The black-robed middle-aged man was sent flying backward like a kite with a snapped string, crashing fiercely into the ground as he violently spurted blood from his mouth.
In that moment, the entire scene fell dead silent, every single gaze converged on Adam, filled with awe and shock.
They never imagined this young man would be so powerful that even a black-robed middle-aged man at the Fifth Heaven of the Deity Realm was no match for him.
"So strong! Is this his true strength?" someone muttered.
"Seventh Heaven of the Deity Realm! He has the strength of at least the Seventh Heaven!" another exclaimed.
"Too terrifying, we better stay away from him so we don’t bring trouble upon ourselves," someone said warily.
Even the Azure Leaf Sect disciples didn’t dare step forward, not even daring to breathe loudly, they were terrified of being instantly one-shotted by Adam.
Adam paid no attention to the crowd’s discussions, he walked up to the black-robed middle-aged man and looked down at him.
"The weak, indeed, do not deserve to live."
The black-robed man’s face was deathly pale, spitting out blood, his eyes were filled with terror and despair, he knew he had kicked an iron plate this time, he had actually been defeated in a single move.
"Spare me, Senior, spare my life! It was I who had eyes but failed to recognize Mt. Tai!"
He hastily begged for mercy, crying out internally about his terrible luck, he had just wanted to casually find two people to kill and vent his anger, only to bump into a hidden supreme expert. Who could he even reason with?
"Scram, all of you from the Azure Leaf Sect are to leave this place immediately, none of you are permitted to enter the Grotto-Heaven." Adam’s voice was as cold as the dead of winter.
The black-robed man felt as if he had received a grand amnesty, he hastily nodded, struggled to his feet, and quickly led the Azure Leaf Sect away.
They didn’t dare linger for even a moment, terrified Adam might change his mind.
Watching them depart, the surrounding rogue cultivators all breathed a sigh of relief before casting gazes of deep reverence toward Adam.
They knew this young man was a true powerhouse, someone they absolutely could not afford to provoke.
Adam paid no mind to their stares, he turned to look at the Grotto-Heaven’s entrance and led Cecilia inside.
Although the Azure Leaf Sect had acted fiercely, they hadn’t actually killed anyone, however, Adam wasn’t going to let that black-robed man off so easily either, after returning this time, the black-robed man would discover his cultivation realm dropping lower and lower until he was reduced to a mere mortal.
Of course, none of that was Adam’s business anymore, it would be exceedingly difficult for the other party to ever find him again.
Within the Bamboo Pear Grotto-Heaven.
The spiritual energy was dense, pooling with the essence of heaven and earth.
The entire Grotto-Heaven had only two main themes.
Snow-white pear blossoms that felt as if they would never wither, and crisp, emerald-green bamboo, they complemented each other beautifully amidst the mountain ranges, a truly breathtaking sight.
"Is this the Bamboo Pear Grotto-Heaven?" Cecilia looked at the surrounding scenery, a trace of marvel flashing in her eyes, she could feel that the spiritual energy here was far denser than the outside world.
Adam nodded,, he too sensed the uniqueness of this place.
The spiritual energy here wasn’t just dense, but also exceptionally pure, which was immensely beneficial for cultivation, moreover, these spirit bamboos and pear blossoms were all spiritual entities offering various benefits.
Those who had entered earlier had long since vanished among the green bamboo and pear blossoms, beginning their search for opportunities.
The two of them, however, weren’t in a rush to dive deep, just as the black-robed man had said, true opportunities were not easily discovered, they still needed to wait.
The master and servant decided to stroll around first to get a feel for the layout.
They followed a winding path deeper inside, admiring the scenery and sensing the shifts in spiritual energy.
After about half an hour, they arrived before a bamboo grove.
This grove was somewhat different from the surrounding ones, every bamboo stalk stood over ten meters tall, and the leaves were a vibrant, dripping emerald, emitting a faint, refreshing fragrance.
Adam and Cecilia exchanged a glance, knowing they had reached the inner depths, they stepped into the grove together.
Inside, the spiritual energy was even denser, practically forming a visible mist that made one feel as if they had stepped into a fairyland, they followed a small path through the bamboo, going deeper and deeper.
After about fifteen minutes, they arrived beside a crystal-clear stream.
The stream was surrounded by emerald bamboo, the water as green as jade and so clear you could see the bottom, fish swam freely, as if welcoming their arrival.
Adam and Cecilia stood by the stream, feeling the coolness of the water and the rich spiritual energy, unable to help but marvel at the miraculous nature of this Grotto-Heaven.
Adam’s mind began to scheme again, if I could transplant this entire Grotto-Heaven onto the island, it would make for a pretty nice landscape!
Right at that moment, they suddenly heard a melodious singing voice.
The sound was crisp and pleasing to the ear, like the music of heaven.
They looked in the direction of the song and saw a woman dressed in white sitting on a large boulder by the stream, holding an emerald bamboo flute. She was playing a melodious tune.
Her features were delicate and her temperament elegant, resembling a fairy untainted by the mortal world.
Adam raised an eyebrow, this woman’s appearance was a bit earlier than he had anticipated, he led Cecilia over to the woman’s side and quietly listened to her singing and flute playing.
The woman’s singing and the flute’s melody harmonized perfectly, making one feel as if immersed in a beautiful dream.
They listened entranced, seemingly forgetting the passage of time, it wasn’t until the song and the melody gradually faded that they snapped back to reality.
"Thank you both for listening." The woman smiled, nodded to them, and then put away her bamboo flute.
