Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 2358

Chapter 2358 The Fifth Page

Alex felt, with no small sense of astonishment, the pulse that came from his Soul Space once again.

It was a different sort of pulse than the one he had received before from Bai Jingshen's talisman. It felt... closer, as though the pulse came from something intrinsically linked to him.

Alex grew curious.

He grabbed at it, immediately throwing his mind into his Soul Space to follow after the pulse. The pulse was weak as it retreated, but Alex was quick enough that he didn't miss it like he had with the other pulse. He arrived before it almost instantly.

The pulse came from a singular artifact, which surprised Alex.

'This?' he thought. Never in a thousand years would he have expected this to act out on its own, to pulse and call for him. He had thought it dormant, no longer able to do anything.

Alex grew even more curious now as he pulled the artifact out from his Soul Space.

The artifact landed on Alex's arm, thick and heavy. It was in the shape of a book, as it always was: metal in body with some heft to it. You could probably kill someone by hitting them with it.

This was the book artifact named the Blood God's Manual.

"Why did you pulse?" Alex asked the artifact. As if trying to answer, the book pulsed again, the feeling flowing directly through their bond. That was why Alex had felt the pulse so much closer than the other one.

Suddenly, as though growing with a life of its own, the book floated away from Alex's hand, hovering right before him. He was face-to-face with the cover of the book, which had the design of the maw of a beast with a thousand sharp teeth interlocking closely.

When the book wanted blood, that maw would open and its tongue would come out to taste it.

This time, the maw didn't open. Instead, the book itself opened. The book turned, the first page flipping open, and Alex saw written on it what he already knew.

Blood Armor only covered his chest, protecting a person's vital organs, such as his lungs, heart, and dantian. But it didn't protect his head, his neck, or his limbs.

'What if it covered everything?' Alex wondered.

He knew why it only protected as much as it did. There was only so much blood in a human body, and the blood was what hardened to form the armor. As such, there was only so much a human could afford to send out and use as armor.

If the entire body were to be covered, all of the person's blood would have to be drawn out, leaving nothing at all within their body. Even if they did eat some pill to quickly regrow their blood, that blood would still lack most of its blood aura.

But Alex was different. He didn't have the same issues other people did. His blood regrew almost instantly, thanks to his undying physique, and he could also add aura to that new blood to make it as powerful as the rest of it.

'I can stand the flaw that would otherwise take down others,' Alex thought. This was a good thing.

The page flipped again.

Page 4: Blood Beasts

The method of creating blood beasts was written on this page. At the same time, this page was also a holding space for the blood beasts that Alex had created. Currently, he had more than a few hundred, but none of them were strong enough to even be in the Immortal realm.

This technique was just a bit flawed in its necessity to find new beast cores in order to make beasts as powerful as him.

Alex tried to think of a solution, but the book didn't wait for him this time, flipping again.

The fifth page opened, a page that Alex had given up on a long time ago.

Finally, fervently, he looked at the page, reading the words written on it. And it sent shock through his entire body.
