Ch. 2141..2150
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2141
Alex looked at the vacuous, dark scene and sighed helplessly. However, he immediately felt a little nervous.
At this moment, he did not know where he was as Xienna’s sudden appearance earlier had disrupted his thoughts. But now, Xienna and Hermione were gone, leaving only both him and his daughter. It was a little terrifying as it was pitch-black inside some unknown demonic beast’s mouth.
The surrounding area was particularly eerie.
However, Xienna had given him a stream of divine power before she left. The divine power contained ancient divine energy wandering around his body and could drive away the endless Yin energy that invaded his body.
‘At least you still have some conscience!’
‘After all, all my four children were born out of your womb.’
Previously, the Plenilune Sect’s sect master had beaten him until he vomited blood, and Hermione had stabbed him a few times as well. The inflicted injuries were a bit troublesome, and even the Ultimate Book of Medicine could not heal them at once. However, Xienna Stoermer’s divine power dispelled the bizarre energy on the wounds so that now Alex could rapidly heal the scars.
No matter what, he had to recover from the injuries first.
He floated on the dark lake, motionless… To be precise, he was floating inside a monster’s stomach. Moreover, the stomach was humongous. At a glance, it turned out to be a boundless, vast expanse of black water and the foul smell made him truly upset
‘This is a bit uncalled for!’
‘Look at that month. It’s a hundred meters wide. No matter how large this demonic beast is, its stomach can’t possibly be as big as the sea, right? Is this even a demonic beast?’
While healing his injuries, Alex indulged in flights of fancy. At this moment, his ears twitched as he faintly heard some kind of sound.
He started to think he was hallucinating. However, the sound became increasingly clearer.
After a few breaths, he heard it clearly. It turned out to be someone singing. It was a woman singing!
Alex abruptly opened his eyes as he was dumbfounded. ‘Why is there someone singing inside a demonic beast’s stomach?’
‘C-could it be that this enormous demonic beast is singing?’
But soon, he saw a beacon inside in this boundless, black sea of the stomach. Immediately afterward, he saw a small boat. The beacon was just a lantern hanging on the boat.
Meanwhile, a lady in green was standing on the small boat. She had a classically stunning appearance and a curvy, enchanting figure. She gently rocked the wooden oars, but the boat sailed fast and soon approached Alex. The boat stopped slowly.
The lady in green looked at Alex strangely from head to toe while circling Alex.
Only then did Alex notice that the lady’s outfit was very revealing.
She was wearing a tight-fitting green outfit with two exposed long legs and bare feet. The material for her top was not much, but she did not look fat at all. To his surprise, the chest area below her neck was a sight for the sore eye. The fair exposed part was seductive, with a youthful aura assaulting his senses.
After the lady gently rocked the boat, the boat appeared before Alex in a distance less than ten centimeters.
The lady leaned over, and her face was almost touching Alex’s nose. After sniffing him, she asked in a pleasant and slightly delicate voice, “Mister, where did you come from, and where are you going?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2142
Was this a person?
Could it be that she was living in such a strange place?
But, more importantly, could people live in this place?
At this moment, Alex looked at the lady in green closely, and he could even see his shadow in the lady’s pupils. Her pupils… Seemed to be a little different from ordinary people, there was a faint golden color in the depth of her eyes.
“A deaf? A mute?”
The lady slightly frowned as she did not get a reply from Alex.
Then, she looked at Bubbles. She probably thought Bubbles was particularly cute, and there was a scent on Bubbles’ body that made her feel comfortable. So, she gently lifted her slender hand and touched Bubbles’ cheek.
“What are you trying to do?” Then, while carrying his daughter, Alex hurriedly dodged a little to avoid the lady’s hand.
“So you’re not a mute!” The lady retracted her hand, raised her chest, and took a step back before re-examining Alex.
“Who are you? What is this place?” Alex asked. He felt slightly scared being looked at by the lady so directly.
“Oh, this place is Nirvana in the midst of chaos.” The lady in green, standing on the small boat, made a turn and said with a smile, “Welcome to Nirvana. You should be… The first outsider who has gotten in here in the past three hundred years.”
