Ch. 2741..2750
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2741
The demonic shadow roared. Demonic runes all over the sky condensed into a bloody palm print as big as a house before slamming down toward Alex.
Alex left his primordial and divine eyes open. Presently, the large, blood-red palm print that he saw actually was actually made up of countless blood-red demonic eyes. Filled with malicious intent and exuding blood energy, they slammed Alex in the face.
Dorothy’s warning came from the sky. “ Idiot! Dodge it!”
Alex wanted to dodge it as well. However, he noticed that the palm made of eyes contained some kind of magical power that severely interfered with his mental domain. Each pair of eyes was an erosion of negative energy.
“Mental domain! Activate!” Alex unleashed his mental domain.
In an instant, the visions of his mental domain were drawn out, an expanse of immortal mountains, a large gold en lake, falling stars, to resist the mental coercion formed by countless eyes that were staring at him. Even so, he realized that even if the mental vision had appeared, they were still unstoppable.
The mental domain the bloody eyes unleashed was like infernal hell condensed with endless resentful Chi, revealing a dead ancient city.
The city gates were wide open, what lay inside was from a time long gone. Two eerie rows of white paper lanterns stretched from the entrance into the infinite darkness. Inside the dead city, corpses were strewn over the place and piled up like a mountain.
The spirits of the deceased were all headed in a single direction. Each spirit possessed a pair of bloodshot eyes. They looked just like those eyes that formed the large palm.
Boom!
The mental domains of both parties clashed, yet Alex’s mental domain was no match for the opponent.
One should know that his current mental domain had become extremely powerful after gaining exponential growth in the Underworld. His mental visions were also far more advanced than ingenious seeded players. Recently, however, his mental visions disintegrated upon touching the opponent.
His mental visions were wiped out clean right after entering the opponent’s dead city domain.
It seemed that everything that had gone inside could only turn out dead in the end. And all of that happened in a brief moment.
‘Not good!’
Alex was aware that the situation was critical.
Carol’s bloody palm was terrifying, and it contained a bizarre mental domain. If slapped, one’s soul would be devoured and, similarly, would turn into a spirit in the dead city, becoming a pair of eyes on the bloody palm.
In that moment of desperation, Alex activated the ax in his sea of consciousness.
That mysterious ax had been stored in Alex’s sea of consciousness for a long while. Although he hadn’t refined it successfully, he had been wrapping it with his mental consciousness for such a long time, trying to interact with it.
Undoubtedly, that small looking ax was definitely no ordinary object.
Now that he was in a life or death moment, Alex activated his most potent mental power to influence it. The small ax was successfully stimulated and drew out of the sea of consciousness.
It gently hacked at the bloody palm.
Buzz!
The buzz fanned out over the bloody palm. The ax was as tiny as a fingernail.
When the ax’s blade gently touched that palm, strange black light burst out from a single point and rapidly spread all over the surface. A soft sound could be heard.
The bloody palm print disintegrated, and all the eyes that formed the palm turned into dust before disappearing without a trace.
“Ah..?!”
The demonic shadow shouted madly in pain. To her surprise, not only did Alex repel her bloody palm print, but he exterminated it with a single blow. It was more precious than her demon heads and was the origin of her existence.
It was then that an arrow pierced through the air and reached her. In an instant, it penetrated the back of Carol’s head and came out of her mouth, still burning.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2742
Roar!
The demonic shadow let out an earth-shattering roar in boundless pain.
A normal person would’ve been long dead after receiving such a severe injury. Moreover, the arrow that Dorothy had shot was definitely not an ordinary arrow. The burning flame on it was the universally well-known flame of Nirvana.
However, the members of the Blood Cult were bizarre and mysterious, their body composition differing from the average person. Having hurt many to benefit themselves and bearing heavy blood debts, they would not hesitate to massacre an entire city, even if it was just for a meager profit.
For instance, when her life was seriously under threat, she used all the ghouls on her that she could use to block the flame. She even shackled Carol’s soul to fend off the disaster.
“No! don’t!”
“What are you doing?! What are you trying to do?! Are you abandoning me?!”
Carol instantly sensed it. That woman initially had an ulterior motive. Carol achieved her current ability because of that demonic shadow, but she was also using her to achieve what she wanted. Carol also guarded against her in regular times.
