Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy-Novel

Alex arrived inside the demon realm and immediately felt something was off.

It was the same feeling he got from the Beast realm.

‘So it wasn’t because of the beast realm?’ he thought even before looking at his surrounding. Immediately, a few things became clear to him.

Whatever this feeling was, he was feeling it because he was inside a secret realm. What that had to do with the feeling was unclear, but he at least knew that it wasn’t the beast realm only that made him feel that way.

That did make him question what he had felt 4 years ago, but he didn’t care enough to keep thinking in that direction.

Now that he was in the demon realm, there were more pressing matters that he had to look towards.

First of all, he needed to locate just where he was.

The Demon realm was massive in size and given that he had appeared in the forest, Alex couldn’t exactly see the mountains to see where he should be going.

Fortunately, it was still early morning so Alex could use the sun for directions.

He saw the rays of light fall through the forest from the right-hand side, so he knew he had to walk straight ahead to go towards the north.

Since he had just 2 objectives in the demon realm this time around, he wanted to finish them both as quickly as he could. It was just an added bonus that both the 5th and the 6th mountain lay to the north.

Alex sprinted.

He saw a few people along the way, but he didn’t stop to greet them or even looked at them.

He wanted to go to the closed houses as soon as he could before too many people gathered up around him.

After entering a relatively open area with sparse trees, Alex saw the chromatic boundary of the secret realm not far away from him to the left.

Seeing how it curved at the front, he finally had an accurate guess of just where he was.

Alex turned and ran east.

The 5th mountain was to his right from what he could tell, so he needed to change his direction.

He wished he could fly and get there quickly, but the suppression field didn’t let him fly above 5 or so meters.

“Wait, what if I wear the medallion?” Alex thought. He brought out the medallion while he dashed through the forest and wore it on him.

He placed it inside his robe, even underneath his armor, and tried to fly now.

However, it didn’t seem like he could still fly.

‘Weird, don’t I have the authority for it now?’ Alex wondered. However, if he couldn’t fly then he couldn’t fly.

He ignored the thought of flying and continued running through the forest.

It wasn’t until an hour or so later that he saw the giant mountain through the thicket of the trees and recognized it as the 5th mountain, the mountain where the demons lived in the past.

Alex wondered how long it the past that was, as he hadn’t gotten an accurate answer from anywhere yet.

Not long after, he arrived at the foot of the 5th mountain and saw a few people gathering there already as they went through the houses.

Some of them were told about the House of the Undying at the top of the mountain, and they rushed there to see if anything was left behind on accident last time.New ᴄhapters are published on Fɪre.net

Sounds of banging came from everywhere as the newly entered young men and women used every attack in their arsenal to try and break through the doors of these houses.

However, Alex could read the runes on the doors. He could read every single one and tell what it was supposed to do.

He could tell that these doors were meant to stop anyone without the right authority from entering. Authority, that one could only hold in physical form.

The medallion Alex wore was most likely not the authority the door was looking for, but he could tell that the medallion was like a master key, that worked on every single door.

He spread his spiritual sense around and saw a few people looking at him. He waited until they looked away and walked over to a door before placing his hands on it.

Pure Qi flowed out from his palm and the door cracked open. Alex nodded as that was what he would have expected to happen.

The moment the door cracked open, Alex sent his spiritual sense inside to look if it was worth it to even open the door fully.

Unfortunately for him, there was nothing left inside.

Alex locked the door and the barrier was reinstated. Then, he walked towards another door.

People kept staring at him from all directions. Not too long, but enough to make him conscious about freely opening the doors.

They would look away most of the time but turn to look at him for some of it.

Alex frowned as he started hating his own fame. While it was useful in most cases, in cases like this, he couldn’t get any freedom.

Still, he used up the chance of people not looking at him to open more of the doors and look inside.

Alex didn’t find anything inside. If there were anything, it would have already rotted with time.

He found weapons that were rusted, beds that were on the verge of collapse, and clothes that were one touch away from crumbling to dust.

After going through nearly 5 more houses did he find something of worth. Another diary.

Alex smiled when he saw it.

He didn’t want the weapons or techniques from these houses. After all, as far as he could tell, this place belonged to folks in the True Realm.

Only some of the bigger houses were for people in the saint realm and those were already low at the time of war.

The Eternal War for Dominance should have already whittled their numbers down to a few.

No, what Alex wanted to find here was obviously information about the other location he wanted to go to.

After reading up on the previous diary he had found 10 years ago, Alex knew that when the war had ended, the inhabitants of this secret realm had left.

And when they did, Alex didn’t see why they would bother leaving anything that wasn’t useful to them behind.

The Undying God, their young lord, was trapped in cultivation, fighting to save his spirit at the time. So, with the authority medallion with him, they couldn’t empty the library, or the House of the Undying.

They had likely emptied the Alchemy mountain, but it had most likely grown again in time.

The training and crafting mountain as well as the cultivation mountain wasn’t something they could take and were left behind.

So, they had taken the only thing they could. The object they owned in their houses.

Fortunately, some of them had deemed their diaries unnecessary as well, and Alex got to read what was written in this rotten one.

[Mother died the other day. I will kill those damn with my own two hands.]

[The young lord is choosing a few of us to pass down his technique to. I hope I’m one of them, but I would like to be Saint realm before that.]

[Fei Hualing didn’t break through to the Saint realm yet, so he is struggling to even see where he is going without any assistance.]

[I avenged you, mother. I avenged you. I killed those humans in battle. I carved your name with their blood on the snow.]

[The young lord was ambushed by 4 humans in the blizzard. I saw him dance with death. I saw him find glory.]

[I wonder why the young lord is making us find so many of these mouses.]

[We set out for battle today. Whoever manages to prove themselves will get to inherit the Undying inheritance.]

[The immortals themselves came down to strike the young lord. He managed to save his nascent soul, but I could see that he was hurt. What will happen now? Will he be okay? Who will look after us?]

[So many of my friends and family died, but I lived to see the war come to an end. Should I be happy that I didn’t die? Or should I be worried that we will now be ruled by these beasts?]
