Catalina’s words prompted Jared to give her a second glance as he wondered about her true identity. How could she possibly show, no interest in these celestial techniques?
However, Jared wasn’t particularly interested. After all, the various cultivation techniques he had learned were taught by beings from the celestial realm.
Focus Technique was a top-tier cultivation technique in the celestial realm.
Cultivation techniques like Sacred Light Fist, various divine markings, and Nethersky Eye were all incredibly impressive.
Jared didn’t actually need to follow the records on the massive rocks to learn any techniques. If he truly wanted to learn, Vermilion Demon Lord was far more proficient than those immortals.
After all, he was a figure from the eighth level of the celestial realm, far beyond the reach of any ordinary immortal.
“It’s just some ordinary immortal-level cultivation techniques. I’m not really interested. Let’s continue searching for other magical items,” Jared said with a smile.
Jared’s words left Catalina slightly taken aback. She couldn’t help but give Jared a once-over, her gaze filled with curiosity. This only piqued her interest in Jared’s identity even more.
At that moment, Catalina and Jared were greatly intrigued by each other’s identities.
However, neither of them felt inclined to reveal themselves.
The two of them had only just met. They weren’t close enough to share their deepest secrets yet.
Upon hearing Jared and Catalina’s words, Cloud, Judith, and Rightblind were nearly driven to their wits’ end.
Just because these two weren’t interested in these cultivation techniques didn’t mean they weren’t as well.
However, given that Jared had already spoken, it wasn’t appropriate for Cloud or Judith to say anything further.
“Since you’re not interested, let’s not waste any more time here…”
After Catalina finished speaking, she went on ahead.
Jared trailed behind, and the others reluctantly followed.
Jared looked at Catalina intently. Given the presence of an illusion array here, it was highly likely that Catalina wouldn’t be able to find her way out.
But to his surprise, Catalina weaved through the massive rocks and managed to emerge from the illusion array.
Is she an array master too?
Did she notice the arcane array within the massive rocks?
Jared quickly caught up with Catalina, but he didn’t know where to begin asking.
If he were to speak up, he would reveal his discovery of the illusion array within the massive rocks. If Catalina were to question why he hadn’t informed her earlier, it would put him in an awkward situation.
Still, Jared secretly desired to know whether Catalina was truly an array master or not.
Just as Jared was caught in a dilemma, unsure of how to broach the subject, Catalina suddenly halted. With a playful expression, she looked at Jared and asked, “Did you notice the illusion array within the massive rocks?”
“Huh…” Jared was taken aback, but then he nodded in affirmation.
“I realized some time ago that you had already found the illusion array and chose to keep it from me. Were you planning to wait until I got trapped in it, just to swoop in and show off in front of me?” Catalina asked straightforwardly.
Jared was left utterly flustered, his face turning bright red. He didn’t know what to do.
He had indeed harbored such thoughts. He believed that when the time came, Catalina and the others would start to take him seriously, and he could finally show off.
But now, his attempt to show off had backfired, leaving him humiliated.
“Ms. Lantz, are you an array master too?” Jared asked awkwardly.
“Of course not, I don’t understand anything about arcane arrays…”
Catalina shook her head.
“Huh?” Jared was stunned. “Then how…”
Jared wondered how Catalina had managed to escape the illusion array without any knowledge of arcane arrays.
Without any knowledge of arcane arrays, how was she able to unlock the entrance to the Celestial Battlefield?
Catalina flashed a smile and spread open her right hand, allowing Jared to glance at the runes on her palm. After that, she continued on her way, still wearing a smile.
Jared instantly understood that it was all because of the runes on Catalina’s palm.
He couldn’t help but wonder who had inscribed the runes on her palm. They seemed omnipotent, almost magical.
