The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2041
“That stone is called the Reincarnation Stone! So, your sister was not born a mortal, she’s a reincarnation of some heavenly figure! The Reincarnation Stone constraints the soul imprint and the past life of the great figure. Your sister’s soul in this life just accompanies the great figure from birth. Once the great figure in the stone is completely awakened, it’s likely to…”
“What will happen?”
“Beatrice, it may no longer be the Dorothy we know.”
When Beatrice heard that, she was dumbfounded.
That was her blood sister! She couldn’t accept it emotionally!
She cried loudly and threw herself into Alex’s arms. At the same time, spiritual energy surged and Buddhist songs rang inside Kala Temple.
Ringing of the wooden bells sounded one after another. It was as though there were countless monks chanting scriptures to worship Buddha.
Beatrice straightened up abruptly and exclaimed, “What’s going on?!”
Alex was also extremely puzzled.
However, he could feel that the entire Kala Temple seemed to be trembling. The golden lake of divine power in his golden core also generated ripples and pulsating golden lights. There were also Buddhist songs ringing out from the surface, and scriptures were also born.
These Buddhist scriptures rushed out from his forehead and flew into Kala Temple.
Whoosh!
There was a tremor.
The Requiem Clock inside his mind palace unexpectedly rushed out at this moment and instantly flew into Kala Temple, floating high in the sky. He could tell that the location was directly above the pagoda.
“This…”
Alex was shocked. He didn’t understand the reason for it.
However, he knew that it definitely wasn’t a simple matter for a spiritual treasure like the Requiem Clock to have rushed out on its own.
Beatrice nervously asked, “Should we go over and take a look?”
Alex still remembered Dorothy’s reminder, so he didn’t dare to head over.
Just then, the Requiem Clock let out a loud ‘dong’. The sound seemed to come from the vast wilderness, rippling over the entire Kala Temple.
The next second, the sound of the wooden bells above the pagoda got louder, echoing in their ears. The chanting of the Buddhist songs also got more high pitched.
There were even streams of golden lights rising from the ground of Kala Temple. Those were the phantoms of golden Buddhas. There were millions of them. All of them rushed into the air, standing in the void. Between the opening and closing of their mouths, countless deafening chanting of Buddhist songs were sung.
Beatrice exclaimed, “Brother-in-law, what are all these golden Buddha phantoms? Are they welcoming the four children in my sister’s womb? It can’t be that my sister is giving birth to four golden Bodhisattva, right?”
Alex also jumped up. Of course, he noticed that something was not right.
Just then, there was a piercing scream from the pagoda. Then, it was an extremely domineering, mighty voice of the sky and earth. “So noisy, get out!”
Buzz!
The sky and earth trembled, as if Heaven itself had descended.
Numerous golden Buddha phantoms shattered instantly. As the golden light dissipated, the silence returned to Kala Temple returned once again.
Then, the mighty female voice sounded out once more. “Whose children are these? Where is their father? Get out here, right now!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2042
Standing under the towering gate of Kala Temple, Alex and Beatrice looked at each other and revealed expressions that were even worse than crying.
“My sister… Is she gone?”
“I’ll go take a look!”
Alex threw Beatrice off and instantly rushed into Kala Temple. After using his mysterious flash steps a few times, he was in front of the pagoda in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, someone kicked the pagoda’s gate open from the inside. Although it didn’t break, it trembled violently.
Alex watched the blood-drenched Dorothy walking slowly out of the pagoda.
Compared to before, Dorothy’s body was extremely emaciated. It could be said that she was as thin as a stick. She had a gaunt face and looked extremely old like a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties. Even her hair was gray and withered like a bale of straw. However, her gaze was extremely sharp, as if it were the stars in the sky and the bright moon on the sea surface.
The aura on her body resembled an ancient goddess, as though she had traveled here through an incomparably distant time.
When Alex and her made eye contact, he knew that it was over, she was no longer Dorothy Assex. Rather, it was the evil entity that had come out of the Reincarnation Stone.
Four babies floated in the air behind her, bobbing up and down and turning around, as though there were four ropes holding them.
They were quadruplets with two boys and two girls.
Alex could feel their bloodline connection. These four children were the crystallization of the love between Dorothy and himself. At the expense of her own blood essence and lifespan, Dorothy allowed them to grow up in advance and be born healthily.
However, Dorothy herself had disappeared. Tears fell silently from his eyes.
When Dorothy looked at Alex, she displayed an extremely annoyed expression. “You’re the childrens’ father? A… A weak ant-like cultivator? Let me see what’s so special about you!”
She reached out her hand and pressed it against Alex’s glabella.