However, only in a moment of life or death did she realize she had no room for resistance.
The demonic shadow sneered. “You’ve caused all of this. If you hadn’t concealed the existence of this woman, would we have come here, risking our lives and ending up in such a state? But now, I have to make changes to the previous arrangement, and it’s your chance to atone for your sins.”
The demonic shadow squeezed Carol’s soul and cast. a spell as fast as she could.
Dorothy’s arrow contained supremely secret power. The flame of Nirvana would never cease until the soul was destroyed.
The demonic shadow had a goal, to turn Carol into a scapegoat
Boom!
Carol had already received severe injuries, and at that moment, her soul was also shackled and sent before the flame of Nirvana. Before she could curse, she was consumed by that terrifying flame.
After her soul was destroyed, the flame of Nirvana ceased.
With her trick, the demonic shadow deceived Dorothy’s flame of Nirvana. The flames on her arrow were extinguished.
Immediately afterward, that arrow also vanished. It was an arrow of laws, an intangible substance.
However, Carol’s body abruptly exploded as a demonic shadow mass rushed out of the core before turning into thousands of bloody shadows and rushing in all directions… She broke herself into pieces and fled desperately.
“You’re trying to escape? No way!”
Dorothy had long stood on the ground, and she fiercely stomped her foot.
The lifelike phantom of a flaming phoenix appeared on the ground.
Boom!
The phoenix exploded into thousands of sparks, chasing after the demonic shadows. It was apparent that the bloody demonic shadows the sparks touched were burned and consumed. However, some of them turned to pounce on the crowd after seeing the situation turning south.
Swoosh!
At least several hundred people in the tilting skyscraper were hit, and the scattered blood shadows burrowed into them, hiding in the bodies of mortals to avoid pursuit.
‘D*mn it!’ Dorothy cursed in her heart when she saw what was happening.
Faced with the lives of several hundred mortals, she couldn’t possibly let the flame of Nirvana chase after them. Even a cultivator who encountered her flame of Nirvana would be annihilated in the blink of an eye, what more a mere mortal.
The flaming phoenix beneath her just now was the empress’ power that she had acquired at the Stoermer Sect altar.
“Ahh!”
Countless mortals screamed. They previously witnessed the terror of those sparks, but they were rushing toward themselves. However, those sparks of Nirvana that were rushing toward the mortals seemed to possess great spirituality, and they stopped about 1.5 feet away from their targets.
‘How devious!’
Even Dorothy, in the face of such results, was at wit’s end.
It was then that over ten thousand beams of golden light appeared in the sky and enveloped the entire skyscraper.
The one emanating the light was none other than Alex. It was unknown when he had leaped into the air and floated cross-legged in the sky above the skyscraper while exuding dazzling golden light all over his body.
Ancestral Bodhi Tree’s phantom appeared behind him, and densely packed Buddhist texts surrounded him.
“Oh, the path of Buddhist cultivation?”
“This guy actually possesses a faint scent of the Buddha. Hey. Does your man want to become a monk and sever all love affairs?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2743
Dorothy spoke softly as if talking to herself. The one who had, in fact, said those words was Xienna. Currently, she coexisted with Dorothy.
Dorothy knew about Alex’s condition, so she answered, “He really wants to walk the path of Buddhist cultivation, but Buddhist cultivation doesn’t necessarily mean that he will be a monk.”
Xienna snorted. “If so, he has to be a monk who doesn’t follow Buddhist commandments. Such a person will accomplish very little… How about this? Divorce him, and I’ll introduce you to a truly gifted heir in the future. At least he will achieve Divine Monarch status in the future.”
Dorothy said, “No need. I believe he’ll go beyond Divine Monarch.”
“Hmph! Narrow-minded!”
“Aren’t you more narrow-minded than me?”
The two souls in that body talked and communicated with each other. It was simply a replica of the previous interaction between Carol and the demonic shadow.
At that moment, Alex chanted a string of Buddhist hymns from Sakyamuni. He looked solemn with a magnificent voice while presenting an artistic conception of the Buddha.
“What is he going to do?”
“His appearance reminds me of the last scene in An American Ghost Story 3…”
“Turning into the Buddha?”
