Ch. 1411..1420

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1411

If anyone were to find out that the dignified Lord Commander of Department Six was crawling on the ground, his face full of tears and snot and constantly knocking his forehead on the ground, crying and begging loudly, asking for Alex and Phoebe to have mercy on him and let him go, their jaws would definitely be slacked with shock.

Lord Commander, just hearing the name was enough to know that the name itself held a lot of power. The title was just one step away from racing to the top of the world.

Who wouldn’t look down from high above, looking down on the common people?

Before today, Grant Xenos was indeed a person like that. Other than those in charge in America, no one else was worth noticing in his eyes, and he believed himself to be above every single person.

However, now, all his pride, his thoughts, and everything he had were ruthlessly and utterly crushed. His view of the world had been severely undermined. It turned out that cultivators truly existed!

However, it seemed that Yuno completely ignored.

Grant’s soft pleading, and she turned to say to Alex, “Hey, kid, what do you think?”

“What did you call me?” Alex was stunned, looking at her face in surprise.

The face was still the one that belonged to Phoebe. However, the look in her eyes and her demeanor was completely a different person’s.

“At your age, aren’t you a kid in my eyes?”

“Ugh…”

“So? This guy is supposed to serve you as a servant. Will he be able to give more protection in the future when you’re protecting me?” Yuno said lightly. “Of course, you can also choose just to kill him! With your talent and luck, I believe that you can catch up to him in about half a year, and you can also choose to kill him then.”

If it were before, Grant would sneer when he heard such words and the person who said it would pay a heavy price for such a thought.

But now, after seeing what Yuno had done, things that he had never even heard of before, the state of his mind had exploded entirely.

He hurriedly begged loudly, “No, don’t kill me! Alex, I’m the Lord Commander of Department Six, and I have the supreme rights and authority in America. With my assistance, you can do anything you want in the country. Yes, weren’t you looking into the matter of your father’s death? I can help you. I know a lot about your father.”

As soon as Alex heard this, he was shocked, and he said, “Really? Fine, then, tell me honestly now everything.”

Grant was bargaining. “I can tell you, but you have to swear that you won’t ever kill me! I’ve read some records in some ancient books. I know that you cultivators pay a lot of attention to the vows that you make. Otherwise, you’d become a demon in the future, right? As long as you’re willing to swear, I will tell you everything! I can tell you a little now. Your father is not dead!”

Alex narrowed his eyes.

His guesses had been confirmed, and a burst of happiness and excitement flowed through him. He looked at Yuno, and she had an expression that implied she wouldn’t interfere. Alex had to decide for himself.

“Alright, I can swear an oath! With the heavens above and the earth beneath us as our witness, I, Alex, swear here that I will never personally kill Grant Xenos. If I break this oath, the sky will strike me down!”

The moment Grant heard that he immediately felt relieved. But, the moment Grant thought about Alex, his head exploded.

“Y-You… Don’t forget that you just swore an oath.”

“Of course I wouldn’t forget. That’s the reason why I haven’t killed you on the spot. But, I can still punish you and let you bear the most painful punishment of your soul!” Alex said coldly. “Now that we’ve made a contract, I am your master. To dare to threaten your master, I’m teaching you a lesson so that you won’t forget it and remember it in your heart!”

After a full minute, the excruciating pain that Grant felt in his soul suddenly stopped. He was already covered in cold sweat at this time, and he deeply felt an inevitable fear and awe toward Alex.

He earnestly said, “Yes, Master. This old slave will remember.”

Yuno suddenly put up a finger and swiped it on Grant’s clothes.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1412

A piece of something fell off, and taking a closer look revealed it to be a tortoiseshell. It had a round hole on it, and a red string was strung through it. Grant had been wearing it previously.

Alex picked up the tortoiseshell and asked, “Is this… The Holy Book?”

Although Grant didn’t want to admit it, he had already arrived at this situation, and there was no point in resisting anymore. He nodded and said, “Replying to the Master, yes, this is the Holy Book that your father picked up from an abandoned ship under the sea. It was passed into this slave’s hands, but the core inside it had been taken by your father early on, and now it should be in Master’s hands.”

Alex shook his head. “You’re wrong. I didn’t get the Holy Book. I’ve told you this several times.”

“How is that possible?” Grant said, disbelief clear on his face. “If you didn’t get it, then what about the tortoise armor that you’ve used before? What was that?”

