Chapter 1396 A Gift
“It’s a long story, Diego…” Zion let out a big sigh, then told Diego what had happened. When Diego
heard that Zion was injured by a young man in his twenties, his expression changed.
“You mean such a genius exists in Chanaea now? He can beat you at such a young age?” Diego
asked solemnly. “There’s something you’re not aware of, Diego. Jared is an energy cultivator. He—”
Before Zion could finish his sentence, Diego jumped to his feet in disbelief and said, “What? An energy
cultivator? An energy cultivator at such a young age is more powerful than you?”
“This world is currently so spiritually deprived. So how is that possible? Even if he started cultivating
since the day he was conceived, there’s no way he can surpass you!”
Diego found it hard to believe that an energy cultivator could make such quick progress, given the
condition the society was in at that time.
“Jared seemed to have had some miraculous encounters, Diego. His rapid growth in power should be
because of the draconic essence he possessed…”
Zion went on to fill Diego in with details about the draconic essence in Jared.
Diego’s eyes lit up with greed when he heard that.
Zion was secretly pleased when he saw that expression on Diego. He knew he had sessfully
tempted Diego.
“Since he managed to defeat you, he should have achieved the middle phase of Nascent Soul.
However, that means nothing to me!” Diego said pridefully.
Zion was stunned to hear Jared had already attained the middle phase of Nascent Soul!
“If you were to step in, Jared would be dead meat, Diego,” Zion continued to fan Diego’s ego.
“Even on Encanta Ind, I had to work hard for decades before I managed to attain the state of
Nascent Soul. It is amazing that with that draconic essence, a young chap could make that much
progress within such a short time. I’ve reached a stage of stagnation in my cultivation, so maybe I can
make use of his Nascent Soul and the draconic essence in him to achieve a breakthrough…” Diego
said coldly with a serious look on his face.
“What’s Nascent Soul, Diego?” Zion asked.
Although he knew about the energy cultivators, those cultivators were reclusive, and thus, not much
was known to the public about the different cultivation levels.
“Zion, it is a little difficult to exin that concept to you. To put it simply, as long as my Nascent Soul
exists, my physical body will never perish. Even if it is destroyed, it can heal and regenerate itself,”
Diego said.
With that exnation, Zion suddenly found the answer to a puzzling fact that had been bothering him.
He finally understood why he had seen with his own eyes that Jared had been killed, yet he was soon
resurrected and alive again.
He realized it was the Nascent Soul in Jared’s body that was protecting him! If the Nascent Soul was
still intact, then even if his body was destroyed, he wouldn’t be killed!
Zion was d he made the trip to Encanta Ind. Otherwise, he would never have learned about
Nascent Soul, and Jared would forever remain a mystery to him.
Zion did not stay long on Encanta Ind, as Diego was eager to leave the ce with him to go meet
Jared.
Diego desperately wanted to get the draconic essence and also Jared’s Nascent Soul. With that two
treasures, he would be able to make good progress in his cultivation.
Diego was stuck in a stage of stagnation for many years, and he had difficulty achieving a
breakthrough to reach the next level of cultivation.
Encanta Ind seemed to be cursed, as no one there had managed to achieve the middle phase of
Nascent Soul.
Back in Jadeborough, Xavier was reporting solemnly to Mr. Sanders at the Department of Justice.
“Mr. Sanders, Zion has persuaded Diego from Encanta Ind to help him deal with Jared.”
He knew the people at Encanta Ind, so when Zion met up with Diego, he knew Jared would be in
trouble.
“Encanta Ind?” Mr. Sanders smiled. “Looks like Jared has finally found his match. I wonder how he’s
going to thank me for this gift I got him.”Content held by N?velDrama.Org.
