Chapter 2308 The Tickets
He had more than enough time.
"I hear entering the Godkiller\'s tomb needs some sort of token?" Alex asked.
"Yes, you need to find the ticket," Aethersage said. "How does one find it?" Alex asked.
Aethersage shrugged. "I don\'t know if there is a way to find it. You just have to get lucky. There are only a few thousand of them in total and every time you use it, it apparently gets spread throughout the entire world. So you have to be one of the lucky few to find it."
"Is that so? What does it look like?" Alex asked.
Aethersage shook his head. "You can\'t really tell," he said. "The ticket isn\'t some paper or metal slip. It can be, but most of the tickets are artifacts. From what I hear, the Sage of Ten Thousand Treasures made artifacts that doubled as tickets and spread it all around. And every 500 years, it accumulates energy from where it is and calls for people to get it."
"So in about 400 years, if there is a ticket near you it will let you know," Aethersage said.
"Oh. And it is anywhere? Or just the 18 Immortal worlds?" Alex asked.
"Not 18, 33," Aethersage said. "The Godkiller made no distinction between humans, demons, or beasts. Although, I guess it\'s more like 30 Immortal worlds since the last 3 don\'t count."
Alex nodded. "So it all comes down to luck, huh? I hope I can be around one then," he said.
"Or… you steal it from someone else," Aethersage said with a mischievous smile on his face. "When you arrive before the tomb and wait for its opening, as it is about to open, it awakens the tickets once again. So if you are there, it will show that you have it. In this case, you either have to quickly rush into the tomb or become the victim of someone stronger and lose your ticket. If you really want to enter, stealing is a valid way too."
"Is it now?" Alex asked with a chuckle. "How did you survive by the way? You aren\'t that strong from what I can tell."
"Oh, that\'s another thing entirely. Days before the tomb was to open, I was already scouted by my master and that elder from your master\'s guild. So I had people that could protect me."
"Ah! That makes sense," Alex said. "I guess if I am not around one when it awakens, I will just steal it."
"Yes," Aethersage said. "Oh, actually. You can also find ones that are already awakened."
"Already awakened?" Alex asked.
"Yeah, the tickets that are awakened when no one was around wouldn\'t have been found. Those artifacts don\'t awaken again, so they are usually left alone if people miss them. So, if you happen to find the Godkiller\'s treasures in remote locations, you are lucky."
Alex slowly nodded. "So I have to scour the deep reaches of every Immortal world, is that it?" he asked.
Aethersage shrugged. "If you miss the half-life awakening as they call it, then yes."
Alex nodded. "I see. Thank you for your explanation, brother Aethersage. It has been tremendously helpful."
"No problem," Aethersage said. "If in 400 years, you somehow do miss the awakening, you can reach out to me. I… have a special way to find such missing treasures."
"Formations?" Alex asked.
"No. Something much more special," Aethersage said. "Maybe I\'ll tell you about it sometime in the future."
Alex nodded. "I\'ll await for that day then," he said and stood up to leave. "Take your time with the blood, brother Aethersage. We won\'t be leaving here for another 2 months or more anyway. And I have something important to do during the next week."
"Okay," Aethersage said, focusing back on the blood before him.
Alex made his way out of Aethersage\'s room and made his way to his own room where he made some pills before cultivating. Between making pills and improving his cultivation base, a week passed. Alex finally walked out of his room and made his way to check on Momo who was more or less independent now that he had taught her most things.
He still had to wait for her to reach the Saint realm before he could teach her anything more important.
Momo was in her room, making some sort of pill. Alex didn\'t interrupt her and instead just sat in front of the cauldron, waiting for her to be done with it. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The large Triple-Tongued Dragon Lizard was perched on her right shoulder, its green and blue striped tail wrapped onto her other shoulder. It looked toward Alex without enough intelligence to know that it was before someone both strong and important.
Its cultivation base lagged a little behind Momo\'s as it wasn\'t as talented. But thanks to the pills she made for it, it wasn\'t that far off.
While Momo was in the True King realm, the lizard was in the True Lord realm. It stuck out its tongue like all reptiles did, a tongue that was split 3 ways and was nearly half its body in length.
Alex reached out his hand and the lizard jumped onto it without hesitation, climbing on top to stay by his shoulders.
Alex looked at the lizard for a few seconds with keen senses before sighing. "This won\'t do, Moss," he said. "You need to control your poison better. You can\'t have it leak this easily from your skin."
The lizard seemed scared for a moment but then it nodded. Alex scratched the underside of the lizard\'s jaw, which it seemed to really like. The cauldron finally opened up and the pills flew out, landing in Momo\'s hands. "Finally!" she said with a bit of a sigh. "That was hard."
