Chapter 3012 Shame


    Upon 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 viin they had encountered, gazing at him.


    Beau shouted because he had mistaken this elderly man for the old viin, 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 simrly taken aback.


    Jared was the only one who became excited when he spotted the elderly man and rushed over to


    thetter.


    “I''m thrilled to see you, sir!” Jared''s eyes filled with joy as he approached the old man.


    The elderly man red at Jared with a stern expression and asked, “Didn''t I advise you not to


    proceed and be greedy?”


    “I...” 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 ce


    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.


    Jared 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 revtion 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 treasurend 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 n leaders must adhere to. If no onees 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 ce. It''s a pity


    that things have turned out this way...”
