Chapter 1742 Squid

"We will give you the resources," Scarlet told Alex. "The rest, unfortunately, you will have to plan yourself."

A few minutes after that, the meeting was over.

Alex left the throne room, making his way back to his room, slightly frowning at the thought of getting no help in terms of the ideas of warfare

He would have to rely all on himself to plan the entire war and how he would go about it.

That was a troublesome situation. Surely a nearly 20 thousand-year-old Immortal would know a lot more than him, a mortal who wasn't even 100 years old.

Alex frowned, but worrying wasn't going to help him. He needed to make a concrete plan, but that likely wasn't going to help him either since the Dragon Emperor was most certainly better at coming up with war tactics.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

'No,' Alex thought. 'No matter how much I plan, it will all come down to nothing if we can't kill the Dragon Emperor. What we need more than anything else right now is for me to have a strong enough cultivation base to fight him.'

Zhou Linfan was guaranteed to aid him in battle, as he was going to help them in the war entirely just so he could fight and kill the Dragon Emperor.

Hannah was the other person who could fight, and by the time of the war, she would most likely be stronger than the Dragon Emperor too. However, she had no battle skills and it was unlikely that the Dragon Emperor would even dare fight her and put others to distract her.

Not to mention, Hannah hadn't killed anyone before, so that put extra pressure on her which wasn't good during battle.

Aside from the two, there weren't many others who could fight the Dragon Emperor and survive. In the end, Alex was the only last one who could fight, so if he wanted to defeat the Dragon Emperor, he needed to be ready.

Alex was back in his room and had started cultivating once again. He hadn't had the chance to properly cultivate for the past month as he had forced himself to make as many pills as he could for everyone that could need it.

Now that Scarlet was out and about, he decided to leave that task to his mother and finally get serious about his own cultivation.

He was going to break through as soon as he could and force himself to keep doing that even when his cultivation base hadn't properly stabilized.

So, for that, he had to eat another beast core.

This time, the core he ate was from a beast in the Saint Soul 7th realm, and it quickly became apparent what beast it was when a squid formed in Alex's spiritual sea.

'This is so weird,' he thought. What was going on?

'I have to ask someone,' Alex thought.

He found one of the elders first and talked to him about his situation, but the elder had no idea what Alex was talking about.

An instability in one's cultivation base was supposed to be apparent for anyone who had properly hit a bottleneck and broke through beforehand. In Alex's case, he should have been fully aware.

If he didn't, then something was most certainly wrong with his cultivation base. Or maybe most certainly right.

Alex thought for a bit and decided to ask Scarlet next. As a beast, she would be more aware of how it was to cultivate using a beast core.

"We don't cultivate using beast core," Scarlet answered. "In fact, our body simply absorbs the beast's core and makes us strong on its own. It... just happens. Maybe the same is true for you too?"

Alex frowned a little at the information. "Do you have to break through manually when you eat a beast core or does it just happen too?"

"It just happens," Scarlet said.

"Then that is not the same as for me," Alex said with a sigh. "I should be feeling a feeling of instability, but I don't. I'm worried it's a false promise from my body and if I accept this, I will have problems in the future."

"Honestly, I don't know," Scarlet said. "You should ask Bai Jingshen. He knows more than I do thanks to his master."

"Oh... okay," Alex said. "I'll go to him."

Alex found out that Bai Jingshen had left on a trip with his wives to go see the rest of the continent while they were there.

They had left Pearl behind with Helen and the rest so he could spend his time with them which they had taken away for the past few months after his return.

However, at a single call from Pearl, the White Tiger arrived back in the palace within minutes.

"What do you need help with?" Bai Jingshen asked. "This better be worth it for me to leave my wives alone on the trip."
