Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Alex’s strange reaction caused the Sky God to grow curious why that was so.

”Why do you think you would die?” she asked with a hint of a smile on her face.

”Well... from what I understand, you’ve helped Ronron improve her Soul Space’s size, have you not?” Alex asked. ”She has mentioned using a decently sized Space Stone to enlarge her own Soul Space, so it must be quite huge. I have no clue if I can fit such a big Soul Space into my own.”

The Sky God’s expression became a bit more understanding and she gave a slow nod. ”Based on your understanding of the situation, that is indeed how things would go, so I am not surprised you would be scared to even try.”

”Based on my understanding?” Alex asked, catching on to what she was saying. ”Do you mean to say that things aren’t the way I have come to understand them, Senior?”

”Yes, that’s exactly right,” Newheaven answered. ”You are indeed correct in almost every assumption except for a single one.”

Alex blinked. ”And that would be?”

”The size of the Space Stone she used,” Newheaven answered.

Alex frowned slightly, his eyes narrowing a little. ”Did I perhaps overestimate how large of a Space Stone she used? Is her Soul Space smaller than mine?”

”It almost assuredly is. I tried finding the biggest Space Stone I could find for Ronron, but that is not an easy task. Even when I did my best, the one I found was no larger than perhaps two-thirds of the one you used. So, unless you ended up using it worse than we did, I would be very much surprised if Ronron’s Soul Space is nearly as big as yours.”

Alex nodded slowly. ”I see.”

”On that note, how big exactly is your Soul Space?” the Sky God asked. ”Have you ever measured it?”

”Not really,” Alex answered. ”It’s too big for me to measure myself. My senses don’t even come close enough to cover the tiniest part of it.”

The Sky God chuckled. ”That makes sense. The Space Stone you used was one of the bigger ones. I don’t know if you know this, but the teleportation formation down below used to be able to perform as an Interrealm Teleportation formation before, which used the Space Stone you used at its core.”

”It was one of the bigger Space Stones, as the formation was created by my master to be able to teleport to not just any nearby Immortal realm, but to any realm throughout the world, Immortal or not. Human or not. There does not exist another Space Stone as large as that one.”

”When Renye ran with the treasures he stole, he also stole that Space Stone, taking it away with him, making it impossible for us to follow him,” she explained. ”Any Space Stone I could find for your daughter after that was not big enough. In fact, there are Space Stones out there currently being used in other Interrealm Teleportation formations that are bigger than the one your daughter used.”

Alex was quite surprised to hear that. He had known that the Space Stone he had ended up using was the same one used for an Interrealm Teleportation formation, but he could never have imagined that it was one that was used in such an important one. Furthermore, from what he understood, it was easily one of the biggest Space Stones out there.

”What about your Soul Space, Senior?” Alex asked. ”Is it larger than mine?”

The Sky God grinned. ”My master did not dare use a small one on me. The one I used was about twice the size you used. It was easily the second largest Space Stone I had ever seen in my life.”

Alex nodded slowly. ”The biggest one must have been the one the previous Sky God used then.”

”Actually, no,” Newheaven answered. ”I’m not entirely sure what size of Space Stone my master used. He did mention that it was a big one, but I do not believe it was the biggest. The biggest Space Stone I have ever seen was in fact used in the same formation by the cliff. It was multiple times the size of the one you or I used. It was a behemoth of a Space Stone.”

Alex could see a look of pure awe on the Sky God’s face when she remembered the Space Stone from the past. Seeing that, he couldn’t help but be curious.

”What happened to it?”

The Sky God’s face fell slightly before she let out a sigh. ”It was stolen long ago, which was why we had to replace it, which also ended up being stolen.”

”Stolen?” Alex couldn’t believe his ears. ”Who would dare steal from the—”

He paused, the barest hint of an idea forming on his face. He couldn’t be entirely sure, but he had a feeling that he had heard of the tale a long time before.

The Sky God noticed Alex’s expression. ”Do you know about it?”

He slowly nodded. ”It was the Godkiller, I presume.”

The Sky God gave a mirthless chuckle. ”It was indeed him. He took it away, making it impossible for anyone to follow him. And thanks to him, my disciple got the brilliant idea to do the same.”

Alex had indeed heard the story from both Renye and Bai Jingshen. Although, they never mentioned what happened to the Space Stone. Could it perhaps be in Godkiller’s tomb?

”Well, that is all to say that your Soul Space is indeed quite large,” the Sky God answered. ”Still, it would make sense to err on the side of caution. So, before I let Ronron cultivate inside your Soul Space, I will first have her test your Soul Space.”

Alex’s eyes widened a little. ”Test my Soul Space? We can do that?”

”We have the tool for it, so yes,” the Sky God answered. ”It was created specifically with our physique in mind, so it can test Soul Spaces of massive sizes. Ronron has already tested herself, so she can help you test yours.”
