A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance)

"Quenric? What kind of capabilities does this guy have?" Jared needed to first understand what kind of strength Quenric possessed.

If the other party was an Immortal Realm cultivator, Jared would have had to find a way to hide. "His abilities are on par with mine, but this guy is incredibly cunning and has an incredibly dark nature. There's no doubt he issued this kill order, aiming to kill two birds with one stone. When countless cultivators see the Decree of Execution, they'll undoubtedly try to kill you for the hundred thousand celestial crystals. This way, he can save himself the effort. After eliminating you, they'll certainly go to Tenth Hall to claim their bounty. By then, there's no way my father can afford to pay a hundred thousand celestial crystals. In that case, my father will be seen as utterly untrustworthy. This will perfectly serve Quenric's purpose of upsetting my father." Octavion held an extremely poor opinion of Quenric. "He's merely a Top Level Ultimate Realm Level Nine cultivator. Couldn't he just be directly eliminated or expelled from Tenth Hall? Considering how an insignificant cultivator like him dares to challenge the overlord, it seems Tenth Hall isn't that impressive, after all." Upon hearing Octavion's words, Jared found it hard to believe.

He couldn't imagine an Ultimate Realm cultivator would dare to challenge the overlord of Tenth Hall in such a manner.

Octavion let out a sigh and said, "Ah, you're not fully aware. Someone is supporting Quenric. His stay in Tenth Hall is merely a temporary arrangement."

"He's a nepotist?" Jared was immediately rendered speechless.

He hadn't expected that even in a place like the celestial realm, nepotism could still rear its ugly head. One should know that such matters were hardly uncommon in the mundane world. Every department had its share of nepotism.

"What's your next move? I can't possibly show up before Celestial Stairway appears, so I'm unable to assist you," Octavion asked Jared.

"Different situations call for different action. If someone is seeking their demise, I'll simply oblige. In my eyes, there are no nepotists," Jared uttered calmly.

Octavion said to Jared, "If that Quenric dares to show up, I hope you'd be able to take him out. It would save my father the trouble."

"Are you requesting a favor from me?" Jared asked with a chuckle.

"You could say that. I'm aware of your rules. I can offer you something." Once Octavion finished speaking, he unexpectedly handed a scroll over to Jared.

Jared took the scroll and asked, "What is this? I don't need any sort of mystical armor. It's completely useless to me."

"This is celestials' Divine

Body-Refining Scroll. We, celestials,

have always been distinct from

bel

ordinary humans, including our physical bodies which couldn't be as fragile as theirs. That's why we have always been committed to Body Cultivation. Even though you've been advancing rapidly and are capable of punching above your level, you're not without weaknesses. The speed at which your physical body is refining itself can't keep up with your cultivation speed. You should know that as your cultivation level increases, many techniques require the support of a strong physical body. The stronger the body, the stronger the techniques. "So, having celestials' Divine Body-Refining Scroll might be beneficial for you," Octavion explained to Jared.

Jared nodded in agreement. He too thought that Octavion's point was valid. In fact, Jared could also sense that the rate at which his physical body was improving was far too slow.

"You're giving me the celestials' cultivation methods. Isn't this a betrayal to your clan?" Jared asked.

"I'm no longer part of the celestials,

so where does betrayal come into play?" Octavion chuckled. "In truth, I'm aware that what we pompously call the celestials is really just the human clan. There's never such a thing as celestials in the world."

Jared looked at Octavion in surprise, not expecting the latter to be so incredibly lucid.

Upon unrolling the scroll, a sudden beam of white light shot straight into Jared's forehead. Boom!

In an instant, a flood of information poured into Jared's mind.

The celestials' Divine Body-Refining Scroll was indeed extraordinary. It was incomparably stronger than

the Archaic Body Cultivation's cultivation technique.
