The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2531
Shirley was deeply disappointed. “You really are unsuitable for an intimate friendship.”
Alex complained, “You’re the one pestering me incessantly. Do you want me to make up a story for you? Not to mention the situation at that time, that guy from the outside realm wanted to replace your soul by deliberately creating illusions. The blood that you saw may not be real either.”
Alex had said so and thought so. Hence, what he saw might not have been Shirley’s genuine childhood.
Shirley frowned and pondered for a while. However, since she felt Alex’s words were reasonable, she didn’t dwell on them. The two people were still standing in the water.
The strange green tree still exuded energy.
“It should be safe this time, right?”
“I’ll try it first.”
Alex reached out and grabbed a tree branch. Soon, an infinite green light rushed into his body, ten times faster than the previous speed.
At this moment, Shirley noticed that strange colorful light glowed on Alex’s lumbar spine bones, shining upon the wall and showing a bizarre pattern. It was a shadow with a human head and snake body.
“What is this thing?” Shirley was stunned.
To her surprise, a piece of bone on Alex’s body could actually reflect an image.
Could he be some demon’s reincarnation?
Soon, she noticed that the green light on the sapling gradually dimmed, and a great amount of energy was gone.
“Bast*rd! You have all the profits to yourself!”
Shirley was pissed. She had accidentally fallen for his trick, and he had snatched away all the good stuff.
She, too, rushed forward to snatch it. Not only did she grab the tree trunk, but she wrapped the tree trunk with her legs as she would with a man. However only a little green energy entered her body, whereas most still entered Alex’s body.
The tree’s energy didn’t decide this, but rather, Ymir’s Divine Bone on Alex’s body was sucking the energy hard.
This time, Alex understood it
The runes of the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell did not cause trouble for the absence of his bone patterns, but the real reason was Ymir’s Divine Bone… When Alex turned into a cocoon and evolved into a teenager last time, Ymir’s Divine Bone had changed the quality issue of his bones. This time, it even dragged over the runes of the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell so that they would become the carriers for its evolution again.
Alex’s bones had reached another level.
The mere bone patterns naturally did not surface and could only become the nutrients for evolution.
Whoosh!
When all the energy on the tree was sucked dry, it sank under the water pool and disappeared.
“What an amazing tree!” Alex was satisfied.
When he saw Shirley’s insatiable, indignant look, he said, “Let’s go back I’ve gained some information from that foreign humanoid demon, and I’ll tell the rest after we get back.”
Hence, the two people left the spider lair and found Pigsy hiding outside.
When Pigsy sensed their essence was abnormally powerful, it instantly froze. “What did you guys get down there?”
Alex said, “A peerless treasure, the source of bone patterns. Unfortunately, you missed the boat again.”
Pigsy was speechless.
It was then that there was a loud whooshing in the sky, causing a sonic boom.
The two people and the pig concealed their breathing as they thought some big shots flew through the sky. However, as soon as they raised their heads, they saw two aircraft piercing through the sky at a breakneck speed with dazzling light.
“Those are…”
“Those look like the machines in your ring.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2533
“Did they come to fool around with us?”
The young lady, Shirley Hancock, even cursed in rage. This was too unfair.
However, Alex activated his divine eye and stared intently at the two aircraft. Presently, he saw that they hadn’t really flown away, but had actually landed several kilometers from where they were.
Four people walked out of the aircraft. They were two men and two women with skeletal bodies.
His deduction was not because he could see the unique differences between male and female skeletons, but because all four wore clothes. No… Those should be some standard armor with differences between males and females.
“These people can wear their clothes, so they clearly have special methods.”
“Like this tiny ring on my finger?”
Alex stared at those four people. Then, he unexpectedly saw those four people rushing over here.
“D*mn!”
“These people are too devious! ” Alex helplessly complained. They were overcautious in their actions to the point that they were impeccable.
Those people had just unleashed a hellish aerial bombardment and deliberately flew away after. Then, they secretly came over from a distance to outflank them. They were simply cunning like old foxes.
“What’s wrong?” Shirley saw his abnormal condition.
“Those people are trying to outflank us from afar. There are four very paranoid people, two men and two women wearing armor,” Alex answered directly.
