With his journey through the mundane world complete, Jared tore through the void once more, this time taking his mother, Beatrice, along with Cecilia and the others, back to the Ethereal Realm.

The environment there was far more suited to their cultivation, and even Flaxseed followed them.

In the Ethereal Realm, the women finally met one another.

Jared took the time to introduce them individually, bracing himself for possible tension or conflict. To his surprise, they all got along harmoniously, their interactions warm and friendly. The unexpected peace eased Jared’s worries.

Just then, Flaxseed stepped forward, grinning. “Jared, I brought you a little gift from the mundane world!”

He produced a small tower.

At a glance, Jared recognized it instantly. It was the Pentacarna Tower, the very one once used to subdue Whalreth.
