Though the stench of blood still hung over the Seventh Hall’s ruins, Saleto had his men clear a secluded stone chamber at once.
A rare Tranquil Emerald was set into the inner walls, muting any surge of spiritual energy—a perfect place to heal.
“Jared, these are the last three Focus Pills the Seventh Hall possesses. They work wonders for stabilizing the soul—please use them.”
Saleto offered an emerald box with both hands, his deference bordering on humility.
Jhaelyn eased Jared onto a stone bench, frowning at the demonic aura still pulsing from his chest. “That demonic aura is fierce. Won’t it hurt your core?”
Jared waved the concern off and stored the pills in his ring. “It’s all right. Mr. Vermilion was careful. My physical body was just unable to endure his power.”
He drew a fingertip across his brow; a pinpoint of gold light gleamed, and the phantom Pentacarna Tower began to revolve slowly inside him.
“I’ll need a few days of seclusion. I’ll leave this place in your care.”
Even before he finished, a soft golden aura blossomed around him. Like a stone sinking into water, his body slipped soundlessly beneath the flagstones.
The wall with the Tranquil Emerald quivered. A shadowy, ancient tower rose from the floor and swallowed him whole.
“An independent dimension within a magical item?” Saleto gasped.
To bind a magical item’s dimension to the earth veins—such mastery lay far beyond anything cultivators of the Third Heaven were thought to possess.
Inside the Pentacarna Tower, an entirely different panorama unfolded.
Countless celestial gems and pulsing spirit veins lay strewn across the inner floor, mingled with crates of mystical herbs and glittering relics—booty Jared had seized after wiping out several sects.
“Curse you, old demon,” he growled, “are you trying to tear my body apart and rebuild it from scratch with such brutal force?”
Clenching his teeth, Jared circulated the Focus Technique, willing his shredded flesh to mend itself.
As the Focus Technique revolved, torrents of pristine celestial energy surged into his body, flooding every inch of him.
Three full days and nights slipped by in silence.
Crack!
