Whoosh!
Alex took the lead and crossed the portal. Dairaionji Temple’s teleportation portal seemed to be slower than others.
It took a full minute. When Alex saw the scenery in front of him, he noticed that he was still inside the previous Hell Tower. The interior was the same as before, and the damage after the great battle was totally unchanged. Then, Empress Ghast appeared.
The empress flashed Alex a dirty look probably because he had just seen the secret of her body… However, Alex did not care about it. The physical body was his. Even if he did not look at it, he could still feel its presence. Moreover, it would take three months. Could she keep an eye on him every day?
“The Hell Tower is in such a broken state. Can it be repaired?”
“It has a self-repair function, but it will take a lot of time.” Empress Ghast said indifferently. It seemed that she was not particularly concerned about this.
“I had long known something was wrong with the previous monk, but I didn’t expect the evil Buddha of Dairaionji Temple would create so much trouble. More importantly, he was an irnpostor and didn’t even control Dairaionji Temple. Why did he want to expand the territory so impatiently?”
“The fake Buddha and even the previous evil Bodhi seem to be someone else’s pawns.”
Half a day later, both Empress Ghast and Alex returned to Ghast City in the nether realm. They met with Shelly, Lucretia, Blaze, and the others here.
“Brother-in-law, you are back. How was it? Did you guys enter Dairaionji Temple through that golden passage?” Blaze asked Alex eagerly upon seeing him, but in fact, the person whose arm he was pulling was Empress Ghast.
“I am not your brother-in-law!” The empress shook his hand away and looked aloof.
“Huh…? Brother-in-law, what’s wrong with you? Did you fall out with my sister? But my sister is not here either.”
At the moment, Shelly said, “He is not Alex Rockefeller.”
There was a mysterious connection between her and Alex. She had been staying inside Alex’s mind palace, so she was naturally familiar with his mind palace. She could sense it as long as it was nearby, but now, the familiar mind palace she sensed was with Empress Ghast.
The fat peacock was concerned about Dairaionji Temple. She immediately asked about Dairaionji Temple’s situation and whether they could open up a passage to the Ancient Path.
Alex gave an affirmative answer.
“I can open up a passage to the Ancient Path after three months.”
“Why does it have to be after months?”
“Because I can only swap back to my body after three months.”

The journey of the nether realm concluded successfully. Alex left the nether realm and returned to Mount Yukon in the world of America. However, he immediately caused a huge commotion on Mount Yukon because of the swapped body…
