Chapter 2995 Hit The Mark
Fear spread across everyone's heart as they began to wonder who this elderly man was.
“Young man, I didn't think you would meet my brother. But even if you've realized the truth, it's toolate now. None of you can escape this place! My brother and I are identical twins, indistinguishablein appearance and actions. Yet, you possess the keen eye to discern the smallest of differences.You truly are remarkable. If circumstances allowed, I would have gladly taken you as my disciple.However, my brother beat me to it and generously shared all the techniques and mystical artifactsof Archaic Body Cultivation with you.” The elderly man couldn't help but express his admiration forJared.
Upon listening to that, everyone felt their hearts sink in despair.
Jared could hardly conceal his astonishment. The elderly man he had encountered at the thatchedhut turned out to be the real elder of the Archaic Body cultivators and the identical twin of the elderlyman standing before him now.
They should both be Archaic Body cultivators, but this elderly man didn't seem to care aboutArchaic Body cultivators.novelbin
“Can you tell me who exactly you are?” Jared asked.
“No problem,” the elderly man replied with a sense of satisfaction. “After all these years, my storycan finally be told. But none of you will be leaving this place alive.” He descended slowly onto thealtar, his gaze fixed on Jared.
While some cultivators continued to die, resulting in their cultivation getting sucked away, the elderlyman remained utterly unperturbed. It was as though snuffing out the lives of dozens of cultivatorswas no different to him than crushing a handful of ants.
“Allow me to introduce myself. I was once a prodigious Archaic Body cultivator, but my elder brotheralways outshone me. I refused to yield and pushed myself to the limit in my cultivation efforts, yet Istill couldn't surpass him. Then, one day, I stumbled upon a forbidden demonic technique, and Isecretly mastered it. My power surged, and my brother could no longer rival me. Nevertheless, heultimately became the leader of the Archaic Body cultivators. It infuriated me because I was the trueprodigy, not him. Tell me, I was the mightiest cultivator, so shouldn't I have been the leader?” theelderly man demanded loudly.
“You embraced darkness and delved into demonic techniques. How could you even consider beinga leader? Do you wish for all Archaic Body cultivators to become Demonic Cultivators?” Jared'sresponse was filled with disdain.
“So what if they become Demonic Cultivators? Strength is what matters! Those who wield powerhave the right to make decisions!” the elderly man bellowed, his anger contorting his face.
“That's why you deceived your brother, bringing him here with the intention of eliminating him andseizing the techniques and mystical artifacts of the Archaic Body cultivators, all to claim his position.However, he'd rather embrace death than allow you to harm the Archaic Body cultivators. That'swhy both of your soul remnants are imprisoned in this sinister place. You enticed us here to siphonour strength, so you can eventually reconstitute your body and escape. Am I correct?” Jared asked.
After his initial astonishment, the elderly man erupted into laughter. “You've hit the mark. I've neverencountered someone as astute as you. Ah, what a shame. Your demise paves the way for myrebirth, so you ought to consider yourselves fortunate.”
Jared mumbled to himself, “No wonder the genuine elder of the Archaic Body cultivators repeatedlycautioned me against progressing further. It seems he was well aware of the truth.”
Back then, he had wondered why the elder had halted his advancement. Now, it was clear that theelder had done so to safeguard his well-being.
