The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3001
He even deliberately made some noise…
“Oh gosh! This place is so huge! Am I going to die of exhaustion? When will I gain freedom? How could that woman be so terrifying?!”
The woman in white was relieved after hearing the voice. Then, the group of women continued to concoct the pill.
Meanwhile, Alex had an idea. “It’s okay. They have begun concentrating on concocting the pill. Let’s proceed with the stealth plan,” he told Shelly.
Alex did not approach the aisle this time. Instead, he directly entered the shrine. To the Ancestral Bodhi Tree, everywhere was the same anyway.
Whoosh!
Alex set up the Great Seal Spell’s force field using the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell. He then invited Shelly and Ancestor Bodhi out of the mind palace before the three began discussions.
Alex said, “In fact, I think it’s too silly to steal the medicinal liquid. If we’re going to steal something, we should steal the complete pill. It just so happens that we can steal the finished product of the Great Star Pill by borrowing their power! I know best about alchemy. I will steal the pill the moment it condenses before burning the cauldron with fire. Even a deity wouldn’t know.”
“The point is, how are you going to steal it? Unless you are going to enter that pill cauldron,” Shelly said.
Ancestor Bodhi’s eyes gleamed. “No problem. I can place him in the pill cauldron.”
Alex was startled. “You’re going to place me in the pill cauldron? Wouldn’t I be dead by then?”
Overwhelming power encircled in the air as the fifteen women concocted the pill with their blood essence.
How could a human body withstand it?
Shelly smiled mysteriously. “I have an idea.”
Alex was a little scared of her outrageous ideas that emerged from time to time. “It better not be some kind of messed-up idea again.”
“Of course not! Do you still remember the bodice behind this statue? It’s the Seven Feather Flag. Why are you afraid of it? No flame is as powerful as the one on the Seven Feather Flag. It can conceal you completely.”
“Fine! Here goes nothing!”
Two minutes later, Ancestor Bodhi activated a root of the Ancestral Bodhi Tree that silently drilled into the ground toward the aisle. After another two minutes, Ancestor Bodhi looked at Alex. “It’s done!”
Alex nodded and immediately wrapped the Seven Feather Flag around his body before using the Earth Escape Technique.
Whoosh!
Ancestor Bodhi guided him along the root with divine energy and placed him in the pill cauldron.
‘Argh! Holy crap!’
Alex almost screamed because the temperature inside was too high.
The Seven Feather Flag was a decent item, but it couldn’t completely envelop him because of a few gaps in it. Heat energy passed through those gaps and entered his organs, leaving him in intense pain.
‘What a scam!’
At that moment, Alex dared not make a sound. He couldn’t help but hold back desperately. He then wanted to go back via Earth Escape Technique, but something unexpected occurred.
To his surprise, the Ancestral Bodhi Tree’s root retreated at that time.
‘What’s going on?’
‘This is… Premeditated murder, isn’t it?’
At the same time, the women concocting pills outside seemed to notice the anomaly in the pill cauldron. “Great! The Great Star Pill has moved abnormally,” a woman in white exclaimed. “It indicates that the critical moment has arrived! Everyone, continue working harder!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3002
Whistle!
The temperature in the pill cauldron rose again.
Alex blocked the high temperatures by firmly wrapping the Seven Feather Flag around him. The totems of seven divine birds lit up abruptly.
‘This won’t cause any commotion, won’t it?’
Alex’s worries, unfortunately, became true. The seven types of totems on the Seven Feather Flag were referring to the seven divine birds that were refined into weapons. Not only did they have their innate feathers, but they also contained their lives… At that moment, luck welled up in the pill cauldron. It was the luck stolen from the universe. The Seven Feather Flag seemed to like luck very much.
Afterward…
Coo!
Quack!
All kinds of sounds rang in the pill cauldron.
Alex instantly felt his blood freeze as the divine birds within it chirped in unison. The commotion was so loud that it was audible in the entire aisle. They would’ve surely heard it unless all those fifteen women were deaf.
“Sis, what are those sounds?”
“Why would chirps of birds come from the pill cauldron?”
The woman in white was also astonished. Everyone was well aware of the thing in the pill cauldron, so it was simply impossible for birds to exist. However, the sounds inside were real and could not be faked.
