Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

The power and prestige of a Peerless Alchemist could not be disparaged!

These were the thoughts of many beings as while they still fought to keep their favorable impression of the being they knew as Alexander who was being introduced to them today similar to Empress Genevieve, some couldn't help but form negative opinions of him.

But those with weight and power at the Eighth and Ninth Firmament of Ascendancy knew how to act as the two most powerful Celestial Vines managing the situation here smiled at Noah's and Genevieve's exchange, the voice of Ancestral Elder Chaesalor ringing out with joy.

"We will of course show off all the talents of our Celestial Vines before the Empress, with Elder Alexander's talents being something that might surprise all of us!"

He allowed things to flow smoothly with no tension erupting as he didn't even allow the 5 Peerless Alchemists to begin arguing with Noah, his eyes motioning below as purple robed Master Alchemists seemingly received commands and cleared up the area where the Peerless Alchemists were to make up one extra spot!

"Good! Then let us see the wonders of Alchemy first-hand today…"

The resonant voice of Empress Genevieve echoed out as she and the 10 Pure-Blooded Cardinal Royal Humans that had terrifying buffed statures were led to elevated platforms on the side that had green and gold luxurious seats with curvaceous female Celestial Vines ready to serve sparkling food, this being the area of highest importance as one could see everything playing out on the Centennial Cauldron.

The shimmering purple robes of Alchemists moved in and out as with slight apprehension, Victoria moved with Noah towards the Centennial Cauldron where everything would be happening as the two of them received the stern voice of Ancestral Elder Chaesalor in their ears at this moment!

"I was going to welcome you into our folds fully and even test your gains in Alchemy in private, Alexander, but we will have to find out along with everyone else if your words of having the talent of a Peerless Alchemist are true. Enjoy this experience and don't take any negative gazes seriously as before the status of an Alchemist is certified with everyone's eyes, they can't help but doubt!"

…!

The Ancestral Elder was extremely good as even though they didn't know too much about Noah, they didn't disparage him as they knew an existence with a Bloodline from the Olden Times was still important to rope in.

Noah smiled lightly at this as he sent back silent sound waves.

"Ancestral Elder doesn't have to worry. I just hope you have another set of purple robes meant for a Peerless Alchemist for me to adorn soon."

WAA!

With confidence and splendor, he arrived atop the Centennial Cauldron as the face of the powerful Ninth Firmament Celestial Vine who had opened who knew how many Reality Passages nearly twitched, controlling everything seamlessly as the moment that Empress Genevieve and her terrifying guards were seated he floating above the Centennial Cauldron while releasing an aura of power and wonder with his voice booming out!

"In our Bloodline, we test ourselves to constantly improve and overcome our previous selves with frequent Centennial Alchemy Tournaments…with the one today being a truly important one as we display the glory of Celestial Vines to Empress Genevieve!"

OOOM!

Dazzling waves of green and gold emanated from him as things below were all prepared, Alchemists getting into positions as the semicircular elevated platform surrounding the Centennial Cauldron was filled with important personages ranging from the First to the Eighth Firmament of Ascendancy.

Each of them carried gazes of pride as they considered themselves blessed to witness today's Centennial Alchemy Tournament, with the whole thing being spiced up this time around as an existence claiming to be a Peerless Alchemist without ever showing his skills was actually participating!

"Our lives are spent studying countless Edicts to refine Herbs, Minerals, and all sorts of treasures into glorious destiny-changing Elixirs and Pills. Today, we show off the results of the silent hardships we go through for millions of years in a single day…so be proud of your Alchemic creations and show everyone why the Celestial Vines deserve the honor and glory of Alchemists across these vast Realities!"

"OOOOOH!"

Impassioned words and bellows rang out as multicolored splendor erupted around the Mystical Pill Mountain, Empress Genevieve looking at all of this with an impassive smile with her eyes commonly lingering towards a position of a certain someone who was setting himself up and familiarizing himself with a Pill Furnace.

The shockingly handsome and buffed Pure-Blooded Human guards remained standing behind her as they didn't even take their seats, the curvaceous figures of female Celestial Vines coming around them shyly to serve them refreshments as they gave suggestive looks that caused the hardened eyes of these powerful beings to flash with light!

Those chosen to serve them were actually Celestial Vines at the Sixth Firmament or above, powerful beings such as this actually reduced to serving refreshments for the guests of their Bloodline as they actually did so willingly. For Pure-Blooded Cardinal Royal existences…many of them were even expectant that if they stood out enough, then when night came for people to relax, they might form even stronger connections with these Pure-Blooded creatures in…other unique ways.

If something miraculous occurred and they actually went on to carry a budding Bloodline of a Pure-Blooded existence within them after tonight…their lives would entirely change as they would have a vastly different destiny!

With nuances like this occurring around this Centennial Alchemy Tournament, Ancestral Elder Chaesalor and the other Ancestral Elders took their seats not too far away from Empress Genevieve as an Eighth Firmament Celestial Vine appeared in front of the Centennial Cauldron and began leading the pace of the Tournament.

"The ways of Alchemy are too numerous as the methods of refining are many, with the first task of this tournament being the refinement of an Energy Convergence Pill!"

WAA!

Energy Conversion Pill. An Alchemical creation that allowed one to very quickly recover the mana within their body, and the simplest type of pill to forge out there as The Master Alchemists were the first to start to show off their power!

Each Master Alchemist stood in front of a Cauldron or Pill Furnace that released intense heat that was ready to break down any materials, and the materials to forge an Energy Convergence Pill were provided for everyone atop a verdant glass table that flashed with a spatial light to cause them to appear.

The Master Alchemists waved their hands after studying the newly appearing materials thoughtfully, controlling some to enter their Cauldrons and Pill Furnaces as the arduous task of pill refining began!

Many eyes were focused here as uniquely, one could see that some of the eyes of the Master Alchemists were at times glancing towards Noah's figure with a competitive and unfriendly light, a trace of resentment being carried within these gazes as they saw Noah placed at the same level as Peerless Alchemists even though he wasn't even certified to be one!

Their gazes seemed to tell him that he was only receiving this treatment due to his Emperor of Old Bloodline, and they were provocatively looking at him to let him know that what they were doing now…was true Pill Refining that he might not even be able to match his entire life!
