Through his internal vision, Alex could hear sounds of waves coming miraculously from within his body. The three thousand golden cores were almost fulfilled too.

“That’s weird. Why have things been so peaceful?”
“It is a little bit weird. The destruction of the Starbound bead alone should’ve caused havoc. Could something else have happened?”
Ancestor Bodhi and Shelly looked at Alex as they whispered. Things had gone out of their expectations. The Blue Demonic Lotus’ resistance was too gentle, but Alex still awakened surprisingly.
“Alex, you… You’re actually alive? What a miracle!”
Ancestor Bodhi held onto Alex’s hand and glanced around curiously like a fool.
Alex’s expression changed. “What do you mean? Is refining the Blue Demonic Lotus a dangerous process?”
Shelly butted in. “What dangers are there? Any normal kid could’ve done it, but to think that you’ve used so many days… You sure are untalented. Don’t go around boasting every day and picking up girls! You should work harder.”
Ancestor Bodhi opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but no words came out in the end.
‘This fellow here is so powerful that he just refined the Blue Demonic Lotus! Yet you’re describing him with such words? Do you have any conscience?’
“That’s it then!”
“Since we can conjure the tribulation cloud now, let’s hurry and remove those old guys outside. They are so annoying!” Shelly said nonchalantly.
However, when Alex left, she immediately jumped and spun around excitedly. She then touched her own face and said, “Bodhi, Bodhi. Is this true? Is this really true?”
“Looks like it.”
“That really is weird. The reaction’s too small. Could it be that the lotus has been in the demon realm for too long, and its energy has greatly lessened?”

“Everyone, try harder! When we’ve opened the Troop Raising Pond, you guys can pick any weapons you like!”
“Thank you, ancestor, thank you, senior!”
Amid the celebratory yells, they suddenly felt that something was wrong. They raised their heads and found that the skies had darkened.
A gigantic sea of black clouds covered them. There were several layers of clouds that now hid the blue sky completely. There were even rare lightning patterns on the clouds.
“F*ck!”
“Who is it? Who’s tribulation is this?”
“Damn it, we were just about to succeed! If this tribulation arrives, won‘t we… Be dragged into it?”
As they spoke, Alex walked out of the Cleansing Vase and smiled. “Thanks, everyone, for your love and accompanying me through this tribulation!”
