Meanwhile, a circle with a thirty-meter radius was drawn around Alex Rockefeller and Luna Flores.Luna glanced at Maiko Chiba.“Kill anyone who trespasses the circle without mercy!” Luna ordered.Maiko looked at Alex before nodding.Everyone from Floral Valley appeared terrified, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.Back when Luna fought Herschel Lancaster, her attacks against the Nascent Soul monster seemed terribly weak. She barely left a scratch on him. Hence, outsiders thought she wasn’t all that useful. However, they now understood that her level of cultivation was actually this terrifying!Meanwhile, Herschel’s capabilities were only average at best.Right then, Jasmine Gerbera moved closer to Alcina Bela. “President, let’s not offend these two people. Their methods are horrific.”Alcina laughed bitterly. “I just wanted to express my gratitude. Who knew…”Jasmine looked down. “That’s because I previously poisoned her. That’s why…”As soon as she said this, everyone wh
This person was one of the main elders within Floral Valley, in charge of the library of Floral Valley, and was fairly older than the president, Alcina Bela. Her name was Cassandra Lane.Alex was currently holding her by the neck, mid-air.She kept kicking and struggling, but it was to no avail.Her entire face was flushed red. Not only was it because she was being choked, but she was also very embarrassed by her own actions.Just a while ago, Alex had risked his life to save every member of their clan, yet she, as the main elder, tried to trick Alex into giving her the token. Moreover, her lies were exposed right on the spot as well. Anyone would’ve died of embarrassment if this happened to them as well.Even worse, Luna’s words struck fear directly into her heart.If Flora Valley really were to be destroyed because of this, she would be the one to blame.“I… I'm so sorry!” Cassandra apologized with every strength she had left. “I… I know what I did was wrong, and I’m willi
As Maiko continued the search for the hidden room, Alex and Luna sat at a bench and made some tea for themselves, enjoying the drink as they chatted.Luna said, “Remember what Herschel and Dominique said? Herschel said that he only achieved Nascent Soul after obtaining the secret of Spiritual Valley Dungeon. It would seem that some old spirit managed to steal from Herschel when he was in this very valley.”Alex replied. “So you’re saying the valley isn’t safe and that something in there could pose a bigger danger to us?”“Yep. If Herschel is on Nascent Soul, that old spirit must be of a higher rank. Good thing he must be a remnant soul. His spirit’s most likely been heavily damaged before, something that’s to your advantage.”“No wonder he was that powerful. I thought all Nascent Soul cultivators are that powerful!”Luna had a scornful expression, gawking at Alex as if she was looking at a complete fool. “How powerful do you think Nascent Souls are? A little more than you, a Core
The hidden room that Maiko found was right under the room where the president of Hygieia Valley lived.It was very well hidden as the entrance was right under a bed.They had to move the bed away and flip over the floorboards to be able to enter.If it weren’t for Maiko’s ability to pass through objects, no average human would be able to find it.As soon as they entered the room, Alex could make out the scent of quite a few rare medicinal herbs. Extremely overjoyed by this, his eyes lit up.“This is a black reishi!”“That’s goblin weed!”“Oh my god, this is unreal… I think this is the nine-tailed dragon flower…”Alex started describing each rare herb that was in the room. He then opened the purse in a hurry and stuffed the herbs into it. He would be restless until he managed to get each and every one of them.Luna walked into the room, barefooted like a model. She paced around the room since she wasn’t familiar with herbs, nor was she interested in them. After noticing a boo
Alcina replied. “Grave weeds, we need it to save lives.”In reality, they definitely needed more than one herb to do so.Alex pondered, but Luna spoke up instead. “We can give you the token, but what are you guys offering in exchange for it?”“What would you guys want then?”“Do you have any formation blueprints?” Alex blurted out.He needed that urgently. First, he needed to unlock all the swords in Dragon's Bane of Thirty-Six, hence he needed to research large numbers of blueprints. Secondly, he had to fix the teleportation circle that his father used.Alcina took a few glances towards Alex, not saying a word.Alex knew that something was up when he noticed her expression. This indicated that Floral Valley did indeed have some formation blueprints.“We do have a set of formation boards, but I have to mention that the boards are incomplete, so they’re basically useless. As for formation blueprints… the only one in our clan that’s researching this is Jasmine.”Alex looked towa
“Are you in Hygieia Valley now? How did it go?”Although she was Aunt Rockefeller, she still behaved like a demure little wife around him despite the fact that she was extremely powerful, which made Alex feel that this was all too surreal.When he called her, he instinctively viewed her as Aunt Rockefeller and wanted to tell her about the dungeon. He even wanted to have her come along as well, but when she called him “darling,” he was taken aback.Since he had accidentally slept with Luna, their relationship was currently at a very interesting spot.More importantly, Luna’s family background was quite petrifying, even for him.‘If Dorothy came and found out about this, what would I do?’Thinking back, he really wanted to slap himself. ‘Isn’t that a foolish thing to do?’Hence, he immediately hid the truth from her. “I got caught up in something, but everything still went pretty well. I found quite a lot of spiritual herbs, so I’d definitely be able to make some pills when I get
Two hours later, they finally arrived at the entrance of Spiritual Valley Dungeon.It was situated within the depths of the forests in Witch Mountain range. Alex and Luna were shocked to see the entrance to the dungeon. It was on top of an ancient, large tree.In the middle of two large groups was a spinning, pitch-black entrance. It looked as if it was a beast's mouth, a pitless abyss that could swallow one’s soul.“President, these people are…”There were two groups of people guarding the entrance, one from Hygieia Valley while the other was from Floral Valley.The two groups have been guarding this place for years, hence they managed to make this place into a villa in the mountains. When members of Floral Valley arrived, their guards came to welcome them immediately. However, they were obviously confused when they noticed Alex and Luna, who were strangers.On the other hand, the guards from Hygieia Valley were panicking.They haven’t been able to get a hold of anyone from t
Ring-Alex felt an extremely pressuring force on his body as soon as he entered. It felt similar to when they were passing the water-like door in Caesar's tomb, but it also seemed more complicated than that.He felt as if his body had fallen into a blender, where his entire body was being squeezed tightly by some hard substance. It was just way too suffocating.As soon as he hopped in, Alex tried releasing his spiritual conscience to feel the power of space within this transportation circle. However, his little spiritual conscience was crushed brutally the second after he released it.‘Looks like my powers are still not strong enough!’Within one breath, Alex’s body felt light as he passed through the teleportation circle, landing on the ground safely.What met his eyes was an insanely large head.It was a head carved out of stone, which was as large as a building, laying on its side. Standing before this status made him feel like he was a tiny mouse in front of a large elepha
