Chapter 219
It seemed the place truly lived up to its name, a land forsaken by the spirit, aside from the supersized flora and fauna, there was absolutely nothing supernatural about it.
The hopeful light in the tribe members’ eyes gradually began to dim.
One night, Adam stared at the book in front of him.
It was not as if he was completely out of options, his current beacon of hope was the collection of books left behind by the Book Saint, every night, he picked out books related to space and world structures, hoping to find a method or comprehend a divine ability that could get him out of here.
But so far, he had gained nothing, space was an intrinsically profound concept.
The texts mostly contained theoretical deductions and hypotheses, finding anything practically useful was difficult.
Knock, knock! A sudden knocking broke the silence.
Adam was slightly confused, who would seek him out this late? He instinctively tried to use his divine soul to sense the person outside, but quickly remembered the people here could not be perceived that way, helpless, he got up to open the door.
He was somewhat surprised, it was actually that little rascal, Ava.
"Didn’t I say we’d look at the picture books tomorrow? Why aren’t you sleeping? What are you doing here?" Adam ruffled the little girl’s hair, having stayed here for a while, he had grown quite familiar with her.
She sought him out almost every day, and once she realized he had books, her visits became even more frequent, she could not read the outside world’s writing, but she loved the picture books with their fascinating illustrations.
The little girl’s face was flushed with excitement. "Vice Chief, have you ever tried flying up into the sky? Like, just flying straight up?"
Adam shook his head, after encountering the barrier at the world’s edges, he had abandoned the idea of flying upward, knowing he would just hit another barrier.
"Vice Chief, I saw in the picture book that beyond the sky lies the Heavenly Court! Since there’s a giant shell covering us, if we keep knocking on the shell, won’t the Heavenly Court notice us?" Ava said, her large eyes sparkling with excitement.
Over the past few days, these kids had been constantly offering him ideas, showing even more enthusiasm than Adam himself.
Adam smiled faintly, the Heavenly Court being above the sky was not meant literally, he was just about to explain this when his expression suddenly froze.
That is right... the Heavenly Court!
Adam’s eyes lit up slightly, as the administrator of the myriad realms, the Heavenly Court theoretically possessed the ability to travel to all worlds, coming to this small world should be a breeze, furthermore, their communication spiritual treasures were definitely designed with barriers between worlds in mind.
Adam quickly took out the South Heaven Gate Token given to him by the scruffy old man from his storage bag.
Sure enough, he could feel the connection within it was still active, as long as he infused spiritual qi into it, the scruffy old man would sense it, he could pinpoint Adam’s location and come find him, then Adam could get out.
However, doing so would expose this world and its people, Adam did not quite trust the Heavenly Court right now, besides, he was still a wanted fugitive.
If the Nova Clan had reported his information, he would be throwing himself into the net.
Wait, no, Adam looked at the token in his hand.
This token was connected to the scruffy old man, if his identity had been exposed, the old man could have used it to track his location, he would have already come to arrest him.
Therefore, the Nova Clan had not shared his information with the Heavenly Court.
This struck Adam as strange, but after thinking it through, he understood.
The Nova Clan probably assumed he was someone from the Heavenly Court.
After all, he possessed a supreme treasure like the Dragon-Tiger Jade Auspicious Scepter.
If it was not bestowed by the Heavenly Court, how could a native of the Mysterious Yellow Great World own such an artifact? Because of this, the Nova Clan kept his information from the Heavenly Court.
This was good for him, the Heavenly Court’s gaze had not yet fallen upon him.
Even so, Adam did not plan on triggering the token to have the scruffy old Daoist come pick him up, just as the Nova Clan did not trust the Heavenly Court, he did not trust them either, he did not want the Heavenly Court knowing about Ava’s special physique or the anomalies of this world.
"Vice Chief, do you think my method is useful?" Ava asked excitedly, watching Adam take out a token and fall into deep thought.
I really am a genius to come up with such a clever idea, she thought proudly.
"Your method doesn’t work." Adam patted the little girl’s pigtails, he knew how to get out now, but since it might alert the scruffy old man, he needed to run some experiments first.
Ava’s little face immediately fell, how does this Vice Chief have no tact at all? He could at least put it delicately.
"However, you inspired me and made me think of another way!"
Ava’s face lit up again, she knew it, she definitely was a genius.
Just by casually coming up with an idea, she could inspire Vice Chief Adam, this was something no one else in the entire tribe had managed to do.
"Alright, go back to sleep now!"
"Mhm!" Ava nodded like a chick pecking at rice, then happily trotted away.
Adam returned to his room, he quickly rummaged through his storage bag and pulled out a pile of books.
Foundations of Spiritual Treasure Crafting! How to Become a Forging Master from Scratch! Principles of Artifact Refining! The Complete Guide to Spiritual Treasures!
Adam’s idea was to use the South Heaven Gate Token to reverse engineer the coordinates of the outside Great World, but this required an extremely high level of forging mastery and knowledge of spiritual treasures.
If an ordinary person wanted to understand all this, it might take them several lifetimes, but for Adam, it just required reading it once!
