Chapter 200 Ch 200: Era Of Nine Swords
Alex and the mother Light Devouring Beast talked about many things for a while.
From mother Light Devouring Beast, Alex got to know about those things that he might not know even in the True Essence Sky World.
He got to know that the Primordial Era is the very first era after the birth of Essence Sky World. She doesn't talk about other worlds, but to the people of Essence Sky World, the first era was called the Primordial Era. In that era, cultivation, and cultivators, both were too profound to compare with the current era.
But something happened that brought that era to its end. After the Primordial Era, another Era called the Era of Nine Sword came. And after the Era of Nine Swords ended, the current era started.
As for the details, even she is completely unaware. She got to know about the Era of Nine Sword in the Valley of Death as well. She had found a crumbled temple there which very likely came from the Era of Nine Swords.
Since countless people of the current era entered the Valley of Death to explore it, it is not a surprise that the people of the Era of Nine Sword must have also entered. Among the countless dead people, the owner of that temple must be one. But unlike others, before dying, he left behind his inheritance. This proved that the owner of that temple must be very powerful in his time.
Mother Light Devouring Beast promised Alex to bring him to that temple the next time he'll come to meet her in the Valley of Death.
With that, she suddenly disappeared.
Alex didn't even she how she left. She just disappeared.
Sighing, Alex regretted not replicating treasures on her body. If he had replicated them, he could have used them for a long time at least.
It was a pity that he wanted to wait for her to evolve before replicating.
And now, it turns out that she wanted to return to the Valley of Death before evolving.
Alex shook his head and sighed.
He had also asked a question that troubled him from the moment he come to know that both of them are the only Light Devouring Beast alive in the entire world, or maybe, in the entire universe now.
He asked, since she hatched from an egg a thousand years ago, and at that time, she was the only Light Devouring Beast, how did she give birth to the little Light Devouring Beast?
It was at that time that he come to know about a very unique ability of Light Devouring Beasts.
If Light Devouring Beasts want to give birth, they don't really need a male companion. They only need to continuously devour sources of light containing enormous energy and form an egg inside their body. And then they could give birth.
But they could only give birth like this one time and only egg. If they want to produce more, they need male companions.
Alex was really surprised when he come to know about this.
Well, after mother Light Devouring Beast left, Alex also chose to leave this place, for there is nothing more left for him to take a look at or explore.
But before he left, he looked at the little Light Devouring Beast wrapped around his right hand. She was still asleep. The last time she appeared and devoured to attack Alex, she fell asleep and has yet to wake up.
Alex sighed. According to the mother Light Devouring Beast, little Light Devouring Beast had devoured more than what she should have at her level, that's why she fell asleep. She needs time to digest. Well, when she'll woke up, her strength would have risen to another level.
.....
Alex appeared outside the triangular circle where the three trees were made. Then he jumped into the lake and swam to go to the other side.
After that, Alex found a place and started refining Earth Spirit Pills. The Devouring Flame of Blue Monarch is still out there. He wanted to subdue the Devouring Flame of Blue Monarch before leaving this place.
And to do that, he needed to increase his strength. After all, the Devouring Flame of Blue Monarch is an Emperor Rank treasure. He needed enough strength if he wants to subdue it.
Thus, he took started refining Earth Spirit Pills. He had already brought all the ingredients needed to refine this pill before coming to enter the maze.
Alex spent a total of three days refining three hundred Earth Spirit Pill. During these three days, he had not failed a single time.
After he had done refining three hundred Earth Spirit Pills, all the ingredients he had brought from outside had been used up. Thus, it was time to cultivate and increase his strength.
About a month later...

It only took him about a month of time to raise his cultivation base from Origin Sea Stage Level 2 to Origin Sea Stage Level 9. He was now only one step away from becoming a Heavenly Completion Stage martial warrior.
He could have continued cultivating, unfortunately, he had already used up all 300 Earth Spirit Pills in this period of one month of cultivation.
Isn't this too shocking?
20 to 30 pills should have been enough for other people to rise from Origin Sea Stage Level 2 to Level 9, but Alex consumed 300 pills in order to raise his cultivation to such a level. This shows the difference between Spirit Energy and Chaos Energy.
Although the conversion ratio of two energies is simply too huge, the difference it brought along is also very terrifying.
Alex could not defeat a peak Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior with his current strength if he had been cultivating Spirit Energy. But because of the strength brought by Chaos Energy, he could definitely go against an ordinary Martial King without any fear.
Alex still had a very large amount of Earthly Spirit Milk in his possession. All he needed was other ingredients to refine more Earthly Spirit Pills and break through to the Heavenly Completion Stage.
But all ingredients have already been used up.
Thus, Alex decided to swallow raw Earthly Spirit Milk. If he wants to subdue the Devouring Flame of Blue Monarch, he at least needed the strength of a peak Heavenly Completion Stage martial warrior. And he was determined to raise his cultivation base to this extent before leaving this place.
As for the mission for which he entered the maze, in reality, it has nothing to do with him.
He believed that Viresh and other members of the Alchemist Association would definitely be able to look for their President and other three people. After all, Viresh is a Void King Stage martial warrior.
His presence in Viresh's team doesn't bring any change at all. His presence or absence is almost the same. It doesn't have any effect at all.
Thus, Alex decided to ignore everything and focus on himself.
After subduing the Devouring Flame of Blue Monarch, he'll go and look for the Stone of Tomorrow.
Knowing about the Stone of Tomorrow and finding the Key, Alex was determined to obtain the Stone of Tomorrow and witness its might. He also wants to travel in the future and see what the future has to offer him.
At the same time, he also wants to learn the secret technique that could let him manipulate time in some way. This secret technique is hidden in the Stone of Tomorrow and could only be learned during the time when a person is using the Stone of Tomorrow to travel in the future.
And the first step was to subdue the Devouring Flame of Blue Monarch, for it knows the location of the gate that has hidden the Stone of Tomorrow behind it.
Thus, Alex once again focused on his cultivation.