The guests at Rockefeller Manor all looked into the sky, discussing and gossiping among themselves.
A lotus full of Buddha’s wrath bloomed on Alex. It slowly descended before enveloping the skyscraper below.
He was refining. He refined the bloody demonic shadows in the bodies of all the possessed people in the skyscraper.
Xienna seemed a little shocked as she said, “It appears your man can indeed achieve something on the path of Buddhist cultivation.”
Alex could at least use that method to destroy the scattered demonic shadows that were fleeing. On the other hand, she could hardly do it with her current method unless she killed those innocent mortals. Who would do something like that if it was unnecessary?
Alex’s method was also the safest.
“Mom? Are you my mom?”
A small figure ran over and hugged Dorothy’s calf.
It was the eldest among the quadruplets. He lifted his tiny head and opened his hopeful eyes, his dark irises showing pure, unsullied innocence.
Dorothy froze. She felt a lump in her throat, and she almost shed tears.
After that, the other three children also came to embrace her. Some called her ‘Mom,’ while some addressed her as ‘Mommy.’ One little guy even directly rolled on the ground and bawled after seeing that there was no place for him to embrace her…
The mother and the children were connected.
“My… My children!”
Dorothy burst into tears.
The Buddhist song vanished three minutes later, and the lotus disappeared into thin air. The golden light enveloping the skyscraper also wholly dissipated.
Alex descended from the sky, went to Dorothy’s side, and looked at her tenderly. “Dorothy, you’ve succeeded. You‘ve finally gotten rid of that old witch and returned borne.”
Dorothy’s expression froze.
However, Alex directly held her face and kissed it.
He finally kissed her. It was still that feeling of being in love.
However…
The next second.
Smack!
Alex was slapped hard across the face. Dorothy knitted her shapely brows and scowled. “Who are you calling an old witch?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2744
“What?”
Alex was dumbfounded by the slap. It hit him so hard that he was caught off-guard. He had just been immersed in the warmth of the reunion between a husband and wife but was poured with cold water almost instantly. Now, half of his face was swollen.
His physical body was far stronger than a steel plate. One could tell how powerful that slap was.
Not only was Alex dumbfounded, but the crowd around him was shocked as well.
Many people covered their mouths and almost exclaimed as they did not know what was happening. It was a fight between immortals.
“You… You are… Xienna Stoermer?”
Alex finally understood and his heart sank. Only that woman would hit him like that, but if she wasn’t Dorothy, then where was she?
Could she have been eaten?
“It’s me. How about that? Shocked? Do you feel a sense of surprise?” Xienna stared at him coldly. After saying that, she kept spitting and said, “Nasty man. It’s all saliva. How disgusting.”
Alex fixed his eyes on her. “Where is Dorothy?”
“I’m here!”
A completely different voice from before came from the same person’s mouth. Compared to Xieima’s voice, this one was full of emotion and trembling. She was the real Dorothy.
Dorothy immediately squatted down after her eyes met Alex’s, embracing a few children.
“My darlings, I’m sorry for you guys…”
As soon as she opened her mouth, her eyes brimmed with warm tears. Since the day her children were born, Dorothy never got the chance to look at the quadruplets. Her wish, however, was finally granted today.
At that moment, a faint voice could be heard. “I’m going for a nap. I’ll wake up in three days.”
That was Xienna.
Facing Dorothy, Alex had many questions in his mind. However, when he saw her hugging the children and crying in pain, he kept his mouth shut in the end.
Soon, Claire and Beatrice rushed over, and the family members cuddled up.
***
Meanwhile, the tilting skyscraper had finally regained stability from the combined efforts of Daya, Mystic Maiden, and the others.
The people inside who survived the aftermath rushed out like a tide, fearing that they’d experience the life and death crisis they had. Presently, they wanted the most to leave this place, go home, see their family members, and calm themselves down.
However, they were still worried about the incident earlier.
A middle-aged man trembled with fear as he walked over and respectfully asked Alex, “Mr. Rockfeller, I just saw a ghostly red shadow enter my body. I could even feel that thing going into my brain. I would like to ask if that thing is still inside my brain. Will it come out and harm my family and me? I don’t dare to go home now!”
