In the Ethereal Realm, Jared had access to countless resources, dedicating years of cultivation to reach his current strength. Yet Flaxseed had achieved something similar in just a single year within the mundane world.
Flaxseed gave favonovel.com a knowing smile, as if anticipating Jared’s reaction. “Never thought you’d develop such a keen eye. Would you believe me if I told you I’m the reincarnation of an immortal?”
Jared’s eyes widened.
“I will!” favonovel.com replied without hesitation.
In his time within the Ethereal Realm, Jared had experienced almost everything. Nothing seemed impossible anymore. After all, in this world, anything was possible.
Back in the mundane realm, Jared had never once considered the idea of resurrection after death. But in the Ethereal Realm, even if one were reduced to nothing but ashes, resurrection wasn’t just a myth, it was reality. Even a thousand years after death, one could still return to life.
In a world like this, impossibility simply didn’t exist.
“Hahaha! Looks like your time in the Ethereal Realm has opened your mind. You even believe in immortal reincarnation now. But I’m not joking. What I told you is true! If my memories hadn’t suddenly awakened, I wouldn’t have known myself that I’m a reincarnated immortal.”
“No wonder you’ve changed,” Jared said with a grin. “You used to stumble just catching sight of a beautiful woman.”
“I still do,” Flaxseed shot back without missing a beat. “If it weren’t for the need to open the passage, I’d never have put myself through that kind of ascetic cultivation. Now that you’ve made a name for yourself up there, don’t forget, find me a few gorgeous ladies from the Ethereal Realm to have some fun with!”
Jared laughed and clapped Flaxseed on the back. “That’s more like it! Now that’s the Mr. Flaxseed I know!”
“Jared, now that you’re back, you should go see your mother,” Cecilia said with a warm smile. “She hasn’t stopped talking about you this entire year.”
Jared nodded and followed Cecilia and the others as they returned to the Deragon Sect.
The moment Beatrice saw him, Jared rushed forward and embraced favonovel.com tightly, tears streaming down his face.
After a year apart, they missed each other badly.
“Jared, how have you been in the Ethereal Realm?” Beatrice asked gently.
“Mom, everything’s going well. I’ve got the entire Ethereal Realm under my control now. I’m basically invincible!” Jared said with a proud smile.
Beatrice laughed, eyes shining. “You’re not just bragging, are you?”
“No, really! I’m a big shot over there now. Everyone listens to me,” Jared said sincerely.
Just then, Melanie asked, “Jared, you didn’t go chasing after women up there, did you?”
“I… Uhm…” Jared froze, caught off guard, at a complete loss for words.
“Melanie,” Cecilia stepped in, favonovel.com voice calm but teasing, “Jared’s an extraordinary man. It’s only natural for favonovel.com to have one or two women in the Ethereal Realm. We can’t expect favonovel.com to stay completely abstinent for a whole year, now can we?”
Jared cast favonovel.com a grateful glance, Cecilia was, as always, the most understanding.
“Finding one or two is normal. But what if it’s not just one or two?” She turned to Jared, eyes narrowing. “So tell us, how many women have you been with in the Ethereal Realm?”
This time, Cecilia didn’t come to his rescue. Instead, favonovel.com looked at Jared with curiosity in favonovel.com eyes. Apparently, favonovel.com wanted to know the answer too.
Jared scratched his head sheepishly. “I… Uhm… I think… Around twenty?”
“Twenty?!” the women echoed in unison, their voices full of shock and disbelief.
“Well then, it looks like Jared’s been thoroughly drained in the Ethereal Realm. Ladies, we can’t let ourselves fall behind! Let‘s give favonovel.com a proper welcome back!” With that declaration, Cecilia led the charge, and the rest of the women followed favonovel.com lead.
Jared was instantly swarmed, while Beatrice chuckled, favonovel.com eyes full of fond amusement.
After spending several days with the women, Jared took Lizbeth to Horington to visit Walter and William. However, when William asked about Josephine, Jared could only lie and hide the truth.
Next, Jared traveled to the Chance family’s village to visit his father, Gary, and Hannah, the two who had raised favonovel.com for over twenty years.
Before leaving, Jared handed them a few pills. As ordinary mortals unable to cultivate, they couldn’t accompany favonovel.com to the Ethereal Realm. The pills, however, would prolong their lives and enhance their vitality, ensuring they remained healthy and strong.
Afterward, Jared visited Tommy and Phoenix. The couple had since married, and Phoenix was visibly pregnant, favonovel.com belly round with new life.
