âW-what sort of existence is that?â
âOh my god! The divine golden mountain is so far away, yet I could feel its holy intent.â
âI suddenly felt an impulse to rush toward the sacred mountain and kowtow before it.â
Countless people present were stunned. This was a huge incident, a tremor of momentous scale. Not
only the Sun Shrine, but almost all the people on the land could see that sacred golden mountain at
this moment. It was enormous and towering with steep cliffs as if floating in the air⦠Below the cliffs
were clouds and the sea but separated from the continental horizon as if another dimensional space
had suddenly revealed a corner of its picture scroll, exposed before everyone.
At this moment, the Sun Shrineâs people almost forgot about Alex and the pig demon that had plucked
the Stardew fruits from the mountainside. It was because of the extremely powerful holy aura surging
out of the sacred mountain.
âThis is⦠Some type of mental infiltration!â
The Chaos Tree in Alexâs mind palace shook, and the golden lake that the divine power had formed
roared to drive the rush of holy intent away.
He was also astonished that this kind of change would happen for no reason. What the heck was that?
However, the most crucial thing was to leave the Sun Shrine now. Just as the crowd was still immersed
in the mental infiltration of the sacred mountainâs holy intent, Alex turned around to look at the pig
demon. To his surprise, this furtive guy seemed utterly unaffected by the mental strength and was
preparing to sneak away.
The shock of the silver tree earlier formed a massive crack in the mountainside, so it wanted to run
down the mountain through the crack.
âPig head. Where are you going? Stop right there!â Alex shouted.
Once the pig demon heard it, it did not even turn around. Instead, it fled even faster. As its body turned
into a stream of light, it ran as fast it could.
While running, it even sneered. âDumb brat, Grandpa Pig acquired the Stardew Fruits with its ability.
How could it give them to you? Keep on dreaming!â
It spread its four hooves and ran like a lightning bolt. However, it crashed into someone just after it
made a turn in the corner.
It looked up. Wasnât that Alex?
Oh, it was Alexâs mirage.
âOink, oink..!â
The pig demon screamed strangely.
Bam!
The mirage directly moved and landed a punch on the pig demonâs eye socket, giving it a black eye at
once.
âOink, oink, oink!â
The pig demon wailed miserably. It turned around and headed to the other side, but another mirage
blocked it. No matter how fast it was, it could not run away. So, it was instantly beaten to a pulp.
âBig Bro, stop the beating! Ouch! Grandpa Pigâs old nose is going to be broken!â
âLetâs have a good talk! A gentleman should reason things out rather than his fists!â
Alexâs real body arrived and kicked it with a series of âbamâ.
âWhoâs going to use fists on you? Iâm using my kicks on you. You wanted to run away after taking my
Stardew Fruits. What were you thinking? Take them out.â
Alex searched its body to find out where it could hide things.
Then, he saw it was wearing an earring on the tip of its ear. What a fashionable pig! This was the only
place on its body that could hide things.
Whoosh!
Alex pulled off the earring with a grab.
This was equivalent to having stepped on the treasure-hunting pigâs tail. It flew into a rage. âItâs mine!
Itâs mine! You thug. If you dare to snatch it, Iâll fight you with all my might!â
Alex ignored it and erased the brand on the earring with his divine sense, forcefully taking out the
Stardew fruits inside. However, he was stunned the next second.
The earringâs space was enormous!
It could be as huge as a gymnasium. All sorts of precious species were piled inside. Dragon Horn
Powder, Heavenly Chrysanthemum, the Eight-petaled Immortal Orchid, the Cockscomb Phoenix
Sunflower, and even the Earth Orchid for the concoction of Supreme Chi Rejuvenation Pill. It had
everything one needed.
It was just like portable storage for medicine. As expected, it completely deserved its âtreasure-hunting
pigâ moniker.