At this time, Yuno snorted coldly and said, “What a fool! Did you think that there would be a martial arts secret in this tortoiseshell? Do you even know what this is?”

“Isn’t this… Isn’t this the Holy Book?”

“What it’s called doesn’t matter, but the important thing is that there’s no secret martial arts technique in this, neither are there any cultivation techniques inside it.”

“Then, what in the hell is this?” Alex was the one to ask this.

“This, this is called Heaven’s Diagram, also known as Heaven’s Coordinates!” Yuno said with a small smile.

“A diagram?” Alex exclaimed in surprise.

Yuno nodded, then with a slender finger, she traced the tortoiseshell, drawing runes where her fingers glided past. In the next moment, bursts of light emitted from the tortoiseshell.

The surface of the shell seemed to come alive. Countless runes surged up before bursting outward like a sea of stars. And then, a complex and magnificent starry sky map appeared in front of them.

This scene stunned Alex and Grant.

However, this map was not complete. Very soon, it faded from their sight.

The tortoiseshell also returned to its dormant state.

Yuno said, “This Heaven’s Diagram from the Holy Book is quite peculiar. Some famous artist probably made it. I can’ t activate the full content for display with my current physical abilities, and I can only read a small part of it. But, once I reach the rank of Spirit Severing, it shouldn’t be a problem then! Using such advanced techniques to record a map should be an important place. However…”

“However?” Granat asked anxiously.

It had been a long time since he had gotten his hands on this map. But, he still couldn’t understand the mystery behind it, and now that Yuno had shown him those things, he was extremely shocked. Deep down, he was eager to get detailed information on this matter. Otherwise, it was a waste to all those years he had been busy trying to figure it out.

“Just having the Heaven’s Diagram is useless. You still need a key.”

“With the key and the map, you’d be able to find the place based on the map and be able to see where it is.”

Alex’s eyes flashed, immediately thinking of the key in Caesar’s tomb.

‘Could it be the key corresponding to the Holy Book?’

“Grant, what do you know about my father? You can tell me now, right?”

Grant replied, “If I’m not wrong, your father probably faked his death and then went somewhere.”

“Where did he go? And why?”

“It may be related to your mother’s illness.”

“What? What nonsense is that? What illness does my mother have?”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1413

When Alex had first obtained the Ultimate Book of Medicine, he had carefully inspected his mother’s body. She was now very healthy. How did she show that she had an illness?

However, when he pressed for more details, Grant Xenos shook his head and replied, “I don’t know the specifics. It’s all just hearsay, and it sounded dire. As for why your mother doesn’t show any signs of illness, I don’t know either.”

Alex frowned deeply. However, even after thinking for a while, he still couldn’t figure it out.

Now that Grant was his servant via the Soul Contract, it was clear that he wasn’t lying.

Right now, he couldn’t figure out the truth, but what surprised Alex even more, was the place in front of him. They had been above the sea earlier. How did he wake up here? Could it be that he had been unconscious for longer than he thought?

As a result, he was shocked when he asked.

“What?!”

“This is a force field hidden in the sea? The entire island is surrounded by a force field?”

That was incredible.

Alex understood the power of an array and formations, but it was a huge deal to set up such a large formation enhancement.

The spiritual and magical tools used must have been massive.

At this time, Yuno said, “What’s so great about the force field? It’s nothing more than an enchantment on a square inch of land, and it was done by borrowing the power of nature! The Holy Book in your hand, the place it points to, at minimum, would be a small world on its own. It’s also a small universe on its inside! Alright, I’m not interested in this enchantment, but I feel there may be some great things in the depths of this island.”

Grant pointed to the palace that was hidden by the dark. “In there?”

Yuno nodded. “Most probably!”

Grant’s eyes widened as he looked at the magnificent palace that stood in front of him like a giant beast, and for a moment, his heart surged. As Lord Commander of Department Six, he had longed for the path of cultivation. It was unfortunate that he had spent so much time yet could not obtain any secrets to any cultivation techniques. It seemed as though everything was just some myth made up by ancient people.

However, now, the truth was here.

Alex wanted to go over and find out, too.

Yuno said, “This may be a sect that has been leftover by the ancient times. Then, the sect was destroyed for some reason, but the force field that guards the sect still exists. Countless things like this happened before, and that’s how some of the so-called secret realms, Holy Land, came into existence.”

