Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Blood Aura was nothing more than just Qi. It was Qi that had transformed inside a human or beast’s body and embedded itself into one’s blood thanks to the Blood Essence.

Blood Aura could not be freely converted into Qi, but it was possible if one used some techniques that allowed for it. This usually applied to blood aura outside of one’s body, but there were secret techniques or forbidden ones that allowed for the blood aura in one’s own body to be changed into Qi.

However, that was something very rare and only a handful of techniques existed that made it possible for someone to use it like that.

Conversely, no techniques existed that could turn Qi into a blood aura. It took time for the Qi in one’s body or the surroundings to be absorbed by the Blood Essence to turn into blood aura. 

There were techniques that could speed up the process, even by just a bit. However, none were significant enough to say that they made enough of a difference in the conversion. At least, not to the point where it could be useful in a moment of need such as a life-threatening moment.

However, just because there was no technique to do so did not mean that it could not be done.

And that was…

Bai Jingshen stayed in his massive quarter doing nothing as he couldn’t even cultivate. There was no Qi in this realm that could help him cultivate at all, so all he could do was spend time with his wives and concubines.

However, at the moment, he was alone. He had wanted to be alone.

That was because he wanted to see just what was going to happen, or if something even was going to happen. 

For the past week, the heavens acted as if they would descend multiple times. There were only two instances where that sort of phenomenon could happen.

The first possibility was that someone had tried to learn a Dao and had failed. Bai Jingshen didn’t believe that was the case here at all. He would imagine a person would stop after the second or third failure and try something later.

So, the only other possibility was that someone was breaking through to a higher realm. 

Breaking through and learning a dao brought about a similar phenomenon. It was why many people mistook someone for breaking through when in fact they had learned a dao.

The phenomenon was happening once more in front of Bai Jingshen and he understood that someone was breaking through to the next realm. 

He also understood that someone was none other than Alex.

Normally, he wouldn’t be curious about someone breaking through at all, however, this instance was unique. After all, he had never seen someone do it multiple times in such a short time while also knowing they were fine with breaking through without stopping.

Because doing so gave one an opportunity that most people wouldn’t get in a lifetime.

Because he had been breaking through multiple times in the short period, he had felt the heavens descend multiple times in the short period.

Because the heavens were also the worldly laws, Alex got to take a peek into them multiple times.

Because of that, Bai Jingshen could only imagine if what he was thinking was going to happen at all. He had wondered if that would happen multiple times during the past few days when the phenomenon had occurred.

However, it looked like it was only today that it was going to happen.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

“It’s starting,” he said to himself with quite a bit of surprise. It wasn’t every day that someone got to see someone learn a dao due to getting to take a peak into the worldly laws multiple times.

Bai Jingshen could only watch excitedly as the worldly laws descended and remained there for a while. He tried to look into it, to see which of the law it was that was being taken from and learned.

However, it didn’t look like it was a law that he understood at all. Alex was learning a dao that he had no idea about.

Around the palace and even beyond it, the beasts were surprised to see that someone was learning a dao. It wasn’t every day they got to see that either here.

Liz and Hao Ya had only just returned from the location of the formation when they too noticed it.

“Someone’s learning a dao,” Hao Ya couldn’t help but say.

“Hmm, learning a dao without going to the Dao mountain is not an easy task,” Liz said. “I wonder if it’s Alex that’s doing it.”

“Another one, huh?” Scarlet looked to the sky with nothing but shock in her eyes. “At this rate, he’s going to catch up to me very soon.”

Helen could only imagine what was even happening. She knew about Dao, but she had yet to learn a single one. So, she could only watch and pray that her son succeeded in learning the dao.

* * * * *

Alex was having the weirdest sensation right now. Never before had he tried to break through and learn dao at the same time.

He would’ve assumed that splitting his attention to either would cause him to fail both, however, there seemed to be harmony in what he was doing.

Learning the dao seemed to make his breakthrough easier while breaking through seemed to make learning the dao easier.

Thanks to both sides aiding each other, Alex was easily getting across both hurdles at the same time.

The worldly laws seemed to transcend space and time, completely disregarding the time manipulation in the room to make contact with Alex.

His golden core that was in his dantian had grown each time he broke through. By now, it was less than half the size of the dantian and was only growing to become half the size as the breakthrough was underway.

With each breakthrough, the connection his spirit held with his body was getting thinner and thinner. More and more of it was dragged into his golden core, where it would remain until it was time to break free as a beautiful nascent soul.

At the same time, Alex was peeking past the veil of worldly laws, unraveling the one thread of the loom he had caught on to. With each passing instance, he was learning more and more.

Blood aura and Qi were the very same thing in essence, and yet it wasn’t easy for them to take the form of each other.

Blood aura required extremely rare or dangerous techniques to turn into Qi, and Qi could not be converted into blood aura unless the person had a physique that allowed for it.

However, Alex was now learning how to do exactly that without the help of any body constitution or forbidden techniques. 

The moment he learned that which was hidden in the veiled worldly laws, his golden reached a size that was exactly half the size of his dantian.

As such in one single moment, Alex reached the Saint Core 5th realm and also learned the Dao of Blood Aura.