For an instant, Alex felt that he couldn’t move nor speak. Her hand seemed to have some kind of magical power, searching around in his cardiac acupoint… Alex panicked. He didn’t know what kind of existence Dorothy Assex was right now, and there were many secrets hidden in his mind palace. Once she noticed them, he was afraid that she would be greedy for them.
However, at this moment, his golden core quivered. The Ancient Forbidden Spell of the Twelve Runes lit up simultaneously, covering his mind palace with a gush of mysterious power.
Dorothy searched around for a long time, but found nothing.
She sighed and released him. “You have nothing at all! Your cultivation is so bad, and the refined golden core is empty! How could I have given birth to four children with someone like you?”
As she spoke, tears spilled from her eyes.
Alex was stunned.
Just now, the Ancient Forbidden Spell of the Twelve Runes had used its mysterious power to cover the anomaly in his mind palace. Hence, the current Dorothy couldn’t see the contents inside and even thought that he had refined a useless golden core.
But, what was the situation with the sudden tears?
“My wife… Is she still alive?” He asked in a hoarse voice.
Dorothy didn’t answer, but continued crying. Finally, she sat down on the ground and bawled.
Alex was utterly dumbfounded.
‘What the f*ck? What’s with this situation? This woman can’t be a lunatic like the crazy woman back in Nature’s Palace, right?’
Following her emotional outburst, the four suspending children in the air also suffered from it. Without the support of her divine power, they fell to the ground like puppets with their strings cut Fortunately, their bodies were extremely strong having absorbed countless blood essence from Dorothy. Each one was powerful, flowing with golden luster.
Alex recalled what Beatrice had said just now…
After tens of thousands of Buddha phantoms had appeared to be in worship, four golden Bodhisattvas would be born.
‘Your careless words better don’t turn out to be a prophecy.’
The four babies fell on the ground and bawled. This scene was simply noisy. When Dorothy looked at them, she cried even louder and tears continued to stream down her cheeks.
Alex picked up a child, and then another. But, there were two more, and he didn’t have extra hands to pick them up.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2043
At this time, Beatrice arrived on scene.
Seeing the bawling Dorothy in front of her, she said in shock, “Sister, why are you crying?!”
Dorothy was hugging her knees with her chin pressed against them. She glanced at Beatrice with her red-rimmed eyes from crying. “Who are you? Do I know you?”
Beatrice was instantly taken aback. “I’m your sister! Blood… Sister…”
As she said those last few words, her voice was almost inaudible even to herself. After her eyes met with Alex’s, she hurriedly picked up the two randomly crawling babies on the ground and held them in her own arms.
“Why are they crying non-stop?” she asked.
“Your sister threw them on the ground.”
“What? They won’t get hurt from the fall, right?”
Dorothy glanced back at them and said, “They’ve gained the divine power that I hid inside the Reincarnation Stone. They’ve also absorbed two mouths of divinity from me. You can’t break them so easily just by tossing them on the ground. Even if you hit them with a hammer, they won’t break either.”
“Uh..?”
Both Alex and Beatrice were taken aback.
‘Is there even such a thing?! Wait, she just said… Divinity?!’
In his ancestor’s memories that he had acquired, there was a record that only deities were qualified to condense divinity. In other words, this woman hidden in the Reincarnation Stone, who seemed to be called Xienna Stoermer, was a goddess in her previous life! As expected, she was an existence that was at the same level as Ksitigarbha.
Moreover, she didn’t seem to… Look very fierce. She was just a little mad and kept crying!
Beatrice said, “They seem to be hungry? This… Do they want milk?”
Alex looked at Dorothy. “Anyhow, they’re also considered your children. Could… Could you feed them for a while?”
“Ah!”
‘Dorothy Assex. Alright, this is no longer Dorothy Assex, but Xienna Stoermer.’
She let out a scream and stretched her blood-stained, long legs forward. After turning around and taking two glances, she said in great annoyance, “No! Look at me, do I look like someone with milk?”
“How did she become like this?” Beatrice whispered.
Alex looked at the few children. “Oh, they’ve sucked it all out from her already!”
At this moment, Xienna casually made a grab, causing the spiritual energy above Kala Temple to constantly surge. She grabbed out four balls of spiritual liquid and threw them at Alex. “Use this to substitute milk!”
Awesome!
She had actually condensed the spiritual liquid with her bare hands. That really was a method only that deities could use.
Once the four children were fed, Xienna stood up and stopped crying by then. She tapped all the four children’s glabella, and finally grabbed Alex. “Come with me!”
***
Xienna brought Alex to the gigantic stone monument outside Kala Temple.
