“That little brat. Just because you made a little progress in cultivation earlier than others, you think you can be arrogant and disrespectful?” Alex cursed out and took to the air, quickly going after Achlys. He followed him into a mountain, his frown deepening by the second. “Hey, Achlys. I can't feel even an ounce of energy in this area, this part is basically a barren wasteland as if it was once ravaged by something, making it different from the surrounding mountains.”“Exactly, you're not totally blind after all. Why do you think this particular area is barren despite having a water body close by? The mountains and forests around it is thick with plants, herbs and even animals rich in life energy. But the one in the middle which was supposed the be the richest looks like a wasteland, what do you think the reason could be?” Achlys asked, looking smugly at him. “Achlys, this is earth and we have advanced weapons and nuclear technology. If a nuclear or atomic missile dropped here

Alex quickly got down on his knees to examine him and frowned. “The wine's energy was too potent and knocked him out in one strike. He needs to circulate and refine the energy in his body.” He whispered and sat Achlys up. He made him sit cross legged and placed a palm on his back to circulate the energy. Once Achlys began to circulate it on his own, he let go and scooped up some of the wine. Once he was done drinking the two gourds, he quickly sat cross legged and began to cultivate madly. After an hour, he opened his eyes to see Achlys trying to take more wine. “Stop it! I need to leave. I will store some of the wine. You can have it once we stop at Food Haven, don't delay me!” Alex shouted, startling him. Alex suddenly frowned as he examined himself. All his old wounds were gone and his skin had become even more rosy than before. The strange sense of fatigue and irritation he had been feeling disappeared like it had never been there in the first place, making his eyes shine with

Alex looked at Ariel and shook his head. “You already know the answer. Aridan had to abort the realm of time mission, making him unable to find the complete map.” “Then, why did you give her false hope? If the situation worsens after you ignited her hope, it's gonna hurt even more. She's now expecting a healthy daughter in a while, but you and I know how tricky the ice jade physique is. She's gonna lose trust in you, hate you even. Dad, are you sure you're on the right track?” Ariel whispered in exasperation and ran his fingers through his hair. “Even if there's no permanent solution in sight, there's a way to seal it off for a while, to accord us the time we need to search through the indicated places.” Alex whispered, holding his hand. Ariel quickly withdrew his hand from Alex's, obviously disagreeing with him. “And then, what? If you fail, how are you going to explain it to mother? It's better to be honest and let her know the real situation of things. She of all people deserv

The tornado quickly formed a whirlpool above them, sucking the weaker ones in. Alex had successfully set up the attack during the time his soul projection was talking to them. The evil cultivators were immediately confused and they began to fight the whirlpool. Before they could come up with a way to break it, the whirlpool disappeared without warning and darkness immediately filled the enclosure. The darkness was particularly thick at the other end, opposite the evil cultivators, making everyone confused. Why was the darkness coming from the other end when the whirlpool was above the offenders? “Uh? What's going on? Why did everything turn dark?” Someone asked, voicing the thoughts in the mind of everyone. Soon, the darkness began to disperse. “Something is moving in the darkness.” Someone shouted, making everyone's attention to turn in that direction. A man in all black was walking out of the darkness, looking like the lord of hell himself. His face was masked like the rest, bu

Alex reappeared in the sitting room of one of his properties which was close to the battlefield. He quickly sat cross legged to stabilize his cultivation, churning his energy as fast as possible. He spat out blood at that moment and wheezed. Truly, he was exhausted to his bones. Having to put up such a mighty show despite the fact that he had burned lots of energy prior took a toll on him. He had just returned from the mysterious cave where he burnt lots of energy to eliminate the traps. Even though the medicinal wine helped his recovery, the fact that had drained his reserves could not be overlooked. Besides, he just took a little quantity of the wine because he was in a hurry. Only to lose even more energy because of the twins, and now meet the batch of evil dogs from the Baltimore family. Any other person not Alex would have collapsed under the strain, but he held on, diligently discharging his duties. If not because of the numerous tricks he used, in addition to his team's flawle
