Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 557 The Invasion of Foreign Memories

"..." Alex was practically speechless, as he found no proper words to describe what was happening in front of him.

Two powerful women, both who can easily kill Alex with a swipe, were still going at it right now, with both sides not budging at all!

Even if they were not unleashing any of their attacks at this point, Alex could still feel extreme pressure from where he was standing.

This pressure was so extreme that Alex had the feeling that if he tries to make a sound now, the anger of the two bickering women will be focused on him!

"Tsk, this is the thing that I dread the most! Being forced to not do anything just because more powerful people had decided to mess with me! Argh, this sucks!" Alex thought angrily to himself as he tried to keep his body steady. He looked visibly unpleasant now, which is already a given considering his situation. "Tsk, why am I always facing ridiculous things like these everyday? This is just-"

"What the-?" Alex, who was just having a complain fest inside his mind, began to feel his body lurching as a sensation of nausea filled him. This made him sway on the spot, making him look like a drunk man.

"What the hell is this?" This was all that Alex could say as he felt more and more sick inside him. "This is not good!"

[WARNING: FOREIGN MEMORIES ARE STARTING TO INVADE YOUR MIND.]

[WARNING: FOREIGN MEMORIES ARE STARTING TO INVADE YOUR MIND.]

[WARNING: FOREIGN MEMORIES ARE STARTING TO INVADE YOUR MIND.]

If it was only nausea that he felt, then it will be fine for Alex. But this was not the only problem that he had.

Countless memories, the type which are not owned by Alex at all, has suddenly began intruding his mind. The sudden appearance of these memories and their quantity was enough to induce a head-splitting pain upon Alex, with him unable to stop himself from shouting out in agony.

[WARNING: FOREIGN MEMORIES ARE STARTING TO INVADE YOUR MIND.]

[WARNING: FOREIGN MEMORIES ARE STARTING TO INVADE YOUR MIND.]

These memories, which Alex’s subconscious has treated as a threat, did not give Alex any pleasant sensation at all. It invaded his mind like a parasite, filling up all of his thoughts before he can stop them.

[WARNING: FOREIGN MEMORIES ARE STARTING TO INVADE YOUR MIND.]

[WARNING: FOREIGN MEMORIES ARE STARTING TO INVADE YOUR MIND.]

"Ugh, this is not good. I must-" As more and more memories filled his mind, Alex’s mind began to dim, with his consciousness seemingly appearing to fade away. His awareness, which was blazing brightly like a star before, has now dissipated like ash. Even his boisterous imagination had no power against the intruding memories, leaving Alex literally empty-minded now.

"Ugh..." With his mind and thought starting to succumb from the sweet embrace of unconsciousness, all that Alex can do is to curse the person who placed him into this predicament.

Such action of course had no help to Alex at all, as before he knew it, his world had gone dark.

"That’s it? That’s the best you can do?" Person 1 asked incredulously. "Only the peak of the Second Stage? Wow, you really just stopped it there right? Can’t you just make me reach the Third Stage already?"

"Moron!" Person 2 replied angrily. He seemed to be offended not by Person 1 doubting his ability, but by Person 1 wanting to reach the Third Stage quickly.

"The Third Stage means the crystallization of a core! For the Immortal Cultivators, they have to make a Dao Core while Godly Practitioners have to create a Mana Core! Crystallizing a core cannot be just done because you want it!"

"There are some criteria required to fulfill before one can create a core! As for you right now, you have only fulfilled one!" Person 2 hissed, with his harsh words managing to shake Person 1’s argument.

"Fine..." Actually, Person 1 knew that the best he can be boosted right now was up to the Peak of the Second Stage. As for the Third Stage, just like what Person 2 said, there are some criterion needed before he can attempt it.

With him not able to fulfill even one right now, the best he can do was to push on until the peak Second Stage.

"This stingy old man!" Person 1 thought angrily thought to himself. "He’s clearly wary on me right now! Seems like I can’t wheedle more stuff him..."

