Chapter 5893 A Trade

My soul remnant is too frail to stray beyond the Heart of Earthfire. But inside the tower—where time crawls, and the laws bend—I can forge a solid soul, seize a new vessel, or remake a physical body through a secret technique."
- A faint, humorless smile cracked the elder's lips. "Don't worry. I will not use your magical item for free. In addition to the coordinates of the Jadeheart Marrow, I will impart to you the complete Earthfire True Scripture—and help reveal the traitor within Earthfire Pavilion."
