Chapter 984 A Dream
Jared saw the plants swaying in the painting while the shepherdess pranced happily across the slope.
The painting emanated the aura that Jared had sensed earlier on. It turned out that he had been feeling
a pull toward this painting all along.
“D*mn it! We wasted this much effort just for an old painting?” Colin grumbled when he realized there
was only a painting in the tomb.
Jared looked at him and asked, “Colin, do you see the shepherdess moving in the painting?”
“What? No.” Colin knitted his brows and asked, “Are you seeing things, Jared? How could the person in
the painting move?”
Howard echoed his confusion, “What’s so special about this painting? Why would someone conjure such
a powerful arcane array to protect it?”
Jared instinctively frowned when he realized he was the only one who could see the objects in the

He slowly extended a stream of spiritual sense toward Thousands of Miles Away. It had scarcely neared
the painting when a strong force pulled it into the painting.
Jared felt as if his body had entered the world depicted in the painting. He could see the blue sky above
him and the greenery beneath his feet. The shepherdess stood not too far away from him.
The place was brimming with spiritual energy, almost as common as oxygen was in the real world.
He muttered disbelievingly, “Is this a dream? It’s way too realistic.”
His eyes widened in surprise as he continued to survey his surroundings.
The shepherdess had noticed him by then and walked toward him.
“Where are you from?” she asked.
“I…” Jared trailed off, unsure of what to reply. He did not know how to explain his situation.
Instead, he replied to her question with one of his own, “Where is this place?”
The shepherdess appraised him curiously and said, “This is Encanta Island. Since you’re already here,
why wouldn’t you know what this place is?”
“Encanta Island?” Jared frowned upon recognizing the name. Isn’t Encanta Island the legendary magical
realm? Am I really standing in a bona fide magical realm now?
Before Jared could ask the shepherdess more questions, she skipped away and promptly disappeared
without a trace.
Jared was shocked. He thought of wandering around the place to find the shepherdess, yet his body
suddenly shuddered, and the next thing he saw was Colin in the flesh. He was now standing in the tomb
instead of Encanta Island.
Colin questioned, “What happened, Jared? You were staring so intently at the painting like a fool. You
didn’t even blink once!”
Jared could hardly begin to describe what had happened earlier. It seemed like a dream, yet it was
uncannily realistic. The shepherdess’ last words still rang in his mind.

“Encanta Island?” he mumbled under his breath.
Suddenly, someone yelled, “Look! The painting has changed!”
Everyone in the tomb turned their attention to the painting, which looked starkly different from before.
Gone were the mountain, river, and shepherdess. Instead, a dense forest now took its place.
Many animals were in the forest, and they were very much alive and moving in Jared’s eyes.
He quickly exuded his spiritual sense toward the painting, and voila, he materialized in the forest just as
he had done in Encanta Island. The animals in the forest regarded his arrival cautiously.
Jared scanned his surroundings and realized that he was alone. He looked for a place to sit before
activating his Focus Technique. Streams of spiritual energy began darting into his body.
The spiritual energy replenished his elixir field, which was almost depleted after the harrowing journey
into the tomb.
The draconic essence in his body also began to absorb the spiritual energy around Jared in a near
frenzied state.
No one in the tomb noticed the changes in Jared. Their attention was focused wholly on the painting.
