Alex raised an eyebrow. He definitely remembered Holly, especially since she was his godsister.
She nearly died when Sydney Yeager, the granddaughter of the Mountain Warrior elder, tried to force her spiritual root out of her body. They had to use the Natural Divine Fountain to preserve her spiritual meridians.
A while ago, Holly followed Dorothy and stayed with her eight disciples. He had also heard from Dorothy that Holly managed to grow a new spiritual root, which was even more potent than before. It was a deity-tier root. Such conditions were relatively rare, meaning that the attack she experienced was a blessing in disguise after all.
If Sydney hadn’t dug her spiritual root out, she wouldn’t have been able to grow out of this newer and stronger one. With the secondary root out of the way, the main spiritual root was able to maximize its true potential.
It was rumored that Holly’s cultivation level had improved drastically since then. Moreover, it was as if her powers and strength shot up after receiving the spiritual energy during the overflow…
“When did she even get to War Mountain?” Alex asked.
Maya said, “Two days ago. She wanted to meet that Sydney girl herself, saying she wanted to thank her. With Holly’s current cultivation level, there shouldn’t be anyone there who could beat her at this point.”
“But we just got the news that War Mountain is filled with demonic Chi as if a very powerful demonic being had been born.”
“I’ll go take a look.” Alex didn’t want to waste more time and instantly teleported away from Yukon.
In actuality, Yukon and War Mountain weren’t far from each other. By using long-distance Instant ‘I’eleportation, he could reach the mountain within seconds. From a distance, he noticed the top of the mountain was surrounded by demonic Chi, which formed bloody clouds all over the sky within the area.
“What concentrated demonic Chi!” Alex jumped just from seeing this.
The War Mountain was no longer the War Mountain it used to be, and it seemed to have expanded by quite a bit too. During the overflow, this mountain was one of the dungeons that many cultivators tried to get their hands on, after all.
Yet now, the entire mountain ended up being engulfed by such strong demonic Chi. Shelly and Ancestor Bodhi, who were in his mind palace, could somewhat sense this too.
“The Primal Old Devil is buried in the Pantheon Tomb?”
Ancestral Bodhi was slightly annoyed. “What in the world is that Pantheon Tomb anyway? I’ve never even heard of it my entire life!”
Shelly continued watching as the endless blood fog became thicker and thicker. She even noticed a shadow of a skull forming within the depths of the clouds.
“You’ll know when you see it.”
“I have a feeling that the Pantheon Tomb is hiding a big secret,” Shelly said as she sat down on Alex’s shoulder.
As a spirit, she had the ability to alter her size, so she was currently the size of a little fairy,
