Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy-Novel



Alex and the Dragon Emperor left the palace in a carriage, while the rest of their people followed them in a different carriage.

The roads were open and empty as if cleared for this very occasion. There were lanterns flying in the sky even in day time and people from far and wide were cheering for them as they watched them go toward the Royal School.

Today was the day of the show match, so the most important figures of the capital were visiting there. The rest of them that weren't allowed in were going to watch what happened through the Newsboards throughout the continent.

The carriage stopped outside the school as the two monarchs got off at the same time. Barely any people were allowed to be around the two except for their personal guards and subjects.

Elder Yao and Elder Liang stayed a step behind Alex while Guqing as well as another woman stayed behind the Emperor.

They walked into the school and were greeted by the many people that were present in the open field. The headmaster and vice headmaster greeted both of them and showed them the way to a stage that was prepared for this particular event.

There were two main seats, with many other seats beside them. Alex and the Emperor sat beside each other while the other four stayed behind them in the 2nd row of chairs.

There were four different rows of chairs, each with about 10 different chairs in a row. Now that 6 of them were filled, the others were time to get filled as well.

The Crown Prince arrived with a woman in tow. The woman wore a beautiful green dress, with black hair filled with gold and jade. Jade earrings hung from her ears while a simple green veil that did nothing to hide her face lay over her face. 

The Crown Prince greeted first and then the woman. The Crown Prince then proceeded to introduce the woman to Alex.

"Your Majesty, this is my soon-to-be wife, Zhan Luoyang," the Crown Prince said. The girl bowed as he said it.

Alex saw a golden badge on her shoulder now that she had come forward. It had a single number written on it.

9.

"Oh, a Level 9 Alchemist. It's a pleasure to meet you, lady Luoyang," Alex spoke.

"Haha, she's one of the other 2 level 9 alchemists in the school," the Crown Prince said with a proud look on his face.

"I must congratulate the both of you then," Alex said. "Please, sit."

The Crown prince sat on the other side of the Dragon Emperor while his fiancee sat beside him.

The next person to walk in was a group from the Azure Kingdom which was where the Dragon Capital was located. The king of the Azure Kingdom was a young man with a thin face and silky black hair.

He greeted himself with the name Long Weiyuan. Alex understood that this man was from a branch of the main royal family, most likely a cousin to the princes.

He went and sat on one of the two empty seats on the other side of the emperor. 

The next person to introduce himself was a gigantic man that went by the name of Jin Xiaojian. He was the King of the Emerald Kingdom that lay to the east of the Azure Kingdom.

From the Silver Kingdom of the West hailed a queen with peach-colored hair. She introduced herself as Mao Yingtai and sat next to Jin Xiaojian, who was already sitting next to  Alex.

From the Gold Kingdom that lay to the north of the Azure Kingdom came a man with a lean body and thin mustache. There was an air of elegance around him as he introduced himself.

"I am Tan Qiu of the Gold Kingdom, your Majesty," he said and bowed toward Alex before walking over to one of the 2 empty seats that were beside Alex.Follow current s on novelenglish.net . (f)ire.ɴet

A white-haired woman in a dazzling white robe landed gracefully on top of the stage. Her robe fluttered in the wind while her hair full of jewelry stayed where it was. She looked young enough to be in her 20s, while also looking old enough to be a grandmother. 

Next to her arrived a man in a black robe. His muscular body was the first thing everyone noticed about him as he was nearly three times as wide as the woman he had arrived with.

"It is a pleasure to finally meet you after seeing your image for the last 2 days, your Majesty," the woman spoke. "I am Song Meifen, Queen of the Ivory Kingdom."

"I am Wan Deming, King of the Ebony Kingdom," the man did a short greeting.

"Greetings. It is a pleasure to meet you both," Alex said and bowed toward the two Kings. The kings went on to seat on either side of the row as those were the only two seats empty now.

People continued coming one by one, but they left as soon as they introduced themselves to Alex.

Many sects and family names were thrown at Alex which he didn't bother remembering at the moment.

Heavens Cleaver Sect, Huang family of the Silver Kingdom, Beast Supremacy Sect, Reallms Beyond Sect, the Northern Jin family, Cloud Iron Sect, Spears Peak Sect, Immortal Saint Pavillion, Tian family of the Gold kingdom, Ice Mist Palace, and many more.

Those names were thrown at Alex one after another as he failed to understand the importance of the people as much as he did the sect itself. The names for him at the moment were just names, so unless he understood what was important about them, it would be hard for him to feel surprised by any of the names.

There were also commanders of the various legions of the army, as well as heads of the other schools that were present for the event.

As this was the first inter-continental for almost everyone in the Eastern Continent, it was treated as quite an important event. As such, all the important figures that could come had come.

More figures were staying amongst the crowd as only so many could sit on the stage.

Alex couldn't help but be surprised by a single fact that he should have gotten used to by now.

He was the weakest person that was there.

Each of the school headmasters, legion commanders, family heads, and sect leaders was all well into the Saint Transformation realm. Even the Crown Prince's Fiancee was in the 1st Saint Transformation realm.

'That's quite the strength,' he thought. There weren't as many people back in the Southern Continent that had this sort of strength.

The Dragon Emperor looked around and spoke, "Manyin, everyone that needs to come has come. Call in the participants. It's time to start the event."

"Yes, Your Majesty," the Headmaster said as she stood up and walked to the front of the platform, looking toward the open stage in front of her where the various staff of the school were ready to accept the participants.

"Bring them in!" she said.

The audience that was on either side of the stage looked towards the side where two separate doors opened, and one by one people started streaming out of it.
