Chapter 1858 Learn More to Know Less
Alex sat in the grass, facing the morning sunlight that fell on his face. Beside him was Pearl, who lay on his stomach with his eyes closed. Close to them was Bai Jingshen who remained in a stance not that different from Pearl. Only, he didn't have his eyes closed.
They had just finished the Azure Dragon's funeral on this side, making a grave for him right next to where Pearl's mother lay.
Now that they were done with that, they were enjoying what was left of the morning.
"What do you have left to do?" Bai Jingshen asked. "You should focus on just breaking through to Immortality from this moment onward, shouldn't you?"
"I have a few more things I still have to do," Alex said. "I feel they are a little important, but I can't be very sure without doing it."
"What sort of things?" Bai Jingshen asked.
"I want to learn a few more Dao. At least Water and Wood Dao if nothing else. I have to go to the Northern Continent for a small task, and then there is the matter of finding land for the trees to grow on. There are a lot more things to do now that I'm thinking about it," Alex said with a sigh.
"How is your cultivation coming along?" Bai Jingshen asked. "Are you doing it as fast as you can or are you taking time?"
"I'm taking my time. I see no reason to hurry up, and I want to make my body reach nigh Immortal realm before reaching there with my Qi," Alex said.
"A Body and Qi of the same strength before reaching the Immortal realm will help you a lot in the Immortal realm certainly," Bai Jingshen said.
Alex nodded. There was also the matter of improving his spiritual strength and his blood aura, but he didn't mention that. That didn't have much to do with Immortality.
"I suppose I'm still thinking of what I need to do before I become an Immortal," Alex said. "And the more I think, the more things end up becoming apparent to me. I fear I haven't even thought of half the things I need to do."
"You do realize that you don't have to do all the things before becoming an Immortal. Some you can do after becoming an Immortal," Bai Jingshen said.
"Yes, but I'll have to leave this world at that time, and that is what I'm worried about mostly," Alex said. "Once I leave, coming back would be... difficult. That is if I even decide to come back."
Bai Jingshen nodded. "What does Senior Yang say?" he asked. "Have you asked if he's okay with you waiting a long time before reaching Immortality?"
"I actually haven't been to him since the war," Alex said. "I need to go, but I've been very busy lately. I should head there soon."
"You do that," Bai Jingshen said. "Also, regarding your Dao. How many Dao do you know right now?"
"My Dao?" Alex asked, quickly counting through things. "Either 23 or 16, depending on if my True Fire Dao counts as a single Dao or multiple Dao. I think they count as single."
Dao of Metal
Dao of Sharpness
Dao of Ductility

"Five, huh? I'm sure you can learn the remaining 5," the White Tiger said. He told Alex what the rest were.
Dao of Conduction
Dao of Reflection
Dao of Rust
Dao of Magnetism
Dao of Alloy
"I already have Heat Conduction, so I should learn Dao of Lightning Conduction, and I can mix the two to make Dao of Conduction. As for the other four, I will have to try," Alex said.
"You have the Supreme Metal Root and a talent I have never before seen. If anyone can learn them all, it is you," Bai Jingshen said.
Alex nodded.
"I will try my best," he said. If he could successfully learn those, he could reduce the number of Dao lightning by an entire 4 bolts. That would make a massive difference in his survivability.
"That makes me a lot less worried about the future, brother Shen. Thank you," Alex said.
"No worries," the White Tiger said with a hint of a secretive smile. "Seeing you grow strong makes me a lot less worried about the future as well."
