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 favonovel.com wanted to say something, but no words came out in the end.
‘This fellow here is so powerful that favonovel.com just refined the Blue Demonic Lotus! Yet you’re describing favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com immediately jumped and spun around excitedly. She then touched favonovel.com 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?”

On the outside, the two old fellows were still using their blood essence in an attempt to refine the Cleansing Vase.
“Clinton, try harder. I can feel that the vase is at its limits. It’s about to come out from the dimensional space.”
“I feel it too!”
“There’s only one Cleansing Vase, but we ’ve made a promise to use it together and rob the Dao Fields of the sacred mountain of their resources. Then we’ll gain so much more than just a vase.”
“Don’t worry, I’m a man of my word!”
The two old men subsequently came to an agreement. They urged their juniors who were helping out behind, to use more force.
Right at that moment, the vase moved, and a force was released. The two men were ecstatic.
“It’s coming out, it’s coming out!”
“That son of a b*tch, it finally gave in!”
“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!”