“Do you have something to tell me?” Alex asked.
“Firstly, I want to tell you that I’m not your wife!” Xienna said.
“I know, your name is Xienna Stoermer.”
“It seems that you know a little bit of it. That’s right, in y name is Xienna Stoermer. In fact, I’ve painstakingly reincarnated just to wait for someone!”
“Your lover?” Alex asked.
“A heartless jerk,” Xienna said quietly.
“Uh…”
“But, I woke up too late. Before I awakened, I already had four children. What do you want me to do? I really… I really want to kill you right now!”
Alex suddenly became nervous.
This person’s strength was too terrifying. He was no match for her at all.
She sighed. “What’s done is done, there’s no other way either. I’m going to leave. Just treat me as if you don’t know me, and I don’t know you either. But, there is a small problem.”
“What problem?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2044
When Xienna looked at Alex, her gaze sharpened suddenly.
Danger!
Alex instantly noticed the change in the woman’s aura in front of him and was about to move away instinctively. However, just as he took a step, Xienna caught him with her hand at once.
Chains of invisible shackles bound his body.
Alex shouted, “What the hell are you trying to do?!”
Xienna said, “Don’t be so anxious. You’re no different than an ant to me. A guy who has refined a useless golden core would just become a waste at most in a few hundred years. In my long life, your existence is shorter than a meteor. But, you and my reincarnation’s body have given birth to four children, which gives rise to karma between us. I just want to completely cut off the karmic connection between us.”
With that, she condensed her fingers into a blade, with the power of laws entwined on the fingers.
Alex was shocked. “Wait a minute!”
However, Xienna was unmoved. Perhaps in the eyes of a big shot like her, Alex was really an existence no different than an ant.
Why would she care about what an ant was saying?
The divine blade that was entwined with the power of laws slammed into Alex’s cardiac acupoint.
“Ahhhh!” Alex screamed in pain as his body trembled all over.
The pain was excruciating. It was a hundred times worse than tearing his soul apart. His body trembled continuously in pain, but when he met Xienna’s gaze, she was calm as she said indifferently, “Endure it for a bit more, it will be over soon. I will compensate you a little for this.”
It was Dorothy’s face, but the temperament was cold and frosty, and she seemed to see human life as worthless, a mere trifle.
The Ancient Forbidden Spell of the Twelve Runes within Alex’s golden core continuously churned out a new flow of energy, hiding the abnormal movement within him tightly.
Finally, at a certain moment… Alex could feel as though something within his cardiac acupoint had shattered and broken.
A huge wave of grief surged spontaneously.
Tears gushed from his eyes uncontrollably. “Huh? Why do I feel sad?”
Xienna was taken aback for a moment. At this moment, she burst into tears too.
However, she nodded quickly. “It must be because of that previous wife of yours. When I severed the connection, it also cut off the karma between her and you! If that’s the case, that’s good. It will be best if everything is cut off completely!”
Alex, who couldn’t control his body, fell from a high altitude and hit the ground hard.
Xienna also landed on the ground casually and shot out a beam of golden light into Alex’s body. She said coldly, “Alright, the karma between us has been completely severed. From now on, we’re no longer involved! Raise your four children well. On the day you die of old age, I may come and pick them up.”
Alex lay on the ground. His eyes were burning with anger as he watched her on her high horse. “You’ve severed the karma between Dorothy and I, but have you ever asked me?! Who the hell do you think you are?! What right do you have to take control of Dorothy?! Give her back to me!”
Xienna shook her head lightly. “That is also an accompaniment of my soul. The four children that you have with her is already a fortune that shouldn’t have happened. You’re not worthy of her.”
Alex gritted his teeth. “You will regret it! Just wait, I will take her away from you one day!”
Xienna shook her head and said, “You still don’t understand. Once the karma has been severed, the fate that intertwines the two of you will also drift away. It won’t be long before you completely forget about her and me. You will only be able to recall a trivial relationship with her. So, don’t be foolish. We’re not people of the same world.”
Having said that, she turned around and walked outside one step at a time.
The teleportation portal, which only Alex could control before this, slowly opened up again with the wave of her hand.
Alex, who was lying on the ground and still unable to move, roared, “I will definitely come for you! Just wait! You better protect her properly for me!”
“Well then, I will wait for that day!” Her tone seemed more like a perfunctory one.
Then, Xienna passed through the teleportation portal and disappeared.
***
An unknown amount of time passed.
Beatrice was a little worried, so he searched around Kala Temple and found Alex lying straight on the ground. For a moment, she panicked as she thought that Alex was dead!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2045
“Brother-in-law, Brother-in-law! Don’t scare me! You can’t die!”
