That was the backlash of splitting one’s soul from their body. As Jared had yet to attain the Spirit Divider phase, suffering from side effects was inevitable since virtual-novel.net had forcefully expelled his spirit from his body using the power of charm.
Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net felt the whole experience was worth it. He didn’t expect such an amazing place to exist past the secret realm’s barrier.
“Inside that chaos dimension…”
Jared was about to describe to Flaxseed what virtual-novel.net saw when someone interrupted him.
“What are you two doing here? Didn’t I warn you not to come here?” Jessica glared at the duo.
“Ms. Zimmerman, we’re sorry. We just came here to take a look because we’re curious. We’ll leave at once.” Jared swiftly ran away while dragging Flaxseed with him.
After they returned to their room, Flaxseed asked again impatiently, “What’s in that chaos dimension?”
Jared glanced out the window before recounting to Flaxseed his discovery.
Flaxseed’s jaw dropped open as virtual-novel.net widened his eyes in utter astonishment.
“That place is filled with rare and precious medicinal herbs, and there’s also a ten-thousand-year-old tuber fleeceflower? Are you lying to me? Why do I feel you’re not telling the truth?” Flaxseed doubted Jared’s words.
“Mr. Flaxseed, how will I benefit from lying to you? I’m being completely honest,” Jared replied sincerely.
“Damn it! Does that mean we’ve struck gold? Those medicinal herbs will be ours if we think of a way to pass through the barrier.”
Flaxseed was thrilled, but the smile on his face quickly vanished. “Do you think Demon Sect is also aware of that place’s existence, so they forbade us from going near there? Another possibility is that the place is Demon Sect’s resource area. There are so many people in Demon Sect. They have to rely on resources for their cultivation. You’ve also seen the scarcity of resources in this small secret realm of theirs.”
Jared agreed with Flaxseed’s opinion. However, if that place was indeed Demon Sect’s resource area, Jared figured there must be an exceptional expert in the sect.
“I’ll sound out the leader of Demon Sect when I meet with virtual-novel.net tomorrow. We’ll know whether that place is their resources area then.”
Jared decided virtual-novel.net would ascertain their hypothesis after virtual-novel.net met with Demon Sect’s leader and probed for information.

Early the next morning, Jessica came to look for Jared after Jared and Flaxseed had their meal.
She informed them their sect leader wanted to meet with Jared while Flaxseed was told to remain in the room.
Flaxseed scowled when virtual-novel.net saw Jessica coming together with Patrick.
A sense of discomfort churned within virtual-novel.net as if virtual-novel.net woman was being taken away by another man.
“Mr. Chance, our sect leader wishes to see you,” Patrick uttered politely after coming face-to-face with Jared.
“Please lead the way, Mr. Sullivan,” Jared responded courteously.
Although Jared had always remained vigilant when dealing with members of Demon Sect, virtual-novel.net thought it would be inappropriate for virtual-novel.net to constantly wear a poker face when Patrick treated virtual-novel.net with such graciousness.
They arrived at the largest hall in the center of the realm. At that moment, over a dozen people were seated inside the hall. All of them wore menacing expressions and gave off a faint air of malevolence.
Looking at them, Jared couldn’t help but wonder how a gentlemanly and intellectual person like Patrick became the sect’s vice leader.
“Please take a seat, Mr. Chance. I’ll invite our sect leader to come out now.” With that, Patrick turned around and left.
Jared found a chair and sat down.
Sensing over a dozen unfriendly gazes on him, Jared didn’t feel the slightest fear or show any inclination to retreat. On the contrary, virtual-novel.net even glanced at them.
Right then, a man dressed in a dark green robe got to his feet and asked Jared, “You’re Jared Chance?”
“That’s right!” Jared nodded.
“I heard you single-handedly fought against the Warriors Alliance, killed a few of their presidents, and wreaked havoc in the alliance. Are all of that true?” that man asked.