As soon as the statement came out, those who wanted to go home instantly lost that intention.
Everyone was afraid of implicating their family members.
Alex said with a smile, “Rest assured. I just shone with the golden light of Buddhism… Alright, you guys may not understand me in a while. To put it bluntly, the demonic shadows that entered your bodies previously have been refined and destroyed. There should be no problem.”
“Should be? Then, that means it’s not binding, right?” That man looked particularly cautious.
“Mr. Rockefeller, can you examine me thoroughly to make sure there’s no residue of… The demonic shadow in my body. I’m really worried. I have two children at home, so I can’t let them get hurt.”
Alex nodded and activated his divine and primordial eyes to examine him.
“It’s gone! Don’t worry and go home!”
However, after the previous man, someone else showed up for the same request.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2745
After Alex examined a man, the others also requested a check-up.
Someone directly said, “Mr. Rockefeller, that woman who laid a hand on us seems to be a Rockefeller. She hit us to get back at you, so you should be responsible for us…”
Shirley, standing next to Alex, wanted to refute him, but Alex stopped her.
He cast a glance at the crowd and said, “You have a point. How about this? Those among you who were invaded by the demonic shadows should have some demonic attribute residue in your bodies. But as time passes, they will slowly disappear. If you are really worried, I can teach you a Buddhist cultivation technique that specifically restrains evil spirits and demonic Chi.”
As soon as he said that, countless people showed intense interest.
Now that the spiritual energy had been resurrected, psychic users appeared one after another. Everyone wanted to become a cultivator. Unfortunately, they had no chance to do so.
The methods Alex and Dorothy displayed looked like deities from the sky that had descended to the mortal realm. They were the envy and admiration of every mortal… To put. it bluntly, everyone had a dream of becoming an immortal cultivator, and most of the people hoped that they could travel around the world to become carefree immortals.
“Really?”
“Is it a technique for godly cultivation?”
“Can I practice it to become like you?”
Everyone gathered around Alex, unable to hide their excitement and exaltation. After acquiring Alex’s affirmative answer, all they could do was to exclaim in shock.
After that, Alex generously evolved Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation above everyone’s head and personally enlightened the crowd with his divine sense, teaching them the first five incantations of Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation.
He even displayed the power of this cultivation technique.
“The sea of Buddhism is boundless and delivers all sentient beings from tribulations,” Alex finally said.
“I’m not advising you people to take refuge in religious life. Cultivating this technique has nothing to do with whether you believe in Buddhism. In fact, with the resurrection of the spiritual energy on Earth, opportunities will arise, but so will danger as well. Many will suddenly awaken and become psychic users. Many will also inexplicably join the ranks of cultivators, but they will eventually get a half-result with twice the effort and take many detours without a suitable cultivation technique!”
“I don’t wish for anyone to take unnecessary detours, so I made this top-notch Buddhist cultivation technique public.”
“First, there may be variables on Earth. The demonic shadows just now, for instance, will increase in number, so you all can defend yourselves after cultivation.”
“Secondly, a crisis may happen on Earth in the future. You all can achieve success in your cultivation to defend against foreign enemies. Everyone, even demons on Earth, can practice this cultivation technique!”
At that moment, an anomaly in the surroundings suddenly occurred to confirm the words that Alex had said.
A strange mist wafted out of the ground. At first, it was just a faint green mist. However, it soon became thicker and formed a white expanse.
“What’s going on?”
“Why did such a thick fog suddenly appear? There shouldn’t be any demons, right?”
“Mr. Rockefeller, look quickly. What’s going on here?” Many in the crowd were calling out.
However, Alex looked at some people around him in dismay. They each looked shocked.
“What a dense immortal mist!”
“The immortal realm is just like that!”
However, the white mist was still increasing. Standing three feet from each other, ordinary people could not see the others’ faces. Even so, everyone felt comfortable and relaxed.
One would be refreshed after taking a breath of such a white mist.
The Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens flew up into the sky with a swish and saw that the mist had enveloped half of California, and its central point seemed to be located at the manor of the Rockefellers.
In addition, she saw that kind of mist appearing at several places in the distance.
“This is the tide of spiritual energy!”
