Chapter 602: A Child’s Wrath
Clouds swirled in an intricate corona around a sphere of void. Inside, star-like lights shimmered to contrast the azure sky.
He gasped at the island floating in the centre and the waterfalls drawing rainbows by its sides. But it was the gardens that made his fists tremble. Vermillion, lilac and emerald flowers glinted with life in neat gardens. Besides them, ancient trees covered in fruits that made his stomach grumble pierced the lush soil.
He had no doubts. Their qualities were extraordinary—some even on the Silvermoon tree tier. Yet, his blood boiled, and his legs tensed when he saw what lay behind.
The soil turned into slabs, moats running under immaculate wooden bridges. A palace reminding him of an imperial forbidden city towered behind. Golden roofs supported by red pillars carved with dragons, phoenixes, qilins, and white tigers pierced the void.
He couldn’t see what was hidden behind the walls, but the formations engraved on them made him step forward uncontrollably.
If he could see the sect’s mountain Qi swirl because of its density, the one inside this city seemed almost tangible, an aggregation of life force particles swaying to nurture the blessed land’s vegetation and beasts.
Without realising it, he was already charging toward this treasure trove with a bright smile.
Yet, a frown creased his brows as he saw more core disciples split the wind on their swords. Worse, a few left their groups to hunt down any competing cultivators... and two wearing the blue robes of the Broken Sword Cliff locked on him.
"My, my. What’s such a brat doing in this dangerous competition?" A young man said as he landed and pointed his intricate blade at him.
His colleague leapt behind Adam, shaking his head. "I’m not really into killing kids." He sighed. "You can only blame the competition and your sect leader for his repeated offences against Duan Jian."
Adam cracked his neck as he felt their life force before a grin split his face.
