Ch. 2921..2930
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2921
“Dig the ground!”
The assault of the astral wind had taken the lives of many from the two ancient sects. They had also experienced pain worse than death, and they couldn’t care less about Alex and Jade now. Under the situation where no boulders could be found, the people desperately dug a hole in the ground.
Alex seized the opportunity and unleashed a Frost Arrow at Jeremy. He took Jade’s hand and quickly cut and ran to the side. The two people’s bodies had an advantage in the face of Jeremy.
However, a lingering fear bugged them when they thought of the previous situation.
“Let’s dig into the ground!”
Alex believed that even Jeremy was unlikely to come after them in this astral Windstorm. Moreover, they had changed their positions many times midway, so it should be hard to find them.
Boom!
Alex dug the ground with the Dao Killing Sword. The ground was extremely hard after being thoroughly tempered by the astral wind… If it were slightly more fragile, it would have long been razed. The rest were all deviants among the stones.
After the slash landed on the ground, only a sword mark with a depth of ten centimeters was made. However, it was pretty decent. After landing dozens of slashes on the ground, a small crater was finally created.
Then, Jade made a move by directly hammering the ground a dozen times with the Martello Cello. The crater immediately became two or three times larger.
As the astral wind got stronger, the two people hurriedly hid in the crater and sealed the opening with the Martello Cella.
The crater that had been made in a hurry was naturally shallow, so it looked crowded when the two people were hiding in it. They needed to face each other and lie down side by side. Alex could even feel the warm air she exhaled. Moreover, her thighs were stunningly supple.
Alex gulped involuntarily, and his body was a little restless… He did not move according to his will. Jade lifted her long leg and pressed it on his body as she said, “Don’t move around!”
“I…”
“Don’t indulge in a flight of fancy either!”
“I wasn’t thinking of you.”
Jade rolled her eyes. “Who were you thinking of then? You have so many women. Could you think of all of them at once? I wonder how you still can love anyone when you love someone deeply? Therefore, can I interpret that you actually don’t love any of the women around you, but you just love their bodies?”
Alex couldn’t answer her question.
Who did he love the most?
It was undoubtedly Dorothy. However, his experience with Dorothy was rather indescribable because Claire’s constant interference made him lose interest. Cheryl and Daya stepped in at that time. Regardless of the reason and the true colors of a man, or he tried to escape that tiring marriage at that time, he did not refuse them…
After that, the situation got slightly out of hand.
“Sigh. Love begins for no reason. Perhaps I really don’t understand love.”
“However, I have to shoulder my responsibilities. Since they have given their hearts to me, I can’t bear to trample on them…”
“How about you? Do you understand love?”
Jade smiled with eloquent misery. “I thought I understood it, but in fact, I don’t understand it at all.”
Alex said, “Tell me the story between you and Principal Lawlor.”
“I don’t feel happy talking about it.”
“We are doing nothing anyway. If you keep repressing the feelings in your heart, they will soon become a tight knot.”
“You are nosy. l have figured it out, and there is no longer a knot in my heart. I couldn’t change, and he couldn’t change me either. Someone like me is unsuitable for falling in love. Whoever falls in love with me will be exhausted.”
Alex nodded. “That’s true. Heroes have been lonely since antiquity, let alone a national-level superheroine.”
The astral wind outside became increasingly intense. Jade pressed her hand against the stone wall. Then, she suddenly noticed that the stone wall was shattering and becoming soft, followed by a rush of energy into her body.
“Am I… Eating stones?”
“The stones here contain energy too? What are these stones?”
Five minutes later, Jade took a deep breath. “I’m fine again! Let’s kill them!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2923
Jeremy was angry to see only a few minions remaining on his side. It was almost impossible if he wanted to capture the two people alive. Then, he had no other option but to kill them!
“I’m your opponent.” Jade soared into the sky, glittering brightly with golden light all over her body, blinding everyone. Clear totems also abruptly appeared on the Martello Celia.
Her power was different after activating the bloodline. This blow ended up with both parties on almost an equal footing.
Jeremy was stunned.
