Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 2133  Day and Night

Space Stones were naturally silver in color, and completely weightless. They were also invisible to one's spiritual sense as a person's spiritual sense registered it as regular space instead of a natural object.

Space stones were very difficult to find. Most Space stones that were around were tiny ones, no larger than the a grain of rice. Even at that size, they held a lot of stone.

Alex didn't know how, but he knew that people could turn those Space stones into usable artifacts like rings or necklace, which could then hold a lot of items within it.

While a Space Stone did hold a lot of natural space within it, it couldn't be used before it was refined into an artifact. Afterward, however, depending on the quality of the refinement process, only part of it could be used.

Most artifacts, as per senior Yang's words, could only use between 10 to 20 percent of the total space in a space stone. The color of such space stones barely turned deeper than a shade of blue. Purple held more space and Red held even more than that. Finally, black Space stone artifacts had the most usable amount of space within it. The one Alex had found had been a red Space stone, made even possibly by the Sky God herself.

Alex looked at the Space Stone with a bit of an awe to his face. He wasn't the only one. There were many people that noticed it as it was placed openly in the protection of the many men in blue armor.

'Are they not afraid someone will steal it,' Alex thought before looking at the soldiers. Yeah, there was little chance of that happening with so many of them there.

Not that getting a space stone alone would help anyone in the first place. They needed to be able to use it as well, which Alex wasn't sure just about anyone could.

He pulled his eyes away from the space stone a few moments later and walked over to the center of the 300 meter wide circular platform. Once he was at the center, he took a deep breath and waited.

"You came from a lower realm right?" Silvermist asked. "Then this won't be your first experience. It will be similar to how you arrived at this world."

Alex began feeling the air distort with a very strong teleportation aura around him. He looked toward his master, slightly confused. "The teleportation won't be simple? Are we—"

His words hung in his lips when the sky began tearing itself. It ripped apart, streaming into a thousand different colors.

Alex's eyes flashed purple for a moment and he was nearly blinded by the amount of silvery-white light in the sky. There was so much of Space being altered right on top of him that it was ridiculous.

Silvermist was correct. It was the exact same situation as when he broke through the Immortal realm as well.

The sky broke into a vortex of massive aura and it descended from the sky toward the people within the teleportation formation. The maelstrom dragged everyone directly into it, and when it swallowed them completely, they were gone.

Alex felt his world twist for a moment, feeling himself being thrown into nothingness. And then, he landed on a solid surface in a formation platform.

They had arrived at another realm.

Alex took in a deep breath of this new realm, the world known as Eclipsing Heaven and felt the Qi here a hint thicker than what was in the Myriad Spirit realm.

He stopped for a brief period to look around the place, taking in the moment. This had been his first Interrealm Teleportation travel. At least, one that wasn't made by the Heaven for him.

There were a group of people around the formation platform, looking through them. The grassland that surrounded them had forests far away. Alex could see the hints of a city far away, the glow of it visible from here.

That was all fine and all, but there was one big thing that he couldn't wrap his heard around.

Why the hell was it dark?

For some reason, it was nighttime.

"Master, why is it night right now?" he asked. "Did we lose time somehow during the teleportation?"

He had sensed no Time aura during the teleportation. But then, the maelstrom was so strong and so filled with everything that it was possible for him to have completely missed it too.

"What do you mean?" Silvermist asked, a look of confusion on his face as well. "Why would we lose time?"

"Because its night?" Alex asked, not sure why his master wasn't so concerned. Was losing time a regular side effect of teleportation between realms?

Silvermist still didn't fully understand what Alex was confused about, but Grimsight seemed to have seen the issue.

"Young man, did you think all the worlds share the same day and night cycle?" he asked. "They are all independent of each other. They spin differently from each other. Where one could be daytime in one, it could be nighttime in another. It could be morning in another place."

"Oh…" Alex hadn't even realized that such a thing was even possible. To him, day and night as a concept was the same no matter where he went.

From one continent to another, no mater how much he traveled within the same realm, the sun never changed positions in the sky. So, day and night as a concept was something that was the same no matter what.

The concept was so ingrained into him that he even believed it would transpire throughout the other realms as well. He was finally learning that it didn't.

"I see," Alex said. "Thank you for the explanation, senior. I seriously thought I lost some time or something."

"Was the time between your lower realm and the Myriad Spirit realm the same when you first came?" he asked.

Alex nodded. "It was daytime in both places. I never realized it was supposed to be different."

Grimsight nodded. "You encountered a coincidence and understood it as fact. Its no big deal. Just learn more and expand your horizon. Wait until you learn about the fact that time itself moves at a different rate within the many realms."

"Huh?" Alex asked. "I'm sorry what?"

Grimsight chuckled. "Something for you to learn about later. For now, let's leave."

Grimsight walked off, and Snowleaf followed. Silvermist walked next and Alex walked after them as he walked, he felt a little weird. There was a lightness to his steps that he couldn't explain exactly.

For some reason. He had less weight on him at the moment than it did back in the Myriad Spirit realm.

'Less gravity,' Alex thought, immediately recognizing the issue.

"Master, why is the gravity of this place so low?" he asked. "I feel nearly 10% lighter than usual."

Silvermist didn't answer directly. Instead, he only raised a single finger up, pointing toward the sky.

Alex followed the direction and looked up. In the night sky, he saw glittering stars, a half moon, and to his horrifying surprise, a massive hole of pure darkness.

There was an abyss in the sky, and Alex had no idea why.
