A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1240

Chapter 1240 A Pure Spiritual Energy

After Cecilia left, Jared exited the room and explored the ancient palace. He had decided to check that place out before leaving.

He strolled around aimlessly and eventually came to the back of the palace, where there was a mountain of rocks. At the foot of it was a crystal-clear stream that flowed into a mid-size lake with abundant spiritual energy.

Ah! I guess that’s why Crimson Palace feels like it has a lot of spiritual energy.

“It’s rare to see streams that carry spiritual energy, though,” he remarked, bending down to scoop some water from the lake to drink.

A taste of the refreshing and sweet water made Jared feel rejuvenated.

“Nice, although it’s still weird to see streams with spiritual water.”Playvolume

Jared examined the water and trailed its source up the mountain.

After some time, he finally found the end of the stream in a cave in the middle of the mountain.

A mild wind blew from within when he stood at the cave entrance. It carried rich spiritual energy, and Jared felt energized when he smelled it.

He looked into the pitch-dark hole and gestured some hand seals to summon a ball of spiritual fire to light up the place.

Once he could see a visible path, Jared walked in, going all the way down the hole until he eventually came to its end, where a massive stone blocked his advance.

When Jared looked closer, he realized the stream water was flowing out from the gap underneath the rock.

This means there’s still a path behind this rock!

Golden lights circled Jared’s fists as he looked at the boulder.

He punched hard at the rock, but nothing happened.

Not a single crack was seen on the exterior.

Jared was delighted. Perhaps I can break through the Nascent Soul phase with this pure spiritual energy and reach the Martial Arts Marquis rank soon.

With this realization, Jared quickly shut his eyes and started cultivating.

He had completely forgotten that Cecilia had asked him to leave Crimson Palace after two days.

Meanwhile, Cecilia was in the hall meeting several elders who were dressed in white.

All of them looked distressed, especially Cecilia.

“Lady Jingle, we only have three more days until the deadline Peyton gave. If no one is here to deliver us, Crimson Palace can only fight to our death,” one of the elders uttered.

“Has there been any response to the announcement after we put it up the other day?” Cecilia asked.

The elders looked at each other and shook their heads.
