“The Immortal-slaying sword! It really does attract everyone!”
Alex looked at the place the sword had vanished and muttered to himself. Eagerness could be seen in his eyes. It was a precious treasure everyone would love. Unfortunately, it was too difficult to attain.
Alex took a few deep breaths and regained his calm. He then glared at the tribulation clouds, unafraid.
“Awh. This lightning tribulation is too weak!”
“I was wondering what sort of havoc it’d cause, but it didn’t even leave a single bruise on me. How disappointing!”
Within the Cleansing Vase, Shelley and Ancestor Bodhi looked at one another, speechless. They had seen what had happened outside.
Alex was nearly killed by the two intruders before. Yet he’d taken the chance and used the tribulation to solve his problem.
‘How ungrateful of favonovel.com to complain about the tribulation’s attacks!’
‘What a b”tch!’
‘He’s so annoying!’
Ancestor Bodhi asked, “But what just happened? Why can’t the lightning tribulation harm him? I know that he’d trained some lightning attributes, but so did many others. I have never seen them so powerful.”
“It probably has something to do with the Blue Demonic Lotus!”
“The Blue Demonic Lotus can protect favonovel.com from the lightning tribulation?”
“I’m not sure either. By the way, that lady on the immortal-slaying sword seemed weird. Would favonovel.com cause trouble?” Shelly was worried for a moment but quickly let it go. “Forget it; if she’s an enemy, we’ll just kill her.”
Outside, the lightning tribulation gradually became fiercer, seemingly mad at Alex. However, Alex remained unscathed. The attacks were absorbed by his mind palace into the soil where the nine lotus seeds rested. A few streaks of lightning still flashed above ground as if it was trying its best.
Despite this, there was no use. All of them vanished within the swamp.
Whoosh!
The lightning tribulation dispersed, having no way to get to a creep like Alex.
“Time to collect my rewards!” Alex smiled as favonovel.com looked at the corpses on the floor.
He ignored the weaklings, but there had been five intruders who snuck in with a disguise. They were experts of Heavenly Deity, hence they must’ve brought some valuables.
Indeed, their belongings satisfied Alex. Each of their storage rings was extremely huge. Inside them were countless resources for cultivation. Other than different pills and elixirs, there were many other ingredients for smelting.
Alex took a closer look and found many of the ingredients were still fresh. It was very likely that they had been harvested here at the wastelands.
“I wonder how many more people like them there are.”
“It’d be hard to fight them without the recognition of the Immortal-Slaying sword!” Alex sighed gently. He’d almost lost his life, after all.
“Huh, what’s this?”
Suddenly, Alex found numerous flagpoles in one of the rings. He gave them a rough count and realized at least ten thousand of them. “Damn, could favonovel.com be running a flagpole wholesale business? What does favonovel.com need that many for?”
He looked through the ring more thoroughly and found an ancient book at the side.
It seemed to be made of some kind of leather and was slightly damaged. The patterns were special like it was a sky full of stars. As favonovel.com continued staring at it, the stars even seemed to be spinning… The back was filled with script, symbols, and drawings.
“Could this be some sort of formation?”
“There are up to ten thousand poles. Could they be formation flags?”
Alex was shocked. He wondered what sort of formation needed so many flags.
