The orbin Jared’s hand emitted a dazzling light, and the winds around the spirit ship started spinning, eventually forming a tornado.
However, no winds blew at the center of the tornado. The spirit ship remained calmly within the center of the tornado, and not even a ripple appeared on the surface of the Night Sea.
Everyone was stunned by the scene before their eyes. At that moment, they finally believed that the item in Jared’s hand was the Stillwind Orb.
Jared himself, too, was somewhat surprised. He had not expected that the seemingly unremarkable pearl would possess such power. It seemed that the incident with the waterspout earlier was caused by the Stillwind Orb.
No one else except that divine turtle had been aware of that fact. That was why it swam into the center of the tornado to bring the orb to Jared.
While Jared was examining the Stillwind Orb, he noticed that the light within it began to flicker slowly, and the hurricane surrounding them transformed into tiny streams of wind before being continuously absorbed by the orb..
In just over ten minutes, the turbulent sea that had been raging with fierce winds returned to calm. Even the raging hurricane had been entirely absorbed by the tiny Stillwind Orb.
Jared examined the orb closely and noticed that the sound of the wind within it had become more distinct.
At that moment, Jared’s excitement surged as he could sense the aura of wind within the Stillwind Orb. The prospect of wielding the orb’s power and understanding wind nascence presented an extraordinary opportunity.
However, Jared wisely chose not to outwardly display his excitement. The more enthusiastic he appeared, the more envy it would ignite among those around him. Envy could easily turn into resentment, and he had no desire to become the target of jealousy.
“It truly is the Stillwind Orb! Inside that orb must be a significant amount of wind aura. If someone who practices wind-based cultivation techniques obtains it, their strength could potentially double!” someone explained.
“Wow, I’m so jealous right now.” The eyes of many cultivators were filled with longing and envy, with some even showing hints of greed.
After all, the Stillwind Orb was an ancient sacred item of immeasurable value. Furthermore, the aura of wind within the orb was also one of the most sought-after among all intangible auras.
Seeing the covetous and envious glances from
the other cultivators, Quinley felt uneasy and
gently pulled on Jared’s sleeve, whispering, “Jared, we should go now…” Quinley feared that if they lingered any longer, those cultivators might become desperate and resort to any means to seize the Stillwind Orb.
“Would you consider parting with the Stillwind Orb?” Fayzon asked, stepping in front of Jared just as he was about to leave. “I noticed that you aren’t practicing wind-based techniques, so you wouldn’t be able to maximize the orb’s potential. I, on the other hand, specialize in wind-based cultivation, and if you were to entrust me with the Stillwind Orb, you can name your price. Additionally, the Demon Seal Alliance would owe you a lifelong favor.”
Behind Fayzon were about a dozen crew members dressed in robes of eight trigrams. As the crowd learned that Fayzon had his eyes on the Stillwind Orb, they began to step back, and the atmosphere at the scene underwent a drastic change.
After all, Fayzon was the head of a subbranch. of the Demon Seal Alliance, and if he desired the Stillwind Orb, others would undoubtedly have no chance. However, Fayzon’s words also made many cultivators look at Jared with envy.
A favor from the Demon Seal Alliance was absolutely priceless. Everyone knew how powerful the Demon Seal Alliance was in the entire Ethereal Realm.
Even some of the so-called elite sects were no match for them. As Fayzon was the head of a subbranch of the Demon Seal Alliance, his words carried a lot of weight within the alliance, so his promise was highly valued.
Although the Stillwind Orb was priceless, it would not provide much benefit to those who did not practice wind-based techniques.
