Adrian and the Secrets of the Immortal World Chapter 5

Nathaniel Mu bowed his head and saluted: "The Pavilion Master is fine, Daojun, don't worry."

Adrian Bai didn't want to listen to the two people talking any more: "Let's go."

The dark sea water cannot reflect the moonlight, and there is no ripples when the night wind blows.

Gabriel Xiang looked at the sea water below with some disdain: "The water in this Endless Sea is really weird, so I never eat anything fished out of the Endless Sea."

The small island on the sea was also glowing with golden light at night. The three of them ran straight to the island and realized something was wrong after a while.

"This island doesn't look far from the shore. We've been traveling on the sea for so long, but why does it still look as far away as it did at the beginning?" Gabriel Xiang looked around and didn't find anything strange. Instead, he noticed other cultivators on the sea trying to get close to the island. "There are quite a few people. It seems they are all trapped here."

Adrian Bai also stopped and looked at the island in the distance. After observing for a while, he found a hidden clue: "There is a formation to prevent outsiders from approaching."

Gabriel Xiang was suspicious: "Then how did Yajyoutian get close last night?"

Nathaniel Mu answered his doubts: "The one last night was a formation master from the eighth heaven."

Gabriel Xiang understood: "No wonder."

He felt a little regretful: "I should have brought Zhuiyu with me this time."

Adrian Bai was still observing the surroundings. In the daytime, it was just a ball of golden light, but at night, one could see the traces of the spiritual energy flowing.

Feeling the subtle fluctuations of spiritual energy around him, Adrian Bai determined the scope of the formation.

He looked back at the Canshi City lurking in the darkness behind him, and couldn't help but be surprised for a moment.

This formation actually encompasses the entire Canshi City.

Even Sebastian Song, who is known as the best formation master in Shangqingchuan, probably cannot do such a thing.

Adrian Bai said to Gabriel Xiang, "Come back when the time in the letter is up."

Gabriel Xiang didn't understand formations, but he knew how powerful they were. The more powerful the formation master, the more powerful the formation he set up.

Since the people on the island have already sent a letter inviting them to go to the island in a few days, there is no need to rush.

After leaving the Endless Sea, Adrian Bai went straight back to the main city.

Gabriel Xiang was stunned when he heard this: "So urgent? Doesn't the Immortal Questioning Conference start at noon tomorrow?"

Ever since the strange phenomenon appeared above the main city, Adrian Bai’s urge to rush back to the main city has become stronger and stronger.

He didn't show it on his face, but just said, "I'm used to my own bed, I can't sleep outside."

Gabriel Xiang was speechless: "You have already reached the ninth level of the heaven, is it so important to get some sleep?"

Adrian Bai didn't bother to pay attention to him. He took Nathaniel Mu and flew towards the main city, returning to Fifty Steps Tianxia Pavilion overnight.

Nowadays, all the major sects in Shangqingchuan are located near the main city.

Adrian Bai's Fifty Steps World Pavilion is located in the center of the main city.

It is only two streets away from Evergreen Tower, where the Questioning Immortals Conference is held.

The Asking Immortals Conference is considered the most important event in the world of cultivation. The last Asking Immortals Conference was held ten years ago. This time, preparations have also been started early. Six months ago, everyone in Evergreen Tower began preparing for the Asking Immortals Conference.

Adrian Bai returned to the main city early in the morning, passed by his own Fifty Steps Tianxia Pavilion, and went directly to Evergreen Tower with Nathaniel Mu.

Evergreen Tower was jointly founded by all the sects in Shangqingchuan and has a history of nearly a thousand years.

The tower rises straight into the clouds, facing the equally towering Fifty Steps Tianxia Pavilion across the way.

The cultivators in the tower saw Adrian Bai coming in as if they were facing a great enemy. A steward from upstairs ran down to greet him, wiping his sweat and saying with a smile: "Master Bai came early today. The tower master and the other leaders haven't arrived yet."

Adrian Bai glanced at him and said, "I am doing my own thing. It's none of their business."

The steward smiled apologetically: "Master Bai is right. As long as you want to come, the door of Evergreen Tower is always open for you."

Adrian Bai looked around and saw that everyone in the tower was busy. He said slowly, "So busy?"

Since I know why you come here to cause trouble!

The steward secretly complained in his heart, but still had an impeccable smile on his round face: "Everyone is busy making final preparations for the afternoon's Asking Immortals Conference."

Adrian Bai raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Since I'm here, I'll help you a little."

The steward was stunned: "What does Pavilion Master Bai mean...?"

Adrian Bai sat down and stretched out his hand to the steward: "Bring out all the account books of Evergreen Tower."

The steward lowered his head and said respectfully: "Master, the account book in the tower is very important. The master said that it is not allowed to---"

Adrian Bai's eyes were filled with impatience, and he raised his hand to stop him from saying the next thing: "Do you think I'm discussing this with you?"

The butler's back was covered with sweat, and he said in a trembling voice: "Master Bai, this is really against the rules."

Adrian Bai raised his eyebrows: "What rules?"

The steward said anxiously, "The tower master said that the account book cannot be shown to anyone except him."

Adrian Bai asked: "Sebastian Song has been the tower master for nearly a thousand years, right?"

When the steward heard him address the tower master by his name, he became even more nervous. He smiled awkwardly and replied, "That's right."

Adrian Bai's eyes showed some mockery: "Sebastian Song's rule is interesting. Evergreen Tower was jointly established by many families, and the funds came from major sects. Since Fifty Steps Tianxia Pavilion has paid for it, it doesn't even look at where the money went. It's really ridiculous."

The steward had no way of refutation and could only stand by awkwardly.

Adrian Bai looked at the trembling manager, and the words he said almost made his heart stop beating.

"Such an unreasonable rule can be established. I think it's time to change the position of the tower master."

When the steward heard this, his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He could no longer force a smile on his face and said dryly, "Master Bai, please be careful with what you say!"

Adrian Bai stood up and said before leaving: "Tell Sebastian Song what I just said. If he can't give me a satisfactory explanation at the Asking Immortal Conference, I will naturally find a way to find a rule that can read the account book."

The anger from a sleepless night had mostly dissipated after coming out of Evergreen Tower. Adrian Bai brought Nathaniel Mu back to Fifty Steps Tianxia Pavilion and told him to investigate the strange phenomenon that occurred in the sky above the main city yesterday evening.
