Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy



As the Golden Core dripped further and further, more and more of the Nascent soul became visible. The spirit became freer and freer with each drop of Qi that pooled down below.

Alex continued cultivating and doing his best to breakthrough, and each with step he went further than before.

Then, after some time, the last drop of the Golden Core dropped into the massive pool that was underneath it and the Nascent soul was finally free.

A soft ringing sound reverberated throughout his entire body the moment the Nascent Soul came free. The moment he became free.

Alex could suddenly feel his spiritual energy growing stronger, growing thicker. Qi around his surroundings was pulled into his body as if by a vortex and the Nascent Soul used it to improve itself, make it stronger.

It was no different than a newborn baby's first cry, and it lasted no more than a minute. But in that minute, Alex felt his spiritual sea grow much larger and his spiritual sense became even stronger than it already was.

It had always been monstrous, having started improving his spiritual sense since when he was in the Self Tempering realm, and improving it throughout the True realms and most of the Saint realm with his small mask. 

Now, it had improved even further, making his spiritual sense that much stronger. He couldn't tell exactly, but he had odd confidence in himself now that he was most likely as strong as a late Saint Soul realm cultivator, if not close to reaching the Saint Transformation realm

He doubted it though.

With another clear ring, the Nascent Soul in his Dantian got into a meditating position and Alex could tell that the breakthrough had become complete.

He had entered the Saint Soul realm.

Alex sat there for a while, looking over himself. Both his Qi and Spiritual energy had gotten far more potent than before, stronger. He let a bit of Qi flow out into his palm and looked at it with a hint of anticipation.

With this strong of a Qi, he could fight Saint Transformation realm cultivators for sure. So long as they didn't use their Immortal Qi that was. There would be no way to do anything to survive that.

He always shuddered when he remembered that clash from 6 months ago.

"At least, this means I don't have to slow down my cultivation progress anymore," he thought. "I can speed it up now that I don't have to worry about anything."

He became happy knowing that his cultivation speed would skyrocket once again, now that it didn't have to be stagnant any longer. However, he had heard that Saint Soul realm cultivators had a harder time cultivating.

But then again, he had heard the same thing about every other realm. This one couldn't be that different. If it was, he would find a way to speed up his cultivation certainly as he always had.

Ignoring that, he focused on the main thing that had improved this time around. His spiritual sense.

'How far does it go now?' he wondered. He spread out a weak spiritual sense around him, seeing how far he could send it out. After a minute or so, trying to hide from other spiritual senses, he was surprised to find that his spiritual sense now spread more than 70 kilometers wide. 

That was nearly double what he had been able to do previously. 

'So strong,' he thought to himself. That was quite the distance he had captured with his spiritual sense. He had seen past the mountain range, past a large field of snow with travelers walking and flying through the thick snow, making their way to this town and the one next over.

He cut off his spiritual sense just then, letting it linger in the air for a while before disappearing. Then, he focused it back on himself. On the one thing he had been looking forward to for a long, long time now.

His spiritual sense entered his body, looking at his core now. The golden liquid, his Qi, was slowly losing color, turning back into transparent Qi as it always had been. At the bottom, the Yang and Yin sources continued spinning slowly, as it always had. 

The Yin bead was slightly stronger than the Yang source, but not very much. At this very moment, it wasn't even converting any of his Qi into the strong Yin Qi just yet. It did show signs of starting, however. 

Alex wondered if there was going to be any change in the rate at which it all changed.

He focused on his Dantian for a little longer, then checked the spirit that floated above the Qi in the empty space of his Dantian. His Nascent Soul.

It had the same transparency and hint of blue and white as the Immortal Soul he had seen in the trials. Initially, it had been naked, but now it seemed it was wearing a robe. 

The exact robe he was currently wearing.

'So it copies what I'm wearing?' Alex thought for a moment, but that didn't feel right. 'No, it copies my perception of myself. That's it.'

He looked at the Nascent Soul for a little longer before looking even deeper inside. He arrived inside his Spiritual Sea and looked around. It was massive at this point.

The deep and cold waters below him that were the Spiritual Energy was now much, much thicker than it had ever been. The space seemed to have widened a lot more now as well. The edges of this world now seemed so much wider.

"Congratulations," Godslayer's voice flew from his right.

Alex turned to look toward the crystalline spherical spirit that floated next to him. There was a thick layer of black smoke that followed behind him, all of which threatened to dissipate into the air, but for some reason was kept tightly held, as if with a net.

"I didn't expect you to do it so easily," he said. "You've become so much stronger now, with just that breakthrough."

Alex smiled. "Thank you. I've been trying for a while," he said. "Are you handling that Shadow Aura well?"

"This?" Godslayer asked. "It's good enough. Although I would much appreciate it if you could find me a way to convert it to Darkness aura."

"Is it difficult?" Alex asked curiously.

"No, not difficult," Godslayer said. "Just… annoying. I can't move as freely as I want to."

Alex chuckled a little and nodded. "I'll see what I can do," he said. "No promises though."

He looked away from Godslayer and at the massive chunk of floating Silver mountain. It no longer looked like the mountain it had been so long ago. Now, it wasn't even half the size.

Alex had been absorbing its aura rapidly, improving his own Space aura, learning more of Space's truths and laws. If he continued for long, he would most likely be able to learn more Space Daos.

But that would be something for a very distant him to think about. "I'll leave now," he said.

"Yes, go. Cultivate and stabilize your foundation," Godslayer said.

"That's not why I'm leaving," Alex said. "There's something else I have to check."
