“Mr. Whalreth?”
Jared was shocked, his eyes widening. From the very beginning, Jared had found the middle-aged man rather peculiar. The man had sat motionless in front of the stall, leaving a deep impression on Jared.
Was the middle-aged man a manifestation of Mr. Whalreth, or did Mr. Whalreth’s soul remnant possess the body of the middle-aged man?
When Mr. Whalreth escaped from the Pentacarna Tower, he was nothing more than a soul remnant. It was indeed challenging to rush to the Ethereal Realm and restore his physical form.
If it’s impossible to restore the physical body, one could choose a person and directly attach the soul remnant to that individual.
Jared had a feeling that this was what happened to Whalreth.
Upon seeing Jared’s expression, Hadad hurriedly said, “I merely mentioned that this item was used by Whalreth, but it doesn’t necessarily mean he gave it to you. Don’t let your imagination run wild.”
“It’s just that the soul remnant of Mr. Whalreth has returned to the Ethereal Realm. However, it’s uncertain where he currently resides, or whether he has managed to restore his physical form.”
“Do you think it’s that easy to restore the physical body? If it wasn’t for my direct arrival at the Phantom Valley, it would have been extremely difficult to restore my physical body. You must understand that restoring the physical body and living again is against Heaven’s Laws. Not everyone can achieve it.”
Upon hearing this, Jared became even more certain that the middle-aged man who had sold him the timepiece must have been Whalreth.
“It seems that Mr. Whalreth was the one who sold me the timepiece. I really wish I had the chance to see him again.”
“I’m not going to talk to you anymore. I’m going to cultivate and recover as soon as possible. Don’t forget to take care of this for me, and make sure no one disturbs me.”
Hadad returned to the cave to resume his cultivation.
Jared leaped down from halfway up the mountain, his gaze falling upon the deceased telepathic beasts. Then, he turned his attention to the dense sea of skeletal remains.
He cast a beam of light onto the skeletal remains on the ground. They began to quiver and gradually gathered to transform into a colossal skull.
Jared glanced at the skull, nodding in satisfaction, before he dashed toward the entrance of the Phantom Valley.
