Pouch.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

A colossal surge of energy erupted from the needle, piercing through the air like a bolt of lightning. The needle, propelled by an unseen force, flew directly into Alex's mind.

"WHAT IS HAPPENING?!" Grand Elder Li was baffled and frustrated. His intention was to feed on Alex's cultivation before killing him, but the situation had taken a bewildering turn.

"[VIPERS ASCENSION]!!!"

The golden viper that Grand Elder Li summoned shattered into particles of light as the colossal energy clashed with it.

Meanwhile, the explosion outside drew the attention of everyone present. The massive pillar of white light was a spectacle that sent shockwaves through the surroundings, inciting panic and confusion.

"What is happening!!!"

"IS IT END OF THE WORLD???!!"

"HELP!!!"

Everyone was very confused what was happening, Elders tried to do something but,

But as abruptly as it appeared, the light vanished, leaving the witnesses bewildered and astonished.

Inside the room, Alex felt a transformation within himself. His body resonated with energy, his wounds healing rapidly as if they were never there. He sensed a newfound power coursing through him, elemental energy awakening within.

Amidst the prompts that materialized, Alex's mind was consumed by the events unfolding.

"DIE!!!" Grand Elder Li launched another attack, but Alex's body seemed to resist his efforts, the energy around him forming an invisible barrier.

"How is this... GAGHYY!!!" Grand Elder Li's own attack rebounded as Alex's grip on him tightened.

"What's wrong, sadistic old man?" Alex's voice dripped with contempt. "Did you enjoy torturing me? Well, now you get a taste of your own medicine." With a sinister grin, Alex invoked a new technique. "[Soul Sword Technique]"

"AGHHGHGHYYY!!! HELP ME, SECT MASTER!!!" Grand Elder Li's soul was subjected to agonizing torment, a pain so intense that words failed to describe it.

"It's good I'm not the cruel piece of shit I was when I came back from the military, or I would take your mouth and stick it up your ass so hard you'd feel your shit staining your mouth hole, you fucking bitch." Alex's voice was laced with fury as he snapped the elder's neck, ending his sadistic reign. he was flying like an evil superhero, his eyes shined with a white light that was yet to disappear in space... Now Alex Looked extremely terrifying.

With the elder defeated, Alex turned his attention to the formation, "Let's see what i almost died for." the source of his tribulations. Summoning his strength, he unleashed a mighty strike that obliterated the formation's barriers and shattered the door leading to the treasury. but before that, he looked at the carvings as he noticed different types of descriptions of something... "This looks like... anyway who cared let's go to the main desert of this place."

As he entered the treasury, Alex's eyes widened at the treasures before him. "Oh My gOD!!!"

An assortment of armor, weapons, pills, and potions filled the room. But amidst the excitement, he was puzzled about how to retrieve these items. "FUCK MAN!!! HOW DO I TAKE THIS THINGS!!!" He was really frustrated right now, Alex sighed and looked around.

Amidst the marbles, armor, and weapons, he encountered a peculiar pouch emitting an enigmatic darkness. Intrigued, he investigated it, only to be engulfed by darkness. Unsure of its purpose, Alex knew he had much to learn.

"(I need to learn more about these treasures and techniques in the future.)" Frustration tugged at him, but he pressed forward, surveying the room and gathering items that caught his attention. it was a brown-looking pouch that was just sitting there mysteriously.

Gathering his loot, Alex took whatever he could take, He took things that looked expensive looking.

"Oh hello there." He stopped on one thing, it was a dagger extremely black dagger with some purple on it, it looked like a cosmic design, Alex was fan of shooter games and the thing he put on his skins were planets in the games, he also used many daggers after guns in the military.

"Its time to go now." Alex decided not to be greedy and too heavy to take anything.

Alex's focus shifted to escape, yet a sudden noise disrupted his plans. Frustration mounting, he accidentally triggered the pouch again, causing his prized dagger to be absorbed. He instantly panicked, this was one thing he actually liked and wanted to take. but that was the thing that fell into a fucking black hole? Alex immediately went towards the pouch and put hand actually in the pouch.

"NO!!! NO NO!!! FUCK!!!"

His distress transformed into determination as he struggled to retrieve his lost possession. He did retrive his dagger but he also noticed something about this pouch "This thing didn't feel i put my hands in some kind of pouch, it felt more like a... WAIT IS THIS SOME KIND OF STORAGE TREASURE???!!" Alex immediately took his pills and put inside of the storage treasure, he was right, it was indeed what he thought it was.

Alex was overjoyed, he remembered learning about this stuff in the Sect, it was one of the necessary things for the Cultivators, it was something that you could store your treasures in, Alex didn't know which quality this was but it stored more than few hundred kilograms and could do more... Alex immediately put all the things he deemed useful in the pouch trying to fill it up to the brim.

However, his respite was short-lived, as powerful auras approached. Realizing he was out of time, Alex used the pouch to collect as much as he could, stashing the most valuable and smallest items before leaving the treasury.

"Time to escape," Alex muttered, his heart racing as he left the room and the mountain peak, he was also very fast after unlocking his ability to fly. his stolen treasures hidden within the mysterious pouch.
