Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 2720

While Alex focused on finding a way to his Soul Space as soon as he could, Whisker spent his time consuming the meat Alex had gathered.

He would stay to the side, eating that meat slowly, improving his physical body. He had body cultivated a couple of times, but had ended up absolutely hating every aspect of it.

The pain one had to go through to improve their body seemed hardly worth it to Whisker, given how low his pain tolerance was to begin with.

His body was perhaps around early True realm at best at this point, even though his cultivation base itself was in the Immortal realm.

However, after learning about this Elixir stuff, Whisker was incredibly happy to know that he could improve his body cultivation without doing anything but simply eating stuff.

No matter how many years it would take him, Whisker was ready to do this.

A month later, however, Whisker got bored.

He wasn't bored of eating the meat, but rather just doing nothing. While Alex did all he could to help those in danger in his Soul Space, he was doing it all on his own.

Whisker was of no help at all, so just being around Alex with nothing to do had got him a lot bored. After many days of just doing that, he decided to do something on his own.

He couldn't go out to fight, as all beasts would instantly kill him in the desert, and he couldn't go out to interact with other humans, as none of them would understand in this world why there was a beast that could speak in the first place.

His presence alone would cause chaos across Hell, so he had to stay more or less hidden.

After a long deliberation, Whisker realized there was one thing he could do here that would not only keep him from being bored, but would also likely help Alex in the long run.

He was going to go out and attempt to find out the truth behind why there was so little Yin Qi in Hell.

Whisker walked around the desert, very inconspicuous to a degree where nothing could ever find him. During the night, he walked around trying to get a better understanding of the surroundings in Hell, and during the day, he stayed around giant beasts with a strong enough Sunheart that he wasn't affected by the Yang.

Whisker traveled to many locations of the desert in order to make sure that what he had sensed a few weeks ago had in fact not been an isolated incident.

After roaming most of the surrounding region of desert, Whisker had come to learn that he had indeed sensed things correctly.

Every night, as things began cooling down in the absence of the sun, Yin energy began forming. However, for some reason, most of the Yin energy was dragged away from the location, going underground.

Whisker began wondering why that was.

Was it actually being pulled, or was something perhaps repelling it downward?

He didn't sense any other presence, whether it be his whiskers or his Spiritual sense, so as far as he knew, the Yin was truly being dragged by the ground.

Now, what he had to do was to find out why.

Why did the Yin get dragged downward?

As Whisker had been in the desert for some time now, he had noticed some other interesting phenomena that were entirely common knowledge to the people of this world.

It was the fact that during the day, the beasts with Sunheart would come outside of the sand. At that same time, almost all of the beasts without Sunhearts chose to remain underground.

And it was the exact opposite during the night.

Beasts with Sunhearts stayed underground, and beasts without it chose to come up.

Most people believed it had something to do with the Yang in the surroundings, and how the beasts with Sunheart didn't like staying in a place where Yang wasn't heavy during the night.

The same people also believed that the underground region was full of trapped Yang during the night, which was why those particular beasts went down into the ground.

However, upon learning about the Yin Qi and how it was dragged down in this world, Whisker had come to a very different hypothesis than perhaps every single person in this entire world.

'They go down there because there is a lot of Yin,' Whisker thought.

That line of thought worked for Whisker when he considered the perspective of a regular beast.

During the night, they would come out to feed on others when there was Yin all around them, and during the day, they would go back underground where the Yin from last night should still be present.

However, when he changed his perspective to a beast that had a Sunheart, things fell apart a lot more.

It didn't make sense to him why a beast such as that would have to go underground at night at all. It wasn't as though the Yang during the night was so little that they had to go search for it elsewhere.

To start with, beasts with Sunhearts were so much freer than the other beasts that they didn't have to stick to a day and night cycle. They could freely roam the desert, at whatever time of the day they wished.

It wasn't as though they needed to sleep.

The thought that the beasts could have some benefit through Yin did cross Whisker's mind, but then that benefit would remain for them whether it was night or day as well.

It wasn't that the beasts with Sunheart didn't need Yin, but that they should be able to get it whenever they wanted.

So then, why was there a natural night and day cycle for the regular beasts and the beasts with Sunheart?

Why was it that the beasts with Sunheart were always the stronger ones?

And why did regular beasts try to consume a Sunheart whenever they had the chance to?

'What even goes on underground?'

Should he wait for Alex to finish his training? Or should he go and find out on his own? seaʀᴄh thё nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
