After inviting the cultivators from the four families—no, only three remained now—into the Tai Xuan Sect, Adam finally had time to receive the West Queen Mother.
"Thank you for coming to lend your aid this time, Queen Mother."
"Daoist, you truly flatter me..."
The West Queen Mother's feelings were incomparably complicated. It seemed she had worried for nothing. The Beginningless Great Emperor's successor was as invincible and unmatched as the Beginningless Great Emperor had been in his day.
Yet there was one question she simply could not keep to herself:
"Where did you obtain that Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, Daoist?"
At first, she had assumed the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation belonged to someone else, who had merely acted from the shadows. But after Adam stored the formation within his bitter sea, she could no longer entertain that guess.
However, the West Queen Mother immediately added:
"If it concerns some secret, Daoist need not say."
"It is no great matter. I previously obtained a star map's coordinates from an inheritance of the Feathered God Dynasty, so I left Beidou for a while some days ago."
Adam smiled calmly.
"During my exploration, I happened upon a hidden place by chance. After investigating it, I discovered that it had once been a station on the Starry Sky Ancient Road during the Mythological Era. I also obtained Lingbao Tianzun's inheritance there."
The West Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then sighed.
"Truly, it is a matter of opportunity and fate, with heaven and earth lending their strength..."
