Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 2054

Chapter 2054: Chapter 2054: Growth of the Bodhi Ancient Tree_1 Chapter 2054: Chapter 2054: Growth of the Bodhi Ancient Tree_1 Ethan Smith sighed, “Indeed, in an era where reaching the Reversion Void Stage was impossible, he stepped into that realm. I'm afraid no one in the entire universe could compete with him.”

Such a genius was undoubtedly lonely, unable to even find an opponent.

“If he were born in the Golden Age, no one knows what realm he would have reached.” Ethan Smith sighed.

What was even more frightening was that Clayton Schmidt possessed a chaotic body.

Once the chaotic body reached the Immortal Emperor strength, who could compare with him?

“That's why no one wants to give up on Clayton Schmidt's Chaos Grave.” Williams Saintess laughed as she poured tea.

At this point, Williams Saintess suddenly changed the subject, continuing, “Haven't you always wanted to ask why the nine aristocratic families are taking their time with their plans?”

Ethan Smith hummed, waiting for the saintess to elaborate.

Williams Saintess laughed, “I heard a piece of news that the nine aristocratic families will soon invite people from all over the world to a grand gathering, aimed at exploring the Chaos Grave.”

Ethan Smith frowned, “A gathering? What's the point of such a gathering? Are they trying to gather ideas? If the nine families can't figure it out, what is the use of everyone else participating?”

“That may not be the case.” Williams Saintess laughed.

“It is said that many powerful rogue cultivators have been invited to this gathering.”

Ethan Smith fell silent for a moment before saying, “It seems the nine aristocratic families want to gather everyone with capabilities to explore the Chaos Grave together.”

“That's right, like your friend with the mustache who predicted the expansion of the Chaos Grave last time. It proves that there are many powerful and mysterious rogue cultivators in the world who might foresee something.” Williams Saintess said.

Ethan Smith couldn't help but feel a bit awkward mentioning the man with the mustache.

Williams Saintess and the man with the mustache didn't get along, and if she found out his true identity, she would probably kick Ethan Smith out of Frostmoon Palace.

“When will the gathering be held?” Ethan Smith asked.

Williams Saintess smiled, “What, Mr. Smith wants to participate too? If you appear at the gathering, you might not be able to leave.”

Ethan Smith hesitated for a moment, seeming to struggle with whether or not to tell Williams Saintess the truth.

Ultimately, Ethan sighed, “I have no choice. I want to know the secrets of the Chaos Grave. You know I have my special reasons.”

“Because of Saintess Taylor?” Williams Saintess raised her eyebrows.

Ethan Smith nodded, “That's right.”

Following that, Ethan tentatively asked, “Williams Saintess, do you think the nine aristocratic families have already deduced something?”

Hearing his question, Williams Saintess couldn't help but pout, “Mr. Smith, I'm truly hurt that you're trying to pry information out of me like this.”

Ethan Smith coughed and hurriedly said, “If Williams Saintess has any secrets that are difficult to reveal, please pretend I didn't ask.”

Williams Saintess half-jokingly and half-seriously said, “It's not a secret, so it's alright to tell you. However, I'm surprised Mr. Smith treats me like an outsider and tries to interrogate me in this way. I've always considered you as…”

She didn't finish her sentence, but the ambiguity was apparent.

Ethan Smith wasn't a fool. He knew Williams Saintess was deliberately teasing him.

Given her status, what man couldn't she find in this world? Why would she be interested in Ethan Smith?

So, Ethan purposefully said, “What did you consider me as? The father of the Bodhi ancient tree? You're the mother of the Bodhi ancient tree? In that case, you better protect me well, considering our extraordinary relationship.”

As expected, upon hearing Ethan's words, Williams Saintess immediately became more serious, not daring to tease him anymore.

“You women always weaken our strong and strengthen our weak,” Ethan Smith bitter smile.

Williams Saintess coughed lightly and continued, “The nine aristocratic families indeed deduced something. It is said that Clayton Schmidt had two followers, and after his death, they guarded his tomb for twenty thousand years.”

As soon as she said this, Ethan's face changed slightly.

Forcing down his excitement, he asked, “Twenty thousand years? Weren't those two followers at the Tribulation Transcending Realm as well?”

“That's right, two old tribulation transcending cultivators who survived from the last Golden Age.” Williams Saintess replied.

Ethan Smith frowned, looking at Williams Saintess, and said, “Something doesn't seem right. If Clayton Schmidt was so powerful, why would his lifespan be shorter than other cultivators of the tribulation stage? Especially considering those two survived from the last Golden Age?”

Williams Saintess smiled, “Mr. Smith, your thinking is indeed sharp, noticing the problem right away.”

Ethan remained silent, waiting for Williams Saintess to continue.

Williams Saintess poured herself a cup of tea and said, “There are two rumors about this matter.”

“The first rumor says Clayton Schmidt forcibly violated the Path of Heaven, assimilating nine dao techniques, leading to a short lifespan. The fusion of these nine dao techniques left him with a wound that caused his early demise.”

“The second rumor is that after Clayton Schmidt merged the nine dao techniques, he went traveling through the starry sky. The Chaos Grave he left behind was just one of his avatars. Both rumors are debated endlessly, but more people believe in the first one.”

Ethan Smith touched his chin, considering the possibilities.

As long as one didn't reach the strength of an Immortal Emperor, it would be impossible to create one's own dao technique, and violating the Path of Heaven would leave a wound.

Ethan Smith tentatively asked, “So, to enter the Chaos Grave, we need the bodies of those two followers?”

Williams Saintess was surprised, “How did you know?”

“Just a wild guess,” Ethan replied, lacking confidence.

Not giving it much thought, Williams Saintess nodded and said, “One theory is that to enter the Chaos Grave, one needs their supreme bones. Otherwise, even with a Tribulation Stage magical artifact, it would be practically impossible to survive.”

Hearing this, Ethan became extremely excited.

Those so-called supreme bones were none other than the two skeletal remains he had acquired, right?!

“As long as I have the supreme bones, I can successfully retrieve Clayton Schmidt's hidden treasures…” Ethan Smith murmured.

Williams Saintess shook her head, “That's just conjecture and doesn't hold up under scrutiny, which is why the grand gathering is being held.”

“Of course, even if the conjecture is true, other magical artifacts are still needed as assistance.”

Ethan Smith nodded repeatedly, eagerly asking, “When will the gathering be held? I want to participate as well.”

Williams Saintess replied, “The specific time has not yet been set, but I expect you will hear about it as it's a public gathering.”

“Alright, thank you!” Ethan Smith stood up and turned to leave.

“Mr. Smith, don't you plan to visit our Bodhi ancient tree?” At that moment, Williams Saintess asked leisurely.

Ethan waved his hand, “There's no need. The growth of the Bodhi ancient tree is extremely slow. Right now, it probably hasn't even sprouted.”

“That may not be the case.” Williams Saintess said faintly.
