Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 891

Chapter 891 Opening the Seal

Alex stood not far from the gate in the group of 2000 people that were looking forward to the gate opening. There were 5 people present in front of the gate.

Huang Xinyi, the old man that had explained that earlier, the sect leader of the Blue Spring sect, wore his purple and white robes as he stood in the middle.

Wu Song, another elderly man that was the Grand elder of the Heaven's Frost sect wore his royal blue robes, waiting for the sun to come up.

Xuan Texin, Elder Xuan of the Frozen Heart sect also stood there, waiting.

Mu Beigong, the sect leader of the Nether Poison sect, had a face that looked half melted. Most others would have likely sought a cure or at least looked to hide it if they could not, but he didn't. Having been the victim of the best poison he had made, he proudly presented the horrific results of his actions to deter his enemies.

Finally, Tai Guan was an old woman that was a simple ancestor of the Blazing Earth sect, that was here today because she was close to learning a Dao.

The five of them were gathered in front of the gate to open it up as the gates of the Dao mountain required 5 Saint Soul realm cultivators to work in unison or a single Saint Transformation realm cultivator.

Alex watched the 5 elders with awe. Not only them. Every other Saint realm cultivator was in a league that was far above Alex.

He looked around, taking in the surroundings as he heard people talk to each other, and learned some names.

Long Jie of the Divine Heavens sect was known for being one of the best artifact crafters in the Northern Continent.

Gong Yaozhu was well known for being the oldest person that came to the Dao mountain every year and had never learned a single Dao.

Qin Meifen was known for being in charge of the Plum Fragrance Auction house's main body that had branches in all the different states in multiple cities.

Chang Lihua of the Nether Poison sect was unanimously said to be the most beautiful woman in the whole Northern Continent, even more so than anyone in the Frozen Heart sect. It was regularly said that the girl could kill anyone with just her look.

Alex did see her from not far away, and even he had to agree that she was very beautiful. Perhaps more so than anyone else he had seen. However, if memories counted, then she was nowhere close to being even half as beautiful as the woman that aided the Undying god when he was about to die.

Other than that, there were many more talisman makers, puppet masters, or other well-known figures in the group that were regularly talked to or simply greeted.

However, perhaps no one got as much attention or greetings as the woman who wore red and white robes from the Blazing Earth sect. No one seemed to know her real name and called her Veiled Fairy because of the veil she constantly wore to hide her face.

Some said she was not as good-looking as her contemporaries, while some said she was hiding her face because she was too good-looking.

Not that it mattered anyway since her face or the lack of it wasn't what gave her the popularity she had.

What made her so popular was the fact that even before she had entered the saint realm nearly 12 years ago, she had entered the mountain and made it all the way to the top where she apparently learned an incredible dao.

No one knew what the Dao was or what it could do, but based on the descent of the Daos, most knew that it was a particularly strong one.

After that, the woman had broken through and in just 12 years reached Saint Condensation 5th realm. That was incredibly fast for anyone here.

She had also come here without fail every single year, and in 3 of those times, she had learned some other Dao, making her one of the people with the most potential in the entire Northern Continent.

Alex was quite surprised when he heard that. 'Another person with multiple daos huh?' he thought. In fact, her number of Dao was even higher than his.

He couldn't help but wonder what exactly it was she learned.

As the sky in the east started to brighten up, it was time to open up the gate of the dao mountain.

The gate was a massive metal door with intricate patterns on it. When viewed closely, one could tell that it was a seal.

The seal suddenly brightened when the 5 elders from the 5 ancient sects started pouring their Saint Soul Qi into it. The seal brightened even further and suddenly a slit appeared in between the doors.

The gates then started opening up and finished opening by the time the eastern sky was fully bright.

Without any word, the 5 elders entered the gates and went up the mountain.

The people that were new here looked around awkwardly, wondering if they should go in or not.

At the same time, a group of Saint realm cultivators arrived by the gates and turned around to watch the group go up.

"Please proceed slowly," they said. "Saint realm cultivators get to go in first."

Alex and the 33 other cultivators there had to wait as the many Saint realm cultivators slowly entered the mountain before them.

They started grumbling, saying that they were likely not going to have any place to stay where they could be and then would have to climb back down to a place with an open seating area.

That would be quite bad when Alex thought about it. However, he could only hope for there to be a spot for him when it was their turn to go.

It took the Saint cultivators nearly 15 minutes before they were all inside the mountain. The sheer amount of people that were here made it so that Alex and the rest were 15 minutes late in finding their spot.

As soon as the True realm cultivators were finally allowed to enter, they rushed into the mountain.

As soon as they entered, however, many of them, including Alex, had to stop for a moment to take in the weird scent that was neither bad nor good.

Alex felt the effect of the flower's scent on him immediately as he felt drowsy the moment he entered the mountain.

However, not even half a second later, he lost that feeling and could now start walking up the mountain.

Alex looked carefully in front of him to make sure there were no flowers that he would accidentally step onto. Fortunately, there didn't seem to be many until one had walked over 200 meters upward.

Just then, Alex saw one of the people from the Blue Spring sect bring out their beast.

Alex already had Whisker out, so he too didn't hesitate and brought out Pearl immediately. Pearl shook himself once to get rid of the random drowsiness.

Once there was nothing more to think about, Alex started walking up the mountain.
