As the Book Saint’s words fell, preparations for Heaven-Sealing Pass officially began.
As Pass Lord, Adam immediately threw himself into the intense yet orderly work, he knew deeply that its construction concerned not only the safety of the Mysterious Yellow Great World, but also the hopes and futures of countless living beings.
Adam summoned numerous master artifact refiners and artisans to design the defensive fortifications, although he could do this himself, he was just one person, and the scale of Heaven-Sealing Pass was incomparably massive, if he refined everything alone, how many lifetimes would it take?
However, he personally drew up the detailed blueprints, demanding that every detail be accurate down to the millimeter.
At the same time, he dispatched a team of elite cultivators to search for rare materials and treasures across the Mysterious Yellow Great World, these would be used to refine defensive Dharma treasures and spirit artifacts, enhancing the pass’s overall defensive power.
Under his leadership, the artisans worked day and night, soon, the foundation of Heaven-Sealing Pass began to take shape, whenever they encountered difficult hurdles, Adam personally stepped in.
Under his strict demands and meticulous guidance, construction progressed rapidly. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Before long, a towering, majestic pass had taken initial form, tall and sturdy, with thick city walls, it was covered top to bottom with various defensive formations and spirit artifacts, under Adam’s design, these Dharma treasures and spirit artifacts could resonate with one another, forming a formidable defensive network.
However, right as construction was going on in full swing, the Heavenly Court and the Evil God received the news, they learned that the Mysterious Yellow Great World had built a powerful pass to resist their attacks, and they were incredibly shocked and enraged.
...
In the Heavenly Court, upon learning the news, the Jade Emperor’s expression grew grave.
He knew the Mysterious Yellow Great World possessed immense potential, now that they had built such a formidable pass, their future threat could not be underestimated, he immediately summoned the gods to discuss countermeasures.
"My beloved ministers, the Mysterious Yellow Great World has established Heaven-Sealing Pass, how should we respond?" the Jade Emperor asked.
The gods broke into heated discussion, some advocated deploying troops to attack directly, while others suggested sending scouts first.
"We must attack immediately, if we let them continue to develop, our chances will only shrink."
"Attack? Why don’t you come up with a plan then? The enemy is no longer what they used to be."
"Exactly, can you beat them? Even Nezha was taken down by a single sword strike, if you’re so capable, you go."
"What about the Evil God’s side? Why hasn’t their backup arrived?"
"We cannot be hasty, we need to understand the enemy first."
After a round of fierce arguing, the Jade Emperor decided to first dispatch an elite reconnaissance squad.
Meanwhile, in the Three Poisons Realm.
In a darkness brimming with evil and eeriness, a massive eye slowly opened, then, a dark phantom radiating a bizarre aura knelt before it.
"Yes, I will go investigate right now."
"Please rest assured, Father God, I will definitely complete the mission!"
The dark phantom vanished.
...
In the vast demonic beast forest, a thin, small figure wove through the dense thickets, it was Bruce.
His face was written with determination and bravery, he tightly gripped his crude stone spear, and a makeshift quiver hung from his waist, holding arrows he had crafted himself.
This demonic beast forest was the most dangerous place he had ever been to, countless ferocious beasts inhabited it, some possessed massive builds, some boasted astonishing speed, and some even wielded powerful spells.
Whenever he encountered those kinds, Bruce could only take a detour.
However, his human aura was far too obvious, even though he had smeared demonic beast feces all over his body, beasts still frequently tracked him down.
At night, Bruce climbed into the canopy of a tree, preparing to spend the night there.
He hadn’t had his eyes closed for long when he sensed a dangerous aura beneath the tree, he jolted awake and looked down.
A massive bear demon.
The black bear stood over ten meters tall, its fur as black as ink, a ferocious light gleaming in its eyes, it opened its bloody maw, revealing razor-sharp fangs, seeing Bruce awake, it let out a heaven-shaking roar.
Bruce’s expression remained unchanged, he slung his spear onto his back, drew an arrow, notched it, drew the bow into a full moon, and shot it straight at the bear demon’s mouth.
The black bear dodged.
After dodging, it looked up at Bruce, it seemed to know it couldn’t climb, enraged, it slammed its massive body against the tree trunk, attempting to knock Bruce down.
Bruce wasn’t going to sit around waiting for death, he drew his bow and fired again, but when the arrows struck the black bear’s thick fur, they only left shallow scratches.
Bruce frowned, he had run into a tough opponent.
Bang!
The trunk shook violently, Bruce hugged it tight.
Watching the black bear ram the tree again and again, he knew he couldn’t remain passive, he took a deep breath, steadying his emotions while rapidly formulating a plan.
Struck by an idea, he pulled another arrow, notched it, and aimed at the black bear’s eyes.
The arrow whistled out, heading straight for the bear’s vitals.
The black bear completely ignored it, letting the arrow harmlessly strike its body.
"Damn it."
Bruce cursed, the arrow’s piercing power was far too weak.
He pulled the spear from his back, raised his arm high, and held his breath, he only had two chances.
Now.
He hurled it toward the black bear’s vitals.
The spear arced through the night sky, its speed generating a sonic boom, carrying astonishing power.
But the black bear roared, twisted its body, and miraculously dodged the spear, a trace of mockery flashed across its face, you think this is enough to hurt me?
But the very next second, another whistle tore through the air.
An arrow pierced directly into its left eye.
This was Bruce’s true plan all along, he used the spear to force the bear demon to expose its eyes.
"Roar."
The black bear let out an agonizing roar of fury, blood gushed from the wound, blurring its vision.
Seeing this, Bruce was overjoyed, seizing the opportunity, he leaped down from the tree and charged at the black bear with his second spear in hand, he knew he had to subdue the beast as quickly as possible while it was injured.