Grant looked at Yuno and finally asked the question that had been on his mind the whole time. “Miss Larsen, from what I know, you’ve always been an ordinary doctor. Not too long ago, your innocence had nearly been tainted, but with the abilities you’ve displayed now, I believe that even the ancestor of the Glen family wouldn’t be able to handle you. I really don’t understand.”

Yuno didn’t want to bother so much with just Alex’s servant and said, “There are a lot of things you don’t understand, and I can’t tell you! If you properly follow your master’s orders, then I may be able to. In the future, he will leak out some things for you. You’ll find it very useful!”

Grant felt moved by that.

But then, he shook his head. “My initial ultimate goal was to break through into the rank of Martial Honor to become a Martial Saint like in the legends. But, I now understand that there is always someone better out in the world, and everything I’ve chased for, in the eyes of you people, is just a joke! Now, I’m already more than seventy years old. How many years do Ihave left to live? It’s enough now just to see a real cultivation master, and I’m satisfied.”

Yuno snorted. “How short-sighted! When you’ve stepped into the realm of cultivation, increasing your lifespan is just a small matter. So what if you’re in your seventies? That’s still considered to be just a baby!”

They walked toward the palace. However, at this moment, in the direction of the palace, streams of light suddenly lit up the place.

Snap, snap, snap!

The lights in the palace lit up one by one. Soon, the entire place was brightly lit.

All three of them were stunned, looking at each other.

“There are people in the palace?”

“There are still people from the sect who are alive?!”

Yuno immediately waved her hand. “Come, let’s go and see!”

All three were masters, and even though Phoebe’s body was as weak as a chicken’s, with Yuno’s blessing, her strength had significantly increased.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1414

In fact, her body had constantly been absorbing the essence that was around the world. Compared to the outside cities, the essence on this mysterious island was a hundred times more efficient and sufficient. Endless essence bounced around, as though dancing in a lively manner all around them.

While Phoebe was absorbing the essence, Alex had also absorbed a lot of it.

The three of them moved like ghosts in the night, quickly advancing. In the end, when they were almost two kilometers away, the sound of a song suddenly came from the palace.

“Love is like a hungry wolf. How can it be held to sleep.”

“It will need to commemorate me by leaving me a deep scar.”

“Love is like a hungry wolf, its mouth beyond sweet.”

“If you come and play with it, it will lash out fiercely…”

When the familiar rhythm echoed out of the palace, Alex was shocked.

Wasn’t this an old song from a famous Hong Kong singer, Jacky Cheung, ‘Legend of Hungry Wolf’?

In a sect left behind by who knew what ancient dynasty, this song was playing there? It left the people listening speechless. It was as though they had entered an ancient society and thought they had crossed worlds to arrive here, but it was just a movie filming base. Yet, it was just a movie filming base upon taking a closer look, and modern buildings could still be seen everywhere. In that case, what was the point of becoming excited by stumbling into this?

***

Very soon, the three of them approached the palace quietly.

The palace was indeed ancient, and it was unclear how long it had existed. However, the strange thing about it was that such an old palace was quite well preserved. Not even a single brick of it was damaged.

Inside the palace, there were loud sounds.

It was filled with all kinds of howls that sounded excited and strange, as though someone was learning how to howl like a wolf.

And outside the palace, not a single shadow was in sight to guard the area. It looked as though the people inside didn’t think that anyone would break in here.

Alex and the others quickly approached the palace and even passed through a side door, hiding behind a giant pillar. Fortunately, it didn’t seem like anyone noticed their presence.

“Today, it’s the annual bathing day!”

“The Master is away, but we cannot leave the bathing day to be wasted. Today, let me, Nier Yggdrasil, host it for everyone on behalf of the Master!”

“Everyone, kneel and worship sincerely!”

The one who spoke was a beautiful young woman. She was dressed in white, looking holy and noble, and her voice flowed like honey.

In the next moment, everyone below her had knelt and shouted together, “Long live Lord Leviathan! Long live Leviathan Gate! Long live Sect Master! Long live Holy Maiden!”

Alex and Grant gasped when they heard the words shouted by those people. They didn’t expect that they would unexpectedly run into Leviathan Gate’s nest. Before this, the Divine Constabulary and Department Six had been desperately searching for Leviathan Gate’s existence, but no matter how much they searched, they couldn’t find anything. It was as if they didn’t exist in this world at all. Unexpectedly, the headquarters of Leviathan Gate existed in this sort of place.

