Octavion gently pressed his long sword, then turned to Jared and said, “You’re not a Demonic Cultivator. Your demonic fire isn’t pure.”
“Oh, how did you know?”
Jared was somewhat taken aback.
His demonic fire wasn’t pure, as it was the result of his fire fusion technique.
Little did he expect Octavion to see right through it in just one glance.
“I’ve seen pure demonic fire before, and it didn’t look like this,” said Octavion.
Jared’s brow furrowed slightly. He hadn’t expected that someone from Celestial Palace had somehow crossed paths with Inferno Devil.
“Is Arthur, who supports you, a demon?” Octavion inquired.
Since Jared had mastered demonic fire, it was highly likely that the one backing him was a Demon Cultivator.
Jared shook his head. “No.”
“Who is he then?”
Octavion was eager to find out just who was this person who had the power to kill Tavon and then bring him back to life.
Killing Tavon wasn’t a big deal. When it truly came down to it, he too had the capability of slaying Tavon.
Despite both individuals being at Top Level Ultimate Realm Level Nine, Octavion was, the son of the Tenth Hall overlord.
The sword he held in his hand was not something that a mere subordinate like Tavon would never possess.
Despite being at the same cultivation level, the experience and magical items both men used were vastly different.
Nevertheless, killing Tavon and then reviving him was simply out of this world. Even Tennyson, the overlord of Tenth Hall, couldn’t pull it off.
“I don’t know.” Jared continued to shake his head.
Octavion’s brow furrowed, his gaze fixed intently on Jared. “Don’t you know who your patron is?”
Octavion was somewhat skeptical, as Arthur was known to have taken Jared under his wing.
How could Jared possibly not know his patron’s identity?
Yet Jared remained silent, for he was genuinely clueless about who it was.
In the past, Jared was incredibly curious about it, always yearning to unravel the mystery of Arthur’s identity.
However, Jared had now given up on finding the truth. All he knew was that Arthur was one of the kindest people he had ever met, and that was all that mattered.
“I really don’t know.” Jared shook his head again.
Octavion looked at Jared, refraining from asking further. Regardless of whether Jared genuinely didn’t know or simply didn’t want to share, Octavion understood that pressing on would lead nowhere.
“You’re not a cultivator from the Ethereal Realm, are you?” Octavion suddenly asked.
Jared was taken aback for a moment, then promptly nodded in confirmation.
He couldn’t comprehend how Octavion had managed to discern the difference between him and the cultivators of Ethereal Realm.
No one had ever doubted that he wasn’t one.
Yet Octavion figured it out the first time he saw Jared.
The latter was naturally awed by how keen Octavion’s eye was.
“Do you want to know how I figured it out?” Octavion inquired.
Jared remained silent, his face devoid of any emotion. He refused to let Octavion manipulate him with words.
Seeing that Jared did not respond, Octavion continued, “The reason is that a prodigy like you wouldn’t exist in Ethereal Realm, much less a cultivator who fights beyond his level. You’re at Ultimate Realm Level Two. Even if you’re a genius, defeating those in the Level Three or Four of Ultimate Realm was still unthinkable. But you were able to kill a cultivator at Top Level Ultimate Realm Level Nine. A freak like you would never exist in Ethereal Realm.”
Octavion spoke with immense confidence, and observing Octavion’s self-assured demeanor, all Jared could do was offer a smile.
As a member of the divine clan, Octavion was arguably the most restrained when it came to his pride.
After all, the celestials were known for their incredible arrogance. If anyone else had come, they wouldn’t have bothered conversing with Jared. Instead, they would have just started fighting straight away.
“It’s your turn to ask questions now. Only then would it be fair,” Octavion said to Jared.
“What kind of organization is Celestial Palace? And what is its objective?” Jared asked.
Jared was immensely intrigued by the Celestial Palace, which was composed entirely of celestials. He was eager to uncover the true nature of this organization.
What is their goal, and are they related to the Celestial Battle?
