Chapter 2248 Lives Left Behind

Alex was a little confused by Jai Heiyun's statement. "What do you mean by that? Did Immortals come after I was gone?"

"Yes," Jai Heiyun said. "It should have been some 20 years after you were gone. They came so suddenly and landed all around the world."

"And?" Alex asked, very much curious now. "Who came? What did they do?"

"They appeared out of nowhere and claimed that we had their treasures. They announced to the entire world and told them to hand it over," she said. "But they couldn't do anything besides that since her Majesty went to talk to them." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Oh? What happened then?"

"At the moment, we only heard some of what she said," Jai Heiyun said. "I did not understand the meaning of her words, but I remember the words exactly."

"This world is protected by the treaty between the Four Heavenly Beasts, the Humans, and the Demons. Return where you came from or you shall face the consequences of your action."

Alex was quite surprised to hear all of those words, and unlike others, he understood the meaning. The treaty between the beasts, humans, and demons had been regarding the fact that the demon's spirit realms that had been taken over by the humans were looked after by the beasts so that the demons weren't further exploited.

It also stopped any other humans from coming and exploiting the land itself for its resources or for demons to come and start a revolution against the humans there.

However, with how much time had passed, everyone already had mixed blood and no longer had as much potential.

"What then?" Alex asked. "Did they leave?"

"No, they stayed behind, but the White Tiger arrived a few minutes later and said some things to the Immortals and took them away," Jai Heiyun said.

"They're doing alright. Everything was about the same as when you left. People are still traveling all around the world thanks to the fixed teleportation formations and enough people have made their way all around. There is a new wave of talented cultivators everywhere thanks to people from the Central continent having quite a bit of talent, so sects and families are constantly on the lookout for them."

"The Central continent... I would say has changed for the worse. They have lost what made them unique and have begun integrating outside influence in there, so it should all look more or less the same."

Alex nodded. "Have you any news about my master, my senior sister, Wang Lin, and the rest," he asked.

"Her Majesty takes care of your master and sisters, so they are doing fine. I don't get to meet them much, if at all. But I do get to meet with the others. Your Martial Uncle, was it? He had decided to retire from making pills for the Royal guild and wanted to go teach some disciples instead."

"Brother Wang Lin and sister Fan Ruogang left the capital to raise their son elsewhere in the continent. And... oh right, that young girl, Kong Yumin has become an excellent alchemist by now thanks to your mother's lessons. Her cultivation speed is a little slow as she doesn't have the talent for it, but her understanding of alchemy is excellent."

"Wow!" Alex said, feeling surreal about the entire thing. Kong Yuhan was one of the first people Alex became friends with when he joined the Hong Wu sect. Now, their daughter had become a prominent alchemist in the Southern Continent.

Even Wang Lin and Fan Ruogang had a son by now, so they were doing fine as well, it seemed.

He wished he learned more about his master and senior sister too, as well as young Emily who they had left behind to train for themselves, but that would have to wait until Alex found a way to either go back to the lower realm or meet Scarlet once again.

"How is the emperor of the Eastern Continent doing?" Alex asked next. "I'm not too sure. He wasn't a topic of much conversation in the time I was there, so I cannot say for certain," Jai Heiyun said.

"That means the young man is doing quite well," Alex said with a smile. "I suppose," Jai Heiyun said.

They talked for a while beyond that, with Jai Heiyun asking Alex how he had passed his years. Alex told her what he could, leaving anything else that she didn't need to.

Before he knew it, he needed to go back to the courtyard.

"Oh right, my courtyard has quite a bit of space, so you can come stay there if you want to," Alex said. "Chances are, we're going to leave early tomorrow morning anyway."