She threw herself on Alex and shook him vigorously.
Alex said, “I ’m not dead yet. If you continue to shake me so hard, you will really shake me to death.”
“Oh, Brother-in-law, what’s wrong with you?”
“I’m fine, I just need to rest for a bit.”
“My sister… Where has that woman gone?”
“She’s gone!”
“Gone? Gone where?”
“She said that she will never come back.”
Beatrice seemed sorrowful as she said, “My sister really hit the nail on the head. What should we do? The four children are born without a mother. It’s so pitiful.”
Alex said, “I will get her back, but… I need to become stronger!”
So what if the karma between them had been severed? Even if he couldn’t remember her at all, he would chase after her to bring her back.
Knowing that Dorothy wasn’t really dead and that there was still a glimmer of hope, Beatrice’s mood improved greatly. She gently hugged Alex. “Brother-in-law, I will be the mother of your four children. I will… Take care of you on behalf of my sister.”
How could Alex be in the mood to talk about feelings with his sister-in-law right now?
He hurried back into Kala Temple.
When Dorothy was giving birth, she was worried that the personality of the deity would cause irreparable harm to the others around after coming out. Hence, she had locked herself inside the pagoda and even locked Brittany, Claire and everyone else in another area of Kala Temple with the isolation of spell formation.
Only the informed Beatrice was left outside.
At this time, Alex reopened the spell fomiation and released the people inside.
Upon seeing Alex, Claire rushed over. “Alex, hurry! Dorothy said that she’s about to give birth soon! I’m really anxious! It’s only been a few months! What’s she going to give birth to? It’s too early to even be a premature birth! Has she gone mad?!”
Just as she finished speaking, she saw Beatrice appearing in front of her with two children in her arms.
“Mom, she’s already given birth!”
“Huh?!”
When they found out that Dorothy, who was the reincarnation of a powerful being, had restored the memories of her previous life after the childbirth and then left her husband and children behind, everyone was stunned!
Claire held one of her grandchildren and cried loudly. The crying was probably contagious. When she started to cry, the quadruplets also started to cry. Even Alex’s eldest daughter, the future Goddess of Nature that Daya had given birth to, also started to bawl.
***
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.
Since there was no sun nor moon in Kala Temple, everyone passed the days in a sloppy manner. Coupled with the lack of outside interaction, although their life was calm, it was also very boring.
Hence, on this day, Alex returned to California, and released everyone from Kala Temple.
Stepping back onto the soil of California, Brittany smiled and said, “The taste of home is still the best. Although the spiritual energy there is abundant, it just lacks people. If I had stayed there any longer, I would have been tempted to become a monk.”
Waltz smiled and said, “Mom, you’re a woman. You can’t become a monk even if you wanted to.”
Alex said, “I think we will need to buy a house first.”
The group of them returned to where Rockefeller Manor was located once again. It had already become ruins.
At this moment, a man hurried up to them and asked directly, “Excuse me, may I know which one of you is Young Master Alex Rockefeller?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2046
Alex froze for a moment, but he soon realized that he didn’t know the person in front of him.
“I am. Why are you looking for me?”
The man rushed over and kneeled in front of him, crying bitterly, “Master Alex, please save my lady!”
Alex blinked. “Who is this lady of yours?”
“My lady’s name is Holly Yates,” the man replied.
“What?! What happened to Holly?”
“What happened?” Brittany and everyone else spoke up one after another.
Holly had accepted Brittany as her godmother, and the little girl was obedient and sensible and was loved by everyone. So when they heard the middle-aged man’s words, they exclaimed in surprise and looked at him anxiously.
“S-She was attacked by someone within the same department,” the man said. “And now… She’s at death’s door.”
Alex hurriedly said, “Where is she now?”
“In a private house nearby.”
***
Soon, Alex went to see Holly.
Previously when he had rushed over to the Flying Eagles Academy, his primary purpose was to find her. However, Flying Eagles had been completely taken control of at that time, and he didn’t see a single student while he was there. He heard from Aesop that it had already been empty when the demon tribes took over the academy.
So, Holly shouldn’t have encountered any problems then.
But now, looking at her… Tears almost fell from his eyes.
She was lying quietly on a broken bed, her face was deathly pale, and her hair was greyed. The blood essence on her face had deteriorated, and her cultivation was… Irrevocably lost. Blood still stained her body, and she was severely injured.
“Who did this?!”
“Holly, Holly…”
Maya held Holly’s hand in her hand. The two of them had a good relationship, and they were the first to get along when they started the business in Michigan.
