Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 2060  Strike Back

Primrose was a woman of great wealth. She carried with her a treasure that was capable of hiding all of their aura to a certain extent. Using that, they made their way to the Mind Palace, while remaining generally unnoticed.

People would notice them, there was no doubt. They just wished that they wouldn't be paying attention to them. The time within the secret realm was coming to an end, and the other group had pretty much already won.

Or at least they thought they did, so their guard had to be lower.

The group flew through the white pathway, staying directly at the center as they made their way past the garden and the plaza. They made their way straight to the Mind Palace far in the distance.

"Get ready," someone said softly. "You will feel a resistance here spiritually. Try not to let it bother you."

Alex nodded, having already known this was the case. Whisker hadn't made it to that palace because of this very thing.

Alex felt the subtle aura coming from the palace sometime later, and while it wasn't anything strong enough to cause them any trouble, he could see how it had hurt Whisker.

'Hmm, this is more like Intent,' Alex realized. 'A strong Intent at that, and not one with anything else mixed within it.'

Alex wanted to learn more about it but now was not the time. He saw movement to the side and noticed a few people flying out from the Trueheart plaza that was now behind them, to look in their direction.

They were obviously all hidden from their sight, but hiding from their senses was a little harder, and they had seemingly noticed something wrong.

Thankfully, they didn't seem as alert as they had to have been.

Their group still went forward, coming closer and closer to the Mind Palace. Now, Alex could finally see what it was.

The palace was located at a small dip in the land that almost appeared like a crater. At the center of the crater was a tall white pillar, massive in width. The pillar rose from the croup for nearly 20 meters before it arrived at level with the high ground, whereupon a large palace with two spires came out of the palace on either side.

Even from where they were, they could see the sign that told them of the place's name.

Alex looked at the white pillar, wondering if that was meant to represent the spinal cord. The tower above it was obviously representing the two sides of the brain.

Maybe he would find something important here.

But first, he needed to check the other places around them. Suddenly, but expectedly, a group of people began flying out of the Mind Palace in droves. A formation or something had notified them of their arrival, so it was time for them to fight.

The treasure hiding the group came off, and everyone suddenly charged for battle. Alex pulled out Midnight and searched for the person he was to fight. Ren Muwen was nowhere to be seen there at all for now, but she would come around soon enough.

Nearly 60 people came out of the palace to fight the 70 people in Alex's group. Soon, a massive battle filled the area before the Mind Palace.

Someone attacked Alex, a person with a cultivation no more than his own. The man must've thought of Alex as nothing more than a weakling among the group as well when he attacked.

So, when Alex forced him to use his defensive treasure on the very first attack, he was confused. Then, with the next attack, the man was forced to teleport away.

Even as he left, he didn't realize what had happened to him.

Alex flew past the man, arriving in front of another woman, slightly higher in cultivation base. He attacked the woman as well, quickly disposing of her from the battlefield. Her swift loss made many aware of what was happening.

People were coming from the other sections in droves, but before they could arrive here, Alex hoped to win it all.

But, there was still one problem. The strong ones were still not here. Just then, Alex sensed something from the side and looked. His eyes glowed purple for a moment and a wave of green color seemed to streak from that location.

It gave off a strong aura.

"They're here," Primrose shouted, quickly swinging her pink sword at the man she was fighting, forcing him to leave her vicinity. Miao Wupeng quickly freed himself from whoever he was fighting and so did Ninerise.

Alex moved forward and pulled out his shield as he blocked the strike that had come out of nowhere. He put the shield down next and looked ahead of him.

Leaves fluttered on the wind, all coming to converge upon a point before him where they left behind the woman who seemed to have come out of nowhere.

Ren Muwen had come to the battlefield and her eyes were on Alex. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ninerise looked toward the woman in blue, Ye Wenjie, knowing that was to be her opponent. He had been preparing for this fight for so long, so it was time to do what he had come here for.

Finally, Primrose and Miao Wupeng looked at the last man who carried a long pink spear in his arm, Ironsign. He was one of the top disciples of the current generation in the Rosesteel sect.

"I never thought I would see you all again," Ironsign said. "Especially given that I was certain you all had run away in loss. Did you think you could win with fewer people than before?"

"Hey, let them fight. I was getting bored anyway," Ye Wenjie said.

Ren Muwen looked at Alex with a grin. "You left mid-fight last time," she said. "I hope you won't think about leaving today."

"Don't worry," Alex said. "One of us is going to get a definitive loss today."

"Oh! It sure won't be me though," she said. "If you want this fight to not be a repeat of what happened last time, you all better have come prepared. I hope you have a trick up your sleeve, or this will be a one-sided massacre."

"Don't worry," Alex said. "We've come to win."

He quickly spread his senses around to everyone in the group and gave a single order.

"Get into formation!"

Immediately, people got into a formation, either moving away from a fight they were in or moving to attack someone. Within moments, all 70 of them were scattered, but ready to fight.

"Haha!" Miao Wupeng shouted as he felt the changes in his body again. "This truly is incredible!" He swung the saber, releasing a strong attack that flew for Ironsign.

Ironsign quickly moved his Spear to block the attack and was shocked when he realized that he had barely stopped it. The attack… had now been on par with his own strength.

"How…"

"You are stronger!" Miao Wupeng shouted. "Now, fight!"

Immediately, every single one of the people in their group shouted and changed their opponents.

Alex looked at them all and smiled as he knew that they had all become a tier stronger than they were before.

Seeing that this could lead to their victory, all his self-doubt about teaching them all the Hell Emperor's Divine Battle Array vanished in a single moment.
