“Who do you think you are, demanding our leader to meet with you? If our leader were to come, you’d surely be doomed!”
Yuliya was angrily reprimanding Jared.
“Since you won’t ask her to come here, I’ll personally go and settle the score with her…” Jared said, preparing to head toward the inner court.
Jared couldn’t hold it in because the holy maiden of Lunarius Palace used his women to lure him within the illusion array.
Even if it was all a sham, Jared felt as though he had been cuckolded.
“Halt!” Yuliya stopped Jared in his tracks.
Jared’s brows furrowed as he said, “What’s this? I walked in here myself. Are you planning to kick me out now? Doesn’t Lunarius Palace always abide by the rules?”
Jared raised his voice on purpose, emphasizing the importance of adhering to rules. After all, Yuliya was known for her straightforwardness, especially when it came to Keiran queuing up. However, things took a turn when Keiran presented an elder’s token, leaving Yuliya with no choice but to comply.
“Of course, we at Lunarius Palace adhere to our rules. Since you’ve managed to penetrate the illusion array and find your way here, rest assured, we won’t cast you out. You could also choose a female cultivator you fancy here, then win her over through challenges, forming a spiritual bond! However, if you wish to enter the inner court, you must endure a test. It’s not just you, even the cultivators I brought along must go through the same trial to gain access to the inner court!
Given the unique circumstances this time around, a test is indeed necessary. However, once the test is passed, a grand opportunity awaits in the future. Once the test is passed, not only could one win the heart of the beauty but also journey together to the polar region. They could explore the immortal’s tomb, and if luck is on their side, they might even find a celestial weapon,” Yuliya said to Jared.
Even though Yuliya was furious at Jared for destroying the arcane arrays of Lunarius Palace, she didn’t overly trouble Jared.
Instead, she meticulously explained the rules of Lunarius Palace.
As for the matter of the arcane arrays being destroyed, it was up to the head of Lunarius Palace to decide. It was certainly not something a minor receptionist like her could handle.
Upon hearing this, Jared immediately shook his head and said, “I’m not here to find a partner, nor to win the heart of a beauty, and I certainly have no interest in joining any expedition to the polar region. I simply wish to meet your leader. That’s all!”
Jared was there to seek Demonia Stone instead of a partner.
Moreover, Jared was never short of women. Each one of them was as beautiful as a goddess. If he desired a woman, they would eagerly throw themselves at him. There was no need for him to endure any tests.
As for that journey to the polar region to search for the immortal’s tomb and whatever celestial weapon could be obtained, Jared was even less interested.
He had no shortage of divine weapons in his hands. He didn’t need any celestial weapons.
Yuliya stared blankly at Jared, utterly puzzled. She couldn’t comprehend why Jared had gone through the trouble of breaking through the illusion array, and he didn’t do it to seek a partner or for a journey to the polar region. It was simply to meet the head of Lunarius Palace.
It was important to note that those young cultivators who visited Lunarius Palace over the years were primarily in search of a partner. Of course, a portion of them had also heard about Lunarius Palace’s expedition to the polar region and had specifically gone for that.
Yet, Jared was neither of these. He had simply wanted to catch a glimpse of the head of Lunarius Palace, so he ventured into the palace. That was quite unconventional.
“You have to pass a test if you want to meet the head of Lunarius Palace. Otherwise, it’s simply impossible to reach the inner court!” Yuliya said to Jared.
Seeing the situation, Jared could only respond helplessly, “Fine. How do you plan to test me? Please hurry. My time is very precious…”
Upon seeing that Jared didn’t take the test of Lunarius Palace seriously, Yuliya said in an icy tone, “Don’t get ahead of yourself just because you’ve managed to pass through Lunarius Palace’s illusion array. I’m telling you that your success might just be down to good luck. After all, the illusion array is designed to bewilder the mind. If you have a strong mind, it’s easier to get through. But this time, the test is a true measure of strength. To think you can pass this test as a Third Level Tribulator is simply a pipe dream.”