Later, Holly discovered that Maya’s body scent had a magical effect and would often sleep in the same room as Maya.
The man replied, “It was Sydney Yeager.”
Alex checked Holly closely, and once he was done, his body trembled at the rage he felt, and bloodlust leaked from his body like spiritual essence. “Holly’s spiritual roots have been dug out.”
“What?!”
Everyone present basically was involved in cultivation and naturally knew what spiritual roots were.
It was the basis of cultivation. If there were no spiritual roots, it was the same as building a house without foundation. It meant it was useless.
Moreover, it would also cause the body infinite harm. So it was likely that her entire life was ruined.
Brittany angrily said, “Who is this Sydney Yeager? How could she be so vicious?”
The middle-aged man replied, “She’s the granddaughter of the Supreme Elder of the Mountain Warriors. She’s also ranked first in Flying Eagles combat strength leaderboard. I don’t know how Sydney managed to find my lady during the catastrophe that hit the Flying Eagles Academy and saw that my lady had extraordinary spiritual roots, and then she forcefully took it. Once she dug it out, she used it on her own body! Not long after, there was a drastic change in the Mountain Warriors. The Supreme Elder colluded with outsiders to launch a sneak attack on the sect master and as a result…”
“Your sect master, isn’t he Holly’s grandfather?” Waltz asked.
“It’s my lady’s father,” the man replied.
“Uh…”
Everyone was startled.
No one expected Holly to come from such a significant background, and she turned out to be the daughter of the sect master.
Moreover, the Mountain Warrior Sect was also an excellent cultivation sect within the American territory. The Mountain Warrior Sect, Yukon Sect, East Flower Sect, Hidden Sword Sect were known as the Four Great Cultivation Sanctuaries and had existed since ancient times. They had a long history, and countless great figures had come from them and had left their legacies in the long lines of history.
It could be said that these sects were beyond the world. Even the emperor of America was not significant in these sects’ eyes and even regarded as an ant-like existence.
The emperor of America, to put bluntly, was still a mortal. The person in the position needed to be changed once every few years, but the masters of the sects in the sanctuary had a lifespan of hundreds of thousands of years. A powerful master could be around easily for thousands of years, and they weren’t the same kind of existence at all. Also, outsiders would never know just how many secrets were hidden behind the doors of these sects.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2047
Therefore, when they heard that Holly Yates was the daughter of the sect master of the Mountain Warrior Sect, one could only imagine the shock everyone felt.
Daya said, “I recall something about the Mountain Warriors…”
Alex looked at her and knew that what she had recalled was definitely not from her current life but from the memory of her previous life, or even before that. When he looked at Daya, he couldn’t help but think of Dorothy, who had also been reincarnated. Daya was still normal, just that she was able to recall memories from her past lives. However, Dorothy had been dominated by her past life, and her personality had changed drastically…
“So, how is Holly’s father now?” Waltz asked.
Sadly, the man said, “The sect master’s wife has fallen, and the sect master… Is missing!”
Everyone’s heart tightened again.
At this moment, Alex didn’t delay any longer and transferred his Chi into Holly’s body.
His Chi contained Chaos Chi energy, the power of the Ancient Forbidden Spell of the Twelve Runes, and Buddhism’s wish power, all of which were extremely effective in restorative powers. After a while, color returned to Holly’s face, making her less haggard.
She opened her eyes. “Brother…”
“My lady!”
“Holly!”
Holly wanted to sit up, but Alex pushed her down. “Don’t move!”
The little girl saw so many people caring about her, and the stubborn, headstrong girl who had not cried even when her spiritual roots had been dug out couldn’t help but shed tears of grievances at this moment.
Brittany pulled Alex aside and asked, “Son, how is Holly? Will she be able to recover?”
“It’s a bit troublesome, ” Alex said. “The problem of her spiritual roots being forcefully dug out has already caused a lot of damage, and the person who did it was ruthless and fierce. So her spiritual veins in her body have been hurt, and it makes things tricky.”
“You say it’s tricky, but not impossible, right?”
“Firstly, I need to find something that can repair the spiritual veins in her body. Secondly, I need to retrieve the stolen spiritual roots and replant them in her.”
The matter was easier said than done. It was complicated to do.
The person who had taken it was the granddaughter of the Supreme Elder of the Mountain Warriors. Now that the Supreme Elder had succeeded in taking over, he was now the sect master. It was unknown just how many peerless masters there were in the ancient sanctuary, and without exceptional means, they could be killed as soon as they step foot in the place.
Also, the thing he needed to restore her spiritual veins was scarce.
