Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

A massive explosion shook the ground and the air around everyone. Alex was taken aback by the explosion as there should have been none. What there should have been was a burst of blood or a teleportation aura.

The fact that he sensed neither was alarming.

He quickly moved back, readying himself for another attack, but none came. When the dust settled, Alex saw the man standing where he was, fully stunned. Next to him was a bright golden necklace that had stopped the attack.

The man hadn’t used the necklace at all. It was a defensive treasure that worked on its own. That was the reason why the man was stunned as he had realized that without the treasure, he would’ve likely been teleported out.

“I…” the man spoke but was at a loss for words. The attack just now had stunned him a little too much.

Alex ignored the man’s stunned expression and readied his sword for another attack.

“I give up,” the man said quickly, throwing his Saber back into his Soul Space. “It’s my loss.”

Alex paused and stopped his attack. He placed Midnight back into his Soul Space and took a deep breath. The fight hadn’t been difficult, but it had asked him to be at his best, which was draining.

“I won,” Alex said. “So now don’t bother me.”

He ignored the man and went over to the gravestone that was finally free for him to check. Pearl came by and the two began reading the gravestone together.

“Here lies the Body of the founder of the Twin Saber sect, Bao Fengyu, also known in the myriad realms as Reverend Sixghost.”

“There’s no saber there,” the man came up to Alex.

“I just told you not to bother me.”

“No, just trying to help,” the man said. “The sabers aren’t in his grave, so you are only wasting your time searching for it.”

“How can you tell?” Alex asked. “Have they been searched before?”

“No, but I’m keen on Saber aura, and there’s not a lick of it around here,” the man said. “In fact, the only place with Saber aura in this entire secret realm is at the Trueheart plaza, where it was said that the man trained his Saber Heart Dao.”

Alex thought for a moment and nodded. “Thanks for the info.”

“You won a fair fight,” the man said. “I hold nothing against you.”

Alex ignored the man for a moment and looked at the gravestone, trying to see if there was some sort of secret to it. Some puzzles he could solve to reveal a hidden truth.

Alas, it was a very strong, but simple gravestone. The only irregularity on the gravestone at all was the fact that it was said that Sixghost’s ‘body’ was buried here, and not his corpse.

If Alex hadn’t seen the man’s Dao tablet, he would’ve started believing that he was still alive.

“You are quite strong,” the man said from his side. “You might just be strong enough to beat our senior sister.”

“Is she strong?” Alex asked. “I would beat her if we had the same cultivation base, but unfortunately she is a realm ahead of me,” the man said.

“So… an Immortal Ascendant 9th realm cultivator with a Battle Power of 4?” Alex asked.

“Exactly,” the man said with a grin. “What continent are we from? If you’re from the Spring Grass sect, maybe we can get together once in a while to fight.”

“I’m not,” Alex said. “I’m from this very continent.” freёweɓnovel.com

“Oh…” the man said. “Are you from the Blue Silk sect then?”

Alex said nothing.

“Don’t worry, I don’t intend to reveal it to anyone,” the man said. “Are you though?”

Alex got up. “I’ve been here long enough. It’s time for me to leave,” he said. “You can go back to lounging around on the gravestone again.”

“You’re leaving?” the man asked. “But I need to fight. You have to stick around or you’ll get bored.”

“I will let myself get bored once I find the Sabers,” Alex said. “Until then, I’m on a mission here.”

“Damn, you don’t care about anything else, huh?” the man asked.

Alex shrugged and walked away.

“Come back at any time,” the man said as Alex and Pearl walked away.

Alex could hear murmurs from around the place as everyone talked about him. Not a single one of them could understand what sort of trick he was using to hide his cultivation base.

However, even at the worst, Alex had to have a Battle Power of 4 to have beaten the man. And at best, it was above 10. No one could believe it was the latter one, so everyone could only believe that it was the other one.

They hadn’t seen someone as strong as Alex in a while, so they could only revere him as he walked away. Alex walked out of the barrier that surrounded them, appearing outside. Funnily enough, none of the people outside seemed to have bothered watching the fight inside and had entirely missed what had happened.

“Leaving already?” the man in green, who they met when first coming here, spoke. Alex nodded. “Learned everything we could, so it’s time to leave,” he said.

“Learn anything important?” the man asked curiously.

“That the treasure isn’t here,” Alex said and shrugged. “Time to go look for it somewhere else.”

“Well, good luck,” the man said and returned to leisurely sitting around.

Alex and Pearl walked out of the bloody graveyard, noticing the white path that led here directly from the exit of the maze.

Not only that, the medium-sized path that went around the maze also joined right here. They could go to either of the places and make their way to the other side of the maze.

There were two more buildings for them to search here. The TrueHeart Plaza, and whatever the building was far to the front of the secret realm. But given the number of people there, Alex felt that it would be better to let Whisker search it when he had the time.

Whisker was currently in the other garden, checking through it. From what Alex could see through his eyes, that garden was an exact replica of the first one, but inverted.

As for the people within it, there was a significantly lesser number of people there. Alex believed that to be in part thanks to him. While the other garden had 60 people, this one had no more than 40. Had there always been this small number of people, or had some left after what he had done?

Alex could not be bothered to give more thought to that. He ignored all questions regarding the people that had come from outside and focused only on the treasure he had to find.

“Will the maze hold the treasure within it?” Pearl asked.

“I cannot be sure,” Alex said. “But we will have to complete the maze at least once to make sure that is not the way to find the treasure.”

Pearl nodded. He liked finding different treasures inside of the maze, albeit with not much use to him, so he was excited to go back.

And this time, they were going to go through the back end of the maze.