“Where are they?”
“Over there. Probably another twenty kilometers.”
“Uh… You’re joking, right? That’s so far away and there are woods everywhere. Divine sense can extend up to five meters, so how did you know that?” Shirley did not believe him and thought he was spewing nonsense and deliberately scaring her.
Alex said, “My eyes can see through…”
Shirley jumped up. “X-ray vision?”
Alex hurriedly corrected himself. “No, no. I was just…”
Shirley clutched her chest. “You still want to deny it? You’ve let the cat out of the bag! Oh gosh! You actually possess such a dirty skill! Then, did you see… All of the previously?”
Meanwhile, Pigsy said indifferently, “You don’t have to care so much about that. When you were at his house last time, you were no different from wearing a birthday suit.”
It would’ve been fine if Pigsy did not say that. Once it did, however, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Alex said, “I only realized I have this ability after coming here.”
“You’re a liar!” Shirley replied.
As Alex stared ahead, he squinted and said, “Now isn’t the time to talk about this. Those four people are trialists from outside. They are so fast that they will be here very soon, so we have to think of a way to deal…”
Whoosh!
The two people and the pig hurriedly got off the tree. Shirley pointed at a hilltop on the right. “Go there. We can see the spider lair. I’d like to see what the heck those things really are.”
They moved rapidly as well, immediately leaving the area and ascended to a mountain peak, hiding in a certain concealed corner.
Alex even deliberately set up a force field for concealment.
The four outsiders surpassed the distance of twenty kilometers in less than half a minute and came near the bombarded spider lair… They behaved very cautiously and calmly like the best hunters. They did not immediately rush out and show themselves. Instead, they searched over a huge perimeter to ensure no danger before appearing before the vast crater.
They were probably looking for the corpses of Alex and the others. They did not find the bodies after looking around.
They began talking. However, they were all foreign languages.
The voices faintly entered the ears of Alex and the others. Darn it They failed to understand a word.
“Should we kill them?” Shirley asked Alex as she was exasperated. If it weren’t for Alex, she and Pigsy would have died.
“Why are you so aggressive?”
“I want the clothes on them.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2534
Alex looked at Shirley.
It seemed his previous words that stimulated her to wear pants had irritated her.
“All those four people apparently have extraordinary strength. Two of them have yellow bone patterns, whereas the other two have the green ones.” While considering the situation, Alex informed her in a low voice, “Yellow bone patterns should rank higher than the green ones, right?”
“Did you see that with your X-ray vision?”
Shirley and Pigsy, whose visions were blocked, could not see bone patterns on the four people because they were wearing armored outfits.
At this point, Alex did not deny and nodded.
Shirley said, “Indeed, yellow bone patterns are more powerful.”
Both the man-faced spider and catfish previously had green bone patterns. As a result, Alex’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at that battle power. Although he had Ymir’ s Divine Bone, his cultivation level was too low. Even if he had now strengthened his cultivation base, it would be difficult for him to bypass the ranks and kill the enemies.
As soon as Shirley heard that there were two opponents with yellow bone patterns, she could only suppress the killing intent in her mind.
Although she had golden bone patterns, the point was that she had too few of them, and her cultivation level was not enough to support her.
“Hmph! It’s been quite hot recently. I was planning to wear clothes in the next few days, but I’ll let them keep it for me first!” Shirley said that. Then, she rolled her eyes at Alex. “X-ray Man, don’t you look at me because I feel like stuffing two lumps of mud in your eye sockets.”
“They are gone,” Pigsy replied.
As expected, those four people found no bones at the spider lair, let alone bone patterns.
At that time, they looked quite disappointed and angry. A man even stomped his foot fiercely.
They saw a deep crater forming as a result of the stomp.
Alex’s pupils constricted. “The power of laws!”
Furthermore, that guy who stomped his foot just had green bone patterns.
“He’s beyond Immortalization!”
Shirley said, “Aren’t there laws restricting people in any realm in the universe from becoming Immortals?”
