Chapter 2307 About the Tomb
Alex returned back to Aethersage the next morning, excited to hear about the Godkiller's tomb. He had heard so much about it from everyone, including Bai Jingshen, who had made it abundantly clear that it was the place he had to go to at least once in his life.
With the chances being that he was the man that Godkiller waited for, he had to go there. The tomb held something for him if everything he heard from Bai Jingshen was true.
Aethersage sighed upon seeing Alex. "Brother Dawnblade, you did not warn me how futile most of my effort was going to be with this blood," he said. "I've been trying the entire night and I'm barely getting anywhere at all."
Alex sat down before the man, looking down at the cauldron half filled with blood. Immediately, his eyes widened. The aura in the cauldron had begun getting both weaker and denser.
Meaning that it was breaking down from Divine Grade to Immortal Grade, and since it multiplied when that happened, the aura felt thick now. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"How did you do all this in just a day?" Alex asked. "I swear this would've taken me 3 days."
"Oh, I have an incredible Spiritual energy recovery technique that I can use to get back what I lost," Aethersage said "I use it when I am out of spiritual energy and just continue like nothing happened."
Alex looked at the man. "You have a Spiritual energy recovery technique? Such a thing even exists?" he asked.
Alex had seen pills, formations, and artifacts that did such a thing. But never had he known that there were techniques out there that could do such a thing as well.
"Oh, I do believe the technique is very rare," Aethersage said. "I got it... by some fortunate circumstances."
"I must say you are lucky then," Alex said. "When did you find it? Before becoming an Immortal or after?"
"Before," Aethersage said. "I believe I had just become a Saint around that time. I was quite lucky as I said."
"The tomb?" Aethersage asked before shrugging. It was clear that he had no interest in the tomb at all. "It's there, I guess."
"What's it like?" Alex asked.
"It's a large hexagonal building with a massive stone door, hanging large flags that—"
"No, not the aesthetics of the building. The inside," Alex asked.
Aethersage couldn't help but cock his head to the side when hearing that question. "Do you not know that one cannot go into the tomb?" he asked.
"Can't go into the tomb?" Alex asked. "Why not?"
"You just can't," Aethersage said. "The door just doesn't open. In over the hundred thousand years since the tomb has existed, it has never once opened for the public. It's always the outside, never the main building."
So you can't enter it?" Alex asked.
"No. You can't teleport in, break through walls, or do whatever nonsense that can be done to get inside," Aethersage said. "Trust me. I tried everything."
"I'll trust you," Alex said. There was no reason not to trust. Especially when the man told him everything.
Honestly, Alex was quite disappointed after hearing how lackluster everything sounded in the tomb, but that was because the main tomb itself wasn't opened. Surely the main tomb was so much better.
'But no one can enter it,' Alex thought. 'If I went there, could I?'
He would have to go to find out. "When is the next time it opens again?" he asked.
"900 years," Aethersage said. "There's a lot of time until then."
