Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Alex knew they weren’t out of the danger zone yet. Far from it. There was still so much that could go wrong.

Qing Tianchui’s Soul Confluence came directly from his energy, so every second he used it, it was his very own body being spent. And the more he spent, the weaker he would become, causing the overall Soul Confluence to grow weaker.

The fact that he was helping an Immortal was already taxing enough, so now trying to do that while lacking Soul Confluence resonance by a considerable margin was worrying.

In fact, it wasn’t even just a possibility at this point that Pearl’s father would die long before he helped Pearl. It was pretty much a

guarantee. If there had ever been a chance that he would have survived, it was washed away the moment the Soul Confluence failed to become perfect.

Based on Alex’s quick calculations, Qing Tianchui would die long before Pearl was ready to continue on his own. Meaning if Qing Tianchui died, Pearl was going to die as well.

Thankfully, he had Blood Aura he could pass along that would work. For that, however, he would need to stop the Time Dao. And since Alex wasn’t part of the group who the Dao was affecting, the time for that was approaching quickly.

Alex looked at Pearl’s face, seeing him continue to struggle against the pain. The White Tiger had likely long since forgotten where he was and what he was doing. The only mission for him in this scenario was

to survive.

Alex’s own spiritual energy was depleting quickly, and soon, he wouldn’t have this strong spiritual energy. Without it, he wouldn’t be able to find Pearl’s soul and isolate it from his body.

All Alex could hope now was that enough of Pearl would have

improved by the time he had to stop the Dao.

Minutes passed quickly, approaching an hour. Nearly 20 hours had passed for Pearl in that time. Even though his regular body had only advanced a single hour, his mind and soul experienced things differently. So, for the past 20 hours, he had been feeling the same exact pain the entire time.

The only consolation here was that the pain hadn’t increased, thus signifying that his soul was gradually catching up to how far his body had changed. Because of Alex, the gap had been reduced.

But it wouldn’t be for long.

Alex had to force himself to stop the Dao. Even though he could continue for maybe 10 more minutes before his spiritual sea was fully empty, there was a bigger issue he had to take care of.

He immediately arrived next to Qing Tianchui and flooded his body with Blood Aura. The conversion wasn’t efficient. The proper thing to do would be to let him use blood to slowly recover. But since there was no time for that, Alex had to take this absurd approach.

Alex let the beast devour all the Blood Aura he had within him, and even then barely only half of Qing Tianchui’s resources had recovered. Alex discarded the blood in his body now that it was devoid of Blood Aura, and his Undying Physique helped him recover it instantly.

Alex filled the dragon once again, this time pushing it closer to full. Only then did he move away and return to Pearl’s side. He ate a pill to restore his mental energy and used what he had to find Pearl’s soul again and use his Dao on just that.

The Azure Dragon was slowed again, and the whole thing started

once more.

Alex kept his focus on Pearl’s soul this time, not letting it out of his sight. Since his stronger spiritual energy was going to disappear soon, he wouldn’t be able to find Pearl’s soul again. Eating the pill a second

time consecutively would vastly reduce its effect, so there wouldn’t even be a point to eating the pill the second time.

So, all Alex could do was continue for as long as he could, as this would be the last time he could.

Pearl’s body had made a great enough improvement the last time he took in the blood, and that blood still coursed through his veins, improving his body still. It was far slower than what he started with, but even at a snail’s pace, it was improving.

As such, the pain was still unbearable, the agony making him wish it would all stop. But he didn’t. He persevered. He could not let

everyone’s sacrifice go to waste.

He held on as much as he could, even when his pain lasted for more than days.

The rest watched with bated breaths, not even daring to breathe. They did not want to miss anything.

Alex opened his eyes and the Time Dao faded from him. He staggered a little, struggling to stay conscious. He had tried to keep going for as long as he could, but this time around, he couldn’t even last a single

hour.

He stood up quickly, barely managing to balance himself, before moving toward Qing Tianchui. The dragon had run out of a lot of energy as well.

Alex transferred more Blood Aura over to him, and even before Qing Tianchui was full, Alex ran out of Qi. He ate a pill quickly to help replenish his Qi, but that was a temporary measure that didn’t give him the same quality of Qi.

He still used it to generate more Blood Aura and gave it to the Azure Dragon. This time, however, he noticed something he hadn’t before.

Qing Tianchui had been continuing Soul Confluence for nearly 2 days now, that too on an Immortal. Because of that, the Blood Core that was at the center of his blood beast being was beginning to

deteriorate.

Alex needed to stop that from happening, but the only thing that could help him at this point was if Qing Tianchui stopped and rested

inside the Blood God’s Manual.

But he wouldn’t stop. He couldn’t stop.

At this point, all he could do was help Pearl as much as he could with what power he had, and hope that would be enough to push him to the finish line.