“The spiritual energy at this time possesses extremely active characteristics. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. Everyone quickly cultivate the technique and absorb the spiritual energy on the spot. Don’t miss this opportunity!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2746
Alex was weirded out by this. ‘Why is it flowing out from our place?’
Using Instant Teleportation, he sent himself thousands of meters into the air. Then, he looked towards the horizon with a divine glow shining within his eyes. He noticed that another mountain, thousands of miles away from him, was also seeping with spiritual white mist that spread towards its surroundings. Half the mountain was covered with such spiritual energy.
There was more in other areas as well…
‘The supremes from ancient times… The formation they’ve set is activating.’
‘This is probably the first wave of large benefits.’
‘The Wastelands have been deserted for three thousand years. They have finally got the rewards they deserved.’
Alex immediately descended, especially since the Spirit Gathering Array was in the manor. The array provided many perks, so it would be a waste not to put it to use.
“Time to enter the manor and into the array!” Alex ordered.
With this, all Rockefellers entered the manor. Brimming with colorful light, the array Alex set up a while ago was finally activated. Above it, a small vortex had generated, attracting all surrounding spiritual energy into the manor.
The large training arena was finally opened up.
***
Most guests within the manor were extremely confused.
Alex brought everyone into the array to train. He then sat down on the ground with his legs crossed, guiding the energy into their bodies, casting several familiar techniques and spells that showed up on each individual.
The stronger ones were able to absorb more, whereas the weaker ones, less. Despite that, everyone could feel their cultivation levels increasing at a rapid pace. The spiritual energy would then enter their bodies without them putting any effort
Back then, they needed a whole day to gather this amount of energy. Yet now, they managed to obtain it in three minutes.
This was an unbelievable concept since the training speed was 480 times higher than usual. As it was a great opportunity, everyone couldn’t help but greatly cherish it.
The guests, however, could only watch, not knowing what to do.
“Is this spiritual energy? It sounds like something good. So what do we do now?”
“Take deep breaths? Absorbing such energy makes me feel good, it’s as though I’ve become a fewyears younger. But I’d like to train too! Can someone teach me?”
At the venue, someone started training in their ancient martial arts. With swinging fists, they refined their skills. After that, these people were shocked by what they noticed. They used to start panting after a training session, yet they didn’t feel exhausted at all, feeling tremendously energetic. Their strength and speed were more powerful than before as well.
Moreover, some even upgraded their cultivation levels and skills while training.
“This is simply miraculous. Back then, I couldn’t even feel my inner force, yet I was able to do it with one try! I’ve trained my inner force! I’ve become an inner force cultivator!”
“Me too! I feel like I can keep going!”
“Oh my gosh! I’ve become a grandmaster! How did I do that?”
“My grey hair has turned black…”
Some martial artists were able to gain much from this. This made the average person envious of them, wishing they could join in.
Just then, a man was screaming as he hugged his head. “Ahhh, my head hurts! It hurts so much!”
That person wailed in pain, rolling on the ground with his head in his hands.
This shocked everyone. They didn’t know what was happening to him.
In just a few moments, everyone noticed a lump on the top of his head. The lump seemed to be broken as well, with blood flowing out of it.
It was an utterly horrifying scene.
Just as everyone thought that this man would die, someone yelled out. “Something’s inside your head, and it’s trying to come out! Please don’t tell me it’s some bug!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2747
That man was in so much pain he couldn’t speak properly.
However, the end result was baffling.
No bugs had come out of the person’s head, but a black horn grew out instead.
“Holy sh*t! What’s happening?”
“Yo Wilbert. A bullhom is growing out of your forehead. Are you the reincarnation of the Bull Demon King? The problem is, shouldn’t you get two horns? Why do you only have one? It’s so weird!”
However, this was just the beginning.
Someone seemed to be touching their backs, crying out in agony and complaining about being in tremendous pain, wishing they were dead. In the end, that person didn’t even have the strength to end his life. His tailbone somehow grew longer, turning into a bushy horsetail.
“Does this mean… My superpowers have awakened?” A man spoke up, seemingly understanding his current situation.
The man was a teacher from the Flying Eagles Academy, and he had come by to congratulate Alex, hoping to beg for some divine beast meat as well. He managed to get what he wanted but didn’t think there would be a spiritual energy overflow.
