Chapter 458 - Impressive

Crawling over to Adam, the Silent Ghost begged him to help him become stronger and Nathaniel didn't do anything, interested to see how everything would pan out and also intrigued by Adam mentioning some sort of special physique.

"You could feel that your body was innately talented and more suited towards stealth and speed, but you didn't truly grasp the essence of what your body was capable of. You are already too old now and spent your entire life developing quite a good movement skill, but you still didn't fully understand the essence of stealth,"

"You focused too much on the speed element and disappearing to others, that you didn't realise that you had to forget about such things and become one with your surroundings. Only by doing so can you truly grasp your power, but I don't think you will be able to do so."

Adam's revelation made sense to the old man who had felt that there was something missing his entire life while training.

He had always been chasing something and the sect he was in had recognised his body's potential and talent, but he was never able to tap into it and just like Adam had said, he was too old to think about making any substantial progress.

His cultivation and physical strength had already begun declining, and he knew that he had a few years left of his life at most.

"Thank you, Adam. Your words have granted me peace and I can die happy, knowing what I have been searching for my whole life,"

"How long exactly did it take your friend to master the physique you have mentioned?" asked Nathaniel who was impressed by the existence of such a physique.

There were many concealment methods and skills, but being able to become one with one's surroundings was a priceless ability that was perfect for assassinations.

If he had known that the old man had such potential he would have cultivated him more, however, he had never been able to draw out his potential.

"A few years and he is still mastering it, but his progress is beginning to slow down," answered Adam.

"Oh, is that so? What an amazing young talent,"

Learning to use such an ability within a few years was already impressive, and if it were known that Cole had been able to do so within the matter of a week, he would be sought out by all the powerful cultivators to take him as a disciple or eliminate a possible threat.

The progress that Adam's friends had made in the past week was unbelievable and was thanks to Adam, but mostly their own hard work and the hidden talent within them.

Their flight to their destination was reaching an end and Adam and Nathaniel spoke for a while longer before preparing themselves for the landing.

The only things they seemed to be able to agree on was their dislike for the ancients and Blood Moon Group, but Adam trusted his instincts and they were warning him about Nathaniel.

"Brace yourself for the landing. They can be quite difficult to handle," warned Nathaniel.

It was just as he said and even as a Master Cultivator with an extremely powerful and durable body, Adam could feel the effects of their abrupt landing.

Although there weren't any windows, Adam could estimate the speed they were moving it along with the direction, then using his knowledge of the country's layout, he estimated they were in Alaska.

From the cold environment and because he knew they were heading to one of the secret main bases of the US Cultivator Defence, it was clear that they were in the mountains.

The harsh environment and scarce air made it so that there would be almost nobody daring to even get near their secret base, while it also gave them a lot of space to build a base within the mountains and underground.

Along with that, the snow was natural concealment for all the traps, arrays and other things that they had around their base.

Landing on a secret airstrip, as soon as they did, Adam could feel the ground that the jet had landed on being to sink downwards.

"We have arrived," said Nathaniel as he stood up. 

A few seconds later, the jet's door opened and Adam was amazed by what he saw.

Adam knew that most of the advanced technology was concealed and that there was much more to the world than what ordinary people believed to be the case, but he never expected that technology could be so developed.

The jet was impressive enough, and yet the entire facility was built with some material that Adam had never come across before and it was able to block his spiritual sense.

Along with that, he could sense all sorts of arrays all over the place and after learning and studying arrays, he knew just how high level they were and how impressive it was that they were able to integrate them into the advanced technology.

It felt more like an underground fortress than a base and despite only being there for a few seconds, he had seen dozens of individuals pass by him.

Nathaniel appeared even more frightening to Adam after seeing everything that was in his control and possession, while he could sense that most that were in the facility were at least Master Cultivators.

That meant that the Silent Ghost that he had used to get him wasn't anyone special and he had only used him because of his connection to Cole.

With that much power at his beck and call, Nathaniel could destroy entire countries in seconds, and yet Adam knew that there were still powers that greatly surpassed his, which included the ancients.

"Quite an impressive base, right?" said Nathaniel.

"Yes, it is. Why don't you show me more of it since we are friends and I am trying to understand more of what the US Cultivator Defence actually is,"

Hearing Adam's response, Nathaniel smiled and answered: "Gladly."
