Walking up the few stairs, Alexander was now behind the throne, his Divine Sense having already found the treasures.

Kicking the throne away, sending it flying into a wall, Alexander bent over, grasping below for a tile.

Frowning, he was suddenly ambushed by an array, its golden glow not enough to scare him, crushing its sneak attack with extreme ease.

'Petty tricks!' Throwing the tile in the way, Alexander was left with a singular space ring. Inspecting it, he could not hide his joy.

"So many Marrahva Crystals!! There has to be at least a good 25 000 of these!"

Laughing at the wealth he acquired, more than enough for a breakthrough, Alexander noticed a peculiar object.

Retrieving a small, emerald green crystal, the shape of a marquise cut gem, he inspected it with care.

'Powerful! This crystal can actually emanate not only the Law of Life but also the Law of Creation and Law of Evolution all at the same time!'

Proficient in countless Heavenly Laws and Principles, Alexander could tell which Laws were oozing out of the crystal at a glance.

'The Laws this gem is releasing are all top-tier! I've never seen something so unfathomable in such a long time!' Carefully placing the gem inside his internal world, within his safest spot, it was surrounded by all of his wealth, puppets guarding all of his treasures.

'Always keeping puppets inside one's internal world, you never know when your inner world's beings will start rampaging!'

Along the strange green gem, Alexander also retrieved a red, dusty book.

'Hmm~ The Tale of Gulvar.'

Opening it, Alexander started reading its content, all the while leaving the golden castle without much of a hurry.

My name is Gulvar, a young man who dreamt of soaring high into the sky, living a life of thrill and fulfillment. However, who would predict my best friend betraying me, near crippling my cultivation when I was least expecting it! This bastard, Tom Valluas, whom I considered my greatest ally in my entire lifetime, stabbed a dagger right into my back, coated with the infamous poison 'Insatiable Four Turns and Five Repetitions', this dreadful poison suppressing one's Celestial Qi until it dissipates over five years, getting more potent every season.

Unable to confront him, as I was now weakened, I could only proceed with an inheritance ground, hoping for someone to find this place and collect my most precious possessions, which, after this betrayal, amounted to nothing much.

If you managed to collect my space ring, then congratulations, I do not know who you are, but if you are not Tom Valluas then I am fine with it. Do whatever you wish with my wealth, as for the green gem inside, please keep it. I have no idea what it does, I only received it from a random encounter during my youth, a peerless expert gifting me this gem as if tossing a candy. Even after a thousand years I could not find its use, only able to deepen my understanding of the Heavenly Laws it generated. But what I know for sure now, is that this bastard Tom Valluas was actually after this gem all along! Luckily I could salvage it, this gem now unable to find its way into his snake-like hands!

-Gulvar, a random cultivator who died in tragedy.

Closing the red book, Alexander felt stuck in a dilemma.

'That means this gem could attract unwanted attention, if this Tom Valluas finds me... I don't know, this man died as a second stage Blooming Lotus Realm cultivator, but he was also severely poisoned and weakened... Does that mean he was a peak Blooming Lotus Realm cultivator prior to this? Maybe even beyond?'

A few hours later, flying across the bountiful Celestial Realm, Alexander spotted a young man below, between sparse trees, the sky covered, flaunting his wealth as he was currently juggling with Marrahva Crystals.

Frowning deeply, Alexander was in complete confusion.

'Is this an illusion? It has to be an array, how could a little Grand Gravitational Realm trash even get his hands on Marrahva Crystals! What a waste!' Unable to resist the temptation, Alexander struck the young man from high above with a simple [Celestial Palm].

'!!' Quick on his feet, as if aware of what was about to happen, the young man kicked the ground with haste, evading the powerful blow.

"Who?!" Angry from a sudden attack, the young man shouted with seething wrath.

Spotting Alexander who descended from above, the young man spat with annoyance.

"What does this fellow mean? Attacking all of a sudden, are you trying to kill me?!"

Raising a brow, Alexander was in shock.

"Hum... yes, kind of the point... So... why don't you try and evade this one!"

