After he finished speaking, Drei braced himself to leave Jared’s consciousness field, finding himself once again on the iolite platform.
Drei’s complexion significantly improved as he felt the flame aura of the magical items around him.
However, as Drei raised his hand and gave a light pat, the surrounding colorful, magical items surprisingly slowly dissipated, eventually transforming into a single illusory seal.
“Divine Flame Seal. Is this the Divine Flame Seal?” Upon seeing the object in front of him, Jared was immediately taken aback.
He hadn’t expected the Divine Flame Seal to be there, of all places.
However, this Divine Flame Seal appeared rather ethereal, as if it was merely a projection, not a physical entity.
“This is the Divine Flame Seal, yet it’s not the Divine Flame Seal.” Drei spoke slowly.
Upon hearing that, Jared was instantly baffled, having no idea what Drei was talking about. If it is, then it is. If it isn’t, then it isn’t. What’s with it being it yet not it? What’s with these riddles?
If it weren’t for Drei having just passed on his lifelong cultivation techniques to Jared, Jared would probably be cursing him.
Sensing the anger surging within Jared, Drei hurriedly explained, “This is Divine Flame Seal’s seal soul. That was why I said the Divine Flame Seal was no longer the Divine Flame Seal.”
Upon hearing that, Jared instantly gained clarity. Some items worn by cultivators all the while will eventually develop weapon soul over time. Just like my Dragonslayer Sword, it also possesses a sword spirit. This Divine Flame Seal is the Fire Spirit Lord’s relic. With his capabilities, it’s only normal for his Divine Flame Seal to possess a seal soul and develop intelligence. In this case, the seal soul has always been here, while the Divine Flame Seal that Harlan and his group have been searching for is nothing more than an empty shell. Still, despite being just an empty shell, it can assist in cultivation and enable the fire fusion technique. I must say, the relics left behind by Fire Spirit Lord are all great treasures!
When Jared was reminded that Vermilion Demon Lord and Fire Spirit Lord were of the same status and cultivation level, he said to Vermilion Demon Lord excitedly, “Demon Lord, this Fire Spirit Lord left so many magical items here in Ethereal Realm, each one more impressive than the other. Didn’t you leave any magical items behind? Why don’t you tell me now? I’ll go look for them and compare if your magical items are stronger than Fire Spirit Lord’s.”
Upon hearing Jared’s demand for his magical item, Vermilion Demon Lord couldn’t help but roll his eyes and said, “I lost my life in Ethereal Realm. Isn’t that enough? What other magical item are you expecting? Are you saying my divine soul is inferior to that Fire Spirit Lord’s bullsh*t magical items? If that’s the case, I might as well leave you. After all, this place allows me the freedom to move about without any constraints. I’ll just wait here quietly for fate to bring the right person to me.”
With that, Vermilion Demon Lord surprisingly threw a tantrum like a child, intending to leave Jared’s consciousness field.
Upon noticing the situation, Jared quickly apologized, “Mr. Vermilion, I was merely asking casually. Why are you so flustered? You can just stay in my consciousness field. I won’t charge you anything. Moreover, I assure you I’ll gather all your remains so you can be resurrected. I’m confident I can make it happen.”
Jared would never let Vermilion Demon Lord leave him. Having the latter in his consciousness was like having an extra encyclopedia, considering Vermilion Demon Lord knew everything about matters of Ethereal Realm and other magical items Jared wasn’t familiar with.
Moreover, with Vermilion Demon Lord around, Jared could use Nethersky Eye anytime, anywhere, a perk that Jared found utterly enjoyable.
“You and your insatiable greed, brat. Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew. Even if you were to obtain all those magical items, are you sure you can handle them?”
After finishing his sentence, Vermilion Demon Lord turned his head away, paying no further attention to Jared.
Jared was momentarily speechless. He’s an old demon lord who has lived for thousands of years, yet he’s acting like a child, throwing a tantrum…
What Jared failed to notice was that while he was conversing with Vermilion Demon Lord, Drei had gradually shut his eyes with a faint smile on his face.
His soul remnant was slowly dissipating.
Without the sustenance of the flame aura, and given that Drei had imparted all his cultivation techniques to Jared, his soul remnant couldn’t possibly exist any further.