“Three hundred years?” Alex was taken aback for a moment. “You’ve lived here for three hundred years?”
“That’s right. I’ve been living here since I was born. I’m exactly three hundred years old this year, so that makes it three hundred years! But I haven’t seen any outsiders before… But, of course, I don’t know if any outsiders came here three hundred years ago.”
After a pause, she asked, “Mister, do you want to get on board?”
Alex had a conflicted expression for a moment. But then, he still swam up to it. At least, standing on the boat was much more comfortable than floating on this bizarre water surface. The two people met each other’s eyes for a while.
Alex had too many questions, but he did not know how to say them. So finally, he asked, “Do you know how to get out of here?”
The lady shook her head. “I heard from my ancestors that no one can ever leave Nirvana now. The only passage is broken.”
“It’s broken? No, you mentioned your ancestors… What do you mean by that? Could it be that there is someone else besides you?”
“Of course, how can I be alone? We have many people, and there are dozens of them in the big castle alone! Moreover, there’s also a sanctuary!”
“Uh…”
Alex looked at the demonic beast’s dark stomach and wondered if he had met a female ghost. Otherwise, why would her words be so unfathomable?
‘Castle and sanctuary? Are you sure we’re on the same channel?’
“Miss, I remember clearly that a monster swallowed me. This monster’s mouth is huge. Besides, this place has a foul smell. I’m not mistaken.”
The lady nodded. “What you said is right, but you’re wrong about one thing. This is not a monster, but an ancient mythical creature, the great Genbu.”
“The mythical creature, Genbu? Are you saying that we’re inside the stomach of the mythical creature Genbu?”
“Yes, that’s what my grandma told me. But, the mythical creature Genbu is sick Grandma said that once the mythical creature Genbu dies, our Nirvana will collapse and be destroyed. When the time comes, our tribe might not exist anymore.” The lady said sadly as she made some water splashes with the oars.
Then, she said, “Since you’ve gotten in, you won’t be able to get out now for sure. I’ll take you back to our place. My people will welcome you very much! Oh right, my name is Shado Rivers. What’s your name?”
“Alex Rockefeller. This is my daughter. You can call her Bubbles.”
Since Alex could not get out nor stay in this position all the time, he could only follow Shado Rivers back.
“She’s so cute. Can I hold her?”
After hesitating for a few seconds, Alex confirmed that he could subdue the lady within the shortest time. Only then did he allow her to hold his daughter. However, he did not let go of his daughter completely.
“I don’t know why. I feel particularly comfortable when I hold her,” Shado said.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2143
Alex took a closer look at her body using the Third Eye. As a result, he discovered that the Yin energy on her body was particularly dense as if there were layers of gray energy wrapping around her. Even this energy was so thick that it had affected her internal organs. She felt comfortable while hugging Bubbles because the natural divinity inside Bubbles’ body proactively dispelled the Yin energy. Hence, it made her feel particularly relaxed. After checking her with the Third Eye for a while, he finally detected something.
There was a connection between her body’s aura and the surrounding environment. He seemed to have understood it a little.
“Actually, I’m a doctor. I can sense there’s a bit of a problem in your body. Do you want me to check your pulse?” Alex asked.
Shado readily stretched out her snow white wrist.
When Alex reached out and touched her, be instantly frowned.
The feeling of her skin was satiny, but it was too cold upon touch, and there was a rush of evil Chi drilling into his meridians along his fingers. It was no wonder that it could trigger his daughter’s divinity.
Just then, the divine power inside his body abruptly became active, as if the rush of evil Chi had stimulated it.
Buzz!
An acupoint’s golden core lit up, and the divine power inside the golden lake vibrated. Immediately afterward, second golden core, third golden core…
Seven golden cores all lit up. All the seven golden cores were interconnected with each other by divine power.
Then, they formed something like the spell formation. A rush of suction force that was suddenly formed sucked at Shado’s body hard.
