A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5481

Jared rolled the advice around in his mind and, to his surprise, found it reasonable.

In the celestial realm, he had always faced towering rivals, but here, he reigned—king, judge, and executioner.

He could christen himself with any mythical title he pleased, and no one would dare disagree.

"Where is this Immortal Lord Nimbus now?" Jared asked, his gaze sharpening like a blade eager for work.

Maurice hesitated, then shook his head. "I don't know. He appears at Obsidian Stone Sect only occasionally. A month ago, he came, took another mountain of gems, and vanished."

Jared's eyes narrowed; Immortal Lord Nimbus' secrecy hinted at sins Heaven itself might condemn.

"How exactly do you turn spiritual stones into celestial gems?" Jared pressed.

"With a secret method Immortal Lord Nimbus taught us," Maurice replied. "It needs a specific array and specialized equipment."

"Show me," Jared ordered, his voice calm yet uncompromising.

Maurice wavered, then nodded. "Very well—follow me."

He led Jared toward the canyon's far end, where colossal silhouettes loomed against the crimson dusk.

As the towering cauldrons emerged from the shadows, a flicker of genuine intrigue lit Jared's eyes.

"So these hulks are your refining devices?" he asked, brushing warm bronze with his fingertips.

"They are," Maurice confirmed.

He patted the nearest vessel—a Spirit-Conversion Cauldron personally forged by Immortal Lord Nimbus, built solely to transmute spiritual stones into celestial gems.

Jared stepped closer, studying the intricate engravings, each rune shimmering with faint silver light.

A soft breath of celestial energy seeped from the seams, confirming the cauldron's otherworldly origin. I'll give him this—Immortal Lord Nimbus does possess skill.

Without warning, Maurice thrust out a palm; a lance of midnight demon light ripped through the air, arrowing straight for Jared's back.

Quincy's warning ripped through the gloom like a whip crack. "Watch out!"