“There’s always an exception. For instance, the laws here are very comprehensive,” Alex said. “Another example is the Olympus Tribe. Even their servants, who were once lofty deities, are beyond Immortalization and are trying to find ways to survive. The descendants of many ancient races are also exploring breakthroughs… Besides, three millennia have passed, and the Wasteland has begun to recover. I think that the other worlds in this universe have long since returned to their previous state and are no longer under the restriction of laws.”
Pigsy chimed in, “That makes sense too. Besides, aren’t there other universes?”
Shirley suddenly looked at Alex “Do you know the Mystic Maiden’s origin?”
“Uh…”
Alex and Pigsy glanced at each other and stopped talking.
That was their mistress, and they had signed the soul contracts. The Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens had tormented the two of them with the power of the contracts. That was overwhelmingly painful, a fate worse than death, especially for Pigsy, who did not weaken the contract’s power like Alex. When it ran out to find the sow and did not return, the contract’s restriction that the Mystic Maiden activated was real…
Pigsy said to itself that it would never disobey its master’s will in the future. It would rather become its master’s bootlicker than an honorable dead pig.
However, Shirley Hancock clearly did not intend to hear anything out of their mouths. Instead, she stated a result that she had deduced, “I suspect that Mystic Maiden isn’t someone from our universe.”
Alex froze for a brief moment.
Meanwhile, Pigsy looked at Alex. Compared to him, it was just Mystic Maiden’s pet.
Alex was the closest person to Mystic Maiden. Only Alex knew the best whether the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens originated from this world.
“What makes you think that?” Alex asked.
“I guessed it.”
Alex said, “Stop guessing blindly. I also hope that she’s someone from the outer universe so I can learn a lot more. Hurry up and go! Those four people we saw today are a bit troublesome. I wonder if there are other trialists. Judging by their current stance, they will launch violent attacks on us once they discover us. We are just prey in their eyes.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2535
“Perhaps they think that we’re aborigines of this world. Look, we are uncivilized, poor, and don’t even wear clothes,” Pigsy said with a snort.
“Let’s go!”
Those four people were long gone by now. Alex and the others descended from the hilltop and rushed in the direction of that cave.
It was then that Alex glanced at the tridimensional map scattered by the bone patterns in his sea of consciousness, only to discover something was wrong.
Three energy points represented the people that had rapidly flown far away, whereas the other point was hidden nearby. Furthermore, it was yellow.
“Something’s wrong!
“One guy didn’t leave! Run!”
After discovering the anomaly, Alex instantly realized how dangerous the situation was. He instantly pulled Shirley and Pigsy before teleporting to another location.
Whoosh! Whoosh, Whoosh!
Like bolts of lightning, they instantly reached another position.
“Huh?”
A voice suddenly rang in several people’s ears.
That person was really hiding in the dark, waiting for Alex and the others to appear. It was a woman.
She had discovered Alex and the others hiding at the mountain peak earlier but she clearly wanted all the profits to herself and was unwilling to share the bone patterns on Alex and the others with her allies. Thus, she found an excuse not to travel with them and ran back after going in the other direction.
‘They actually know Instant Teleportation?’
‘Have I caught a big fish?’
As fast as lightning, the woman turned into a red shadow streak and swished through the forest before blocking Alex and the others.
“Where did you come from?”
“You don’t even wear clothes. Could you be a native of this place?”
The woman spoke. Wearing a silver helmet on her head, her eye sockets were pitch-black and her expressions were invisible. Meanwhile, a decent looking red battle robe with a leaf mark adorned her chest and skeleton patterns had been put on her.
It was no wonder Shirley would take a fancy to her battle robe. Compared to her current bare skeleton, she would look a whole lot prettier in that. It was simply the difference between a primitive tribal nanny and a glorious imperial princess.
However, Alex and the rest couldn’t understand what she said.
She then spoke a few words in different languages, but the result was the same.
Alex also tried saying something. Unfortunately, they failed to understand each other. And so, they failed to communicate.
The woman nodded as she looked at Shirley’s chest. Clearly, she had her eye on her golden bone patterns. Then, she launched an attack.
The target of her attack was not Shirley, but it was… Pigsy!
“Oink!”
Pigsy did not expect that to be the first to be targeted. It immediately turned into a lightning streak and fled behind Alex.
