A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4690

Jared narrowed his eyes, skepticism written all over his face. “Are you messing with me? Even if an immortal had passed through this realm, it's impossible they left any treasures behind. And besides, why would an immortal bother with a low-level plane like ours?”

At Jared's words, Octavion let out a chuckle. “Who said the immortal's cave was in the Ethereal Realm?”

Jared blinked in surprise. “It's not here? Then where?”

Octavion simply lifted a finger and pointed toward the sky.

“The Celestial Realm? Are you saying this Immortal's dwelling is in the Celestial Realm?” Jared stared at Octavion in disbelief before his tone edged with irritation. “Are you messing with me? At my current level, who knows when I'll even be able to ascend? What's the point of telling me this?”

This was nothing more than chasing rainbows—pursuing something so far out of reach that it bordered on the absurd. And yet, Octavion had the audacity to bring it up, even offering to share the treasure with him.

Octavion raised an eyebrow at Jared, clearly surprised. “What? Don't you know? Ascension isn't the only way to enter the Celestial Realm.”

Jared frowned, confusion flickering across his face. “Then how else would I get there?”

“You seriously don't know?” Octavion fixed Jared with an intense stare.

“Just tell me! I don't have time for this!” Jared snapped, his impatience mounting.

Unbeknownst to Octavion, Jared was well aware of the Heaven and Earth Array. In fact, the strange disturbances that happened were his doing.

“I get what you're saying,” Jared said, a slight frown forming. “But wouldn't that mean anyone could just climb the stairway and leave the Ethereal Realm for the Celestial Realm?”

Back then, Divinus had told him about the Heaven and Earth Array but never mentioned the Celestial Stairway. Even the celestial cultivators trapped in the Ethereal Realm had never brought it up.

If such a shortcut exists, why hasn't anyone used it?