The two people’s bodies seemed to have some kind of resonance in that instant, and a seamless link connected their meridians. They were intertwined with each other.
“Huh?” Shado’s eyes widened in shock.
She felt that the evil Chi on her body and the cursed power was flowing into Alex’s body rapidly, while her body was getting warmer and more comfortable… This was a completely new sensation.
“You… Have you sucked the negative energy out of my body?”
“You… You won’t die, right?”
Alex raised his head and glanced at her. He had no time to talk now, but he felt overjoyed. It was because he found out that the evil Chi in Shado’s body, after flowing into his body, was immediately sucked away by the divine power, assimilated, and finally turned into a new divine power.
Moreover, this energy was tremendous.
In just a moment, he had gained hundreds of thousands of points. Furthermore, it was still going on. It took a full five minutes for Alex to absorb the evil Chi in her body completely.
After counting it carefully, he had gained five hundred thousand points of divine power in total.
“Miss Rivers, earlier you said that you have many other tribe members here. Are they all the same as you? Does this evil Chi entangle their bodies?” Alex asked somewhat hurriedly.
With the current situation, not only his divine power would increase at a rapid rate, but he would even have a lot of excess Chi to tackle new acupoints.
Shado nodded. “Yes. My ancestors said this is because the mythical creature Genbu is cursed and suffering from the negative energy invasion. Then, we people who are equivalent to living symbiotically in the body of the mythical creature Genbu will be affected as well. My condition is considered light because I’m young. The elderly have a more severe condition.”
“That’s great!” Alex almost jumped up.
“What did you say?”
“I mean, I can help cure all of you.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2144
Sitting on Shado’s small boat, Alex saw that Shado, the three century old lady, looked abnormally young. She was no different than the regular university students in their twenties out there.
Her water attributed ability allowed her to control the water source with ease. This was also the reason why she could row the boat so effortlessly.
Instead, she did not have to row the boat at all. Using her magical power to drive the water force below, she could move the small boat forward rapidly.
Alex asked many questions the whole time.
Shado said that because their tribe had started taking refuge and hidden in this Nirvana since ancient times three thousand years ago, their people had managed to survive until now. They did not know the outside world well because no one had ever gone outside since the day they got in.
They had traveled on the dark water surface for ten or so minutes.
The dim lantern on the boat could only illuminate the surrounding area for a range of a dozen meters. It was expansive darkness beyond that.
Plop!
Alex suddenly heard the sound of some kind of object falling into the water. The sound was loud as if a giant stone had smashed into a pool of water, immediately followed by a series of rumbling sounds and earth-shattering noise.
Alex could not help feeling slightly anxious. However, he realized that Shado was calm and indifferent as if it were a common occurrence. She cackled as she said, “Don’t worry, it’s just the rumbling sound of the great Genbu. What fell just now is the malignant tumor inside the great Genbu’s body! It’s been cursed, and its body often produces malignant tumors. A tumor will fall after a while, but this tumor is very powerful and soon draws a reaction…”
As soon as she said that, the water turbulently roared. Unexpectedly, it looked like a violent tsunami had occurred.
It was overwhelming.
‘D*mn!’
The shocked Alex immediately constructed a defensive barrier. However, Shado laughed and told him what it meant to be a master of the tide.
As soon as she slapped the oar, a water jet soared up to the sky while supporting the small boat… Of course, this was inside the great Genbu’s body. They naturally could not see the stars nor the sky above their heads, but the small boat still topped off steadily at the height of dozens of meters.
She seemed to have gotten used to such a situation. When everything was over, Shado said, “The way just now is the great Genbu’s way to handle the malignant tumor. It can be said to be a natural reaction of its body. It rarely occurred back then. It would be good to occur once a month. But recently, the situation is getting worse, and it occurs more frequently. It seems like the great Genbu won’t be able to hold up any longer…”
Her expression worsened the more she talked.
It could be said that the people of their tribe were miserable as their lives and deaths were tied to the great Genbu’s body.
Half an hour later, Alex saw an enormous force field. On the other hand, Shado took Alex and his daughter to the edge of the force field like a walk in the park and found a very hidden entrance. Then, she maneuvered the boat into it.
