Mrs. and Mr. Smith -
Chapter 2056
Chapter 2056: Chapter 2056: Astral Mountain Grand Gathering_1 Chapter 2056: Chapter 2056: Astral Mountain Grand Gathering_1 Ethan Smith returned to his residence and began preparing to create a clone.
He knew that this clone must possess enough strength and wisdom to effortlessly navigate the grand gathering of the nine great families and obtain crucial information.
To achieve this goal, Ethan decided to use a mysterious secret technique to create the clone.
The technique was called “Soul Splitting Technique,” which could separate a portion of a cultivator's divine sense and exist independently, forming a clone similar to themselves.
Although powerful, this technique had significant side effects. If not handled carefully, it could cause damage to the divine sense, even permanent injury.
Ethan touched his chin and thought to himself, “The birth of this technique was to protect oneself when necessary and lead a normal life, but obviously, it is not suitable for me.”
For Ethan, he only needed a clone to listen in on the gathering, so there was no need to risk so much.
Therefore, Ethan decided to use only a trace of his divine sense to support this clone, which needed only to exist ordinarily and converse.
In this way, even if the clone was slapped to death by the people of the nine great families, Ethan would not care.
Ethan then spent three days preparing many precious spiritual herbs and magical artifacts, arranging them around his room.
Following the secret technique's required formation, he sat at its center, concentrating his spirit and stabilizing his divine sense and primordial spirit.
As the secret technique guided him, a trace of Ethan's divine sense flew out from between his eyebrows. Under the effect of the formation, it slowly condensed into a solid form.
Time passed by quickly; since the required quality for this clone was not high, it didn't take long for it to gradually take shape.
The clone looked identical to Ethan, like his twin. Moreover, they shared a connection of divine senses without interfering with each other, which was more than suitable for Ethan.
After completing all this, Ethan quietly awaited the news of the grand gathering's commencement.
In the inn, Ethan sat cross-legged and slightly closed his eyes, sensing the significant improvement in his state of mind.
It had to be said that his fight with Elder Wilson and his enlightenment under the Bodhi ancient tree allowed Ethan to gain a deeper understanding of Dao techniques.
Although this newfound insight wasn't yet enough for Ethan to advance to the Late Returning Void Stage, based on his estimation, he would be able to comprehend the Dao techniques of the Late Returning Void Stage within a year at most.
“If the journey to the Chaos Grave goes smoothly and I obtain the Traceless Immortal Scripture or even Clayton Schmidt's body, my progress will be immeasurable,” Ethan thought privately.
Of course, Ethan knew in his heart that this expedition would not go as smoothly as he imagined, even with the supreme bone in his possession, it was still a life-threatening ordeal.
“Let's split up,” Ethan slowly stood up.
Staying at the inn was pointless. Ethan decided to move his main body to hide near the Chaos Grave, while the clone would gather information in various taverns.
Not far from the Chaos Grave, Ethan soon arrived at its vicinity, thanks to his terrifying speed.
He concealed his aura, found a place to hide temporarily, and watched everything coldly like a beast lurking in the shadows.
Now, the Chaos Grave no longer had the “bustling” scene of the past; the strong offensive actions by the nine great families had made the deathly aura inside even more terrifying, even the tomb slaves had become somewhat restless.
“Ahh!”
Soon, a tragic scream came from inside the Chaos Grave, as if someone had been torn in half by a tomb slave.
These people were like moths to a flame despite knowing they were walking into certain death, they still charged forward one after another.
However, Ethan didn't think they were stupid; rather, he felt a mix of emotions.
Given the choice, who would want to hazard their lives for success?
In just a few days, several Saint Weapons had been shattered, and the Chaos Grave had become a genuine battlefield, filled with blood and a lingering atmosphere of death.
On the other side,
Ethan's clone visited various taverns daily. He covered his face with the brim of a hat, silently walked to a corner, ordered two plates of beast meat and a bottle of warm wine, and quietly waited for news.
One day, Ethan came to the tavern as usual.
Today, there were noticeably fewer people in the tavern than usual; the few remaining guests were idly chatting.
Ethan's brow furrowed slightly, sensing that something was off.
He lowered his hat, went to a table, and whispered, “My friend, why are there so few people today?”
The guest took a glance at Ethan and said, “Most of them have gone to the grand gathering of the nine great families. Do you think those people are fools? For people like us, who are as insignificant as ants, what's the point of going there? Even if we see those so-called big shots, they won't even spare us a glance.”
“Exactly. It's better to live our own lives. If we can get through this life uneventfully, that's already pretty good.”
However, at this moment, Ethan was not interested in hearing this; he eagerly asked, “So where is the gathering?”
“Look, there's a fool,” the guest ridiculed mercilessly.
Ethan didn't get angry; he just anxiously said, “My friend, I have important matters at the gathering. If it's convenient, please let me know.”
“It's at Astral Mountain; if you want to go, you should hurry. Otherwise, you'll be too late,” another guest said.
Ethan quickly thanked them and then dashed out of the tavern.
“Sigh, young people are always so energetic.”
“Yeah, when I was young, I also had wild fantasies of making a name for myself in the Holy Region, but in the end? I was still beaten by society and had to face reality.”
Astral Mountain was said to be a boundary of the Holy Region.
Beyond Astral Mountain was the path to the Starry Sky.
In the depths of Astral Mountain, there was a huge mountain gate that had been dormant for many years. It was said that long ago, some people had entered the Starry Sky realm seeking experience, but no one knew their whereabouts.
Astral Mountain was incredibly vast; as it was located on the boundary of the Holy Region, its scenery was exceptionally diverse and had an extremely mysterious atmosphere.
The trees on the mountain reached the sky, with various spiritual herbs growing everywhere and rare beasts roaming the woods.
The qi of this place was even richer, making it extremely refreshing.
Astral Mountain was not only famous for its geographical location but also for its many legends and mysterious aura. There was a hidden place within the mountain called Starry Sky Mystic Realm. Passing through that mountain gate would lead one to the Starry Sky Mystic Realm and then into the Starry Sky.
Today, Astral Mountain had become the venue for the grand gathering of the nine great families, attracting cultivators from all around to participate.
At the foot of the mountain, a makeshift city had sprung up like mushrooms, gathering a large number of cultivators in a short time.
Ethan's clone arrived at the foot of Astral Mountain after much effort.
Looking up, he saw towering mountains, clouds and mist entwining around them, giving off a mysterious and unpredictable feeling.
