Upon hearing Montane Daemon's words, Cloud heaved a sigh of relief. He was glad to learn that Jared was unharmed.
After all, Jared had gone over for him. If something unfortunate were to occur to Jared, he would be overwhelmed with guilt.
There were no treasures to be found, only numerous corpses scattered throughout the area. Strict rules were enforced for those within the vicinity, prohibiting flight. Without the discovery of an exit, they risked becoming trapped in that place.
Fortunately, no malevolent spirits lurked in the vicinity. A spirit spring, allowing the absorption of spiritual energy, also helped maintain order and prevent the potential outbreak of chaos. Otherwise, given the number of people trapped there, chaos would have erupted long ago.
Three days later, Jared quietly absorbed the last trace of the draconic energy. Although he had been absorbing spiritual energy and increasing his strength, his level remained at Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm.
However, he was in no rush to progress to the next level. In fact, he had deliberately held himself back. At this moment, he had reached the peak of Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm. Whenever necessary, he could ascend to the sixth or even the seventh level at any time!
Thanks to the draconic essence, the draconic energy was stored within it. At first glance, Jared's cultivation level did not appear to have progressed, but his strength had undergone at substantial enhancement.
"Are you deliberately suppressing your cultivation level?" the middle-aged man asked, his tone composed.
"I just want to avoid drawing too much attention. I entered this place when I was at Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm. If I suddenly progress to the sixth or even seventh level, I'm certain people will be curious about what I've gained here. That will make me a target for everyone," Jared explained with a slight smile.