It was aware of its limitations. It would only dig its own grave if it were to retaliate against a cultivator with red bone patterns. So, it could only rely on its speed for a chance of survival.
Simultaneously, Alex instantly unleashed the attack that he had accumulated for a long while.
Bong!
He activated the Requiem Clock to deal with the woman’s soul.
However, little did he expect that the silver hehnet on that woman’s head would dazzle with radiance, forming a protective sphere. It protected her head by forming something like a force field, blocking all the effects of the Requiem Clock.
“D*mn! What the heck is with this helmet? How is it so strong?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2536
However, Alex’s Requiem Clock was also the reason that they disrupted this woman. She lunged at Pigsy, attacking it with her palm. But, the noise made her pause for a brief while.
Due to this short pause, Pigsy escaped as it let out a long and loud oink, running off into the forest like a ray of light. Despite this, the woman still managed to slap the end of Pigsy’s tail, causing that end of the bone to fall to the ground.
Pigsy didn’t dare to get it back.
“The Requiem Clock?”
This female outsider didn’t chase after Pigsy. Instead, she was looking at the clock in Alex’s hands. There weren’t any eyeballs in her sockets. Otherwise, they would’ve been filled with greed.
It was simply impossible not to feel excited about this. The Requiem Clock was a holy treasure, after all.
This place was a demon realm under the Dairaionji Temple. With something like the Requiem Clock, one would have a greater chance of entering the temple when sinking into the Pool of Afterlife.
That was why she had to obtain the clock, hence going on a frenzy.
Shing!
Two short blades formed in her hands, both glistening under the light, radiating pressuring energy from within. Around her was a three-layered Immortal Wheel of Life, spinning around her as if it were a shield.
There were different layered Immortal Wheels of Life. One layered wheel was for Innnortals, two layered wheels were for Human Immortals, whereas three were for Earthly Immortals.
So this indicated that the woman was an Earthly Immortal, still able to show her cultivation skills within this hellish place.
“Argh!” The woman screamed. Paired with her helmet, a hoop of silver mental energy attacked them as if it were an avalanche…
It didn’t just feel like an avalanche, it was as big as an avalanche.
The woman’s mental attack formed a mental realm within this area. It even manifested a mystical scenery of the moon rising out of the sea. A full moon slowly rose from the horizon of the deep blue sea. They could even hear the wind blowing as waves crashed onto the shore.
At the same time, an endless spiritual pressure was trying to swallow Alex’s mental world whole.
“Hold it, Clinton!” Alex yelled, dragging Shirley toward him, so the clock covered the both of them. He also inserted large amounts of divine power into it.
Boom!
Ding!
As the mental realm befell them, the Requiem Clock let out a loud toll.
Alex and Shirley hid underneath, enduring the fear of their soul being drowned in the sea. The sensation was just too real, it made them feel despair and helpless. That was the difference between their powers alongside all the gadgets on the woman.
If they had any blood, the both of them would’ve vomited long ago. Despite this, they still felt quite upset, especially their souls.
“Do you really think hiding under the Requiem Clock would work?”
“These two maggots have no use to me since we can’t communicate!”
The woman muttered to herself, though Alex and Shirley obviously didn’t understand a word.
After that, she increased the pressure on her mental power.
The mystical scenery became even clearer now. The third layered Immortal Wheel of Life appeared in the reahn as well. This made the attack even heavier…
The woman was set on obtaining the Requiem Clock, and she couldn’t afford to let anyone witness this. She was worried that her companions would find her, so she had to speed things up.
“Ah, my head hurts! It’s like my scalp is breaking open!” Shirley screamed, hugging Alex tightly.
Alex was very uncomfortable in this situation too. Despite being under the Requiem Clock, he could still see the waves and the bright moon.
Clinton, the spirit of the Requiem Clock, screamed. “This woman mastered the Moonrise Illusion. That’s the ultimate form of a mental realm. Only one in a billion people could master this! This woman must be a Holy Maiden of some clan! Her potential is endless, so she must have been trained like a seeded player. She’s extraordinary!”
