‘The Soul Collection Coffin?’
Alex took quite a while to remember that he did, in fact, have such a treasure in his mind palace. It was one of the three treasures that he received from Ksitigarbha. However, that treasure seemed useless at this point. He had used it to store Anna’s body, as he hadn’t found a way to revive her yet.
Thus, he could only explain the truth to Shelly.
Shelly raised her head gently, looking towards the endless battle at the divine mountain. She then whispered, “So basically, this is a turning point in her cultivation. This is the Underworld, the best place for her to be revived. The Underworld Tomb certainly has a surplus of soul power.”
“So you’re saying the Soul Collection Coffin could help them regain their consciousness. And it could possibly revive Anna?” Alex gasped.
Shelly huffed softly, staring back at him cockily.
“That’s a precious inheritance from the Buddha. Are you underestimating it a little too much? If it can’t even restore a mortal’s soul, then how could it be the Soul Collection Coffin? Don’t worry so much!”
With Shelly’s supporting statement, Alex was confident enough to use the coffin. Hence, he immediately took it out of his mind palace.
The moment he opened the coffin, a tremendous suction-like force came from the inside, as if it were a tornado. It managed to suck out the odd energy out of everyone’s minds.
Even Alex’s mind felt clear, making him feel exceptionally relieved.
His previous condition was saved by the ax; hence his soul regained freedom from its defense mechanism. However, a small pinch of energy remained in his mind, even after that. It wasn’t entirely removed, so it naturally affected him negatively. Yet now, that energy was completely wiped out.
In just a few moments, Dorothy and the others regained their consciousness.
“What..? What happened to me just now?”
“That felt weird. It’s like I just had an odd dream. I dreamt about a big battle at the divine mountain. We were all part of it too.”
“Ah, me too. I even wanted to help that emperor. Did I really do that? But my memories feel so blurry. I’m not quite sure.”
On the other hand, countless trialists and bone demons were being summoned to the battle by force.
Slowly worn down, Maha and the arhats wouldn’t be able to hold up any longer.
“Alex, take action now! Save Revealer Maha!” Shelly spoke up immediately. “Once he’s been defeated, the emperor of the Underworld would be able to control this world. He’d be able to struggle out of his restrictions, then destroy this world. Everyone here will die!”
Alex glanced at the mountain, feeling a shiver run down his spine.
“Sis, that’s literally the same as pushing me off a cliff. You know that, right?”
“With that power, I would be getting a one-way ticket to eternal slumber before I even got near it.”
He knew himself well. This was a battle between gods, where even the smallest amount of energy from the formations could dismember him. He knew that he didn’t have what it took to contribute.
