Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

?Alex teleported next to an old man in the distance, arriving at his side where the old man would have to twist his body around to protect himself.

Alex slashed once, creating an explosion in front of him that immediately covered the old man in flames of terrible might.

He stepped away from the flames as an attack flew toward him carrying the might of a Saint Transformation 9th realm cultivator.

As Alex dodged it, a person flew at him, trying to drive a spear through his heart. Hannah’s sword flashed and a storm of Water Qi moved past the person that was about to attack Alex.

Two more soldiers had to come to protect the person at the last moment.

Alex took the opportunity to teleport back toward his sister who was holding on her own.

“Are you okay?” Hannah asked.

“I’m fine,” Alex answered.

“I see Huan back there,” Hannah said. “I don’t think we’re making it to the Emperor this way. We need to back down.” .𝒎

Alex didn’t want to do that at all. He released a soft sigh as he tried thinking of what choices he even had. The number of soldiers that had gathered at the Emperor’s side had continued increasing and even though they had killed a few, more battalion leaders were joining the battle, causing them to slow down on their progress toward the Dragon Emperor.

The Dragon Emperor was in the distance, relaxed next to his soldier as he watched the battlefield with cold eyes. He had been resting while Alex and Hannah had been continuously fighting for the past many minutes.

This was bad. Even if they managed to break through these soldiers somehow and arrived in front of the Dragon Emperor again, they would be tired and low on Qi, while the Dragon Emperor would be well rested and ready to fight again.

Alex couldn’t let that happen.

With a part of his senses, he could see the entire battlefield. While he had only been focusing mostly on the battle, he still had part of his senses looking out for any abnormalities in the war, and he had long since been waiting for one.

His father had left the Teleportation building on his word and now the teleportation formation was free to be used once more. And it was being used.

One by one, people were coming out of the teleportation formation just as he had hoped. At first, it had been the soldiers who had been diligently waiting to be transferred to the other side for quite some time.

That had added to the number of soldiers on the battlefield once again. However, because of what his father had done there, most of the soldiers had instead chosen to fly directly to the capital.

As such, most of the teleportation buildings were empty. So, what came from them afterward were not soldiers, but instead, people who had heard the words of the second prince, and heard the battle cry of the soldier who had been betrayed by his Emperor.

They were people who had come to, hopefully, aid Alex and the army opposing the Dragon Emperor.

And of course, these weren’t just any regular people. They were the ancestors, clan leaders, sect masters, family heads, elders, and anyone strong enough to handle their own in the war.

They were high-ranking individuals of the cultivation society, and they had arrived just as Alex had hoped.

“We should start moving back,” Alex messaged Hannah and started fighting to slowly move back again. They would have to reconvene with the army and destroy the opposing army together before moving for the Dragon Emperor.

As Alex and Hannah started making their way back through the many soldiers that surrounded them, fighters gathered on the battlefield, all of whom looked toward someone to look to.

Yan Yating quickly approached everyone and asked them to stay aside for a moment as he could tell that the newly arrived people didn’t wish to fight right away.

Instead, they wished to confirm that what they had heard was true. They gathered in a group of nearly 5000 strong within 10 minutes and nearly demanded the truth from both sides of the battlefield.

They had enough people with them, that both sides of the war felt the urgency to stop and wait before this was resolved.

“Fellow Daoists, thank you for coming here,” Yan Yating spoke with a small bow toward the many people who were gathered there.

His heart skipped at the sight of many recognizable figures, all of whom had influences and fame of their own.

The leader of the Heavens Cleaver sect and his two great disciples stood to the side with their chests puffed proudly.

The master of the Ice Mist Palace flew with a group of fairy-like female cultivators next to her, all of whom were in the Saint Transformation realm.

The ancestor of the Realms Beyond Sect, who once used to be its sect leader, had arrived with the sect leader and a few elders of the sect.

Similarly, many other sects and families had arrived and were now waiting outside the war for someone to approach them and tell them what was in fact true. They wanted proof and so they waited for it.

“Brother Yan,” a person moved toward Yan Yating. It was an ancestor from the Huang Family of the Silver Kingdom. “It is good to see you alive. Would you mind explaining what is happening? Why it is that you, who we had thought dead, are now back? And why you are against the Emperor?”

“I believe I have explained myself perfectly already. Long Tiankong did something horrible and now he must be punished for it,” Yan Yating said.

“By horrible, you mean the Azure Dragon’s death? Is the Azure Dragon truly dead?” another person asked.

“Yes,” Yan Yating said. “I cannot do anything more than confirm what you already heard. I am bound by oaths to not speak of the horrible matter that happened that day where I was forced by another oath to participate in.”

Many looked at Yan Yating with a look of pity, but many also looked at him with a look of doubt.

“And what about everything else that has been said about the Emperor? Is that true too?” someone else asked. “His Highness, the second prince, if that was even him, said a lot about His Majesty.”

“I am not aware of everything else, but I can assure you that it is more than likely true,” Yan Yating said. “I was not there, but many of my colleagues who left the Empire’s army after me can surely confirm it all to you.”

“Yan Yating!” a voice called out suddenly.

Yan Yating turned around and saw a figure approaching him and the group from the distance.

Long Huogang, one of the three Heads of the Head Legion, arrived next to the group.

“How dare you go against His Majesty,” the man pointed toward Yan Yating accusingly as he spoke. “Do you have no shame?”

“My shame was wrenched away from me the day your Emperor made me do what I did not wish to do, Long Huogang,” Yan Yating said. “And I see that you’ve left yours behind. You still chose to assist him even after knowing the entire truth.”
