Lamar approached Jared and reminded him, “Today is the final day of the competition. Aren’t you making a move?
If you don’t take action, you won’t win three matches. In that case,. Zahrin Sect will take over most of the resources
from the Gunderson family.”
“Lamar, Mr. Chance has just recovered and isn’t fit for the competition. It doesn’t matter if we lose. The Gunderson
family will uphold its words and give up the resources,” Chester replied on Jared’s behalf.
“That’s good. I’m relieved to hear that.” Lamar then left the scene with a smug expression. Unwilling to give away
the resources without putting up a fight, Jared suggested, “Great Elder, why don’t we-”
Before he completed his sentence, however, Chester interrupted, “Mr. Chance, your health is of utmost
importance. Those resources are just a trivial matter. If we lose them, we can always find alternatives.”
Jared nodded in agreement. Now that he had. control over the demon beasts in Demon Beast Mountain, he could

“Jared, after the Secret Realm Conference has ended, I’ll bring you to the Gate of Thunder for a visit. Our realm is
even more powerful than the Gate of Fire,” Hailey offered.
Jared wanted to accept Hailey’s invitation. After all, his main purpose for befriending her was to access Violet Cloud
Palace to find out more about his mother. However, after the Secret Realm Conference concluded, he needed to
return to the mundane world to resolve unfinished business. Josephine and the others were still trapped in Divine
Quest Sect’s secret realm, and he had to find a way to rescue them.
Additionally, he had to make a trip to the hidden realm, and he was armed with an ancient ruins map that could
potentially enhance his power.
Only by attaining greater strength would Jared be capable of traversing the Eight Major Secret Realms. Even if he
were to venture to Violet Cloud Palace at this moment and uncover the truth about his mother’s whereabouts, he
wasn’t confident of rescuing her successfully.
Hence, he decided to reject Hailey’s invitation. “Perhaps we can visit the place in due time. Once the Secret Realm
Conference concludes, I must return to the mundane world as I’ve some unfinished business.”
“All right, then. Once you’re done with your tasks, make sure to find me. I’ll share with you the entrance location
and the incantation for the Gate of Thunder,” Hailey whispered into Jared’s ear, sharing the valuable information
with him.
Knowing the entrance location and incantation was crucial for any secret realm, and the fact that Hailey entrusted
this knowledge to Jared indicated her deep affection for him.
Claus grew increasingly envious as he saw Hailey and Jared chatting merrily. With Sigwin’s ultimate victory, the
Secret Realm Conference came to a close. Once again, he claimed the top spot on the Supreme Honor Rankings.
However, Jared was the dark horse in this competition. Had he not been injured and faced Sigwin, the final outcome
would have been uncertain.

Although Jared’s cultivation level was not exceptionally high, the magical items he possessed were impressive. The
Dragon Bell, in particular, trapped the demonic Windshadow, rendering him immobile and eventually reducing him
to a pulp. If Sigwin had been the one trapped within the Dragon Bell, the result might have been the same.
“Mr. Yuchamore, the competition has ended. I believe it’s time to officially announce the end of the Secret Realm
Conference,” Angus said respectfully. Quindon nodded as he stood on the elevated platform. He glanced at the
crowd before preparing to declare the end of the conference.
However, before he could speak, the ground began to shake. Suddenly, an immense vortex of spiritual energy
emerged from the ground and into the sky.
Within the vortex, a mesmerizing dance of shimmering lights intertwined with the roaring of chaotic currents.
Waves of pure spiritual energy continued to surge from within the vortex, leaving everyone awestruck as they felt
the purity of the energy.
“T-This signifies the opening of a new secret realm,” Chester exclaimed with excitement.
