The Man's Decree

After taking a moment to glance about, Jared confirmed that he was inside the secret realm that had recently appeared. The
spiritual energy in the secret realm was incredibly pure, which gave Jared a soothing sensation all over his body.
However, his own spiritual energy seemed to be suppressed by something, so he could not unleash it at all. “Could it be due to
this crystal skull tattoo?” Jared mumbled to himself and tried to rip the affected chunk of skin off his chest.
Right as his fingers were about to make contact with the tattoo, the crystal skull tattoo emitted a bright light that knocked his
hand aside. “Hey! You should consider yourself lucky that I’m borrowing your body, young man! How dare you try to get rid of
me?”
An elderly man’s voice rang out inside Jared’s head. Jared glanced about in shock and asked loudly, “Who are you? Show
yourself!”
“I’m on your chest! How could you not know who I am after taking my bones? Had you not taken my bones away, I could have
resurrected myself using this secret realm! Right now, I can only borrow your body until you find me the thing that I need. After
that, I will leave your body for good!”
The elderly man’s voice rang out again. That was when Jared recalled seeing a treasure map on top of the crystal skull inside his
Storage Ring.
When he checked his Storage Ring, however, he realized that the crystal skull was gone. It wasn’t until he took a closer look at
the tattoo on his chest that he realized it used to be the crystal skull.
“Who are you? I only took your bones out of curiosity. Also, there was a treasure map on top of it!” Jared explained. “Who I am
doesn’t matter. You wouldn’t know me even if I told you my name anyway. Look, all you have to do is locate the treasure
according to the treasure map!” the elderly man, Ranzoph, replied impatiently.
Jared was frozen in shock when he heard that. He never expected the treasure map on the crystal skull to lead to the newly-
opened secret realm.
Since Ranzoph refused to elaborate any further, Jared knew better than to press on. However, he was not in his best condition,
and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of worry and doubt about what lay ahead.
“Are you the reason why I can’t fully utilize my spiritual energy?” Jared asked. “What does that have to do with me? You can’t
fully utilize your spiritual energy because Heavenly Law is present in this secret realm. The Power of Dragons and Phoenixes
within you have yet to fully merge. That is why you are restricted by Heavenly Law,” Ranzoph replied.

“The Power of Dragons and Phoenixes?” Jared frowned in confusion, only to recall the phoenix that was inside his body before
he passed out.
I only have the Power of Dragons within me, though! Since when did I also have the power of a phoenix? Wait a minute... Could
this be Feenix, whom I encountered on Demon Beast Mountain? But I didn’t have any new powers in my body when Feenix and
I parted ways, so where is this newfound power coming from?
As though Ranzoph had sensed Jared’s confusion, he added, “The power of Dragons and Phoenixes is the result of the Power
of Dragons merging with the Power of Phoenixes! Don’t tell me you’re going to run away from your responsibility after toying with
her!”
Jared got even more confused after hearing what the elderly man said. Huh? I don’t think I have done anything sexual with
Feenix, though... Hold on... I had a really nice dream while I was unconscious for a few days. I thought I was doing it with
Evangeline, but then I found out that it wasn’t her, so I assumed it was just a dream.
Now that I think about it, it is very possible that I did it with Feenix... I must have developed the power of Dragons and Phoenixes
after doing it with Feenix! The two powers probably didn’t have enough time to merge because it was a very recent thing. The
mere thought of having sex with Feenix while unconscious made Jared feel extremely awkward.
