Unknowingly, Jared suddenly noticed the water in the medicinal pool in front of him was beginning to
change into a different hue, turning light green. That meant he had reached another layer of the
medicinal pool.
He soaked in the light green medicinal pool water, unmoving and not triggering any of his techniques,
yet he could feel countless things pressing toward him from all directions.
That pressure was due to the overly dense spiritual energy diffusing into his body. Jared started to feel
a stuffy sensation in his chest, and his bones were beginning to creak.
Realizing that, he activated Golem Body, and layers of golden scales covered his entire figure.
Subsequently, he closed his eyes and remained motionless in place. At that point, Jared dared not
venture rashly deeper into the pool, so he could only slowly adapt to the surrounding environment.
Endless spiritual energy swirled around him, and his elixir field continuously absorbed all the spiritual
energy that was rushing into his body like a black hole.
Meanwhile, at the surface of the medicinal pool, Viola and Zebediah had already gone ashore and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwere anxiously searching for Jared.
After soaking in the pool for only fifty minutes, Viola successfully broke through Manifestor Realm,
advancing to Body Fusion Realm. Zebediah also persisted for more than half an hour, but in the end,
his body could not bear it anymore, so he went ashore.
However, over an hour after the two got out of the pool, Jared was still nowhere to be seen.
“W-What’s going on? Where did Mr. Chance go? Zebediah was overwrought. He had searched the
entire area around the medicinal pool but didn’t see Jared anywhere. Viola was similarly ill at ease. The
surface of the medicinal pool wasn’t expansive, so how could someone go missing just like that?
Despite their efforts, Viola and Zebediah found no trace of Jared. They knew that even staying near the
medicinal pool for too long could. cause irreversible damage to their bodies.
After all, the spiritual energy there was passively diffusing into their bodies. If their abilities were not up
to par and they couldn’t refine the spiritual energy in time, that would bring about deteriorating effects
on their bodies.
At that instant, Viola and Zebediah had reached their limits. If they stayed any longer, they feared the
repercussions would be dire. “Let’s go. We need to leave this place first.”
Although Viola wanted to keep looking, she knew if they lingered, they probably wouldn’t be able to
leave anymore later. Zebediah could only hastily follow Viola out of the area of the medicinal pool in
resignation.
At the same time, everyone from Emerald Cauldron Sect was still waiting at the entrance since even
elites could last at most an hour or so inside the medicinal pool. Therefore, everyone would normally
just wait outside the entrance.
Hosen and Ebenez didn’t leave either. Although their disciples failed to enter the medicinal pool, and
their faces were even burned beyond recognition, the duo insisted on staying, wanting to see how
Jared was doing for themselves.
Soon, two figures appeared at the entrance. Viola and Zebediah had exited the medicinal pool area.
When Ghaylen saw only the two coming out, he couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned before
hurriedly stepping forward and asking, “Zebediah, where’s Mr. Chance?”
Zebediah glanced at his master, then hung his head in silence. Viola responded, “Jared is missing.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Missing?” Ghaylen widened his eyes in utter disbelief.
“How could he go missing? The medicinal pool isn’t big, and this is the only way in and out.” Ghaylen
couldn’t fathom how a grown man like Jared could enter the medicinal pool and vanish into thin air.
Viola briefly recounted everything that happened after they went into the medicinal pool. After listening
to her story, Ghaylent furrowed his brows. Since Jared is not seen on the surface of the medicinal pool
and hasn’t come out from this path, there’s only one possibility left. He dived to the bottom of the pool!
Hosen and Ebenez, standing at one side, also arrived at a similar conclusion as Ghaylen after hearing
Viola’s account. A person couldn’t just disappear without a trace for no reason. The only explanation
why Jared is nowhere to be found at the pool’s surface is because he plunged into the depths of the
medicinal pool!
“Hmph! This Jared guy really doesn’t know his place. Over two hours have passed now. If he truly
dared venture into the deeper part of the medicinal pool, I reckon he might already have died by now
because his body exploded,” Ebenez chimed in with hints of schadenfreude lacing his tone.