The area in front of him suddenly turned bright. It was still pitch-black with an incomparably foul smell earlier.
But now, Alex realized that he had reached a river with extremely clear water quality and lush waterside vegetation on both sides. He even saw a sedge of white, giant storks by the rivers.
Then, there were distant mountains, villages, and houses.
‘This place is definitely not inside the great Genbu’s body, right?’
Otherwise, how large would the great Genbu be? It would be simply unimaginable!
Skies, lands, stars, grass, mountains and rivers. Everything was there. He could see the sun when he looked up.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2145
However, this sun looked gentler.
Shado pointed at an ancient village and said, “That’s our village ahead.”
Just then, a monster suddenly emerged from the water. It had a human-like upper body, but its lower body was of a snake with fins and the like behind its back. This was a demoness. Just looking at her face and upper body, she was a pretty woman, but… With a thick, huge snake body.
Alex looked at this demoness in surprise.
He was encountering such a species for the first time, so he could not help taking a few more glances at her.
To his surprise, the demoness bared her fangs and asked, “What are you looking at? Haven’t you ever seen any beauty? Shado, who is this guy? He’s not from our village. Is he your husband that you found outside the village? Oh my, you even have a kid. Shado, you’ve done a great job concealing this secret. Your grandma will be shocked for sure.”
Having said that, she rocked her body and turned into a stunning beauty before jumping onto the boat. As she transformed like this without saying anything in advance, she naturally wasn’t wearing any clothes. She was unabashed and simply stood in front of Alex to examine him from head to toe.
Instead, Alex blushed while looking at her. However, he remembered an ancient race…
“You people are… the Naga tribe?”
Alex’s voice disrupted the sexy, pretty Naga demoness in front of him.
She abruptly seemed dumbfounded. “Could it be that you’re not a Naga?”
Shado said with a smile, “Sis Chelly, he’s not a Naga. He’s a human whom I met outside.”
“What? A human?!” the Naga demoness named Chelly exclaimed and immediately jumped into the water. When she jumped out of the water again, she was already wearing a set of green outfits. However, the fabric was even less than Shado’s. It was a microkini that barely covered her private areas.
Alex took two glances at her before hurriedly averting his gaze… He felt that she looked more enchanting when she wore that outfit than being naked.
Chelly stared at Alex. “Is he really a human? Coming in from the outside?”
Shado nodded.
“How surprising! It turns out that there’s really such a species as humans outside the pure land, exactly as described in the ancient books. So, humans haven’t gone extinct yet?”
Alex asked, “How can humans be extinct?”
Then, he turned to Shado. “So, you can transform into a Naga too?”
Shado nodded as she said, “My body still possesses a few human genes because, according to legend, one of my ancestors was a strong human.”
Soon, many Naga tribe members emerged from the river. All of them were female. Moreover, they were all peerless stunners after transformation… Half of them did not prepare any clothes.
When they heard that Alex and the daughter carried in his arms were foreign humans, they were all stunned.
A Naga said, “I heard my grandpa say that the last time we had a human here was one thousand years ago, but that person couldn’t bear the great Genbu’s cursed power and the evil Chi. Finally, he died after lasting for only two months. I don’t know how long these two people can last.”
Shado said, “He’s mighty and not afraid of the cursed power.”
The previous Naga said, “Impossible. Even we Naga tribe can’t bear this kind of cursed power, let alone a human like him. He won’t last for long.”
Shado said, “It’s real. He’s a doctor and even helped me remove the curse!”
“What? Your cursed power is gone? Impossible!”
“What kind of doctor can dispel the cursed power? He must be boasting!”
At this moment, a middle-aged Naga rushed over. While dashing on the water, he shouted at Shado, “Shado, you’re finally back. Hurry up and go back. Your grandma’s curse has manifested. She might return to the ancestors tonight.”
“Huh?”
When Shado heard that, she immediately rushed toward her house.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2146
“Curse manifestation? What kind of thing is that?” Alex looked at Shado with doubt written all over his face.