He had exchanged blows with Jade several times. At first, he seemed to be playing cat and mouse with her, but later, her combat power got stronger with each blow. The astounding rate of improvements was simply unimaginable.
‘Is this woman a freak?’
At this point, it was a fight to the death.
“Woman, I was going to spare your life, but now, I have changed my mind!”
Jeremy’s gaze became extremely serious as he treated Jade as an opponent of the same level.
However, Jade knew her condition, exhausted again, she had to replenish her energy before she could fight. Two strange vertexes subsequently appeared beneath the soles of her feet, absorbing the energy of underground rocks desperately.
The sensation was bizarre.
It indicated how extraordinary the rocks in this expanse of land were. To the Titan Tribe, the energy contained here was surprisingly greater than the spiritual stones.
“Huh?”
“You can actually absorb underground energy? What kind of freak are you?”
Jeremy’s eyes glowed with a strange light as he was truly conflicted. He had a decent research subject, but unfortunately, he could not use her.
In that case…
“Go to hell!”
“The Returning World Slash!”
He condensed the hundred flying swords into one.
A hundred feet disc spun rhythmically in the void of mysterious runes. That sword stirred up the world and constantly changed before it rushed straight into the sky.
Buzz!
The environment changed and the void shattered.
Alex rushed forward as he shouted, “Block it together!”
“True Martial Tyrant Sword!”
“Second form, Star-killing Slash!”
Jade also swung the Martello Celia.
“Divine Heaven-Splitting Hammer, smash the sky with one blow!”
They unleashed critical blows from the two supreme weapons at the same time.
Boom!
An expanse of white light came into sight, the space collapsed, and their voices diminished.
Alex and Jade simultaneously spat a mouthful of blood and stepped back consecutively. Meanwhile, a hundred swords that had unified in Jeremy’s hand scattered from the slash. Most of them shattered from the impact this time, while damage of varying degrees appeared on the remaining swords.
“Go!” shouted Alex. He then pulled Jade and escaped quickly, disappearing into the astral wind.
Jeremy did not give chase. Instead, he slowly squatted and spat a mouthful of blood.
Even he, a half-stepped Incarnate Deity, could be injured.
***
Jade was severely injured.
The direct target of Jeremy’s Returning World Slash, she could not withstand it with the Titan Tribe’s body, causing the bloodline’s activation state to disappear. Carrying her in his arms, Alex quickly returned to the crater earlier.
“Jeremy Trippier s cultivation level has far surpassed ours. The laws of his swords are too powerful.” Alex could relate to her.
While healing her injuries with divine power, he said, “The sneak attack this time was fruitful. We shouldn’t fight again for the time being.”
Jade nodded and took a deep breath. “I’ll give him a hard time when there’s a chance.”
As soon as the astral wind stopped, Alex carried Jade on his back and set off. The field of vision was limited in this place, so he was unable to distinguish directions.
It was unknown how long he walked, but the scene before his eyes suddenly cleared up. The mist-like fog no longer blocked his vision, but what came into sight was an expanse of lush greenery. Surprisingly, a bamboo forest appeared.
There was a quaint house in the bamboo forest!
“This place is…?”
They both looked solemn. How could someone live in such a place?
Just then, a voice could be heard. “Hahaha! Strangers actually barged into the Demon Cleansing Tower? What rare guests! Why are you standing in front of the entrance? Hurry and come in!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2924
This voice belonged to a woman. It was soft, coquettish, and a little enchanting!
Alex, who was carrying Jade on his back, looked back and locked eyes with her. Each other’s eyes were filled with caution… They did not even know that this place, the Demon Cleansing Tower, was specifically used to destroy demonic gods.
“What should we do? Should we go in?”
“I’m sensing sinister Chi. She is probably doesn’t have good intentions. Be careful.”
They both leaned close to each other and communicated with divine sense.
To their surprise, the opponent could seemingly hear their conversation via divine sense. The voice said, “You don’t have to be so cautious. My little sister and I are neither good nor bad people. Besides, we are barely managing to survive. How can we still possess the ability to hurt anyone?”
