Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Alex slightly nudged the side of the crack and was immediately shocked. For something that was supposed to be made out of nothing, the silver lines of the crack were incredibly sturdy.

He pushed with slightly more strength and was even more surprised how he wasn’t capable of forcing it to budge at all.

‘How is it so strong?’ Alex wondered and used more force to move the sword through the crack in space. However, when even that didn’t work, Alex used his entire cultivation base and body to force the sword to move.

To his surprise, it worked. His sword moved through the crack and… one-half of the sword fell to the ground. Alex watched in surprise when he realized that he hadn’t moved his sword through the crack, but rather the crack through his sword.

‘How can this be?’ he wondered. ‘How is this so sharp that it can cut my sword?’

While his sword wasn’t made up of the best material, it was still quite great. Especially after his perfect tempering, the sword was a lot strong than other swords made up using the same materials and design.

‘Space can cut through items too?’ Alex thought for a bit. That was a massive piece of information he had just learned.

He tried meditating on that fact, ignoring his broken sword, but he reached nowhere. Cutting space was already something that he was barely capable of doing. Using Space to cut was not something he could hope to do anytime soon.

Alex got back up and looked at the silver crack that somehow shined even in the night light, most likely by refracting the silver light of the moon itself.

He hesitated for a bit, but there was nothing else he could do here that would help him learn more. There was only a single thing left, so Alex did it.

He took a deep breath and sent his Qi into the crack with the intent to open it up. Space aura emerged from him along with his intent and Qi, and when it landed on the crack, the crack opened up.

He sucked in even more air from the instance of fear he could help but feel. However, he quickly lost that thought as the majesty of what lay in front of him enamored him.

In his sense, the open crack in space was dark and turbulent. However, to his eyes, it looked beautiful. Like a work of art, the inside of the crack was ever-shifting with purple and silver colors along with some dark parts that constantly seemed to move around.

For some reason, Alex’s eyes, despite the fact of how good they were, couldn’t focus on anything in front of him. The silver and purple mixture looked as if it was right in front of him at one moment, and in the next, it was so far away that it looked tiny in comparison.

Alex didn’t know much about space, but even he could tell that the space inside the crack was ever-shifting, ever-changing.

Alex felt his spiritual sense crumble within a moment after entering again, and this time he thought he knew why.

When his spiritual sense entered the crack, it would be close to him. However, at the next stage, it would be hundreds of thousands of kilometers away and thus no longer work.

If what he realized was true, then there was more in this world than he thought he knew.

Alex took the broken top piece of the sword and took it close to the crack. He held it firmly so that the space crack didn’t suddenly swallow it in, but he also held it loose enough so that if there was any strong suction force around the crack, it didn’t drag him along as well.

When he did bring the blade close enough, he was surprised that the blade wasn’t sucked in at all. There was still some suction force, but it was of the same strength as when the crack was nothing but a splinter in space.

Still, he wanted to see what would happen to a blade if it did go into the crack, so after reaching close enough, Alex tossed it in.

The blade floated in the air right where Alex had tossed it, not going anywhere at all. It wasn’t affected by gravity, it seemed. Nor was it affected by time.

Alex was confused this time around. The space inside was definitely shifting, so why didn’t the blade move along with it?

He thought for a moment and wondered if it was stationary because he had opened the crack here. What if the blade was away from the crack?

He wanted to do some experiments with the crack now.
