Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 1880

Chapter 1880 Some Training

Alex stood on the sandy beach of one of the remote islands, Scarlet standing far away from her with her hands behind her back.

"Come on, try and hurt me."

Alex smiled and nodded before instantly using what little he could of Sword Domain. Hair-thin Qi flashed all around him, nearly 10 meters in all directions of him.

Scarlet stood further away than 10 meters, so she could not feel the effect of the domain. She could however see the brief lifespan of the Sword Qi that continued forming and dying one after another.

"You need to maintain them longer," she said. "And you need to spread them further away from you too."

"I know," Alex said between grunts. "This is all I can muster a the moment."

Scarlet shrugged and gestured for him to attack. Alex rushed forward to do so.

As soon as Alex appeared close enough to her, Scarlet began feeling the effect of the domain. The thin Sword Qi began cutting all around her, trying to draw blood.

Thankfully, as an immortal, Scarlet's physical body was just too strong for the Sword Qi to cut through them. Her body wasn't strong because of body cultivation, of course, simply Immortal Qi.

That was enough for her to just stand there, taking in all the attacks. A regular Immortal would've suffered quite a bit by now, of course, but she was a Heavenly Beast and thus had much stronger Qi than normal.

Alex swung next, Midnight releasing a golden arc of an attack as it moved toward her.

Scarlet moved her hands gently and illusory feathers appeared all around her, coalescing to form a shield of bright and burning feathers.

Alex's attack was stopped without much hassle, but that did not stop Alex. He continued attacking, one more after another. Each one of the attacks was different. Each one of the attacks was meant to teach him how to use his Sword Domain with every type of attack.

Alex brought out 125 swords, adding Sword Qi to all of them before sending them toward Scarlet.

Scarlet reached out with her hands, her fingers looking as though a bird's talon before she clawed at the incoming swords. The swords clattered as they dismantled from the formation, spreading every which way.

Alex grabbed Midnight from the falling swords and did a Heavenly Static Slash. Thanks to a better Wood root, he could now use Wood attacks without worrying about wasting his Qi. Even his Wood roots were as good as anyone else's now after all.

"Yes, those. Can I learn those?" Alex asked.

"I don't think you heard me correctly. Those techniques are bloodline techniques," Scarlet repeated.

Alex paused for a moment. "What are you saying? I can't learn them if I don't have the Phoenix's bloodline?" he asked. "Any of them?"

"Unfortunately, that is exactly what it means," Scarlet said. "So unless you are a Vermillion bird, you should forget about it."

"Do I need the Vermillion Bird's bloodline or just the Phoenix fire?" Alex asked.

Scarlet thought for a moment. "You will need the Vermillion Bird's bloodline. Without the bloodline, there is no Phoenix fire."

"Can't I just learn the fire?" Alex asked. "I've tried doing it a few times, and every time I do it, I find myself unable to peer through all of its mysteries."

"Well, the very first thing you need is to sense the Time aura, which I know you are capable of, but you don't know the specifics. Until you get down to the specifics, it will be difficult for you to learn Phoenix Dao in any way."

Alex sighed. He had tried learning the Phoenix Fire many different times, even drinking Scarlet's blood a few times to get her Bloodline. But each time he was stumped.

With the True Fire Dao, it should've been easy for him to copy the Phoenix Fire. Only, Phoenix Fire wasn't only made up of Time dao and True Fire Dao.

There was more going on with the Phoenix fire, but he couldn't figure it out at all, other Daos he did not recognize. Until Scarlet told him what those were, it would take him a while to recognize them all.

"I'll get it somehow, you know," Alex said. "One way or another, with your bloodline or not, I will find a way to form my very own Phoenix Fire."

Scarlet gave a wide grin. "I'll be waiting for you to do that then."

Alex got a message on his talisman as they were about to go for a third round of battle. He took out the talisman and read the information.

"Someone else died again. I need to get back," Alex said and prepared to leave.

Scarlet didn't argue. "Let's go."
