Chapter 2101 Vetting

Alex arrived back in the Blue Silk sect, this time intending to stay for a more or less permanent measure. At least, until it was time for him to leave this realm and go to another one.

He set up his cave, which he had left alone for more than a month now, and went to meet up with Sunheart. He needed to talk to her partly to let her know what he planned on doing next and partly to have her contact the sect master and let him know that he needed to talk with him.

The sect master was free 2 days later and Alex went to meet him.

"Young Dawnblade, how is it that each time I see you, it is because you have managed to do something shocking," the man asked, a wide smile visible on his face as he spoke. "What did I do this time?" Alex asked. "Is it about my alchemy duel?"

"Of course," Thunderspine replied. "99%. I didn't expect you to be able to make such a great pill. Have you already become a Supreme Alchemist by now? That was one of the requirements I gave you for those tickets, right?"

"It was, sect master," Alex said. "But I haven't become a Supreme Alchemist just yet. I need 3 approvals to take the test to become one, and Elder Liang has yet to give me one." for new novels

"Hmm? Why Elder Liang?" Thunderspine asked. "You can go to anyone else now, I believe."

"Yes, but I want Elder Liang to approve me. With his talent, he will be the best at assessing if I'm good enough or not."

Thunderspine nodded affirmatively. "I see. I see. Anyway, what was it that you wanted to see me for? I assumed it was for a ticket, but Sunheart said it was something that couldn't wait for too long."

"I did need to talk to you as soon as I could," Alex said and explained everything he needed.

Thunderspine listened to it all and was surprised to hear that someone from Medicine World was trying to take Alex there. "You did right to come to me. These two sound very suspicious. They just happened to find you in time to take you to some tournament I have never heard about yet. I wouldn't trust them on their words alone. I will need to meet them and find more out about them."

"Have you not heard about the tournament? It sounds big," Alex said. "I have not," Thunderspine said. "But then, I am also not in the circle where I could hear it. Did you say it was announced 50 years ago? That is unfortunately a very short time for news to travel around the Immortal world."

For a room full of Divinities to be caught off-guard, the man had to be very special.

They sensed no cultivation base from the man, no aura of any sort. What they did sense was a twisted form of killing intent; not one that he actively used, but rather one that simply lingered around him as though that was his natural state.

They couldn't imagine how many people one had to kill to reach this level.

"I see you have been caught off guard by Brother Grimsight. I will let you take a moment to reorganize yourselves," Silvermist said. Only then did the Divinities realize that they hadn't spoken at all.

"Welcome, Daoist Silvermist and... Daoist Grimsight." Thunderspine wasn't sure if the latter one could be considered a Daoist. Was he even a cultivator at all? "Grimsight can be considered one," Silvermist answered as if to quell everyone's curiosity. "He is quite a skilled one at that."

Thunderspine nodded. "Brother Silvermist. I hear you are a Peerless Alchemist from the Medicine World. Is that correct?"

"That is indeed correct. I am—"

Silvermist's words were cut off by a sudden gasp. Everyone's eyes turned toward the noise, which came from the silent Crimsonsky. Crimsonsky's eyes were wide in shock, staring directly at Grimsight.

"You... you are senior Spearheaven, aren't you?" Crimsonsky asked.

The single sentence caused the faces of every Divinity in the room to change at once. Everyone turned back to Grimsight, expecting an answer.

Grimsight grimaced a little. "I go by Grimsight now," the man said.

"How can this be?" Thunderspine asked. "Senior Spearheaven was supposed to have died in the war. How can you still be alive?" The shock in his voice was resonant with every other person in the room. Not a single one could've hidden it from their voice were they to ask the same question again.

"I didn't die," Grimsight answered. "I merely... wanted a different life than the one I led before."

No one there could truly understand the meaning behind his words. They weren't in his shoes, so they had no way of understanding how such an illustrious man as him could want to change his life.
