Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 2132  Something Silver

Snowleaf was still within his room, it appeared.

"What did they say, master? When do we leave?"

"5 days is their current estimate," Silvermist answered. "Just stay around. They will come and let us know when it is time to leave. Don\'t go into deep cultivation though."

Alex nodded and sat down by the side. "I wanted to ask something else, master. Regarding the formation and the Sky God\'s army."

Silvermist narrowed his eyes. "Let this be my first lesson to you, disciple," he said. "Always think twice before you speak a God\'s name. You never know who could be listening and if they will like what you say or not."

Alex was taken aback at the words and looked around. They were in their rooms, so who would hear about the words here?

"I will be careful," Alex said.

"Okay, now think very carefully about your question and try to see if it will offend anyone," Silvermist said.

Alex shook his head. "I don\'t see anything that is wrong with my question," he said.

"Alright, then ask."

"You said that in part, the Sky God\'s soldiers stay around in the other worlds so they can help should a problem arise, right?" he asked.

"Yes," Silvermist said.

"Why don\'t they stay around the Receiving formations?" Alex asked. "What if a big danger arrived in this world from outside?"

"Brother Grim, do you want to take this one?" Silvermist asked.

Grimsight shrugged. "Who rules this world?" he asked.

"The three big sects," Alex said. Was that the answer he wanted? Or was there some sort of riddle here?

Grimsight nodded. "Then whose responsibility is it to protect this world?" he asked.

"The three sects," Alex said, understanding dawning upon him at that very moment. "Oh, so they don\'t stay around because they\'re not here to help. They\'re the cure, not the prevention. Got it."

Grimsight nodded. Alex asked a few other questions, trying to skirt the edges of what he truly wanted to know about, which was the Sky God and the other Gods.

He knew a lot about the gods as a concept from various places. But he never knew any of them individually. The closest one would be the Sky God, and that was only because he had been around her disciple for a long time.

That and Ronron herself had the Sky God\'s physique. So one day, should she have the fortune for it, she would become the Sky God as well.

Alex didn\'t learn a lot about the gods as he wanted to, but he did learn a bit. Especially, he learned about the Alchemy God, the current one.

"His Majesty, the Alchemy God, is just as young as me, and so much more talented. One can only wonder if they can be as good as him," Silvermist said. "Brother Grim, do you think he will take me in as a disciple by any chance?"

"You are too old to be a disciple," Grimsight said with a stunned expression. Silvermist said a lot of things that made others turn around twice, but it was very rare for him to do it to Grimsight. "A Reverend though, that\'s not out of the question."

"I don\'t really want to be a Reverend though. I want to be the next Alchemy God, If I can of course," Silvermist said.

Grimsight sighed. "You just taught your disciple about thinking twice before speaking about the gods this way. Why is it that you don\'t employ your own lesson?" he asked.

"Because you are here," Silvermist said with a loud laugh. "You will protect me from everything, won\'t you?"

Grimsight grunted. "One of these days, you will be the death of me." Alex barely managed to sneak in a question as they talked. "How old are you, Master?" he asked. "Are you over a hundred thousand years old?"

"I am…" Silvermist thought for a bit. "…somewhere in the 230 thousand range. I forgot the actual date a long time ago." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Alex knew the number would be high, but it was still quite stunning to hear it be said out loud. \'230 thousands years old…\' he thought. \'Meanwhile, I\'m not even 200 years old.\'

There was a lot of time in the future ahead of him still.

He stayed around for a while to learn what more he could. He realized after a while that his master wasn\'t aware of the treasure that the current Alchemy God had with him, that which was partly responsible for his status.

\'Is it a secret? Or just something they don\'t spread to not offend the god?\' Alex wondered.

After a while, Snowleaf walked out and started talking about the tournament, diverting the topic away. They discussed what sort of tests would be held and came up with a lot of different test ideas. But because everything was still decided by the Alchemy God in the end, there was not much point to the discussion.

After chatting for a while, Alex returned to his room and waited. There was nothing else to do, so he stayed there, slowly cultivating.

4 days later, he was notified that they would be leaving the next morning. Finally, the time to leave the Myriad Spirit realm had come.

Alex arrived at a large hall filled with less than a hundred different people who were there to teleport to the Eclipsing Heaven realm as well. Some were people who were being sent on business, some were people who were traveling around for fun.

Alex was surprised how few people there were, considering the teleportation was between realms and it only happened once every 10 years.

They were called out to the teleportation formation an hour later, and they walked out in a file. Alex walked outside of the door that was guarded by people in pink robes and arrived at a large platform that was surrounded by people in sky-blue armor.

Alex glanced at the Sky God\'s soldiers for a bit before looking away. As he did, he noticed something.

At the corner of the formation, where no doubt would be a console to change the settings around the formation, there was a silver rock no larger in size than an infant\'s head.

Alex couldn\'t believe what he was seeing.

\'A Space Stone?\' he thought, wondering why that was there. Only then did he remember what Senior Yang had said. Space Stones were what powered the Interrealm Teleportation formation. Without it, the cost to teleport to another realm would be astronomical, and damn near impossible for anyone to use it so frequently.

The one Alex had received had been one that was used for Interrealm Teleportation formation as well, and it was much larger than this one. Twice as large.

\'I already used that one and opened my Soul Space,\' Alex thought. \'What would happen if I used another one?\'

It was only normal for him to get curious.
