Jared was even more puzzled after listening to the old man's explanation. Since that was the unbreakable rule, why
did the most recent chief of the Archaic Body cultivators spread the news of the treasure land? Not only that, I was
given the real key to the treasure. He clearly wants me to find it, but why? Also, Jipsdale's countess was the one
who asked me to retrieve the Ice Soul Pill. What's going on?
As Jared pondered the situation further, he came to the realization that he had fallen into a much larger and more
intricate trap. The countess of Jipsdale, the chief of the Archaic Body cultivators, and Mason from the Tall family...
they're all connected!
Initially, the chief of the Archaic Body cultivators claimed to reveal the treasure's location to stir up chaos in the far
north, with the primary aim of preventing the Tall family from seizing the Archaic Body cultivators' territory and
resources.
However, after spending time at the Tall residence, I've come to realize that they aren't actually hostile toward the

cultivators and the Tall family. Since the Ice Soul Pill can reconstruct one's body, the countess of Jipsdale must be
planning to use it to regenerate her own body.
Now, the big question is, how did the countess of Jipsdale learn about the treasure's location and the Ice Soul Pill?
How did she know that the other half of the emerald badge was needed to form the real key to the treasure? What
is the relationship between the countess of Jipsdale and the Archaic Body cultivators? How did she become aware
of the Ice Soul Pill's existence among the treasure? And finally, what role does the Tall family play in all of this? I'm
utterly baffled...
"Since the Archaic Body cultivators have a rule forbidding its members from revealing the location of the treasure,
why is it still leaked anyway?" inquired Jared.
The elderly man answered resignedly, "Do you really have to ask me that? When you entered the place with the
emerald badge, I knew what was bound to happen had occurred. Ultimately, the descendants of the Archaic Body
cultivation clan wouldn't be able to resist the temptation and would reveal the secret. Didn't you come for the Ice
Soul Pill because one of the Archaic Body cultivators mentioned it to you?"
He asked that because only someone of clan leader level would have knowledge of the treasure land containing the
Ice Soul Pill.
"Um... No, not really. A woman told me about it.. She treats my friend's illness, so in return, I'm helping her to
obtain the Ice Soul Pill,” answered Jared truthfully. Now that things had progressed to this point, he didn't have the
nerve to hide anything anymore.
"Woman?" The elderly man frowned. "Women sure do bring trouble." Jared was still in the dark about the true
connection between Jipsdale's countess and the clan leader of the Archaic Body cultivators. Hence, he didn't dare
to reveal too much information.
Jared and the elder chatted as they walked forward. After an indefinite amount of time, they stumbled upon a
palace. Everyone was appalled when they took a good look at the palace. Jared frowned and grew tense as well.

This was the same palace that Jared's group had seen when they first entered this space and also the place where
they encountered that old villain. The elder grinned knowingly as he observed the crowd's reaction. "Are you all
scared to see this place?"
Although Jared didn't say a word, his thoughts. were clearly reflected in his expression. Then, the elder strolled
forward, pushed open the towering bronze door, and stepped inside the structure. Seeing the old man enter, Jared
gritted his teeth and followed suit.
The others stood there, dumbfounded. None of them dared to enter the palace again. They didn't want to relieve
the experience as the murderous scene was still fresh on their minds. Just as the crowd hesitated about what to do,
the door suddenly slammed shut.
"Mr. Chance!"
"Jared!"
Cloud, Sunny, and the others rushed forward, forcefully pushing the door but failed to make it budge. Jared stared
at the closed door and suddenly became anxious.
Warily, he fixed his gaze on the elderly man, worried that the latter would turn out to be that old villain.
