System: Replicating The Heavens

For a moment, Alex suspected that he has entered someone else's body and possessed him, however, thinking of the Heavy Earth Sword that he used previously to break the maze formation, Alex shook his head and rejected this thought.

If he was really inside someone else's body, how could he possibly take out the Heavy Earth Sword and use it?

At this moment, what entered his line of sight was a field of flowers.

The flower beds were supposed to be bright and beautiful places, but this large field of flowers was actually a dark and gloomy black land, filled with flowers exuding eerie and poisonous air.

"Poison, they're actually all poisonous herbs. Who planted them here? And... Why is my body reacting to these poisonous herbs?" Alex opened his eyes wide in disbelief and muttered.

Previously, he felt his body reacting to something so he walked deeper into the area inside the boundary of huge walls. However, he didn't expect that his body would be reacting because of these poisonous herbs.

Now that he thought about the Soaring Centipede, it was most likely the guard of this flower garden.

Alex could feel his blood boiling more potently when he come in front of these flowers, it was as if his body wanted him to swallow these poisonous herbs. He didn't know the reason why this is happening and thought that all of this must be because of the Nine Small Formations.

"No matter what, since my body is reacting to these poisonous herbs and making me want to swallow them, I'll fulfill its wish and swallow them all!"

Thinking of this, Alex ignored everything and frantically started picking up the poisonous herbs. And without even bothering to look at which stalk of poison grass had ripened and which was still a seedling, he started swallowing them.

The moment he swallowed them, he felt a warm energy surge inside his body, making his blood boil even more. At the same time, he also started feeling hot as his body turned red at some point.

However, the more poisonous herbs he swallowed, the more he wanted to swallow them as if his hunger for these poisonous herbs was growing bigger and bigger.

When Alex felt that his body has reached its limit and if he dared to swallow even a single stalk of poisonous herbs again, his body will explode, at this time, a sudden vortex was formed inside his body, sucking all the energy from the poisonous herbs. When all the energy was sucked, the vortex started growing smaller and when it was about to disappear, a black stream of energy rushed out from it. The next instant, his aura started rising and he broke through. His cultivation increased by one level but this was not the end, a few seconds later, his cultivation once again broke through, increasing his cultivation by one level once again.

After that, the commotion inside his body calmed down, making Alex take a few deep breaths.

He opened his eyes and revealed an excited expression before frowning.

"Why? Why is it like this?"

Alex has just broken through in cultivation and his cultivation base increased by two levels, however, after opening his eyes, he felt as if it was not his cultivation that increased, instead, it was this body's cultivation that has increased.

It means, for some reason, Alex started to feel that this was not his body, instead, this body seems to be a foreign body that he has somehow possessed.

But again, if this really is the case, then why was he able to summon the Heavy Earth Sword from his spatial ring and use it to break the maze formation?

Shaking his head, Alex let go of this emotion for the time being and focused on the poisonous flowers. More than half of the poisonous herbs have been swept clean by him, leaving the small half of the poisonous herbs swaying with the soft blow of air.

"These poisonous herbs seem to have been planted recently by someone. I wonder who planted so many poisonous herbs here!"

Alex was extremely surprised but he understood that a person who could produce such precious poisonous herbs was definitely not an ordinary person.

Even though it was a pity to pick these poisonous herbs before they matured and swallow them raw, he couldn't do anything in the previous situation. After swallowing one of the poisonous herbs here, his body started reacting, making him go crazy and continue to swallow other poisonous herbs. For a moment, Alex lost control of his body and his body relied on its own institution to pluck and swallow the poisonous herbs. This is also one of the few reasons why Alex felt this body was not his.

"If this really is a land where someone planted the poisonous herbs, it means I not only stole those poisonous herbs, I even swallowed them. If that person were to come here, it'll be troublesome for me to deal with him. And if he is more powerful than me, I'll definitely die. So, I can't stay here any longer, I have to leave this place!"

Alex took advantage of the fact that the owner of this land was not here and did not dare to linger around. He quickly turned around and left hurriedly.

However, not long after Alex left, a figure descended from the sky. It was an old man. When he saw that more than half of the poisonous herbs he had planted had disappeared, he immediately let out a long howl towards the sky.

"Dammit, who was it that stole the poisonous herbs that I carefully planted?"

He had to run through many places to find a suitable place to plant a large number of poisonous herbs. To be safe, he even left the Soaring Centipede here to guard the land and laid down a maze formation to trap the trespassers.

But he didn't expect that someone would actually break through his maze formation and even stole more than half of the poisonous herbs.

He looked around in anger and the next moment, as if he sensed something, he immediately dashed out. Looking at the ground from where the poisonous herbs has been plucked out, he could tell that the person who stole his poisonous herbs had just left not too long ago. If he were to hurry, he can catch that person.

On the other hand, when Alex, who was not far from the huge wall, heard this shout, he was immediately scared half to death. It is because he could feel the power of that person in his roar. That person's strength shouldn't be as simple as just a Spirit Origin Stage. He must be more powerful.

Now that he thought about it, that person was able to not only subdue the Soaring Centipede, he even left this demonic beast of Spirit Origin Stage here to guard the land of poisonous herbs. This alone is enough to prove how powerful the owner of this land must be.

"Crap, the owner is back!"

Alex looked around to find a place where he could hide from the pursuit of the owner of those poisonous herbs, however, he was unable to find such a place in a short period of time.

He knew, with the owner's strength, it'll not be long before he'll be able to catch up to him.

He was still thinking when suddenly, he heard a wagging sound in the air.

"Hiss!"

Before he could even turn to see the source of this sound, the Soaring Centipede suddenly flew above his head and let out a hiss.

Immediately after, a person fell from the sky and landed on the ground with a thud, causing dust to fly everywhere.

"Oh no!"

When Alex saw this, he immediately stopped as his entire being tensed up.

He looked in front of him and saw a red-faced old man. To be more accurate, the old man's face has turned red because of the anger he was feeling in his heart. And to prove that he is angry, his chest kept moving up and down.

"So, you are the thief that dared to steal my herbs. How dare a kid like you... No, wait a moment, this is not right. You are only a little kid at the Golden Core Stage. It is impossible for you to break the maze formation that I laid down!"

What?

This time, Alex was really shocked but the reason behind his shock was different.

The maze formation is something that this old man had laid down?

Does it mean that the maze formation was not one of the illusion formations of Nine Small Illusions?

What is going on?

He has clearly copied the Nine Small Formations and knew one of the illusion formations in Nine Small Illusions is a maze formation.

But if the maze formation was laid down by this old man, then...

'What the hell is going on here?'

Alex couldn't help but shout loudly in his heart. However, this is not the right time to think these things. He has to think of ways to get out from the clutches of this old man.
