At that very moment, Leighton and his companions had already caught up. What followed was a relentless onslaught of flames aimed squarely at Jared.
Utilizing Blazing Stride, Jared swiftly dodged.
“Pay attention, all of you. Don’t damage the statue. That brat’s got it in his possession. If the statue gets ruined, it’s utterly useless,” Selma yelled out.
Upon hearing that, Leighton urgently instructed everyone to stop and pursue Jared to block Jared’s path.
Selma’s figure was also rapidly moving.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, Jared felt an aura swiftly approaching from behind.
Without even sparing a glance, Jared swiftly moved, following it up with a swift palm strike toward his back.
A wall of fierce flames formed behind Jared, momentarily blocking Leighton and the others.
As Jared struck out with his palm, several figures appeared before him all at once. Indeed, it was Leighton who arrived with a few members of the Mueller family.
They didn’t launch an attack on Jared. Instead, they simultaneously made their move, aiming straight for the statue in Jared’s hand.
Upon seeing the situation, Jared dropped down instantly, landing heavily on the ground.
Suddenly, the ground collapsed, forming a deep pit, from which a surge of aura continuously
erupted toward the sky.
The surge of aura sent Jared’s body reeling.
“What rich celestial energy…” Jared couldn’t help but look down.
Within the deep pit below him, celestial energy was flowing, presenting a unique shade of purple-brown. That was the first time Jared had ever seen such a color of celestial energy.
The celestial energy was usually as invisible and tasteless as spiritual energy. However, there, the celestial energy had taken on a color, likely due to its overwhelming concentration.
That celestial energy had condensed into a liquid form, appearing just like a serene pond.
“Could it be that the celestial energy from that mansion was actually emanating from this place? Jared’s eyes were filled with astonishment,
“This must be the celestial energy pool of Infinitnus Celestial Sect. For a sect as grand as this, its disciples must need an abundance of celestial energy for their cultivation. In this chaos dimension, there is no celestial energy nor resources for cultivation to be found. Therefore, the Infinitnus Celestial Sect must have constructed this celestial energy pool before they even arrived here. Moreover, this celestial energy pool is hidden underground, which is why it remains undiscovered by anyone until now. It seems that due to its age, the celestial energy pool has suffered some damage, which led to the leakage of its energy into the mansion.” Vermilion Demon Lord explained to Jared.
Upon hearing that, Jared felt his heart was pounding wildly. A celestial energy pool of Infinitnus Celestial Sect! How much celestial energy is actually stored within here? It must be a terrifying amount, seeing that this celestial energy had already liquefied, signifying that the energy had reached a certain level of richness.
Had it not been for Jared’s swift dive to the ground to avoid Leighton and others seizing the statue, the celestial energy pool might have remained undiscovered.
Jared’s body fell once again, plunging directly into the celestial energy pool with a splash.
The arriving Selma and Leighton, among others, found themselves at a loss upon seeing the pool of purplish-brown celestial energy.
“What’s this? Why is there suddenly a pool here?” Selma was unaware that what was flowing in the pool was actually celestial energy. She thought it was just a pool of water.
“Ms. Selma, it doesn’t seem to be an ordinary pond but rather appears to be some kind of spiritual energy…” Leighton felt waves of aura surging skyward.
Suddenly, Leighton’s eyes widened as he exclaimed, “Ms. Selma, could this… Could this possibly be celestial energy?”
“Celestial energy?” Selma was taken aback.
“Yes. The Infinitnus Celestial Sect should be a celestial realm sect inhabited by immortals. Surely, their cultivation would involve the use of celestial energy. Could this place be the sacred land of resources for Infinitnus Celestial Sect, a Holy Pond to contain celestial energy?” Leighton analyzed.
He didn’t understand celestial energy nor had he ever experienced it, so he could only speculate.
“Send someone down to investigate.” After Selma finished speaking, she turned to one of the Mueller family members and said, “You do it.”
