“Forget it! I’m stuck in your consciousness field for now. No one else can handle my soul remnant anyway,” the Vermilion Demon Lord grumbled.
Jared let out a sigh. “So what should we do?”
“I’ll go with you to the celestial realm,” the Vermilion Demon Lord replied. “Just keep pushing yourself. Once you reach Level Nine, I’ll be able to break free from your consciousness and rebuild my physical body.”
He had no other choice. Traveling with Jared was the only path forward. But until Jared’s strength reached Level Nine, the Vermilion Demon Lord would remain bound to his host. After all, the Vermilion Demon Lord was the great demon lord of level nine.
“All right,” Jared said with a nod. “Please bear with me a little longer.”
After reaching an agreement with the Vermilion Demon Lord, Jared threw himself into intense training.
Before lay a vast array of resources, all gathered from others.
With the Focus Technique activated, Jared began cultivating with relentless determination. As cultivated, time became irrelevant.
Days, weeks, or even months could have passed, but Jared didn‘t notice. Eventually, the resources that had once seemed endless were completely depleted.
And in that time, Jared reached the Immortal Realm. Although had only just reached Immortal Realm Level One, knew that navigating level one of the celestial realm would no longer pose a significant challenge.
When Jared emerged from the Pentacarna Tower, everyone was left in stunned silence.
“How long has it been?” Jared asked, unsure of how much time had passed.
“Mr. Chance, it’s only been half a month!” Corrado exclaimed, his voice filled with awe.
“In just half a month, you’ve reached the Immortal Realm?” Flaxseed added, equally impressed. “Your progress is incredible!”
Jared felt a surge of excitement within himself. Had known how powerful this tower was, would have brought it to the Ethereal Realm from the start, rather than leaving it in the Village of Villains.
“Is the Celestial Stairway still there?” Jared asked.
“It’s still there, hasn’t moved a bit,” Corrado replied.
A sense of relief washed over Jared. He turned to Flaxseed and said, “Mr. Flaxseed, I’ll take you to ascend the stairway and see if we can enter the Celestial Realm. If they refuse us, I fear there’s nothing more I can do.”
“Don’t worry.” Flaxseed chuckled. “Once I’m there, I’ll find out who put the stairway in place. It could be someone I know well.”
With his memories fully restored, Flaxseed recalled everything from his time in the Celestial Realm, including the people had met. However, there was no guarantee they would recognize now. After all, had been reborn, and his appearance had changed drastically.
“Jared, are you really just going to leave without saying goodbye to us?” Cecilia and the others called out in unison.
As Jared gazed at the women before him, a wave of dizziness washed over him. He had never once felt overwhelmed by the number of women in his life, but seeing them all gathered together like this was undeniably intimidating.
“Master, I can’t come with you to the Celestial Realm. What if you’re lonely once you’re there?” Feenix’s eyes filled with tears as looked at Jared, voice heavy with sorrow.
Jared gently stroked Feenix’s head and reassured her, “Don’t worry, I’ll have Zelda with me. She’ll help keep my loneliness at bay.”
Catina stepped forward with a serious expression. “Jared, once you reach the Celestial Realm, you better not go chasing after women anymore. Your body can’t handle it!”
Jared stared at Catina, utterly speechless. The truth was, it was rarely chasing after women, more often than not, they were the ones making the first move.
Catina was a perfect example of the situation. She had initially threatened him, desiring his bloodline, only to end up tied to him.
Jared found it difficult to resist when a woman threw herself at like this.
At this moment, however, Jared found himself at a loss for words. All could do was reassure the women, “Once I reach the Celestial Realm, I won’t be chasing after anyone. I’ll always have you all in my thoughts. But you should also focus on your training and aim to join me in the Celestial Realm as soon as possible. When I miss you, I’ll come back to visit. With the Heaven and Earth Array broken, there are no more restrictions. Returning won’t be a problem.”
After bidding his farewells to the women, Jared, accompanied by Flaxseed, stepped onto the Celestial Stairway.
“You’ve finally arrived…” The old man, who had been waiting patiently, let out a sigh of relief. “I knew you’d make it.”
“Sir, thank you for always waiting for me,” Jared said with deep gratitude. “If the day ever comes when you need me, I will do whatever it takes to help you…”
