Chapter 2070 Evil The thought of having 8 Creation Swords was enough to stop Alex from worrying about what his Creations were going to be. Even if they were just regular Swords, with 8 of them, he could do things that should otherwise be considered impossible. Alex finished going through the Inheritance, learning everything that was within it. It was mostly just the technique and a brief history of where the technique came from. As far as Reverend Sixghost was aware, the Saber God had found it in a tomb within his home world in the Eternal Isles realm. The reason why he had been the one sharing this Inheritance instead of the Saber God himself was that the Saber God and many of the people who followed him had met an unfortunate end at the hand of one god-hating sword. Alex was beginning to suspect that the mortal wound Reverend Sixghost had suffered that ultimately killed him was none other than Godslayer as well. If nothing, the timeline fitted. Alex supposed he would never find out the real truth. Alex ignored the Origin technique for now and focused on his regular cultivation. For Origin, he still had years to go before it would be any relevance at all. Alex's main focus at the moment was on his cultivation, but his second main focus was on Demon Eyes. His recent cultivation of the eyes had shown significant improvement and it wouldn't be long before he would enter the 3rd Stage. It had been such a long time since he entered the 2nd Stage that he had nearly forgotten there were more stages to the technique at all. Although, what he felt like a long time was not even 150 years. For cultivators, this was nothing. Alex cultivated for the next 5 days, leaving only once to talk with Elder Sunheart so he could ask a few questions. He had gathered up a few questions during his time in the cave and now was looking for those answers. His first couple of questions were simple but important ones, mostly regarding the Origin realm and how early he needed to make preparations for it. The answer turned out was that he needed to not make any preparations at all. Making preparations was of course a good idea, but that wasn't the only correct approach for that realm. In fact, you could go the entire realm without adding aura to it. It would add more work in the Immortal Transcendent realm, but it was still a viable option. Alex kept that in mind. It seemed he needn't be in a hurry at all. "Is that all you wanted to ask?" Sunheart asked. "No, there was something else," Alex said. "I'm not sure if you can answer it or not though. It's regarding one of the sect masters of the Twin Saber sect." "I… don't have much interaction with cultivators from the outside, so I'm not sure if I'm the right person to ask this question," she said. "Still, go on. Let me know what you want to ask." Alex nodded. "Inside the sect's secret realm, there was a gravestone belonging to one of the sect masters of that sect that had passed away. And the reason for death on it was put simply as 'died during an assault against evil'. I was wondering what that meant." "Against evil?" Sunheart asked. "Then… that must be during the war against the coalition of demonic sects nearly 40 thousand years ago now. Many people died at that time. He must've been one of them as well." Alex got slightly curious at those words. "A coalition of demonic sects?" he asked. "How many existed for there to be a coalition big enough to make war?" "Many," the woman said. "We never know which sect could be a demonic sect at all. They all hid themselves so well that we couldn't tell. Then one day, they suddenly rose up and attacked." "And?" Alex asked, now fully curious. "And you know the result. We are here, so they lost," she said. "Many died in the process though, so that was tragic." "I see. I was wondering what this evil was. I'm surprised there isn't more information about this event. I would assume something like this would be remembered more." "The general public likes to leave behind dark pasts in the past. But our sect hasn't forgotten it just yet. We sent out disciples to every single sect we had doubts about. They go and they find evidence as to whether the sect is a demonic sect or not." "Once we find the proof, we eradicate them," she said. 'Oh! So that's why Lan Douhan was there,' Alex thought. "Is that all then?" she asked. "Yes, that is all," Alex said and left the place. The thought about the 'evil' and the rising of the demonic sects lasted only so long in his mind before he lost himself in his cultivation. On the 6th day of being here, Alex finally received a summon from the sect master. He arrived at the sect master's mountain an hour later and quickly made his way back to the familiar building he had come to over a decade ago now. Alex was shown the way by a random elder to the room where he was surprised to find more than just the sect master. He noticed the Seer Elder, Frosteyes first and foremost. Close to her was the Beast Elder, Twotails. Daoist Crimsonsky and Daoist Springrot were there as well. Four elders and one sect master. He couldn't imagine what they were there for. He quickly greeted them, showing them all the respect they deserved. "Young man, come and sit," the sect master said, showing Alex the open space before them. He sat down and watched them expectantly. The sect master took out something and handed it over to Alex. "Before we begin, this is what Elder Shang managed to get for you from the Twin Saber sect." Alex grabbed the storage bag and peered inside to find nearly 600 thousand Immortal Spirit stones. That was a large lump sum of spirit stones to receive all at once. This was more than what he had made in total during the past 15 years of being an Alchemist. Although, that was mostly because he didn't make his pills that costly. "I don't see Elder Shang here. Please thank her on my behalf if you see her," Alex said. Thunderspine nodded. "That was what you got from the Twin Saber sect. But, because of what you did in restoring something that belonged to brother Bao, during the past week, we have decided to gift you something else as well." Alex looked up in surprise. "I don't need any gift, sect master," he said. "You will take our gift," the man said. "We can give you one of two things. Either a single ticket to another realm or a chance to choose anything you can from the sect treasury. Make your choice." Alex felt dumbfounded at the opportunity he was given. He could choose one of those tickets, or he could choose a treasure from the sect's treasury. "Do you need time to make your choice?" the sect master asked. Alex thought for a bit and shook his head. "I've made my choice."
