“Who exactly is he? Despite being at Seventh Level Tribulator, favonovel.com exhibited strength surpassing even those at Ultimate Realm Level One. At such a young age, he’s already an array master and a senior array master at that! He even dared to kill the son of the president of the Demon Seal Alliance…”
Judith truly couldn’t comprehend what exactly Jared’s identity was and what kind of background favonovel.com had to be so astonishingly impressive.
After Jared finished inscribing the arcane array, a shield gradually rose up around them.
Once the shield was raised, Judith immediately sensed a shift in favonovel.com surroundings. The entire area was imbued with a sense of comfort.
“Why did you set up an arcane array under the sea?” Judith asked in confusion.
No one could have imagined that they were at the bottom of the Dead Sea. Not just anyone could reach these depths.
“This arcane array is designed to safeguard this divine tree. Within it resides a soul remnant, which is why it emanates celestial energy and possesses a consciousness.”
Jared shared Violet‘s story with Judith, which left favonovel.com in silence.
She had always assumed that the divine tree possessed its own celestial energy. Little did favonovel.com know there was a soul remnant within it.
Jared sat in silence alongside Judith at the bottom of the sea. As long as those Demonic Cultivators couldn’t find them, they would leave. Once they left, they would emerge from the bottom of the sea and return to the mainland.

While Jared and Judith were waiting, a dozen figures swiftly appeared above their heads.
It was Skylar, who arrived with a group of Demonic Cultivators.
They halted right above where Jared and Judith were.
“Mr. Norton, are we heading In the right direction? There’s not a soul in sight around here,” Abel asked.
Skylar furrowed his brows as favonovel.com fiddled with the geomantic compass. In the end, his gaze fell upon the Dead Sea beneath his feet.
“The two of them are most likely in this Dead Sea,” favonovel.com said coldly.
“In this Dead Sea?” Abel was taken aback. “Mr. Norton, you don’t understand the nature of the Dead Sea. There isn’t a single living creature within it. If anyone were to enter the Dead Sea, they would immediately turn into a skeleton. Why would those two venture into the Dead Sea unless they have a death wish?”
“Ordinary cultivators might avoid the Dead Sea, but Jared wouldn’t. He must have taken Judith with favonovel.com into the Dead Sea. The location l’m searching for can’t be wrong. Since he’s not around here, favonovel.com must be at the bottom of the sea,” Skylar said with great certainty.
“Mr. Norton, I don’t mean to dismiss your speculation, but you truly don’t understand the power of the Dead Sea. We’ve lived here for many years and have never seen a single cultivator reach the bottom of it. Forget about going underwater, just getting splashed with seawater would cause your skin to break down instantly…”
“Let’s look elsewhere. We’re just wasting time here. I’m afraid Jared might escape. It would be difficult to explain to the president then,” Abel persuaded.
Skylar gave Abel a cold glance and said, “Don’t use your president to intimidate me. He may be your president, but he’s not mine. Don’t forget, we are only partners. Since you claim that no cultivator can enter the Dead Sea, let me show you how I do it.”
After Skylar finished speaking, flames began to rise from his body. He plunged straight into the Dead Sea, disappearing without a trace.
The Demonic Cultivators watched in astonishment, eager to see what the outcome would be.
They waited for quite a while, but there was no sign of Skylar coming up, nor did they see any of his skeletal remains floating up.
Fifteen minutes passed before Skylar’s figure finally emerged from the sea.
