Jemima asked in disbelief, “W-Where is this? Why are there so many celestial gems?”
“We’re inside the Pentacarna Tower… I’ve obtained these celestial gems from the Treasure Land. Just focus on your recovery here. Within this Pentacarna Tower, time passes incredibly fast… A year in the outside world equates to a century within this tower,” Jared said.
“What?” Jemima looked at Jared in shock. “You’re not fooling me, are you?”
“Why would I fool you? It’s true. Just focus on your cultivation, and once you’re out, you’ll naturally understand.”
After Jared finished speaking, paid no further attention to Jemima. Instead, quietly began his cultivation.
Seeing that, Jemima also sat cross-legged and began to recover.

While Jared and Jemima were engrossed in their cultivation, Braxton led the people of Celestial Palace’s Eighth Hall, rushing toward the Caxton Continent.
There were two reasons for that. First, they wanted to rendezvous with Eradin and the others, and second, they wanted to find a place to settle down. That was because Celestial Palace’s Eighth Hall didn‘t have a place of their own on level one. Besides, one wouldn’t be able to find Celestial Palace on level one.
Due to a divine soul injury, Braxton had retreated to level one with the people from Celestial Palace’s Eighth Hall for recuperation. In the meantime, took control of Winged Tiger City, using it as a base to gather resources from all around.
Initially, thought that with the power of Celestial Palace’s Eighth Hall, would be an invincible entity within level one. He didn’t expect Jared to go to level one and cause such a ruckus.
At that moment, Braxton had to regain control of a certain place.
After much consideration, thought Caxton Continent seemed the most suitable.
The region of Caxton Continent was a sight to behold, stretching out to be more than a dozen times the size of Winged Tiger City.
It was dotted with hundreds of cities and served as the largest habitat for the human race. However, the human race of Caxton Continent generally possessed low strength.
The one who held control over the entire Caxton Continent was merely at Wandering Immortal Realm Level Three. Therefore, the people from Celestial Palace’s Eighth Hall, accompanied by the soldiers of Winged Tiger City, would directly plunder the resources of Caxton Continent and enslave its inhabitants.
Survival of the fittest was an age-old principle that would never change.

Three days later, Jared and Jemima had completely recovered. However, Murray Spear was gone for good.
“How do you feel?” Jared asked.
With a smile, Jemima said, “After nearly a year of cultivation, I’ve fully recovered!”
Jared merely smiled, not uttering a word, and with Jemima by his side, they left the Pentacarna Tower.
Stepping out from the tower, Jemima was taken aback. She realized that despite a year having passed, there was surprisingly little change In the surroundings.
At that moment, Flaxseed glanced over and casually asked, “All recovered?”
“Yes… Do you want to go in and cultivate for a while?” Jared asked.
“I don’t need it. I’m fine now. The only issue is that I’m running low on charms. l have to find more materials to make an ample supply,” Flaxseed said.
“My fellow cultivator, how did we cultivate?” Jemima asked Flaxseed.
“Three days! It’s only been three days!” Flaxseed answered.
“Three days?” Jemima was taken aback, looking at Jared in disbelief.
At that moment, was beginning to trust Jared’s words. Outside, three days had passed, but within the tower, they had spent nearly a year.
If one were to continue cultivating in the tower, the speed of their cultivation would be a hundred times that of others.
Jemima seemed to be getting a bit excited.
However, in the next moment, the expression on Jemima’s face drastically changed. “Oh, no…”
“What‘s wrong?” Jared asked, puzzled.
With an anxious expression, Jemima urgently said, “The situation in Caxton Continent has turned dire. Someone is forcefully taking control of the entire land!”
“How did you know? Are you really from Caxton Continent?” Jared asked.
Jemima shook head. “I’m not a native of Caxton Continent, but I’ve lived there for many years. I’m the daughter of the Murray family. My family resided in level two, but due to certain events that occurred years ago, I’ve been living in Caxton Continent of level one for many years.”
