Eustace’s goal was straightforward.
Now that Alex had snatched away Yukon and the female statue keeping an eye on him, he dared do nothing. However, he wanted to occupy the other sanctuaries and sacred mountains with the eruption of spiritual energy tide. Even someone who asked for a handout had to get his permission first.
Although every other sanctuary was no match for Yukon, they came in alarming numbers that, were definitely superior.
Snow Dragon Valley fell after only five minutes!
And the engagement?
It didn’t occur!
Those like Eustace and Nadia were at the pinnacle of their cultivation in the current America. Moreover, as the seed, he possessed so many deity-tier magical treasures that no one would pick them even if he threw them onto the ground. If he were to have done that outside, they would be objects major sects would kill to seize.
Lenneberg let out an involuntary sigh.
In those troubled times, numerous evil forces emerged in the Wasteland with the resurrection of spiritual energy. In the sky, sect master leveled bigwigs were filled with envy. All of a sudden, the Stoermer Sect had popped out of nowhere. Small sects like theirs were genuinely struggling to survive.
After another five minutes, news about Snow Dragon Valley becoming the Stoermer Sect’s vassal emerged.

Eustace’s expansion still continued.
Currently, many organizations that had occupied the land of spiritual energy tide were on pins and needles, regardless of cultivation sect or psychics. It was because they didn’t know when the Stoermer Sect would come after them. The more timid ones even abandoned their lands and fled.
At Mount Dragon-Tiger, the Flying Eagles members investigated the Stoermer Sect. They had now found out where Eustace and the others first appeared, beneath Mount Yukon.
“Did they come out of the mountain?”
“Such powerful experts couldn’t have been local cultivators. Alex is currently in Yukon. He probably knows something, but we can’t get in touch with him.”
“Don’t be discouraged,” Gilbert said. “It’s a chaotic time, and evil forces are running rampant. We, local cultivators, never had the upper hand. Our main mission is to survive the predicament, preserve our lives, and don’t make futile sacrifices. I believe that soon, there will be a light at the end of the tunnel.”
The tactician, Eleanor, asked, “Principal Henderson, could you see the fortune of that Stoermer Sect guy?”
Gilbert shook his head. “I couldn’t tell. He is beyond my ability… but I can vaguely feel that my son-in-law, Alex Rockefeller, will be the key.”

The key figure, Alex, had been busy concocting the Pill of Enlightenment for the past couple of days, completely oblivious to what was happening outside.
The Pill of Enlightenment was a ninth-grade supreme immortal pill.
Lorelei, a pill alchemist herself, didn’t believe that Alex could concoct pills at first, but now… She ingratiated herself with Alex as she knelt next to his feet while cupping his vamp, she said, “Master, teach me about pill concoctions! Teach me! I am your most loyal maid!”
