Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Alex remained stunned for a moment, trying to wrap his head around what had just happened.

He looked toward the well, wondering if what he had heard had been the spirit of the wells. How else would one be able to use Time Dao around him without being next to him?

However, the fact that he couldn’t sense anything of that sort from the well discouraged his guess. He couldn’t help but wonder if there truly was a person or a beast who did this.

Either way, spirit or human, the one that had talked to him just now had been a very strong individual.

Liz suddenly gasped and reached down to stop herself from falling.

“Aunt Liz,” Alex quickly grabbed her, worried.

Liz gasped for air like a person drowning. She heavily breathed in and out for a few seconds before calming down.

Alex had already pulled a few pills out for her just in case, but Liz shook her head before her breathing started becoming normal.

“Are you alright? What happened?” Alex asked.

“Did you feel it? Did you hear him?” she asked.

Alex’s eyes narrowed. “Who?” he asked, wondering if his Aunt had been contacted by the same person.

“Someone talked to me just now,” Liz said. “So powerful. I couldn’t do anything. His control of Dao was so much stronger than mine. How is that possible?”

Liz seemed to be talking more with herself than with Alex. Whatever had happened to her had left her shocked.

“I—”

Alex stopped suddenly, pain flaring in his mind as though something heavy and sharp crashed into his head, stopping him from speaking his mind.

He wanted to tell his Aunt that he too had heard someone, had been stuck in slowed time, but he found himself completely unable to do anything about it.

Alex paused for a moment, unsure what was happening. He felt normal again now that he wasn’t saying anything, the headache vanishing as though never a thing. But when he tried to speak again, he felt the same restriction in his words, the same headache flare up again.

“Kid, what is going on?” Godslayer’s voice filled his mind. “Whatever you are doing, stop.”

Alex was stunned. If even Godslayer could feel what was happening, then there was only one thing that was possible that had been done to him.

The person who had spoken to him earlier had used his Intent to force Alex to not say anything about their conversation or meeting.

Alex was terrified to learn that he wasn’t even forced to speak an oath and was made to deal with the repercussions of one.

“How was he so strong?” Liz spoke softly.

“If you’re okay, we should get out of here.” Alex lent a hand to his aunt, helping her get up.

Liz stood up, looking toward the wells. “We should definitely leave,” she said. “That person told me that I would regret it my entire life If I tried to learn a Dao here. Why did he say that?”

Alex frowned, wondering what that was about.

“Did you feel nothing? Hear nothing?” Liz asked.

Alex could only deny it in the end. He could not say anything. That only made him curious why it was that the person bothered to stop him from saying anything while leaving his aunt alone to do whatever she wanted to do.

They left the area soon after, flying back toward the Blazing Earth sect. As they flew Alex thought about the incident again, wondering what exactly it was that

‘What was he rambling about at the end there?’ Alex wondered. Those sentences he spoke at the end one after another, felt nonsense to Alex at first. But the more he thought about it, the more it became apparent that they were in fact prophecies.

Alex went through those sentences over and over, seeing if there was any meaning to them he could derive, but just like the other 3 prophecies he had heard before, these ones were fully incomprehensible to him as well.

Alex sighed in the end, not knowing what to do with the information.

Godslayer wanted answers too in his head, but Alex couldn’t give him any, so after a while, Godslayer went back to being silent again.

The two of them arrived back in the Blazing Earth sect, where Liz spent some time chatting with her master and sect elders.

Alex was left alone upon his request.

They stayed in the sect for a few days as there was no hurry to leave. One of the days, Alex took his aunt to the north, to go and meet the senior again.

The Black Tortoise was a lonesome being, who forever stayed in his secret realm by himself. He had barely any visitors, so whenever someone came to meet him, he was more than happy.

The Black Tortoise spoke gladly, chatting with Alex about anything and everything he wanted to. Alex had brought information about his brother, so he was more than rejoiced to hear that.

Apparently, the Black Tortoise wasn’t as lonely as Alex had thought it was. From what it said, Bai Jingshen came and chatted with it from time to time.

He told Alex that he had already learned about his victory at the war in the Eastern Continent.

“I cannot begin to believe that the young man I met all those years ago at random was someone who would go on to become just a strong figure in less than a century,” the giant tortoise said. “I should’ve guessed though. After all, you had the blood of a White Tiger with you at that time. You were no simple human.”

Alex couldn’t help but smile.

He talked to the tortoise about a few more things, letting him know that he wanted to open the teleportation formations, and if he had his approval.

The Black Tortoise had no qualms about what Alex wanted to do. So, gaining his approval, Alex returned to the Blazing Earth sect once again.

They remained in the sect for no more than 2 days after returning and on the 3rd day, it was time for them to leave.

Liz said her goodbyes, saying that she would come again, and that would be before she left for the Immortal worlds.

Alex handed over a bunch of talismans to the elders from all around the continent who had come to see him off.

The elders took the talismans curiously. “What are these?” one of them asked.

“Pill recipes,” Alex said. “For every Saint pill and lower I know of.”

“WHAT?!” A few of them shouted at once.

They quickly looked through the talismans to see what type of pills there were, and they were more than surprised to see the incredible pill recipes that Alex had given him.

From Dao pills to pills that improved Spiritual roots, there were all sorts of pill recipes that Alex gave them.

“Why are you giving these to us?” one of them asked. “Do you wish for something in return?”

“No, nothing,” Alex answered. “I will become an Immortal soon, and thus, I have nothing to gain from hoarding these recipes for myself.”

“So, I give them to you in hopes that they will help improve the status of the cultivators here instead. After all, the Northern Continent is very much behind on Alchemy from the other continents.”

The elders and sect leaders became emotional after looking at all the pill recipes. They were shocked too, seeing all the different possibilities that the pills presented.

Most of them didn’t even realize something like that was possible. Especially the Dao pill, which would be so incredibly useful given that they had an entire mountain full of Soul Elucidating Tulips.

As they looked through the talisman with excitement, one of them stopped on a talisman when they came across something that was not a pill.

Looking closely, the person realized that they were looking at a technique and not a pill recipe. Checking more thoroughly, their breathing became haggard as they realized that the technique they were looking at was an Immortal rank pill formation technique.

“Your Majesty! This… is this a mistake?” the person asked, showing the talisman. He so wanted to not talk about the talisman, but he had to be careful just in case this was a sort of test where Alex would take it all back if they failed to mention it.

Alex smiled. “No, it is not a mistake. What would be the point of giving you all of these pills, if you fail to make anything good out of it?”

“Use the recipes well and make high-level pills. Xue Kuangren troubled you for a long time, so it is about time you catch up to the other continents you have left behind.”

“Oh yeah, one last thing. Please do not tell anyone that you got these recipes from me. Tell people you unearthed them from some Snow Immortal sect treasury you just found or something. Just keep my name out of it.

The many gathered individuals looked at each other in confusion, but they all nodded in the end. They then bowed gratefully as Alex and Liz got onto their ship and left.

“why did you decide to not take credit for the pills?” Liz asked as they flew across the continent, approaching the ocean.

Alex sighed. “Senior Yang told me that I needed to begin erasing my name from the public consciousness. I need to become somebody unknown again so that my name doesn’t spread through the Immortal realm because of what I’ve done.”

“So, I decided to no longer stand out in the world,” Alex said. “Unfortunately, I think I will have to take more drastic measures if that is truly the case.”
