âWhat time is it now?â
âItâs almost five oâclock.â
âIf we were outside, weâd have seen daylight already.â
âThat was a real close call. If Mr. Rockefeller didnât have such amazing martial arts capabilities like a
Cultivation Guru, and the fact that heâs even stronger than my father, weâd have all been dead together
in this place.â
âIf William truly returned here on his own, heâd have been in grave trouble if he bumped into this!â
In the giant tomb, beneath the half-remaining tower, Alex Rockefeller and the rest buried Darven
Mikailâs body. Kenneth Sunder, Quincy Zoppins, and Zayne York drank the liquor they brought along
and ate dried meat while chatting.
Susan Hunter still felt guilty. She sat in front of the grave and didnât move at all.
Dorothy Assex and Freya Mayer were recovering their energy.
Waltz Fleur and Maya Howards occasionally glanced at Dorothy Assex. For some reason, they still
found her a little odd.
Meanwhile, Alex Rockefeller had focused his attention entirely within his mind palace. He was
dumbfounded.
He discovered that there were actually four bright stars inside Mother Chaos. There were supposed to
be only three bright stars, proving that three shattered Chaos Beads were inside. It meant that there
was an additional shattered Chaos Bead.
âWhere could this bead have come from?â
âCould it beâ¦â
Alex suddenly recalled that Caesarâs ghost emperor spiritual body previously mentioned that he
smelled something familiar in Alexâs body, which was why he suddenly dug himself into Alexâs body to
investigate it. In that case, this shattered Chaos Bead had most probably come from within Caesarâs
spirit.
After smelling a familiar scent, Caesar thought Alexâs body contained a shattered Chaos Bead too. It
made him very excited, and he sought to acquire it. In the end, to his surprise, not only did Alex have a
shattered Chaos Bead, but he even had Mother Chaos.
In the end, Caesarâs shattered Chaos Bead was also snatched away.
Unfortunately, Alex was too weak to control the Chaos Bead now. As such, Alex was like an untrained
fighter wielding a mighty weapon. He could only allow the Chaos Bead to activate on its own accord.
Through that, Alex would obtain several types of passive abilities.
Even if the shattered Chaos Bead had been previously used by the great monk, Revealer, and
absorbed countless resentful spirits and energy from the blood river, Alex couldnât unlock the space. He
couldnât use the powers to strengthen himself.
âArgh! when can I truly utilize this inconsistent Chaos Bead?â Alex sighed.
He then brought his attention out of his mind palace, not dating to confront the additional shattered
Chaos Bead with his mental power.
Alex was afraid that something that had happened before might happen again, and he might end up
being sucked into a tiny, isolated world.
âItâs about time. Letâs keep moving forward!â Dorothy stood up and said.
They had basically pulled an all-nighter.
Although people with high levels of cultivation like Alex and Dorothy didnât feel anything, Susan,
Kenneth, and Quincy, who were severely injured, found this a little problematic. They sat on the ground
and yawned repeatedly.
Alex took out a bottle and retrieved a few red Blood Energy Pills before distributing a few to them.
âWhat is this thing?â Quincy asked.
âIt can strengthen your blood energy and get rid of the fatigue. Itâs good for you,â Alex said.
Susan swallowed it without hesitation.
Quincy, however, hesitated. âThis isnât poison, is it?â
Waltz snorted. âWhat could we possibly get from killing you with poison?â
âIt wonât necessarily kill me, but it might be used to control me just like how mind control pills are used
in television programs. Arenât those used solely for the purpose of mind control?â Quincy asked.
Maya sneered. âIt would be a little useful if you can control your senior. But what good would there be
to control a piece of trash like you that canât even walk?â
Awkwardness instantly washed over Quincy. âI⦠Iâm still useful.â
Waltz laughed coldly. âEver since we came in, youâve been all talk but no action. You even blamed
Susan. At least, she was able to find us the pathways. You only slow your senior down,â she
complained.
Kenneth Sunder believed Alex unconditionally too. He immediately ate the Blood Energy Pill.
As a martial arts cultivator, be instantly knew this was good stuff.
âMr. Rockefeller, what pill is this? I feel that itâs even better than the Small Energy Pill from another
martial arts sect. After eating it, I find it even easier to activate my martial arts cultivation,â Kenneth
exclaimed.
Alex nodded. âIndeed, itâs a tad bit stronger than a Small Energy Pill.â
Kenneth had eaten the pills as if they were candy. He no longer thought anything of it. Hence, Alex
didnât plan to take the pills back even if Quincy and Zayne refused to eat them.
Although he didnât want the pills back, Susan thought otherwise. âQuincy, if youâre afraid the pill might
be poison, give it back to Alex. No oneâs forcing you to eat it,â she said.