With Person 2 hell-bent on staying suspicious, Person 1 was left with no choice but to swallow his pride.

With a speed comparable to a crashing rock, Person 1 quickly bowed in front of Person 2 as he said,

"Disciple Person 1 greets Master Person 2!"

[REDACTED]

[REDACTED]

[REDACTED]

"Why so quick to accept me?" Person 2 asked to Person 1, as he tried to keep his emotions from showing. "What if your first master who is young and fresh gets angry?"

"Well, my first master said that its fine for me to accept more masters, as long as they are not that extremely evil." Person 1 slowly said. "You’re not evil right?"

"Of course I’m not!"

"Then what is your name master? Since you are my master now, I need to know your name!"

"Ehem." Person 2 coughed as he seemingly tried to divert the topic. "If you want to know my name, you must reach a level of strength that will satisfy me!"

"What level of strength is that then?" Person 1 asked like an innocent toddler.

"Hmm... maybe the Seventh Stage." Person 2 said while rubbing her beard sagely. "Reach that stage, and you will be allowed this one’s name."

"You really do not want to say your name..." Person 1 shook his head as he looked at Person 2. "Is your name that ugly that you do not want it to be heard?"

"Ugly? No!" Person 2 glared at Person 1 ferociously, as if the words he said seemed to have offended him. "For your information, this one’s name was a splendid and majestic one."

"Then why am I not allowed to know it?"

"It’s because your strength is not enough to accept the burden of hearing my name!" Person 2 said this with finality. "Sigh. As of now, just call me Person 2."

"Okay." Person 1 shrugged as if he was nonplussed by this. He then gave Person 2 a sharp, calculating look as he said, "Since you are my master now, let’s initiate a master-disciple contract!"

"Excellent! You did not forget to do that. You really are cautious." Person 2 seemed to be more impressed as he saw Person 1 still being wary against him. "Even if you just accepted me as your master, you are still right to suspect me. Who knows, I might be actually a space vampire out to consume your flesh. With you making this contract, you are assuring your safety."

"Hehe." Person 1 stuck out his tongue to Person 2. "Being cautious is better than being victimized right?"

"Indeed."

Both of them then stared at each other as they recited the mantra for the initiation of the master-disciple contract.

Minutes passed by and Person 1 felt a subtle connection with Person 2. He knew this was their karma, now bounded together by a master-disciple relationship.

"Let’s see... what shall I teach you first? Alchemy or Talisman Making? If its alchemy, then I should make you start memorizing all the names of vegetations..." Person 2 did not waste time as he started devising a studying plan for Person 1.

Person 1, who heard all sorts of theoretical ideas and book references from Person 2 , began to shake as his intellectual side trembled.

This shivering of Person 1 just increased as he realized that his new master was way different from Person 3.

Person 3 was the type of person to just give his disciple the tools and let them learn it by themselves. As for this Person 2, he clearly cared enough to be involved on teaching his disciple.

"If Master Person 3 can just be like this..." Person 1 thought to himself amusedly. "Hey master Person 2, remember what you said to me earlier?"

"Ah, about me bringing you the peak of the Second Stage? Forget that one, I was lying about that." Person 2 said dismissively.

"What?" Person 1 stood up, glaring at Person 2 with daggers on his eyes. He stomped his way towards him, with anger clearly evident on his movements.

"Does that mean you cannot bring me to the Peak of the Second Stage?"

"I can bring you at the peak of the Second Stage, but that is not what I am planning to give to you." Person 2 said while snickering. He seemed to like making Person 1 angry. "Instead of bringing you to the peak of the Second Stage, I will bring you to a more special state."

"A more special state?" Right now, Person 1 felt as if Person 2 was actually not pranking him anymore. He strained his ears as he listened closely.

"You know that you cannot reach the Third Stage yet as of now, but I can help you create something similar to that." Person 2 said as he rubbed his hands excitedly.

"I shall help you create an Essence Core!"
