Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 1892

Chapter 1892 About Time

Alex felt something stirring space far away. Upon closer inspection, he could feel that it was the same feeling he had the last 3 times he had been near an Immortal breakthrough.

That was to say, someone was trying to break through to Immortality right then.

26 years had passed since Hannah and the others left, and this was the first Immortal breakthrough since then.

Alex had been training his Intent at the moment while feeding Qi to the two trees when he sensed this, so he moved away, waiting for the result of this attempt.

Sometime later, the Immortal breakthrough ended and the world returned to normalcy again. It would take a while before he would find who it was that had made the attempt, and what the result of it was.

Alex sensed the inverted maelstrom opening far away, the disturbance in space being very clear to his senses. The result of the attempt was apparent to him now.

A month later, news came as to who it was.

The person that had broken through was surprisingly Sarah, the leader of the 8th Talon Legion battalion, the woman Alex had met back in the Martial Transcendent realm all those years ago.

'She broke through, huh?' Alex thought. 'Good for her.'

Her ascendance did little to motivate him or deter him from what he had been doing. So, he went back to training once again.

Within the next decade, Alex managed to reach the peak of Body Cultivation possible in this world without becoming an Immortal. After reaching that strength with his body, Alex did not need to train with it, so he only focused on training his Sword Domain and Intent.

The training for both went smoothly, with little trouble. He was especially managing to hone in his Sword Domain, which he hadn't realized would be this incredibly difficult.

Sword Domain was definitely on a level way beyond Sword Aura.

Alex was at a stage with his Sword Domain where he could now target up to 10 different individuals to either be focused on more of them or be left alone completely.

Finally, his training to improve his Intent was going slowly, but smoothly. Now, he could remove Intent from a batch of Qi in the tail of up to 5 meters in diameter. And all of those Qi had been slowly going into Alex's Soul space, feeding both the Yang tree and the World Tree.

Alex finally reached a point where he just couldn't keep going. There was little incentive for him to continue doing what he was in the Qi barrier.

That, and the trees had reached a point where if he didn't tend to them quickly in some manner, they would most likely die. Alex had to do something, and he had trouble figuring out what exactly.

After a long thought, Alex came to a conclusion.

He needed to do something for the trees, something he had been meaning to do for nearly 70 years now, but also got sidetracked or simply felt that it wasn't as necessary.

However, the time had come now, and there wasn't anything more he could do.

But, to do something this big and possibly very dangerous, he needed to be stronger. Stronger than he was right now.

Despite his training being in body, sword, and Intent, Alex had still continued his Qi cultivation, and thus in the past 50 years, he had already reached the peak of the Saint Transformation 9th realm.

So, if he wanted to become stronger, there was only one thing he had left to do.

He needed to become an Immortal.

"It is time for me to break through as well," Alex told the snake. "Will you be alright if I leave you alone?"

"I can't follow to watch you, and there won't be much time left for you to come see me after you break through," the snake said. "So... I suppose this is goodbye then."

"This is goodbye," Alex said and gave a bow. "Thank you for all the help, senior."

"The pleasure was all mine, young brother. I will soon leave this world as well, in about 800 years. I'll see you in my realm then."

Alex smiled back. "I'll see you in the Immortal realm." He then took out the small metal disc from his Soul Space and teleported out.

He teleported back into the backyard of the palace in the Southern Continent, from where he let everyone know what he was planning to do.

It was his turn to leave this world.
