“What do I do?”

“How can I wake them?”

Alex scratched his bald head, frustrated and annoyed. He had tried many ways to wake them, yet it

was all for naught.

Suddenly, he remembered the mysterious ax in his mind. Perhaps, it could release the others’

consciousness with it. Just then, he noticed that he wasn’t in control of the ax.

It wouldn’t budge at all.

He then felt something floating past from above his head. Lifting his gaze, he saw a person… They

seemed to be covered in a layer of transparent energy, flying across the sky with lightning speed.

“This is…” Alex was surprised. Yet, he only saw more rays of light when he turned around.

One… Ten… Dozens of those rays shot through the skies. More and more appeared, making the light

even denser. There seemed to be a person in every single ray.

Alex could see this clearly now. These people were trialists that gathered this realm, all originating from

different corners of the universe. They came to look for the grand opportunity to improve their skeletons

from their foundation.

However, they were now being affected by the tomb, and they rushed towards it as if they were moths

flying into a ball of flames.

Alex looked into the distance. These trialists were attracted by some mysterious force, walking to the

tomb in a large group after they’ve lost control of their minds. They would then become part of the

tomb, providing the tomb with even more strength to slaughter.

As soon as they entered the tomb, they’d support the emperor to defeat the temple.

However, the trialists grew in numbers as if there was no end to them. There were also multiple bone

demons coming from every direction.

The arhats got back into their Buddhist formation, fighting back once more with all their might.

This time, Revealer Maha activated the energy of the entire Shoraionji Temple.

Amid such a difficult time, Alex didn’t expect this situation to happen. He didn’t think the emperor could

brainwash all the trialists in the Underworld, turning them into mere sacrifices…

However, if these trialists were to be killed, they would forever be trapped in the Underworld Tomb,

becoming lifeless tombstones. Moreover, these tombstones were going to be used as weapons.

“Dorothy, Dorothy! Wake up, please!”

Alex shook Dorothy with force, using his mental power to get in contact with her body. He hoped to

wake her up right this instant. It would be quite dangerous if they didn’twhile being in this situation.

“Alex!”

Suddenly, he heard a voice. It was Shelly!

It would seem that she had woken up from her confinement.

“What happened?”

“Shelly, you came at the right time! Quick, look at them now. They’re being controlled by the emperor.

They’ve lost their minds! This guy even called himself the Palatial Bodhi…”

Alex immediately reported everything he knew to her.

Shelly scrunched up her beautiful nose. “Are you talking about the Palatial?”

Alex asked, “You know him?”

Shelly said, “I heard this guy used to be the descendant of Sakyamuni. But he made a big mistake and

was punished to guard the Dairaionji Temple. From then on, all information on him vanished from this

world…”

“Oh right, you’ve absorbed quite a lot of Yin-Yang Chi water last time. Your cultivation skills have

probably been improved by one level right?”

“Ugh, ask such questions later. It’s not the time for this. Let’s solve the problem at hand first.”

Shelly looked towards Dorothy and the others. “It might be hard on others, but not for you.”

Alex immediately raised the question. “What do I do then?”

Shelly replied, “Don’t you have a mystical treasure? Take out the Soul Collection Coffin!”
