Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

“Moon Goddess?” Godslayer asked. His voice was filled with understandable surprise as well as a healthy level of skepticism. “How do you know it’s the Moon Goddess’s body? Didn’t you say the kid was unconscious the entire time?”

“A feeling,” Alex said.

“A feeling?” Godslayer sounded angry. “You’re basing such an important piece of information… on a hunch?”

“No, not a hunch,” Alex said. “A feeling. I’m speaking in the literal sense. I felt a connection with the girl like… like our bodies wanted to be together.”

“Like… copulate?” Godslayer asked. “Are you sure that wasn’t just because the girl was… you know, beautiful? Have you been with a woman before?”

“No,” Alex said, a little bashful about answering the question. “But that wasn’t the point I was trying to make. It wasn’t me that wanted it, but my body. And I’m not even sure if it’s copulation or not.”

“I mean… it would make sense when you think about it,” Godslayer said. “There are sects out there that focus solely on dual cultivation between two people, usually ones with yang and yin. So maybe that’s what your body wanted.”

Alex wasn’t sure that was it, but at the same time… it did feel like that.

“Well, ignoring everything else. Imagine if she does have the Moon Goddess’s body. Does that cause any problems?” he asked.

“Don’t think so,” Godslayer said. “It’s not like the Sun God’s body is doing anything more, is it?”

“Well… true,” Alex said. “You’re taking it surprisingly well, I must say. I’m happy about how much you’ve improved.”

“What? At the God talk?” Godslayer asked. “We’re talking about True gods. I was never at odds against them.”

“What about the fake ones? Do you still want to kill them?” Alex asked.

“Kill the fake gods? Maybe… not,” Godslayer said in a soft voice. “Actually, who am I kidding? Of course, I want to kill them. Who am I if not someone that slays gods?”

“Uhh… is that still improvement?” Alex asked.

“It is,” Godslayer said. “I only want to kill specific gods. Not all of them.”‘

“Ooh, that is certainly an improvement,” Alex said. “Which ones? The ones that trapped you?”

“The ones… no, not those ones. Although I would be certainly happy to fight against them, there are others that I want to kill if I can,” Godslayer said. “The Weapons God used to be one of them. And there are a few more.”

“Which ones?” Alex got curious.

“I’ll tell you when I think you’re strong enough to handle them,” Godslayer said, changing the topic. “For now, let’s go back to the Moon Goddess. So she might have the Moon Goddess’s body. Are you going to try and get together with her?”

“She’s 25, younger than my daughter,” Alex said.

“Well… it’s not like she’s gonna stay 25 forever,” Godslayer said. “And I’m not telling you to go for her right now. I’m just asking if you will.”

“Probably not,” Alex said. “It just… wouldn’t feel right if I did.”

“She’s 25. She’s an adult already. Or you can wait a hundred years if that makes it easier for you,” Godslayer said.

“Actually, I don’t think that would make it easier,” Alex said. “Since that is really not the main problem.”

“What is it then?”

“Godslayer, do you believe in fate?” Alex asked.

“Fate?” Godslayer thought for a bit. “I’m not really sure, actually. There is evidence that seers can predict the future accurately if things are isolated, so maybe there is fate. Or maybe that’s just how things are supposed to proceed.”

“Fate, destiny, they probably exist if you really think about it,” Godslayer said. “I don’t think I can really answer that question to your liking. Why did you ask?”

“It has to do with reincarnation,” Alex said. “Do you believe in it?”

“Reincarnation? Not really,” Godslayer said. “If there was, there would be evidence amongst the trillions of people that exist in this world, wouldn’t it?”

“Bai Jingshen said it was real,” Alex said.

“Why does it matter?” Godslayer asked.

“Because that girl has the same body constitution my master had,” Alex said. “The one I told you about a few months ago. The Yin constitution. It’s the exact same.”

“Are you serious?” Godslayer asked.

“Yes!” Alex said. That’s why I’m so confused and so reluctant to do anything.”

“Well… I guess that is understandable,” Godslayer said. “So you believe this girl is your master’s reincarnation because she has the same constitution as your master?”

“Yes,” Alex said.

“Hmm… then doesn’t that mean that every single Sun God’s body that has appeared in the past hundreds of thousands of years is also you?” Godslayer asked. “Do you think you have past lives out there that you can learn about?”

“I don’t know,” Alex said. “Maybe?”

“You must be thinking it was fate for you two to meet,” Godslayer said. “Maybe that’s true, but maybe that’s false. Let’s think of it this way, if it was your fate to meet this girl and your master, would you want something else to have happened?”

“No… absolutely not,” Alex said. “I would never want to not meet my master.”

“Great,” Godlsayer said. “You can stop worrying about it for now. We’ll ask someone that knows more about this than us when we get the time.

“Yeah,” Alex nodded. “I will have to ask either Senior Yang or Bai Jingshen. Hopefully, one of the two know that information. Thanks, I needed to tell that to someone. It would have made me go mad if I didn’t most likely.”

“Sure, that’s alright,” Godslayer said. “Since you seem to have received a benefit from this encounter, try and break through quickly, and find me some Darkness aura. I can’t wait to absorb both that and the Death aura in your book.”

“I’ll try my best,” Alex said.

Once Godslayer stopped speaking, he finally flew through the sky, flying directly toward the Hundred Blossom Valley. There, he quickly saw the two girls who were fighting some plants in the 7th Field which was covered with carnivorous plants.

Alex flipped his Dragon medallion at the people who were trying to stop him and quickly landed next to them.

They turned around and were surprised to see him there. “Your majesty, you’re back!” Talia said.

“Yes, I’m back,” he said. “How are you guys doing? Are you on time?”

“Yes,” Fang Yimu said. “Thanks to Your Majesty’s help, we’ve been able to be faster than before. The Mushrooms were a little difficult since you left, but this one has been easy. There aren’t many varieties of plants that want to kill you.”

“Great,” Alex said. “I sort of missed the mushrooms, so I’ll have to go back. But it seems I can continue properly through here.”

“Did you deal with the problems that the man came with?” Talia asked.

“No, I couldn’t find him the ingredients he wanted,” Alex said. “But I did help him by solving his problem directly. His daughter was sick and I helped heal him. Took me a bit longer than I thought it would, but I’m back now.” 𝚘𝚟𝚕．ｔ

“Let us move through these fields as quickly as we can, so that you ladies can finish it all in time.”
