The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6281

Jared spent another three days recovering in the Celestial Palace.

Over those three days, his body recovered fast.

The power brought by the Heart of the Northern Abyss was still slowly merging into his body.

His cultivation at the Top Level High Immortal Realm Level Seven had completely stabilized, and his chaotic force had grown far more solid than before.

He even found time to test his own limit. With a single sword strike, he could shave off half the summit of the 1,000-yard ice peak outside the Celestial Palace.

Gwendolyn stood beside the ruins of the ice peak and looked at that smooth cut surface, polished like a mirror. She stayed there in silence for a long time.

"If you go all out now, probably no cultivator below True Immortal Realm Level Five can beat you," she said, giving him a fair assessment.

Jared slid his sword back into its sheath. Nothing much showed on his face.

The jump in strength was worth something, sure, but another matter had been hanging over him the whole time.

Cloudhaven City.

Would Skylar make a move on Cloudhaven City while he was away?

Could Roland and Vivian hold the line?

Had Lydia and the others made it back yet?

The questions kept chewing at him like worms that wouldn't stop.

On the morning of the fourth day, Jared went to find Gwendolyn.

She was standing beneath the Worldtree, her head tipped up toward the golden canopy.

Morning light spilled through the gaps in the leaves and fell across her. White clothes like fresh snow, long black hair, the whole of her still enough to pass for a painting.

"I'm leaving," Jared said, getting straight to it.

Gwendolyn didn't turn around, but her shoulders tightened just a little.

The shift was so slight that if Jared's senses hadn't grown so much sharper, he wouldn't have caught it at all.

"Your friend has already been brought back to life and left safely. You really don't have any reason to stay here anymore."

Her voice stayed level, level enough to come off a little cold.

Jared walked up beside her and stopped there, shoulder to shoulder with her.

"I promised you three things. Taking my blood counts as one. Going with you into the Ancient Battlefield counts as one too. There's still one left. Have you decided what you want?"

Gwendolyn finally turned to look at him.

Something moved faintly in those deep eyes.

There was hesitation in it. Resistance too. And one more trace of something Jared couldn't make out.

"I have," she said.

"Say it."

Gwendolyn drew in a deep breath, then turned fully to face him.

"Help me restore the Frost Deity Branch."

Jared froze for a second. "What?"

"I'm the only one left in the Frost Deity Branch now."

Gwendolyn's voice was quiet, but every word landed clean. "Aldric's remnant souls are inside your body. You're the only person in this world with a deep connection to the Ice God Bloodline. If you don't help me, then the Frost Deity Branch is truly finished."

Jared frowned. "How am I supposed to help you? I'm not one of the celestials."

"You have the Ice God Bloodline inside you."

Gwendolyn held his gaze. "After our dual cultivation, the chaotic force in your body already fused with the power of the Frost Deity Branch. If you're willing, you can use that power to awaken more people who carry the hidden genes of the Ice God Bloodline and make them awaken again."

Jared went quiet for a moment.

"When you say awaken them, what exactly do you mean?"

Gwendolyn pulled out the ice-blue jade slip from her sleeve and held it out to him.

"This is the bloodline-sensing art of the Frost Deity Branch.

Once you cultivate it, you'll be able to sense everyone within 10 thousand miles who carries the hidden genes of the Ice God Bloodline.

"Those people are scattered all across the celestial realm. They don't even know Frost Deity Branch blood is flowing inside them.

As long as you find them and use chaotic force to activate the bloodline in their bodies, they can awaken again."