“The first thing to do now is to find the thing to repair her spiritual veins,” Alex said. “But the ones I know of are some of the rare wonders in the world. Unfortunately, I can’t refine the Divine Fairy Pill, so we have to think of another way! As for the spiritual roots that have been taken, it’s no hurry.”
He seemed baleful when he said that.
Something like spiritual roots couldn’t be moved and transplanted too frequently. To have dug out the spiritual roots once, one would have to wait at least three years before it could be transferred again.
Otherwise, it would hurt the source where it came from, and it would not survive after being transferred.
Sydney Yeager!
She would be allowed to take care of it for now and wait for the time when Holly’s spiritual veins were repaired before Alex would go and claim it back with interest.
Daya walked over and said, “Hubby, I know something that can be used to help repair Holly’s spiritual veins.”
Alex was elated. “What is it?”
“The Natural Divine Fountain,” Daya replied.
A bitterness crossed Alex’s face. “It’s not like some vegetable that you can pick up by the roadside, but something countless cultivators dream of. Where would I be able to find it?”
Daya pointed at herself and said, “Ask me!”
“You know where it is?”
“Yeah, I’ve seen it before! ”
“That’s great!”
“But, the place is quite some distance away, within the ancient boundary. You have to accompany me back to my old home to leave the baby in my mother’s care.”
“Of course, that’s not a problem.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2048
Holly’s situation was not optimistic right now. Her spiritual veins were currently damaged, and her body was like a leaking funnel. Her vitality was constantly flowing out, and even if Alex were to transfer a large amount of Chi into her body, it would disappear without a trace after a while because there was nowhere to store it in her body.
“Let’s go to Maple Villa!” Alex made the decision decisively.
Previously, after they had gotten Rockefeller Manor that rightfully belonged to his father back from the Rockefeller family, they had moved out from Maple Villa No. 8 back to the manor. However, now that the manor was long in ruins and after so many days, the valuable things within the manor were more or less lost for good.
So, they could only return to Maple Villa No. 8 for the time being.
“Holly’s body can’t store Chi or spiritual power right now, but her damaged spiritual veins will need to be basked in spiritual power at all times. I have to go borrow something for her first,” Alex said.
“What is it?” Waltz asked.
“A bed!”
The bed he was talking about was the one that belonged to the Fairy Doctor.
There was an ancient Spirit Gathering Array left by the ancient people on it that could condense spiritual essence into rain, which was the most ideal item right now.
***
Beep beep…
Alex gave the Fairy Doctor a call, but he couldn’t get through. Finally, he could only give Jade Benmore a call.
Jade answered the call and grumbled, “You little brat, you have finally made an appearance. I thought you didn’t want this master of yours anymore!”
The crisp, youthful voice that came through made it hard to associate it with an old lady who was almost sixty years old. If she were in the entertainment circle, she would be a breathtaking, older, alluring woman.
“Master, if I ever don’t want anyone, it wouldn’t be you! You’re my one and only beautiful master!” Alex flattered her a little before asking, “Master, I need to ask you something. Do you know where the Fairy Doctor is?”
“Tsk, the first thing you say to me is to ask where the Fairy Doctor is? And you claim that you haven’t forgotten about me, but I think that she’s the one who fills your mind.”
“No, that’s not true. I just miss her bed.”
“Sh”‘t! And you dare to say that!”
“No, no, that’s not what I meant! I mean I need her bed to save someone, and it’s urgent. Do you know where she is? I haven’t seen her since I came back from Japan.”
“Sh*tty Xerxes and Gilbert are planning to rebuild the Flying Eagles Academy. The former instructors of the academy should be helping the rebuilt effort, and the Fairy Doctor will definitely also be there. If you go over, you’d be able to find her, I’m sure.”
Alex was stunned for a moment. “They’re rebuilding the Flying Eagles Academy? Haven’t they learned their lesson from the time the officials led them around by their noses? If it were me, there’s no need to build an academy like this, just make a sect!”
“I think the same way too,” Jade said. “But, Gilbert and Xerxes are academicians, and they feel that everyone should have the chance to participate in the future of humankind. Although the demon tribes have no movements now, it’s difficult to guarantee what they will do in the future. They just want to guard against it.”
After a sigh, she continued, “But, I have been fighting for thirty years, and I finally realized that we’ve been fighting just a few villages of those demon tribes. We’ve lost many of our people from Flying Eagles, and my mindset is no longer the same as before.”
“The cultivation world is a place where the weak fall prey to the strong and where one can go against the laws of nature!”
