However, Jared’s eyes remained clear. He was using his bloodline to suppress the lethal intent within him.
Suddenly, a beam of golden light shot up from Jared’s body, accompanied by the sound of dragon roars. The murderous intent surrounding Jared began to subside, and the lethal intent wrapping around slowly dissipated.
Seeing that the murderous intent had faded, Madman finally dared to approach him.
Looking at Madman’s expression, Jared couldn’t help but smile and said, “Sir, I’m really sorry for scaring you…”
“D*mn, you really scared me there…” Madman let out a long sigh of relief after confirming Jared was truly unharmed.
If Jared had been overtaken by the lethal intent and turned on him, wasn’t sure could have handled it.
“Sir, are there any other places in the purgatory with an even denser concentration of lethal intent?” Jared asked.
“No, no, there aren’t. I’ve been here for hundreds of years…” Madman quickly shook his head.
Even if knew of another place, wouldn’t dare take Jared there. It was far too dangerous. If Jared went berserk, he’d be the one to suffer for it.
“In that case, I need to refine the lethal intent in my body and fully absorb it. Please excuse me, sir…” Jared took out the Pentacarna Tower, planning to enter it to cultivate and completely absorb the lethal energy within him.
Although Jared was fine for now, it was only because was suppressing the energy with his bloodline.
“What’s that thing?” Madman asked curiously.
“Just a little tower. Would you like to come in and take a look, sir?” Jared offered.
“Can I?” Madman asked, clearly intrigued.
“Of course,” Jared replied, then took Madman with into the Pentacarna Tower.
“This tower of yours doesn’t seem to have anything in it. It’s completely empty. What’s so great about it?” Madman looked confused.
“Sir, just focus on cultivating here. When we come out, you’ll understand what’s so special about it…”
With that, Jared sat down cross-legged and ignored Madman.
Seeing this, Madman also set down and began to cultivate.
***
In the blink of an eye, dozens of days passed.
Jared completely absorbed the lethal intent, and his strength reached Top Level Immortal Realm Level Nine, just one step away from breaking through to the Wandering Immortal Realm.
“I wonder if, after reaching the Wandering Immortal Realm, I’ll still be able to progress this quickly,” Jared said with a sigh.
“This tower of yours doesn’t even have any resources or celestial energy. Cultivating here is so dull,” Madman grumbled when saw Jared had finished his cultivation.
Jared merely chuckled, not uttering a word. Instead, departed from the Pentacarna Tower with Madman.
At that moment, Maceo had been watching as Jared and Madman entered the tower, but just a few hours later, they emerged again.
Madman hadn’t noticed anything strange, so asked, “We’re out already? There’s nothing special. Aren’t we still in the same place?”
Jared gave a faint smile and asked, “Sir, how long do you think we spent cultivating inside the tower?”
Madman frowned slightly and said, “Must’ve been dozens of days and nights, right?”
Jared nodded. “Exactly. We really did spend dozens of days and nights inside, but out here, only a few hours have passed.”
“What?” Madman exclaimed. “You’re not joking, right? This tower of yours is a time magical item? It can alter the flow of time?”
“One year outside equals a hundred years inside the tower,” Jared said.
“D*mn!” Madman was stunned. “So you’re saying, I’ve spent hundreds of years in the purgatory, but if I’d had your tower, I’d only need a few years to do the same?”
“Exactly…” Jared nodded.
“What the heck, no wonder you’re this powerful at such a young age. With a treasure like that, others spend years painstakingly cultivating, while you’ve effectively trained for centuries. This thing is insane!” Madman stared at the Pentacarna Tower in Jared’s hand, his eyes filled with envy.