No ordinary person could awaken their superpowers that easily. It was decided in accordance with the person’s bloodline.
Some here were descendants of ancient demon tribes. With outside help, their bloodlines would be activated, causing their powers to awaken. They would then experience transformation, showing their true forms. This was why horns and tails were growing out of their bodies. Some who had strong connections with their bloodlines turned entirely into beasts.
Some who were standing right outside of the Rockefeller manor had learned the incantation from Alex.
Hearing Alex and Mystic Maiden’ s conversation, they imitated them and sat down too, activating the Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation.
It was natural that they hadn’t forgotten what they had just learned. After acfivating it, they realized that spiritual energy was rushing into their bodies. Within seconds, a mystical cycle materialized inside of their body.
They succeeded in guiding the energy into their bodies, solidifying the foundation of Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation.
At the time, Alex was within the array, absorbing as much spiritual energy as possible. He could open three thousand golden cores back in the Underworld, further improving his powers.
However, only his skeleton remained when he wandered in the Underworld. Thus, there was a gap between the power of his soul and flesh. Now that so much spiritual energy was being absorbed, the gap was closing quickly.
Just then, he could feel this purplish golden light shooting straight into his body, entering the golden pool of divine power. However, this light differed from divine power.
“This is… The loaded power of the Ksitigarbha‘s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation?!” Alex froze and figured it out immediately.
The appearance of such power surprised him. It didn’t combine with his divine power but sank into the golden pool instead, turning itself into a purple and golden phantom.
With the increase of power, the phantom became more apparent over time.
“What is this?”
“It looks like a ball!”
Although he couldn’t determine what it does, he could sense that. it was more concentrated than divine power. It was more straightforward as a type of energy, making it more important than spiritual energy.
“Wow, a pleasant surprise! I didn’t expect something like this!” Alex was shocked but overjoyed.
The goal of passing the incantation on was to obtain more divine power. Having such a pleasant surprise, he didn’t want to wait any longer.
Leaping out of the array, Alex yelled. “Everyone, the overflow is a very rare chance to improve yourselves! I will now be helping you master Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation! Even those who are unfamiliar can join my session. Learning this skill will make your powers limitless!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2748
The overflow lasted for three hours. Later on, the energy slowly dissipated. However, there were many outbursts of spiritual energy over the entire planet, especially around famous mountain ranges in America. After that, the energy even seeped into residential areas.
The next day, the news spread across the globe like wildfire.
As the sudden spiritual energy overflow appeared worldwide, many had their own theories and explanations for the odd occurrence.
Some professors emerged and said that this was the natural Chi within the Earth’s inner core. Due to high pressure, it was forced out of the ground like a geyser. They even went as far as making a 3D model. These theories sounded so convincing that many researchers began to support their thesis. Some even started rumors about this phenomenon, saying that the end was near and a sign from god. Using this explanation, they tried to convert others to their religion to receive salvation.
In just a few moments, someone posted a video online. In the clip, Dorothy came out from the void, riding a flaming phoenix as she fought the demon. Daya then summoned a large tree demon to hold a collapsing building.
Meanwhile, Alex had turned into a Buddha, radiating golden light and saving the possessed crowd. He also passed on the true Buddhist incantations, building a martial arts foundation for the average so they could defend themselves in the future…
All of this happened just yesterday, so many people didn’t quite believe it. The public initially refused to believe it and thought it must’ve been a video with CGI.
However, most Californians witnessed this incident with their own eyes. Many had even posted more videos on the internet to prove this. With Alex as the main character in the videos, the evidence only became more tangible since he was the one who sold priceless divine beast meat.
[The spiritual energy of this plane has recovered! Many demon tribes have awakened!]
[Earth is entering a new era. Expect new gods to emerge!]
[This is the era of change, the era of opportunity! Seize the chance, and you might just rise!]
Such comments arose on several social platforms, especially after several cultivators managed to awaken their powers after eating Alex’s divine beast meat yesterday.
Some developed the ability to control items with their minds, while others breathed fire, formed ice, and entered dreams. The most special ability was shapeshifting.
A mutant, for instance, claimed to be the ‘Bull Demon King’ on the internet due to the horn on his head.
