Chapter 2011 Requirements
Alex didn\'t prod any further. He had gotten enough information for now. It was time to return. "Oh right, which moon did he go to?" he asked. There were two moons after all. One that was native to this world, and one that could be apparently seen from every world. He guessed which moon it was, but it was still better to ask.
Sunheart chuckled. "There\'s only one moon you can fly to. The other one, the one all the worlds call the True Moon, is one I don\'t think you can even reach at all. It\'s just too far away. I don\'t believe anyone has ever made it to that moon."
"It\'s that far away?" he asked.
"Very much so," the woman said. "There are people that say that the moon is further away than the sun even. I don\'t know if that is true though."
"How far away is the sun?" Alex asked.
"So far away that people have died going toward it and they didn\'t even make it halfway there," she said. "Honestly, the problem with going toward the sun isn\'t just the distance, but also the sheer heat and destruction that flows out of it. The closer you go, the more dangerous it becomes. There should be no one alive at the moment that could go to the sun."
"What about the other moon?" Alex asked. "The True Moon. Since the sun\'s rays can\'t hit you that far, wouldn\'t that make it safer?"
"Yes, but the issue you have is still with the distance."
"What about teleporting?" Alex asked. "Couldn\'t you just teleport there if distance is the issue?"
Sunheart laughed and shook her head. "I don\'t think you understand how far away the True Moon is. You could line up all the distance between every single world out there and still not reach the moon. There is no amount of power in this world or any world that can get you to teleport that far away."
"To teleport to that distance, you would… I don\'t know, you would need a Space stone the size of a mountain I suppose. Good luck finding that anywhere."
Alex sucked in cold air hearing that. A space stone the size of a human head had given him a Soul Space as large as an entire realm, perhaps even more so. How large would it grow if he could find one that was the size of a mountain?
"I… see," Alex said. "Thank you for explaining this all to me, Elder Sunheart."
"That is my job. Do not hesitate to ask me if you have more questions. I will answer every single one of them."
Alex thanked the woman and returned to his cave where he sat and mulled over the knowledge he had gained today. Two things were very clear after today.
First, people visited outer space on a regular basis, mostly to train.
Second, the world was vast. He had always known it was vast, but the vastness he was learning now was simply too vast for his mind to comprehend.
Alex had asked the Immortals back at home how long it took to travel between realms. The answer he had received at the time was that even a low-level Divine realm cultivator would take dozens of years to reach the other place, even when they flew at their quickest speed. And now, Alex learned that speed alone could not help them. They needed to keep away from the sun as well, so a flying boat was more than needed. Still, a dozen or so years to reach the closest world was a long time. Not to mention, the closest world wasn\'t even necessarily an Immortal world. It could be one of the lesser worlds. Maybe there were benefits to traveling without using the teleportation formations that Alex wasn\'t aware of, but as it stood, if you weren\'t being actively stopped from using those formations, he didn\'t see why you shouldn\'t.
Alex went back to cultivating not long after, as that was the only thing he could do while waiting for the sect master to finish thinking of the conditions.
Alex got a message on his nameplate a day later that the sect master was finally ready. He was called to the Thunderspine Peak where the sect master stayed.
Alex arrived there as soon as he could and was surprised to see a beautiful lake in a valley between the mountains. He hadn\'t expected such a thing to exist in this vast mountain range.
There were also many disciples living on the mountain, which surprised Alex since the sect master wasn\'t someone they could be under. He wondered why they were there.
Alex found the sect master\'s residence at the peak of the mountain, where a few elders were already present. Elder Shang was there as well and seemed to be waiting for him to arrive.
"You\'re here," she said. "The sect master is waiting for you." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Alex walked into the building, which was quite crude from his perspective. It was a house built to fulfill the bare minimum requirement of housing someone. It looked as though the sect master was forced to make one and he couldn\'t be bothered to make it look good.
He arrived in a room where the sect master sat alone, appearing bored. "Finally!" he said after seeing Alex and seemed more excited. "Come and check these conditions I\'ve come up with. See if you find them agreeable."
The sect master tossed a talisman his way and Alex caught it.
He sat down on the seat before him and looked through the talisman. To his absolute surprise, there were 30 different requirements written in the talisman. On top of that, from what he could see, some of them even gave him multiple tickets to be used for the Teleportation formation.
Alex read through the requirements, seeing each one and judging its difficulty.
Reach the Immortal Ascendant 5th realm - 1 Ticket
Enter Top 16 in the Inter-sect Newbie Competition - 1 Ticket
Become a Supreme Immortal Alchemist - 1 Ticket
Enter Top 15000 ranking in the sect - 1 Ticket
Reach 16000 steps in the First Mountain\'s Stairway - 1 Ticket
The requirements were harsh, but fair at the same time. He needed to do the work if he wanted to get the tickets after all. Given how much it cost the sect to give him a ticket alone, these harsh requirements were more than welcome in Alex\'s eyes.
And then there were the even harsher ones.
