System: Replicating The Heavens

"Mila, tomorrow's test... I'll take it!"

The middle-aged man pondered for a very long time and finally decided what he has to do. If Alex is really a genius of alchemy, then he'll do anything to bring Alex into the Alchemist Association, then be it if he has to go against Valerio Piroddi.

"What?" Mila could not believe what she had just heard. Does her father really want to appear personally for tomorrow's test?

"Go and prepare!" The middle-aged man didn't answer Milo again and sent her out of the room.

Milo was deep in thought as she left the room and walked away.

On the other hand, the middle-aged man who is Milo's father as well as the Vice President of this branch of Alchemist Association hurriedly took out a token from his spatial ring. This token was called a communication token that can send a person's voice to the holder of another same token in the area within a hundred thousand kilometers.

.....

Far in the east of the Middle Land, about five thousand miles away from the Profound Star Sect, a huge waterfall could be seen. This waterfall was called the Waterfall Of Tomorrow. There is a famous legend about this waterfall.

It is said that there existed a tribe that used to live on top of a huge mountain which is now the Waterfall of Tomorrow. This tribe doesn't have any name but the people of this tribe used to call themselves the keeper of "Tomorrow". Because of this, other people started calling this tribe the 'Tomorrow' Tribe.

This tribe was very famous, not because of their strength but because of a mysterious object that they were protecting for a very very long time. This stone was called 'Tomorrow' and the people of that tribe were its keeper. That's why they used to call themselves the Keeper of Tomorrow.

As for what exactly this stone was, it is said that "Tomorrow" has the power to make one travel in time and go to the future. How far they can go in the future depends on a person's individual strength.

But there are also limitations. A person can only stay about a year in the future. No matter what kind of treasure or object they obtain in the future, they can't bring it back to the present with them. Even if they die in the future, they'll wake up in the present time at that instant.

Nevertheless, the Stone of Tomorrow was well-known because of a secret technique hidden inside. It is said that when a person is traveling to the future and when that person comes back from the future, there'll come a moment when they'll get a chance to comprehend that secret technique. That secret technique can affect time and control time in some ways. This is a secret technique that anyone would fight for.

The Stone of Tomorrow was not known by others at first, however, a person from the Tribe of the Keepers betrayed them. That person wanted to monopolize the stone for himself, comprehend the secret technique that can affect time in some ways, and rule a huge territory instead of staying on top of a mountain for his lifetimes.

To achieve his goal, he spread the news about the Stone of Tomorrow everywhere, causing his entire tribe to fall into a perilous and precarious situation.

Although the tribe was the Keeper of "Tomorrow", they were not strong enough. They were cursed to never have a descendent who can cultivate past the Martial Emperor Stage. As for why and how they were cursed, it is not known to anyone.

The only way to break the curse was to comprehend the secret technique hidden inside the Stone of Tomorrow.

Because of this, the tribe has a rule. Every person above the age of twenty will get a chance to comprehend the secret technique hidden in the Stone of Tomorrow each year.

Fortunately, at that time, the leader of the tribe was using the Stone of Time to travel in the future with the hope of comprehending the secret technique. However, what he saw after traveling in the future is the disappearance of his entire tribe. This caused him to be stunned and an unknown fear rose in his heart. He went left the mountain and went to inquire about what happened and got to know the entire course of events.

This made the Leader of the Tribe very furious. He returned to the past and made a secret chamber where he hide the Stone of Time. After that, he used some unknown method to create a waterfall at the place where once their tribe was located.

It was after he was done with all these things that the many big powers suddenly arrived and attacked them. They were weak to begin with, they were unable to put up any fight and lost. The leader of the tribe and many other people were captured and interrogated, however, none of them opened their mouths.

This result made those big powers very furious and they annihilated the entire tribe of Tomorrow. After that, they searched everywhere for the Stone of Tomorrow but failed to find it. They never thought that the tribe had created a maze right below the waterfall. But this truth was forever lost with the annihilation of that tribe.

As for the betrayer, he was never seen after the news about Stone of Time was spread everywhere. He somehow disappeared. No one knows where he had gone to.

This story became a legend and that legend became the truth when the huge piece of land somehow shattered into three parts and separated from the True Essence Sky World. These three parts together are now called the Three Cultivation Lands. Because of the shattering, the maze located below the waterfall was discovered.

From that time onward, countless people entered the maze in order to find the Stone Of Tomorrow. However, no matter how they explored the maze, they failed to find their desired object.

Thus, many people started telling that the legend is fake. There exist no Stone of Tomorrow.

However, in the walls of that maze, the story about the tribe and how they use to protect the Stone Of Tomorrow is carved and could still be seen. This made many people believe that the Stone of Tomorrow exist. It is the truth. But no one is able to discover this stone because the leader of Tomorrow Tribe had created a restriction and only a worthy person could find the Stone of Tomorrow.

Well, Stone of Tomorrow is a legend but it still made the Waterfall of Tomorrow very famous.

Currently, below the Waterfall of Tomorrow, a group of people were standing at the entrance of the maze. They were standing inside a transparent barrier that stopped the water outside.

If anyone is to come here, they would be shocked to see these people. It is because this group of people was actually all higher-ups of the Alchemist Association branch located in the Profound Star City.

Their leader was an old man. This old man is the president of the Alchemist Association and is called James Canta. As for other people, they were all higher-ups of the Alchemist Association.

James was listening to a middle-aged man by his side when he felt something. He frowned and took out the communication token from his spatial ring and heard the message from the other side. The more he heard, the more surprised his expression became. After the message ended, he didn't say anything and just quietly kept the token back in the spatial ring.

"President, what happened?" The middle-aged lady asked with a curious expression. Everyone here had seen the change in their president's expression. So all of them were curious as to what the message said.

James smiled, pondered for a while, and then said: "Telling you might ruin the joy. You all will know after we return."

"James, don't do this!"

There were four people in this group. James and the middle-aged lady were two. Other than these two, there was another old man and a young man.

The above sentence was said by the old man who seemed to be the same age as James.

James shook his head and replied: "Just know that an interesting young man has appeared. If he really can do what he said, then we might have a chance to win the pill competition this time."

"Really?" x2.

This time, the middle-aged lady and the old man said together. The young man at the side also revealed a curious expression. He also wanted to know who that young man is. Thus, he said: "Master, can you tell me who that person is?"

James looked at his disciple with love in his eyes and replied: "Don't worry about that. We should first do the thing that we came here to do. Remember, we don't need to go deep into the maze. There are many dangers inside. We just have to find the Immortal Petals and leave this place!"

"Yes, master!"

The young man nodded his head and replied. He didn't reveal any expression on his face even though his master didn't answer his question. He just became more curious as to who that person is that actually made his master take interest in him.
