Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy-Novel

Chapter 1548 Fairy

Alex entered his Spiritual sea the moment he sensed something else doing the same. He could feel the pressure building up inside his Spiritual sea and was worried about what was to come. 

The moment he entered, he searched for the thing in the gloomy domain of his mind. Staring at the silver mountain, he found a spirit hovering there. 

It was the spirit of a woman with long flowing purple hair, wearing a white robe that seemed transparent in most places. She turned her face to look at something that floated toward Alex, her eyes narrowing as she looked at it.

Godslayer arrived next to Alex, and her vision landed on Alex who was next to him. And Alex saw her. 

She looked at him for a few seconds, during which Alex's mind went through many different thoughts, one of which scared him to his core.

The woman didn't just have purple hair. She also had deep green eyes, and two pointed horns coming out out from her forehead.

Alex searched for any signs that would tell him that she was a beast, but he could find none. He couldn't doubt himself this time around anymore. 

She was most definitely a demon.

Next, he tried to see if she was a soul or just a spirit, but it was hard to tell. He wasn't knowledgeable on this topic, and it didn't feel right to ask Godslayer while she was there in front of him.

The woman's face turned to a smile after those few seconds. "I have never seen a space stone inside someone's spiritual sea," she spoke. Her very first sentence reverberated through his mind, causing the sea below to undulate and splash around.

"And is that a soul or a spirit that has such a large amount of Shadow around it that I can't even tell," the woman said. Godslayer's shadow aura that he kept to himself didn't let her see anything else.

"And you…" she looked at Alex once again. "I can tell that you are the owner of this body, of this world. And I must say… I like your eyes."

Alex was taken aback at those words but he quickly understood what she meant.

"Where did you get them?" she asked.

"Through an inheritance," Alex said. "Left behind by someone who died a long time ago."

The woman nodded. "I should be working, but you are too fascinating to not learn a bit more from before I am gone," she said.

Alex was surprised that despite the pressure he felt, there was no animosity in this woman's presence. No desire to harm him at all.  So, he wondered what she was doing here and what she would want from him.

Because one thing was for certain now.

This was definitely the spirit of someone in the divine realm.

"My name is Alex. May I ask who the senior is?" Alex asked.

"You don't need to know," she said. "We will likely never meet again." 

"You are in my Spiritual sea, senior. I request that you introduce yourself after having barged into my world," he said.

The woman stared at him for a few seconds which felt like eternity for Alex. With each passing moment, he could feel the pressure pushing him more and more.

But he had learned to handle such pressure from Senior Yang after he entered his Soul Space nearly a hundred times in the time he had been there. He could handle her for an hour longer if this was all he would have to bear with.

The woman suddenly smiled and chuckled a bit. Her laughter echoed through the world, the same laughter she made when she slipped in here.

"You are straightforward," she said. "I like that. You can call me Fairy Xin. I will not give anything more than that."

Alex nodded. "Greetings, fairy Xin. May I ask why you are in my spiritual sea?" he asked.

"If I am in your spiritual sea, it is because you asked about someone that you should not have asked about," the woman said.

'Shumi?' Alex thought to himself.

"Do not worry," the woman said. "I will simply wipe away the part of your memory that has to do with the girl we took away. Everything else will remain intact. You will have felt a minimal amount of damage to your spirit as well."

"Can I ask not to have my memory wiped?" Alex asked. "I would rather not lose anything if that is possible."

"I'm afraid that it's not," she said. "I will have to erase not just your memory, but also the memory of that… thing next to you."

"My name is Godslayer, Bitch!" Godslayer suddenly shouted. "I'm no thing."

"Rude!" the woman's face fell.

"Godslayer!" Alex shouted at him.

Godslayer remained silent for a moment before saying, "Shit! Sorry."

"I suppose I will have to start with the little ball of shadow," the woman glided toward the two of them. Alex moved in front of Godslayer, protecting him. He looked at the woman and quickly spoke.

"Fairy Xin, please calm down," he said. "He didn't mean any harm by those words. He's not used to being good around people."

"Doesn't matter to me. Stand down and let me erase your memory. I don't have much time," she said.

"Please, Fairy Xin," Alex said, thinking of ways to stop her. "May I ask why you came here to this world? This world belongs to the humans after the war, and there is an Azure Dragon here to protect this continent."

"Why should I care about a useless serpent from the beast house," she said. "If he was any good, he would have never been sent to this world." She continued moving toward him.

"Why did you come then? Was it just to take away little Shumi?" he asked. "How did you know she was here? How did you find out?"

The woman said nothing.

"Was it because she has the Moon Goddess's body?"

The woman finally paused and looked at Alex with wide eyes. "How… do you know that?" she asked.

Alex sighed in relief. "I didn't know," he said. "But I had my guess."

"Have you told anyone else?" the woman asked seriously this time around.

"Yes," Alex said. "A couple of people."

"I see," the woman said, her hand to her chin in a thoughtful expression. "If that is the case then I can't let you live."ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net

"What?" Alex asked.

"I must kill you," she said. "I'm sorry. This is too monumental of information to leave at the hand of a mere Saint." Her aura exploded and the pressure Alex felt early on tripled. 

He felt as if his world would break at any moment and all would be lost.

"I'm sorry," she still spoke, her voice thunderous now. "I must kill you, and I must find the ones you gave away this information to. Only then can we be safe."

"Only then can our future survive."

Alex grunted in pain, but it was too much. He had never had such a strong person actively try to kill him.

"Alex!" Godslayer's voice flooded his ear. "Fight!" 

Alex nodded. There was too much risk to his survival for him to not fight.

The water beneath him floated next to him in the shape of a fist, and Heaven's Impact became the beginning of the spiritual war.
