The Pinnacle of Life novel Chapter 1612

As Maiko continued the search for the hidden room, Alex and Luna sat at a bench and made some tea for themselves, enjoying the drink as they chatted.

Luna said, “Remember what Herschel and Dominique said? Herschel said that he only achieved Nascent Soul after obtaining the secret of Spiritual Valley Dungeon. It would seem that some old spirit managed to steal from Herschel when he was in this very valley.”

Alex replied. “So you’re saying the valley isn’t safe and that something in there could pose a bigger danger to us?”

“Yep. If Herschel is on Nascent Soul, that old spirit must be of a higher rank. Good thing he must be a remnant soul. His spirit’s most likely been heavily damaged before, something that’s to your advantage.”

“No wonder he was that powerful. I thought all Nascent Soul cultivators are that powerful!”

Luna had a scornful expression, gawking at Alex as if she was looking at a complete fool. “How powerful do you think Nascent Souls are? A little more than you, a Core Formation cultivator, perhaps? I’d let you know that you are so wrong! True Nascent Souls are stronger than him!”

“No way?”

“The powerful ones are tens or hundreds of times stronger than Herschel.”

“Holy s… Then wouldn’t one Nascent Soul be able to kill all of us with just their power alone? That’s way too shocking, you’ve got guts.”

‘If Herschel could beat you to death, wouldn’t that mean you have a death wish for trying to kill a Nascent Soul?’

Luna said, “You can’t say that. Even if it were to be a normal Nascent Soul, we both can still put up a battle. Besides, the two mystical tools on Herschel went beyond my expectations.”

Alex nodded. “I noticed that a while ago too. That guy’s defense mystical tool is way too powerful. We couldn’t even land one hit on him. It’s more powerful than my Mystic Armor! Oh right, where are those mystical tools now?”

Thud!

Luna took out a bag the size of a wallet, her beautiful, star-like eyes fixated on Alex’s expression.

“This… This is…”

Alex was shocked, reminded of the legendary tool.

‘A storage purse!’

“Do you know what this is?” Luna asked.

Alex nodded.

Luna then said, “Hmm, I don’t have a storage purse either, but since you’re such a good boy, it’s yours now!”

“Thank you, your grace.”

Alex took the purse, thinking, ‘This was well too worth it! I don’t mind calling her a queen as long as I get to have this treasure. This thing is absolutely priceless, a must for traveling too.’

Luna didn’t have one, yet she was willing to give it to Alex just like that, which was very generous of her.

Alex then inserted his spiritual conscience into the area within the storage purse and realized that it was around ten cubic inches, a rather large space considering it was just a purse. Most were just a few cubic inches after all.

If one only had one cubic inch, the owner could only store some important personal items. Surprisingly, a sword and a worn-out talisman were inside.

The sword was the Soul Harvesting Sword. The worn-out talisman, however, was an unknown item.

‘Could this be the reason why Herschel had such a strong defense?’

Just then, Maiko came back to him. “Master, I found the hidden room!”
