Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

1288 To The South



Alex came to learn a bit about Han Diayu of the Han family and Liang Qiu of the Heaven’s Peak sect. Both were girls that Alex had done some business with before while he was in the Dawnspring city as they were the ones that had brought him the pill recipes that improved his Earth Spiritual root.

Liang Qiu was also the girl that had taken second place in the tournament whereas Alex had taken third place.

From what Alex learned, both of them had entered the Saint realm about 10 years ago. Qin Shan wasn’t aware how much stronger they were now as he hadn’t met them in a while since both of them were now elders of their respective families and sect.

He didn’t doubt that they were both stronger than the public believed them to be as they were some of the most talented individuals this empire had seen in a long time.

Another person that Alex didn’t expect to hear about, but simply did because of Qin Shan’s long talk was Tian Ye. The fatty Talisman expert was more talented than his mother when it came to talismans, and was the person that made Alex call him Uncle.

While Alex didn’t care about the man particularly, he was still happy to hear that he had become the sect leader of the Demon’s Whisper sect, which was considered the best talisman sect in the entire empire.

Alex and Helen spent the entire day talking with Qin Shan and the other elders of the sect.

During that time, Alex gave his mother’s master a few talismans that contained more knowledge about talismans than the Luminance empire most likely did.

Even more than that, he gave them knowledge about scripts, which was clearly missing from the empire. With the help of scripts, they would certainly become a household name throughout the empire with people seeking them out from far and about.

Around evening, Alex and Helen finally caught a break from all the catching up and were sent to guest houses that were more glamorous than any building Alex remembered in this sect.

They had certainly upgraded a few things in the time he was gone.

The very next morning, Alex left the Flowing Brush sect and made his way south. He had been looking forward to going there as soon as he could, and having to waste 2 days on other things hadn’t made him happy at all.

Without his mother, Alex flew as fast as he could with Scarlet by his side. She looked at the world around them as they flew past everything in the blink of an eye.

“It’s not that different from the Southern Continent,” She said to Alex.

“Yeah, but there’s nowhere near enough Qi to help Saints grow,” Alex said.

“I wasn’t really talking about how dense the Qi was,” Scarlet said. “But you’re not wrong. With how weak the Qi is, it’s a surprise it can sustain so many saints. The sects and clans must have dedicated Saint spirit vein under their territory.”

“Most of them do,” Alex explained.

As they flew, the Scarlet saw the ocean on the left side get closer and closer to them the further south they got.

“Are we moving east?” Scarlet asked.

“No, the land is just narrow towards the south compared to the north. So, even while we have been relatively straight this whole time, we’ve still gotten close to the ocean,” he said.

“Hmm, even the ocean is much weaker around here,” she noticed. 

“Is that so?” Alex was surprised to hear. He checked too and it was true. 

He had always thought the ocean had more Qi than the land, but now that he had some other oceans to compare it to, he realized that even this ocean was very much weaker by comparison.

“Where are we going exactly?” Scarlet asked. “You haven’t mentioned anything yet.”

“Have I not?” Alex asked. “We’re going to the Demon realm. The one I teleported from to the Northern Continent.”

“Ah, that place.” 

Alex had learned after asking Qin Shan that the last time the Demon realm had opened was 2 years ago. Which meant that it had been over 32 years exactly since he had left the Western Continent.

That was a long time he was away from his people, but that also helped him improve as a cultivator. What had happened to him back then was both a boon and curse at the same time. 

“There it is,” he said when he saw the small island with its small granite monument in the center. Scarlet didn’t see it yet, but she believed Alex due to how good his eyes were.

Soon enough even she saw it. 

A few kilometers past the main continent, there was a small island full of green grass that humans rarely visited.

The most they came around here was for about 10 days every 10 years, which was 2 years ago, so no one had visited this place in a long time.

Alex landed on the island and looked around, smelling the salty scent of the ocean, brought in by the fresh breeze that blew past the morning haze. 

“Let’s go,” Alex said and walked over to the monument that had scripts carved all over it with a single ‘Demon’ written at the top.

He took out the Demon realm’s authority medallion and wore it. Then, he placed his palm on the monument and poured Qi into it.

As soon as he did, a strong spatial aura blocked him from teleporting away. Alex found it quite weird. ‘This happened last time too,’ he thought. ‘So I really can’t just wear it, huh?’

In the next moment, he started pouring a little Qi into the medallion as well. As soon as the medallion got hold of his Qi, it activated, putting out a small force that removed the spatial lock that was placed on him.

Then, the teleportation aura grabbed onto him. Alex extended it a little and put Scarlet within it as well. 

In the next moment, the two of them were teleported away to inside the Demon realm. 

“Oh,” Alex spoke before he even carefully looked at where he was. “I just had to activate the medallion to stop the formation huh?”

He found out that the medallion was linked to every single formation, and all he had to do was think to stop it or start it.

Alex thought it and the spatial aura around them that would force them to teleport away were gone. Now, the Demon realm was no different than the ten days when it was open.

“Can you take a tour of this place on your own?” Alex asked. “I have something to do of my own.”

Scarlet didn’t ask and simply flew away.

After Alex was free, he too flew away, going in the direction of the third mountain. He arrived at the top of the mountain and looked at the script below him.

After a simple wave of his hand, he was teleported inside to the hidden chamber where there still remained an enemy of his that needed to be taken care of.
