The sleek Maserati came to a halt, and the crowd’s curiosity reached its peak. The door swung open, and out stepped a striking woman in a sharp, tailored suit. Stacey Gold. The assistant to the Supreme General.

Gasps rippled through the Armand family. What was she doing here? Why would someone of her stature associate with Adam?

“Stacey Gold?” Henry blurted, his voice laced with disbelief. He stepped forward, trying to maintain composure. “This must be a misunderstanding. Surely, someone of your position has no business here. Let’s not waste your time on trivial matters.”

Stacey didn’t even glance at him. Instead, she strode purposefully toward Adam, holding a thick stack of cash in her hands.

Henry reached out, desperate to intercept her. “Ms. Gold, please, let’s talk—”

The sharp crack of Stacey’s palm meeting his cheek echoed through the air, silencing him. Henry staggered back, clutching his face in shock.

“Know your place,” Stacey said coldly. Her icy gaze bore into Henry, making

    An hour later, a thick, sweet fragrance slowly seeped out from the alchemy pot, filling the secret room with a rich, intoxicating aroma. The scent was warm and mellow, carrying a faint medicinal sweetness that lingered in the air.Adam inhaled deeply.Just that single breath made his spirit feel refreshed, as though fatigue and impurities were being washed away. Even before opening the pot, he could sense a subtle vibration within his body—his divine energy was reacting on its own.He waited patiently, eyes fixed on the alchemy pot, until the timing was perfect.Only then did he lift the lid.A surge of rich fragrance burst forth, flooding the room in an instant. The smell was not only pleasant—it was stimulating. Adam felt his divine energy stir violently, circulating faster without any conscious effort on his part.If merely smelling the pills could trigger such a reaction, one could only imagine how terrifying their effects would be once consumed.Adam reached into the alchemy pot

    Moments later, Adam carefully lifted the piece of metal from the surface of the Divine Code.At first glance, it looked ordinary—dull, cold, and unremarkable. But as he angled it toward the light, faint symbols shimmered into existence. Lines of extremely fine text crawled across the metal like living threads, so tiny that they were invisible to the naked eye.Adam quickly retrieved a magnifying glass and leaned closer.His pupils shrank.His breathing hitched.“The Divine Code… really does contain the techniques for the second transformation!” he exclaimed, unable to suppress the surge of excitement coursing through him.For the first time since the auction, his heart truly settled.The Eternal Rebirth Codex consisted of nine chapters, each one corresponding to a terrifyingly difficult transformation. Adam had already completed the first. But without the second, his cultivation path would come to a grinding halt. No matter how much spiritual energy he accumulated or how many pills he

    Bruce let out a long sigh when he heard that Adam had won the bid for the Divine Code. His expression was complicated—part regret, part helplessness—but the deal was already done. No matter what he thought, there was nothing more to say.After a brief silence, Adam spoke, his tone calm but respectful.“Mr. Sanders, I need to refine some pills. May I borrow your secret cultivation room?”Bruce looked at him in mild surprise before nodding without hesitation. “Of course. Use it as you see fit.”Leah and Harvey exchanged looks of disbelief. That secret room was Bruce’s private sanctuary, a place even his own children were rarely allowed to enter. Yet Adam had been granted access without a second thought.“Thank you, Mr. Sanders,” Adam said sincerely.Not long after, Adam returned to the hotel and gathered a large bundle of medicinal herbs. Each stalk, root, and leaf had been carefully selected—high-grade materials meant only for serious pill refinement. The century-old dragon root was th

    After years of painstaking study, not a single person on Cosmic Island had managed to decipher the Divine Code. Generation after generation of experts—grandmasters, scholars, alchemists, and even reclusive geniuses—had exhausted every method they could think of. In the end, all they gained was frustration.Slowly, doubt began to creep in.Was the rumor exaggerated?Did the Divine Code truly contain any secret at all?Some even dared to speculate that the so-called “supreme treasure” was nothing more than an ancient relic wrapped in layers of myth. That doubt was precisely why the Four Great Immortal Sects ultimately agreed to auction it. To them, an undecipherable script was no longer a treasure—just a burden.Unfortunately for Leah, Adam had just spent more than ten billion dollars on that burden.The moment the auction ended, whispers filled the hall.“So that’s Leah Sanders’ fiancé? He’s rich, sure, but clearly not very bright.”“Ten billion for a useless script? What a fool.”“Mon

    Dante instantly broke out in a cold sweat.“Mr. Manchester, you can’t counterbid anymore,” he whispered urgently, his voice trembling. “I’m almost certain the bidder in Lounge No. 1 is from the Sultan family. If you offend them, the consequences will be unimaginable.”Ese nodded anxiously, his face pale. “Dad is right. You may have the Sanders family backing you, but the Sultan family is on nearly equal footing with them. Cosmo Island has always been isolated from the outside world—unless you plan to stay here forever, it’s best not to provoke the Sultans.”Adam heard every word clearly.He understood the risks better than anyone. The Sultan family was a colossal force, standing just beneath the Four Great Immortal Sects. Even the Supreme Nexus he had founded was insignificant compared to such a behemoth.But this wasn’t about pride or impulse.The Divine Code was something he needed.Not wanted—needed.Without it, his cultivation path would stall completely. With it, he might break t

    Dante and Ese could only stare at Adam in disbelief.Neither of them had expected him to step into the bidding war so abruptly—much less challenge Lounge No. 1 head-on. The calm, composed man they knew suddenly looked like someone ready to burn entire fortunes without hesitation.Whispers erupted around them almost instantly.“That guy… he’s insanely rich.”“No wonder the Sanders family chose him as their son-in-law.”“Still, what a waste. The Divine Code is useless if you can’t decode it,” someone sneered bitterly. “Spending billions on a dead script? That’s the behavior of a reckless spendthrift.”Others nodded, though the jealousy in their eyes was impossible to hide. After all, it was easy to criticize when they couldn’t afford to participate.Before Leah could even announce Adam’s bid properly, a cold voice rang out from Lounge No. 1.“Seven billion dollars.”The counter came sharp and decisive, crushing any illusion that Adam’s challenge would go unanswered.Without the slightes
