Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy-Novel



Alex flew toward the eastern shore of the Emerald Kingdom. Along with him were his two elders, General Fan, King Jin along with one of his two guards, a few of the kingdom's court officials, and Talia.

She had planned on teleporting there, but when she learned that Alex and the King were taking the ship, she decided to take the ship as well.

Flying past long stretches of grasslands, a few cities, and a whole lot of mountains, Alex could finally see the vast blue ocean in the distance.

It was late afternoon at the moment, so the sun was behind then. As such, Alex could clearly see the many islands that spread across the ocean. There were hundreds if not thousands that he could see just from on top of the ship from far away.

Not even the hazy landscape could stop him from seeing that. The vast expanse of the ocean went on for even more, but there wasn't anything to be seen at some point. 

It was hard to tell how much further the ocean went on.

"Has anyone flown all the way to the east?" Alex asked the people on the ship.

"Many have," the only imperial guard, a man from the Head Legion answered. "At the very edge of this world, you will see the water curl a little, and then… there's nothing."

"Nothing, huh?" Alex asked. It was just as he had been told before. 

At the edge of the realm, there was nothing at all. The world simply ended. What went on further was nothing but outer space, a place with no air, no qi, nothing.

Alex wanted to see that so desperately, but he had to be careful of the many strong beasts that lived in the ocean before he decided to go check on that. He would have to wait for a long while.

The ship flew past the mainland, going toward the many islands. The Endless Shadow Abyss was located on one of these islands after all.

They landed on a relatively normal-looking island that had a city built on it with enough people living to make it a decently sized city. It was the closest island to the Endless Shadow Abyss, so there were plenty of people living here.

They flew into the city after being checked by a member of the Scale Legion and landed directly inside the city.

The city was named after its island which was called Jade's Shadow. The island to its south was called the Endless Shadow island, which held the abyss. 

Once they landed, everyone got off one by one. Talia thanked them for the ride here and quickly left to go meet with her sect that was already here.

It wasn't just the Cloud Iron sect that was here, but almost every conceivable sect in the entirety of the Eastern Continent was here to have their disciples take part in the competition that was held in the Endless Shadow Abyss.

Their plan wasn't to have them win or even just compete in the Endless Shadow Abyss, but to have them train inside of it. Due to the darkness inside the abyss, it made for the perfect place to hone ones's spiritual sense and the sect wanted their disciples to test it out for a while.

Alex walked with the King and was taken to a hotel that was the best of the best in terms of what was available in this location. One had to register for a room in this place months if not a whole year in advance if they wanted to get a room for this time period.I think you should take a look at

And yet, Alex and King Jin were given the best room at the very top of the hotel. 

Alex entered the extravagant hotel and went into the elevator that was made available there as well. General Fan hit the very top button, and suddenly they were zoomed straight to the top of the hotel was over 50 floors tall, each floor consisting of over 50 rooms.The sourcᴇ of this content is Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

Once they arrived, they were each given a room on that floor as there were way too many to choose from. Alex went into the room of his choice and started settling.

The first thing he did before settling was check for anything that could spy on him. He had been thorough each time, so this time was no different as well. Once he made sure there was nothing, he finally relaxed and lay on the bed while calling out to his two beasts to relax with him.

Pearl immediately walked over to the open window and stuck his head out. He regularly ate the pill that Alex had created for him, so his fur was still black and so the chances of him being recognized were low, so Alex let him hang out by the window, looking at the outside city.

Whisker did the same after seeing Pearl do it and followed behind him to watch the city as well.

They saw the massive city with tall buildings that went on forever. They saw the massive span of the ocean that surrounded the island, unlike any other one that they had seen before.

They had seen many islands, but none that were this populated. It was a surprise just how far the humans have come after seeing how populated the island was. Even at the edge of the world, far from the main continent, people still thrived here.

There was a newsboard far below the hotel that Alex hadn't been made aware of before and only now knew thanks to Pearl and Whisker. He quickly walked over and looked at the newsboard to see what he could see they were talking about.

The newsboard mostly talked about all the different people that were coming over to Jade's Shadow Island. There were hundreds if not thousands of big sects, so having each one be individually named was quite something to Alex.

He saw sect names flash by, most of which he had never heard of before. The same went for the clan names as well as anything else that there were many of in the Eastern continent.

There were people's names as well, most of which belonged to talented individuals that had arrived to the island. 

He looked through all of them still, wishing he could get some sort of hint on where his cousin was and what she was doing during this time. However, after a year of this, he knew that he was never going to get any sort of response from his sister.

Alex saw his own name pop up a couple of times before sighing and moving back to the bed where his beasts followed him. 

He couldn't help but wonder if he should go in with his original face, use a different face, or simply just wear the mask in the abyss that would open in 2 days.

After some deliberation, he decided to go in with his own face as that was something that he had revealed multiple times in this face. Everyone on the island practically knew he was there, so there was no point in hiding it.

After the decision was made, Alex went on to relax a little more just by himself and his pets.
