Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 2281

Chapter 2281 Sword

Anything was better than being forced to show what he had in his storage bags, so Alex willingly led them all to the mountains. He landed a short distance away and walked toward it.

He had planned on letting them get lost in the mist, but it seemed they were prepared for that. One of the Divinities used their Creation to form a long vine that wrapped around them all, ensuring they wouldn't get separated.

Alex realized he couldn't walk away from them. He continued, guiding the group through the mist. He didn't want to arrive at Rosemist's place with five Divinities in tow, so once they were inside the mist, he asked, "What do you seniors want me to do? Just wander around? There really is nothing in here."

"Take us to the summit. We'll handle the rest ourselves," the eldest among them said.

Alex nodded, hoping that Rosemist had already noticed their arrival because they were within the mists.

As they progressed, the older men and women began to notice the truth in Alex's words. There really was nothing in the area. They were all alchemists and could easily identify the trees and plants, so they could tell there were no valuable ingredients here either.

"What is this? This is the holy site?" one of them said. "There's nothing here."

"Let's wait and see. We need to reach the summit before drawing conclusions," another said.

"My Divine Sense detects nothing but a few beasts. This place truly is empty."

They continued, making their way to the top. Disappointment was clear on their faces, though they still held onto the hope that something there would explain the mysterious nature of the mist.

Alex led them out of the mist without encountering anyone else. Outside, there was nothing for them to find; everything was barren and deserted.

Alex continued climbing as they wished, finally reaching the top, where he stopped. "Is this what you wanted to see, Senior?" he asked, turning to face them. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The five were not enjoying themselves. Not only had they not found what they came for, but the constant misguidance from the mists had given them headaches, as their senses fought against each other.

They felt the need to sit down for a while and cultivate.

"No, it's fine," Alex said. "They would have if not for my master's reputation. That saved me."

"I see. If you're alright, then you can head down on your own. She'll meet you below," the snake said.

"Thank you again, Senior."

The woman left, and Alex descended as well. Thoughts of the day's events ran through his mind, but what stood out most was what they had shouted earlier.

"Divine Manifestation Realm," he thought. "I never realized the snake was that powerful."

The Divine Manifestation Realm was the step after the Divine Creation Realm. Given the vast difference in strength between realms, it was no wonder the Divinities had fled.

"And that sword," he thought. "It must be her Creation. She is a sword snake."

Creations followed laws he didn't fully understand, and he wondered if he should have asked her about it. But before he could dwell on that, he saw Rosemist waiting for him.

"Hey," he said simply. "Sorry for bringing people to your place unannounced. I hope you noticed in time and hid."

"I don't have to hide," Rosemist said with a slight smile. "But yes, I sensed it early. I could tell they were forcing you to come here."

"Yeah," Alex said. "Hopefully, they won't try that again."

"I don't think they will," Rosemist said. "But if they do, just bring them here. I will teach them a lesson myself next time around."

Alex could tell Rosemist was joking, but a part of him believed she wasn't either. It was hard to tell based on just her words. She was a woman of mystery and he couldn't peel back the layers on her so easily.

"I have a question, if you don't mind me asking," he said. "Go on. I just won't answer if its something I don't want to answer," she said simply.

"Are you stronger than a Divinity?"