After thinking a while, she said, “Calm down. This just shows that our Great Star Pill is about to succeed in this cauldron. This should be the legendary whistle… The Great Star Pill is extraordinary and blessed. Not only would the complete pill trigger Lightning Tribulation, but there is also the whistling of the cauldron! This anomaly is a good sign!”
“Work harder!”
“If the young lord were to acquire the Great Star Pill, he would definitely achieve more than the Supreme God in the future. When the time comes, we sisters will be meritorious and follow the young lord to a larger cosmic realm.”
Alex could clearly hear their voices. Never did he expect these women to have a young lord. In that case, the young lord must’ve had been cultivating for a long time at Yukon Sanctuary.
‘The Seven Feather Flag is seizing luck?’
‘No! The pill in the cauldron will be affected once it does! lt’s mine!’
Alex was inconsolably furious. The next moment, he simply put away the Seven Feather Flag.
Nonetheless, the heat energy that landed on his body through the gaps wasn’t much different from a large-scale heat attack.
‘I just don’t believe I can’t withstand it!’ Alex zealously gave various methods a try.
Eventually, he noticed that the holy energy within the golden lake was the best method. With the nine Bodhi Hearts’ blessing, the power of the holy energy in the golden lake increased greatly. Outrageously, a large vortex was formed in the center of the golden lake… It turned out that this vortex began to devour luck.
“This… What should we do?”
“The Great Star Pill will surely be damaged after losing that much luck! I’m afraid it will be hard to become a complete pill!”
Just then, the woman in white who was concocting the pill said, “It’s not good. The luck in the pill cauldron is plummeting, and it will affect its success rate.”
“Huh? Sis, what should we do now?”
“The Great Star Pill is a wonderful thing! I’ve intercepted enough luck, but I didn’t expect it was still insufficient! However, it doesn’t matter! I prepared it long ago!” As the woman in white spoke, she lifted her hand and blasted away a stone slab, forming a large, one meter hole. Then, a long white dragon charged out of the hole with a buzz.
It was not a real dragon but the luck of nature.
The dragon of luck rapidly entered the pill cauldron. Most of its body directly entered the holy energy vortex on the golden lake that Alex had activated, whereas a small portion remained in the pill cauldron.
‘Huh? Such fortune exists?’
‘Then, I will… Kindly accept it!’
The woman in white out there could never imagine that the slave she had captured would absorb the luck she had so arduously gathered in the pill cauldron. She almost went out of her mind.
At the same time, Shelly was with Ancestor Bodhi in the shrine. After learning that the Ancestral Bodhi Tree’s root had been detached from the pill cauldron, Shelly nearly blew her top.
Alex was in the pill cauldron and was in danger every second he was inside.
“Why don’t you hurry and get him out?”
“Miss Shelly, it’s not like I’m unwilling… I just can’t for now!”
“What’s going on?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3003
“It’s because of that pill cauldron. That strange pill cauldron has severed the Ancestral Bodhi Tree’s root.”
Shelly’s expression changed after hearing that.
Ancestor Bodhi said, “Even so, it’s not like there’s completely no chance to enter it again.”
Shelly asked, “What’s it going to take?”
Ancestor Bodhi replied, “It’s going to take time.”
“How long?”
“Fifteen minutes!”
In the pill cauldron, Alex sensed that a mysterious factor had overflowed into his body after the luck entered his golden lake of holy energy. A unique occurrence, just like the snowflake, it immediately rushed into his three thousand Nascent Souls the moment it entered his body. To his surprise, the lotuses in the Nascent Souls moved slowly in a rhythmic manner as if they had received a calling.
The lotuses in the Nascent Souls were absorbing the luck. Then, they multiplied.
‘Awesome!’ Alex was delighted.
Although the pill cauldron’s extreme heat scorched him, the golden lake of holy energy churned out layers of golden light and protected and relieved him. Thus, his rather decent body was able to withstand it.
As a result of that, the longer duration would certainly benefit him. However, it did not take long before he heard the women’s voices out there.
“It’s the critical moment! Prepare to condense the pill!”
Buzz!
This time, the fifteen women simultaneously spat out a mouth of blood essence. The blood essence gathered together and entered the pill cauldron through some special channel.
The blood caught Alex off guard as it splattered on his face. Another portion, meanwhile, entered the golden lake of holy energy.
‘D*mn! It’s really disgusting!’
