Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy Chapter 3282 The Commonality

Shumi did exactly as Alex asked, telling him about the trials she had taken.

"The first trial I took was a suppression test," she began.

Alex nodded. "Sa here."

"The second trial had a spiral hedge that I had to push an uneven rock through."

Once again, it was the sa as Alex. He nodded, beckoning her to continue. Shumi did.

"The third trial had pools of lava from where small fire birds sprung out to attack us. They were relatively easy to handle."

"The fourth trial had a venomous fog I had to go through."

"The fifth trial was another suppression test, this ti much stronger than before. Many failed."

"The sixth trial was one where we had to pour a lot of Qi into the formation at the center. I gave up the first ti around here. The second ti around, I ca back with many resources prepared to improve my Qi while in there."

"The seventh trial was another one with stronger fire birds. This ti, they couldn't be stopped physically, so everyone but failed."

Alex was a little surprised, considering there had been four people that had passed that trial in his batch. Pearl and Scarlet passed because of him, but Wu Tanglan had made it through all on his own.

"The eighth trial was one with a poison forest. It was also the trial where the black and white spires appeared for to use."

"The ninth-"

"How did you pass the eighth trial?" Alex asked, cutting her off.

"It's just poison," she explained. "I have a Qi Quelling Physique after all, so poison doesn't do anything to ."

Alex laughed a little while nodding. "I get that. I ant to ask if you bothered deactivating the white spire."

"Oh. No," Shumi said simply. "I had no reason to worry about the trial, and I was alone, so there was no point."

Alex nodded. That made sense. "Please continue."

Shumi nodded and continued speaking. "The ninth trial was one with tongues of flas that turned into birds inside my spiritual sea. But since I had the Spirit Quelling Mist, I didn't have to worry."

"The tenth trial was one that had imnse pressure, to the point where I was forced to use my Unbreakable God Physique to pass."

"The eleventh trial was one that forced to pour in a lot of Qi in a very short amount of ti. Thankfully, there were poison plants there, so I converted them to Qi and passed."

"The twelfth trial was another poison island, this ti much stronger. It was also where I t this little guy. We passed that trial together and arrived here at the 13th trial."

Listening to it all, Alex couldn't help but be surprised at how the trials for them were exactly the sa. He would have expected a small variation here and there, maybe switching around the order, but it was all exactly the sa, despite them having taken part in it in different regions.

"My trials were exactly the sa," Alex said. "There must be a reason why it was exactly the sa."

Shumi gave a slight look of surprise. "So it was as we thought," she said. "But I can't see anything similar between the trials. They were different enough from each other from what I can tell."

Alex nodded. "At first, I thought the order might have sothing to do with it. How it goes from suppression to Qi depletion to fire birds to

poison, but that order is ssed up throughout."

Shumi nodded as well, but then her eyes narrowed. "But those are the trials that show up again and again, right? Stronger than ever, but it's the sa four or five trials again and again."

Alex took in her words and nodded. "Yes, it's the sa four trials. The one with the fire birds appearing in our spiritual sea happens once, but that's likely because there was no point in doing that again and again since you can't really scale that trial."

Shumi seed excited as she continued talking. "They get stronger and stronger, don't they? Inhumanly stronger. To the point where even Divinities would struggle to pass these trials. Maybe one or two, but not all of them. The last four trials before the final one are especially impossible."

Alex nodded. Trials 9 through 12 were pretty much impossible for a regular person to complete, likely even with great artifacts.

A bird capable of killing Divinities had to be given access to their spiritual sea. A pressure capable of stopping a Divinity had to be walked through. An amount of Qi equal to 50 tis the size of their dantian had to be poured into a platform. A forest of poisonous plants that could kill Divinities had to be walked through.

It wouldn't be strange for soone to pass one of these trials-given that even Whisker had gotten through the poison one. But all of

them? That was impossible.

Or... nearly impossible.

There were two people for whom it wasn't impossible, and they were

sitting right in front of each other.

Shumi took off her veil again, her wide eyes looking directly into Alex's. She had co to the sa conclusion as Alex.

"This trial is the sa as all the other trials," Alex repeated the bird's words. "It can only be completed by the two who hold the bodies of

the True God."

Shumi nodded. "The trial is for us," she said. "Everything has been set

up for the two of us. Because of that, we are the only people who could have passed through all those trials, not because we are capable, but because we were born capable."

Alex nodded. "It was the properties of our two bodies that have

allowed us to pass through each trial before, all the way from the start. So, it only makes sense that we have to rely on them to pass this

one as well."

Alex stood up. "We don't have to find any entryway or use so trick

to use what exists on this island. All we can rely on here are the True

Gods' bodies."