“Everyone’s talent and luck are different. Those who are strong cultivators will continue to get stronger, while the weak will be eliminated. To force people to walk on such a path would not only consume a huge amount of resources; there also wouldn’t be much results from it Those who want to walk such a path must be the cream of the crop. For example, a person like you, who can be compared to an army of a hundred thousand soldiers.”
“I don’t think I’m that strong,” Alex said.
“Don’t belittle yourself. The achievements you will have in the future will be more than this.”
“Then, Master, why don’t we just create our own sect?”
“Hmm… Alright!”
Alex suddenly felt like there was something wrong with the tone of her voice and asked, “Master, are you alright? Are you drunk?”
Jade replied, “No, go and look for the Fairy Doctor!”
“Master, have you and Principal Lawlor reconciled?”
“F*ck off!”
Beep beep beep…
The call ended.
Alex furrowed his brows. Based on her reaction, it seemed like they didn’t, then.
He let out another sigh. It was obvious that the two liked each other, so why couldn’t they just reconcile?
“Create our own sect? That doesn’t sound like such a bad idea!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2049
“If we want to do it, we have to make sure that we create an existence that far surpasses the Four Great Cultivation Sanctuaries.”
Once he was done with the call, Alex spoke to his family, then headed toward the Flying Eagles Academy alone.
“Hey, Brother-in-law!” Beatrice called out from behind Alex.
“What is it?”
“The children have yet to be registered, and they don’t even have their birth certificates yet. So you have to hurry up and think of their names!”
“Uh…”
This matter was a headache when it was brought up. Forget about his quadruplets, even his eldest daughter had yet to have a name. “When I come back, we’ll discuss it together. You guys can also think about it first, and when the time comes… We can draw lots!”
Beatrice was speechless. “How can you be like that? A child’s name determines their character. You can’t be so sloppy.”
Alex waved his hand. “I know you’re becoming more of a housewife.”
He stepped out and was already a few miles away with just a single step.
Alex deliberately walked around the downtown area of California City. He discovered that the last demon invasion did not bring much change to the city. People still went to work from nine to five, and the streets were filled with traffic and pedestrians.
Time was the best medicine for wounds. It had only been a week, yet the vision of war seemed to have happened a long time ago. However, there were still chatters about the war in the people’s daily conversation from time to time.
Only, it was something that had happened far beyond their reach to many.
Swoosh!
Alex stepped out and appeared next to a school’s basketball court.
Many young girls were watching the game that was going on in it. Some had noticed him, but they ignored him.
Up until the moment when he took another step, and the pattern on the roads flashed, and he disappeared from the face of the earth.
“Huh? Wasn’t there someone who appeared there just now? They have disappeared in a flash,” a girl wearing glasses said.
“Is there something wrong with your eyes? There wasn’t anyone there!”
“I really saw someone. It was a very tall, young man.”
“Tsk. Are you trying to say that you saw that Demon Lord, Alex Rockefeller?”
The girl who wore glasses was stunned for a moment, trying to recall the appearance of the person she had seen. Her eyes widened abruptly. “Yes, that’s right. It was the Demon Lord, Alex Rockefeller. I saw it very clearly. He looked exactly like the photos on the internet”
“No way?! Alex Rockefeller, the Demon Lord, actually appeared in front of us?”
With this exclamation, everyone on the scene gathered around and started to ask questions. Even the boys playing basketball had stopped and joined the others in that topic.
When the Demon Lord, Alex, was brought up, they seemed fascinated.
Alex was unaware that his existence was exceptionally well known now. His standing was much taller than any big celebrity. If he were to be ranked according to endorsement value, he would definitely rank first in the world.

Very soon, he arrived at the Flying Eagles Academy. There really was construction work going on in this place.
Following the connection between him and the Fairy Doctor, Alex quickly found where she was. However, she was in a confrontation with a middle-aged man at this moment.
The Fairy Doctor growled, “Give me back my Warm Jade Bed! Otherwise, don’t blame me for not holding back!”
The middle-aged man laughed and said, “The Warm Jade Bed is already in my hands, and it’s no longer yours. I found it, after all! Besides, I’m the nephew of the new sect master of the Mountain Warriors. Fighting with me? Aren’t you afraid of being killed without a trace?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2050
“Is the Mountain Warrior Sect so amazing?”
At this moment, a cold voice spoke from the side.
The middle-aged man was startled and looked toward the source of the voice. He saw a young man leisurely walking toward him. He didn’t seem to be walking fast, but in the blink of an eye, the young man was already in front of him.
The person who had arrived was Alex.
