Chapter 1641 Blackheart City

"It happens every other day," Jai Heiyun answered Alex when he came to meet her. "I don't know how he's doing it, but he's been doing pretty well with forming pill clouds. He's very consistent too."

Alex grimaced when hearing that. The Dragon Emperor had gotten good, and he would only continue to get better. "And he wants the final trade next year too," he said softly.

"What trade?" Jai Heiyun asked curiously.

"Not something for you to worry about, child," Yao Ning said from the side. The two elders were grimacing the same as well.

After arriving in the Dragon Capital a week ago, Alex had gone to the palace to stay for a few days. At that time, the servants of the palace had notified the Dragon Emperor of his arrival, and Alex had expected to have to meet the man soon.

However, instead of asking him to meet him, the Dragon Emperor had simply sent a single message. noVe.lB)1n

"I will meet you in a year when we'll have our final trade," he had said.

Alex very much openly frowned now, causing Jai Heiyun to get worried about what was happening.

Seeing that he was causing others to worry, he quickly let go of his expressions and instead put on a simple smile. "Anyway, it is time for me to leave," he said. "Once again, congratulations on your results in the Realm of Trials. Getting white there is no laughing matter."

"It's all thanks to you, Your Majesty," Jai Heiyun said with a proud look on her face.

Alex walked away. He said his goodbyes to the other cultivators once more, including Wu Shun, who was now a better cultivator than most of the ones that Alex had brought along from the Southern Continent.

After saying his goodbye, Alex went to the Teleportation house from where he teleported to the Blackheart City with a small honor guard to keep him company.

Wan Deming, the Ebony king was there to welcome him to Blackheart City, the Capital of the Ebony Kingdom.

Tall black walls surrounded the city with spires inside that grew to be large. While the outside walls were painted black, the inner city was as colorful as every other place.

They returned to the palace and the King hosted Alex as well as any other monarch had. They chatted when they had the chance and shared knowledge and stories of their past.

Alex got to understand the king closely and felt like he was a friend. A week later, they were ready to leave for their journey.

"Where are we going?" Alex asked him.

"The Celestial Peak," the King answered.

Alex showed a hint of surprise. He had known about the place and had even been planning to go there himself when he had the chance.

"What are you going to do in the Celestial Peak?" Alex asked curiously. From what he could tell so far, the Celestial Peak was simply the tallest mountain in all of the continent, perhaps the entire world.

As such, people didn't exactly live there.

"We're going to the Blackspine city that is right next to the Celestial Peak," the King said. "There are 2 great families and 2 notable sects in that region. I will deal with them, while you can enjoy your journey to the highest peak of the world."

Alex nodded excitedly. "I would love to go to this peak," he said.

"You will love the sunrise you see from this place," the man said.

Alex was about to say something when he felt like he missed something in those words that he needed to revisit.

"Blackspine City," he said softly. "I have heard this name before, in relation to something else. What was it?"

He tried to go through his memories as the name couldn't have been that much in the past.

"It's not a surprise you've heard of it," the King said. "It's where I come from. Or rather, it's where the sect I used to belong to still is."

That was when Alex finally remembered.

"That's right," he said with a surprised look. "That's where the Mountain Crushing sect is located."