Alex complained in his heart, but he quickly brimmed with joy right after. The blood was the essence of those women outside. It contained their vital energy, divine energy, spirit, and cultivation. Now, Alex had acquired it, and it would benefit him greatly.
Furthermore, it was insufficient for the Great Star Pill because he had absorbed a portion of it.
The woman in white spat another mouthful of blood after noticing it.
The pill condensation finally began only after the women spat three mouthfuls of blood consecutively, with their aura weakened by 30%.
Buzz!
All the medicinal liquid vibrated and condensed. Laws emerged and assisted in the pill’s condensation.
“Condense!” shouted the woman in white before the cauldron tremored on the pill. Bizarre symbols flowed on it, totems glowed, and ancient scroll paintings unfolded one after another. This cauldron certainly was extraordinary.
Three minutes later, Alex helplessly witnessed the successful condensation of the Great Star Pill.
‘Should I steal it?’
‘I’m done for. That scammer, Ancestor Bodhi, has yet to arrive. Wouldn’t I become a sitting duck?’
Just then, a point of light appeared before his eyes. A root popped out of thin air as Ancestor Bodhi’s voice rang anxiously in Alex’s ears. “Alex, hurry up and come with me!”
Whoosh!
Alex grabbed the Great Star Pill and directly placed it into his mouth. He then waved his hand and lashed out an expanse of flame, enveloping the entire pill cauldron.
The next moment, he escaped!
When Alex and the Ancestral Bodhi Tree disappeared, the woman in white simultaneously smacked the pill cauldron and opened its lid.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3004
“Sis, it’s going to be successful this time, right?”
“We’ve consumed a few dozen pounds of blood essence and lost several hundred years of cultivation for nothing!”
“Yes! I’m beat!”
Exhausted, all fourteen women slumped to the ground with disregard to image and watched their eldest sister opening the pill cauldron and checking the situation. After all, the woman in white was the crux of the pill concoction. To put it bluntly, the rest of them simply provided the energy output.
The moment the eldest sister opened the pill cauldron, she saw strange totems surging on its surface and heard roars of immortal spirits and bizarre beasts.
Her eyes glistening, she said, “There is no mistake. Even the Thousand Floral Cauldron has emitted congratulatory noises, so how has concoction failed? After three attempts, we have finally had our wish granted. Everyone worked extremely hard during this time, and it was worth it. The young lord will come out of seclusion within the next few days. He will definitely remember our merits once he acquires this pill.”
“I don’t have any other request; I just want the young lord to hold me,” a woman gushed.
Then, the entire group continued chatting idly.
At that moment, the woman in white finally floated up and chanted at the pill cauldron to receive the pill.
“Rise!”
However, there was no movement.
“Huh..? … Rise!”
“…”
The eldest sister was startled. That should not have happened. She hurriedly poked her head into the pill cauldron and took a closer look, but…
“Huh?!”
“How come?! How is this possible?!”
“We’ve clearly succeeded… But why is there no pill?!”
Her exclamations caused many to jump in fright. Everyone looked at each other in dismay, unable to accept the outcome.
The eldest sister had jumped into the huge pill cauldron and checked it carefully, but there wasn’t even reside, let alone a pill.
“Sis, I’m afraid Heaven forbade the Great Star Pill. Even if we had gone to great lengths and concocted it successfully, it would be crushed forcefully by the laws of the world,” said a broken-hearted woman.
That pill had truly consumed too much of their resources and energy, but she never expected that it would end up like that.
“Ahh!”
The woman in white yelled to vent her anger. The was nothing she could do but accept the results. It was because she would never imagine that someone had stealthily entered the pill cauldron and intercepted it after their successful pill concoction.
***
At the same time, Alex had long since returned to the shrine. Meanwhile, the pill the devastated women thought the heavenly laws had crushed was actually in his stomach, unleashing unprecedentedly great energy.
After Shelly learned that he had swallowed the Great Star Pill, she was completely helpless. “Do you know that even a deity wouldn’t directly swallow the Great Star Pill? Just how bold were you trying to be?”
Ancestor Bodhi, also present, lamented, “We can’t go on like this. The power of laws in the Great Star Pill is too powerful. People will immediately sense it if it leaks, and they’ll arrive in no time.”
“Let’s get out of here!”
Alex was about to move.
