Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Chapter 2160 The Memory of God

The Trueflame Continent was quite large. It was not as large as the Blue Silk Continent —which was about as large as the entirety of the lower realm he had come from— but was still decently large.

Alex walked outside of a teleportation formation, along with Silvermist who looked nothing like himself at that moment, and Grimsight, who was forced to do the same and appear different.

Pearl did not appear any differently than his usual self.

Because Silvermist did not want people to find out he was with Alex, he opted to appear completely different while they went around the continent, showing Alex the key locations while they traveled.

He seemed to believe quite a bit that Alex would need to learn about the continents before the tournament took place. Alex wasn’t sure why that would be, but he didn’t question it.

Anything that took him away from his monotonous life of cultivation and making pills was more than welcomed at the moment.

They had come to the northern-east part of the continent, and the very first place they went to check was a spirit herb valley where tons of natural ingredients grew.

It was a treacherous land with many dangerous plants that could even kill Immortals if one was careless, and it was the first place Silvermist brought him to.

They walked through the valley, Silvermist showing him what to be aware of and what not to mess with. Alex hadn’t expected such incredible plants to exist in this region at all. And the thing that surprised him the most was that this spirit herb valley was not under anyone at all. It was a free location for anyone to gather their ingredient from, should they be able to.

Alex didn’t need his master’s aid in treading through this place. With a single glance, he knew what he needed to do and what not to do. The knowledge in his mind came in super handy when it came to almost all sorts of plants.

After touring the valley, they left, moving on to another place on the continent. They arrived at the foot of that mountain range on the midwestern section of the continent and began traveling around the mountains to see what sort of ingredients they could find there.

Once again, the places they visited were under no one in particular at all.

Alex was a bit too confused at this point. A question that had been going around in his mind but never had the time to ask finally came to him and he asked it outright.

“Master, who rules this continent?”

“Nobody,” Silvermist said with a confused look. “I thought you knew that already.”

Alex shook his head. “Nobody?” he questioned. “Someone has to rule it, right?”

“Each city is ruled on its own by a faction that exists there,” Silvermist explained. “It may be a city lord, some family, or a sect. Maybe even a court. Even then, calling it ruling isn’t correct. They just keep peace and order around the place, that’s it. They don’t make any important rules for people to follow.”

“Is Silvermist City the same? Does your court rule over it?” Alex asked.

“No, we have a City lord. The city’s name just happens to be mine is all,” Silvermist explained.

Alex could not believe that there was a continent out there that was not ruled by someone. “Are all lands in the Medicine World like that?” he asked.

“All except God’s Domain and Medicine Continent,” Silvermist said. “One is ruled by the Alchemy God’s faction, and the other by a royal family.”

Alex nodded with some understanding of the situation. They continued their journey around the continent, spending no more than a week to a month in one place before leaving for another. A few months later, they arrived at Wineweed City. Despite Silvermist not wanting to come here, he still had to bring Alex here since a rather important secret realm lay here.

The secret realm was called the Memories of God. It was an inheritance site, set up by the fourth Alchemy God who was certain he was going to die. It was unsure how he had died, but he had.

“This Alchemy God, was he part of that 10 Stars tournament by any chance?” Alex asked Silvermist.

“I don’t believe so,” Silvermist said. “He came afterward, and was about as talented as us.”

Alex was taken aback. “About as talented as you? Does that mean you are talented enough to be an Alchemy god, master?” he asked.

“If this was the past, yes. After the first Alchemy God died, it left a vacuum that could be filled by just about anyone else. He was at such a height that anyone who followed him was bound to be in his shadow.”

“The second Alchemy God was not that much better than me. He just took on the opportunity before me and became the Alchemy god. If I had known I could’ve done that, I might have done that too,” Silvermist said.

“What about after he died? Did you not know that was happening at that time or did you not choose to become one for the time being?” Alex asked. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

“I had thoughts of becoming the Alchemy God at the time. When the second Alchemy God died, I was ready to become one. But since I was busy with the war, I decided to wait for a couple thousand years before I challenged him,” he said.

Alex wasn’t expecting that information at all. “Master, you were part of the war? Shouldn’t alchemists not be in a war?”

“I wasn’t fighting in the war. I was on the backline, helping the fighters by making them the pills that were needed during the war. Almost all of the alchemists were like that.”

“Woah!” Alex said. “I never even thought you could have been a part of the war.”

Silvermist chuckled. “I was in the war and was quite hardworking too. And my hard work paid off quite well. I met Brother Grim, who has been helping protect me ever since.”

Grimsight nodded from the side.

“It was also because of Brother Grimsight that I gave up on the idea of becoming an Alchemy God at the time. Even after the war was over, I never wanted to become one. And then, the current Alchemy God came around and… well, I have no chance of becoming the next Alchemy God even if I want to now.”

Alex narrowed his eyes a little. “Is he that good?” he asked.

“His Majesty is the greatest Alchemist when it comes to understanding ingredients and their energy. He can weave together energy like nobody else, making pills you couldn’t even imagine could exist. He is deservedly the Alchemy God.”

Alex was stunned to hear such praise from his master. Maybe he had been underestimating the current Alchemy god because of how highly he viewed the first Alchemy God.

Just because the current Alchemy God had one of the first Alchemy God’s treasures did not mean that he was entirely talentless. There was still a reason why he had managed to make such good use of that treasure.

Without a doubt, the man deserved his current Title. He deserved to be called the Alchemy God.