'?!' Watching in regret as Alexander's figure blurred, the young man tried to block Alexander's second [Celestial Palm] with his own attack, but feeling the difference in power, he soon realized his mistake.

An explosion soon unfolded where the man stood.

"What?" Now utterly mind blown for a moment, Alexander soon understood why his powerful strike had been nullified by a junior.

"It's actually a soul remnant!!" Feeling the powerful spiritual fluctuations coming off the young man's jewelry, Alexander had a bad premonition.

'Did I kick an iron plate? But if it's just a soul remnant, I might have the advantage!' Consolidating his determination, he walked forward resolutely.

Meanwhile, the young man was currently in panic.

'Master! What just happened?! Who is this man, why does he want to kill me?' Hearing the young man's word, a beautiful woman emerged from a necklace, her alluring figure blurry.

'Moron! That's why I told you to not play with Marrahva Crystals openly! This man is a Blooming Lotus Realm cultivator! You are no match for him!'

Frightened, the man quivered.

'Then, what do we do? If I can't beat him, can I escape at least?'

Smacking the man's head using her ethereal figure, the woman was truly annoyed.

'Escape? Even if you can fight far above your own realm, can you outrun a man multiple major realms above you? This man is not someone we can currently offend! We have no choices left, I will use my own soul to deal with him, while he is stunned you make a run for it! But beware that I will end up in forced sleep for a good year after this!'

Shivering, the man had no time to rebuke her idea as the woman's form became visible to Alexander, and so did her power.

'Strong!' Narrowing his eyes, Alexander's Lotus Core spun with speed, Celestial Qi engulfing his entire being.

"Young man! You will have to play with this mistress for now!" Her blurry figure flying toward Alexander at high velocity, she used her spiritual strength to punch him.

Blocking the strike with some difficulty, Alexander's bad feeling was only accentuating more and more.

And as it reached its climax, the woman retreated quickly, before placing her hands on the grass below.

'Shit!' His battle instinct alerting him of the danger, Alexander did not bother to fly away, aware that a woman this strong would not be stupid enough to use an avoidable move, simply deciding to protect himself using his Celestial Qi instead.

Claws of stone appearing from underneath the dirt layer, they imprisoned Alexander's shining figure, trying its best at holding him in place, squeezing with all of its might.

Ten minutes later, Alexander felt his restraints lose power, destroying them with ease the next instant.

'This woman... was she a powerful expert before? I doubt even someone at the so called Primordial Harmonization Realm would be this strong in her condition... but since I can't even guess how strong the next two stages are, how would I know?' Snorting at his failure, Alexander's body resumed flying high above.

'I think he will be held back for a good ten minutes, go hide deep underground for the next month or so...'

Listening to his master's teachings, the young man started to dig into a nearby mountain, unable to contain his curiosity.

'Master, how strong were you before? You told me you were a greater existence, at what realm is this achievable?'

Folding her arms, the woman felt sleepy, only leaving behind a few words as answer before hibernating within the necklace.

'It's too early for you to care, you won't reach my level in decades, even under my direct tutelage... But remember this man well, I could feel residues of multiple Heavenly Laws near him. He might be in possession of a World Seed, if you can breakthrough the Primordial Harmonization Realm in under ten years, go search for him and rob his World Seed! It can help me regain some of my cultivation back, even if ever so slightly...'

His master now asleep, the man had fire burning inside his eyes.

'Don't worry master! With my talent and your guidance, making it under ten years is easy!'

Thinking about his utter defeat against Alexander, the man felt determined.

'Just you wait! Once I am strong enough, I will crush you!'

Flying for days, Alexander found a beautiful place to take a break at.

In the middle of a large sea, five extremely thin mountain peaks protruded from its liquid depths, their summit between the sea and the clouds, each mountain of varying height, the middle one the tallest.

Sitting cross-legged at the middle mountain's peak, Alexander took out twenty-one thousand Marrahva Crystals, soon absorbing their power with unmatched greed.

'Time to reach the third stage!'