Shelly, however, shook her head. “We are at Yukon Sanctuary, not to mention you still have the dog collar around your neck right now. That woman will come after us with the slightest abnormal movement. Hence, the wisest thing you can do now is to suppress the Great Star Pill’s medicinal effects.”
“How do I suppress it? I can’t. It’s too powerful.”
“You’ll have to figure it out on your own.”
It was then that Alex suddenly sensed an abnormal change of law in the collar around his neck. In olher words, that woman was attempting to spy on him again via mental communication.
‘What should I do?’
The quick-witted Alex immediately modified the mapping law of the collar with the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell, presenting the naked image of himself in the toilet.
‘I don’t believe you can keep watching such disgusting stuff!’
As expected, it was less than a second…
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3005
The woman in white’s communication with him had been severed.
Alex heaved a sigh of relief. He then hurriedly sealed the Great Star Pill in his body with the Great Seal Spell.
Unexpectedly, the woman in white came to the shrine right after that. At a glance, Alex could tell from her disgusted looks that she was extremely upset.
Alex tried his best to keep calm before he took the initiative and said, “Sis fairy, I have worked hard for a long time today. Can I take a break? Jeez. I don’t feel happy at all in Yukon Sanctuary. I’m just like a construction worker who moves bricks. Why am I even doing this?”
The woman snorted coldly. “Even getting to stand here would be your greatest blessing. Many people don’t even get a chance to come in, yet you are still picky? Would you believe I could smack you to death with one slap?”
Alex nodded. “I believe you, of course, but I did nothing wrong. So, why do you want to smack me to death?”
“Cut the crap! Come with me!”
“Huh? Where are we going?”
“Follow me and you will know.” The woman turned around and walked outside.
Alex glanced at the statue’s position before helplessly following her… The temperament of the woman in white was despicable and accursed, but she had a truly decent figure with her hips wiggling as she walked. When Alex stared back at her, he involuntarily activated X-ray vision.
Her figure was perfect. Her curves were perfect
However…
Alex suddenly noticed that this woman’s body was ill. It was like some kind of innate ailment. It was impossible for her to get well on her own no matter how high her cultivation level was. Nonetheless, there was a method to cure this ailment in the Ultimate Book of Medicine… However, just as Alex thought about curing her condition, she suddenly turned around and raised her hand, slapping Alex hard across the face.
“Huh? Are you out of your mind?” shouted Alex as he covered his face.
“I will gouge your eyes out if I notice your disgusting gaze again next time,” snapped the woman coldly.
‘D*mn it!’
They arrived at their destination soon after.
Alex took a closer look. ‘Isn’t this the pool where they bathed before? Does she want me to come here and take a bath?’
At that moment, the woman said, “Do you know what this place is?”
Alex replied, “I don’t.”
“It’s called the Troop Raising Pond.”
‘What?!’
Alex was startled. ‘This is the Troop Raising Pond? However, those women were clearly swimming and bathing in the pool earlier. Could the Troop Raising Pond be used as a swimming pool?’
“Didn’t you complain that it’s hard being a janitor?” the woman said indifferently. “Fine then. I can grant you a chance to stop becoming one. Go into the pond and retrieve a weapon for me. Once you’ve done that, I’ll remove the collar around your neck and teach you the cultivation techniques of Yukon Sanctuary. You won’t have to clean the shrine in the future.”
“Really? It won’t be dangerous, will it?”
“It will!” The woman was straightforward, not trying to lie to Alex.
“Can I not go there?”
“You can… If you let me kill you right now!” the woman sneered.
The woman handed Alex a piece of paper with the drawing of some weapon. It looked like a sword, yet also like some kind of gun.
“This is the weapon you’ll need to get your hands on. Don’t worry. I’ll assist you on the side and help you block 90% of the danger. You don’t have to worry.”
Alex asked, “Your cultivation level is so high. Wouldn’t it be more convenient if you retrieve it on your own?”
“Cut to the chase and get down there!” The woman waved her hand and knocked Alex down into the Troop Raising Pond.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3006
Thud!
The moment Alex’s body fell into the Troop Raising Pond, he noticed how different it was from a regular swimming pool, the water contained razor-sharp killing intent. Like tiny razors, there wasn’t just one, but millions of them.
It was as if his entire body was about to be torn apart.
