Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182: Final Fight [PART 2]

Ten figures sat around a circular table, their imposing silhouettes partially obscured in the chamber’s ethereal light. The atmosphere was quite chilling, an ordinary cultivator would’ve not been able to last a minute in the room.

"The elemental spirits have been detected in the Eastern Continent," one man said.

"So what?" another man replied impatiently, dismissing the news with a casual wave of his hand. "They’re in the Nascent Soul realm at best. Why should we care about them?" His fingers drummed against the jade table in irritation.

The first man let out a sigh. "We have detected signs of the birth of a new spirit," he continued.

"What?" The impatient man’s dismissive attitude vanished instantly, replaced by genuine shock.

A woman seated across the table interjected before the conversation could escalate further. "What’s the big deal? It’s just another spirit. What does it matter if there are five or ten?" Hearing her words, the impatient man calmed somewhat, returning to his chair.

But the first man shook his head. "It’s not that simple," he explained with a weary sigh. "We’re almost ninety percent sure that this time, the new spirit is human."

"Impossible!" The impatient man slammed his palm against the table again.

A third man, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke up. "If it’s a human, then it is indeed cause for concern," he acknowledged, stroking his beard thoughtfully. "Have you confirmed this information?"

"We’re in the process of confirming it," the first man replied.

The third man nodded, his eyes gleaming with interest. "If it is indeed a human, then they must possess extraordinary talent. I’ll have to invite them to my Heavenly Palace."

When the impatient man heard this, his expression twisted with indignation. "What? They should join my Celestial Ascension Sect," he countered, unwilling to concede such a potential treasure.

The others merely shook their heads at this exchange. These two had always been rivals, competing for resources and talents across the ages. Some things just never changed.

"Alright, it hasn’t been confirmed yet. Let’s discuss this matter later," a fourth man interrupted, causing the two to cease their verbal sparring.

"That’s right," the third man conceded, retreating from the conflict temporarily.

The fourth man’s gaze swept across the assembled people. "A thousand years are almost over," he spoke. "It’s time for another ’Demon Hunting Order.’"

...

Gao Aotian’s soul clone stood before a seemingly ordinary rock formation. After spreading his divine sense throughout the sect earlier, he had noticed this peculiar area blocking his perception. After checking it out, he could confirm that it was a concealment array.

A predatory smile spread across his face as he considered what might be hidden here.

"If not her most important person, then what could be worth concealing with such care?" he thought smugly. Though she had been clever enough to use this protective measure, she had inadvertently revealed her secret. For someone with a sufficiently powerful divine sense like himself, even areas shrouded by concealment formations became conspicuous through their very absence.

He placed his palm against the invisible barrier and began deconstructing it. For someone of his level, seeing through such formations was elementary. Unlike the sect-wide defensive array, which he’d carefully manipulated to avoid detection, this one he could dismantle without care of alerting anyone. Within seconds, the protective veil dissolved beneath his touch.
