"I will be breaking through to the Master Cultivation Level" he revealed, causing them all to be shocked and amazed.
Not because of the cultivation level that he was going to break into, but because of the power and skill he was able to achieve as a mere peak Advanced Cultivator.
It was unbelievable and didn't make sense to them.
Most of them were mid-level Advanced Cultivators and could display the power of a peak Advanced Cultivators, but the leap in power that Adam was able to display was beyond belief.
"How the hell are you only an Advanced Cultivator?"
"Yeah, and how come you have so many abilities and are so much stronger than a normal Advanced Cultivator?"
"And what kind of cultivation methods are you cultivating exactly? It must be difficult to cultivate and train so many weird abilities at once"
They all had so many questions, but Adam merely shrugged and knew that even if he did give them details, they wouldn't understand and also wouldn't be able to comprehend all the different things that happened to him over the past year.
The number of the different summons he had was unbelievable and all of their power was on par with him in terms of cultivation level, while most of them had unique and powerful Special Traits.
A single one of his summons would have been able to easily take down the Lin, Dale and Ford Family Heads along with taking down most, if not all, of their troops.
"Just give me a few days to break through and I didn't break through because I felt danger and a great battle occurring, and also needed a break from cultivating and training non-stop. After that I will return to train you guys, sort out any issues you might have, take you guys to the secret base and also visit Emma and Sarah" said Adam.
As he said that, he could see Cole's expression change slightly, which made it clear that Cole and Emma probably weren't on the best terms, but he still wanted to see them after not seeing them for an entire year.
"There is more to the world than you could ever imagine and you shouldn't be stingy with resources. Be generous with the members of the faction as long as they formed the blood contract as they are completely loyal and are all of great value. However, everything must be earned and the standard salary should be an average amount of money and a small amount of cultivation resources. If one wants more, they must work for it"
"You should also prepare yourself to kill and order members of the faction to get rid of most of the Lin Family Members, who are the scum of the earth and are not accepted in our faction. I built a faction to protect, not to provide power to dirty bastards. Along with that, you must make rules clear from the start and in the blood contract make sure that all members of the faction agree to them"
With those two final reminders, Adam was ready to leave and wanted to tell them one last thing as he could tell that they were overwhelmed and amazed by the progress that he was able to make.
"My master was an incredible man who provided me with a lot and made me the man I am now and he told me that talent gradings do not mean anything and the crystals used to test them aren't always accurate. You must grow stronger as the leaders of the faction and nothing is holding you guys back but yourselves" he stated.
After saying that, he bid them farewell and disappeared from before them, switching into his Soul Form, leaving them all dazed.
What he said wasn't completely true as with a higher talent grading, it was usually much easier to progress, as long as one had the resources, however hard work, dedication and willpower can overcome any obstacles.
Adam stayed a while longer to see what they had to say and what they would do and from what they said and how they acted, their thoughts were made clear.
They felt as though Adam was growing distant and was hiding everything he was feeling, going through and thinking with a smile and jokes, however they knew that if they wanted Adam to be able to rely on them and tell them the truth about himself, they needed to become stronger and more dependable.
With that, they were all determined to get the faction up and going, then continue cultivating and receive instruction from Adam while training in the secret base.
They had so many great things to look forward to and they knew that it was all thanks to Adam all praised him and were determined to progress as they headed back to the city.
Adam was touched by the praise and concern that his friends had for him, but still felt that it was best for them to not get involved with too many matters involving the ancients and things outside their current realm of knowledge.
He needed to give them more time to develop and as long as they truly worked hard, they could all surpass any talent grading that they had been given and Adam also suspected that they all had much more potential than their talent grading gave credit for.
Adam was unable to notice it before as he himself was only a beginner in terms of power and knowledge, however, after observing them, he knew that there was more to them than it seemed.
It must have been fate that drew them together as Adam observed and sensed great things from all of them and all of them were unique and capable in their own ways.
He couldn't explain how he could sense such things in words, but it was as if his instincts could give him an idea of how capable and dangerous someone was, while it would also help him understand what the potential and future of a person would be like.
