Chapter 2139 Information
Once Alex was done purchasing the few ingredients he wanted, he left the store to go roam the city. He made sure to leave the store while noticing what the location was like so that he could easily return here should he need to.
He saw many carriages roaming through the middle of the city, while he himself walked on the side path. The city was bustling still, but no doubt much less than how it would be during the day. Everyone walked around, focused on their own business. Alex watched how mundane the daily life felt everywhere.
No matter where he went, no matter how strong the cultivators were, life eventually became mundane for everyone.
"It's quite cold," Whisker noted.
Alex felt around. "Is it winter perhaps?" he thought. But then he looked above at the massive gap in the sky. It could very well be that as well. He couldn't confidently tell if it was winter or the Yin of the Ever-Dark realm was affecting this world like it was affecting its gravity.
He ignored the cold and then walked around the city with no destination in mind. He simply wanted to walk around aimlessly. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The hole in the sky moved, moving further and further to the right as time went on. At some point, it covered the entirety of the moon, making the sky feel truly dark.
But then, when Alex looked at the area around him, the many lanterns and torches that lit up the city did more than enough to brighten the land. He walked around the city for a few more hours, and as he did, something peculiar happened that he hadn't expected to be feeling, but it was something he should've known would happen.
Gravity shifted around him, pulling him more in one direction than the other. Because the realm above him had moved as daytime came around, it had also changed the gravity, pulling him toward it to the side.
Alex looked toward it, thinking light may begin hitting that world now that sunrise was on its way, only to realize that the direction in which the realm went was the exact opposite of where the sun came up from.
No matter the time of the day, that place would always have the Eclipsing Heaven realm between it and the sun.
As the sun began rising in the east, Alex finally returned to the Alchemy store and went back to his place.
But he had no other parameter that he knew to help with the search.
However, despite the lack of information about where they were, recently, his mind had calmed a lot more.
Because each world had Sky God's people working the teleportation formation, Senior Yang could go to them and ask them for their help. It was unsure how much they could help against the Gods, but even if nothing, they could deliver messages directly from senior Yang to those people.
So, he had little to worry about now. "Are you okay with that information?" Firestar asked. "I know you said it's alright, but it truly is just nothing. If you want, I can dig a little deeper and see if there are other worlds that may have your family or—"
"No, senior. It's fine," Alex said quickly. He could not let the fact that he was searching for people from the 3rd Major Spirit World to others who knew that was where senior Yang had disappeared to.
Anyone who knew that could come looking for him for answers, and that was just not something he could afford at a larger scale. It was fine just searching bits and pieces here and there.
"If you say so," Firestar said, not wanting to push further.
"By the way, senior. Do you happen to know who it was that came here?" he asked. "The name of the young man."
Firestar shook her head. "I learned nothing important about him, just that he is now somewhere in the northern continent. I could try and find him, but I'm not sure I can do it within the timeframe you guys are working on. It will take longer than 2 years at least."
"We can't have that," Silvermist said loudly.
"We can't have that indeed, master," Alex repeated. He bowed deeply toward Firestar. "Thank you for all the help, senior. I shall remember your grace for as long as I live."
Firestar smiled a little. "Don't worry. It was easy for me; barely an inconvenience," she said. "You can go back to doing what you were."
"No," Silvermist said from the side. "He can't rest now. We are going to the Skysummit."
Firestar raised an eyebrow. "Oh... are you trying to see how close to Ever Dark realm you can go?" she asked. "Good luck."
