Vivian placed her hands next to her on the ground and was about to push herself up when Rocky opened his eyes and said, "Don't move. The devil spirit's power caused a lot of damage to your body, especially to your meridians. It would be wise to not use your spiritual power for a while."
"Ha! I'm not as weak as I look! Where is Alex?" Vivian asked, crossing her arms over her chest. She put up a facade of strength because she didn't want anyone to pity her.
"She is cultivating outside of the cave. Last night, I gave her a cultivation method that she can easily handle," Rocky replied casually.
"What? She's out there all alone? What were you thinking? What if something happened to her?" Vivian stared at Rocky with wide eyes.
"Settle down. She is a Spiritual Emperor at the peak stage, and she has a divine treasure that can summon the beast spirit. What could possibly harm her now?" Rocky responded, shaking his head as a smile spread on his face.
"You are right." Vivian had nearly forgotten that Alex had fused with a deity spirit like she had. Now, there weren't many warriors in the spiritual race that could face her and win.
Just as Vivian was about to say more, Alex stepped into the cave and interrupted her.
"You're awake!" As soon as Alex saw Vivian, she ran towards her.
Vivian tried to hold back her smile, but she couldn't.
"Alex, Vivian will need to rest at least three days before she could walk again. In that time, you should concentrate on your own cultivation," Rocky explained. After a short period of thought, he determined that it was not appropriate for them to head for the snow peak so soon. They had at least half a month left to stay in the Ethereal Valley, so there was time to rest.
"Okay. But before we go to our destination, can we meet Jeffrey and the others at the given location? I'm afraid that they will worry about us," Alex asked hesitantly.
"Okay." Rocky had no objection. Their companions were on the way to the snow peak, so stopping to meet them would make no difference in their path and waste no time.
Over the next three days, Alex focused on cultivating the Water Cultivation Method. It didn't take her long to reach the third stage.
Vivian spent time recovering under Rocky's careful treatment, and her injuries were healed much faster than she expected. At least fifty percent of her injuries were better.
Then, the three of them set off and headed towards Jeffrey and the other teams.
Ten days before the closure of the Ethereal Valley, they arrived at the agreed-upon location. However, they were surprised to see that Jeffrey's team and the other teams weren't there yet. Even the team led by Alex before was nowhere to be seen.
They decided to sit and wait.
Half a day passed, but no one from the Wankong Clan showed up. Instead, the Lingji Clan and the Xiayu clan arrived with their teams.
Ruth, who had been rescued by them in the past, had joined the Lingji Clan's team, and the Xiayu Clan's team was led by Abdullah.
The spirit warriors in the two teams stared at Rocky and the two ladies in shock. None of them had expected the three of them to arrive first.
When Ruth laid her eyes on Rocky, she smiled. She had been sure that Rocky would have been dead in the crystal palace. But he was alive!
Ruth walked up to the three of them under the watchful eyes of the public. "Nice to see my three saviors again!"
"Nice to see you too, Elder Ruth. I have a question for you. On your way here, did you see Jeffrey or any other spirit warriors from our Wankong Clan?" Alex asked in a worried voice.
"No, I didn't." Ruth shook her head. The truth was, she had joined her team very, very recently.
