“Reviving shouldn’t be a huge issue, but I need to consult first. After all, your wife has been dead for almost a thousand years. However, since Mr. Sanders has the ability to instantly resurrect those whose body and soul were destroyed, reviving your wife should not be an issue,” Jared responded.
“If even someone whose body and soul were destroyed could be brought back to life, reviving my wife should certainly be possible. Hurry up and get in touch with this Mr. Sanders!” The black-robed man was growing impatient.
“I can’t get in touch with Mr. Sanders at the moment, but I’m confident that he’ll eventually reach out to me. When that happens, I’ll be able to ask for you.” Jared told the black-robed man the truth.
Arthur had always shown himself unannounced, and Jared had never known where Arthur was.
“If there‘s a chance to bring my wife back to life, I‘ll willingly sacrifice my cultivation, even my own life!” The black-robed man seemed somewhat agitated.
“Men as devoted as you are truly rare in this world. If your wife is looking down from above, would certainly be comforted,” Jared lamented.
The black-robed man shook his head. “I’m a villain. It was I who caused my wife’s death.”
“You caused your wife’s death?” Jared was taken aback.
How could such a passionately devoted man possibly bring harm to his own wife?
The black-robed man gave a nod, then slowly removed his cloak.
He was gaunt, his body thin as a stick, and his complexion was extremely pale, reminiscent of a vampire. “My wife and l were childhood sweethearts, cultivating together, climbing mountains together, even bathing together…”
“My wife’s talent surpassed mine. She was always one step ahead of me. Later on, we got married, becoming dual cultivation partners. Despite my wife‘s constant support, I could never surpass in any aspect. Gradually, my male chauvinism began to show…”
“Seeing my wife’s strength surpassing my own, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of discontent. Later on, I secretly practiced demonic technique, hoping to surpass my wife with its power. Indeed, as time went on, I surpassed my wife. My strength was increasing at an astounding rate, but my entire mindset was changed, and my rationality was consumed. To cultivate, I consumed the blood of innocent people. I had turned into a monster!”
The black-robed man paused before continuing, “My wife finally noticed something was off with me. So, during our dual cultivation, forcibly absorbed the demonic power within me. In the end, to prevent herself from turning into a demon, damaged soul, leaving behind only physical body…”
“I came to a realization… Gazing upon my wife’s physical body, I was filled with regret, but it was all too late. It’s been nearly a thousand years, yet my physical body still suffers from the corruption of demonic technique and has yet to fully recover. My wife could also never speak another word to me. All I can do is watch in silence every day.”
As the man spoke, tears began to stream down his face incessantly.
Jared wasn’t sure how to comfort him. He reckoned perhaps only those who had gone through such an experience could truly understand the depth of that pain.
“What’s your name? I don’t even know how to address you yet. I’ll do my best to help you. With physical body preserved, resurrecting your wife shouldn’t be too difficult,” Jared said.
“My name is Sidney Morse.” With that, Sidney gently waved his hand, and his wife’s body was placed into the storage ring. “I’ll go with you…”
After casting a glance around the room, Sidney made a sweeping gesture with his hand, and the entire room was instantly engulfed in a sea of flames.
Jared followed Sidney, returning to the main hall once again.
“Let’s go,” Jared said to Ararat and the others.
Subsequently, the party left the fourth level.
At that moment, the fourth level of Celestial Stairway had already been closed off, ceasing to exist.
“Mr. Chance, are you still heading to the fifth floor?” Sidney asked.
“For now, I won’t be going. I have more important matters to attend to,” Jared replied, pulling out a documentation device.
This was the fourth documentation device from the Heaven and Earth Array, and at that moment, it was emanating a faint glow.
Jared knew that the fourth documentation device was about to be unlocked. He was aware that once unlocked this fourth documentation device, the Heaven and Earth Array would reveal itself.
