Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy-Chapter 1297 A Vessel

"Destroy the Divine spirit, huh?" Alex asked. "I think it's better to call Brother Shen here. We might need him in case something goes wrong."

"No, no need to call anyone," Godslayer said. "You can do it yourself."

"But it's a Divine spirit. Isn't it better to be careful when we're trying to mess with it?" Alex asked. "Besides, I doubt I can get rid of it on my own. Even weak, it must be much stronger than me."

"No, it's not strong," Godslayer said. "Rather, the spirit should be so weak that you can get rid of it without even trying."

"No way!" Alex said. "We can't be that lucky right?"

"We're not," Godslayer said. "The real problem comes after we erase the spirit. Because a Divine creation disappears after its creator dies, we will have a massive amount of concentrated death aura on our hands without a vessel."

"More likely than not, it will immediately spread throughout the ravine and even further away to the point it will cause a major catastrophe," Godslayer said.

"So… we need a vessel for the moment when the spirit and the creation disappear, right?" Alex asked.

"Yes," Godslayer said. "Do you have any idea what we can use?"

"I have a few swords made from Starforged Tungsten. Will that work?" Alex asked. "They're nowhere near as good as Midnight though."

"A sword, huh?" Godslayer thought for a moment. "It could work— no, it won't work. We need something else."

"Huh? Is the Starforged Tungsten, not a good enough material?" Alex asked.

"No, it's a good material, but the sword simply won't be good enough to hold all the death aura left behind here. We will need something that is either stronger or larger. What else do you have?" Godslayer asked.

"I have some ores, but I was planning to make some swords with it. Should I smelt it?" Alex asked. There was Memory that was most likely large enough, but he didn't want to use it if possible.

"You have so many things from the immortal lands, right? Bring something out," Godslayer said.

"Even if you say that…" Alex hesitated a little. What could he bring out exactly? Most of what he got from the Immortal lands were knowledge or skills. There were barely any items that could be used.

His first thought was the sword that Godslayer had been in, but that sword was still somewhere inside his soul space, so that wouldn't work. His second thought was to use the Stone sword that contained the Spiritual Providence technique.

The stone sword was large and was made up of a material that was chosen by the Weapons god. It was certainly not something so simple.

However, Alex didn't want to use it. He had already made a plan to return it to Senior Yang since he had no more use for it, and the senior could use it when he returned to the Sky God's palace in the future.

Any little thing that could help him be forgiven would help Ronron just that much more in becoming the next Sky God.

But then again, was there something else he could use?

'Urgh, I left the puppet behind with Ronron,' Alex thought. 'Maybe that could've been used.'

In the end, there was nothing he could use at all. He owned nothing that could—

"Wait a second," he thought to himself. "Could it work?"

He quickly brought out something, which floated in front of his eyes, through which Godslayer saw the item as well.

"Oh, that's perfect," Godslayer said.

What floated in front of them was the Blood God's Manual. As an artifact created by the gods, it was certainly made with one of the best materials.

Also, with how large his Soul space was, the chances of the artifact with death aura contaminating the other things in his soul space was virtually non-existent.

He could also easily pull out the artifact in case it caused trouble inside his soul space.

"Hmm… I hope it won't ruin the artifact though," Alex said.

"It won't. The artifact isn't a living thing that can be affected by death aura. If it does end up causing problems, we can change it later on," Godslayer said. He seemed overly excited to get started with the things since the death aura in there would feed him and help him grow back to his original strength for a long time.

Alex took a moment to come to terms with using the book artifact. The book itself was only used as a storage artifact for his blood beasts. It also conveniently fixed any weaker beasts just by him pouring some blood of his into it.

He wasn't worried about the blood beasts, however. What he was worried he would ruin were the 3 pages that he still had to unlock. Because he didn't know what they did, there was a chance.

In the end, however, he had nothing else he could use to contain all of the death aurae, so he could only agree.

"Fine, let's start," he said. "What do I do first?"

"Bring the idol out of the wall for now," Godslayer said.

Alex nodded and walked back into the crevice before appearing in front of the idol. He floated in the air next to it and reached for it with his hand.

The idol seemed to react to his arm, hiding what little death aura it was producing. Alex grabbed onto the idol and pulled it out.

Surprisingly, the idol had quite a weight. At the very least, it was as heavy as Midnight was.

'Is it true weight? Or is it just how it's reacting to me?' he wondered.

"Alright, the next two steps are crucial and you can't mess them up," Godslayer said. "Send your spiritual sense into Creation and destroy the spirit that is inside. As soon as that happens, constrain the aura to that region and place it into the Manual."

"You must make sure it happens at once or we could lose some of the death aurae," Godslayer said.

"Don't worry, I think I know what to do," Alex said.

At once, he used his Dao of Space to separate the space surrounding the Idol and him. With that separation, he used his spiritual sense on the Idol itself.

He didn't know what he was to expect, but when his senses entered the Creation, he realized just how much death aura was inside of it.

If it were something physical, the pressure buildup would have caused it to explode by now.

'Find the spirit,' he thought and went through the death aura to search for what the spirit could be.

At the center of the dark death aura, there was a small crystal-like fragment that seemed to be on the verge of disappearing.

'Is that the spirit?' Alex wondered. He poked it with his spiritual sense and found the fragment moving away as if to protect itself.

'This is it,' Alex thought and used the full force of his spiritual sense. The tiny fragment of crystal suddenly broke into a million pieces with no difficulty at all.

At the same time, the idol he was holding vanished into thin air as if it never existed.

The very next moment, a battle started between Alex and the death aura that was released all of a sudden.

The Blood God's Manual appeared in the center of it all as Alex started forcing the death aura into the book.

Using two Daos at once was hard. Using two Daos that had nothing to do with each other at once were many times harder.

While Alex used his Dao of Space to separate the space around him, he also had to use his Dao of Death to control the aura in front of him.

The Blood God's Manual started shaking all of a sudden. Alex could feel something inside the manual rejecting this onslaught of Death aura that he was trying to push into it.

'Shit! I forgot about the spirit inside the book itself,' Alex thought. Now, he had to split his attention to calm down the spirit as well.

He tried to use his spiritual sense to calm it down, but it wouldn't listen to him at all. His intent didn't work and his connection with the manual certainly didn't.

Alex started getting frustrated as he couldn't even think what exactly he could do. 'God, I hope this works,' he thought.

Suddenly, he placed his palm onto the book's cover and started bleeding. As soon as the sweet blood touched the leather cover of the Blood God's manual, a mouth opened up on the front cover at started sucking away the blood.

While the book was distracted, Alex forced the Death aura into it, which as he had hoped worked. He did this for a few minutes before pulling back his arm.

He thought the book was satisfied with his blood. However, the moment he let go, the spirit in the book started whining again, rejecting the blood aura.

Alex had to unfortunately let it suck more of his blood to quell its anger.

Dao of Space, Dao of Death, and now feeding his blood to a book, Alex worked on multiple tasks at once, putting quite a strain on his focus.

At the next moment, he had to use one more Dao.

He used the Dao of Blood Aura to transform his Qi into Blood aura so that the new blood his Undying physique was creating could also be just as tasty for the book.

Alex had to continue performing these 4 tasks all at once for nearly half an hour before all of the death aurae inside of that space were fully gone.

Only then was the job done and he could finally stop.
