Chapter 2314 Curiosity
Chapter 2314 Curiosity
Considering what he had managed to accomplish back in the tournament, he needed to improve his intent surrounding the Time auras even more so he could use it a lot more effectively.
Slowing down time was just one aspect of it as well. He needed to be able to speed up time as well, and maybe even stop it. He needed to learn the other aspects of time as well and put them to work in his Alchemy.
He cultivated next to the Voidgate for an extended period of time. The last time he was here, he had only cultivated for a day or two before going back. But now, he stayed more than a week and spent every second of it learning as much as he could.
The only reason he even went back was to check on the others. If possible, he would\'ve wanted to bring them all to this mountain to live for the time being, but considering how they didn\'t feel right around Rosemist, they had to be left elsewhere.
Pearl was there though, so he didn\'t even have to worry much about it. The truth was, in worst-case scenarios, Pearl was the better option than him when it came to defending everyone.
Not only did Pearl have a greater cultivation base than him when he used the mark on his forehead or his blood essence. Not to mention the fact that Bai Jingshen\'s protection still covered him.
They would be fine.
Alex continued training on his own without any worry, learning as much as he could in the 2 months he still had.
He could notice his own improvement during this period. Not only was he getting better at understanding the Dao, but he was also getting better at recognizing the aura.
He had now managed to recognize one of the aura that he hadn\'t been able to do so beforehand.
The Dao of Temporal Reversal. The ability to turn back time.
Recognition was all Alex could do for now though as the dao seemed an incredibly tough nut to crack. Before it, the Dao of Temporal Swiftness and the Dao of Temporal Stagnation felt as easy as making common pills.
Of course, Time auras weren\'t the only thing there. It was just what Alex was focusing on. Due to his closeness with Space auras, it was those that he recognized more than Time.
Dao of Spatial Expansion and Dao of Spatial Contraction were the two that he wanted to learn when he could. The ability to expand and shrink space as he wished was a powerful ability to add to his arsenal.
Dao of Spatial Distortion and the Dao of Spatial Release on the other hand was something he couldn\'t quite understand just yet. Perhaps if he focused a little more on them, he would understand a bit more, but considering his need to learn the Time Aura, he couldn\'t learn them just yet.
There were a few more aura in there that Alex didn\'t quite easily recognize. It had actually taken him forever to even realize they were there in the first place. Almost as though he wasn\'t supposed to be able to sense them until he had spent a lot of time there.
He wondered if what he sensed was unique to the Voidgates and if as such, was it the Dao of Voidgates? He could only wonder as not even Rosemist could answer anything regarding that.
"Voidgates, and subsequently the Void inside of it, are a mystery even to us. Because Heaven does not exist inside of the Void, we Child of Heavens had no knowledge of what lies inside aside from the common knowledge that everyone knows."
Alex had thought that response odd as he imagined someone who had lived so long to know a bit more about the workings of the Void, but it seemed even Rosemist wasn\'t as aware as he thought she was.
On the other hand, there was the fact that Heaven did not exist within the Void. He was surprised to hear that at first, but after a bit of careful consideration, it made perfect sense.
Heaven did not exist in outer space. Heaven did not exist in his Soul Space. Why should it exist within the Void then? \'But if the heaven does not exist, how does Dao exist?\' Alex wondered.
Qi couldn\'t enter the Voidgate unless forced through from the outside. That was something Alex had noticed for a long time when he used the Voidgate on the southern island of the Southern Continent when he needed to go to the Eastern Continent.
So it was understandable if Daos did not exist either. But they did exist where Qi couldn\'t reach. Why was that?
Was Dao not related to Qi perhaps? Or was Qi a part of the Dao, but not the whole part?
\'Heaven and Qi are linked. Qi and Dao are linked. Dao and Heaven are linked. And yet, none of them are reliant on one another to exist. So what is the connection there?\'
Alex was quite curious to think about it all. Alas, it was a question too big for his small mind. He only had to focus on simple things like the Dao of Time for now.
2 months passed by in a flash. Alex didn\'t even realize how fast time had passed as he was focused on learning the Time Dao every month.
The 2 months felt fruitful, and yet, they also felt fruitless. Alex had made great discoveries within the Time and Space dao these past few weeks, and yet not a single one of them had brought him any closer to understanding the truth behind them.
He could only hope to be able to do so at a later date when he could find the time to come back here once again.
For now, it was time to head toward Memory of God— the Fourth Alchemy God\'s inheritance site.