He thought how truly fantastic the world must be when he recalled those undressed women swimming freely in the Troop Raising Pond… They were obviously humans, but how could there be such a vast difference? Back when he looked at their enjoyable expressions, they clearly felt no pain at all.
Buzz!
A stream of mental strength from the woman on the shore descended. It was some kind of mental barrier that could help him isolate most of the killing intent.
At the same time, the collar around his neck trembled as the woman’s voice was heard. “Compose your thoughts right now. The Troop Raising Pond emits an ominous aura. The weapons raised here will shed killing intent. If you can’t withstand it, you will be devoured and turn into an idiot.”
“You and I aren’t enemies! Why do you want to harm me?” Alex yelled.
“Harm you? You are still unqualified!” Indifference filled the voice of the woman in white. “It was your opportunity and luck that I drew over Wasteland native like you! What makes you think all will be smooth sailing if you acquire the opportunity? You’re overthinking! You merely acquired the opportunity as an entrance ticket.”
“Whether you will benefit or get destroyed later will depend on effort and the courage to risk your life. If you don’t even have the courage to risk your life, then you should just rest eternally in the Troop Raising Pond!”
Alex somewhat understood her speech. The woman didn’t harbor a grudge against him, but it wasn’t like she was taking him seriously either.
Alex’s arrival was a small, inadvertent decision she had made in her subconscious. Moreover, she had bestowed a great favor upon him. In her eyes, she had all the right to make demands from Alex, not to mention that he still had to be grateful to her.
“You may start diving now.”
“Head to the right.”
“You are currently located at the periphery of the Troop Raising Pond! The real core area is below! Dive to the bottom of the pond, and you will find a moon gate. Open and enter it to reach the real Troop Raising Pond. Remember to hurry back right away after finding that weapon, or I won’t be able to save you… The Troop Raising Pond contains a restriction. Nobody whose cultivation exceeds Incarnate Deity may enter it.”
Alex was startled. Only then did he notice the root of the problem.
Shortly afterward, Alex really saw an extremely thick moon gate with strange floral symbols carved on it. Alex gritted his teeth. Just as he was about to push it open, a man’s howl suddenly rang in his ears. Even if he was currently at the bottom of the Troop Raising Pond’s periphery, he could hear it clearly.
“The young lord has come out of seclusion?!”
Alex could hear the woman’s voice coming from the collar.
Then, she sent a telepathic message to Alex. “The plan is canceled. You should come back right now.”
Alex looked at the moon gate. To be frank, he did not want to enter the Troop Raising Pond… Although he previously had a goal of going for its weapons, the woman in white was beside him, and it was the worst time to do it. Hence, he had to wait for another chance.
***
It didn’t take long before Alex saw the young lord they had mentioned.
He was almost perfect!
Younger than thirty, gentle and elegant with a faint smile on his face, the man wore an ancient outfit with his long hair draped behind his back. He cast a gentle glance at the woman in white.
He then saw Alex.
“Lorelei, who is this?” The man was a little shocked. It had always been him and another fifteen women in Yukon Sanctuary. They were the only ones there, but he was now slightly dubious with the sudden appearance of an extra man.
Alex asked, “You’re called Lorelei?”
He noticed that Lorelei, dressed in white, revered the man greatly, with her tone extremely gentle. She immediately introduced Alex to him.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3007
The man nodded. “So, he is from outside. Now that three millennia have passed, I wonder how the outside is.”
“You there, come here!” He beckoned to Alex.
The woman in white called Lorelei immediately tugged at Alex’s arm. “The young lord is summoning you. Why don’t you go over?”
Looking at the man, Alex went over slowly.
The man smiled. “Calm down. I won’t hurt you.”
After saying that, he directly raised his hand and pressed against Alex’s crown acupoint.
‘What?’
Almost immediately, the astonished Alex resisted. However, the man was extremely powerful and overbearing. While pressing against Alex, he said unhappily, “Why are you resisting? I’m just taking a brief look at your memory while taking the opportunity to understand the changes in the outside world.”
Alex said, “Probing someone’s memory is a demonic deed. I may be insignificant, but I have dignity. I can’t accept something like this.”
The woman in white kicked Alex in the body. “How preposterous! How dare you speak to the young lord like that?! Who gave you the courage?! Immediately kneel. Kowtow and apologize!”
Alex couldn’t do it!
“It’s fine!”
