Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy,926 Yin and Yang - Read free novels online

Alex sat down and cultivated. While he had now broken through to the Saint Realm, there still were a few different things he needed to do before he could just stand up and walk.

The main thing he had to do for now was making sure his foundation was stable.

As he did, he also started looking into the mysteries in the lightning aura that lingered around them.

Pearl came and sat next to him, and so did Whisker. Pearl too started looking into what he could in the aura around him.

Alex tried to learn the mysteries the best he could, but it wasn’t very long before he realized there was something wrong with the lightning aura.

It wasn’t just lightning that had struck from the heavens. It was tribulation lightning, something that was completely archaic and distant from anything any cultivator could ever hope to understand.

While normal lightning stemmed from Wood Qi, tribulation lightning came directly from the heavens with no aura that anyone would be naturally familiar with. It was heaven’s one and only weapon for making sure those that did not deserve something did not have it.

As such, Alex had a hard time finding the law behind the lightning. Still, he tried what he could.

Who knew, maybe one day he would learn the Dao behind the Tribulation lightning itself.

As Alex continued, Pearl continued as well, slowly understanding what he could of the aura that still lingered.

He was surprised how much easier this aura was to understand given how hard a time he had on the ancient battlefield.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t learn a new dao. The aura simply didn’t linger long enough for him to understand it.

Alex realized that the lightning aura had disappeared as well. So, he stopped focusing on the aura and started focusing on himself.

He sent his new and strong spiritual sense all around him, surprised at how far he could see with the 5 Kilometers distance.

He looked outside with his new eyes, seeing everything slow down again.

The bright sunlight that had passed through the sky after his tribulation was over was once again filled with clouds as it continued snowing.

Alex then closed his eyes and looked into his own body. With a stronger spiritual sense, he started looking into his own body.

He started with the head where he saw his Spiritual sea. Alex entered it and saw that not much had changed there aside from the lake being a lot bigger and denser.

‘Actually, has the mountain changed size?’ Alex wondered. He couldn’t tell exactly as he never focused on the shape of the mountain when he entered here.

“You broke through, kid? Congratulation,” Godslayer spoke from the side.

“Yes, thank you,” Alex replied. “Do you think this mountain looks a little smaller than before?”

“Of course it does. It’s supposed to,” the Godslayer said. “You can’t expect to come here from time to time, absorb so much of it, and still have it remain the same.”

“Right, I have been doing that, but it still looks smaller than I expected it to be. When was the last time I came here?” Alex wondered.

“Beats me,” Godslayer said. “I can’t really tell how much time has passed.”

Alex thought about it for a bit and realized that he hadn’t entered this place since after he learned Sword Aura and broke through to the 8th True Emperor realm.

‘It has been so long,’ he thought. And yet, somehow there weren’t that many silver threads floating in the sky.

‘I wonder what happened to them,’ Alex wondered. ‘Can I subconsciously absorb them now?’

Alex poured his yellow fog onto the mountain, but nothing happened. It was all the same.

Once he checked everything, Alex returned back out and continued. He checked his bones, his skin, his muscles, and even his meridian as he went down.

His organs were fine, so he quickly moved down until he reached his newly forged dantian.

To his senses, the dantian was a transparent ball of pure white energy. The light that shined through it was incredibly sharp and strong.

Alex easily saw the spiritual roots coming out from either side, the 16 different meridians, 2 each.

Then, he went deeper and saw his own Qi. The sea of Qi that was the Dantian looked clean and pristine. With nothing blocking his view, Alex could now see how much Qi he had and he didn’t have.

‘I wonder if I will have to completely fill this up to enter the next realm,’ Alex thought.

Just then, he felt something. Alex’s attention shifted to something that was inside the Qi, hiding beneath the sea.

Alex slowly sent his own sense down through the sea and was beyond surprised when he saw something.

Hiding deep underwater in the ocean was a ball of pure yellow energy and an orb of pure bluish-white energy.

The two spheres were constantly pulling and pushing each other, sending out waves of energy. When one energy overpowered the Qi around there, the other one would also send its own energy to balance that out.

However, instead of destroying each other, the energy merged to become just single pure energy.

There was no chance Alex wouldn’t recognize it at all.

The yellow sphere was the fruit he ate back in the deserts beyond the Forbidden Fields, the Nine Heavens Yang Fruit.

That was the fruit that went into his Dantian and stayed there for years, constantly turning his Qi into Yang, and thus imbalancing his entire body to be nothing but full of Yang.

It was only solved when he ate the other sphere in there, the one whose name he did not know yet.

He knew both these spheres were in his body, and he even knew they were in his Dantian, but this was the first time he was seeing them so clearly.

This to him was very surprising and enlightening.

At the same time, people from all around the state of Dong and Shuang started flying in his direction.

The phenomenon that Alex had created when he went through his lightning tribulation hadn’t gone unnoticed. People were only extremely scared to get in between someone’s attempt at breaking through to the immortal realm.

They only came afterward to either see someone ascend for the first time in what eons, or see them fail as every single other person had in the last thousands of decades.

Alex sensed them when they entered his range of spiritual sense and in the next few seconds, their spiritual sense was on him.

When they realized that the person who was there was just a young man, they were quite surprised.

They flew up to him without hesitation when they came to understand that he was just a newly ascended Saint realm cultivator.

Alex quickly placed Pearl and Whisker into their beast space and slowly got up to greet the many people who had arrived.

When they all finally saw him clearly, they were surprised to realize that they had no idea who he was.

“Young man, who are you?” they asked.

Alex looked up at the many people that stood around. He was surprised that he recognized quite a few of them, as most of the people that had come were from the Frozen Heart sect.

He bowed a little towards them. “Greetings, seniors.

It was indeed I that broke through just now.”

“You brought down the lightning just before?” someone asked.

“Yes,” Alex said calmly.

“Ah! We expected too much, I suppose,” one of the elders said. They were all surprisingly calm about what Alex had just done.

He would’ve expected people to be more surprised than they seemed to be.

“So, we have another one, huh?” someone said.

“What is it now? 3?” another person said.

“I think so?” someone else replied.

‘3? Are they talking about new Saint realms that went through a lightning tribulation?’ Alex wondered. That would mean that there had to be other people that learned Dao before entering the Saint realm.

‘Ah, right,’ he thought. He remembered at least one person like that. An image of a woman veiled in a red robe floated in his mind. The same person he had seen 2 years ago on the Dao mountain.

‘There must be more than me then,’ he thought. It wasn’t as surprising of information as he would’ve thought it would be, but it certainly was interesting.
