Chapter 2124 Information on the Tomb
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.
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.