Alex yelled, “What’s the point of saying that now? Just hold it!”
Clinton shook his head. “I’m at my limit! Your mental power simply isn’t strong enough. It dictates the limits to my power, you know!”
“F*ck!” Alex cursed, knowing that Clinton wasn’t reliable.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2537
Alex wanted to try and escape, but Clinton spoke again.
“I remember that the Ksitigarbha had given you the Ten Wheels Earth Incantation. Since this place belongs to the Dairaionji Temple, there’s no way he won’t help his followers, right? Try it out. It might activate some law power.”
‘Uhm…’ Alex froze.
“Does that mean the followers could cheat their way out of this?”
Without hesitation, he immediately started chanting, “Namo Myoho Renge Kyo…”
“Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation, Seal of Noble Light!”
“Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation, Mahayana Righteous Seal!”
“Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation, Seal of Mercy and Comfort!”
“Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation, Heavenly Nirvana Seal!”
He shouted the first five seals over and over again, as if he were a broken recorder, hoping to blast into the woman’s mental realm.
As expected, Alex felt the law power increasing. It was the support of holy law power to use the Ten Wheels Earth Incantation, increasing the power of the Requiem Clock as well.
Boom!
Splash!
The Moonrise Illusion was now shattered, ripped apart with the combined powers of the Requiem Clock and Alex.
“What..?!” The woman felt her body stumbling, nearly losing her balance.
Her mental realm was the Moonrise Illusion, which placed fifth within the tenth strongest mental image in the entire universe. Even if a Heavenly Golden Immortal showed their true form here, her mental image would still have broken their minds, rendering them mentally retarded from the impact alone.
Despite this, these two natives, who weren’t even close to being Immortals, were able to shatter her mental realm.
‘What was that large guide?’
‘And what was that loud melody?’
At the same time, Alex flipped the clock over and rushed out from beneath, holding onto the Xavion Sword. While the woman was still in a daze, he swung his sword fiercely at her.
Clank!
The two short blades in the woman’s hands clashed with Alex’s Xavion Sword, creating sparks.
The short blades and armor were not ordinary either, they were all filled with divine power. As she fought against Alex’s sword, her red battle outfit flowed with complicated and odd symbols. They seemed to be supplying her with unlimited mystic power.
The third layered Immortal Wheel of Life turned into a shield as well. She managed to block off Alex’s attack with the Xavion Sword.
The attack only managed to leave two dents onto her short blades. Yet, these two dents made the woman extremely enraged. With her aura growing more intense, she glared at Alex’s sword.
“What sword is that?”
She was greedy once more, set on obtaining Alex’s sword as well.
It was unfortunate that Alex couldn’t comprehend a word she said.
However, Shirley made a move. While the woman was occupied with Alex, she rushed from behind and harshly kicked the woman’s crotch.
“Oh my god!” Alex was shocked as to how cruel Shirley was.
‘It looks like some women can be more brutal than men!’
However, the woman didn’t scream in pain as they expected. The part where Shirley kicked was now glistening with red light, protected by mystic power. It blocked off Shirley’s attack, even going as far as to fracturing her right leg.
Shirley yelped in pain. ‘Holy sh*t, this woman’s armor is just way too strong!’
Although hurt, Shirley wasn’t quite done yet. She gritted her teeth and lunged at the woman, using her golden bone patterns to attack the woman’s back. After that, she yanked the woman’s helmet off.
Seeing the opportunity, Alex immediately stabbed right through her skull with his sword.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2538
“Ahhhh!” The woman shrieked as her skull twisted into an odd angle. Her Immortal Wheel of Life was trying to protect her head as well.
Yet, Alex was wielding the Xavion Sword. He even attacked with the holy power of a Buddhist cultivator. A beautiful melody of Buddhist chants filled the air as sacred symbols flowed over the sword.
Using law power to restrict her movements, along with Shirley’s help, Alex managed to penetrate her Immortal Wheel of Life, stabbing her hyoid bone. Suddenly, yellow light exploded in their eyes. It was the woman’s yellow bone patterns. They seemed to have gathered in one spot, forming a shield in the shape of a turtle shell, blocking the tip of the Xavion Sword.
