Sunny, who had been at Jared's side and saved by him on multiple occasions, had already. come to
consider himself part of Jared's family. As such, he believed that he, of all people, should be the first to
volunteer at that moment.
"No need. This time, I'll go first. Since I created the vortex, I have a better understanding of what's
inside than all of you. Besides, a standard Death Trap Formation can't harm me when I have the Golem
Body," Jared declared before charging straight into the vortex.
After Jared vanished into the vortex, Sunny and the others followed closely behind. Cameron was the
last to enter the vortex.
In truth, Cameron didn't have complete confidence in Jared, which was why he entered last. If there
were indeed dangers within the vortex, he could extricate himself anytime.
Immediately after Jared entered the vortex, he was greeted by a hazy scene ahead. It felt as though he
had stepped into a Teleportation Array. His movements were constrained, and he couldn't employ his

All he could discern were blinding white lights flashing before him, and the only sound he could
perceive was the ceaseless breeze. Only after a prolonged period, when the wind's sound finally
ceased, did he open his eyes.
When he did, he realized he was in a canyon, and deep within it stood a thatched cottage.
The canyon was enveloped by lush greenery. creating a picturesque scene, especially against the
backdrop of the clear, blue sky. Anyone who set foot in this place would feel comfortable and
rejuvenated.
In contrast to the previous space within the altar, which had been predominantly gray, their new
surroundings could be likened to heaven on earth.
However, despite the incredible environment, there wasn't a single soul in sight, giving the place a
desolate and eerie ambiance. Jared released his spiritual sense, hoping to detect the elder's aura.
Unfortunately, he was met with failure.
"Wow. This place is stunning!" Kaison couldn't contain his amazement as he surveyed the lush
surroundings. Living in the far north, where snow covered the land, he rarely had the opportunity to
witness. such a magnificent sight.
The other cultivators were equally astonished as they gazed upon their new surroundings. They all
concurred that the new location they had arrived at was far more visually pleasing than the previous
one.
"Is that the cottage you mentioned, Mr. Chance?" asked Cloud as he pointed at the thatched cottage
not too far from them.
"That's right, but I don't sense the aura of that elder. I'm not sure if he's still inside," Jared said before
proceeding toward the cottage. Seeing that, the others followed suit.
Upon entering the cottage, Jared scanned the interior and found that nothing had changed, except that
the various technique scrolls for Archaic Body Cultivation and the magical items were now stored inside

as he studied the building.
Cameron scrutinized the thatched cottage and said, "All that remains of him is his soul remnant. It has
been many years, and perhaps, one day, even his soul remnant will vanish. He's fortunate to have a
thatched roof over his head. Once his soul remnant disappears, this world will likely crumble and cease
to exist as well."
"In that case, why did that old geezer from earlier have a palace and an altar? Why did he make his
place so extravagant?" Kaison was perplexed. He's also a soul remnant, likely on the brink of
dissipation. Yet, he went to great lengths to create such a complex world!
"It's because he has been preparing to restore his physical body. Why else would he invest so much
time in constructing his world? He used various incentives to entice us to the altar. The cultivators who
perished will ultimately become the resources he needs to reconstruct his physical form," Jared
explained.
"That old b*stard really is evil!" Kaison gritted his teeth. Suddenly, a startled cry echoed from outside
the thatched cottage, jolting Jared and his companions.
