Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1147 – 1147 1147 High

Chapter 1147: Chapter 1147: High-level Countermeasures Chapter 1147: Chapter 1147: High-level Countermeasures Ethan Smith sits upright, this young man who's called the number one person in the world is now sitting like a student asking questions.

The prophet slowly said: “Your life is full of catastrophes. According to calculations, there are two possibilities.”

Ethan Smith pricked up his ears, not daring to interrupt.

At this moment, the prophet opened his eyes and looked at Ethan Smith.

“Either you'll be beyond redemption, or you'll break free from your shackles.” The prophet said solemnly.

Ethan Smith frowned and asked with a puzzled expression, “Please explain, Senior.”

The prophet closed his eyes and said, “Some things need to be understood on your own.”

Although Ethan Smith wanted to continue asking, the prophet didn't want to answer, so Ethan had no choice.

“Then…Senior, how likely is it that I will never recover?” Ethan Smith asked.

The prophet slowly said, “Ninety percent.”

Ethan Smith couldn't help but gasp.

Isn't that possibility a bit too high?

“I'll give you a piece of advice: things are accomplished by human effort, and nothing is accomplished without tearing down the old.” The prophet said lightly.

Ethan Smith fell silent, seeming to be pondering these four words.

“Alright, it's time for you to ask your next question.” The prophet reminded him.

Not wanting to waste time, Ethan Smith hurriedly told the prophet his remaining two questions.

One was about his mother's background, and the other was about the Path of Heaven's punishment for the Guardians.

According to the information provided by the prophet, Ethan Smith's mother was not dead, but even the prophet didn't know where she was.

As for the Guardian's divine punishment, the prophet's answer was also very strange, still the phrase “Things are accomplished by human effort, and nothing is accomplished without tearing down the old.”

“Senior prophet, please interpret this sentence for me.” Ethan Smith was not satisfied.

The prophet did not speak, but instead, his two disciples behind him said, “Heavenly secrets must not be leaked, what Master has told you is already enough.”

Seeing this, Ethan Smith had no choice but to sigh.

He and the prophet bowed to each other, and then he turned and walked out of the Great Hall.

“How did it go? How did it go?” Edward Green hurriedly walked over and asked.

Ethan Smith said solemnly, “Some things still need to be comprehended by ourselves.”

Although Ethan Smith could understand the phrase “things are accomplished by human effort,” he had some trouble understanding the latter part of “nothing is accomplished without tearing down the old.”

“Could it be that the prophet wants me to go to extremes?” Ethan Smith touched his chin and muttered softly.

Those who achieve great things often survive in the cracks and walk an extraordinary path.

At this moment, Ethan Smith didn't know that the sentence “nothing is accomplished without tearing down the old” had greatly helped him in the choices he made later on his cultivation path.

Time flew by, and when everyone had finished asking their questions, it was already past eight in the evening.

“Alright, let's go.” Daphne Green said.

As they walked out, the group exchanged information about what they had asked.

For example, when would the Holy Region be opened, and what about the eighteen array platforms, etc.

According to the inquiries, the Holy Region would be opened in about a month.

However, to everyone's regret, after the Holy Region was opened, to enter it, one needed a rare specific material.

This material had already disappeared from the Earth, so to enter the Holy Region, one had to wait for the Holy Region sect's guidance.

As for when this guidance would occur, the prophet did not say.

When they returned to the car, Brian Bradley chose to sit with Ethan Smith.

“Well, have you located the Obadiah Heptinstall?” Ethan Smith asked with a smile.

Brian Bradley nodded and said, “The prophet indeed told me the location, but…he said that there are more than one inheritor of the Immortal Slaying Sect, which confirms my previous guess.”

“Emmett Middleton?” Ethan Smith frowned and instinctively asked.

Brian Bradley said, “I asked the prophet, but he didn't answer that question, so I can't be sure right now.”

Ethan Smith touched his chin and said, “Emmett's techniques are indeed a bit strange, but…he doesn't look like the inheritor of the Immortal Slaying Sect.”

“Yeah.” Brian Bradley sighed slightly.

“From the surface, Emmett appears very refined and uncompetitive, and it's difficult to connect him with the evildoers of the Immortal Slaying Sect.”

Ethan Smith patted Brian Bradley's shoulder and said, “Once we find the Obadiah Heptinstall, everything will be clear.”

“I can only hope so.” Brian Bradley nodded.

After returning to the Second Secret Realm, everyone temporarily parted ways.

As for when someone would come to guide them to the Holy Region, even the prophet did not know, but they at least knew that the Holy Region would not be officially opened until a month later.

This month's time was just right for Ethan Smith to comprehend the line word formula.

At this time, in the Paramount Mystic Realm.

Dashiell Garrett and the other seven senior officials gathered together.

“How about it, did you find that secret technique?” One senior official asked.

Dashiell Garrett nodded slightly and said, “I exhausted all my efforts and finally managed to find this secret technique.”

“Can this secret technique really absorb the power of all eight of us?” Another senior official asked doubtfully.

Dashiell Garrett snorted softly and said, “This is a secret technique left by our ancestors, so there is no problem, but…we need to find a trustworthy person, someone who will absolutely obey orders.”

Everyone looked at each other, seemingly all thinking of one person at the same time.

That person was none other than Marc Fraley.

Since Luke Fraley's death, Marc has lost his value.

But unwilling to give up, he willingly served the eight senior officials in order to avenge his father, running errands for them every day like a dog they kept, extremely obedient.

“Luke Fraley has served us for his whole life; it's only right for his son to make sacrifices for us.”

“That's right, besides, Marc has an intense hatred for Ethan Smith. He might be the most suitable candidate.”
