Chapter 119: Cultivation and Investigation

Alexander reopened the realm gate to the origin verse on the next day and returned to the origin verse. He had decided to cultivate on one of the conquered planets present in Zone-2. The increased chaos energy in the next zone will help in his fast and stable advancement. As Alexander arrived on the selected planet, he found an entire battalion of HeavenlyGod Realm Cultivators waiting for him. These Cultivators were here to protect him from any unexpected dangers. Alexander simply nodded and transformed into his dragon form. He planned to advance to peak HighGod Realm before he returned to the Martial Spirit World.

Alexander coiled his body, laid down on the ground and waited for his men to finish their work. A group of Cultivators stepped forwards and started laying down advanced energy gathering formations around Alexander. The formations discovered, found, recovered, researched and developed by the empire till now, were divided into beginner, intermediate and advanced level. A beginner level formation of the empire was a master level formation for the Cultivators of the 13 universes. An advanced level energy formation gathered energy directly from the void and converted it into the energy present in it's surroundings. The amount of energy gathered was like a vast ocean, completely capable of turning a qi less planet into a cultivation paradise within minutes.

Alexander had ordered the Formations Research and Development Department to lay down the foundations of the advanced energy gathering formations on the sun, moon and mainland of his kingdom, in accordance with the their overall size. The reason behind this was the effect of qi on celestial bodies' size. It increased the size of the celestial bodies, depending on the concentration and purity of the qi. The increase was gradual but it happened. Now, Alexander's kingdom was different from other planets. It will increase rapidly in size when the qi was absorbed by it.

Thankfully, he had complete control over the kingdom so he could control whether to increase the size or the concentration of qi on the kingdom. He planned to have all the three celestial bodies inlaid with formations so that the balance will be maintained between the three. This was another reason why he wanted his people to at least advance to Saint Realm in cultivation He planned to activate the formations after all his people advance to Saint Realm. According to recent reports, around 70 percent of the population living on the mainland had advanced to the Saint Realm.

Alexander watched as his people activated the formations and sensed massive amount of energy being attracted towards his location. He quickly started absorbing the energy and felt himself advancing from Early First Order Hountian Realm to Peak Tenth Order Hountian Realm within minutes. Alexander laughed in joy and continued his cultivation. It took him less than one hour to advance to the peak of Xiantian Realm of cultivation. He then started to ponder upon the next step of his cultivation.

He thought, " In order to become a Saint Realm Cultivator, one has to understand the space-time laws of the world I am currently in. Now, the biggest marvel of the space-time laws that was available to me is the realm gate itself. The function of the gate may appear to be simplistic, the ability to peer into worlds and travel to the selected worlds but the complexity behind the artifact is not something that I can even imagine at this point. The normal Cultivators of this world increase their qi reserves till that point where they are able to sense the space-time laws by increasing the perception of their surroundings in exchange of spiritual energy. That's why advancing to Saint Realm is impossible for Cultivators below grade 7 in Martial Spirit World. The quantity of spiritual energy present in their body is not enough to increase their perception to the level where the space-time laws can be sensed. Moreover, the quality of the spiritual energy is also low."

He took a deep breadth and tried to sense the space-time laws for his advancement into Saint Realm. He didn't face any difficulties during his advancement to Saint Realm. He fully concentrated on sensing the laws and only came out of his trance when his all of his energy was used up. He rested for a while and started condensing his saint space. Saint space was a pocket space present inside the body of a Saint Realm cultivator which could be used to store things. Once destroyed, it couldn't be formed again. The size of pocket space depended on the comprehension of space-time laws and the quality of spiritual energy. It took Alexander a few hours to form his saint space. Alexander watched as a ball of purple and grey lights formed below his dantian. This was the saint space. He send his spiritual sense inside the space and found that the space was quite big. He estimated that the space was at least the size of a modern Earth meteropolitian city. This showed the quality of chaos qi and his own talent in comprehending the space-time laws.

