Adam understood, relying purely on intuition, he grabbed one of the herbs and tossed it into his mouth.
"Young Master, be careful!" Cecilia exclaimed, worry written across her face, what if it was poisonous?
But after Adam swallowed the herb, a long time passed, and nothing happened.
Rumble!
The scenery shifted, and Adam and Cecilia returned to the original palace hall.
"I succeeded? As expected!" The heavy stone in Adam’s heart dropped, what the Five Senses Great Emperor tested was one’s courage in desperate situations.
"Congratulations, you have passed the trial, now you can take me away!"
The voice rang out once more, however, it was no longer that of an old man, it was the voice of a little boy.
Adam and Cecilia looked around in surprise, only to see a little boy appear in the palace hall, he wore a gorgeous brocade robe and had a handsome face with a red dot between his eyebrows, his eyes sparkled with intelligence.
"You... you couldn’t be that Senior from just now, could you?" Adam asked in disbelief.
The little boy nodded and smiled. "That’s right, it’s me, so many years... great, someone finally passed the trial, now you can take me out of here."
"Wait, you’re just a little boy, why were you pretending to be an old grandpa?" Cecilia said with dissatisfaction.
"This is an ancient secret realm, after all, if a little boy’s voice rang out, wouldn’t that ruin the atmosphere?" The little boy showed no weakness and retorted.
Adam and Cecilia were speechless.
"Well, we are here to find the Imperial Artifact, you wouldn’t happen to be..."
"That’s right! I am none other than the noble and valiant Imperial Artifact!" The little boy raised his chin proudly.
"What kind of weapon’s artifact spirit are you?" A gleam flashed in Adam’s eyes, seeing through the boy’s true essence.
"Can’t you show me respect? I’m a senior who has lived thousands of years, although I look small, you can’t treat me like this, right? At least call me Senior!" The little boy complained gloomily.
Adam and Cecilia exchanged a glance, looking at the boy’s appearance, they could not bring themselves to say it.
"Forget it, since you’ve both passed the trial... I really should have asked the Great Emperor to forge my appearance older back then!" The little boy sighed, in an instant, he transformed into a streak of five-colored spiritual light and flew into Adam’s hand, a five-colored flower mark appeared on his palm.
Adam felt a connection stir in his heart, with a thought, a small five-colored bell pagoda materialized in his palm, each tier bore a different color, its body crafted from glazed crystal, incredibly beautiful.
"Alright, now you know, right?" The little boy’s voice rang out in Adam’s mind.
"I am the Sense-Depriving Glazed Imperial Pagoda, an Imperial Artifact, you struck dumb luck, kid! To think a mere Seventh Heaven Deity could pass the trial!"
Then the little boy exclaimed in surprise. "Wait, that’s not right, how come you have something so terrifying inside your body?"
Just as those words faded, the mark on Adam’s palm was blasted out by a repulsive force, the little boy crashed heavily onto the ground.
The little boy lay there, staring at Adam with sheer terror.
"How do you have such a terrifying thing inside your body?"
He could not understand how someone at the Seventh Heaven of the Deity Realm could possess a Primal Chaotic Azure Lotus, that was a supreme treasure of heaven and earth, a paramount existence capable of proving the Dao for all eternity.
The last Great Emperor of this world had been a Primal Chaotic Azure Lotus that developed sentience and proved its Dao.
Why was there one inside Adam’s body? There were only two in all heaven and earth, one belonged to Buddhism, the other had become an Emperor, this made no sense.
Could there be a third Azure Lotus? It should not be possible, having followed the Great Emperor for countless eras, what secrets did he not know? What places had he not visited? If a third existed, how could he be unaware?
Could this person be the Great Emperor living a second life?
"I just accidentally comprehended it, it’s rather domineering and doesn’t allow anything else to stay inside my body, so you’d better just follow beside me."
Adam knew exactly what the little boy meant.
The Primal Chaotic Azure Lotus, ever since it appeared in his divine soul, nothing else was permitted to reside there, it was incredibly tyrannical, and even Adam was helpless against it, as its rank was simply too high, up to now he could only passively utilize it, whenever he suffered bewitchment or mind control, it sent a tremor through his divine soul, snapping him back to clarity, but its abilities were not limited to that alone.
"You aren’t the reincarnation of the Azure Lotus Great Emperor, are you?" The little boy voiced his doubt, Adam had broken through five trials relying merely on Seventh Heaven Deity cultivation and even grasped the Great Emperor’s most crucial core philosophy, those trials were prepared for Quasi-Saints.
Only existences about to prove their Dao and enter the Saint Realm were supposed to comprehend them, for this person to be so extraordinary, there could be only one explanation, only a Great Emperor’s reincarnation would possess such ability.
"I’m not, if I were, I would directly become an Emperor right now and have my own Imperial Artifact, why would I come looking for you?" Adam shook his head.
If he truly were a Great Emperor’s reincarnation, having developed this long with the system’s help, why would he worry about the Heavenly Court or the Evil God? He would suppress them all single-handedly, daring to act insolently before him? They would simply be overestimating their own strength.
"Alright, no need to dwell on this, since you’ve agreed to leave with us, let’s get going, how do we leave?" Adam did not want to waste more time, the priority was getting the Imperial Artifact out and deploying the plan against the Heavenly Court.
"By returning the way you came, of course, don’t you have a map?" The little boy asked.
"Isn’t there a more sophisticated method? You’re an Imperial Artifact, aren’t you? And this is your territory, can’t you teleport us out directly?" Adam frowned, it had taken them two full hours to walk in from outside, and that was at the pace of two cultivators, moreover, flight was restricted here, they could only rely on traveling on foot.
