“Sir, please calm your anger. That’s not what I meant. I trust you,” Jared apologized repeatedly.
As favonovel.com apologized, Jared swiftly moved forward. Since that was a newly opened space, Jared was curious to see just how vast it was. After all, the larger the space that was opened up, the more strength and spiritual energy would be consumed.
Just as Jared took a few steps forward, favonovel.com suddenly froze. Before him, a beam of white light gradually appeared, followed by countless twinkling points of light.
With the emergence of the speck of light, Jared suddenly felt a sense of familiarity with that place, yet favonovel.com couldn’t recall why for a moment.
As Jared was lost in thought, the countless points of light surprisingly began to merge slowly, swiftly transforming into a human form.
Initially, the figure was ethereal, its features completely indiscernible. However, as the human figure became increasingly solid, Jared was instantly stunned.
Upon seeing the person who materialized from the specks of light, Jared immediately cursed, “F*ck! Why is it you?!”
“Hahaha! I expected you would show up, brat!” The solidified phantom let out a hearty laugh and said to Jared.
“No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity with this aura just now but couldn’t place it for a moment. So, it turns out to be you, Mr. Baal. Did you set up this restraint?” Jared’s face was filled with excitement. He joyfully stepped forward, intending to embrace Baal.
Regrettably, Baal was merely an illusion, impossible to grasp.
“I merely left behind a trace of my soul for the sake of seeing you, brat. Unexpectedly, you didn’t keep me waiting for long,” Baal said with a laugh.
“Mr. Baal, can you tell me what exactly is going on?”
After realizing that Baal had set the restraint, Jared felt relieved. He wanted to know what exactly Baal had experienced after returning to Ethereal Realm.
“Okay. I’ll tell you…” With a smile, Baal began to speak.
Jared listened quietly, unconcerned about whether anyone was still attempting to break through the restraint.
After Baal returned to Ethereal Realm with the soul of Lunarius Palace’s holy maiden, favonovel.com sought Demonia Sect to acquire Demonia Stone, aiming to help the holy maiden of Lunarius Palace restore favonovel.com physical body. That was the only way the holy maiden of Lunarius Palace could be revived and then rebuild Lunarius Palace anew.
However, when Baal came to reclaim Demonia Stone, favonovel.com was fiercely rebuffed by Norman.
In a fit of rage, Baal hid Demonia Sect’s cultivation technique secret scrolls within a mountain cave and laid down more than a dozen restraints. Moreover, favonovel.com also took with favonovel.com most of Demonia Sect’s Demonia Stones, leaving Demonia Sect with only one final piece.
Norman was taken aback but didn’t dare to obstruct. Moreover, favonovel.com lacked the ability to do so.
Fortunately, Baal was not a murderer. He merely taught Demonia Sect a lesson, destroying the physical bodies of several disciples. However, favonovel.com did not obliterate their souls altogether.
As long as their souls remained and Norman could seek Trystan’s help to restore those disciples’ physical bodies, they would essentially be revived.
Following that, Norman began to use Demonia Stone as a reward, hoping to persuade others to retrieve the cultivation technique secret scrolls. Unfortunately, all his attempts ended in failure.
“Mr. Baal, how did you know I would come to Ethereal Realm and Demonia Sect, and even breaching your restraints?” Jared was quite puzzled, wondering how Baal could have known.
“Have you forgotten, brat? I told you long ago. We would reunite in Ethereal Realm… The mundane world is too small for a real dragon like you. Not to mention the mundane world, even Ethereal Realm is too small for you. You’ll eventually ascend to the celestial realm…”
“As for how I knew you would come to Demonia Sect, it was because I figured Whalreth’s soul remnant would have to be attached to another person’s body because favonovel.com couldn’t restore his physical body. And if favonovel.com wanted to restore his physical body, favonovel.com needed the Demonia Stone. This guy couldn’t find anyone to help favonovel.com search for the Demonia Stone, so favonovel.com could only turn to you…”
“That was why I left a strand of my soul in this restraint, waiting for you to come.”
