Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

”Sorry, you said you don’t need a cultivation method at all. Can you explain that?” the host asked shocked at what he had just heard.

”Yes. What I mean is my body can gather Qi on its own which I can then use to breakthrough without needing to learn a cultivation technique. If I had relied on the mortal grade technique that was gifted to me when I first created my character, I would have probably still been stuck at the self tempering realm like a lot of others,” Hannah said.

”Oh, so does that mean that you breakthrough continuously without needing to stop at all?” the host asked.

”Theoretically, yes. But realistically, No,” she replied.

The host got confused at that answer. So did the rest of the people watching the interview. ”Can you elaborate?” the host asked.

”Of course. What I mean is that while I can go on breaking through forever, I don’t do that. A bit recently, I came to learn that breaking through one after another without having a stable cultivation base first is really bad for you.”

”I’m sure everyone here can attest to the fact that they are weaker than their peers in the game who are at the same cultivation base. All because we didn’t spend much time in each individual realm, trying to become the best at that realm before moving on to the next one. I am regretting not learning about this beforehand.”

The host looked with wide eyes. ”I didn’t know anything about this at all.” He then turned to the camera and said, ”There you have it, folks. If you aren’t at a high enough realm yet, this is your time to fix your cultivation right now.”

”Now, since spiritual roots don’t add anything to cultivation itself, we will skip asking the guests about that. So, let’s move on to another topic of today’s show, The geography of Eternal Cultivation.

”Many of you viewers might already think you know this, but I promise you don’t. This is exclusive information that only 3 of our guests today knew. Others were completely in the unknown about this.”

Suddenly, a massive picture appeared on the screen behind the host and the guests. The picture consisted of a blue background with 4 irregular pieces on all 4 sides. It was a map.

Alex looked at it and wondered, ’What is that giant blue thing in the back?’

”This is the map of Eternal Cultivation, or at least an estimation of it since no one has really seen a true map of it yet. To all the viewers who have never seen a map of the game, you are in for a big surprise.”

The host stood up and moved to the picture. ”Look at this,” he said as he pointed at the blue sections on the map. ”Can you guys guess what this is?” he asked the oblivious viewers and audience.

”This… is… Water,” he spoke trying to create suspense. ”These,” he gestured to all the blue parts of the map and said, ”are all water. It is called an ocean. It houses more water than the land in the world itself.”

The audience gasped. They had never heard of this ’Ocean’ thing and when they saw that so much of the game was just water, they were surprised. Alex himself was quite surprised too.

’If the blue is the water, then the different 4 objects on the map have to be land right? Even if the left most land is half the size of our world, that is still so much water.’

His eyes shined brightly as he looked at the thing. ’Ocean… what a fantastical thing.’

The host continued, ”Now, look at the lands themselves. We have 2 green ones on the east and west that are similar to our own world, full of mountains, trees and rivers and ponds and cities. The north one, however, is fully clad in snow… all year round.”

”Yes, the same snow that only occurs once a while on the northern area of our own real world. The northern lands are forever covered in the snow. The south, however, is perhaps more so bizarre. The southern land is actually covered in sand, all of it. There is not a single place that doesn’t have sand in there,” the host said.

Alex was listening intently to the new information he was learning through the host. ’Forever snowing land? Place all covered in sand? What sort of mystical land are these? The developers must have really gone above and beyond preparing the world for this game,’ he thought.

”This land full of sand is called a desert. This southern continent is just a giant desert, through and through.”

”Now, for the thing that is the most surprising of it all. For that, I will have to explain what Continents are. These all 4 lands are called Continents,” the host said.

’That was what sister told me,’ Alex thought.

”Continents are massive pieces of land on the ocean where the game actually takes place. Unlike our own real world, these lands have an actual edge to them. In our real world, if you walk in a straight direction, you will reach the endless forests and if you walk through the endless forests, you will just fall off the edge into the void and die. ”

”But in this place, if you walk in a straight line, you would just reach the water. No worries about falling off and dying,” the host said.

”Now, imagine the world we live in, all the 17 different cities with the nearly billion people was a circle, okay. Now look at this,” the host said. Suddenly a circle appeared on the Northern continent that was always frozen.

However, the circle that appeared on it was about the size of a door handle on a door. The host then spoke. ”This is how big the lands in Eternal Cultivation are. Just the Northern Continent alone is about 40 times the size of our own world.”

”You can see why I would call it very surprising.”
