Chapter 1560 An Ominous Feeling
I’ve been cultivating for such a long time, but I didn’t get any stronger. When can I reach Martial Arts Marquis and marry Renee?
Jared stared at Colin’s abdomen. He could see that the martial energy in Colin’s elixir field had undergone drastic changes. It was just that Colin’s overall power did not reflect that change. “Don’t worry. I think you can reach Martial Arts Marquis very soon,” consoled Jared.
Although he did not know why Colin’s power showed no improvement, he was sure that once they found out the cause, the martial energy in Colin’s elixir field would help him improve in leaps and bounds!
And so, Jared, Flaxseed, and Colin made their way to the nearest temple. At the same time, in the forbidden grounds within the palace, Tigris looked up at the sky with a somber expression.
He mumbled to himself, “Such a terrifying fluctuation of spiritual energy! Are there other experts who managed to break through on Encanta Island?”
Soon, Terrell rushed over upon being summoned. He knelt on the ground as soon as he saw Tigris.
“Tigris, is there anything that you need from me?” he asked. “That Nascent Soul youngster that you mentioned to me before… Has he left the island?” asked Tigris.
“No, he is still on the island. But he hasn’t stepped foot out of his dwelling. I think he has been cultivating…” answered Terrell.
Tigris was silent for a moment before instructing, “Send someone to go and check him out. He may have had a breakthrough again and reached a substantial level. Come and look for me after you’ve found out about his condition.”
“Understood,” replied Terrell with a nod before he left.
Tigris continued looking up at the sky with worry etched on his face.
“Master, when will you come back to life? I have an ominous feeling…” muttered Tigris.
In a temple on Encanta Island, people came to pay their respects. They all seemed to be very devout as they revered the stone statue.
Jared observed the people going in and out of the temple. He found nothing weird about them. Though they were cultivators, they led their lives as if they were ordinary folk. It was as if they did not know they were cultivators. On top of that, no one was obsessed with cultivating and achieving immortality!
Having a strong body and a prolonged lifespan was enough to make these people happy beyond belief. No one thought of becoming immortal.
“Come on. Let’s have a look inside,” said Jared.
He proceeded to enter the temple.
The stone statue was rather normal and had nothing special about it. In addition, it seemed to have darkened due to being constantly surrounded by the smoke from the incense lit around it.
Jared activated his spiritual sense and used it to envelop the stone statue. He prodded around to see if there was anything unusual about the statue.
After a while, he found that the stone statue was made from a normal rock. There was nothing peculiar about it. Jared was stumped.
He stopped a middle-aged man who was passing by and asked, “Hi, sir. Why do you keep worshipping this stone statue? Who does the statue represent?”
The middle-aged man glanced at Jared and answered, “This is the deity of Encanta Island. It is said that this was the individual who built Encanta Island. Since we have benefitted so much from this island, we should pay our respects to the deity.”
After he said that, he ignored Jared and started worshipping the statue.
Right then, a few guards wearing armor came in. They looked fierce and intimidating as they surrounded the trio.
The person who seemed to be the leader was a young man clad in silk and holding a fan. He looked young, but the aura he gave off suggested that he was in no way weak.
Jared scrutinized him and found him to look similar to those rich playboy heirs that one would see in dramas. He looked especially like those who would not survive past two episodes.
“Who are you? Why aren’t you worshipping after entering? To top it off, you even dared to use spiritual sense on the statue?” scolded the young man after giving them a once-over.
It was only then Jared realized that he had attracted their attention by using spiritual sense.