In the very next moment, a woman walked out of the palace hall.

Getting a clear look at her face, Alex’s eyes widened, and he wondered if he had made a mistake.

Grant was also extremely surprised and exclaimed in surprise in a low voice, “It’s her!”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1415

The woman turned out to be Snow Whitney. Michigan’s Zimmer family, Quentin Zimmer’s wife, Easton, and Viole’s mother.

Alex never imagined that he would see this woman in Leviathan Gate’s headquarters.

Grant was also beyond surprise.

Just a few days ago, when Elder Crain left, and Alex, Geronimo, and everyone else had also left, Snow had talked to him for a while and even had a meal with him. Snow was someone good at socializing and was flexible when it came to pleasing others. After they had eaten, she had given him something he couldn’t refuse… A longevity pill.

Just consuming one would be able to extend one’s life by five years.

To someone his age, the temptation to prolong his life for another five years was too great to refuse. Naturally, he needed to pay a small price for it, and he had helped arrange a position for Snow in Department Six. From then on, Snow was considered to be a member of Department Six.

Seeing Snow in a place like this, Grant felt like giving himself two big slaps.

The Holy Maiden, Nier, saw Snow walking in, and there was a look of awe in her eyes. She looked at Leviathan Gate’s worshippers, who were kneeling below, then turned and bowed down to Snow and said respectfully, “Nier Yggdrasil bids Holy Emissary welcome!”

When this happened, Alex and Grant were dumbfounded.

“I can understand a Holy Maiden, but what the heck is a Holy Emissary? It looks like her position is even higher than that of the Holy Maiden!” Grant was just too surprised. According to his understanding, an emissary was generally one with the power to influence both the upper and lower management and a representative of both sides. Since they don’t look like a superior and a subordinate, it must be that the Holy Emissary was on the greater side of the power. Then, was there a more prominent organization above Leviathan Gate?

Alex shook his head.

At this moment, Snow had waved her hand lightly. “Everyone, rise!”

After all of them got up from their knees, Snow said arrogantly, “I heard that today is your annual bathing day at Leviathan Gate. Lord Leviathan is always within you, and though I am not from Leviathan Gate, I would also like to participate in your prosperous event. I wonder what everyone thinks about it?”

The Holy Maiden, Nier, immediately replied, “It is the greatest honor for us in Leviathan Gate should the Holy Emissary join us for our annual bath day, and it is also the greatest honor to me. If the master is here, he would also welcome you with open arms! Our sect master still often talks about when he will invite the masters from the Holy Church to come to Leviathan Gate. That would surely be the greatest honor, and if we die right away after that, we can also die in peace.”

“There will be chances for that!” Snow said with a smile. “As long as Leviathan Gate concentrates on doing their thing and makes more contribution to the Holy Church, the master of the Holy Church will definitely come here.”

After a pause, her expression suddenly became cold, and she said, “Naturally, I came today not only for the annual bathing day but with instructions from the Holy Church!”

As soon as she said that, the people from Leviathan Gate, who had stood up, knelt once again.

In the next second, Snow pulled out a yellow parchment, the shape of it resembling the imperial decree issued by ancient emperors.

There was also the shape of a dragon on the back of it.

“They’re acting like they’re some kind of emperor!” Alex said in a hushed voice.

Grant said, “Looks like this Holy Church’s plan isn’t something small.”

Yuno seemed utterly uninterested in their conversation. Her entire focus was at the depths of the palace. Just as Alex and Grant were both staring at Snow, she found something else that she wanted.

“Let’s go inside. I think I know what I want!”

“With this thing, my physical body will advance to Spirit Severance rank much faster,” Yuno said to Alex.

“Wait!” Alex grabbed her hand. “Let’s listen to what else she has to say.”

Yuno looked at him grabbing her hand, and frowned. Although this physical body wasn’t her own, all senses from this body, including touch, could be felt by her soul when she had taken it over. Up till now, even during her lifetime, her dainty, smooth hands had never been grabbed like this before. The first thing she wanted to do was shake it away and slap him for holding her.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1416

However, she thought about how Phoebe was one of Alex’s people, while Yuno herself was an outsider.

‘Whatever! It’s not like this is my body!’

When she thought about it this way, she didn’t shake her hand loose and allowed Alex to grab it.