Alex and Jade were stunned. At this rate, they did not know if they should communicate with each other via divine sense.
Jade said, “Put me down. I’m better now… We don’t know what this place is. Instead of running around like a headless chicken, why don’t we ask the owner here?”
In fact, Alex had the same idea.
Presently, Alex carefully put Jade down and helped her to walk forward.
Rainbow energy was overflowing, and the power of laws was fluctuating in the bamboo forest. Only then did Alex notice that lush bamboo forest before his eyes was extremely unusual. The bamboo seemed to be the Divine Bamboo of Penta-lightning that could ward off evil according to legends.
In other words, it was unnatural that the gray mist couldn’t be seen in this spotless-looking area. Instead, the bamboo forest had forcibly driven that mist out.
Creak!
There was a soft sound. The fence gate in front of the bamboo house opened automatically.
The woman inside said with a smile, “Dear honored guests, we sisters are unable to move freely, so we can’t go out and welcome you. You two, please come in on your own.”
Alex pulled Jade and stepped into the door of the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, the scene before their eyes changed. It was still daytime, but it had suddenly turned into night with stars all over the sky. Since their location shifted, they did not know where they were, and the bamboo house in front of them just now had also disappeared.
Jade, unable to understand the spell formation, instantly tensed up and stuck with Alex. She was ready for any unexpected situation at any time and reminded Alex to be careful.
“Hmm… Microcosmic Formation? Is this a test for me?” asked Alex. His lips curled into a sneer.
The woman inside said, “Mister, I can tell that you are an expert in spell formations since you can call out its name in this house. I don’t intend to give you a hard time, but this formation exists naturally. If you can’t break it, you will have no luck with us, sisters. Mister, I think you are the right person!”
Jade blinked and whispered, “Looks like you have luck with ladies again.”
Alex shook his head. He had both the divine and primordial eyes, and he could see some clues after activating them.
He secretly wrote on Jade’s palm with his finger, ‘The people inside aren’t humans’.
Jade understood him. Her palm seemed to itch slightly, so she scratched and squeezed it hard. She then wrote on Alex’s palm, ‘Leave right away if you notice something off.’
Alex nodded.
He then pointed at his forehead, and the sword heart in his eyes easily sank before breaking the Microcosmic Formation easily. After that, he took Jade and skillfully passed through the spell formation in the courtyard of the bamboo house and stepped into the house.
As soon as they entered the bamboo house, a fragrance greeted their noses. Surprisingly, they felt a refreshing sensation. At the same time, the sinister Chi also became more and more realistic. And, a woman in white was sitting in front of a table in the bamboo house.
She had beautiful black hair, a pretty face, thin eyebrows, and eyes that turned like autumn waves.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2925
She was well-endowed, had a slim waist, a large butt, and slender legs. She looked drop-dead gorgeous, like a pear blossom bathing in the rain.
Not only did Alex’s eyes gleam upon meeting her, but even Jade exclaimed, “How beautiful!”
“A charm spell?”
The holy energy of the golden lake inside Alex’s body shook, and divine power coursed throughout his body. Buddhist songs also vibrated faintly before be instantly restored mental clarity.
“How bold!”
He shouted and crushed the woman in front of him with tremendous mental coercion. Some divine power had also transformed into Buddhist songs and exploded with rumble.
Jade instantly came to her senses and broke out in a cold sweat.
In fact, she was a member of the Titan Tribe with an awakened bloodline. Her first awakening was on the mental level. Logically, she should have long been able to escape such a charm spell. After all, she was still a woman. Even so, the woman before her was truly beautiful, so much so she didn’t look like a real person.
“Who the hell are you? Believe it or not, I will annihilate you right away.”
Alex glared at the woman, and his voice sounded like thunder. The house buzzed from the shock, but it was clearly unique- the power of laws inside was stronger.
Alex’s sonic attack still couldn’t inflict damage to the house.
The woman was not affected in the slightest. Instead, she stood up gracefully and said, “Mister, you really are a gifted talent. You actually know the true mystic art and divine power of Western Buddhism. I wonder what level your foundation is.”
