"If they find an opportunity to become deities within, I fear the entire Sword Sect will be annihilated in an instant. Therefore, no matter what, this old Daoist must stop them."

"In half a month, this old Daoist will enter the Immortal Burial Ancient Tomb and die together with those nine Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors."

"Without those nine Divine Heirs, the rest of the Silver Willow dynasty is nothing but mediocrity in your eyes, little friend. As long as you are here, the Sword Heir’s safety is guaranteed."

Adam was profoundly shocked, and a trace of deep admiration flashed in his eyes.

To be willing to sacrifice his own life for the rise of the Sword Sect, such immense righteousness truly commanded his respect.

Adam wanted to say more, but Cecilia spoke up first. "Senior Brother Sect Master, Cecilia is not worth this! With your aptitude, Senior Brother, you could equally lead the Sword Sect to greatness."

"Cecilia is nothing but a jinx, abandoned by my parents in youth, and when I grew slightly older, my master and mistress both passed away."

"Now that I have come to the Sword Sect, I have brought this massive disaster upon you. It is absolutely not worth the numerous elders sacrificing so much."

"Senior Brother Desolate Sword, quickly persuade Senior Brother Sect Master! Sacrificing himself for Cecilia is far too unworthy."

Tearfully, Cecilia turned to Desolate Sword for help.

Desolate Sword stood there rigidly like a wooden post. With his head lowered, he remained utterly silent, invisibly consenting to the Sword Sect Master’s proposal.

The Sword Sect Master helped Cecilia up, speaking with a free and easy demeanor. "Sword Heir, you need not feel guilty. Although this old Daoist possesses some aptitude, compared to you, it is like a firefly trying to outshine the bright moon."

"With this old Daoist’s capabilities, I might be able to make the Sword Sect famous within the Vast Azure Region. But under your leadership, Sword Heir, the name of the Sword Sect will definitely resound throughout the entire Mysterious Yellow World."

Pausing for a moment, a faint smile appeared on his face, and a sacred light flickered in his eyes.

"Speaking of which, to encounter a true, unparalleled genius like you, Sword Heir... who knows how many lifetimes of good karma our Sword Sect had to accumulate."

"You need not feel guilty. If this old Daoist couldn’t even seize such an opportunity, I would be ashamed to call myself the Sword Sect Master."

"After this old Daoist passes on, please revive the Sword Sect well. In your hands, the Sword Sect will attain unprecedented power."

This was a massive gamble.

If they won, with Cecilia’s aptitude, as long as she did not die prematurely, she would definitely become a peerless figure in the Mysterious Yellow World, and the Sword Sect would rise with her to become a great orthodoxy renowned across heaven and earth.

If they lost, the three-hundred-year history of the Sword Sect would see its mountain gate shattered and its orthodox lineage extinguished.

In his heart, Adam could not help but admire the Sword Sect Master’s absolute audacity to pin the entire rise and fall of the sect onto Cecilia.

"Cecilia, listen to Senior Sect Master’s instructions, revive the Sword Sect well in the future, and do not disappoint the expectations of Senior Sect Master and the many elders."

"Young Master!!!"

For the first time, Cecilia felt a bit displeased with Adam, her tone carrying a hint of reproach.

Adam did not mind it at all and continued. "In half a month, I will personally enter the Immortal Burial Ancient Tomb alongside Senior Sect Master to eliminate those nine Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors."

"Little friend Adam, you absolutely must not! The Immortal Burial Ancient Tomb is fraught with extreme danger."

"If even the slightest mishap befalls you, with the Sword Sect’s current strength, we will be unable to protect the Sword Heir."

The Sword Sect Master repeatedly refused, disagreeing with Adam going to the ancient tomb.

"Senior Sect Master, if you had absolute certainty that you could slay all nine of Silver Willow’s Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors, this junior would certainly follow your instructions and help look after the Sword Sect."

"This matter is of grave importance. If you miss even a single one, and a Divine Heir obtains the opportunity to become a deity from the ancient tomb... with my current strength, how could I possibly match a Heaven and Earth Deity?"

"Furthermore, Senior Sect Master, with me helping you, there is no need to enter the Immortal Burial Ancient Tomb."

"I know a little about formations and can set up a Heaven and Earth Grand Formation to trap those nine Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors within it."

"With the help of this formation, coupled with our joint efforts, this junior calculates we have a seventy percent chance of annihilating them."

Adam did not want to take such a risk either.

But he knew this matter was of utmost importance.

If the Sword Sect Master failed, it would be far too difficult for Adam alone to slay several Heaven and Earth Deities while still a Mortal Supreme, especially since these would not be ordinary deities.

However, merely eliminating nine Proving the Dao Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors would drastically lower the difficulty.

With his current strength, he alone could match three Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors.

What was more, he was on the verge of a breakthrough. In just a few days, he would step into Mastering the Dao.

When that time came, his strength would see another massive leap, his power alone would be enough to fight those nine to a standstill.

Add in the help of a top-tier expert like the Sword Sect Master and the Heaven and Earth Grand Formation, and they had at least a seventy percent chance of killing all nine.

Hearing Adam’s reasoning, the Sword Sect Master was somewhat speechless.

If he truly had absolute certainty, why would he think of dying together with those nine Divine Heirs?

If what Adam said was true, there was indeed a very high chance of success.

A trace of temptation stirred in the Sword Sect Master’s heart.

The Ancient Ash Clan, Heavenly Pivot Hall.

Inside the grand hall, the originally desolate and silent Heavenly Pivot Hall was now packed with the ancient clan’s elders, many elders looked at each other, none of them knowing what had happened.