Alexander, once again, concentrated on his cultivation and quickly began to absorb chaos qi from the surroundings. While he was cultivating, he had no inkling of the potential troubles which were making their way towards him...

{ AN UNKNOWN PLACE WITHIN THE HARRY POTTER MULTIVERSE}

A gigantic figure could be seen floating in the void between the worlds. The figure was tall enough to make planets look like small pebbles. Decked in pitch black cloak, the figure looked quite menacing and struck fear in the hearts of anyone gazing upon it. Suddenly it spoke up in a raspy voice, " What did you find, Collector?"

Another gigantic figure appeared in front of the previous one and spoke in a strong tone " What are you doing here, Executioner? This is not a matter that concerns you."

The pitch black figure spoke in a cold voice, " Someone stole a universe from our Lord. How can I not be here? It's my duty to punish such offenders."

The Collector snorted and said, " You were never concerned about the loss of ordinary universes like this. So, what's the change?"

Suddenly a black sword materialized in the hands of The Executioner and he put the sword on The Collector's neck. He pressed down the sword and yelled, " I know that mother seeds were revealed in that universe. That's why you have personally come here. You are merely interested in finding the means by which these unknown preparators discovered the mother seeds. I, on the other hand, want to punish the ones who have done this crime. Now, answer me."

In reply, he got a punch in the gut, which launched him billions of light years away. The Executioner spat out a mouthful of black blood, which in reality was equivalent to a very vast ocean and roared, which destroyed a few hundred worlds nearby and charged at the Collector. A golden spear appeared in Collector's hands and he also ran towards the Executioner. Before, they could collide, their weapons vanished from their hands and pressure which made them go on their knees descended on them. Both looked in the same direction and found a beautiful woman with black hairs and red eyes and a bountiful figure walking towards them. The woman was equal to a normal human height but the pressure excluded by her was everything but normal.

The woman snorted and said, " Stop your petty arguments. The world was stolen by a new king on crasp of ascending. He will need a few million years more before he could ascend though. I have already recorded his magical signature. His kingdom will bear his mark and after a few million years, we will start tracking him down. Having another king in our ranks, will be very beneficial in the upcoming multiversal war."

The Executioner said in a low tone, " My Lady, we don't need help of the race of those dishonourable thieves!!!"

The Collector lightly laughed and said, " You are still holding on your grudge. That king is already dead. He only conquered a few thousand worlds under you. Oh.... Now, I remember, you nearly lost a prime universe to him also, had our Lord had not interferred in the fight. You were punished with a trillion years of solitary imprisonment. It was a blissful time for me."

The Executioner puffed up in anger, but a cold look towards him from the woman stopped any reactions from him. The lady snorted and said, " The loss of a few mother trees and a low-tier world is not enough to cause us any problem. We have billions of mother trees under us. The lead to a newly ascended king is incredibly precious. You all know that majority of kings are captured as soon as they ascend and made to swear themselves up to the true hegemons of our universe. We, ourselves, only have a 500 kings under us. An addition of another king will be very beneficial to us. We could just sell him to higher powers or employ him in inflitration and spying. We should also defend against the alliance of kings, which is formed by the kings who managed to fend or kill off their would be capturers and instead become very powerful by conquering multiple multiverses. These worms always try to mess up our plans. We will not let this happen. Prepare your armies, as soon as he ascends, we will attack. Now, go!!!"

The two figures nodded and simply vanished. The woman waited for a few minutes and took out a golden disk and spoke, " I have information about a new king. He has managed to acquire mother seeds for himself. I can give you his magical signature. The price is 50,000,000 cosmic crystals. Answer quickly, I don't have much time." The woman put away the disk and vanished.

The void remained silent for a few more hours and then a tear in space occured as a black round object, which was completely hidden in the blackness of space entered the tear and moved to an unknown location. All this happened while Alexander cultivated, unaware off the enemies that were coming for him.
