Chapter 3012: Shame

Chapter 3012: ShameUpon hearing the shout, Jared and the others. rushed out of the building. When they emerged, they
found Beau standing. there, visibly shocked. Before him stood an elderly man, identical to the previous
old villain. they had encountered, gazing at him.
Beau shouted because he had mistaken this elderly man for the old villain, believing that he had caught
up to them.
However, the aura of this elderly man was distinct from the other one. He didn’t exude an intimidating
or overpowering presence. That was why Beau swiftly calmed back down.
When the others spotted the elderly man, they were similarly taken aback. Jared was the only one who
became excited when he spotted the elderly man and rushed over to the latter.
“I’m thrilled to see you, sir!” Jared’s eyes filled with joy as he approached the old man. The elderly man
glared at Jared with a stern expression and asked, “Didn’t I advise you not to proceed and be greedy?”
“…” Ashamed, Jared told him the truth. “I needed the Ice Soul Pill to save someone’s life. That’s why I
had no other option.”
The old man sighed with concern. “You people have gone to great lengths, even fighting and killing
each other, all for the sake of obtaining. treasure, only to lose your lives in the process. In the end,
someone else reaps the rewards, rendering all your efforts futile. If not for people like you, this place
would have crumbled within. years, and we would have all vanished forever. Yet now, you’ve caused
such a catastrophic event.”
“Why are you here, sir? Why did the power within the deceased cultivators transform into white light
instead of dissipating? Moreover, why were those white lights drawn away by a mysterious force?
What’s happening?” inquired Jared.“I suppose fate brought all of you here. Come with me,” the elderly man said, and with that, he strolled
deeper into the canyon. Jared and the others promptly followed behind.
As the elderly man waved his hand, the group felt as though they had stepped into another world, one
saturated with a somber and eerie atmosphere. They instantly panicked, unsure where the elderly man
was leading them.
novelbinJared also noticed that this world appeared to impose limitations on them. They couldn’t employ their
techniques or spiritual senses; all they could do was advance on foot, relying on their primal energy.
“Every space that you see here isn’t actually. real. That’s why the power of the deceased cultivators
doesn’t dissipate as it would. outside. In actuality, my brother has absorbed the power of the deceased
cultivators using the Ice Soul Pill. Once the pill has absorbed enough power and transforms into a
Heavenly Pearl, he’ll be able to reconstruct his physical body with it. Although this process will cause
him to lose a portion of his strength, he will essentially be reborn. Consequently, he won’t be
constrained anymore. All of you treasure hunters are essentially walking resources, marching straight
into his trap,” the elderly man elucidated.
Jared wasn’t overly surprised by this revelation because he had already deduced it, but he still
harbored some confusion. “Since you are aware that your younger brother is attempting to resurrect
himself, sir, why haven’t you stopped him? Why not take the Ice Soul Pill and resurrect yourself?”
After all, the two brothers were currently nothing more than soul remnants, sharing the same space.
The elder could have seized the Ice Soul Pill to reconstruct his physical body.
As the elderly man spoke, he shook his head. with remorse. “I was the one who gifted him the Ice Soul
Pill. I believed that even if it was in his possession, he couldn’t reconstruct his physical body. That’s
because this so-called treasure land is only known to us, the Archaic Body cultivators. No Archaic Body
cultivator is permitted to disclose its location or visit it.This is an unbreakable rule of the Archaic Body cultivators that all our clan leaders must adhere to. If
no one comes here, the Ice Soul Pill won’t absorb anything, and thus, no one can resurrect themselves
with it. In a few hundred more years, our soul remnants will reach their limits, fading away along with
this place. It’s a pity. that things have turned out this way…”