But at that moment, Shado drove the water force to propel the small boat fast. She even lifted the boat up directly with a huge water pillar, equivalent to flying on the river surface!
“Grandma, you must hold on and Shado for the last time!” Shado murmured, but tears had already streamed down her face.
The tactful Alex said nothing. Judging by her current mood, her grandmother was probably going to meet her demise. Moreover, it was a situation beyond salvation. Otherwise, it would not be as simple as meeting her for the last time.
Boom!
The small boat rushed into the village’s riverbank and landed with a boom.
It turned out that the seemingly thin, small wooden boat fell from a height of five or six meters and smashed on the ground without any damage. This proved how good the boat’s materials were.
“Grandma!” Shado rushed into a water puddle.
There were rows of wooden buildings on stilts, but many people were gathered in front of the largest, five-story wooden building. Everyone wore sorrowful expressions while they looked into the building, and they were chattering amongst themselves.
Alex realized that most of the people here were female Naga.
Furthermore, all of them basically displayed their original forms. Almost nobody was in complete female human form except Shado.
“Shado, Shado…”
“Go in quickly! Your grandma’s curse has begun. She won’t be able to talk anymore later.”
Seeing Shado rushing over, the crowd immediately created a passage, so Shado could quickly pass through. “Grandma, Grandma…”
Streams of tears fell down Shado’s face. She rushed into the building. Then, she saw her grandmother standing upright. Many people were standing around her, there were the village’s high priestess, the astrologist, and also the village undertaker specializing in handling the tribe’s funerals.
Her grandmother was standing there, still with a smile on her face.
However, her Naga tail could no longer move. It had turned into a stone. The transformation would persist until the entire body turned into stone.
This was the Naga tribe’s eternal curse, and no one could be spared. It seemed every Naga ended their lives this way.
Shado kneeled on the ground and hugged her grandmother’s petrified lower half while crying, “Grandma, I don’t want you to leave. Don’t go!”
Alex, holding his daughter, came in too. Nobody stopped him.
He eventually saw Shado’s grandmother. Unexpectedly, she looked very young and was wearing a green, sparkling bikini… Right, that outfit should only be called a bikini for the time being because very little fabric was used. Looking at her upper body’s appearance, she truly seemed like a young lady.
However, Alex was shocked to the core when he saw the petrified tail and the petrification spreading upward bit by bit. Never did he expect that there would be such a curse.
It was really unheard of.
“Silly child, every member of our Naga tribe will face such a day. Grandma has lived long enough. It’s time for me to meet Lord Ancestor.” Her grandmother smiled with a kind face as she stroked Shado’s hair. However, it was clear that the petrification process was still excruciatingly painful.
Shado’s grandmother was simply trying her best to endure it.
One should think about it, the body of flesh and blood had abruptly turned into stone, and certain parts of it were changing.
How could it not hurt?
The grandmother finally discovered Alex and Bubbles. Her expression froze at once. With a single glance, she recognized Alex…
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2147
‘This is a human!’
She looked at Alex in surprise and her emotions became slightly stirred- Pointing at Alex, she asked, “You… You’re a human?!”
“What?”
“A human? Really?”
“We haven’t had any humans here for a long time!”
The shocked onlookers gathered around him, and all started talking once.
At that moment, Alex suddenly said to Shado, “Shado, do you wish to save your grandma?”
Shado was taken aback. “You… You can save my grandma? Grandma’s curse has begun to manifest, and she will be completely petrified in about ten minutes. This is the eternal curse of our tribe. Nobody can dispel it.”
Alex smiled. “I think I can give it a try.”
He was not boasting.
Rather, he just sensed that the source of the curse manifestation lay in the evil Chi. It was because the condensed evil Chi in the body was so dense that it had reached its absolute concentration. Once it reached the Naga tribe’s body limit, one would be unable to suppress the attack.
When the attack began, it would cause petrification through evil Chi. In this case, what triggered the attack was some sort of ancient rune.