“What?!”
“You can use bone patterns like that?”
Alex was surprised once again, but he didn’t have any other choice now. He had to kill. Lighting up the patterns on his skeleton, Ymir’s Divine Bone was now burning hot as he activated the furnace of forbidden spells too.
Thud!
The noise was loud and clear. The Xavion Sword penetrated the yellow shield formed by the woman’s bone patterns. All the patterns broke apart, retreating into her bones.
On the other hand, the sword sliced through the woman’s hyoid bone.
Boom!
The woman leaped up, using her strongest attack this time, kicking Alex in his lumbar spine. She then used her short blades and swung them at Shirley’s lower ribs.
Three of Shirley’s ribs were broken in half, yet she still seemed quite pumped up, grabbing the woman’s blades with her bare hands.
She then shouted to Alex, “Quick, kill this b*tch!”
After that, the golden bone patterns glowed brightly, and golden light surrounded her entire body. If she didn’t do so, she would’ve been killed by this woman long ago.
The woman, on the other hand, was starting to panic. Alex’s spine didn’t break despite being kicked with full force.
‘How is this possible?’
She thought that her kick would’ve easily broken gold bars into pieces, let alone just mere bones. However, she couldn’t have known that Alex’s spine was the toughest among his skeletal system since it was Ymir’s Divine Bone. It wouldn’t break even with ten thousand kicks, let alone just one.
Dong!
The Requiem Clock launched an attack as well, sending a loud sound wave into the woman’s soul. After that, Alex stuck his sword right in the middle of her forehead.
Shing!
The sword stabbed right through the skull, ending merely five inches away from Shirley’s head.
Shirley froze for a split second. Her grip loosened as she fell to the ground. It would seem that she had fainted…
‘Souls can faint too?’
This was out of Alex’s expectations.
“Ahhhhh! No!”
The woman’s soul struggled hard as she let out a painful and upsetting scream. As a legendary genius, she was able to summon the Moonrise Illusion. She was one of the very few people who could stand on the very top of a pyramid. Known as their future empress, she couldn’t believe that she would die in these weak natives’ hands.
She wasn’t willing to accept her fate, but it didn’t matter. She had no way of saving herself at this point, not when her forehead had been pierced. This indicated that her mind palace had been penetrated.
Thud!
The woman fell to the ground flat on her face, no longer showing any signs of life.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2539
Alex let out a sigh. His palm was stinging with pain. The battle was quite life-threatening, after all.
‘That female outsider is unexpectedly strong.’ Alex thought. ‘Then won’t the others on the airship be just as annoying as she is?’
However, the most important thing they had to do now was to escape this place. He lifted Shirley in one arm, dragging the female outsider’s corpse with the other. After that, he used Instant Teleportation and escaped far away.
Seconds after he left, three people rushed over as fast as lightning. They were the companions of the dead woman.
They seemed to have some sort of special connection.
“Alyssa’s dead. Her soul has shattered!”
“Why would something like this happen? Alyssa Huffman is the best prodigy of the Horizon clan in 100 millennials! Yet she died here? The clan is going to go mad for this!”
“The Huffmans would definitely look into her death. They might interrogate us and her fiance too. Oh god, this is too troublesome…”
“That’s after we get out, though. Think about it, who killed Alyssa? Could it really be the natives we saw a while ago?”
These people spoke in a very foreign language. It didn’t sound to be of this world. Even if Alex and the others were to eavesdrop on them, they wouldn’t be able to understand a word.
However, they were utterly shocked by Alyssa’s murder, losing their arrogance completely. They couldn’t help but feel kind of scared since Alyssa was the strongest amongst them. Now that she was the first to be killed, they worried about their fates if they were in her place.
“I think there’s some residual holy energy here. It’s pretty pure.” One of them squatted down abruptly, grabbing a handful of dirt.
That was exactly the spot where Alex used the Requiem Clock to cover himself.
Everyone was surprised to hear this, checking it out themselves.
“As expected, even residual holy energy is still very pure. It’s the Chi of an ancient Buddha, after all.”
“This… Too surprising. We’re talking about an ancient Buddha here. Do ancient Buddhas still exist in this universe?”