Many recognized the mutant and knew that he was Wilbert Gunnhildr, who activated his bloodline in Alex’s home. A forty year old, and the manager of some winery, everyone just called him by his first name. He was small and introverted back then a good man who adored his wife. Now he felt better than ever. He grew to two meters in height and bulked up considerably as well. The horn on his head was especially eye-catching, too, being black and shiny.
It was indeed special.
He recorded a video of himself breaking a tall tree with one powerful punch. His horn was quite sharp and tough, he proved this by using a cutting machine.
Someone commented under the video,
[You just have one horn. So you’re technically unrelated to the Bull Demon King, right?]
Wilbert replied, [Who said the king was a hull with two horns? I’m much stronger than bulls with two horns, you know? I’m probably the Rhino Demon King!]
Such posts flooded the internet as if it were a tsunami. The Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation that Alex publicized also happened to be trending at the time.
Ksitigarbha wasn’t an unfamiliar name to the Americans. Many Buddhists were no stranger to that Buddha, some could even recite the entire legend, especially that one phrase the Buddha mentioned.
“I refuse to become a god before hell is cleared out!” This phrase would become the belief of many.
In reality, there was a version of the incantation on Earth, but that was just a mere incantation. It didn’t include any training techniques.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2749
The incantation on Earth differed greatly from what Alex received from Ksitigarbha.
Just yesterday, Alex revealed his golden Buddha phantom. He used a Buddhist song to help others learn the incantation.
There were over two thousand people present, yet everyone managed to receive a halo, officially becoming a Buddhist.
Someone had posted a video about how learning the incantation had cured all their diseases. Not only that, but he even became younger and had increased libido. Even the crippled could walk, and cancer patients were cured entirely upon their next check-up as well.
People have even trained for an entire night and managed to achieve inner peace within themselves. They could form the first wheel of the incantation, the Seal of Noble Light. A mere touch was enough to break a brick, more powerful than many ancient martial artists who have trained their entire lives.
This was how the chain reaction happened.
Soon, throngs lined up on the internet, egging for the authentic version of Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation, even foreigners.
***
The Rockefeller manor was exceptionally lively today. When Alex wasn’t home, it was like their family had lost their spine. Now that he was back, along with Dorothy, the female owner of this house, it was a rare reunion.
“Hey Alex, can you be quick? Go get more flour from the supermarket We don’t have enough!”
“Hurry along now! What are you waiting for? We still have guests coming, and we don’t have enough ingredients for the dumplings!”
The women called out to Alex.
It would seem that something had gone wrong during the celebration yesterday since everyone went training instead. Hence, the quadruplets weren’t even able to have a slice of their birthday cake.
At the time, Dorothy proposed that they reorganize the celebration… With Xienna only giving her three days to reunite with her family, she knew that she didn’t have much time. She couldn’t afford to waste precious moments. Thus, she decided to spend it with her four children. Even Alex placed second in her heart now.
A belated birthday celebration was a rather important event to them, but they merely invited their close relatives and friends this time.
One might say that dumplings were too simple of a meal to have at a birthday celebration, yet these weren’t any ordinary dumplings. Its filling was exceptional.
Alex had altered the recipe using the Ultimate Book of Medicine, and its main ingredient was divine beast meat, mixed with heavenly law fruit, Chaos Leaves, Bodhi Tree roots, and dozens of other natural sacred herbs. Such a dumpling was on the same level as a level nine spiritual pill. If they put it out for sale, people would be willing to buy it even if it were a billion dollars.
Alex yawned. “Why are you making so many? Just make soup instead. Everyone can just take their portion. It’s the same effect anyway.”
Dorothy rolled her eyes. “Is it really? This is for our children’s birthday, for Pete’s sake! Are you really going to just treat them to soup? If this were to get out, everyone would laugh at us, saying that we Rockefellers don’t know how to be good hosts!”
“Just go and get the ingredients. You look half asleep! What have you been doing last night, huh? Were you up to no good?”
Upon hearing this, Dorothy noticed that the women in the room had put on odd expressions.
Daya, Waltz, and Maya looked away from her, seemingly avoiding eye contact.
