“Hurry up and wake up, Jared! Please be safe!” Emily held the jade pendant Jared once gifted her in her hand, her eyes brimming with hope. She hoped that the man would regain consciousness soon. If he failed to pull through, she would be forever haunted by quilt since he was the one who saved her.
As she was clutching the jade pendant and praying for him to wake up the Power of Dragons and Phoenixes he sealed in the jade. pendant drifted out and entered his body. The Power of Dragons and Phoenixes gave his crumbling body a shred of energy, and Jared slowly opened his eyes.
“Where am I?” When he did so, he found his mind all fuzzy and his limbs weak. He wanted to sit up, but the instant he exerted force, excruciating pain coursed through his entire body.
There was no energy left in his body, and his limbs seemingly refused to obey his wishes. Staring at the old ceiling, he realized that he was currently in a room.
At the side, Emily threw herself at him in delight. upon seeing that he had opened his eyes. Looking at him joyfully, she gushed, “You’re awake, Jared? You’re finally awake!”
Jared eyed the girl in front of him, utterly bewildered. He did not quite remember her anymore, having a vague impression of things. back when he left Rock Village because he felt that he would never have anything more to do with that small mountain village.
“Do you not remember me anymore, Jared? I’m Emily! This is Rock Village,” Emily hurriedly added when she glimpsed the lost look on his face. It was only then that the memories came back to Jared. He subsequently asked in confusion, “Why… Why am I here, Emily?”
All he remembered was being carried away by an immense suction force, followed by Feenix, Josephine, and the others’ shouts as they gave chase behind him.
He had not known that the black hole was a portal to Ethereal Realm, but from the look of things at present, he reckoned he was already. in Ethereal Realm.
“You were severely injured, Jared. Me, Ali, and a few others found you when we were out hunting, so we brought you back with us. You’d been unconscious for three days and nights. I was so worried that you wouldn’t wake up!” Emily explained.
By then, Jared sensed that he had a smidge of energy. With Emily’s support, he sat up from the bed, still in a daze. He carefully recalled everything he could remember. There was the restoration of spiritual energy, Divine Quest Sect, then Mr. Sanders’ disappearance…
“Oh yes, Divine Bow! Where’s my Divine Bow?” Out of the blue, it occurred to him that he had not had the time to put Divine Bow into his Storage Ring before he passed out. Now that I’m in Ethereal Realm, where’s Divine Bow?
That was a divine weapon, and without it, he would have no way of stopping Rudy. Although his capabilities were inferior, resulting in Divine Bow failing to injure Rudy, countless arrows hindered the latter’s steps. Consequently, Arthur succeeded in thwarting the resurrection of the man in the coffin.
When Emily heard that question, she knew. Jared was looking for his weapon. She quickly queried, “Are you looking for your weapon, Jared? I’ve hid it for you. I’ll go and get it right away!”
While saying that, she hastened away to take Divine Bow out and return it to the man. Unexpectedly, Ira blocked her path when she had just reached the door. “Jared is awake, Grandma! I’ll go and take his weapon over!” Emily exclaimed happily.
“Leave the bow where it is first, Emily. Go out for a moment. I’ve got something to ask him,” Ira ordered. Hearing that, Emily promptly grew chagrined. It’s his weapon. Why isn’t he allowed to have it when he’s asking for it? Following her inaction, Ira’s expression instantly went cold, and she snapped, “Go out!”
That reprimand made Emily jump in fright. In the next second, tears streamed down her face.
