Rise of the Alchemy God

Chapter 278 The Guo Siblings

.

This is because, unlike his sister, Guo Tao had a cultivation talent that was very average, and it was not wrong to say that if it weren't for Ethan's help,

who had provided him with all the resources necessary to walk his cultivation path smoothly, he would still be at the fourth or, worse, the third stage of the mortal realm.

Thus, Ethan told him to take his time and do all the steps properly to avoid ending up with weak foundations that would only hinder his future progress.

That said, unlike Guo Tao, his sister, Guo Lan, had not remained in the mortal realm and had already advanced to the spiritual realm several years ago.

Although the cultivation of the two siblings had progressed hand-in-hand up to a certain point, Guo Tao's cultivation needed to stabilize properly toward the end, while Guo Lan's did not.

This was due to her special physique, which allowed her to cultivate comfortably without encountering too many difficulties, even more so because she had been taken under Bai Yu's wing, who personally guided her.

This further accelerated her cultivation base, which ultimately reached the spiritual realm.

At present, she was very close to reaching the intermediate level of the first stage of cultivation, and in this sense, she was very near to Ethan.

However, if one were to consider not cultivation but strength, then Ethan was still several steps ahead, enough to suppress her as if she were still in the mortal realm. This, of course, was due to his rich arsenal, which ranged from his special physical body to his dragon bloodline, and so on... Enjoy more content from empire

If someone were to see them now, they would think they had an easy path because they had lived in a secure place and cultivated under the guidance of beings at the level of Bai Yu and Ethan.

But only the two of them knew what torturous training they had to endure to get to where they were now.

Guo Lan, in particular, being taken as Bai Yu's direct disciple, had been the one most tortured...

Cough,

trained, of the two.

From being thrown into the Beast Forest for several years, where she had to learn to survive while honing her combat techniques, to successfully passing the ice trial that Bai Yu personally prepared to train her element, she had her fair share of experiences.

But if she had to choose to do those things again, she would gladly do them because, in the end, the results were nothing short of exceptional.

And so the two siblings enjoyed their dinner before each returning to their respective tasks.

Or at least, that was their plan, but...

Swish.

Soon, next to the wooden platform with a cone shaped roof, a figure of a person appeared.The two, having an idea of ??who he might be, rushed to welcome him.

They expected to see the familiar figure of Ethan, accompanied by Bai Yu, but what they saw shocked them both.

***

Ethan, who had just arrived in his minor dimension, wasted no time and immediately began the process of healing his body.

He was glad that his body wasn't irreparably damaged because, in some cases, he would have had to destroy it and rebuild it from scratch, just as he had done when he ascended into the spiritual realm, a process that would have taken some time this time, since he didn't need to ascend but rather rebuild himself and restore his cultivation base to its original state.

In other words, he had to start all over again.

The only advantage in all of this was that, unlike before, when there were specific steps to be taken for each stage of every realm, this time, he would only need to cultivate, something at which he was an expert,since just making a few level 4 pills would be enough to restore his cultivation to its previous state.

But fortunately for him, he didn't have to do that .

"How did you end up in this state, and what happened to Bai Yu? Why can't I sense her presence?" asked Yao Hua as she finished repairing Ethan's body.

Thanks to her high affinity with the wood element, she was the most skilled in this field, and indeed, she managed to restore Ethan in less than an hour.

That said, she had to admit that, although it didn't take too long overall, she had to do her best since Ethan's body was severely damaged.

Ethan's condition, coupled with the fact that Bai Yu the person who was practically always present when he was here, wasn't around, caused some concern.

Even the Guo siblings, who had found Ethan in this condition earlier, were there, waiting silently for him to recover and give an explanation of what had happened.

However, the three of them were not the only ones here. Another person was also present, someone who had become Ethan's subordinate some time ago.

Chen Yixue, the woman from the group of three demonic cultivators who had become Ethan's subordinates.

Ever since they had submitted to Ethan, the three had worked and cultivated in the minor dimension the entire time, and only recently did they have the chance to leave.

They had practically remained in this dimension for more than two centuries now, and at this point, their cultivation bases, which had been slightly above that of a cultivator at the fourth stage, had now reached the spiritual realm.

Once they reached this level, Ethan decided to position them on the three continents to ensure that, while he was away, they would prevent any wars from breaking out among the continents.

He had sent the two male cultivators to the human and beast continents, while Chen Yixue was supposed to be assigned to the continent recently purified.

However, she hadn't had the chance to do so as this situation arose before she could leave.

Thus, among the three, she was the only one who remained here. And currently, like the Guo siblings and the elemental spirit, she was also waiting for Ethan to finish being healed.

"Thank's Hua," said Ethan as he finally felt his body brimming with energy, just like before.

He then looked at the expressions of everyone else and took a deep breath as he said:

"I assume you all have questions for me."