What Alex hoped most eagerly now was to help the Naga tribe drain the evil Chi from their bodies so it could help him increase divine power. Presently, Shado’s grandmother was definitely the best candidate.
“You… You can dispel our Naga tribe’s curse?”
The one who spoke was the village’s high priestess, a female Naga with red wavy hair. She did not look old at all and had a considerably outstanding appearance among humans.
‘This is probably the talent of the Naga race,’ thought Alex.
Facing the high priestess’ urgent inquiry, Alex did not say everything. “I still don’t know yet, but I can give it a try.”
Shado was instantly excited. She grabbed Alex’s arm and said to her grandmother, “Grandma, it’s real. He’s a doctor. He’s the one who helped me cure the curse in my body. Look, my body feels light now and there’s warmth in my hands.”
Soon, her grandmother held Shado’s hand.
The next second, she screamed in astonishment, “There’s really a warmth! What Shado said is true! There’s really warmth! C-can you really help us dispel the curse?”
At the side, the high priestess, the undertakers, and the village elders who came to visit the grandmother all rushed over and touched Shado’s body and palms with their hands one by one.
As a result…
Everyone shouted loudly while jumping around in excitement. The next second, amid Alex’s silence astonishment, the Naga tribe members with lofty status in the village kneeled before him. Under the high priestess’ lead, they all shouted, “All hail Lord Saint!”
The words instantly stunned Alex…
“What Lord Saint? I’m not your Lord Saint!”
Shado, also full of surprise, asked, “High Priestess, what’s going on? How did he become Lord Saint?”
The high priestess immediately said to Shado, “Shado, don’t be rude in front of Lord Saint!”
Shado looked toward her grandmother. It turned out that her grandmother said the same thing as well.
“The great ancient astrologist of the Naga tribe once told of our tribe’s fortune at the expense of his life,” said the high priestess. “He finally left a prophecy, the one that dispels the curse of our Naga tribe would be our tribe’s Lord Saint.”
Alex was speechless.
After taking a look at Shado’s grandmother, Alex said, “Maybe I can still save her now, but after a while, even God won’t be able to save her. So, if you people want me to save her, all of you, please wait outside.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2148
“Hurry up! Everyone, get out! Let him cure my grandma’s curse!”
Shado shouted before jumping up to chase away the people.
Now, her grandmother’s curse had begun to manifest, and her lower body had been petrified. She began to worry that her grandmother would be beyond salvation if she were left in this condition any longer.
The high priestess, the astrologist, and the others at the side immediately retreated after looking at each other. It was an undeniable fact that the curse in Shado’s body was already gone.
The prophecy passed down by the ancestors could not be wrong.
Following suit, the high priestess yelled, “Everyone, leave the building and let Lord Saint cure the village chief’s curse! Hurry, hurry!”
Only then did Alex know that Shado’s grandmother was the chief of the village.
Soon, only Alex, the village chief, and his daughter, Bubbles, were left in the building. The little one who had been following Alex had suffered a lot lately.
It was unclear if it was an illusion, but her gaze and the expression on her little face intensified as if she had begun to have a certain understanding of the world around her, feeling sorry for her father. Her glistening eyes were rich in emotion.
She then turned her head and looked at the village chief with a face of interest.
“Please forgive me, Lord Saint, for being unable to salute you because of my immobility!” Shado’s grandmother said.
Alex waved his hand. Seeing a bed next to him, he gently placed his daughter on it. He turned back and walked around the grandmother. As a result, he realized that the curse in her body was centered around the heart.
An ancient rune was hidden in the heart’s center. It was the rune’s effect that pulled in all the evil Chi from her body.
If he wanted to help her dispel the curse that had already taken effect, he had to remove the cursed rune hidden in her heart.
Seeing Alex’s somewhat awkward expression, the grandmother asked, “Lord Saint, is it a little too difficult to cure? This curse of mine is definitely harder to handle than the umnanifested ones. Never mind, I’ve lived long enough. I’m already satisfied that I can see the Lord Saint’s advent in my remaining life. From now on, our Naga tribe will put our faiths in Lord Saint… Lord Saint, please take care of my granddaughter Shado too.”
