A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6265

"Then send them back," Jared said without a second of hesitation.

Gwendolyn looked at him. "Do you know how to open the void passage between two firmaments?"

Jared said nothing.

He did.

Opening a void passage from the Fourteenth Firmament down to level thirteen required a terrifying amount of power.

Ordinary High Immortal cultivators couldn't do it at all. Only experts at the True Immortal Realm and above had that kind of ability.

His current strength was enough to fight across realms against a True Immortal Realm Level Three cultivator.

But opening a void passage didn't depend on combat strength. It depended on understanding the laws of space and being able to control them.

"I can try." Jared said it through clenched teeth.

Gwendolyn didn't say anything.

She only gave a small nod.

That afternoon, Sidney and Cadence really did wake up.

When Jared stepped into the hollow, Sidney was bracing himself with visible effort, trying to push his body upright from the stone dais.

Cadence leaned against him.

Her face was pale, but her eyes were open now, drifting across everything around her with a lost, unfocused look.

"Mr. Morse!" Jared hurried over and caught Sidney by the shoulder. "Don't rush to get up. You're both still too weak."

Sidney lifted his head and looked at Jared.

That face, the same one that had once carried itself with full force and confidence in the Elder Marches, was now drained by weakness and exhaustion.

But his eyes were still as bright as ever.

"Mr. Chance..." His voice came out rough, carrying the weight of someone who had barely crawled back from the edge. "I... I really thought I was done for."

Jared smiled.

"You've got a tough life, Senior. Even if you wanted to die, it wouldn't come easy."

Sidney gave a bitter little smile, then turned to look at Cadence beside him.

Cadence was looking at Jared with something tangled in her eyes.

The rims of them had gone faintly red.

"Mr. Chance... thank you." Her voice was so soft it nearly vanished. "Sidney and I... we owe you one life. No... Sidney owes you two now."

Jared shook his head.

"What are you saying, Senior? Back in level twelve, you were the ones who helped me. If it weren't for you, I'd have died a long time ago. And if you hadn't gotten contaminated by the chaotic aura on me, the Celestial Palace never would've refined you into soul crystals."

Cadence looked like she still wanted to say something, but Sidney gently took her hand.

"That's enough, Cadence," Sidney said. His voice was weak, but it still carried that steady weight that made people settle. "Mr. Chance isn't the kind of man who likes sitting there listening to people thank him. We can keep it in our hearts."

Cadence nodded.

She didn't say anything else. She just rested her head lightly against Sidney's shoulder.

Jared watched them, and something in him eased.

They had made it back alive.

Footsteps came from outside the hollow.

Gwendolyn walked in.

She looked over Sidney and Cadence's condition, then gave a small nod.

"They're recovering well. At this rate, after another two or three days of rest, they should be able to move around on their own again."

She paused, then looked at Jared.

"But my suggestion is to send them away today."

"Today?" Jared said, caught off guard. "They haven't recovered yet..."

"The slower they recover, the longer they stay in the Fourteenth Firmament, and the longer they stay here, the greater the risk that the laws of the realm will eat away at them."

Gwendolyn's voice stayed level, and it didn't bend.

"While their bodies are still relatively stable, send them off as soon as possible. The longer this drags out, the more chances there are for something to go wrong."

Jared went quiet for a moment.

Then he turned and looked at Sidney.

Sidney still didn't fully understand what was going on, but from the exchange between the two of them, he had already picked up enough to know the situation wasn't simple.

He looked at Jared, then at Gwendolyn.

After a moment, he nodded slowly.

"I'll leave it to you," Sidney said. "As long as I get to stay alive and stay with Cadence, it doesn't matter where I am."

Jared drew in a deep breath and got to his feet.

Boom!
