Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 2069  Understanding the Inheritance

"Good, then you can leave with me. Elder Shang will take care of the rest," Thunderspine said and turned toward the people that were in that hall. "Goodbye, fellow Daoists."

Something grabbed onto Alex and he was taken out of the hall once again. Alex found himself in the sky a moment later, flying through the air at an incredible speed.

Before Alex knew it, he had crossed hundreds of kilometers and had arrived at one of the mountains of the Blue Silk sect. They landed next to a teleportation formation and disappeared somewhere else a moment later.

The sect master walked out of the teleportation formation, no longer rushing. Alex quickly walked out as well and walked along, knowing not what else to do at the moment.

"Are you sure you made the right choice?" the man asked suddenly. "I gave you the choice to sell to anyone because that was the best course of action for you."

"I understand," Alex said. "I didn\'t make my choice in haste. Don\'t worry, sect master. I won\'t regret it."

"If you say so," the man said. "But this was your chance to get quite the treasures. Some of them were ready to sell you Divine treasures too."

"That won\'t be useful to me until I enter the Divine realm, or high in the Immortal Spirit realm when I begin converting Immortal Qi into Divine Qi," Alex said. "By that point, I should be rich enough to just buy those treasures."

The sect master simply nodded and kept on walking. Alex followed him, unsure why he was even doing so. What was he doing here? Now that the secret realm was done with, he should be returning. "So, what did you find exactly?" the man asked.

"I beg you pardon?" The sect master turned around. "Do you know why I was there in the sect? Did it not seem convenient for me to be there to save you from the mob of those cultivators?" he asked.

Alex paused. Now that he thought about it, that was right. The sect master hadn\'t been there the first time around. Only Elder Shang had. "What were you doing there, sect master?" he asked.

"I wasn\'t sure myself," the man said. "I was only sent there because sister Frosteyes said something pivotal was going to happen in the next few days. She foresaw it as something that was very important to our sect. It isn\'t always she sees these visions unprompted."

Alex couldn\'t hide his shock. "Elder Frosteyes knew I was going to find those treasures?" he asked.

"Treasures, and much more," the man said. "She said this event was pivotal for our sect, but you gave away the treasure you found so easily. So, tell me, did you get something else?"

Alex stared at the sect master for a brief moment before nodding slightly. "I did gain something," he said. "An Inheritance."

The sect master\'s eyes narrowed. "An Inheritance?" he asked. "What sort?"

"A technique," Alex said. "I do not know if I\'m comfortable with sharing more than what I have already said."

"Alright, I won\'t ask for more," the man said. "But do tell me, did that technique have anything with why Reverend Sixghost got his name?"

Alex thought for a bit and nodded. Sixghost got his name because he used up to six sabers he fought, most of them appearing and disappearing like ghosts.

His two sabers were his regular treasures, but he also had his Divine Creation, which was like a Saber as well. Using Provenance Duality: Duplication, he had managed to materialize four additional Sabers, which he used in his fight. "The technique I got indeed has that," Alex said. "But it would be useless to you, or anyone else, sect master. As you might have guessed from the requirement to enter the secret realm, only the ones who haven\'t entered the Immortal Origin realm can make use of it." Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

"So it is an Origin technique?" the man asked. "Many have suspected as much. Is it one to create a specific type of Spirit? Saber spirits should be useless to you."

Alex looked at the man, saying nothing in return. "Alright," the sect master said, chuckling a little. "You can go rest for now. Don\'t leave the sect for at least a week though. I might need you to come meet me within that time after I talk with the sect elders."

Alex nodded. "I\'ll see you then, sect master," he said and walked away.

Alex teleported close to where his mountain was and quickly returned to his cave. He let Pearl and Whisker out and sat down to begin cultivating. He hadn\'t cultivated since his battle against Ren Muwen and the others.

He had focused on trying to find the technique as quickly as possible, so it was time to properly cultivate.

While he cultivated, Alex went through the inheritance he had received, learning all about Provenance Duality: Duplication.

Now that Alex learned more about it, he realized it was a technique that fundamentally changed an Origin. A regular Origin was a single, solid thing but this technique changed that slightly.

It made the Origin separable while remaining solid. The Origin in its base form would just be a single Origin. It was when Alex needed more that he could duplicate it, which wasn\'t truly necessary until he made his Creation.

Alex learned more about the technique, understanding fundamentally what it did. He frowned at the fact that practicing the technique delayed his cultivation speed in the Immortal Origin realm, compared to the others. Since he needed the Origin to have enough energy to be capable of splitting into two equally usable Origins, he needed to pour in a lot more energy.

If he wanted them to split further, he needed to add even more.

Alex frowned only for so long before shrugging it away. His cultivation speed was fast enough that he could afford to slow down for a single cultivation realm. Maybe the Immortal Transcendent realm would lengthen slightly as well, but he would still be faster than the vast majority of the other cultivators. He was okay with that, especially considering the benefit that gave him. "So I have to start right from the moment I enter the Immortal Origin realm," Alex thought. "I will need to cultivate it constantly to make the most out of it in that realm."

Alex sighed as he realized that he needed to begin thinking about what he wanted his Creation to be. As things were progressing, he was more and more certain that it was going to be a Sword.

He imagined a future where he had four Creation swords that flew around him, attacking anyone in the vicinity.

\'What if I doubled it, and turned it into 8 swords?\' Alex thought, a smile forming on his face. That would take a lot of energy to make. He would have to be absolutely certain he was ready to waste that much time in the Immortal Origin realm.
