Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Alex wondered how the Sky God knew about his ability to travel the Void. Had she used her Half-God powers to consult with the Heavens for this information? As he thought of that, he felt that the likelier possibility was that Bladedance had already told her.

Bladedance had sent along some messages before coming here and had also received some information in return, so she might have explained how she escaped. So it made sense that the Sky God would be perfectly aware of her departure.

The Sky God turned her gaze away from Alex and Bladedance to the rest around them. ”Ronron, could I ask you to introduce the rest to me?”

”Yes!” Ronron quickly said, pointing to Scarlet, who was closest to her. ”This is Aunt Scarlet. She is a Vermilion Bird that is bonded to my father.”

”Scarlet,” the Sky God said, turning toward her. ”I hear you are one of the young Heavenly Beasts that is sent to the lower realm to govern it on behalf of the treaty we established.”

”Y-yes,” Scarlet said, nearly tripping over her words. ”That is correct, Your Majesty.”

The Sky God ignored her flustered looks and turned toward Pearl.

”This is Uncle Pearl. He is a White Tiger and is also bonded to my father,” Ronron explained.

The Sky God looked toward Pearl with slightly narrowed eyes. ”I’m sure I sense more than just the White Tiger from you, don’t I?” she asked. ”You have the bloodline of another Heavenly Beast.”

Pearl was surprised. ”You are right, Your Majesty. I am an Azure Dragon as well.”

”Interesting,” the woman said in a strange voice. ”A Heavenly Beast

that has two bloodlines. That is certainly strange. Although, perhaps not as strange as what I’m sensing over here.”

Her eyes turned toward Alex.

Alex blinked for a moment, curious what she was referring to. He didn’t think there was anything he was exuding that should have surprised her.

”How is it possible that you have the bloodline of all the Heavenly Beasts within your body?” the Sky God asked.

Alex’s eyes widened in shock.

Even Bladedance turned toward him with an unexpected look. ”You have what now?”

”How...”

His concealment technique should have been active at all moments, hiding his aura from everyone. Considering even Celestials weren’t able to sense the bloodline aura of the Heavenly Beasts, he was certain he was safe from anyone else sensing it as well.

However, the Sky God had spoken about it so simply that he could not understand how she had sensed it. The only explanation he had was that she consulted with the Heavens.

Or she had used her Half-God powers in ways that he did not understand. There could be no other possibilities.

”Am I wrong?” the Sky God asked.

”N-no,” Alex said quickly. ”You’re not wrong, Your Majesty. I do have all of their bloodlines, although I do not receive much benefit from them. I simply had the chance to take in their bloodlines, and I accepted it.” ”Is that so?” the Sky God asked, not bothering to pull on that thread anymore. Her eyes turned away from Alex and waited for Ronron to continue explaining.

”There’s Uncle Whisker,” Ronron said, pointing to the tiny mouse.

Whisker was currently sitting next to Pearl.

”A Seeking Mouse with a cultivation base,” the Sky God said with some hints of surprise in her voice. ”You had told me about this before, and I found it difficult to believe. But now that he is here, I can only

wonder how his existence is possible at all.”

”I do not know much in regards to that, Master,” Ronron said.

”I understand. If I don’t understand something, I would never expect you to,” the Sky God said, looking away from the group.

Ronron’s eyes moved as well, turning toward Battlesage.

”I... don’t know who this senior is. I have never seen him before,”

Ronron answered.

”I am Battlesage, a resident of Hell,” Battlesage answered.

”Bladedance told me about you,” the Sky God said. ”I am told that you

are very old.”

”I appear to be,” Battlesage said. ”From what I understand, I may be the oldest person currently alive.”

”Not the oldest,” Bladedance corrected him. ”I fear there are some Heavenly Beasts that are older than you are.”

”Is that so?” Battlesage asked. ”I was under the impression that I might genuinely be the oldest person around. So there are beasts that are

older than me, huh?”

”You wouldn’t even be the oldest as a human,” the Sky God said. ”There are a few who are older than you.”

Alex raised an eyebrow. He had known about the Heavenly Beasts being quite old, especially because their Immortal Tribulations happened once every 15 thousand years instead of just 10 thousand. years, effectively giving them a 50% longer lifespan than anyone else

out there.

That same rule most definitely didn’t apply to humans, however, so

the only reason there were humans that were older than Battlesage was likely because they never went through their final Immortal Tribulation and lived out their days in space, where they could live eternally so long as they had a supply of Qi.

There was one other special point about this that the Sky God had gotten wrong that even Bladedance had apparently not noticed at all. While they talked about Battlesage as a human, he was technically a demon.

Alex still didn’t understand if there was any fundamental difference between humans and demons, but Battlesage was a demon who had simply never been in the presence of Yin long enough to grow his horns and had thus missed the opportunity in his youth.

Due to that, he could pass as a human right now. Ronron seemingly understood that the conversation had moved on,

so she turned to the final person as well.

”And lastly, this is Sister Hao Ya. She is your grand-disciple.”

Newheaven’s eyes widened slightly.

”I see,” she said, turning to Hao Ya. ”You must be Renye’s disciple.”
