Jared followed Nieva all the way to the grand hall. After passing several buildings, they landed in front of a moderate-sized house.
Two disciples from Lunarius Palace stood guard at the house’s entrance. Upon seeing Nieva’s arrival, they quickly paid their respects.
Subsequently, Nieva led Jared inward.
Inside the house, Jared was surprised to find many memorial tablets, and placed in front of the memorial tablets were the Demonia Stones.
“Mr. Chance, these are the Demonia Stones. Please, feel free to take as many as you need,” Nieva said.
Jared looked at the Demonia Stones, which appeared ordinary. He stepped forward and merely took one of them before putting it away in his Storage Ring.
Jared glanced at the tablets and asked, “Ms. Nieva, are these memorial tablets to honor the past elders of Lunarius Palace?”
“Indeed. I set up these memorial tablets with the hope that Lunarius Palace’s predecessors could find their way back to us. If their spirits still linger, these Demonia Stones can allow them to be reincarnated,” Nieva explained.
Jared gazed at the memorial tablets in bafflement. “In that case, could the companions you told me about be…” Does she want me to bring these memorial tablets to the polar region?
Nieva sensed Jared’s confusion. With a slight smile, she then moved behind those memorial tablets.
To Jared’s surprise, there was an arcane array blocking the way behind the memorial tablets.
Nieva took out an emerald token and lightly pressed it onto the array.
Suddenly, a burst of radiant light filled the room. The arcane array in front of her gradually faded, revealing an expanse of space that appeared out of nowhere.
After Nieva led Jared inside, he discovered that there wasn’t any snowy mountain in sight. Instead, the place was filled with pristine mountains and clear waters.
However, that place wasn’t particularly expansive because Jared could see the boundary barrier in the distance. This should be a small world that someone created.
Swoosh!
Just after Nieva led Jared inside, figures suddenly emerged from all directions. Jared instantly put up his guard, his aura churning and bursting forth.
“There’s no need to be afraid. These are Lunarius Palace’s holy maidens, potential successors to Lunarius Palace’s headship,” Nieva explained to Jared.
In no time, twelve women, striking in appearance and clad in uniform attire, landed in front of Jared and Nieva.
“Greetings, Ms. Nieva.” All twelve holy maidens simultaneously dropped to their knees.
However, they couldn’t help but steal an extra glance at Jared. Since they were chosen as the holy maidens, they hadn’t seen a man.
Nieva had never brought a man there before. Even the other disciples from Lunarius Palace hadn’t set foot in that place.
Jared glanced at those holy maidens. All of them are Sixth Level Tribulator. For the newly reestablished Lunarius Palace, possessing such strength is already considered quite impressive. After all, the three kings and four archons of the beast race are mere Seventh Level Tribulators.
Although those twelve holy maidens were only Sixth Level Tribulators, their auras could converge to form a powerful one.
Although there were only twelve of them, their combined aura was no less formidable than an army.
Of course, those female cultivators were undoubtedly extraordinary in their own ways to be selected as holy maidens.
“Ms. Nieva, are these holy maidens the companions you referred to?” Jared asked.
“That’s right. It’s them. I need them to break through in the polar region. They must elevate their strength as soon as possible.” Nieva was well aware that Lunarius Palace’s overall strength was far too weak.
Aside from herself and Selma, the cultivators with the next highest cultivation level were basically all Sixth Level Tribulators.
Their current strength was a world different from the Lunarius Palace of the past.
After all, in the past, only those who had attained the Ultimate Realm could be chosen. as Lunarius Palace’s holy maidens.
But now, the situation had changed. Nieva had no choice but to pick the best out of a mediocre bunch.
