Great Diviner sized Jared up, hoping to unravel the mysteries that revolved around him. However, he failed to glean any insight from Jared’s demeanor.
“Mr. Chance, Master Diviner possesses the ability to unveil the past and the future. He wishes to find out who you truly are…” Matthew said while looking in Jared’s direction. “Great. I wish to know who I truly am too!” Jared responded with a faint smile.
He had long yearned to uncover the enigma of his father’s identity, and if this purported Great Diviner could provide any answers, it would be truly remarkable. Yet, from the looks of it, Jared did not seem to have faith in him.
Even the formidable blood demon himself turned pale and fell into stunned silence upon discovering my true identity. I highly doubt this so-called Great Diviner can unravel anything of significance!
“Master Diviner, Mr. Chance has graciously given you the consent to proceed,” Matthew said, shifting his gaze to Great Diviner. Matthew was genuinely curious about Jared’s identity. When the Generation Stone exploded, all Matthew could discern was that Jared was no ordinary individual, but he remained clueless. about his true identity.
“Very well.” Great Diviner nodded, then retrieved three copper coins. Muttering an incantation under his breath, Great Diviner tossed the three coins into the air, and they instantly emitted a dazzling golden light.
The three coins floated above Jared’s head, arranging themselves in a pyramid formation and emitting a luminous glow that enveloped him. Jared remained seated calmly, a faint smile gracing his lips.
Great Diviner closed his eyes, his fingers moving swiftly as he murmured unintelligible words. Soon, the three coins began to tremble, and Great Diviner’s expression changed. Perspiration dotted Great Diviner’s forehead, and his body started shaking.
Boom! Suddenly, there was an explosion. The three copper coins on Jared’s exploded into powder. Great Diviner spewed a mouthful of blood, and his aura became extremely weak.
With wide eyes, he looked at Jared in terror and slowly fell to his knees. Matthew, observing Great Diviner’s distressed state, was taken aback. “Master Diviner, are you able to discern Jared’s identity?”
Great Diviner shook his head. “I was forbidden from delving into Jared’s identity. I only took a little peek, and the backlash was so severe that it nearly claimed my life… I’m sorry for my disrespect, Mr. Chance. Please forgive me,” he -humbly begged for forgiveness, still kneeling before Jared.
Matthew was equally astonished. Thankfully, he had only used the Generation Stone to investigate Jared’s identity. He might have put his own life in jeopardy had he done it directly.
“Get up,” Jared said in a calm voice. Great Diviner rose to his feet tremblingly. In the presence of Jared, he felt like a rat facing a hunting cat. “You managed to find your way here. How about the others?” asked Jared while looking at Great Diviner.
“They’re completely unaware. I didn’t divulge anything to them. I can no longer tolerate those individuals who have forsaken their principles to collaborate with Demonic Cultivators. That’s why I covertly left, bringing my own trusted comrades. Henceforth, I pledge my unwavering loyalty to you, Mr. Chance. If anyone were to show you disrespect, I’d be the first to teach them a lesson.” Great Diviner quickly distanced himself from Wrey and the others.
“If that’s the case, we should stay here for a couple more days until Mr. Campbell has recovered, Jared said flatly.
“I’ll follow your arrangements, Mr. Chance.” Great Diviner nodded. With Great Diviner on board, Jared had fewer concerns. Great Diviner and his team took care of herb gathering and daily necessities, lightening Jared’s load significantly.
This allowed Jared to have more time for cultivation, and with abundant resources, his strength improved rapidly. After approximately a week, when Matthew’s body had fully healed, Jared took the lead and guided the group to resume their journey.
During this time, the elderly man residing within Jared’s body had been nagging him incessantly day after day, growing more and more impatient with each passing moment. Jared, too, was running out of patience..
