Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
chapter-1211

The girl acted a little awkward when meeting Alex for the first time. She understood that he was different from her father, so the experience was very unique and not so pleasant for her.

Especially because she understood the importance of his existence. After all, biologically speaking, she knew that it was him who was her real father.

Alex was confused about that aspect too. His clone had told him the same thing and now the young girl in front of him was telling him the same thing as well.

"Can you explain to me why she and my clone think that I am her biological father?" Alex asked using his spiritual sense.

The man heard it and gave a reply with his spiritual sense as well.

"Back when I first made clones, there was one thing I was worried about more than anything else. It was the fact that sending genuinely talented folks out into the world full of not-so-talented ones, I would soon cause the uniqueness of these humans to dissipate."

"Just like it happened with everyone in this realm, over time the humans would get together with the not-so-talented folks and pass down children who will come out being overall weaker than everyone."

"I tried very hard to overcome this problem for a while, and that was when I came up with the idea," the man said. "Since I could not affect who got together with who on the outside, I would have to use the ones that were still here."

"Meaning, I used the clones to give birth to children that would belong to the original bodies," the man said.

Alex's eyes widened. "Is that sort of thing even possible?" he asked.

"It's not impossible," the man said. "But it's very hard to get right. Also, I couldn't do it with just anyone either. I had to focus on those that were truly worth having their lineage pass down."

"That came out to be about 5% of the total population. So, for them, I set up a system where part of the clone's reproductive system would actually be from the real person."

"For men, I had a small part of their organ create the seeds of the Original body that would be stored up over time, which would only be released when it understood the person's intention to have a child."

"As for the female, it was a little harder, but I managed to do something similar somehow by simply storing their eggs," the man said.

"So… to sum it all up, you ended up making our clones surrogate parents for our children, is that right?" Alex asked. "Her mother was in fact a surrogate mother to her real mother who is now dead."

"Uhh… yes, that's basically it," the man said. "Only for the first children though. Not all of them."

Alex sighed after their spiritual talk was over and turned to look at the girl. "Come here, Maron, let me take a look at you," he said.

The girl quickly nodded and walked up to Alex.

Alex looked at her closely and smiled. "I would've tried to come here sooner if I knew about you, sorry," he said.

"N-no, father. It's alright," the girl said. "It was master's fault anyway for you not knowing about me at all."

Alex nodded. "At least, I got to meet you now," he said. "I can't believe I have a daughter, one that's as pretty as you even," he said.

"Hehe," Maron gave a small laugh.

"Can I call you Ronron too?" Alex asked.

"Yes, please call me that, father," she quickly said.

The awkwardness was still there, the more she talked the less it became. Alex looked at her eyes closely once again and was surprised by how unique they were.

"Why are your eyes so different? Are you practicing some sort of eye technique?" he asked.

"No, I'm not," the girl shook her head. "These are just my normal eyes that I was born with."

"Green and Silver? I have rarely ever seen green eyes, let alone silver. I don't have either of those colors, and I don't believe your mother has it either, so how do you have it?"

"That…" the girl glanced at her master, seemingly asking for some help.

"You can tell him. He's your father, you can do whatever you think is right," the man said.

The girl nodded and looked back at Alex. "My eyes are of this color because of the body I was born with, or at least that's what master says," she said.

Alex got curious when he heard that. "And… what body is that?" he asked.

The girl looked at the man one last time and answered, "The Sky God's physique," she said.

It took Alex a moment to realize what she had said and understand its importance. Even then, he wasn't sure he truly understood the importance of those words.

"The Sky God's physique?" Alex looked at the senior. "Is this… the same Sky God as the one that is your master?"

"The very same," the man said. "Very few people in the many realms are born with this sort of physique, and your daughter happens to be one of them. You could not believe my surprise when I saw the omen that led to her birth. For a moment I had believed my master had found me."

"Then it must be a very good body," Alex said. "What grade is it?"

"It's a Divine grade body," the man said. "It could actually be a Celestial grade body, but the disadvantages of the body pull it back a grade."

"Disadvantages? What sort?" Alex asked worriedly.

"First of all, because of her physique, she could never form spiritual roots of the other elements. Meaning, she only has a Wood spiritual root. She doesn't even have meridians for neutral Qi. Everything Qi in her body is wood Qi."

"Secondly, because all of her meridians and Qi have a wood affinity, she cannot cultivate normally and can only do so when using formations or natural treasures with a lot of wood affinity."

"With just these two problems, any person with a Sky God's physique very quickly lags behind their peers when it comes to cultivation, and most of the time dies before they even reach the Immortal realm," the man said.

"I see," Alex said. That was certainly a problem, but he wasn't worried. Not only was there a senior —who was definitely in the Divine realm— discipling her, he was there too. He would do what was needed to get his daughter the resources she needed.

"I'm assuming that the body must also have a lot of good to make it to the Divine realm despite all the flaws," Alex said.

"It does," the man said. "Look at her eyes again. She had a green right eye, but she also has a silver left eye. Do you know what that means?"

"Silver… space?" Alex asked. "You mentioned your master having prowess in Space."

"Yes," the man said excitedly. "Anyone born with the Sky God's physique has a natural affinity to Space and can easily sense and learn from its mysteries. That is one of the reasons why I always keep her in this place where I have the space expanded."

"I am sure she will learn the Space dao very soon."