The incident with Holly had only served to make matters worse on top of his already foul mood. Regarding the new sect master of the Mountain Warriors, Alex had already placed him on his ‘to kill list’ in his heart. That Sydney Yeager or whatever, the one who had dared to dig out Holly’s spiritual roots, she must have the backing of the new sect master… It might even have been the new sect master that had dug out Holly’s spiritual roots for her.
Alex didn’t expect to meet his nephew here.
“Alex!” The Fairy Doctor was surprised but joyful to see Alex. “Why are you here?”
The middle-aged man gave another glance at Alex and snickered. “And here I thought who you were. So, you’re Alex Rockefeller. There are many rumors in the outside world right now. You’ve even been given the title Demon Lord! Following the bad examples of the demons, a person who mingles with them can only be regarded as a traitor to humankind. How dare you be disrespectful toward me, who is from the Mountain Warriors? I’ll give you a chance to kneel and apologize. Make sure your head hits the ground a hundred times in your apology, and then destroy your energy core after that Otherwise, you will die a miserable death, and your entire family will also die because of you.”
Alex’s eyes grew cold.
The thing he hated the most was when someone used his family to threaten him. This nephew of the Mountain Warriors’ sect master really wasn’t good.
Alex looked around and found no one was paying them any attention, but just a few hundred meters away, people were moving around. The moment he made his move, it would definitely attract attention.
He turned to the Fairy Doctor and said, “The Warm Jade Bed has been taken away by this idiot?”
The Fairy Doctor nodded.
She already knew that the Warm Jade Bed was not a trivial item, and it was a rare treasure. So how could she let it go so easily, and even if the other party was from the Mountain Warrior Sect? So what?
“What did you call me?!” the middle-aged man froze for a while, then burst out furiously.
He was a highly ranked disciple from the Mountain Warriors and considered one of the higher-ups. He had the admiration and respect of countless people, and here he was, getting called an idiot by this sh*tty person. D*mn it!
“I said,” Alex started. “You’re an idiot. What about it?”
The middle-aged man looked at Alex with a frosty glare filled with murderous intent. “Alex, right? I can tell you right now, even if you were to take your own life, it wouldn’t be enough. You’re dead, all of your family will also die, and they will die miserably. I’m not saying this just to scare you.”
The Fairy Doctor retorted, “You’ re a disciple of the Mountain Warrior Sect, and you came to the Flying Eagles Academy to cause a ruckus? I really don’t understand. Even the Mountain Warriors’ sect master treats me politely when he sees me. Is it because you feel too good about yourself? This is the first time you’ve been to the academy, and you don’t know the diverse aspects of society, do you?”
The middle-aged man laughed and said, “You say that the sect master treats you politely when he sees you? Who even are you?”
“The Fairy Doctor!”
“I’ve never heard of you!”
Alex didn’t want to waste any more time, so he moved forward suddenly, his hand coming up to slap the middle-aged man.
Slap!
The middle-aged man probably didn’t expect Alex to make any sudden moves and an extremely humiliating one at that. At this time, his lungs were about to explode from the rage that coursed through his veins. However, when Alex slapped him, the middle-aged man’s anger felt as though it had reached the peak of the heavens.
“You bas*ard. You dared to hit my face?!”
When the middle-aged man finally reacted, he was seething with rage. Then, without thinking about it, he lashed out. The two of them were fast.
After a while, they were already far from the Flying Eagles Academy and had reached a high mountain. When he reached it, Alex stopped.
“Go on, run!”
“If you can run, why don’t you run more?”
When the middle-aged man caught up to him, his words were extremely arrogant as he roared thunderously.
Alex laughed. “Why would I run? I intended to lure you here. Now, it’s my turn to talk. First, bring out the Warm Jade Bed and apologize. Otherwise, believe you will end up with a fate worse than death.”
The middle-aged man laughed loudly. “Alex, do you think just because people call you Demon Lord, you’re really powerful? They’re really just cursing you! Instead of being a good human, you run off to become a demon! Let me tell you something, do you think that the Flying Eagles Academy is really great and can surpass the Four Great Cultivation Sanctuaries? What a joke! That’s just to give the emperor of America some assurance. Our Mountain Warriors rank first among the Four Great Sanctuaries since ancient times. A small fry like the Flying Eagles Academy is not worthy to even be on our radar, and sending someone over to see them is just an act!”
“An act?” Alex froze for a moment. “What do you mean by that?”
“Humph, what’s the point of asking so much? A dead person does not need to know much. Don’t worry. Your family will be reunited with you soon!”
“Die!”
When he said that, a sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
The Mountain Warrior Sect was based on swordsmanship, and everyone in the sect practiced swordsmanship. With a single swipe of his blade, the clouds in the skies scattered in all directions.
Whoosh!