Snow finally spoke, “The Holy Church has ordered that the Sky Tower project in Michigan needs to be taken over by us. Whoever dares to get in the way will be an enemy of the Holy Church! Once the Sky Tower project has been won, the four great masters of the Holy Church will personally come here to lead all of you!”

The people below bellowed, “We will follow the decree!”

Snow continued, “In addition, this messenger has successfully infiltrated Department Six, but now I need a few clever right hand men to help me take root in Department Six to cultivate my influence. After the annual bathing day, Holy Maiden, you will sort things out and hand me a list of recommendations. I require twenty masters.”

Nier Yggdrasil was surprised. “Holy Emissary, Department Six is the most important hidden department in America. It’s extremely difficult to join them. How in the world did you manage? And to be able to cultivate your influence inside there?”

Snow smiled smugly. “What is so difficult about it? Everyone has a weakness. As long as you look carefully, you can find them! I went to the Lord Commander of Department Six, Grant Xenos. This guy is stubborn, ambitious, and the key is that he’s terrified of death. This messenger had used a small trick using a fake longevity pill to cheat and obtained his trust.”

When he heard this, Alex almost burst out laughing.

He turned to Grant “So, you’ve already been seen through early on!”

Grant was seething on the inside, and he was almost tempted to leap out of his hiding place and rush out there.

But then, the Leviathan Gate’s annual bathing day had begun.

The group of people stood in a certain area, divided into two groups, one man and one woman. Door panels separated the middle of the area, but what stunned people was that all of the people from Leviathan Gate, including the Holy Maiden, Nier, started to undress.

One by one, they stripped themselves bare. It so happened that the place Alex and the others were hiding, were on the woman’s side.

Yuno didn’t have any feelings from seeing this.

However, blood nearly sprayed out of Alex and Grant’s noses.

It had to be said that the Leviathan Gate’s female disciples were generally above average in terms of appearances, and coupled with the fact that they trained every day, their figures were also perfect. A dozen or hundreds of women who weren’t wearing anything appearing like this all of a sudden, no man could control their natural urges.

In the next moment, patterns started to appear on the floor where these people were standing, which finally formed into runes.

When the runes appeared, numerous densely packed small tiny holes appeared on the ground.

Woosh, woosh!

Wisps of white smoke started pouring out of those holes. It formed a thick white mist above them, which came down on the people’s heads.

“Spiritual rain?!” Alex was shocked.

This was the bathe they were talking about? Wasn’t this a bit too extravagant?

For a moment, Alex also wanted to rush out and take a bath with them.

However, it seemed that Yuno could guess his thoughts, and she pulled him close and said, “Let’s go! What’s so rare about some spiritual liquid? If I’m not mistaken, the source lies in the spiritual vein deep within the palace. We can head over now and cut off this spiritual vein.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1417

All the men and women who were bathing in the spiritual rain had their eyes closed, enjoying the peace of the moment.

Alex could understand why they had to take off their clothes now because they wanted their bodies to absorb more of the spiritual essence. They wanted all the skin on their bodies to be exposed to the spiritual rain, and wearing clothes would significantly reduce the effect.

However, compared to actual cultivators, their method could only be said to be wasteful.

They didn’t have any foundation base in cultivation and didn’t know how to absorb the essence properly. The amount of essence that was passively absorbed through their skins was minimal. Most of the essence from the spiritual rain scattered and drifted out of the palace, entering various parts of the island. However, because of the force field around the island, it didn’t drift over the seas.

Alex and the others retreated quietly and walked deeper into the palace. No one had noticed their presence.

“What’s a spiritual vein?” Grant asked.

“You’ll know when you see it,” Alex replied because he had never seen one himself.

The entire palace had also been placed under layers upon layers of restriction formations and arrays.

For example, there was no magic formation other than the formation for the spiritual rain in the outermost hall. Still, if one walked about a hundred meters from the hall, there was a formation that restricted entry. Those who didn’t understand the formation would try to break through it with brute force.

“Alex, do you know about formations?” Yuno asked calmly as she glanced at Alex.

When Phoebe called his name, it was purely playful and in jest. However, when Yuno called his name, it sounded completely different. It was like an old queen summoning a small eunuch to her side.

This made Alex’s heart break.

He nodded. “No problem.”

The levels of these restriction formations were average, and he could easily crack the principle of the formation using his Third Eye. After the formation was broken, he could enter the place as though it was the back garden of his own home. It didn’t take long before they reached the deepest part of the palace and found the spiritual vein Yuno had talked about.

