The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6183

Alaric paused, then went on. "Still, the Celestial Basilica does have a secret method that can awaken sleeping soul and sense. It's called the Rite of Reincarnant Passage, and it's one of the Celestial Basilica's guarded secrets. It's just..."

He stopped there and didn't finish. His eyes flickered as he watched Jared's reaction.

Jared said, "Just what? Whatever price this takes, Hall Master Alaric, you can say it plainly."

Alaric looked at him and spoke slowly. "It's just that this method requires a huge amount of bloodline power. And to awaken soul and sense that have been asleep this long, the amount needed is even greater."

He paused, then pressed the point harder. "Jared, you possess the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Bloodline. It's a peerless bloodline, one in ten thousand. If you're willing to offer a portion of that bloodline as the spark to awaken them, then this matter will have a seventy percent chance of succeeding."

Jared's brow lifted slightly.

Offer up his bloodline?

He looked at Alaric and said, "How much?"

Alaric raised two fingers and gestured lightly. "Not much. Just one bowl. With your cultivation, if you give up one bowl of bloodline, a few months of recovery will be enough to restore you. But your two friends will get a new life because of it. Looking at it that way, Jared, this isn't a losing deal for you."

One bowl of blood?

A cold laugh rose inside him.

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Bloodline made every drop priceless. Each drop carried huge life essence and the power of law within it.

One bowl was enough to remake an ordinary person from the ground up. It could even help a cultivator break through a bottleneck and extend their life.

Alaric made it sound easy.

But the value hidden inside that was far beyond anything normal standards could measure.

Still, Jared had no reason to refuse.

For Sidney and his wife, let alone giving blood, he would have given his life without hesitation.

Jared stayed quiet for a moment, then nodded. "Alright."

A trace of delight flashed through Alaric's eyes. It vanished almost at once, but Jared still caught it.

Alaric quickly said, "Jared, you're truly loyal. I admire that. In that case, I'll go prepare the ritual right now. Please wait here for a moment. We'll begin shortly."

He rose to his feet and turned to leave.

Jared remained seated in the hidden chamber, watching Alaric's back as he walked away. Something unreadable moved through his eyes.

What Alaric had shown when he heard the words "a bowl of blood" had been far too obvious.

That flash in his eyes had stood out too clearly for Jared to ignore.

It hadn't looked like a man who had just found help.

It had looked like a hunter spotting prey already caught in the trap, with greed and anticipation laid bare in his gaze.

"Is it really just a bowl of blood?"

The question turned over in Jared's mind.

The Celestial Basilica claimed to be a holy land of the righteous path, so why were they this fixated on his bloodline? There had to be something else buried underneath it.

But at this point, he had no other choice.

Sidney and his wife were hanging by a thread.

All he could do was gamble once.

If Sidney and his wife's soul and sense were truly gone, then no method in the world would be able to restore them.

So he could only gamble that the Celestial Basilica would keep its word, and gamble that Alaric really was a respected Senior of the righteous path.

Even if he knew perfectly well there was a pit of fire in front of him, he still had to jump for his brother's sake.

A short while later, the door to the hidden chamber opened again.

Elder Cillian walked in.

Two Basilica disciples followed behind him, each carrying ritual tools in their hands.
