Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 2053

Chapter 2053: Chapter 2053: The Terrifying Aspect of Clayton Schmidt Chapter 2053: Chapter 2053: The Terrifying Aspect of Clayton Schmidt Before the opening of the Chaos Grave, Ethan Smith had obtained two desiccated bones.

Those two dry bones were placed on the fisheyes of the Tai Chi Diagram. Ethan Smith had always been clueless about the origins of these bones, but now he intended to give them a try.

“Regardless, I need to give it a shot.” Ethan Smith gasped deep breath, murmuring in a low voice.

The reason he had not informed Salena Carpenter and Ken Middleton was that once they knew his plan, they would undoubtedly accompany him.

But Ethan Smith had no guarantee, the Chaos Grave was like a killing machine- if he failed, it meant certain death.

Thus, he didn't want them to take such a risk, he had to pretend to give up.

Ethan Smith concealed his breathing and walked on the street.

He was not in a hurry to go to the Chaos Grave; instead, he planned to visit the Frostmoon Palace and meet the Williams saintess.

Nobody knew the final outcome of this trip, so Ethan Smith decided to explain the things needing to be explained before he headed to the Chaos Grave.

The road ahead was unimpeded. It seemed like the Wilson family had given up on him. There was no trace of them searching.

As a result, Ethan Smith did not take much time and soon arrived at the Frostmoon Palace.

Standing at the entrance of the Frostmoon Palace, two guardians blocked Ethan Smith's way.

Ethan Smith walked forward, slightly bowing and said, “Please notify the inside about my visit; tell them Ethan Smith is seeking an audience.”

Upon hearing Ethan Smith's name, a look of surprise flashed on the faces of the guardians.

They up and downed Ethan Smith, their gaze filled with doubts.

“Let him in.”

At this moment, a leisurely voice from the deep part of the Frostmoon Palace reached their ears.

Upon hearing this, the two guardians bowed to Ethan Smith and said politely, “Mr. Smith, please come with us.”

Ethan Smith didn't say much. He followed the two guardians into the Frostmoon Palace.

The Frostmoon Palace was hanging in mid-air, surrounded by a thin mist, giving it a fairyland like appearance.

Upon entering the palace, antiquated buildings and stone paths were visible. Ancient laurel trees covered the sky and sun, and under the trees were numerous exotic flowers and plants, emitting a heart-soothing aroma.

Walking on the winding path, the bamboo shadows were patchy, and occasionally a few clear bird calls echoed in ears.

This place seemed like a fairy pavilion, enveloped by moonlight. It was cold yet stunningly beautiful.

As he saw more of it, Ethan Smith felt more and more sentimental, and this place was strikingly similar to the Moon Palace from mythological stories.

Soon enough, Ethan Smith arrived at the giant laurel tree.

The Williams saintess was as always, sitting under the laurel and drinking tea. She looked like a fairy from afar.

“Mr. Smith.” Seeing Ethan Smith, the Williams saintess smiled at him.

Ethan Smith bowed and took a seat across from the Williams saintess.

“How come Mr. Smith is in such a lonely place?” The Williams saintess poured tea for Ethan Smith and asked.

Ethan Smith said half-jokingly and half-seriously, “I missed you, is that not allowed?”

The Williams saintess feigned surprise, “Being missed by Mr. Smith, I am truly blessed.”

Ethan Smith gave a bitter smile then said earnestly “I am probably considered a public enemy here. Aren't you scared the Williams Family might set a trap for me?”

The Williams saintess giggled, “Not quite sure about that… but since Mr. Smith is already here, he must have come prepared, right?”

“Actually I did not.” Ethan Smith shook his head, and his face grew a bit tense.

He was ready to use his Saint Weapon for a fight-to-death situation.

Seeing Ethan Smith's tense expression, the Williams saintess chuckled.

“I was joking. You don't need to be so serious. The Williams Family never interferes with happenings in the Frostmoon Palace,” saintess said.

Ethan Smith merely nodded without pursuing the reason and continued: “Why hasn't there been any movement from the nine Great Families recently? It's like everything has calmed down.”

“Isn't that a good thing?” The saintess took a sip of her tea and replied.

Ethan Smith frowned and said, “I'm worried that it might be the calm before the storm.”

The Williams saintess didn't answer this question but simply said, “Drink your tea.”

Ethan Smith picked up the cup and finished it in one go, causing a brief, tense silence.

“The Wilson family… surely, they won't give up on the Chaos Grave so easily?” After a while, Ethan Smith was the first to break the silence, inquiring.

The Williams saintess once again poured a cup of tea for Ethan Smith, saying, “Not only the Wilson, no one would easily give up. After all, it's Clayton Schmidt's grave. Its value is equal to an Immortal Emperor's, maybe even more.”

“After all… compared to the long river of time, the Golden Age's arrival is quite short.”

Ethan Smith solemnly added, “Everyone wants to find another way when the dao technique is not allowed?”

“Yes,” the saintess sighed, “But it's incredibly hard. Not to mention finding another way to fuse nine dao techniques, even breaking through to the Reversion Void Stage is a difficult task.”

“Even for gifted beings like Sebastian Taylor and Chad Wilson, it is difficult to achieve, not to mention others. Therefore, the tomb of Clayton Schmidt is more mysterious and valuable.”

Ethan Smith nodded slightly. Sebastian Taylor and Chad Wilson were rare geniuses, but even they couldn't break through to the dao technique during peaceful times, never mind others.

“Williams saintess, do you know much about Clayton Schmidt?” Ethan Smith took a sip of his tea and asked.

The saintess shook her head slightly: “I don't know much about Clayton Schmidt, but I've heard some stories.”

Ethan Smith remained silent, waiting for the continuation of the saintess's words.

The saintess slowly stated: “Clayton Schmidt was a very regrettable talent because he was born in the Degenerate Age.”

“Degenerate Age?” Ethan Smith looked slightly puzzled.

The saintess explained: “Since the period of dao technique explosion exists, then naturally there would be desolate times. For instance, after the Golden Age, the dao technique in the world would fall into a barren state, and slowly recover until it enters the Golden Age again.”

“Unfortunately, Clayton Schmidt was born in the most barren degenerate age. During his previous era, the starry sky was brilliant, the deity was rampant, and the dao technique was used up.”

“In that era, let alone stepping into the Tribulation Stage, merging nine kinds of dao techniques, even stepping into the Reversion Void Stage was almost impossible.”

Ethan Smith's face showed a hint of surprise, he naturally knew how difficult it was to step into the Reversion Void Stage before the Golden Age's arrival.

But Clayton Schmidt stepped into the Tribulation Stage in such a period and wanted to be an unorthodox saint!

This talent was terrifying!

“Clayton Schmidt was great, but he was also lonely.” The saintess shook her head and said.