“Huh? Where’s Grant?” Alex turned around and suddenly found that Grant had disappeared.

“That guy is too useless. He took the wrong path somewhere in the middle and got caught by the formation,” Yuno said. “Don’t bother about him for now. We can fish him out later. Anyway, he’s just an ordinary person, so it isn’t like he would be of much help.”

Alex nodded.

The spiritual vein in front of them was in the depths of the palace under a small pool of water.

Above the water were carved beams and painted walls, and there were also twelve human-shaped stone sculptures.

It wasn’t a meaningless decoration, as every stone sculpture made up part of the formation. The spiritual rain sprayed in the hall was inseparable from these stone sculptures. Each stone sculpture held a container in its hands, and inside them was the highest concentration of essence.

“Inside these containers is where the spiritual liquid is stored. The essence has been concentrated and condensed into liquid form, and with the help of these formations, the spiritual essence in the liquid is diluted. It will then shower those people outside with the spiritual essence.”

Yuno could tell it all with just a glance, the principle of the formation. “This is a reward issued by the sect to its disciples. It’s a pity that those common people outside don’t know how to utilize it properly. Alex, absorb all the essence from within these containers, and if there is excess, find something to store it in.”

After she said that, she added, “With your capabilities right now, drinking one is the limit!”

Alex had already intended to absorb it since earlier on, but he still made a point to ask politely, “Don’t you want it?”

Yuno shook her head. “My physical body right now is fragile, and it won’t be able to endure the effect from such a high concentration of essence. The moment I drink it, this body will be useless.”

Alex didn’t talk any more nonsense after that, and he grabbed a container directly and took a sip.

Immediately, a huge stream of earth energy surged into his body, spreading out through his limbs… It was refreshing, as though all the pores in his body had relaxed, absorbing all the energy frantically. The Force that was inside his body also automatically rose and started working.

He immediately took a second sip, then third… The entire container filled with essence had been emptied into his stomach. This was a tremendous amount of energy in there.

Alex also felt that downing one container was already his limit with his capabilities. There was a burning sensation in all the meridians within his body. If he were to drink anymore, he was worried that his meridians would burst, and he would die.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1418

However, in the next second, the Chaos Bead in his mind palace suddenly started to shake.

Immediately afterward, it was as though a giant whale was absorbing water, and the tremendous energy in his body was emptied from his brain. Not only was the burning sensation gone from his meridians, but even his own spiritual powers within his body had been drawn out.

Even after the spiritual powers in his meridians had been emptied, it began to draw the spiritual powers from his energy core.

‘F*ck!’

‘What the f*ck is going on? This sh*tty Chaos Bead. It’s not something that suddenly decided to go against me, right?!’

He was very worried.

If his powers continued to be drawn like this, even his energy core would be exhausted. He would be thoroughly drained and would drop dead. In the next moment, he immediately ran to the statue next to him to pick up the container and drank it.

It was effective!

The Chaos Bead was no longer drawing powers from his energy core but the spiritual liquid!

However, it wasn’t enough.

He needed more!

He continued!

The third container, the fourth container, the fifth container…

Yuno, who was standing at the side, was stunned before she hurriedly called out for him to stop, “You’re crazy, you’re just a small Divine Transcendence rank, and you’re drinking so much spiritual liquid. Aren’t you afraid that you’re going to blow up? Hurry up and stop. You’re going to die. Do you think you’re at Spirit Severance rank?!”

Alex didn’t stop. “If I don’t drink, I’ll die.” Having said that, he immediately downed the sixth container, the seventh container…

Yuno watched on, dumbfounded.

Even with her insight, she couldn’t understand what was going on.

However, she could see that there wasn’t any indication that Alex was going to blow up. Instead, his body was like a bottomless pit. Except for the first container that he had drunk, the following spiritual liquid he drank felt like nothing! At that time, she had been puzzled, but she was sure these liquids were really spiritual liquids and not fakes mixed into the water. The only explanation was that there was something strange going on in Alex’s body.

She stopped talking. She wanted to see how many containers Alex could finish.

In the end, she watched with her own eyes as Alex emptied all twelve containers of spiritual liquid into his stomach.

“That’s all? Is there any more?”

