Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
chapter-2124

Alex had nearly burst out with his surprise but thankfully managed to keep it all within him. Pearl seemed surprised by the information as well. Despite how long they had been together, it seemed the information hadn't been brought up just yet in his presence either.

'Godkiller's Tomb?' Alex thought. 'Why would he have a tomb? He didn't die. He left this world with Bai Jingshen and the Divination god. How could he have a tomb?'

Silvermist continued talking as though he hadn't said the most absurd thing Alex had ever heard. "Was that disciple good in Alchemy?" he asked Snowleaf.

"Not great at the moment, but a lot of talent. I swear, senior brother, we could make him a Prime Alchemist in just a millennia from scratch. He might not end up winning the tournament, but I fear he might be exactly the sort of person the Alchemy God was searching for."

Silvermist grunted. "Damn, Wineweed. I can't believe he found a ticket to the tomb as well," he said

Snowleaf nodded. "I hear he paid a lot to get that ticket, but I can't guarantee."

Silvermist grumbled. "The next time, I'm going to go," he declared.

"Master," Alex called, finally finding the time to speak. "What… is this Tomb you're talking about?"

"It's nothing important to you right now," Silvermist said. "It's just some godlike figure from the past who died and left behind an inheritance. Every 1000 years, his tomb opens up and people can go inside to see what treasure they can find, and see if they can be the Godkiller's Inheritor."

Alex nodded with no outward emotion, but on the inside, his heart was racing wildly.

'This is it,' he thought. 'This is absolutely it.'

Bai Jingshen had always mentioned an inheritance from his master that was somewhere in the Immortal world. He had mentioned that he believed that Alex was most likely the one that the Godkiller had been waiting for.

The one he would impart the Truth to. This was where he had to go.

"Where is this place? This tomb," Alex asked.

"In the Three Jewel world," Snowleaf answered.

"Three Jewel World?" Alex asked, quickly going through his mental map of the Immortal lands.

The Three Jewel land was unfortunately in the exact opposite direction of where he was going. He could reach there in 2 teleportation from the Myriad Spirit World, while it would take 3 teleportation to go to the Sky God's Palace.

There were 5 total teleportations between the two lands.

That was such a long distance away. Would he make it there in time ever?

"I'm sorry, how often did you say it opened, master?" Alex asked.

"A thousand years," Silvermist answered.

Alex felt slightly relieved. He had plenty of time it seemed. No need to hurry.

'I can make it to all the places in time,' Alex thought, feeling relieved. He could go to the Sky God's Palace then back to the Blue Silk sect and then to the Three Jewel world in time should he find his family.

"I need tickets. Can I purchase it or how does that work?" Alex asked.

"The tickets get taken away when you enter the tomb. Then it gets randomly distributed throughout the entire world, into every Immortal realm. If you are lucky, you get one. If you are even more lucky, you find someone who is willing to sell. You have to be very rich for that though."

"For now, forget about the tomb and focus on your cultivation and alchemy studies," Snowleaf said. "Try to impress the Alchemy God and maybe you will get a lot of good things. At least that is more of a guarantee than whatever you could possibly hope to find from the tomb."

Alex didn't argue with Snowleaf and simply nodded.

"Anyway, let's forget about the tomb," Silvermist said. "Disciple, are you ready to leave?"

"More or less," Alex said. "Are we leaving soon?"

"In 2 months," Silvermist said. "Go prepare for departure."

Alex's eyes widened. "In 2 months?" he asked. "Really?"

He knew he would have to leave soon, but not this soon. How was he supposed to leave right away? He hadn't become a Supreme Alchemist yet.

"Is there a problem?" Snowleaf asked.

"A small one," Alex said. "I'm trying to be a Supreme Alchemist, and I might need a little more time than that."

"Oh. I'm sorry, but you don't have that time," Silvermist said. "The Inter-realm Teleportation formation to the Eclipsing Heaven realm will be used in 2 months. We will have to be in the Rosesteel Continent by then."

"What about the Divine Sanctuary realm?" Alex asked.

"Missed it by a year," Silvermist said. "We asked. It won't be used for another 9 years, and I'm not willing to wait for that long."

Alex grimaced.

Silvermist thought for a moment. "If becoming a Supreme Alchemist here is that important to you, we can delay our departure until you are done with it. However, at that point, we will have to use our direct teleportation talisman to go to Medicine World. We cannot take any detours like you suggested."

"No," Alex said quickly. 'No. We will go to the Eclipsing Heaven in 2 months. I won't miss it for the world."

Becoming a Supreme Immortal Alchemist was important, but not as important as finding his family. He would rather be a nameless, worthless Alchemist if it meant he found his family.

Still, it just didn't sit right with him that he couldn't be a Supreme Alchemist. It was a matter of pride that he couldn't simply push away.

No. One way or another, he was going to become a Supreme Alchemist. It wasn't as though he had to leave right away either. He had time.

'2 months, huh?' he thought. He was close to reaching the requirement set for him by Prime Alchemist Liang. So once he reached it, he could get approved for the test and finally take the test.

That meant for the next few weeks, he had to work as hard as he could.