Alex pursed his lips. “Why should I tell you? I’d like to ask you. Who are you?”
The woman’s red lips parted. “My name is Andariel.”
“Andariel… What? What did you say? You are An… Andariel?” Alex just repeated the name at first before he suddenly realized it. ‘Is… She the legendary concubine of Emperor Zeke?’
The woman smiled faintly. “You seemed to have heard of my name before. It looks like my legend still circulates in the current world. How… Ridiculous.”
Jade was also slightly shocked. “Are you really Andariel? Are you really Andariel or that nine-tailed fox?”
The woman said, “I am a nine- tailed fox, one of the three demons in Xavion Tomb.”
Alex exclaimed, “So you’re that nine-tailed fox that scourged the Middle Bronze Age!”
“Hmph!”
Andariel snorted coldly.
“Uhm!” Alex noticed that he had misspoken. Indeed, it was insulting to say those words to her in person. More importantly, this place was her territory. Now that they were surrounded with perils, it was inappropriate to make enemies. “Oh, sorry. I’ve been influenced by too many TV series and movies about you out there.”
Andariel asked, “What are TV series and movies?”
Alex explained for a long while before she could understand what TV series and movies were. Then, her eyes were bloodshot. “Hmph! Those Illuminati bast*rds are really ill-willed. As the saying goes, ‘To the victor belongs the spoils’. They must have bad mouthed me.”
The momentary release of her aura shocked Alex.
“Ahem. Miss Andariel. May I ask what this place is?” asked Alex.
“What is this place? Don’t you know? How did you guys even come in?” Andariel was puzzled.
“We… Inexplicably opened a portal. Then, we just came in.”
Alex’s answer made Andariel speechless.
She said, “This place is the Demon Cleansing Tower. Some people also call it the Demon Slaying Tower. It is used specifically to exterminate demons! One can enter this place, but there is no way out! You both are truly asking for it. You could’ve gone somewhere else, but you insisted on coming to this kind of place to court death! Jeez!”
As soon as Alex and Jade heard that, their hearts sank.
“Is it true that there is only a way in and no way out?”
“There is none! If there was a way out, would I have been imprisoned here for so many years?”
Alex digested the information for a while before he calmed down. On the contrary, Jade was slightly indifferent.
She asked Andariel, “I have long heard that you, Andariel, was executed in the Fuzen War, and your soul was sent back to the Six Eternities by Gaea for recultivation. So how did you appear here?”
After hearing those words, Andariel flew into a rage and said sternly, “Gaea is a liar. She lied to me. I’m so miserable because of her lies. I’m unconvinced! I’m unconvinced…”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2926
Seeing how overwhelmed she was, Jade and Alex became nervous. They quickly got up to their feet and stepped back. They even took out their supreme Chi weapons, ready to fight any time.
After a few loud roars, Andariel calmed down again. A charming smile resurfaced on her stunning face…
Alex had heard the story of how this woman’s beauty had won over the country and the king. He’d thought that the legend was an exaggeration, thinking her looks would actually just be average.
However, looking at her smile in person now, it was extremely charming even without seductive means.
“I’m sorry that you had to see that!” Andariel said. “It’s just that I get a bit overwhelmed when I talk about the past.”
Only then did Alex and Jade put away their weapons. Jade asked, “Does Gaea… Truly exist?”
Gaea was just a mythical god that had no connections to their lives to modern society.
Andariel was shocked. “Why? Don’t you know her?”
Alex said, “We’ve only heard legendary myths that are ancient. It’s debatable whether she’s a true person. We’ve never seen her before.”
“You’ve never seen Gaea before? That’s impossible. She started The Fuzen war and even caused Bodhisattva’s death. She should have regained her position as the ruler of all demons. How could there be no signs of her in this world? She couldn’t have given up the authorities she fought so hard to catch!”
Andariel babbled on her own before noticing how dumbfounded Alex and Jade looked. They looked like they hadn’t understood a single word.
Thus, she took a deep breath and said, “What about the Ancient Divinity then? And the Cielo God? Where are Moshuar and Taikoubu? You should know them, right? Has the Illuminati dominated the world?”