Alex had made an entire round and drank all the spiritual liquid, but the Chaos Bead was still greedily absorbing everything with no indication that it was going to stop any time soon. It turn ed its attention to his energy core once again, and he was just about to curse up a storm at that.

‘Guilherme, you old thief, you were deliberately pitting against him!’

However, the Chaos Bead stopped after drawing out about half of his spiritual powers in his energy core.

Swoosh!

It left his mind palace ultimately, hovering between Alex’s eyebrows.

Immediately afterward, the mysterious head in Alex’s energy core, as well as the Celestial Oceanic Bead that he had gotten from Hayley Hanson’s father, also flew out together.

After a while, the three beads merged.

No, it was the Chaos Bead that had absorbed the other two beads, and the size of it remained unchanged.

Soon, it once again entered Alex’s mind palace.

Yuno, who was beside him, saw everything that happened clearly and was stunned. Her jaw was slack. After a long while, she finally said to Alex enviously, “The luck of your Rockefeller family is really unreasonable. A supernatural little thief like you havemanaged to get the approval of Mother Chaos, and you’ve even obtained two of the broken Chaos Beads.”

Alex studied her expression. At this moment, it felt as though she wanted to snatch the Chaos Bead that he had.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1419

Alex hadn’t wanted Yuno to know about the few beads he had since the beginning. Who knew what ghostly incarnation Yuno was?

What if she turned out to be some vicious woman?

Judging from the tone of her speech, she was an old monster that was older than his grandparents. However, what could he do when the beads had jumped out all on their own?

The matter was divided into two ends now. Yuno insisted that the bead was Mother Chaos and not the Chaos Bead. However, she had also said that the mysterious bead and the Celestial Oceanic Bead were broken Chaos beads. Adding on the fact that the three beads had now become one, what she had made some sense.

“What is Mother Chaos?” Alex asked.

“Have you heard of the Chaos Bead? According to legends, the Chaos Bead is the most precious treasure that appeared when the world was in chaos during ancient times and when the heavens and earth were separated. It’s called one of the Four Great Chaotic Treasures. It’s infinitely powerful, but for some reason, this Chaos Bead was broken into twenty four Chaos Beads and one Mother Chaos. It’s already a great opportunity to get just one of them. I didn’t expect you to have three.”

“When the world was in chaos during ancient times? The heavens and earth separated?” Alex was stunned. He was a modern man, and he had naturally received modern education. The legend about the heavens and earth splitting open, he had heard it many times when he was younger. That was just myths. How could it be taken seriously?”

Even if he had received an inheritance from his ancestors that made him embark on the path of cultivation, wasn’t this just too exaggerated?

“Did Phanes, the primordial being, who separated heaven and earth, really existed?”

Yuno shrugged. “You’re asking me that? I don’t know. It’s just a legend.”

“Then, this Chaos Bead, isn’t it just a legend too?” Alex pointed out.

Yuno replied, “It’s true that I’ve only heard of the origin of the Chaos Bead. Who could have lived long enough from that ancient period till now? However, even if it’s a legend, I know the power of the Chaos Bead. I’ve seen it used before, and it was a boundless power that is formidable.”

At the same time, in the palace hall of Leviathan Gate’s headquarters.

The men and women who were bathing in the spiritual rain suddenly realized that the liquid had stopped pouring, and no more spiritual rain was forthcoming. Even the ancient formation around the hall seemed to have lost its power, and all the runes that flowed beneath their feet had also stopped.

“What’s going on? Why did the holy water bath stop?” One of the younger disciples from Leviathan Gate asked aloud.

They had described the spiritual rain as holy water.

“Yeah, Holy Maiden, I heard that the annual bath day for Leviathan Gate lasts for at least one hour, but it’s only been five minutes at most right now. Why did it suddenly stop?” Snow asked, an unsatisfied expression on her face.

Snow had gone through the trouble of traveling such a long distance to come here for the sole purpose to bathe in the holy water. She was different from the others. Even her junior sister, Sister Flora, was an actual cultivator, and Snow’s cultivation was only stronger than hers, so naturally, Snow was also an actual cultivator.

The people from Leviathan Gate didn’t know how to absorb the essence from the spiritual rain properly, but she did.

When the spiritual rain had rained down upon her body, she didn’t need words to describe how happy she was. Even in the Holy Church, such benefits were rarely seen and even more rare to obtain.

If it could last for an hour, she believed that she could absorb 80% of the essence from the spiritual rain, which would help her break through her current rank. However, she didn’t expect it to be gone just after five minutes, which was such a short period.

