Alex had made twenty-five of these Enlightenment Pills, and there weren't any residual herbs left within the stove. He then took the pills but didn’t hand any to Lorelei. Instead, he said in a slow and calm tone, “Your cultivation levels are currently limited, so eating any more pills would only be wasting them. That’s why I’m not giving you any now. I’ll stock some up for you, though. I’ll hand you some once your heart problem is cured.”Although Lorelei really wanted it, she agreed with Alex after some thought. Twenty-five pills weren’t a lot, so it didn’t take long for all of them to be distributed.Just as Alex was about to swallow his pill, he suddenly had the feeling that… Jade was coming.Alex then left the Cleansing Vase and headed to the gates of Mount Yukon alone.That was because he had changed the formation around the mountain. It would be exceedingly difficult for outsiders to attempt climbing this mountain. On the contrary, going down the mountain was very easy.
It was the voice of a woman.“Who is it?” Alex turned around immediately, but he saw nobody around him.He was the only one within this boundary. However, he was certain that someone was actually behind him, talking. According to how the voice sounded, it was a young lady with a raspy voice. It even sounded rather familiar… He had most likely heard it somewhere in the past.‘Could I have been hallucinating?’Alex walked around, even using his divine eye to search his surroundings. Even then, he didn’t notice any other person around this place.Just as he was about to open up the boundary to leave, he felt a warm tickle at the back of his neck… It felt like someone was standing right behind him, blowing on his neck. It was a bone-chilling sensation.“Who’s there?”“Come out, right now.”“Why are you hiding? Are you that sloppy?”Just then, the person spoke once again, still behind him. “Hmph! I wondered how powerful you had to be to substitute the seed’s status. It turns out
“Eustace is the real seed. And I don’t know if you can even be a seed!”“When I let him go, I made him promise not to kill you or kidnap anyone on your team for three months. That’s right, you heard me. You only have three months! He will come back to Yukon after that. When that time comes, you will have to depend on your skills and strength to survive.”Alex was so mad that he wanted to vomit blood.“You’re just trying to find an excuse to take revenge!”“Can’t you be a little more broad-minded? If anything, we’re still on the same boat here!”The woman said, “It’s not that easy to substitute the seed. If you still insist, you’ll need to experience the suffering of the mortal realm to achieve enlightenment… You’re just too weak, no match for the seed.“If you want to replace him, then show that you are, in fact, stronger than him… Stop saying that you’re more polite and decent. In reality, this is all bullsh*t. All we need from the seed is power and strength. Anything else is si
“What?”To Alex’s knowledge, Eustace had been conquering divine sanctuaries out there, even going as far as to seize the land of the six largest ancient sects. As if that wasn’t enough, he had been expanding his territory every single day. This caused Alex to be… completely speechless. “I just got news about the Stoermer Sect obtaining another three divine sanctuaries today, including Lao Mountain, Mount Drie, and Trinity Valley,” Gilbert said.“Stoermer Sect is snowballing out of control now,” Maya added. “The further they go, the bigger they become. Those who were forced to submit would then proceed to force others to submit to them.“Could he be trying to obtain every location that experienced the spiritual energy overflow?” Alex asked. “That way, nobody apart from him would be able to absorb it.”“That’s possible! Who’s this Eustace Underwood anyway?” Jade asked.“He trained within the bowels of Mount Yukon for three thousand years, the chosen seed of the League of Cultiva
Lorelei scanned over them as she put on… a cold, expressionless demeanor. She was even distant towards Alex, her attitude much different from before. Just a while ago, Lorelei was groveling before him, holding his feet while trying to impress him. She even went as far as to call herself his most loyal servant, hoping that the ‘master’ would teach her more… Alex understood the moment he saw their expressions. Since they were both strong cultivators from ancient times, they cared a lot about their image; hence, they wouldn’t act like servants in front of outsiders.Personally, though, he didn’t really mind.“Let me introduce you to each other. This is my master, Jade Benmore, and this is my father-in-law, Gilbert Henderson. And this is my wife, Maya Howards!”After that introduction, Lorelei and Nebula froze slightly. ‘They are of rather… high-status. Should we suck up to them too?’Lorelei nodded gently and continued to act icy. Nebula maintained her egoistic act. “We… are the
“Suck where?” Nebula fluttered her beautiful lashes, smiling softly at Alex. Compared to Lorelei, Nebula was more seductive and bold when it came to relationships. Although Alex had also planted a soul restriction spell on her, she didn’t seem to mind one bit… If anything, she was completely willing to let him do it as well.Everyone froze and looked towards Alex.Since a random comment simply came across his mind, he didn’t know what to reply to. ‘Sucking everywhere would be inappropriate!’“Haha, well sucking would be impossible. She couldn’t even break open the boundary at the valley, let alone this formation!”Whoosh…‘Mirror image!’Alex’s mirror images were now clearer than before. Moreover, there were a total of eighteen mirror images, not just one or two… Even Alex was shocked by this. ‘Isn’t this a little too many?’In the end, he figured that his powers had improved a lot after achieving the three thousand Nascent Souls, and this was the result after quantifying it
It was mainly due to the size of the sanctuary. Fortunately, Alex had enough flags—tens of thousands, or they might actually run out.The next day, Alex’s mirror images disappeared in the evening, as if they were snowflakes that met the sun.He was standing on the top of a large mountain, forming seals on both his hands. Using Chi to write Cuneiform in midair, he connected all of the formation flags in the sanctuary. Suddenly, Nadia came back to Yukon, along with three of her sisters and around ten strong recently-subdued clan members.As expected, the news about the building on the top of Yukon reached the Stoermer Sect.Eustace was outraged and distraught upon his exile from Yukon, especially since he was the seed. It was a given that he wouldn’t let Alex off this easily, so he had been closely monitoring everything within Yukon. Eustace wanted to return when the building shone, but the goddess had ordered him not to. He didn’t dare to go against her, but he figured that send
Lorelei and Nebula looked towards the huge commotion within the sanctuary, immediately dashing back into the formation. However, the commotion in the air wasn’t over just yet.Just as the two were about to enter the boundary, Alex shaped a seal with his hand and sent it into the formation, all while standing at the very peak of the mountain. With this, he brought the two women into the formation, sending them to the main area with some kind of special guidance.Whoosh—Nadia and the others came back once again. To their demise, they were locked out by the formation, unable to take another step forward.“Second Sis, can you break through this formation?” a servant of Eustace asked.In actuality, Nadia was terrified of Alex’s formation. She just couldn’t understand how this young Wasteland native could obtain such brilliant formation skills. ‘Even if he were to start learning formations when he was in the womb, he shouldn’t be able to become so powerful… especially when it cam
