1876 Revisiting the 13th Mountain

Hannah looked around the almost desert-like landscape surrounding the teleportation formation in the Northern Continent.

"Everyone kept telling me how most of the Northern Continent is filled with ice and snow. How come it is a desert instead?" she asked.

"This southern section is like that," Alex explained. "If you go north, you will have snow and ice all around you. You can even sense the snow from right here."

Spiritual sense spread from Hannah like giant waves in the ocean and reached out in all directions.

She nodded in the end, seeing all the snow. "I see," she said. "What do we do now? Do we just return?"

"Sister Hao Ya will do some tests here on the formation. We should let her do it. Meanwhile, I think the people of this continent would be more than excited to meet with the Emperor and Empress of the Eastern Continent."

Alex took Long Huan and Hannah over to the Razing Earth sect, who were more than terrified to have such individuals come to their sect unannounced. They were afraid that their hospitality would not be of the same level as it could have been had they known these people were coming.

Hannah's cultivation base was easy to sense for anyone who wanted to as she didn't hide it like Alex did. So, the moment they saw her, they were certain that she was the second strongest person they had sensed until now.

The only person stronger was the Mad Immortal.

Hannah learned that this was the place where her mother had trained and lived after she arrived on the Northern Continent, so she felt a little more connected with this place.

At the same time, everyone except for the sect master and Tai Guan newly learned that she was the daughter of their very own Liz, which surprised them to no end.

They were more than shocked to learn that Liz had a daughter who was the strongest living human in the world at the moment. More so, she was the Empress of the strongest Empire in the world as well.

That was more than enough to make them treat Hannah as well as they did Alex, perhaps even better.

After a day of being there, Alex took Hannah over to the volcanic mountain ranges not far from the Blazing Earth sect.

12 active volcanic mountains formed a circle with a valley at the center that was prime with Fire aura and treasures with Fire energy in it.

At the very center of it all was a teleportation formation that took one into a secret realm where the 13th volcanic mountain lay inside.

This was where Alex had improved his Fire Spiritual root the first time around using the Flame Mastery Scripture, and this was where he was going to let Hannah do the same as well.

After Hannah's mention of how far she had come in learning Fire Dao, Alex realized that the problem might have been with her Spiritual roots not being good enough to help her learn the Dao.

Hannah had 3 spiritual roots, which were Fire, Water, and Earth. She also had partly Yin and Yang spiritual roots, but they were so very weak that Alex wasn't even sure if he could improve them at all.

Of the 3 roots, all of them were good, but not good enough. Alex had already given her the pills for Water and Earth spiritual root improvement, so it was about time he helped her with Fire spiritual root as well.

Hannah had learned the Flame Mastery Scripture by heart now and was ready to use it to improve her Fire Spiritual Root.

Whisker came out, quickly using his Qi to stop himself from being burned as well. Since he had a Fire spiritual root, he began improving it as well.

Alex sat by Whisker's side all the while he and Hannah were focused on improving themselves. Alex didn't just spend his time there doing nothing; he also used the skill to improve his own Fire Spiritual Root.

Alex couldn't improve his spiritual roots. That was simply impossible given that he had already made it as good as he could with the resources available to him right now.

However, what he could do was check just how the Fire energy affected his spiritual root when he used the skill, and form a pill based on just that.

Alex had a feeling that if he knew enough about formations or scripts, he could perhaps emulate the same effect as the skill using just those things. That way, even those without the skill could improve their Spiritual root.

Unfortunately, he only has such knowledge regarding Pills, and as such he could only make pills to make such improvement.

Whisker was done improving his spiritual root after half a day, at the end of which he returned to his beast space to rest.

Hannah took much longer than him.

Hannah spent nearly 3 days improving her Fire Spiritual root, making Alex wonder why she was taking so long. He remembered his spiritual root improvement taking no longer than a single day, which made him worried that she was doing something wrong.

However, just when he was beginning to think that he needed to help her, he sensed the world move above him and looked up as he saw a gargantuan swirl of colors come down from heaven and land on Hannah.

Alex moved away, leaving Hannah free to learn the Dao.

Alex sensed the aura that leaked from the massive cacophony of energy and sensed the Heat and Fire aura. She was learning two Dao at once.

Alex waited long enough, and at the end of it all Hannah opened her eyes having not just improved her Spiritual Roots, but also having learned 2 new Dao.

If she wished, she could leave for the Immortal Realm right away.

Alex decided to let the others come here and improve their Fire Spiritual root too. His mother needed to improve her spiritual roots. So did his master, and so many other people he knew.

Hao Ya was done checking the formation, so they decided to teleport back to the Central Continent.

Upon returning, Hannah left to go meet with the older Alex, Emily, and Ronron, and go see her uncle's old house.There were also graves of her clone mother and father that she wished to visit.

Long Huan left with her, taking all the guards with him.

Alex remained behind as it was time to go to another continent tomorrow morning.

Since there was some time, Alex requested that he be taught how the teleportation formations worked and how he could fix them should they ever break after Senior Yang was gone.

"Hao Ya had told me that she doesn't wish to leave with me when I leave this realm," the senior said. "So, she will remain behind long enough to explain everything to you."

Alex was a little surprised. "Sister Hao, you are staying behind?" he asked.

"I am going to become an Immortal myself and leave on my own," Hao Ya said. "I wish to do my own thing."

Alex was surprised, but he couldn't argue against her wishes. "That's commendable," he said. "I wish you the best of luck then."
