Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

There was another lightning bolt forming in the sky. A third Dao lightning was ready to strike down on Scarlet at any moment.

Alex looked to the sky in utter shock.

Dao was not something that was easily learned by anyone. For a regular person. Learning a single dao was considered amazing. Learning two was considered brilliant. Learning anymore made people think the individual was a heavenly genius.

In Scarlet's case, while she had only technically had 2 Dao Lightnings, the second one was for the True Fire Dao, which meant she had learned enough Fire Dao that she had managed to piece together every other Dao related to Fire and learned the entire concept.

So, in a sense, she hadn't learned one dao, but multiple. As such, Alex had found it acceptable that only two Dao lightning would fall upon her and not more.

However, upon seeing the third Lightning bolt, he was surprised that Scarlet had learned even more than that, making her quite exceptional. It contradicted the information that Scarlet had said about herself from time to time in Alex's presence.

The Heavenly Beasts that came to rule the world for 10 thousand years were actually individuals of average talent. The real geniuses of the family were never sent away on such a useless venture outside. They were kept hidden and trained so they could become a robust pillar for their family.

Had Scarlet just fallen through the heavenly beast's net and considered untalented, when she actually was quite talented? Or were the heavenly beasts just such great creatures that even this much talent was considered average at best?

That was very surprising for Alex, but one thing that surprised me more right now was the aura in the sky.

The Dao lightning was supposed to fall in order of just how difficult they were to understand and just how much stronger than Heaven considered the dao to be.

If this Dao lightning was falling after the True Fire Dao then… was there a Dao that Scarlet knew which was better than True Fire Dao?

Scarlet's body suddenly started burning again with bright light, and the world seemed to dim in response to her brightness. A mass of aura buffeted the surroundings around her, causing a tempestuous storm to spread away from her.

Scarlet's body started to glow bright white as the fire burned even more. The heat from her body reached to the people on the ship, forcing them to use their cultivation to stop it.

At the same time, Scarlet's body grew bright to the point that no one could keep their eyes open anymore. Everyone shied away from the light, waiting just for what happened next.

The light dimmed and little and then grew again. Then an explosion followed it.

The strongest explosion that anyone had ever sensed just yet shook the ship that everyone stood on, sending the entire thing backward with a lot of force.

At the same time, the sound from the explosion was strong enough that it sent everyone's ears ringing.

It was a long time before anyone opened their eyes again. Alex was the first of the few to do so and he looked at the aftermath of the explosion.

The dark clouds were parted by the explosion, leaving a small opening in the sky through which rays of sunlight fell to the ground.

One such beam fell on the center of the storm in the ground, falling onto Scarlet, who was now bloodied and weak. She was hurt and in extreme pain, but she was alive.

She struggled to stand up and looked to the sky again.

The clouds rumbled a deep roar and lightning flashed some more. Aura gathered in them once again, but this time around Alex was very much sure that this aura was just a show.

He could sense Dao of Yang and some sort of separate time aura that was its own thing. There were a few other very much weaker aura, signifying just how far away Scarlet was from understanding those Dao.

The sky continued to rumble some more and then started parting away subsequently. At the same time, everyone felt as though the heavens swooped down from the ground to embrace Scarlet's wounded body.

Immediately, her body began to heal, her strength returning. At the same time, her body automatically started cultivating and they absorbed the energy that came down to her.

Her Qi grew stronger and stronger until a point was reached where in a single moment, they jumped from being Saint Qi to Immortal Qi.

A sonorous ringing sound rippled out from Scarlet's body and she let out a deep phoenix cry that harmonized with the first sound, making a beautiful melody.

Scarlet's body erupted with power, and she took the sky immediately. She flew around the wasteland, letting out her phoenix cries as she did so.

"Let us return," Alex said and the ship quickly flew back toward the Sunborn Sanctuary.

Even though they were nowhere fast enough to catch up to Scarlet, they could hear Scarlet's deep cries all the way through.

Alex looked down from the ship and saw people stopping to do everything they were doing so they could look to the sky in bright surprise.

Alex could hear their cheers all the way from the ship. They cheered for Scarlet and her strength, whether they were from the wasteland or from the mainland.

People praised their Queen and what she stood for. Everything that Alex had been trying to prevent for the past month or so and had failed to do was now done by Scarlet with just one flight.

Her presence gave the peace of mind everyone needed to go about their day even though they knew that War was right around the corner.

Alex and the group soon lost Scarlet due to her speed and returned to the palace. They had only been back in the palace for just a few minutes when they heard Scarlet's sonorous cry once again.

Everyone felt the aura of an immortal approach them in the palace as Scarlet walked through the hallways.

Every man, woman, and child that was in the palace at that time couldn't help but gawk back at her in absolute disbelief.

She walked with her own two feet, her delicate white arms swinging rhythmically at her sides, while she held her beautiful face up high.

A red robe fluttered around her body, seemingly tailored for her exact body. Her red hair curled down to her shoulders, framing her face, and accentuating her glossy red lips.

She arrived before Alex and the others as they were making their way to the palace hall. Everyone had stopped in their tracks now, and they were staring back at Scarlet and her divine beauty.

To some, it was a nostalgic sight from a past so long ago that even memories seemed vague to them.

To others, it was an entirely new sight, one that they had not expected to see at all.

Every single human in the hallway fell to their knees as soon as Scarlet arrived before them.

"Long live the Queen," Qiu Jianhong said out loud.

"Long live Her Majesty," the others followed.

The Southern Continent, after 5 millennia, had finally gotten back their Immortal Queen.
