Inside each acupoint, unusual things were happening. Golden lakes, forbidden runes, Chaos Chi energy… It was like a whole new world was being formed. Until it rushed through the seventh acupoint, where the energy seemed to have dried up, the runes that gave rise to this catalyst seemed to be insufficient and everything stopped automatically.
He opened his eyes and saw Frostine Usoro’s concerned look.
“Senior…”
“Junior, you’re awake. How are you feeling? Has your cultivation strengthened?” Frostine asked in concern the moment their eyes met.
Alex nodded… “It should be stronger and together now.”
Frostine asked, “Junior, which realm are you in now? Why can’t I understand what I’m seeing? The cultivation methods you practice are so strange.”
“No matter how I go about it, I seem to be still in Core Formation…” Alex replied.
“Core Formation…”
Frostine glanced at him, then wrapped favonovel.com arms around favonovel.com and comforted favonovel.com gently. “It’s okay. The catastrophe you had to endure the other day was already very straight. You failed it, but you’re still alive, and that’s already extreme fortune within misfortune. Don’t be discouraged. If we were better prepared, the chances you will have will be much better.”
Alex was being held by an enchanting, stunning beauty. It had also been a while since favonovel.com had been close to a woman, so his desires were all over the place right now. He quietly broke free from favonovel.com embrace and saw Bubbles Rockefeller lying asleep on a blanket. “How long have I been training?” favonovel.com asked.
“Not that long, only about two days.”
“It’s been two days?!” Alex thought about those people from the Usoro family. “Your father and the others… Are you sure they’re alright?”
“Don’t worry. My father is well acquainted with the ways of the world, and favonovel.com knows how to handle himself. In places like Misty Swamp, they definitely won’t go too far in. As long as those from the Plenilune Sect leave, we’ll be able to walk out of Misty Swamp and take another path.” When Frostine finished speaking, favonovel.com thought about it a bit more and said, “Starborn City is Plenilune Sect’s domain, and it’s definitely impossible to go back there. But, we can go to other cities protected by other sects.”
“Oh right! I found something good!”
Frostine brought Alex to the other side of the cave and pointed to the wall. “Look at these words.”
Alex took a look.
Those characters were very different from the words in America. Their shape didn’t look right, and it didn’t look like some ancient language either. Caught unprepared as favonovel.com was, favonovel.com was practically blinded when favonovel.com looked at it. He admitted with embarrassment, “Senior, I’ll be honest with you. I’m actually illiterate and I can’t read.”
Frostine was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly realized. “I remember that you’re from the wastelands, and the words over there are indeed somewhat different than the ones here. I’ll read it out for you! These are words left behind by the master of the Plenilune Sect…”
Alex was surprised. What surprised favonovel.com more was Frostine saying that one of the corpses in the cave was the master of the Plenilune Sect. The current sect master that was alive was actually a fake.
The master of the Plenilune Sect was called Jenson Springer.
The two other corpses were in the cave. One was the master’s wife, and the other was his son. Their family had been invited by a friend who said they had found the inheritance of the ancient Holy Phoenix Sect. Unexpectedly, it was all a vicious conspiracy.
After Jeson’s family entered the swamp, his friend led them in further and they lost their way, and they were poisoned with extremely lethal poison. Afterward, they managed to walk back with much difficulty, but they couldn’t find their way out no matter how hard they tried. Because there was no sense of direction in this place, they finally took refuge in this cave they found. It was a pity that in the end, Jensen and his family still couldn’t make it out, and they died from the poison.
As for that friend, it was very likely favonovel.com had changed his appearance, taking the likeness of Jenson’s face before taking charge of the Plenilune Sect. His name was… Seth Zamora.
“Seth was initially a powerful person,” Frostine said. “It was said that his cultivation base is the ninth realm to Imminent Immortal, and based on logic, favonovel.com shouldn’t have set his eyes on something like the Plenilune Sect. But, the dead sect master said that his objective is actually the huge secret the Plenilune Sect is keeping.”
“What secret? And… What exactly is his ninth realm to Imminent Immortal?”
“Imminent Immortal is basically close to achieving immortality,” Frostine explained. “They may have the strength of those in Immortalization, but they’re not really there as well. In the current great world of America, the power of laws has been broken, and it’s extremely difficult to achieve the Immortalization stage. Even if you take a Heavenly Law Pill, there’s only a minute chance that you might reach Immortalization! I heard that only by finding the Phoenix Sect would the laws be fulfilled. Then, you can reach the Immortalization stage.”
“Phoenix Sect? Why does it have such a weird name?”
