Chapter 1899 Ascension

Chapter 1899 Ascension

Alex sat in front of Ma Rong's grave for nearly 15 minutes, simply having a one-way conversation with his master. As this was most likely the last time he was going to get to talk to her here, he wanted to make the most of this conversation.

Alas, it was time to leave. There were people waiting for him, and he had already angered the heaven by what he did with the Demon Realm. He could force himself to stay much longer if he wanted to, but he decided not to do that.

"I must leave now, Master," Alex said softly and quickly went from sitting to being on his knees. He bowed slowly and deeply. "Thank you for everything you did for me. Goodbye."

Alex stood up and turned to leave. He stopped and turned around one last time. After a bit of thought, he used his True Metal Dao to create a barrier around the grave with the most Intent he could muster at the moment.

That would keep the grave protected for a long time. Hopefully, long enough that when he came back again, the grave would still be here.

Alex flew back to the broken island within minutes, landing on the boat where everyone was at the moment. The broken island had been taken over by the ocean already.

"Here are your swords. I think we found them all." Scarlet handed over the swords Alex had used during the tribulation.

"Thank you." Alex took the swords and put them back into his Soul Space.

"Should we ask how big your Soul Space is now?" Bai Jingshen asked from the side.

"Not if you don't want to feel demotivated," Alex said. "You already saw the size before anyway."

"That I did," Bai Jingshen said.

"Here." Scarlet gave Alex a small talisman. "This is information about my mother. She's a well-known alchemist in the Land of the Blessed Sun. You should not go there within the 800 or so years we still have left to stay here. But if you do end up getting there before that time, contact her. She will help you."

"Don't contact anyone else," Bai Jingshen said. "You don't know what they will do to you if they find out about Pearl. Keep him protected."

"I will," Alex said.

"Also, here are a few pill recipes that I could remember. Unfortunately, unlike my mother, I'm not an alchemist, even though she tried to teach me some," Scarlet handed over another talisman.

"Thank you, Scarlet." Alex looked at the few recipes she gave him and put them into his Soul Space. Along with the recipes Bai Jingshen's wife had given him, Alex now had about 15 Immortal pill recipes in total. Hopefully, those would give him some aid in the Immortal world.

Bai Jingshen brought out a talisman as well and handed it over to Alex. "I have recorded a technique for you here. Do not bother learning it now, it will be useless to you. Learn it when you are in the Immortal Origin realm as this technique pertains to something you do in the Immortal Origin realm."

"Oh? What is that?" Alex asked.

"You'll find out within that talisman," Bai Jingshen said. "Remember, use it when you are safe and alone. The message there will be delivered just once and then all remnants of that talisman will be destroyed."

"The technique was something my master gave me, and I'm giving it to you now. Understand its importance."

Alex's eyes went wide as he understood the origin of the technique. It was something that belonged to none other than the Godkiller.

Alex nodded furiously. "I'll do as you say," he said. "I have other information to get to when I have the time to think through things clearly. I'll use this at that time."

The Alchemy God's Intent in his mind had removed another one of its layers, revealing new information and techniques to Alex that he couldn't wait to get to as well.

Bai Jingshen nodded. "That's all from me. I cannot help you too much."

"I understand."

Alex went to talk with his master, martial uncle, senior sister, and the rest, saying goodbye. Then, he arrived in front of the two he had told to not leave.

His clone and Emily.

The older Alex and Emily stood around on top of a mountain, surrounded by tall grass and thick trees.

"Where are we?" he asked softly.

The sky was dark, like the advent of twilight. He looked to his right and saw the sun as though about to set. Only, it wasn't setting. The sun wasn't a sun, but a tree, and they could both feel its warmth.

The giant Playground was next to it, casting a large shadow in another direction.

"What is this place?" Emily asked.

"You're in a secret realm," Whisker answered from the side, arriving next to them at some point they hadn't realized. In his palm was a medallion that Alex had given him before sending him in.

"Come on, let me take you to where you'll be staying for the foreseeable future."

They stood atop the seal on the 3rd mountain, which opened upon Whisker's command. All 3 of them were teleported into the inside of the mountain where the Timeless Palace remained.

"Stay here. I'll come back later."

Whisker flew out, leaving the place as soon as he had entered.

The married couple looked at each other, and then at the place, and knew that this would be the place they would be spending the majority of their time for the next few years.

Outside, Whisker appeared in a flash. "Done! How long was I gone?"

"About 10 minutes," Alex answered. "You'll have to go there later after we gather some food and living amenities for them."

Whisker nodded.

"Time for us to leave then."

Alex reached the sky and summoned the portal that would take them to the next realm.

"Grandpa, Grandmas, everyone! I'll miss you all."

Bai Jingshen and his wife gave Pearl big hugs. "We'll miss you too."

"I'll miss you all too," Whisker spoke quickly.

"We'll miss you too, Whisker," several voices said from all around.

Bai Jingshen said something secretly to Pearl one last time before sending him toward Alex.

After one last wave, Alex put both Whisker and Pearl into their Beast Space and then looked at everyone standing in front of him.

His eyes filled with tears, but his face was wide with a smile.

"I'll see you all again. Goodbye."

Alex floated toward the sky, dragged up by the maelstrom in the sky. And when that Maelstrom swallowed him, he was gone.

Alex had ascended to one of the many Immortal Realm.