Meanwhile, the manifested curse had surpassed the navel.
Knowing that he could no longer delay any further, Alex said, “I need to place my hand on your heart area so that I can drag out the source of your curse source. With your consent, I’ll do it now.”
“The heart area?”
When the grandmother lowered her head and took a look, a faint blush appeared on the face that was more beautiful than most supreme beauty stars on Earth. She said reverently, “Lord Saint, you’re our Naga tribe’s master. Not to mention putting your hand on me, even if you wanted me to do anything, I’m willing to… Besides, I’m already. Ah…”
Before she could finish, Alex immediately placed his hand on her.
‘Oh, this is a… Superb sensation!’
She had also said that abruptly. Clearly, what she said was still different from the feeling in reality. But soon, she felt an unprecedented, immense pain, as if Alex’s hand had bored itself into her chest and dug the flesh on her heart.
She could not move her lower body, yet her upper body couldn’t help but tremble like a leaf. She grimaced in pain.
“The source of the curse is in your heart. It’s an inborn curse type ancient rune. With the curse’s onset now, it has merged with your heart. I’m equivalently digging it out of your heart alive now. Pain will be inevitable. If you feel pain, just shout. it out!” Alex said.
The grandmother shook her head and closed her mouth tightly.
Alex looked at her and asked, “Let’s chat then. The extraction process will be a bit slow. You said you’ve lived for a long time. How old are you?”
“I’m 997 years old this year. I should be considered as the eldest one in the entire Naga tribe.”
‘Oh-ho, she’s really a millennium-old demon!’
“That’s quite old, but you don’t look old at all,” said Alex. “I thought you were just twenty seven years old. Your appearance is well maintained. What kind of cosmetics do you usually use?”
The grandmother was puzzled.
There were no such things as cosmetics in the Naga tribe.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2149
Buzz!
Another burst of blinding pain gutted her.
She bit her lip hard and said, “When compared to our Naga tribe’s normal lifespan, I’m not actually considered that old. The Naga tribe’s average lifespan is five thousand years. Compared to the regular human’s century lifespan, this thousand years of mine is indeed not unlike me being twenty seven years old. But ever since we’ve been cursed, our lifespan has shortened considerably… Very few people even last a thousand years.”
“Oh…”
Alex started to exert his force, and he grabbed something fiercely.
The fabric in his hand tore into tiny pieces. Then, a bloody ancient rune with bizarre energy was slowly pulled out.
“Ahhh! Ohhh!”
The grandmother finally could not help but scream out.
This time, Alex finally understood why she had refused to shout earlier. The shriek almost caused him to lose control and pounce on the grandma in front of him… Was this a painful scream? It was simply seduction!
His heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly restrained his thoughts.
“Shut up and hold it in!” Alex ordered.
The grandmother hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand and even hit her palm with her teeth. However, such expression and action tempted him to give in to his impulse even more.
Alex simply closed his eyes. The next moment, he let out a loud roar.
He had completely pulled out the bloody ancient rune, and a rush of dense evil Chi filled the entire building.
‘What a good thing!’
‘What a great supplement!’
The bloody rune was equivalent to having condensed all the evil Chi in the grandmother’s body inside it. It caused the golden cores in Alex’s body to vibrate and connect the divine power’s golden lake in a force field. A manifested golden light enveloped the rune and began the refinement.
The grandmother realized that all the evil Chi in her body was gone, and the initially petrified lower body started to recover gradually. She was overjoyed at the turn of events.
It proved that she was really saved.
And, the man in front of her was indeed Lord Saint. However, seeing Alex’s state in front of her, she began to feel worried again.
“Lord Saint… What’s wrong with you?”
“This is the cursed rune I pulled out of your body. I need to refine it. Otherwise, it will keep looking for you, trying to get into your body. If you’re fine, go wait outside first and help me guard the entrance.”
Alex was, in fact, babbling nonsense. He simply coveted the rune’s condensed evil Chi. It was much more powerful than the one in Shado’s body. After refinement, his divine power could increase significantly.
