_Floating Cloud Academy_
In front of Floating Cloud Academy's entrance, a young man suddenly appeared out of nowhere, startling the two guards standing there.
This young man suddenly appeared as if he has just teleported. It was really a shocking scene to behold and witness. How could the two guards not be shocked when they see this?
Alex looked at the entrance of the Floating Cloud Academy and remembered the time when he came here for the first time. He was riding the Black Feathered Eagle at that time and was just brought to the Floating Cloud Academy from the Jade City along with nine other people.
"Wh-Who are you?"
The two guards were startled at first and when they felt the aura emitting from Alex's body, they were frightened. They felt pressure like a mountain descending on their heads. They did not dare to raise their heads for some time.
However, since they are guarding the entrance of the academy, it is their job to ask who this person is. So, one of them gathered some courage and asked.
Alex also came back to his senses when he heard the guard's voice. He looked at them and hurriedly controlled his aura, making the guards feel relieved in their hearts and body as well. Then he spoke: "Eh, don't mind me. I used to be a disciple here, but was brought to one of the Three Cultivation Lands a few years back."
"Eh, so you are our senior!" The two guards exclaimed in shock. One of them hurriedly greeted him, saying: "Welcome back, senior!"
"Please!"
As the two guards gestured at Alex, Alex smiled, nodded at them, and walked inside. At the same time, he tossed something at the two guards.
When the two of them caught that thing, they were shocked. They looked at each other and spoke at the same time: "We have made a fortune. We could now easily break through to Innate Stage!"
"But he said he went to one of the Three Cultivation Lands. What is that?" One of the guards frowned and asked.
The other one also shrugged his head, saying: "Who knows? Maybe, it is a place where there is dense spirit energy and is a holy place for cultivation. Anyway, we only entered the academy less than two years, and we still don't know many things. After all, we are not even Inner Disciples yet!"
.....
Not long after Alex entered the sect, he came across the place where the talent test was taken by a few elders of the Floating Cloud Academy. He could not help but smile when he thought about the time he was giving the talent test.
At that time, before the test even started, he had replicated lots of talents and merged with them, resulting in attracting the attention of the Third Elder of Inner Sect when his result came out!
Just as Alex was about to leave, he saw a middle-aged man he was familiar with. This man was none other than Rodion Volkov, the deacon elder who brought him to the Floating Cloud Academy from the Jade City.
Although Alex saw him, he has no intention of going there and meeting this man. He just silently threw a pill that directly landed in his pocket without him noticing.
After that, Alex started wandering around. He went to many places he was familiar with and saw many disciples he had once seen, even the people of the White Family such as Gavin and Ethan.
But he did not go to meet anyone.
After some time, he finally arrived at a familiar place. This place used to be the courtyard he was accommodated to live when he was still in the Floating Cloud Academy.
Sighing, Alex smiled and thought to enter the courtyard when he suddenly saw a drunken old man coming toward the courtyard.
He could not be more familiar with this drunken old man. This man was Gatlin, the previous sect master of Profound Star Sect and the person who told Alex about the Dragon Egg in the Forbidden Ground of the sect.
At first, Alex was really determined to obtain this dragon egg, however, he never found the opportunity to enter the Forbidden Ground.
And also, from the moment he contracted the little Light Devouring Beast, he had no intention of obtaining the Dragon Egg at all.
Of course, Alex was completely unaware of the fact that the Dragon Egg was already stolen by Cedric, Rayan, and Shivika.
Alex looked at the information panel of Gatlin and saw that it was exactly the same as what he remembered. Nothing changed at all!

With his current strength, it was very easy for Alex to break the seal that was causing Gatlin to become an ordinary person even though he had the cultivation base of a Martial Emperor Stage warrior.
When Alex saw him, a smile appeared on his face. This old man was someone who had left a deep impression on Alex. At that time, Alex was still weak after all, not to mention, this old man was quite shameless.
"Senior, it's been a long time!" Alex suddenly appeared in front of Gatlin and smiled. "How have you been!"
Gatlin was startled at first, but when he saw who it is, a smile also appeared on his face as he spoke: "So it is you!"
After that, both of them had a small talk and went inside the courtyard. Only now did Alex get to know that after he had left, Gatlin started leaving here. And because of Gatlin's special "status" in the academy, no one dared to cause trouble for him.
Gatlin also asked about Dragon Egg, but Alex shook his head and said that although he entered the Profound Star Sect, he never got the opportunity to enter the Forbidden Ground of the sect and look for the Dragon Egg. He also told Gatlin that he is not exactly interested in the Dragon Egg.
After that, Alex told Gatlin that he was going to give Gatlin a big surprise.
Gatlin frowned at first and had no idea what big surprise Alex was talking about. But since Alex has already said, Gatlin did not say anything and simply closed his eyes as Alex demanded.
And then he felt Alex's finger circling around his chest.
The next moment, "Ka-cha", Gatlin felt a chain that was wrapping around his dantian suddenly shattering, causing a burst of spirit energy to surge all over his body the next moment.
"This...?"
Gatlin was shocked. He could not be more shocked. At the same time, his face revealed an expression of disbelief. He could not believe that the restriction sealing his cultivation has broken just like that!
He looked at Alex. Unimaginable shock could be seen on his face.
How long has it been?
It hasn't been even ten years since Alex went to the Middle Land and enter the Profound Star Sect, but now, he has become strong enough to break the restriction placed on his cultivation with just a gentle touch of his finger at his chest.
But why his chest?
From the moment his cultivation was sealed, he could always feel the chains of order wrapping around his dantian, tightly binding it, not letting even an ounce of spirit energy from entering or exiting the dantian.
And the dantian is located at the lower abdomen. But Alex touched his chest to break the restriction.
How did he do that?
What is the logic behind this?
Most importantly, just how strong Alex has become.
Alex could see these questions in Gatlin's eyes clearly. He laughed and said: "Actually, although your cultivation is sealed completely, you didn't notice that the source that was constantly providing energy for the restriction to stay active as your heart."
As Alex said, he pointed at the wine gourd hanging on his waist and spoke again: "You might not have noticed, but the spirit wine that you constantly drink actually also kept saving your life throughout all this time. Otherwise, you would have been dead long ago."
"The spirit wine provided enough spirit energy to appear in your body that the restriction needed to stay active and suppress your cultivation. And your heart was the medium for the restriction to constantly absorb that energy."
"If you have not been drinking spirit wine, the restriction would have devoured your blood to stay active. And it would have only been deactivated when there would not have been a single drop of blood left in your body. And at that time, you would have already been dead!"