Alex and Jade exchanged looks, both stunned.
“Could the Investiture of Gods actually be real?” Alex asked.
“The Fuzen Tower emerged first on Terra Mountain, then Andariel appeared as well. Come to think of it, those should all be real, right?!”
Jade nodded in understanding as she continued. “It’s just that I don’t understand why the time and occasion don’t match up.”
It’s a well-known fact that the ancient period had ended three thousand years ago. Moreover, The Fuzen war happened during the end of the Middle Bronze Age, when Emperor Zeke led the country. That was almost three thousand years ago as well.
That was also the time when the Undead clan attacked the universe and all the gods and supremes came together to defend it. The main teachings that had remained from those times had mostly come from Stoermer sect and the League of Cultivators.
Both parties were from Grand Emperor Rowan’s era, yet there hadn’t been any signs of all those things and people that Andariel had just mentioned. If they’d existed and fought in the past, it would’ve been written down in history. However, there was no evidence of it.
“Have you heard of the Stoermer sect and Grand Emperor Rowan?” Alex asked.
“What’s Stoermer sect? Who’s Grand Emperor Rowan?” Andariel shook her head. She hadn’t heard about them before.
Jade went on asking, “Have you heard of the Undead clan before? They should’ve taken over half of the universe during your time since they have affected so many people.”
To their surprise, Andariel had never heard of the Undead clan either.
Alex asked, “How long have you been locked in this tower?”
Andariel stretched out her dainty fingers and counted. “About thirteen thousand years.”
“What? Thirteen thousand years? Why is there an additional ten thousand years?” Both of them were taken aback.
Andariel was also confused about the whole situation.
Just then, Shelly spoke up via telepathy in Alex’s mind palace. “She didn’t remember wrong. It has indeed been thirteen thousand years since the ancient Fuzen war.”
Alex was confused. “But the war happened at the end of Middle Bronze Age, that’s only about three thousand years from now.”
Shelly snorted. “Do you seriously think the war happened three thousand years ago?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2927
“Did it not?”
“No! There’s just a missing gap in the history of your civilization.”
“What do you mean?”
Shelly replied, “I mean some supernatural power had controlled the time of the world that you lived in, rewound through some ways. If I’m guessing correctly, during the ancient era, Grand Emperor Rowan rewound the civilization of the Wasteland ten thousand years using the Six Eternities.”
“Back ten thousand years? Then we used merely three thousand years to get to where we are today… ”
Alex still found Shelly’s answer unbelievable.
‘If time and civilization could be backtracked, then what happened to the people during those times?’
‘Did Grand Emperor Rowan also exist ten thousand years ago?’
Shelly’s answer rejected that assumption. Even the Six Eternities can’t bring everyone back ten thousand years. Only the time and laws were rewound… The reason why Grand Emperor Rowan did such a thing was to recover the spiritual energy.
“As a result, the universe sacrificed greatly.”
“Within these three thousand years, the path of gods has declined, and divinity has waned. It was all for the better of the Wasteland s. This is the exact place where the Fuzen war took place.”
Alex asked, “Then where did the people who fought in the war go? Gaea, Moshuar, the Ancient Divinity… If these people still existed, they should be able to defeat the Undead clan, right?”
Shelly shook her head. “I don’t know about that.”
After a while, a seductive lady walked out enticingly from the bamboo house. She was wrapped in light green silk around her busty chest, and her tiny waist twisted around charmingly. Her curvy body ended with a perky butt that swayed gently. Her allure was simply indescribable.
A beauty like her would definitely be very successful in the entertainment industry.
Alex’s eyes stared straight at her without blinking. He almost had the urge to ask for her signature, as if she were a real celebrity.
“Hey, wipe that drool off! Don’t embarrass me!” Jade scorned as she stomped on Alex’s foot.
The lady came forward and looked at Alex and Jade. She bowed and said, “I’m Cydaea, it’s nice to meet the both of you.”
‘Cydaea?’