“Alright, Lord Saint!”
The grandmother walked out of the building.
The Naga tribe waiting outside immediately erupted in thunderous applause. It turned out that she was really cured!
The next second, Alex felt a great deal of faith power flying into his cardiac acupoint before landingin the golden core’s golden lake in the end.
Boom!
The eighth acupoint broke through!
The eighth golden core condensed!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2150
“Lena, has your curse really been cured?”
“Let me see, let me touch it… Ah, there’s really a warmth. That’s great! Lord Saint has really appeared. Our Naga tribe is saved!”
“Chief, we’d like to meet Lord Saint. Can we?”
More and more people had begun gathering outside the stilted building. Even those who had greeted Shado in the river earlier came over. Chelly, who had detested the human Alex at first, was asking Shado all sorts of questions. As everyone looked at the building, their eyes became passionate, reverent, plus something else.
It seemed that in those eyes was a blazing hope, a shining beacon in the dark of night.
The high priestess said, “Lord Saint has arrived. The prophecy from three thousand years ago has become true. It appears the day we leave the pure land and return to our homeland is not far. Dorothea, you’re the only astrologist in our village. Can you tell us a fortune? Is this the turning point for our entire Naga tribe? Should I inform all the pure land’s leaders to come and meet Lord Saint?”
The astrologist named Dorothea nodded lightly. Soon, Dorothea yelled and spat a mouthful of blood.
Her face turning ghastly, she said, “I’m so sorry! My abilities are really limited. I can’t tell Lord Saint’s fortune at all. Lord Saint’s fate is not something I can pry on. ”
Then, someone wanted to go in and meet Alex. However, Shado’s grandmother, Lena Rivers, stopped him.
“Shh, everyone, be quiet!”
“Now, Lord Saint is refining the source of the curse extracted from my body, and it may require some time. Lord Saint asked me to guard the entrance out here. We mustn’t disturb him. That’ll bring danger to Lord Saint. Everything he does is for the sake of our Naga tribe!”
The group of people instantly quieted down. Even the sounds of breathing were gone. Everyone looked at the building with a softer, gentler, and more reverent gaze.
‘Lord Saint is really great! How can one not love such a great person?’ they all thought.
Just then, Alex’s voice came from the inside of the building. “Does anyone still need to dispel their curses? Come in one by one!”
The crowd was stunned for a moment.
Lord Saint’s refinement was successful!
Then, he wanted to help them to dispel their curses non-stop.
How great! How touching!
“Do you need a little rest, Lord Saint?” asked Lena.
Alex was currently at a critical point. The cursed rune acquired from Lena’s body had increased his divine power by a total of ten million points after refinement and absorption. Furthermore, the eighth golden core had successfully developed. He was now breaking through the ninth acupoint, almost enough to develop the ninth acupoint.
“No need. Come in right now. Hurry up!”
“Find an older person, preferably someone whose curse is about to manifest!” Alex’s voice could be heard saying from the building.
The evil Chi was dense in an old person’s body. As for people with curse manifestation, the cursed rune in the heart area had been activated. As long as he plucked it out, he would be able to draw out all the evil Chi in the Naga tribe’s bodies, then refine it.
This would be the most efficient method.
“It seems that there’s someone with curse manifestation in the adjacent Nine Dragons Village today,” the high priestess said.
“I’ll use the Aqua Mail and ask them to rush over here. They should be able to get here within a day.”
To his surprise, it apparently took an entire day to rush over from the adjacent village.
How large was this village anyway?
Alex could no longer wait, so he immediately said, “It’s fine if it’s someone without manifestation. High priestess, you then. Come in. I’ll help you dispel the curse now.”
“Lord Saint… Let us give this chance to the younger ones…”
“Cut the crap! Come in, hurry up!”
“Yes, Lord Saint.”
The high priestess dared not speak again for fear of angering Alex. So, she immediately walked in and shut the door. She discovered Alex sitting cross-legged on the ground with a strange energy fluctuation on his body.
