âLetâs depart!â Dorothy Assex shouted again.
Right then, Jade Benmore walked over. âWait a second. Donât rush. Alex is fine. He shared his life force
with me. He and I share a connection. Heâs in great shape now. In fact, heâs better than heâs ever been.
His life force has increased tremendously.â
âWhat? His life force increased tremendously? What does that mean? How long can he live? A
hundred years old? Or 120?â Beatrice Assex muttered.
Now, the longest living person on earth was perhaps only around 120!
Jade glanced at Beatrice. âDid someone give you your cultivation? Donât use an ordinary personâs
perspective to look at a cultivatorâs life force. Youâre at the Divine Transcendence rank. Without any
natural disasters or illnesses, youâll be able to live for three hundred years. Alex is at the Peak-Core
Formation rank. He can live at least five hundred years,â Jade said.
âI⦠Can I live to three hundred years old? Can Alex live to five hundred?â Beatrice exclaimed. Indeed,
she didnât have a grasp on such a concept. Her cultivation was all thanks to her sister. Beatrice turned
to look at Dorothy. âSister, how long can you live?â
Dorothy shook her head and chuckled. âI have no idea either.â
Dorothy said she didnât know because she was afraid that she might awaken her past self. Her soul
might transform and deny everything she believed in now. Even if her soul were the same one, she
would no longer be herself.
All these meant she might have a split personality. Her current personality might be thoroughly
engulfed.
Jade didnât mention one thing.
She could sense that Alex Rockefellerâs life force was much more abundant than ordinary Peak-Core
Formation experts. It was a completely different concept. She could only say that he didnât take the
usual path.
Jadeâs senses werenât wrong.
Alex had acquired three million points of divine power from the Pindola arhat, as well as countless soul
power from the Soul Collection Coffin. Hence, his life force increased significantly. The portion he
previously shared with Jade was very quickly replenished.
âWhat did he go through?â Waltz Fleur asked.
âHe must have had a bizarre encounter. This is very normal. The path of a cultivator involves
challenging fate and shaping oneâs path through brute force⦠To fight for opportunities against the
rules⦠The larger the risks, the greater the chances⦠You, for instance, staying at home all the time
wonât bring you any achievements. Youâll only keep lagging further behind Alex. At the end of the day,
you wonât even have what it takes to look at him from afar.â
As soon as Waltz heard this, her expressions twisted and crunched.
Waltz could already feel it now.
There were many things she couldnât help Alex with. She was once the underworld commander
ofThousand Miles Conglomerate. Now, she was no different from a vase. Her martial arts might be
sufficient against ordinary humans, but during dangerous encounters like before, sheâd become a
burden to Alex insteadâ¦
Waltz hated such a feeling. In her heart, she was a very proud person who refused to lose out to
anyone else. However, now, even Beatrice could step all over her. âWhat must I do to not become his
burden?â Waltz asked.
âJoin the fight! Fighting is the only way for a person to improve,â Jade said.
Jade then looked at Waltz and laughed. âBut thereâs also a possibility that you might die!â
âIâve never been afraid of dying,â Waltz said gravely with an intense gaze. Waltz was only afraid of
being unable to keep up with Alex.
Jade didnât say anything else.
Meanwhile, Dorothy also canceled her plan of bringing the others to Japan. Instead, she asked her little
sister to pay attention to what was happening in Japan.
***
These people in Rockefeller Manor werenât the only ones who were worried about Alex.
There was also Cheryl Coney.
Leaving Alexâs home in tears, she only returned home after calming herself down in anticipation of
spending New Yearâs Eve with her grandparents. However, she didnât feel happy at all. James Coney
and Granny Coney could tell she wasnât in the best of moods. Cheryl had a personality where she
would keep everything in her heart. Her grandparents asked her questions, but she refused to tell them
anything. Hence, they could only observe in frustration.
James tried to call Alex on the phone, but Alexâs phone was out of battery when he entered the
Spiritual Realm of Dragons.
Soon, new yearâs eve came to an end.
Cheryl yawned. âGrandpa, Grandma, happy new year! You two are getting old, and you donât have to
stay up on new yearâs eve. Go to bed!â
âWe are getting old, and that means we sleep less! Sigh. Itâs the new year. Why donât you give Alex a
call?â Granny Coney asked.
Cheryl immediately showed a bitter expression.
James glanced at his wife. âCheryl, my darling granddaughter, is there something on your mind? What
exactly happened between you and Alex?â
Grany Coney also glanced at James.
âIâ¦â Cheryl nearly burst into tears.
Right then, a phone call came in. It was a call from a nurse who used to work for her when she was still
working at the hospital. Cheryl casually picked it up.
âHello!â The womanâs voice sounded panicked.
âDr. Coney, didnât the coma patient we were looking for have a son called Alex Rockefeller?â She
asked.
âHuh? What happened?â Cheryl asked.
âSomething strange has happened in Japan. Iâll send you a video clip. The entire world is looking for
this Alex Rockefeller right now. I wonder if itâs him,â said the nurse.
