A highly complex expression flashed across Pear Blossom’s breathtakingly beautiful face. "Green Bamboo, I am tired, I hope we never meet again in the future!"

After saying that, she closed her eyes, and her graceful figure transformed back into a pear tree.

Then it began to disintegrate, countless streams of pinkish-white spiritual energy radiated from her body as her physical form continuously shrank.

Just like her, all the other pear trees in the Bamboo Pear Grotto-Heaven also began to break down and dissolve.

Terrifying amounts of spiritual energy and rich nutrients swept across the entire Grotto-Heaven, and the green bamboos wildly began absorbing it all.

Adam and Cecilia didn’t hold back either, this was exactly the moment they had been waiting for.

The spiritual energy surged violently, forming a massive storm within the Grotto-Heaven that swallowed everything in its path.

This was no ordinary spiritual energy, it was brimming with pure life force, washing over Adam and Cecilia and making them feel incomparably comfortable, as if they had returned to their mother’s womb.

Master and servant completely immersed themselves in this wondrous state of cultivation, their strength continuously skyrocketed, their auras gradually growing more powerful.

An unknown amount of time passed before the spiritual energy storm finally calmed down.

Adam and Cecilia ended their cultivation, their auras had become incredibly deep and formidable, as if they had been entirely reborn.

Feeling the majestic, boundless power coursing through his body, Adam was highly satisfied, through this session, his cultivation base had broken through to the Fifth Heaven of the Deity Realm, his strength had increased massively.

If he were to encounter that black-robed man again, he wouldn’t even need to use his palm.

A single finger would be enough to completely crush him.

Cecilia had similarly broken through to the Third Heaven of the Deity Realm, her combat strength rising significantly.

If she met the black-robed man again, she could easily handle him without the Young Master’s intervention.

"Young Master, are we leaving now?" She opened her eyes and looked at Adam, although the air was still dense with spiritual energy, they had absorbed just about all their bodies could handle. Any more would yield no further benefits.

Adam looked out at the green bamboos and noticed they had completely overwhelmed the pear trees, hardly a trace of pear blossoms could be seen anywhere, but the pear trees hadn’t died.

They had turned into tiny saplings, growing slowly beneath the shadows of the green bamboo.

The green bamboos had become increasingly translucent and vibrantly verdant, Green Bamboo herself, as the guardian, had shot straight up into the clouds, her entire body looking as if carved from flawless jade, many fresh bamboo shoots had sprouted around her.

"Wait a moment, let me see if I can ask for a few bamboo shoots!" A sudden craving struck Adam, and he really wanted to pick a few to take back and taste, they would absolutely be a rare delicacy.

Just as he took a step forward, intending to find Green Bamboo, it happened.

An overwhelmingly massive coercion descended from above, and the sky over the Grotto-Heaven lit up with blinding, multicolored divine light.

Every single hair on Adam’s body stood on end.

The aura of the Heavenly Court! Why would the Heavenly Court come here?!

"We’re leaving right now!" Adam didn’t dare stick around, he didn’t care why the Heavenly Court was here.

All he knew was that the farther away he was from them, the better, as for the bamboo shoots, he abandoned the thought completely.

Cecilia sensed the terrifying aura and rapidly pulled out a teleportation formation disc, placing it at her feet, Adam did the exact same.

Two flashes of formation light flared up, and Adam and Cecilia vanished from the Bamboo Pear Grotto-Heaven.

However, in the split second before they teleported away, Adam witnessed a horrifying scene.

All the spirit bamboos taller than a meter were violently uprooted and sucked into the sky, including those newly sprouted bamboo shoots.

Up in the sky, the magnificent multicolored light suddenly shifted into a supremely evil, purple-black glow, even more terrifying was what appeared beneath it.

A gigantic, blood-soaked maw filled with jagged fangs materialized across the heavens, practically covering half the sky, incessantly devouring the spiritual bamboos and the life-force-rich spiritual energy from the pear trees.

Adam tried to see who the owner of that giant maw was, but he was teleported away in the blink of an eye.

Master and servant reappeared in the mountains outside the Grotto-Heaven, but they didn’t linger for a single second.

They pulled out two more formation discs and began teleporting continuously, jumping further and further away, only when they were absolutely certain there was no danger did they destroy their tracks.

After altering their appearances and hiding out in a small town, they finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

It wasn’t that they were cowardly, but the scene they had witnessed was simply too shocking, that colossal, blood-soaked maw looked like it could devour the entire world, striking primal fear into anyone’s heart, both understood clearly that it was not an entity they could even dream of resisting.

"Young Master, what was that? The Demon Race? Why would there be something so terrifying?" Cecilia asked, still visibly shaken as she took a sip of tea to calm her nerves.

"I don’t know, but I know it’s absolutely not something normal." Adam also took a sip of tea, a grave expression settling over his face.

"Moreover, right before that thing appeared, the sky was completely filled with the aura of the Heavenly Court, this isn’t right, it’s extremely not right, what exactly is going on with the Heavenly Court?"

Before, Adam had only suspected something was wrong with the Heavenly Court, but now, he was almost completely certain of it, he desperately wanted to pull out the Dragon-Tiger Jade Auspicious Scepter and ask her what was going on.

But he didn’t dare, terrified that the Heavenly Court might still be able to lock onto his aura through the artifact.

Meanwhile, inside the Bamboo Pear Grotto-Heaven!

After devouring all the spirit bamboos and the spiritual energy brimming with life force, the terrifying giant maw let out a loud, thunderous burp.

Finally, it spat out a massive fireball.

The giant fireball instantly exploded and swept across the entire Grotto-Heaven.
