A Man Like None Other

Chapter 4097 Being Opportunistic

Upon hearing this, Jared let out an awkward laugh. As the bearer of divine markings of Duad Formation Sect, it should be quite easy for him to appoint a new sect leader. He couldn't believe he had been needlessly worrying.

After spending a considerable amount of time chatting with Mickey, Jared's respect for his senior grew immensely.

Despite seemingly emerging from the form of a tiny white mouse, Mickey possessed a wealth of knowledge. He understood both profound and simple truths, and when he spoke, he made complete sense.

No one would guess that he used to be a mouse; he seemed more like a sage who had attained enlightenment.

After their conversation, Mickey departed. Vermilion Demon Lord then spoke up. “To be able to guide a mere mouse to such a level, it seems your so-called master really does have some skills. I'm certain this guy has ties with the celestial realm. Either his mentor is from there, or he himself hails from there, trapped within the Ethereal Realm. Given the level of cultivation and understanding of those in the Ethereal Realm, it is impossible for them to comprehend such matters, let alone reach such a level of enlightenment.”

Upon hearing the words of the Vermilion Demon Lord, Jared became quite intrigued by the mysterious Divinus. Unfortunately, his interactions with Divinus had been rather limited.

It was mostly Mickey who interacted with him.

Moreover, the existence of the blood emerald, a celestial object, at Duad Formation Sect further solidified the claim that the bearer of divine markings was indeed from the celestial realm.

Jared didn't take much of a break, he continued to work on inscribing the divine markings. Only after truly mastering the markings and refining them could he leave this place.

As for those pairs of crimson eyes, they continued to appear. However, Jared simply chose to ignore them.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Jared had his entire focus on crafting the array runes. His mind was constantly filled with the radiant flow of divine markings, imagining himself merging into one with them.

As Jared continued his meticulous work, he no longer needed to look at the yellow cloth; the divine markings came to him with ease.

Meanwhile, atop a certain hill under a pitch-black night sky devoid of stars, the venerable Divinus gazed toward the thatched hut, his crimson eyes emerging once again.

Mickey stood next to Divinus, asking with a hint of curiosity. “Master, do you really think Jared can master the divine markings? If he truly does and leaves the thatched hut, I fear he might not be able to handle Hellion's men.”

“You needn't worry about that,” said Divinus. “If he can't handle the likes of Hellion, even mastering the divine markings would be pointless. Those who are useless are only fit to be bait.”

“Master, you mentioned that Jared possesses talents surpassing even you. Could it be possible that he has the ability to activate the Heaven and Earth Array and aid you in your return to the celestial realm?” Mickey continued to ask.

Divinus cast a cold glance at Mickey and spoke impassively. “I understand your ambitions. You too wish to ascend to the celestial realm and achieve immortality. However, remember this, attaining immortality requires your own diligent cultivation. Only by enduring various trials and tribulations can you hope to succeed. If you try to cut corners and rely on others, even if you manage to ascend, your foundation will be unstable, and it will be difficult to maintain your position. The celestial realm isn't as wonderful as you might imagine; it can be even more ruthless than this place. Ascending to immortality is just the beginning. Many cultivators who reach that stage fall quickly afterward. In the celestial realm, countless immortals perish daily. During the Celestial Battle, innumerable immortals and demon lords met their end. I'm not sure how many celestial beings are trapped in the Ethereal Realm, but it's certainly more than a few. Some have found ways to return from the dead, others have survived as soul remnants, and some, with diminished powers, have chosen to fade into the background. Inside Jared's mind, there exists a celestial demonic soul. I just don't know its identity.”
