‘The Soul Substitute Lotus Seed is a consumable item after all. It will be reduced per usage. Fundamentally, it’s not a long-term solution.’
‘Can it be replenished in the Pool of Afterlife of the Underworld?’
The Underworld had gone to the nether realm along with Revealer Maha and Alex was unsure if his mother’s problem could be cured in the same way as Anna. Anna’s soul was broken, but its origins were still there, whereas his mother’s soul had permanently disappeared.
Among the many patients, Mystic Maiden’s condition was the most challenging. The body of the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens was a little broken.
Alex hugged her and touched the cracks on her body that looked like dried tree bark with his fingers. “How did this happen? Your body was constructed of Chaos Beads, but you shattered so easily. Aren’t you too fragile?”
The Mystic Maiden lifted her hand and smacked him. “Shattered, my *ss! I’m still alive!”
She then continued, “I forcefully used the forbidden spell. This isn’t my body, after all… Forget it. I have to return to your body. Moreover, I can no longer casually condense my physical body again this time, so I’ll have to find it no matter what!”
Alex nodded. “I will dig out your coffin when I explore the Undead Territory again.”
Mystic Maiden replied, “But, you have to work your growth really hard. Otherwise, you won’t be able to hold my physical body. ”
“What? Is your physical body… Very heavy?”
“You will know when the time comes.”
The cracks on the Mystic Maiden kept increasing. Alex hadn’t noticed that the Mystic Maiden had been struggling to hold on. However, she felt that there was no longer a need because enduring seemed futile. “Be careful with the people from Rakshasa Temple. They possess supreme demonic weapons. I was injured by one, lest I wouldn’t have been broken like this. Alright. I’m leaving.”
The physical body she had worked hard for so long was ruined in the end. Her soul returned to Alex’s mind palace.
Meanwhile, those eight Chaos Beads were hung on the Chaos Tree again.
‘Rakshasa Temple!’
Alex’s eyes turned and emanated murderous intent. Compared to the Returning Sword Sect, Rakshasa Temple was the first force he wanted to destroy.
“Alex!”
At that moment, Jade came over and pulled him away.
“Huh..?”
“Do you not believe me? Fine. Let’s go and have a look.”
Presently, more than a hundred Sword Immortals with overwhelming aura were on a large ancient airship in the sky above Rockefeller Manor.
The people in a large area below ran out like a tidal wave, fearing that they would be implicated in trouble.
Who had ever seen such a line-up?
Depression, dreariness, and the prelude to a storm had evidently left the entire world in destitute.
Just then, a man and woman came out of a certain alley in front of Rockefeller Manor. The man was tall and handsome, while the woman, beautiful and elegant. They stood on the lawn in front of the entrance like a match made in heaven.
They were Alex and Jade.
Looking up at the Returning Sword Sect’s airship, Alex said directly, “Did you guys come to the wrong place? Thousand Miles Conglomerate is in the West. Go kneel before the entrance over there. Are you coming here to court death?”
