Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Godslayer explained what he had done.

Hearing that he had been the vessel to turn Shadow Aura to Darkness aura did not sit right with Alex, especially given what he had done while lost in his rage. However, that had been the sole reason he was even alive right now.

Alex didn't know whether he should be angry at Godslayer or thanking him. The situation called for both.

"Did it succeed then? Did you gather Darkness aura?" Alex asked.

"Yes!" Godslayer said excitedly. "We just need to find a safe space where I can take in the Death aura from that book and then I can improve myself."

Alex nodded. "That will take some time."

He brought out the talisman from the old man and saw that there were multiple messages asking him what was happening. Alex sent a quick reply.

"Leave the island. I killed many of the soldiers, so we'll need to leave immediately. Come find me."

Once he sent the message, he also called back the Blood beasts through the Blood God's manual. It was a good thing he hadn't brought out all the Blood beasts during the fight, and only enough to complete the Hell Emperor's Divine Battle Array.

As the next step in the array was to have 1000 soldiers, Alex didn't have nearly that many blood beasts and thus hadn't brought out every single beast The problem, however, was that the ones who were still alive in the book were the weaker ones.

Once he gave the orders, he looked around and knew what he needed to do next.

Alex flew around the murky ocean, gathering all the different beasts' bodies and beast cores. The blood of the beasts had spread around the ocean, so gathering it all was impossible, but Alex did what he thought was right in that certain situation.

He took in the water from dozens of kilometers around him into his Soul Space, dragging in all the different items that he hadn't had the time to search around for.

While he sucked in all the water with blood from the surrounding, the Blood Beasts arrived and fell into the water, getting sucked into Alex's Soul Space as well.

Alex understood what was happening, but didn't stop. He would deal with the situation at a later time when he would deal with this water as well. For now, everything he could take in, he would.

It took him nearly 20 minutes to take in all the water and, by the end, Zhou Linfan was already there, watching Alex in awe. He had only caught a bit at the end, but even that was already surprising enough that his mouth was wide open.

Alex flew out of the ocean, and the man immediately frowned. "Are you alright?" he asked. "You seem… sickly."

Pearl, who had come with the man, looked worried. He could sense Alex's weakened body and spirit through the bond. He flew closer to make sure he was alright.

"No, I'm not fine, but I will be," Alex answered. He looked at his own skin and realized what the man was talking about. He was much paler than usual and his muscles had decrepit just enough that one could see the outline of the bones.

He touched his face and felt the sunken cheek with the cheekbones hard against the flesh. Even the whites of his eyes were unnaturally yellow in complexion.

Alex's body was showing all signs of dehydration and malnutrition issues despite being the body of a high level cultivator.

He had already eaten a healing pill, but somehow that hadn't dealt with all the problems. He would look at it when he had the time, which he didn't do right then.

"Let's go," Alex said and brought out a ship from his Soul Space before jumping into it. "We will soon have legions behind us. Hopefully, the message hasn't been passed just yet."

Alex got into it, and Pearl jumped in as well. The old man still did not understand what exactly had happened, but he accepted Alex's suggestions and immediately hopped onto the boat as well.

Alex took one look at the sky, and then immediately started flying west.

Once they flew off, Alex gave a small summary of what had happened there, how he accidentally ended up meeting the returning soldiers and fought them.

"I used a forbidden technique to fight them," Alex explained. "I nearly died because of it, but I survived too, thanks to it."

The old man shook his head as he sighed. "You seem to have a lot of those things. I'm going to have you explain some of those one of these days," he said.

Alex put the ship at the highest speed he could and flew above the ocean, heading home. Because of the beasts potentially attacking them out of nowhere, all of them had to be incredibly careful.

Unlike those large ships that the Eastern Continent used, Alex's ship did not have any defensive capabilities and, as such, was much more vulnerable.

They could hide their cultivation bases, but it was impossible to hide the aura left behind by a ship that used Saint Spirit stones to fly across the world.

Therefore, Zhou Linfan decided to fully reveal his aura to the surrounding beasts just so that most would become scared and away from them.

There was the danger of potentially stronger beasts being attracted instead, but that was a risk they had to take here. Otherwise, every other beast could come and bother them along the way.

While Alex would accept all those that wanted to fight him with open arms, the Dragon Emperor or a legion of his strongest would be right behind him at any moment.

Thus, he had to run away as fast as he could.

Alex checked his Soul Space during the night after letting the old man handle the traveling and made sure nothing was wrong there. All he could do there was force the Blood Beasts in the Blood God's manual.

Aside from that, there was nothing he could do with what he had lying in his Soul Space and Storage spaces.

Days passed with them flying without stopping. Alex and the old man cultivated in between, giving each other turns to fly the ship instead.

Alex's complexion got better after cultivating whenever he could.

About 10 days into the flight, Alex had been cultivating and the old man had been in charge of handling the flight. Suddenly, the old man's eyes widened in shock and he stood up in a hurry.

Alex stopped cultivating, noticing that something was amiss.

"What's wrong?" Alex asked the old man.

"Something is coming this way. Something strong," the old man said. "Get ready to fight or we very well may die right here."

Alex immediately stood up as well, bringing out Midnight, ready to fight. However, as he prepared, he felt something inside of him and paused.

"Wait," he said slowly. "That's not our enemy."

A few seconds later, Bai Jingshen arrived right in front of the ship in his giant beast form with Whisker riding on top of him.

"Brother!" Whisker shouted out loud. "You're back!"
