“To be honest, I ventured into the depths of Demonia Mountain solely in search of the Demonia Stone,” Jared said with a smile.
Jared was on a quest to select the Demonia Stone, as well as to explore Demon Devouring Cave.
“Could it be that Mr. Chadwick has a friend in need of physical body restoration? Is it the one within you?” Serena asked.
Jared was taken aback, so he asked in a puzzled tone, “Ms. Pruitt, do you also know that this Demonia Stone is used for physical body restoration?”
“Of course, our Soul Demon Sect specializes in the study of souls. The restoration of a divine soul to its physical form is also a subject of our sect’s research. However, Demonia Stones are extremely rare. Only cultivators who have reached the Ultimate Realm or above would use it to reconstruct their physical bodies after they had been destroyed. This is because a physical body rebuilt using the Demonia Stone would be incredibly robust. If the restored physical body is too weak, it might be useless no matter how advanced one’s cultivation level is. It simply can’t withstand that terrifying aura, and there’s a good chance the physical body might even explode. Could it be that your friend is a cultivator of the Ultimate Realm or above?”
When Serena reached this point in her speech, she looked at Jared with eyes full of admiration.
After all, having a friend who had reached the Ultimate Realm or even a higher level of cultivation was something truly worth boasting about.
“Well…”
Jared hesitated for a moment, then gave a bitter smile. “Actually, I don’t even know how strong my friend is. He only told me that he needed the Demonia Stone. And it’s not the friend inside me we’re talking about. The friend inside me is quite weak!”
Jared was still unaware of Whalreth’s true strength. After all, Whalreth was then merely a soul remnant, having possessed someone else’s body. Its power was undoubtedly greatly diminished!
Jared didn’t know how high of a cultivation level Whalreth actually had.
Moreover, Jared also didn’t know about Hadad’s and Baal’s cultivation levels.
However, Jared knew that these fellows, in Ethereal Realm, must have been formidable forces to be reckoned with back in the day. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been suppressed.
Perhaps they were in the Ultimate Realm, or maybe they had even reached the higher realm of the Immortal Realm.
However, Jared always remembered the words once spoken by Baal. A mere glance from his father could reduce Baal to ashes. What could be my father’s cultivation level?
Jared tilted his head back and gazed at the sky, uncertain of when he would be able to ascend to the celestial realm. Perhaps once he reached the celestial realm, he would finally be able to see his father again.
“Mr. Chadwick, the Demonia Stone is a very rare item. Even though we’ve lived deep within Demonia Mountain for many years, we’ve never seen such a stone. However, it’s possible that my master might have some information about it,” Clifford said to Jared.
The implication of Clifford was clear. He wanted Jared to return with them to Soul Demon Sect, where they might be able to find information about the Demonia Stone.
Jared was well aware that wandering aimlessly in the depths of Demonia Mountain, it was virtually impossible to find the Demonia Stone. He couldn’t even locate Demon Devouring Cave.
One must be guided by those familiar to them, so he nodded in agreement, consenting to follow Serena and Clifford back to Soul Demon Sect.
Just like that, Jared followed Serena and Clifford toward the direction of Soul Demon Sect.
In reality, Jared was unaware that Demon Devouring Cave was merely a few hundred kilometers away from their current location. It wouldn’t even take a day’s time to reach it.
At this point in time, deep within Demon Devouring Cave, the bodies of over a dozen Demonic Cultivators were laid out on the ground. The attire of these Demonic Cultivators was surprisingly identical to that of Serena and Clifford, suggesting that they were likely disciples of Soul Demon Sect as well.
Billowing black mist swirled around those dozen or so corpses, and waves of death energy emanated from the corpse.
Skylar sat stoically in front of these corpses, suddenly opening his mouth. The strands of death energy were continuously being absorbed into his body.
Cameron and Pablo were watching from both sides.
The expressions on their faces were distinctly different.
