Jared had been fiddling with the Penta-Color Stone for a good hour, yet he still couldn’t figure out its significance.
It was important to note that what had been passed down from the Five Great Sects couldn’t possibly be just a useless rock.
However, Jared was clueless about the purpose of this stone.
“Mr. Chance, what are you looking at?”
Yuliya walked over and took a seat next to Jared.
Jared glanced at Yuliya but remained silent. He still held some reservations toward her because he didn’t like her.
Looking at Jared’s expression, Yuliya took the initiative to say, “Mr. Chance, I’m truly sorry. Due to my ignorance and willfulness these past few days, I’ve caused a loss for the holy maiden. Thank you for saving me. I realize now that I had some prejudice against you!”
Yuliya sincerely apologized, realizing at that moment the extraordinary nature of Jared.
Had it not been for Jared, not to mention her, even these holy maidens might not have located these polar stones, let alone survived up until then.
“Let’s not bring up the past anymore!”
Upon hearing Yuliya’s sincere apology, Jared chose not to say anything more.
After all, this Yuliya was not inherently bad by nature.
Yuliya looked at the Penta-Color Stone in Jared’s hand and asked, “Mr. Chance, I see that you’ve been examining that stone for quite some time now. Is there something special about it?”
“The stone has always been warm. I want to find out what is inside, but I simply can’t discover anything!” Jared uttered and handed over the Penta-Color Stone to Yuliya.
Yuliya took the Penta-Color Stone and immediately yelped, “It’s so hot…”
The Penta-Color Stone was tossed onto the ground by Yuliya.
The ground was blanketed with a thick layer of snow and ice. Yet, when the Penta-Color Stone fell, even the accumulated snow surprisingly caught fire.
Upon witnessing this peculiar sight, Jared widened his eyes in surprise as he quickly picked up the Penta-Color Stone. “It’s not hot at all…”
Jared was quite perplexed, wondering how Yuliya could claim that the Penta-Color Stone was burning hot.
Yuliya cautiously moved her hand closer, but she quickly pulled away the moment she got near.
“I can feel the heat wave from within this stone. It’s scorching…” Yuliya said.
Jared was utterly bewildered this time. What on earth is going on? Back then, when Mr. Delacroix gave it to me, it didn’t seem like he mentioned anything about it being hot. He just handed it directly to me!
Jared gazed at the Penta-Color Stone in his hand and cast his eyes to the scorch marks on the ground. The ground is covered in ice and snow, yet it could still ignite. How bizarre!
“Mr. Chance, have you ever tried to see if this stone would change when exposed to fire?” Yuliya questioned.
Upon hearing this, Jared felt it might be worth a shot. Thus, within his palm, a demonic fire began to blaze. He then held the Penta-Color Stone in his hand.
The demonic fire was directed toward the Penta-Color Stone, rapidly causing the previously radiant glow on the stone to start dimming until it lost all its brilliance.
Following that, the Penta-Color Stone astonishingly transformed into a deep, dark hue.
At that moment, Jared was somewhat taken aback. He had scorched the Penta-Color Stone black. What should I do now?
As Jared found himself at a loss, the stone astonishingly began to crack open slowly.
Following that, the Penta-Color Stone shattered, surprisingly revealing an object the size of a crystal core within.
The crystal core was brilliantly translucent, but within it resided five distinct colors. Within each color, there was an incredibly faint flame flickering.
This time, Jared held the crystal core from within the Penta-Color Stone, gradually infusing it with spiritual energy.
Suddenly, a burst of light radiated all around, casting a brilliant array of colors that painted half of the sky a vibrant red.
The flames inside then started to dance wildly.
Upon witnessing the situation, Jared was startled and quickly retracted his spiritual energy. Such a phenomenon could easily draw people’s attention! If this attracts other cultivators, it’s going to be a real hassle!
“So beautiful!” Yuliya exclaimed with a face full of shock.
“D*mn! Fire Spirit Lord’s demonic fire soul essence?”
At that moment, the voice of Vermilion Demon Lord echoed in Jared’s mind.