Could she be happy with just that?

Nier replied, “I don’t know either!”

Snow frowned and said, “Has something gone wrong with the formation here? Or, the mechanism for the spiritual rain has been broken? Could you get someone to fix it quickly?”

Nier smiled bitterly. “Holy Emissary, to be honest, even our sect master can’t figure out the source of the spiritual rain, so we have no way of knowing! As for why the spiritual rain only lasted for five minutes, and nothing else is coming out now, we can’t fix it because, in the depths of the palace, there are restriction formations everywhere, and we are not able to go in at all.”

After that, they waited another five minutes.

Still, nothing came out.

Everyone on the scene was extremely disappointed. Snow was not willing to let it go just like this.

This was a rare, once in a lifetime opportunity. It had taken her a long time to get permission from the Holy Church to come here and participate in the bath. As for the formations, she happened to have some knowledge about them as she had researched a little before.

She immediately said, “I’ve studied formations and arrays before. I will try and see. Perhaps there really has been a problem.”

In her mind, if she could find the source of the spiritual rain, then why would she still need to take a bath with them? Wouldn’t it be better if she just soaked in it? Right now, she had to look at all these people in front of her, who were as foolish as pigs, and even take off her clothes alongside them, it really made her speechless.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1420

Nier Yggdrasil’s eyes lit up. “That’s great! I’ll go with you!”

Splash!

Splash!

Two splashes.

Alex and Yuno jumped into the pool, one after another.

“Hiss, it’s cold!

“Alex, come here and give me some warmth!”

Once Yuno jumped into the pool, she immediately raised her head and shouted at Alex loudly.

In just a few seconds, she was already shaking from the cold, and her lips had also turned purple. If it went on any longer, she was afraid that she would just end up freezing and sinking into the water.

Seeing her in such a state, Alex didn’t dare to dally any longer than necessary. So, he swam over and wrapped his arm around her waist. Then, he activated the Mystic Armor to build a shield around their bodies. At the same time, he also pushed his spiritual power from the Force into her body, alleviating the chills she felt.

Yuno breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I forgot just now just how weak my physical body is. It couldn’t bear the cold at all. When we get down there, I can only guide you on intercepting the spiritual vein from the side. The actual operation will have to depend on you.”

“Alright.”

Just as Alex finished speaking, Yuno’s expression changed again, her breath coming in short puffs. It looked as though she couldn’t get enough air.

Alex asked strangely, “What’s wrong?”

Yuno had difficulty speaking. “There’s no air here. I’m out of breath.”

That was because Alex had already taken her down to the bottom of the pool and was swimming deeper in. Alex was stunned, and he stopped quickly to ask, “Then, should I take you back?”

However, Yuno was already about to suffocate. The body she had possessed was just an ordinary person. Even if she was a powerful existence, she needed to accept the harsh conditions of the living. The strength of the soul didn’t reflect the effectiveness of a physical body.

“Ugh…”

Alex didn’t have any other way and sealed her lips in a kiss, pouring a burst of Chi into her as she did.

This burst of Chi was like oxygen.

However, he couldn’t do it through the palm of his hand. One worked on the heart and lungs, while the other worked on the meridians. .

Yuno’s eyes widened instantly, and she stared at him unblinkingly.

In her eyes was shock, panic, and a sense of novelty. Then, her gaze turned furious. “Presumptuous, how dare you kiss me?”

Alex smacked his lips. “I’m saving you… No, I’m saving Phoebe.”

Yuno angrily said, “The one in control of this body is me right now. Kissing her is equivalent to kissing me! Phoebe doesn’t feel it at all. I’m the one who does.”

They were talking about feelings now?!

Oh my god, Alex felt a little sick.

He said helplessly, “Do you think I wanted to do that? You’re ancient, even older than my grandmother, and all your teeth have probably fallen out already. I’m the one who feels a little sick. If you have the abilities not to be using Phoebe’s body, I guarantee I would not have kissed you.”

“You… Whose teeth have all fallen out?! My actual physical body‘s many more times more beautiful than this Phoebe of yours.”

“That doesn’t change the fact that you’re ancient!”

“You…”

While speaking, Alex continued to move forward. Soon, he saw a white, snake like thing under the water, but it was so huge he couldn’t see its head.

Yuno said, “There, that’s the spiritual vein!”
