The man frowned upon hearing Jared’s explanation, his eyes turning extremely icy. That startled Jared, who thought he had said something wrong.
“I can’t believe someone actually dared to use a forbidden technique of the celestials secretly… They’re trying to destroy the entire Celestial Palace!” the man growled. The man’s anger began to rise, and the surrounding void started to twist and deform under that surge of wrath.
Jared didn’t know anything about the celestials’ forbidden techniques, but it seemed that he had been targeted, which was why this had happened.
“Sir, this has nothing to do with me, does it?” Jared asked cautiously.
“It has nothing to do with you. However, the fact that you survived this forbidden technique proves that it is fate. I can send you away from here. Normally, no one can survive this forbidden technique,” the man slowly said.
“Thank you, sir…” Jared was overjoyed.
“You should recover your physical body first. Your body has been destroyed. If you leave like this, you will be nothing more than a wisp of a soul,” the man said.
After speaking, he made a gentle grasping motion with his hand, and countless specks of light began to converge on Jared’s body.
Jared’s physical body, which had been utterly burned by flames, began to slowly recover.
At that moment, the distant edge of the starry sky suddenly trembled.
Following that, countless flame meteors descended in a sweeping wave. The sight was terrifying, and Jared’s face paled.
The man merely cast a cold glance at the meteors and casually threw a punch forward.
Boom!
Under this punch, the countless flame meteors instantly turned into dust, scattering like fireworks. Utterly shocked, Jared gulped and asked, “Sir, what was that just now?”
“You don’t need to concern yourself with it, just focus on recovering your physical body for now,” the man replied, not giving Jared a chance to be a busybody.
Jared closed his mouth, knowing that some matters were not for him to know or control. He began to sit cross-legged and slowly worked on recovering his physical body.
Meanwhile, the man scrutinized Jared. Upon seeing Jared’s physical body recover slowly, he said, “The sword intent within you is very pure. Are you a swordsman?”
“Not exactly, I do use swords frequently, but it’s not my only form of attack.” Jared shook his head.
“Then you must specialize in swords. Moreover, your sword intent is quite diverse. You weren’t taught by just one person,” the man noted.
Seeing that the man also knew swordsmanship, Jared said, “Sir, I hope you can offer me some guidance…”
The man laughed and replied, “It was merely a casual remark. I don’t know much about swords…”
With that, Jared stopped pressing on and asked instead, “Sir, my physical body has recovered. Can you send me away now?”
“Of course, I can. However, your physical body is still very weak right now. You need to strengthen it first, otherwise your body still won’t be able to last and will eventually vanish,” the man said, nodding.
Jared frowned slightly. “Sir, how should I go about strengthening my physical body, then?”
After all, Jared didn’t even know the location of the void, had no resources, and couldn’t even detect a single trace of celestial energy. There was no way for him to strengthen his physical body.
The man simply pointed toward the depths of the starry sky. “Do you know what place that is?”
Jared looked over. It was completely pitch-black, a darkness so absolute it was terrifying, like an endless abyss that even spiritual sense couldn’t penetrate.
“I don’t know. My spiritual sense can’t pierce through that area!” Jared shook his head. “That is the Null-Extinction Realm, a realm with no life or death…” the man slowly explained.
“No life or death?” Jared frowned. He didn’t quite understand the meaning of that phrase, but he still asked, “Sir, have you been to that place?”
The man shook his head. “I haven’t. My strength is not yet sufficient to reach that place…”
