Chapter 1233: Realmsinger
The entity seemed confident that the treasure could act like an imperial pardon, saving him from Heaven's pursuit. No ordinary treasure could accomplish that, so it was likely a supreme item like the one the Primo was forced to leave behind. And that wasn't even covering the dangers of the courts themselves. There was no way they would be empty palaces with the relics on open display.
There was no such thing as a free lunch, and that was especially true for era-defining treasures. But so what? Zac wouldn't abandon Vilari again after letting her face the evil entity on her own for years. He'd turn the whole trial upside-down if he had to, let alone raid another court.
"The troublesome ones should be focused on the main court," Zac said with a confident smile, not wanting to worry Vilari. "It should be fine if we can meet up."
The proclamation wasn't blind hubris after forming his first Earthly Dao. Zac was in the middle of his final burst of rapid progress, harvesting the fruits of years of hard work. He should have evolved his Daos of Life and Death before reaching the Foreign Gods while getting another boost from the Flamebearer seal. After reaching that point, Zac was confident in dealing with any second-string sealbearers and below.
The only real threat was the devilish talents among the other Flamebearers and potential dark horses of equal power. They should be focusing on Ultom, lessening the risk of running into them. At least that was what Zac hoped, though he knew he might be overly optimistic. Would those talents really ignore the Outer Courts? They still contained peak treasures that could make Supremacies drool.
Furthermore, seizing the Eternal Heritage should not be as simple as reaching the heart of the Left Imperial Palace. It could very well require something like a key from the lower courts, possibly all of them, to prove themselves worthy.
"I'm grateful, but I believe this is a challenge I have to face myself," Vilari said with a determined expression.
Zac didn't like the idea of Vilari facing this challenge alone, but he held his tongue. She'd just woken up, and it wouldn't be too late to revisit the topic later. And there were other ways he could help than joining her in person.
"What do you know about the item?"
