Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Alex sat in a room with just the sect master of the Blue Silk sect, as the two of them alone were going to decide what they were to do now.

“I have thought of a few conditions to allow you to join the sect while also letting you leave. Let’s see if you like this by any chance,” the old man said.

Alex nodded. “Go ahead, senior.”

“First, I know that you want to find your family quickly, but I cannot allow you to stay out of the sect for too long. Honestly, I would rather you stay here for a few thousand years to train and then go search for them, but I doubt you will listen to that.”

“That I won’t,” Alex said. “My first priority is to go find my family. Everything else comes second.”

“I understand. So, instead of forcing you to stay, I will force you to return,” the man said. “The condition I propose is that for the next 2500 years, you are free to do what you want, whether you want to stay in the sect or go roam outside, it is up to you.”

Alex nodded slowly. He was curious what the condition was.

“But if in that 2500 years, you do not find your family, you must return here to be in the sect. You can later leave once again when you are strong enough,” the man said. “Do you agree to this condition?”

Alex didn’t answer immediately and instead thought about the time period he was given. 2500 years was a long time, certainly, but to cultivators, it was supposed to be short. Soon enough, he would see centuries as nothing but a blink of an eye, surely.

‘2500 years,’ he thought. ‘The teleportation formations activate every 10 years. And how many times do I have to use them? A total of 3?’

Under Alex’s current planned journey, he had to go to the Divine Sanctuary Realm then to the Spirit Blossom Realm, and finally to the Sky God’s palace.

While it was true that his family could be in any of the other 16 Human Immortal realms, or even the 9 Demon realms, as long as he made it to the Sky God’s realm, he could request the Sky God to aid him in looking for them in the other worlds.

Given that the Sky God was one of the self-proclaimed gods with a massive influence, she would have a much easier time searching for people in the other realms.

As for whether she would do that or not, Alex had no doubt she would. Ronron had the Sky God’s physique so that alone would prompt her to make the move. If not, he had things in his Soul Space he could use in exchange for her help.

‘3 different realms in 2500 years,’ Alex thought. ‘That’s more than Doable.’

He didn’t doubt that it would be enough time. In fact, if this man before him could give him just enough resources to teleport 3 times, it would be enough for Alex to get what he wanted. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

“What if at the end of the 2500 years, I am in a different world? Will I be in trouble?” he asked.

“No, you will simply need to start making your way back at that point,” the man answered. “I will not force you to be in trouble for something you might not have any control of. But I will force you to start making attempts at coming back. At least have the intention to do so.”

“Will I be swearing an oath then?” Alex asked.

“I would rather if you did,” the man said.

Alex nodded slowly. “I can accept that condition,” he said. “What are the other conditions.”

“The other conditions apply to the tickets that you will need to pay for your teleportation,” the man said. “I cannot just give it to you. You must earn it.”

“Earn it?” Alex asked. “How… do I earn it?”

“Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to find the resources yourself,” the old man said. “I’m simply asking you to achieve a few milestones in order for us to feel comfortable sponsoring this trip of yours.”

Alex gave that some thought. “May I ask what sort of milestones there will be?” he asked.

“The one I can think of right away is for you to break through to Immortal Ascendant 5th realm. I do not feel comfortable letting you go to the other worlds while you’re so weak, so if you can reach that cultivation realm, I will hand over the first ticket.”

‘Immortal Ascendant 5th realm…’ Alex thought. That would take him about a hundred years even if he was working slowly. If he sped up, he was certain he could do it much earlier. Maybe even in the next 30 years. He was already close to entering the next realm, so that was more than doable.

“What about the other missions?” Alex asked. “Will they be similarly doable?” “I won’t make it difficult for you, but I will have you do your best. Your talent is something rarely seen from a regular cultivator, and I will push you to your limit with the requirements,” the old man said. “I will need some time to come up with the rest of the requirements, so give me some time with that.”

“As long as the requirements are fair and don’t ask me to do the impossible, I will more than accept these conditions too, senior,” Alex said.

“If you accept these conditions, then you agree to be a disciple of our sect, do you not?” the old man asked.

Alex took a deep breath and nodded. “I do, senior,” he said.

The old man smiled. “I’m not just a senior now. I’m the sect master,” he said with a bright look on his face.

Alex smiled back. “Yes, sect master. I am honored to be a disciple of the Blue Silk sect.”

The old man nodded with a satisfactory look on his face. “Elder Shang will take care of integrating you into the sect. I will tell her and the others the condition, so feel free to use your freedom as much as you can.”

Alex nodded.

He walked out of the room and was met with Elder Shang who walked toward him. They were still in the courtyard, but most of the elders seemed to have been gone already.

“I’m happy you chose to join, young man,” she said.

“The pleasure is all mine, Elder Shang,” he said.

“Come, let me add you to the sect register.” The woman turned around and walked away. Alex followed her, walking out of the courtyard to go to another building that was right next to it.

This one was a bit smaller but seemed to be surrounded by formidable formations that covered the entire thing.

As they entered, Alex was surprised to see that the building was just stories of open shelves, each one filled with all sorts of stone tablets. Alex looked around, confused as to what they were. A lot of them seemed to be giving off some sort of dull aura, while many were completely inert of any and all aura.

Just what sort of place had he come to?
