Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Alex cultivated for the first time in a long time. This was a proper cultivation with a proper pill to aid him in it.

For a week straight, with no one disturbing him, he cultivated improving himself little by little. He could feel his own improvement. It had been over a decade since his last breakthrough, so he was on his way to the next one.

His cultivation speed had no doubt fallen for now, so it would take longer. The pills he used had gone from being 9-veined down to 4-veined since his master wasn’t around to provide him with cultivation pills.

Not to mention, going from the Immortal Ascendant realm to the Immortal Origin realm was no doubt going to take a long time anyway.

Still, he was certain in his own talent that he was going to break through. If not this decade, then the next. He would no doubt reach the Immortal Origin realm before the 4th Competition.

Pearl would likely take longer than that, but that did not matter. He was right behind anyway. As for Whisker, he was bound to be slow in cultivation from the start.

Unless Alex found some way to improve his talent, Whisker was bound to be slow to cultivate like anyone else. The fact that he was close to breaking through to Immortality in just 200 years of being born was already fast enough for him.

Alex wondered how long it would take him to break through to the Immortal realm. The thing that Whisker waited for right now was to learn the True Fire Dao before he could break through.

It shouldn’t take long before he did that.

Alex lost himself in his cultivation, thinking about the many things that went around in his mind. The knowledge of the God realm’s existence fascinated him.

If there was a regular person in his stead, who had struggled to reach even the Immortal realm, he would’ve likely been very demotivated by this knowledge. To know that even after such hard work, there was still a long way to the summit, which was going to be even harder was a big enough blow to people, enough to cause them to go through Qi Deviation after failing to surpass an Inner Demon.

That was part of the reason why most mortals in lower realms were not told about the Immortal realms, just that becoming an Immortal was a thing. If they learned that even after thousands of years of struggle, they were still going to have to struggle for another hundreds of thousands of years to become relevant at all was a strong blow to their self-esteem.

Thankfully, this was Alex, and he understood his own talent better than anyone else. He knew for a fact if Pearl could reach the God realm, he could too.

Only, there was no God realm to reach anymore. Even reaching the Celestial realm started sounding like an issue to him now.

‘Where are the Celestial Spirit veins even?’ Alex wondered. If his understanding that most gods were in the Celestial realm was correct, then he would most likely find them in their lands.

‘Sky God’s Palace is bound to have a few of them,’ Alex thought. He didn’t worry very much about it at the moment.

After finishing his cultivation, Alex felt a sense of disappointment at the fact that he couldn’t improve his body right away. The Mountain Crushing artifact was inside his Soul Space, and he hadn’t registered it with the tournament.

He had done so knowingly since it was an artifact created by the Godkiller, but still. He missed going through 2 days of body cultivation inside of the thing where he came out feeling great about his improved physique.

Alex finally left his room around late in the morning and went to check up on the rest. Pearl was still cultivating with nothing else to do, and Whisker was busy helping Momo in his stead.

Everything Alex learned, he had taught it to Whisker. So even if he only had theoretical knowledge of most things, he still had the knowledge.

Momo’s cultivation base had improved tremendously. From the looks of it, Whisker had made her some quality cultivation pills to help her improve. Her cultivation base was already in the 6th Meridian-Tempering realm after a week of cultivation.

Just a week more, and she would reach the Mind-Tempering realm. A month after that, she was most likely going to enter the True realm.

“How is your training coming along, Momo?” Alex asked. “Let me test you a bit.”

“Test me however much you want, Master. I have learned everything you and Uncle Whisker have taught me,” she said proudly.

“Alright, let’s see if you are more than just talk.”

Alex began asking her questions, asking her about all the things she had learned. He had no doubt she would know the answer to the questions he had. With her Spiritual sea unlocked, anything he taught her would remain in her mind forever.

What he wanted to test was how good she was at recalling the information and maybe using it practically. He could see that she had learned it all quite well, enough so that she wasn’t just remembering things but actually learning them. She wasn’t just speaking about what she was taught but speaking about what she understood.

There were of course times when she had to take a few moments to find the memory of what Alex was talking about, and that was something Momo herself understood that she needed to learn more about.

After an hour of asking her questions, Alex made her make some pills for him to see how far along she had come. It wouldn’t be very long before she would have to stop making common pills. In a month or two, she would begin making True rank pills, so testing her for her skills on common pills wasn’t necessary. So, what he wanted to check was her understanding of pill-making and the way she implemented what she had learned in the past two weeks. That was more important than anything else.