Alex looked at her for a good while until he finally got it. She was the jade lute fairy, one of the three demons of Xavion Tomb.
The two exchanged looks. Cydaea then said, “The both of us have been trapped here forever, and we can’t leave. We don’t have anything to offer you as our guests. How about I play the lute for you?”
Andariel stood up as well. “Then let me accompany my sister by dancing!”
The two stood up. At the sight of the two beauties that could charm the whole nation, Alex’s heart sped up. Such a performance used to be exclusive to Emperor Zeke, but now he could witness it with his own eyes. He wouldn’t miss such a chance. Even Jade looked excited.
Tring… Trang…
The lute emitted a sound.
Cydaea’s fingers strummed gently, her eyes looking as if they were made of water as they turned soft with emotion. At the same time, Andariel’s dance was just as mesmerizing.
Her white blouse floated gently as she spun around, and her sleeves danced along to her steps. She twirled around Alex and Jade, dancing and vaguely displaying her charming curves from the clothes that hugged her body.
Alex was fully immersed in the performance. Jade’s eyes turned hollow and her face turned pink like sakura.
This continued until…
Thud, thud!
The two fell to the ground together, unconscious.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2929
At the very same time, Andariel was rejected by Alex’s body, and she tumbled to the ground. Her clothes were torn, and she looked absolutely petrified. There was a long and deep wound on her shoulder.
A sword prodded out from Alex’s shirt and floated up mid-air, emitting a deadly aura.
This sword was the Xavion Sword.
The two demons trembled in fear as they saw the emperor’s sword. They couldn’t believe their eyes. Cydaea quickly came out from Jade’s body and knelt down with Andariel.
Andariel and Cydaea were two of the three demons from Xavion Tomb. Although it was supposedly the tomb of Emperor Xavion, the truth was that the emperor hadn’t died. His actual body had evolved into a saint, and the buried one was actually the sword.
The three demons’ relationship with Xavion Sword was closely knitted. No one knew that these demons were the slaves of this very sword.
Huff…
Alex let out a breath as he woke up.
He’d been hypnotized by Andariel and Cydaea’s seductive spell, immersed in a pleasant fantasy. He felt like he had a long, long dream.
There was a large tomb with a sword in it in the dream. Three stunning ladies were accompanying that sword. That was exactly the Xavion Sword’s past.
Just now, the sword had recognized Andariel and Cydaea while defending its owner, which was why such a memory entered Alex’s mind.
“Such an impressive spell!”
Alex stood up and looked at Andariel and Cydaea, who were on their knees. His eyes were so cold and cruel that they looked like they could kill. He couldn’t believe that he had fallen for their tricks. If it weren’t for the Xavion Sword, something bad might’ve happened to him.
Alex awakened his mental world and enveloped Jade in it to wake her from the illusion.
As Jade woke up, she patted her chest. “That was so beautiful! I was completely mesmerized.”
Alex was speechless at how Jade was still totally entranced in the demons’ seduction.
“Huh? Alex, what’s that on your face and lips? Why is it wet? Did you drool?” She suddenly noticed Alex’s face.
“It is saliva, but it’s not mine.”
“Whose could it be then? Mine?”
“Yeah, it’s yours… How discourteous, grabbing every chance you have to harass your disciple. Fine, I’m tired of fighting back anyways. Come on. I’m all yours. ”
Thus, Jade gave him a taste of her knuckles. She then pointed to the two kneeling demons, “What’s up with them? Why are they bowing down to you?”
Alex pointed to the Xavion Sword. “They’re bowing to that.”
However, Alex was the Xavion Sword’s owner now, which meant he was master of the three demons of Xavion Tomb. His status was even greater than the sword. As Alex held up the sword, Andariel and Cydaea fell even further down with their whole body flat to the ground.
“Swordmaster, we didn’t know it was you. We didn’t mean to hurt you just now. Please forgive us.”
“Yes, master. We hat on purpose. If you’re unhappy, you can order us to do anything you like.”
Looking at the scared and sincere gazes of the two girls, Alex said, “Really? Anything I like? Does that include special services?”