The young lord waved his hand and signaled the woman in white to retreat before he said with a smile, “It’s very nice that you’re talking about dignity with me! One must indeed have dignity! However, you are currently no different from an ant by the roadside in my eyes. Hence, your dignity is not worth mentioning. You can only claim your dignity when you and I stand as equals someday.”
“Now, you’re nothing more than a laughing stock!”
Smack!
The man kept advancing before pressing his palm on Alex’s crown. He wanted to acquire all of Alex’s memories using his mental strength.
Nonetheless… Alex absolutely wouldn’t allow something like that.
Alex had great secrets, various divine artifacts, and knowledge of prehistoric species on him. He would be in great danger as soon as his memories were probed.
Buzz!
Alex activated the golden lake of holy energy and interfered forcefully, hoping to protect his consciousness.
The man said, “So, you have also learned the cultivation techniques of Buddhism. This is a little intriguing, but you can’t resist me with something so weak.”
He continued probing his memories. “You absolutely can’t do that!”
Alex was going to fight for his life. The situation was an unexpected one.
Subsequently, Alex activated the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell, wrapping all his memories to isolate the man’s mental strength. At that moment, the man was even more shocked. “What is this method of yours?! It looks like you have lots of secrets. I love peeking into secrets the most. The harder you refuse, the more I want to have a peek!”
He doubled his mental strength.
Boom!
This time, be impacted the Great Seal Spell that Alex had set up, and as a result, a crack was formed. The Great Star Pill’s aura that was sealed inside instantly diffused out.
“Huh? What is this?”
“This is… The Great Star Pill?”
The shocked Lorelei stared blankly at Alex. “It’s you?! So it’s you! You’re the one who stole the Great Star Pill we have so arduously refined?”
Her young lord was excited as well. It turned out to be the Great Star Pill. If that were the case, he had to acquire it.
Lorelei shouted, “Take out the Great Star Pill!”
Alex blinked. “It’s gone. I’ve consumed it.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3008
“What?!”
“You… You’ve consumed it?! ”
Everyone let out a harsh gasp. Even the young lord’s eyes widened. ‘Is the Great Star Pill even edible? Who would dare to consume it directly? Wouldn’t it be equivalent to suicide after consumption?’
“Did you really consume it?”
“You’re fine?”
“No! No! How did you steal my Great Star Pill? Impossible! You weren’t in the pill room during the concoction of the Great Star Pill! And, I opened the cauldron to retrieve the pill right after it condensed… Unless you managed to stretch your hands into the cauldron with remarkable abilities during the pill condensation…”
“Hahaha…”
The woman couldn’t help but burst into laughter. There was zero possibility of such a thing happening. “If he can go to that extent, I will kneel down and call him ‘lord’ right away.”
Alex shook his head. “I don’t like to become someone’s lord. I would like to become a daddy, though, so you can call me ‘daddy’ instead.”
The woman’s jovial expressions instantly stiffened. “Are you taking advantage of me?”
Lorelei stopped her sisters with a wave of a hand. She then looked at Alex “Tell us then. Why do you have the aura of the Great Star Pill on you? Where did you get it from?”
“Someone gave it to me.”
“Get lost! How about you try asking someone to give it to me?”
Next to them, a woman in green shouted, “No! I sensed the aura of my blood essence emanating from his body! It’s really the Great Star Pill that we have concocted! We’ve successfully produced it, but it went into him for some reason!”
“What?”
“Ah! I sense it too! It’s really our blood essence!”
“Brat, tell us quickly. How did you acquire the pill?” The women’s eyes gleamed. Such a process was simply too fantastic.
A random guy they had dragged to become a janitor had given them such a great ‘surprise’. Even after beating their brains out, they could not tell how the pill ended in his body.
The young lord smiled. “Lorelei, I didn’t expect such a great surprise from you guys! You really managed to concoct a Great Star Pill! There is definitely something weird about this brat. If he could survive after consuming the Great Star Pill, he must have some great secrets and grand opportunities…”
At that moment, Lorelei suddenly said, “I remember now. Back when I sensed his presence, someone seemed to be undergoing Tribulation Crossing. It was the Lightning Tribulation of some demonic cultivator with great intensity. Could it be… Was it you?”
“What exactly is your cultivation?”
