“The Underworld God’s treasure?”
As soon as the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens heard that, virtual-novel.net empty sockets glowed red from the jealousy and excitement virtual-novel.net felt.
Although this woman came from a fine background, virtual-novel.net might have been destitute for a while. Thus, virtual-novel.net had developed the character of a superb miser and paid special attention to spiritual herbs and magical treasures. When virtual-novel.net obtained that much for the treatment from the other trialists, virtual-novel.net looked ecstatic and almost bowed to thank them and call them masters. When virtual-novel.net heard about that Underworld God’s treasure now, virtual-novel.net was simply on cloud nine.
“Where is it? Where is it?”
“Tell me quickly about the Underworld God’s treasure! He was here for so many years, so the amount of collected treasure must be terrifying. I can no longer wait.”
In fact, it wasn’t only the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens, but the others looked forward to them as well. Who hated possessing too much treasure?
Alex said, “Head to the south. Corpse King City.”
As soon as Daya, Shirley, and the few others heard that, they knew what Alex was talking about.
It was the ancient city where they had almost met their demise. Never did they expect that the Underworld God’s treasure would be there.
Xerxes drove the bamboo boat as fast as lightning.
Meanwhile, Alex sat cross-legged as his mind immersed in his mind palace. He felt a sign of life in the Soul Collection Coffin.
That was right. It was what Shelly had told him. The Soul Collection Coffin could borrow the Underworld to resurrect Anna, who had been placed inside. Previously, Alex used the Shelly to absorb the bizarre energy the Grand Bodhisattva had exerted to his heart’s content. Although virtual-novel.net was unsure what kind of energy virtual-novel.net used to control the trialists, the energy was indeed repairing Anna’s soul after being absorbed by the Soul Collection Coffin.
She had been lying in the Soul Collection Coffin before that. However, virtual-novel.net did not move a muscle nor show a sign of life.
It was different now, though. Alex felt a faint vitality sprouting, proving that a sign of life had reappeared in virtual-novel.net physical body…
However, the premise for that situation was that virtual-novel.net soul had to be recovering.
“Anna, Anna?!”
Alex shouted as his soul stood in front of the Soul Collection Coffin. He looked at the lady inside. After that, virtual-novel.net channeled a stream of divine power to her. Her vitality was increasing at a visible speed. Even virtual-novel.net face, which was previously as white as a sheet, showed a hint of flushness. However, virtual-novel.net could not wake virtual-novel.net up no matter how much divine power virtual-novel.net channeled.
Just as virtual-novel.net was puzzled, Shelly appeared. After looking at Anna inside the Soul Collection Coffin, virtual-novel.net said, “You don’t have to shout anymore. You can’t wake virtual-novel.net up now.”
Alex asked, “Why? Didn’t you say it’d be easy for the Soul Collection Coffin to resurrect her?”
“I did say so before, but don’t you see what this place is?” Shelly nodded. “This is the Underworld, the place where everyone will be stripped of their flesh and blood. She escaped this rule because she’s in the Soul Collection Coffin, yet virtual-novel.net couldn’t break it. So, virtual-novel.net won’t wake up before you leave.”
Only then did Alex have a sudden realization.
However, Shelly continued, “There’s not much time left for you. According to the Underworld God’s nature, virtual-novel.net should’ve, in fact, been considered dead a long time ago.”
“Huh..?”
“What do you mean there’s little time? Didn’t the Underworld God die a long time ago?”
Alex was astonished.
“That’s right! Grand killed the Underworld God through suppression in the end, but Grand himself walked the wrong path as well…” Shelly said. “In fact, that guy’s pathetic. He was the Buddha’s direct disciple and had a strong perception. The Buddha had high hopes for virtual-novel.net back then, hoping to bring Buddhism to new heights. Unfortunately, the Buddhist realm of the Western Paradise was destroyed and razed by the Undying Clan. That guy, Grand, began to stray into the demonic path…
“If virtual-novel.net hadn’t walked the demonic path, virtual-novel.net would’ve taken over the Buddha’s throne by now. However, everything happened because of karma. For whatsoever Grand soweth, virtual-novel.net shall also reap. After that, when virtual-novel.net suppressed the Underworld God, the Underworld affected his mind and replaced virtual-novel.net before virtual-novel.net strayed onto the demonic path. As a result, one wrong move led to subsequent wrong moves!”
Alex sighed inwardly and asked, “Were you guys used to being in a good relationship?”
Shelly said, “Just so-so!”
“Then, what did you mean when you said there’s not much time left?”