Cydaea nodded. She was about to answer him when Jade pinched Alex’s ears. “You’re still thinking about that kind of service?! You really do know how to have a good time, huh? Why don’t I help you with it?”
“If you’re willing, I’ll definitely raise both my hands up in disagreement! You’re the master and I’m the disciple. I should be the one to serve you!”
Alex and Jade’s interaction lightened up the mood. He then told Jade what Andariel and Cydaea had tried to do just now.
Jade frowned at the both of them. “Since you hadn’t meant it, and you’re an old friend, how about you make it up to us by helping us navigate this place? We’re not familiar with this tower. You both take the lead and help us find a way out.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2930
Andariel and Cydaea were both trapped in the Demon Cleansing Tower. If it weren’t for his bamboo forest, they would’ve been dead long ago. If they left this forest, their bodies and souls would be shredded by the tower’s frequent gusts of astral wind, which were as sharp as a knife.
Hence, that was exactly why they wanted to take over Alex and Jade’s bodies just now in order to fight the astral wind. Yet, the circumstances were different now with the appearance of the Xavion Sword. As slaves to the sword, they could both hide within it.
However…
“Swordmaster, we demons can only enter this tower, we can’t leave it. But as the saying goes, heaven never bars one’s way. You’re a human, so you naturally do not practice the ways of demons.”
“Since this tower was created by God and followed the Path of God, there is a safe trail for humans to follow, but… We have no idea where it is.”
“We’d thought that you’d opened the entrance by yourself just now, and that you’d have the Ancient Divinity’s permit with you and know where the trail is.”
“But it seems like Andariel had underestimated the power of your formation. To think that it could create an entrance by force without the help of the permit!”
“But it seems like Andariel had underestimated the power of your formation. To think that it could create an entrance by force without the help of the permit!”
“Swordmaster, you’re the best at formations in this world.” Andariel took the chance to compliment Alex.
Alex shook his head gently. “You really flatter me. The level of my formations is nothing compared to the real experts. Besides, I was taught by others too.”
Jade said, “So what you’re saying is, you guys don’t know the way out either.”
Cydaea answered, “That’s correct.”
Things were rather difficult now.
Alex frowned. He might as well be a blind man in this tower. He had no idea where the formation of this tower and where its core were. He’d just stumbled his way here by luck, and he couldn’t even recognize his directions.
However, he had an advantage, which was the Ancestral Bodhi Tree.
The Ancestral Bodhi Tree could break through spaces, allowing them to teleport instantly to another place. With the sudden idea in mind, he immediately asked Ancestor Bodhi, who was in his mind palace, about it.
Fortunately, Alex’s mind palace wasn’t blocked out by the laws of this place…
Nonetheless, the mind palace belonged to the spiritual part of a person. It communicated directly with a person’s soul and mind. Tougher circumstances wouldn’t block it out either, as no human would be able to survive without it if that were to happen.
The mind palace was the core of a human.
Losing one’s mind palace was worse than losing the heart or brain, and it would only result in one thing, instant death.
To Alex’s surprise, Ancestor Bodhi shook his head and said, “I’ve heard about the Demon Cleansing Tower before. It used to be one of the seven gourds of innate gourd vine. It was the red gourd, then refined into a Demon Vase.”
“But it was destroyed afterward. Rumors said that it’d been split into half by Thor. Nonetheless, it was still an innate treasure. Even if it had been shattered, it was still rare. So, the Ancient Divinity took over and refined it into the Demon Cleansing Tower.”
Alex hadn’t thought that Ancestor Bodhi would know such a story.
‘The seven gourds on the innate gourd vine… Isn’t that like the gourd brothers in the show, Little Brother?’
Needless to say, these seven gourds were far more powerful than the gourd brothers.
Ancestor Bodhi said, “Within the red gourd, another space that can kill demons is formed individually. Even the Ancestral Bodhi Tree can’t penetrate the innate walls of this space… Unless you find the Heaven’s Mark of the tower. ”
“What is the Heaven’s Mark?”
“It is the scar left by Thor’s ax.”
Alex understood what Ancestor Bodhi meant now.