The young lord said, “Cut the crap! I’ll search his soul directly! How dare you steal my Great Star Pill?! Do you know who I am? I am the seed of the universe, the Messiah that will save it. Now, I need you to hand over all your opportunities, luck, and secrets. Are you willing to do so?”
‘A seed?’ Alex squinted. It turned out that he was the seed Heavenly Emperor Genbu had mentioned.
Once, Heavenly Emperor Genbu had also asked him to substitute for the seed so that he could block calamities from happening to it.
However…
Now that the seed wanted his life, he wouldn’t be that brainless. Looking at the seed, Alex sighed gently. “I think you have somewhat failed your ancestors’ expectations.”
“What did you say?”
“I’m saying that you are unworthy of becoming the seed!”
At that moment, no one noticed that the eyes of the statue in the shrine, the one Alex had wiped repeatedly and had it stripped, started to move. It even blinked gently.
The statue had come to life.
Initially trapped in a certain hazy gray space, the woman sent a stream of consciousness onto the statue. She was infuriated.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3009
How could her substitute, a statue, be desecrated in such a manner?
In ancient times, Emperor Zeke had disrespected Gaea, leading to the destruction of his country.
Currently, not only was Alex committing blasphemy, but he was committing a heinous crime. Thus, she had to grind his bones into ashes.
However…
It was then she heard a quarrel. It seemed that misfortune was about to befall that bast*rd.
The woman was instantly delighted since someone had stepped in to teach that sinner a lesson, undoubtedly a lot better than doing it herself. Hence, she decided to stay put and watch his suffering from afar.
At that moment, things nearly went out of control. Alex’s boldness exceeded everyone’s imagination. As they defended their lord anxiously, Lorelei and the other women couldn’t wait to kill Alex.
“Wait a minute!” the seed shouted, attempting to stop them.
“Young Lord, this guy said a load of bullsh*t and insulted you! He shall be punished for his misdemeanor!” said a woman.
“He deserves to be killed, of course!” The seed’s voice sounded indifferent with a hint of cruelty. He then stared at Alex and said, “However, this guy has some great secrets and holds grand opportunities. As the seed, I am obligated to take over his opportunities! Moreover, he seems to know about my existence, judging from his words. Tell me. Who told you about me?”
Presently, Ancestor Bodhi telepathically spoke to Alex’s mind place, telling him that everything was ready and he could escape at any time. Alex’s lips curled, and his restless mind calmed down.
Nonetheless, unbeknownst to him, the statue in the shrine had captured this secret move.
‘This is… The Ancestral Bodhi Tree? This sinner has a trick up his sleeve! Anyhow, his trump card is futile in my eyes! I’ll make you happy now, but later, you can’t even cry if you want to!’
At that thought, the female statue’s lips slowly curved upwards.
She quickly looked down at the paper clothes that Alex had made for her. Wearing paper clothes was uncomfortable, especially because it. felt slightly prickly and itchy at the belly. Now that she had projected a stream of consciousness into the statue, she could feel the sensation. The itch was truly unbearable, so she hurriedly reached out and scratched it for a while.
She would definitely go mad if someone were to discover this scene. Despite all of that, nobody seemed to notice her.
At that moment, Alex said, “Actually, I once knew an old man who preferred to die in the hands of the Undead Queen to hide your identity! And, I once promised him that I would become a fake seed to remove calamities on behalf of the real seed. For that reason, I ended up on the Undead Queen’s hit list.”
“What? Someone asked you to become a fake seed? What capabilities do you have?” The seed was astonished. “Also, who was that old man?”
“Hahaha…” Alex laughed. “What capabilities do I have? Now, I suddenly think that the great Genbu’s death really wasn’t worth it.”
The female statue’s hand trembled…
‘The great Genbu is dead?’
On the other hand, the seed finally knew the identity of the great Genbu that Alex just mentioned. “You’re talking about the old tortoise! What? Did he just die? I thought he died three millennia ago! He lived long enough if he managed to live for another three millennia. Many people didn’t live as long as he did back then.”
Alex shook his head. “If he were to know that you, the person he tried so hard to protect, would have such attitude, he wouldn’t rest peacefully, right?”
The seed said with a smile, “What does it have to do with me if he can’t rest in peace? I am the seed! They did it of their own volition! Fine! Since you are the fake seed, all the more reason for you to serve me. I will give you a chance of survival. Let go of your mind and let me probe your memories.
