Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 2355 Skipped?

Alex felt at his Dantian, then his Qi, and finally his entire self to make sure he had, in fact, reached the Immortal Origin realm as he had thought. Every single part of him told him that he had done it, that he had achieved the breakthrough.

And yet, none of him could accept this fact.

None of him could accept that he had done it without fighting his Inner Demon.

What had happened there? It confused Alex.

Had he really met with his Inner Demon and not remembered? That wasn't right. Then had he really just skipped it? Surely he wasn't so perfect that he had no issues for the Inner Demon to exploit.

Hell, he could think of multiple such points of contention himself. That was not the

case.

"Then... am I perhaps fighting my Inner Demon right now?" Alex wondered. He had never known an Inner Demon to show up as an illusion, but then he had never known it to skip people either.

So there was a first time for everything.

Alex frowned. Everything felt so real. The feeling of his elevated cultivation base, the feeling of a greater awareness in his Spiritual Sea that had emerged upon reaching this realm, and even those weird little pulses that emanated out of his Soul Space, which he couldn't make sense of.

Were none of those real?

"Whisker, can you hear me?" Alex called out.

Alex waited, wondering if this was a way to figure out the truth.

"Brother?" Whisker replied. "What do you need?"

"Nothing," Alex said. "Are you real?"

Whisker didn't answer for a moment. "How do I reply to that, brother?" he asked. "Are you alright?"

"I just broke through," Alex said.

"Really?" Whisker's voice came back immediately, sounding like a hundred cheers with his excitement. "Congratulations."

"Thanks," Alex said. "But there is an issue. I don't think I went through an Inner Demon."

"No Inner Demon?" Whisker asked.

Demon."

"No Inner Demon?" Whisker asked.

"Yes," Alex answered, still trying to make sure he wasn't in an illusion, caught by the Inner Demon. Something pulsed from his Soul Space again.

'What is that?' he thought with half a mind, but then Whisker's voice came back, saying something that startled him.

"Just like me."

Alex's mind snapped back to the topic, racing back to the day when Whisker reached the Immortal realm.

He had skipped his Inner Demon too.

"Just like you?" he asked. "But no, that is different. Your cultivation relies on me, so there is nothing for the Inner Demon to do there."

Whisker took a moment to reply. "Then why did you have to fight my Immortal Tribulation?" he asked.

"Well, that's because..." Alex couldn't come up with an answer that wasn't something he knew was a lie.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

'Damn, he's right,' he thought. 'If Whisker's Immortal Tribulation came for me, then it would make sense for the Inner Demon to come for me as well. But... it didn't. There was no Inner Demon at that time either!

Was the Inner Demon just something that didn't exist in the Immortal realm? Or was he somehow... special?

'Dammit! What the hell is going on?' Alex thought.

He knew, based on many accounts, that Inner Demons were definitely still a thing. So the only common factor here between those two times was him.

'Is the Inner Demon eluding me?" Alex thought.

Something pulsed within him again.

'What is that?' Alex thought, searching for the source of the pulse. But the pulse was gone now, and he couldn't find the source. He would have to wait for it.

"This is real, brother," Whisker told him. "You are not in any illusion."

Alex felt somewhat relieved. "It appears so," he said. He really had broken through to the Immortal Origin realm.

"I will talk to you later. I need to finish consolidating my cultivation base," Alex said and began focusing himself on cultivating again. The stronger Qi flowed through his veins, his entire body buzzing at its passing.

From time to time, he felt as though his Soul Space pulsed again and again, but the

He needed to consolidate his cultivation base for now anyhow, so he chose to ignore that for later.

After an hour or so of cultivation, Alex finally stopped. There was still more to do, but he wanted to check out the status of his current Spiritual Sea.

Since that was where his Origin was to be created, he wanted to see what had been prepared for him.

Alex entered his Spiritual Sea as an avatar of himself, his body way more physical now than it ever was. He was still translucent for the most part, but that was not something that could be changed as he was but a figment of his own self.

Arriving in his Spiritual Sea, Alex first noticed how vast it had grown. The place still looked like a sea with an overcast sky, but now that sea looked more like an ocean, extending forever.

That was just how he imagined it though, and certainly the size of his sea was much smaller. The water below him -the spiritual energy as it manifested here was much lower than any normal person would have.

Due to how his spiritual energy improvement technique condensed the energy, making its quality higher while lowering quantity, it would take a long time before this sea looked as if it wasn't in the state of an ocean during low tide.

Alex ignored everything else and searched for something. The giant silver mountain that was now no more than a boulder remained far away, and Godslayer was right there too, the darkness and death surrounding it now almost nonexistent.

Was it time for him to finally wake up?

Alex's thoughts were immediately pulled away as he finally saw something in the air before him, shimmering like a splinter in space through which soft white light spilled

out.

His Origin.
