Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Alex, Momo, Whisker, and Pearl made their way to the only place they felt safe having Whisker's breakthrough.

The Hand of the God.

Rosemist was surprised to see so many of them there but was quickly accepting of it all when she was told that they needed a place for Whisker to break through.

"Oh, the little mouse," Rosemist said. "He's finally ready to become an Immortal is he?" "Yes," Alex said. "Will it be alright if we used some remote location within the mountain?"

"Of course," Rosemist said. "Use them as you want. I'm quite curious to see the end result myself. Never heard of a Seeking Mouse cultivating in the first place, let alone breaking through to Immortality."

Alex smiled as he somewhat understood the insanity of what was happening as well. Few beasts in the heavens such as the Pill Swines, Heavenly Silkworms, and Seeking Mouse weren't supposed to have a cultivation base considering what advantages they received from the heavens. There were times when Alex was curious how the 8th Undying God did anything at all to make this happen. He had defied the heaven and yet left no records of how he did it.

"What Dao have you learned, little mouse?" Rosemist asked, reaching out with her hand. As if in a trance, Whisker got onto her hand and ran up to her shoulders, where he began answering her question.

Whisker had learned 2 Dao. The True Fire Dao and the Dao of Plant Growth. There were many more Dao Alex wished he had learned, but Whisker simply wasn't as talented as everyone else, so he couldn't learn any more despite the immense amount of time he had to learn all of the Dao.

The fact that he had managed to learn True Fire Dao itself was quite an incredible feat. They arrived above the mist which they decided was a good place for Whisker to break through.

"Remember," Alex told Whisker before he left. "There is nothing you have to worry about. Everything is alright. Just freely cultivate. Nothing will happen to you so long as I am here."

Whisker nodded. "I know, brother. I can rely on you."

Alex had made similar talk the past few days, letting Whisker know at a subconscious level that he need not stress about anything. That was the best way he could think of to allow Whisker to have an easy time with the Inner Demon considering he hadn't been through one at all. This was his first time so he needed to be ready.

Whisker moved to the snow further away where he could be alone. He stood on top of a protruding black rock, looking up at the open midday sky with the sun directly above him.

He was ready.

Whisker sat down and closed his eyes, preparing for the Inner Demon to attack him. Its assault was something he had heard so many times but never faced. He had no doubt he would fight through whatever was coming.

Everyone watched Whisker with keen eyes, waiting. After nearly 10 minutes, Whisker opened his eyes and turned toward them.

"So quick?" Pearl said, surprised. "I thought it would have taken longer."

"That was suspiciously quick, wasn't it?" Alex asked.

"Brother!" Whisker shouted toward him.

"What is it? Are you done?" Alex asked.

"No, it's not starting," Whisker said. "How do I start it?"

"Just do it. Cultivate and—" he stopped mid-sentence as he suddenly realized the mistake they had made. "I'm an idiot," Alex said softly.

"Why? What's wrong?" Rosemist asked.

Alex sat down in the snow. "Whisker can't cultivate on his own," he said. "He can only cultivate throughout our bond when I do it."

"Right…" Pearl said, only now realizing as well.

"Only through your bond?" Rosemist asked. "How fascinating. I do not know what to make of this. I cannot learn any of such information at all."

"It happened previously too," Alex said. "There was a time when Pearl's cultivation would help improve my body cultivation. That was a time when I had the White Tiger's blood within me. But after I gave it back to Pearl, that bond between us stopped." ꞦäɴÓＢƐṣ

"However, the bond between Whisker and I cannot be taken away so easily," Alex said. "It is here to stay. So I will have to cultivate for Whisker's half too."

"Interesting," Rosemist said. "I won't stop you any longer then. You should start."

Alex nodded and looked toward Whisker. "Whisker, get ready. I'll start cultivating for you. It should do the job."

"Okay!" Whisker waited for Alex to start.

Alex began using the Undying God Physique technique to cultivate his physique, which triggered Whisker's own cultivation. He closed his eyes, getting ready.

Rosemist looked at Alex at that moment with a peculiar eye. What she saw was something she surprisingly already knew about thanks to being a Child of Heaven. "The goddess' gift," she said softly.

Alex heard her words, a flash of the woman's face who had helped the first Undying God passing through his mind for a fleeting moment before he focused back on what he was doing. Helping Whisker.

As Whisker's cultivation began, it was clear that they could continue now without any worry. And yet, something else happened almost instantly.

The midday sky with the bright sun high up in the zenith was cast out as dark roiling clouds came out of nowhere, blotting out the light. "Huh?" Alex thought, looking up to see the clouds. Without a doubt, it was the tribulation clouds that had come. But how had they come so quickly?

"Brother? What's going on?" Whisker asked.

"You didn't go through Inner Demon yet, did you?" Alex asked.

"No," Whisker said.

"I see. I think it skipped you for some reason. You are going directly facing the tribulation lightning," Alex said. "Get ready to fight it."

Whisker didn't like fighting, but he was ready to fight the tribulation lightning as it was a necessity. The lightning in the sky crackled, getting ready to come down. And as they all watched, Alex got a very weird feeling.

"Pearl, take Momo and leave right now," Alex said. "I think the lightning is trying to come for me."
