Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 2267  Few Questions

Alex heard the woman's words and slowly turned around to look at Pearl. He was the only one she could mean. Pearl seemed similarly shocked as well.

He turned back around. "Pearl is a descendant of a Primordial?" he asked.

"Of course," Rosemist said. "Were you truly not aware?"

Alex shook his head.

"But you know what a Primordial is…" Rosemist said. "Did you perhaps learn the information from someone else?"

Alex nodded. "I had a senior who taught me about them. Also another one of my beasts, a Phoenix taught me too," he said. "Neither of them mentioned Pearl was a descendant."

"Hmm… perhaps they did not know," the woman said.

Alex doubted that. Scarlet, maybe. But there was no way the Divine realm cultivator who was also the disciple of the greatest god alive would not know something like that. He probably simply didn't bother telling him since it served no purpose.

"The White Tigers are a descendant of the Guardian Tiger," Rosemist said.

"Guardian Tiger, huh? Are White Tigers their direct descendants or...?" Alex asked.

"It is difficult to trace their bloodline properly, but they were most certainly not a direct descendant of the Guardian Tiger. They had other bloodlines mixed into them from other feline beasts."

"They were just one of the many that were born from the Primordial's bloodline that just happened to have the capacity to reach the peak of cultivation," Rosemist said. "A happy accident."

Alex remained absolutely quiet as he listened to the woman's information. She knew so much.

"S-senior," Pearl spoke up. "How… how close to a Primordial am I?" Rosemist paused and looked at Pearl, and then at Alex. "You're curious as well," she said.

Alex couldn't help but nod.

She smiled. "I can see that you do not understand a lot about Primordials, which is why you keep asking these questions," she said. "Your question had no answer, in the sense that you are asking the wrong questions."

"What… is the right question?" Alex asked on behalf of Pearl.

"For that, I will need to tell you how the 15 Primordials came to be," she said.

"15? That's it?" Alex asked. He wanted her to continue but he couldn't help but speak out spontaneously from being taken aback. "I would've expected there to be more of them."

"That's because you do not understand what it means to be a Primordial," Rosemist said.

Alex gulped and nodded. "You're right. I do not understand. Please spare me some of your knowledge, Rosemist," he said.

Rosemist smiled. "Anything for my friend." She turned around and began walking. She continued speaking as she did.

"Before I explain about the Primordials, I need to confirm something about you," she said. "I want to ask you a few questions, and see if you can answer them."

"Okay. Ask me," Alex said.

"Do you know what the Life Belt is?" Rosemist asked.

"I've never heard of such a thing," Alex answered.

"Take a moment to try and see if you know it anyway," Rosemist said. "As the humans would call it, Divine the answer."

Alex frowned a little. How was he supposed to do divination? He wanted to protest, but it was better to do as she asked. He closed his eyes, trying to look for an answer that he hoped magically would come to him.

Life Belt. He had never even heard of these words before being uttered by anyone else. He tried. He really tried. But in the end, he couldn't come up with an answer.

"I'm sorry. I have no clue what you are talking about with this Life Belt thing," Alex said.

"No worries," Rosemist said. "You not knowing the answer is part of what I'm testing too. Another question. How many moons are there?"

"In which realm?" Alex asked. "It depends on the realms, doesn't it? There is one moon that is far away from here that is always in the night sky."

Alex pointed to the silver moon that hung in the eastern parts of the sky now, close to a full moon.

"The Myriad Spirit Realm had a local moon. Neither the Eclipsing Heaven nor the Medicine World have another one," he said.

Rosemist smiled. "Next question. What is the realm beyond the Celestial Realm?" she asked.

Alex paused for a moment. This one he knew the answer to. Or at least, he thought he knew the answer. "It's the God realm, isn't it?" he asked. When Senior Yang first began the 'game', he had provided everyone with a list of cultivation realms. At that time, Celestial wasn't the peak like everyone else spoke of it now.

It was the God Realm.

Rosemist's eyes widened with Alex's answer. "How do you know that?" she asked. "Did you learn that by yourself?" Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"No, someone else told me," Alex said.

"Oh…" Rosemist's surprise deflated into disappointment. "Well, I can't say I'm surprised now. Yes, you are correct."

"Any more questions?" Alex asked.

Rosemist shook her head. "I think I have the answer I need," she said.

"So…" "So I will tell you about the Primordials," she said. "As you just said, beyond the Celestial realm lies another realm, the God realm."

"So the God Realm exists?" Alex asked, shock filling him from head to toe. He knew at some level that he had to be correct, but having the information be confirmed was something else.

"Hmm, you're right. I shouldn't say it exists," Rosemist said. "The correct thing to say would be that it existed."

"Why would it not exist…" A thought came across Alex's mind, something he had learned a long time ago. Something that was integral to the reason why something as great as the Eternal War for Dominance happened in the first place.

A reason why they feared it would happen again.

"There is not enough Qi. It's depleted too much," Alex said, his mind rushing to conclusions faster than it could keep up. "It is just not strong enough for people to let anyone else ascend to the God realm."