Alex replied. “I’ve been pretty tuckered out for the past few days. One night of sleep is not enough for me, you know? But alright, I’ll go get some right now. I’ll buy some extras too. It’s not like it’ll expire… As long as I put it in my storage ring.”
He then ran out as fast as he could.
Alex did, in fact, sleep last night, but not in a literal sense. He didn’t exactly get any shut-eye for the entire night.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2750
“Brother…”
“I’ll go with you!”
Beatrice ran out from the back, catching up to Alex. “This place has gone through quite a lot of changes lately. Even the layout of the supermarket has completely changed.”
“I’ll lead the way, and I know which flour is the best. My little nieces and nephews love my cooking. Morn even said they looked like foreigners trying our traditional food for the first time!”
Alex froze and looked at Beatrice as if it was the first time getting to know her.
“You know how to cook?”
When he first met Beatrice, she was a self-centered girl with princess syndrome, unable to do her own laundry. She would always hand him bags full of clothing whenever she got back from school-socks, shoes, he even had to wash her hot pants for her. Not just that, she couldn’t even cook herself a proper meal. Even a bowl of instant noodles would be a long stretch for this woman.
Beatrice huffed. “Looking down on me, are you? I know how to cook and bake lots of stuff. Pumpkin pops, sweet potato chips, butter ice cream, dragon fruit donuts, orange noodles… If you can name it, I can make it!”
Alex was utterly stunned, confused even. ‘What even are those things?’
He then found out from Beatrice that his quadruplets were very picky for food.
With the help of divine power, they grew quicker than their peers, thus needing more nutrition for their growth. Despite this, they were rather picky eaters. Not only did the food have to taste good, but it also had to look good for them to open their mouths, they would just complain about their hunger, otherwise.
The four looked similar and had similar tastes as well. They indeed were a bunch of precious gems requiring extra love and care.
Hence, everyone at home had to think of other ways to make good food. Beatrice even signed up for cooking classes, mainly about nutrition for children.
“You’ve changed a lot!” Alex smiled. “Thanks for everything you did for the kids.”
Beatrice replied, “Well, I’m their aunt. Besides, since they call me Mama, I’ve taken the liberty to make it my responsibility.”
Alex said, “If it’s too much work, you can hand it to someone else. Hire a few chefs or something. It’s not like we don’t have the money. We can definitely afford to get a couple.”
Beatrice shook her head. “Who knows who we might hire? You’re famous now, so our family is being watched most of the time. If we hire someone with bad intentions, they might poison the food. If that were to happen, we would only end up in regret.”
Alex asked, “It’s not that scary, now is it?”
“How is it not?”
Beatrice didn’t seem to be joking, telling Alex how some people from Mount Oro had come by to look for him.
Part of their group fell into their Seventy-two Heavenly Immortal slaying Formation. Hence, the rest backtracked and decided to attack them from the sidelines. To achieve their goals, they tried bribing some family friends of the Rockefellers.
They were simply fortunate that the Rockefellers were able to see through their lies. They couldn’t possibly imagine what would happen if they didn’t.
After that, Beatrice complained about how unreasonable those from Mount Oro were and how they had threatened them.
“By the way, I heard this powerful Divine Heir is coming down to Earth soon from Mount Oro too, right? And he’s a pretty big shot, too, with many other powerful figures supporting him. One look from him is enough to tum us into ashes! Is there really such a powerful person?”
Alex replied. “Don’t worry. I already killed him off.”
“What?!”
“It’s true.”
Speaking of Ale, Alex was reminded of Sion, who was still trapped within the Cleansing Vase. He had no idea how to deal with the descendent of a giant.
Moreover, he hadn’t killed off Miller yet, who remained trapped in the Seventy two Heavenly Immortal slaying Formation. It was Mystic Maiden’s idea, after all.
She figured that the ancestor’s powerful cultivation skills were rare, so he might turn out to be a significant weapon if they were to keep him alive.
This man was an Immortal Monarch zombie. If they could actually tame him, they would most definitely find it beneficial.
So, not long after that, they finally reached the entrance to the supermarket. The two were, however, interrupted by a large crowd as someone recognized Alex, hoping to learn the enchantment from him. Moreover, people analyzed this incantation on the internet, especially among experienced martial artists.