“They could be from another universe! This is good news, no matter how l see it. Those naked punks are probably ancient Buddhist cultivators.”
“It was rumored that such cultivators are quite poor, and they don’t care much about appearance. They even treat their bodies as mere meat sacks… But the Dairaionji Temple is no doubt most compatible with ancient Buddhist cultivators. We have to find them. We might be able to enter the true Dairaionji Temple, you know?”
Hearing this, all of them were excited. They were no longer hung up on Alyssa’s death, hoping to hunt down Alex and the rest instead.
One of them suggested, “I think we have to work with those people.”
They then discussed a plan and fled the scene quickly. They knew that ancient Buddhist cultivators had the upper hand in this place, and the people in the Dairaionji Temple would definitely favor them.
They thought that was how Alyssa got murdered. Since the three of them weren’t any stronger than Alyssa, they figured that they’d meet their demise if they bumped into those people, so leaving was the best choice for now.
By then, Alex had reached a faraway place with Shirley and Alyssa’s corpse.
He looked at the 3D map in his mind. Knowing that there weren’t any bone patterns nearby meant that they were safe for now.

By then, Alex had reached a faraway place with Shirley and Alyssa.
He looked at the 3D map in his mind. Knowing that there weren’t any bone patterns nearby meant that they were safe for now.
Hence, he immediately threw Alyssa’s body aside and checked on Shirley.
She was unconscious from using way too much soul power. The fractures also caused more damages to her soul.
Alex pondered and used the Ultimate Book of Medicine to comfort and heal her soul. As the Ultimate Book of Medicine had widespread knowledge, not only was it able to cure humans and ghosts, it could even heal gods. It was certainly an extraordinary book
Alex used his soul power as a healing method, summoning Zharvakko talismans and inserting them into her soul.
Half an hour later, Shirley regained consciousness and looked at Alex. “Did you enter my mind?”
Alex shrugged. “I didn’t look through your memories.”
Using this method to heal one’s soul had consequences. Healing a soul with a soul would cause their minds to cross. If he didn’t enter her mind, he wouldn’t be able to search for the wound.
Shirley was weirded out. “You saw that memory just now, right? Don’t deny it. I know you saw it because I saw it too. I just want to know if we saw the same thing.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2540
Alex acted obliviously. “I didn’t notice…”
Shirley interrupted him. “I already saw you in my mind. Why are you still lying? Tell me, is that little girl… Me?”
Upon hearing this, Alex knew that he couldn’t lie any longer, but this wasn’t his fault. He knew well that Shirley got in contact with a small green tree. The soul hiding in the tree had been waiting for quite some time to possess someone. She had entered Shirley’s mind and found that memory that had been locked away, usingit for her gains.
In other terms, she managed to release this memory. Even if Alex didn’t touch that memory of hers, she would remember it herself within a short time.
“I think you should ask your father or your grandfather!” Alex replied, admitting to knowing about that memory.
Shirley fell silent. Then after a long pause, she pointed at the corpse at the side. “I want her clothes.”
Alex nodded. “You deserve it.”
Shirley had contributed quite a lot during this fight. She basically gave her all. Alex couldn’t have succeeded in killing Alyssa if Shirley didn’t hold her off without caring about the consequences. She even managed to take off her helmet.
Shirley immediately went to take Alyssa’s red battle outfit as her own, whereas Alex checked on her finger bones. As expected, he found a small, delicate ring on her index finger. It was a storage ring that could be used in this realm.
Using his divine conscience to enter the ring, he was extremely shocked to see the treasures inside. It was rather spacious, ten times bigger than the one currently on him.
There were quite a lot of resources there. There were even more battle suits that looked like the one she was wearing. Moreover, there were another two airships, along with pulls, weapons, books, and scrolls…
Alex flipped through the books, but they were all illegible, like the ones he got a while ago. However, he found just what he wanted within those scrolls. It was about their language.
Alex was confused. ‘Why would the alien lady bring this with her? Is it to help others learn the language of their hometown?’
He had no idea that this was essential to geniuses like Alyssa.
This was indeed to help others learn their language, so that they could communicate easily.
