When the tribulation clouds dispersed, the Undying Heavenly Blade, suppressed beneath Adam's palm, found itself in an awkward position.
It had not expected that it had originally come under the Undying Heavenly Emperor's orders to fight in his stead and slay the Beginningless Great Emperor's successor, only to not only fail, but also be unable to return.
After Adam released the Beginningless Bell, it hung silently in the air. For the first time, its divine spirit emerged from within the bell—a figure very similar to the Beginningless Great Emperor.
How should one put it? He looked somewhat younger than the Beginningless Great Emperor who had stepped out of the tribulation clouds earlier.
The Beginningless Bell's divine spirit silently stared at the Undying Heavenly Blade, his gaze exceedingly complicated.
It was as though he were saying: Bro, it's been so long... how did you become this pathetic?
Well, that was Adam's own imagination. He did not know whether the Beginningless Bell and the Undying Heavenly Emperor had ever met, but the two imperial weapons surely knew their masters' current circumstances.
Thus, the Undying Heavenly Blade seemed somewhat agitated.
Then the Devouring Demon Jar, the Severing Immortal Gourd, and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation all emerged.
The Undying Heavenly Blade fell silent for a while, then completely lapsed into silence.
It was clearly aware that it could not escape, yet it refused to communicate with Adam, much less serve him. It looked as though it would flee the instant it found an opportunity.
"No matter. Stay with me for a while, and you will learn what the correct path is."
Adam stored the Undying Heavenly Blade within his inner world, and the Wooden Book slowly descended above it.
The current Wooden Book did not even need other imperial formations or auxiliary aids.
