Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 2134  Eclipsing Heaven

"Stunning, isn\'t it?" Silvermist asked. "You won\'t find a sight like this anywhere else in this world."

"What… what am I looking at, master?" Alex asked.

There was one possibility already within his mind. The sky being covered like this was something he had come across before, back when he was in the Southern Continent. At that time, it had been a Primordial, something that used to live hundreds of thousands of years ago, of which only corpses remained at its current age. Was the thing floating in the sky the same thing?

He didn\'t believe it was that because the thing in the sky remained unmoving. The darkness did not go anywhere. The primordial he had seen had disappeared as quickly as it had arrived.

"Where are we?" Silvemrist asked, in response to Alex\'s question.

Alex gave a confused look and looked around the place. Where was he? There was no sign or plaque to tell them the location.

"I don\'t know," Alex said. "Am I supposed to know this place\'s name?"

"No, no. What world are we in?" Silvermist asked, clarifying the question.

"Oh! The Eclipsing Heaven realm," Alex answered. "What about it?" "Do you know what an eclipse is?" Silvermist asked.

Alex shrugged. "Of course. I\'ve seen it happen a few times already. It\'s when the sun is covered by the moon, is it not?" "Not just the moon, anything," Silvermist said.

Alex thought for a bit. "Are you saying that thing up there is casting its shadow on us?" he asked. That… didn\'t sound right at all to him, but that seemed to be what his master was trying to say.

"Not that. Eclipse isn\'t always the shadow falling on us, is it? It\'s when our shadow falls on something else as well," Silvermist said. "There is a reason why this world is called the Eclipsing Heaven and not the Eclipsed Heaven. It is the one that casts the shadow."

"I see." Alex understood fairly what he was being told. He looked up at the darkness and understood that it was something he could not see because it was in the shadow of this current world.

But then, the main question arose. What was in the shadow? What could be so large that it could affect the gravity of this world by such a degree?

Silvermist gave him the answer right away. And it was something Alex had not excepted at all.

"That right there is another Realm," he said.

It took Alex a moment to take in the information and react. "Wh-what? A realm? Another realm?" he asked. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Silvermist nodded.

Alex stared up in disbelief. The thing that he was looking at or rather could not see was actually a different realm. To be so large in the sky, how close to this current realm did it have to be?

"It\'s… not a world with people, is it?" Alex asked. "This has to be one of those worlds that isn\'t habitable, right?"

There were 33 Immortal realms, more than 120 Spirit realms, and more than 50 Mortal realms. Aside from them, there were many pieces of land with no habitable atmosphere that were left all alone due to not just their lack of air, but also their lack of Qi.

If the world he was looking at was in the shadow for so long, he did not believe life could thrive there at all. After all, for life to thrive, it needed sunlight. "Oh yeah, it\'s definitely not inhabitable," Silvermist said. "No one lives there at all."

"I thoughts so," Alex said.

"Well, there may be people there right now though," he said. "If for nothing, then to train."

"Huh?" Alex turned to look at his master. "What do you mean, master? Why would people go there if it\'s not inhabitable? Is it like when people go to the moon in the Myriad Spirit realm to train?" "No, this is completely different," Silvermist said. "Even Immortals, if they want to, could go to that moon and come back. Unlike there, getting to this place is impossible for the Immortals. It is near impossible even for many of the Divine realm cultivators. They can get close, but are forced to leave unless they want to die."

"Die?" Alex asked. What the hell was going on? What was this world?

"When you ascended, there should have been someone appointed to explain to you about the Immortals worlds," Grimsight said from the side. "Did that person ever mention the 3 Immortal Realms that no one wants to claim as theirs?"

Alex thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes, I was taught about them," he said, thinking about the 3 names.

The Immortal Prison realm, the world called the realm within Realms, and finally another one that was called the…

"Behond," Grimsight said, "the Ever Dark Realm."

Alex looked back up, a new sense of awe flowing through him. The Ever Dark realm, a world that was so frigid that no life was sustainable.

The dark abyss in the sky turned out to be another Immortal Realm.

Silvermist and Grimsight explained to Alex about the Ever Dark realm and its presence within the night sky of the Eclipsing Heaven realm.

No one knew why it was there, just that it had always been there. Not only was it always there, but it did not move from its spot and eternally remained within the shadow of the Eclipsing Heaven realm, which what why it was called the Ever Dark realm.

Not only that, but because it never saw sunlight, the realm had long since developed such an intense Yin aura that no one could truly make it to that world easily.

Even when they did, they could not stay for long as the Yin there was poisonous to their body.

There were Spirit Veins in that world too, so there was a thick layer of Qi surrounding that world. Despite that, however, no one took those away.

"They tried before," Grimsight mentioned. "I don\'t recall who it was exactly. The information surrounding them was vague, but a few gods had come together to take a few of those away. They planted it in their land, but the Spirit vein was so affected by Yin that it began ruining their land instead."

"They had to destroy it apparently, before it could ruin it further, but even after destroying it, it was too dangerous. I do not know what happened to it after that."

Alex was quite stunned to hear that.

"Master, you said people might be there. They train in that frigid environment?" Alex asked.

"No, going to that frigid environment itself is training," Silvermist said. "People show off how close they can get to that realm."

He turned to look at Alex. "Do you perhaps want to try?"
