This was too outrageous.
Alex pondered for a while. How many developed acupoints did he have before this?
It seemed to be 999 acupoints. However, he had now developed two thousand acupoints in one fell
swoop and lacked one acupoint to attain perfection.
The three thousand acupoints in a humanâs body corresponded to three thousand golden cores. This
was also the omnipotent aspect of the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell.
If it were someone else, who could have possessed that many golden cores?
It was not a question about success or failure, but it was a question of whether the person would die or
not.
As for ordinary people refining energy cores into golden cores, each person could only develop three
energy cores and three golden cores at most. They could not produce more than that, and they would
simply dig their graves by developing golden cores using acupoints. Moreover, acupoints could not
accommodate the golden coresâ required energy load and would explode as soon as the energy
surged.
Hence, this was the ability of the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell.
âIâll attain perfection with one more acupoint.â
âI wonder which level I will reach after perfection?â Alex was filled with expectations.
He looked at himself with inner vision. The achievement of those golden cores was only at the soul and
bone level, and his flesh was not around, but he could still see the densely packed golden cores
floating in his soul like newborn stars and containing massive energy.
He knew that those golden cores had not reached their peak states, and they still needed accumulated
growth over a long period.
Even if he possessed 2,999 golden cores, he noticed that he was now at the Beginner-Core Formation
stage at best. Each golden core still required nourishment of infinite energy for enhancement. To reach
another level, he would probably have to cultivate all the golden cores to the Peak-Core Formation
state, right?
âHow was it?â
The Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens next to him asked as she saw Alexâs bones abnormalities.
Previously, many densely packed, perplexing black and white bone patterns appeared on his bones.
These bone patterns were so unique that the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens felt slightly familiar as
if she had seen them somewhere before. However, she could not remember that for a moment.
Alex told the Mystic Maiden the truth without hiding anything.
The Mystic Maiden could even search his soul under the contract state.
When she found out that Alex still lacked a golden core in his body to achieve three thousand golden
cores, she could not speak for a long while.
âThereâs one more thing. My soul power just experienced some sort of metamorphosis and evolution,
but I saw many artistic images in the process. For instance, a bright moon rising above the seaâ¦â
The Mystic Maiden was no stranger to this, so she said, âWhat you are talking about is the
manifestation of the cognitive domain, the embodiment of mental transcendence after touching some
laws of colossal cultivation. This realm is so mysterious and rare that countless people canât reach it in
their entire lives. I did not expect you to experience this even though you havenât succeeded in
achieving Immortalization. It shows that you have decent talent in cultivation. Itâs already extremely rare
for a genius to experience the law of artistic imagery, and various big sects would treat him as a seed
for cultivation. Surprisingly, you saw so many of them.â
Alex looked at her. âDoes that mean Iâm a genius among geniuses?â
The Mystic Maiden initially wanted to praise him. But when he had said that out loud, she changed her
mind and said, âThat doesnât explain anything, right? Talent is one thing, but strength is another. Iâve
seen many extremely talented geniuses dying in the hands of averagely talented people in the end.
Thatâs a fact.â
However, she thought, âIs this brat some kind of freak? How can an ordinary person see so many
manifestations of the mental domain? Could he have schizophrenia?â
Alex then said, âBut then, another mass of light showed up and wiped out all the visions in my cognitive
domain.â
âWhat?â The Mystic Maiden was even more surprised. âTell me more about it.â
When Alex mentioned that object in that hazy mass of light that looked like a sword or an ax, the Mystic
Maiden was also puzzled.
She had never seen such a bizarre thing either. Eventually, she shook her head. âI canât give you the
explanation either because your condition is a bit beyond normal norms, and youâre a freak.â
The two people chatted for a while.
Alex suddenly recalled the injured Daya and Shirley, and the group of them were still waiting outside.
Since the matter at Shoraionji Temple was over and those few Olympus Tribe people had been
executed, he should go and find them to avoid any accidents.
However, the Mystic Maiden said, âDo you know how long youâve been here?â
