"Hmm…"
Alex read through the list, seeing many that weren\'t just difficult, but outright impossible to complete as he was right now.
Even in a hundred years, it would be difficult to complete these conditions. But unfortunately, that was the sect master\'s intention. He wasn\'t going to hand over it all to Alex for nothing after all. He had said he was going to make him work for it, and it appeared he was. There were 30 requirements written in total, but Alex didn\'t have the time to complete all of those. He wanted— no, needed to leave as quickly as possible. For that, he needed 3 tickets at the very least.
Looking through the list, he saw 1 ticket he could get right now. He didn\'t know the requirements to become a Supreme Immortal Alchemist just yet, but he was certain he could get it easily.
There was also the one with the Sword Domain, but it said \'Master\' and not \'Learn\'. Could he show him his Sword Domain and get 2 tickets? Would that work? Alex didn\'t believe he had mastered it just yet, so perhaps not.
The stairway one looked doable, but it needed some time. There were ones where he had to go around the continent and gather various rare ingredients that only grew in those locations. That also took a lot of time.
"When is this Newbie Competition?" Alex asked.
"In 63 years," the sect master said. "It takes place once every century and the last one was nearly 4 decades ago."
"63?" Alex asked with an awkward smile on his face. That was not happening anytime soon either it seemed. \'Alright, I can reach Immortal Ascendant 5th realm, become a Supreme Immortal Alchemist, and if all goes well, I can do well in the stairway too,\' he thought. It wasn\'t pretty, but he saw a pathway ahead.
"Are you okay with these conditions?" the sect master asked after letting him check the talisman for a while. "You can let me know if you want anything changed."
Alex thought for a bit and nodded. "I wanted to ask why you have put Sword Domain as something to master and not just learn. Is learning it alone not enough?\' he asked.
"That\'s because it doesn\'t take too long to master Sword Domain after learning it. Just a few decades at most, so there\'s really no point in having it be two separate things," the sect master said.
Alex was surprised. Did that mean he had mastered it already? Even if he hadn\'t, he had to be close to mastering it completely then. That was good news.
That was another few tickets down the line that was pretty much confirmed for him. At this point, he didn\'t even have to think about the other ones, especially the ones that asked him to reach the Supreme rank in formation, talisman, and artifacts.
As much as he didn\'t want to, he had to stop learning anything regarding other professions so he could focus on being an Alchemist first and a physician second.
Everything else was non-essential until he found his family. "I understand," Alex said. "I accept these conditions."
The sect master smiled.
Alex spoke the oath that the sect master wanted him to. In the next 2500 years, whether he found his family or not, he would begin making his way back to the sect.
He didn\'t have to come back to the sect right away, but everything he did, had to be in order to return to the sect.
It was an oath that was firm in some places and flexible in others. It gave Alex enough wiggle room that he honestly didn\'t mind having that oath on him.
When he made the oath, he felt the oath settle itself onto his Soul. He was taken aback by the feeling. He had made oaths before, but it had never been one that stuck around, so he hadn\'t realized. But now that he did make such an oath, he felt where its presence settled.
In fact, he could even feel the bindings of the oath itself, and how it wrapped around his soul. It was almost something he could touch. Perhaps, once his soul was stronger, he could touch it.
"We are done," the sect master said. "Good luck on getting those tickets and finding your family."
"Thank you, sect master."
Now that everything was done, it was time for Alex to leave the sect.
He returned to the Sunheart Peak to let Elder Sunheart of his intentions. "You\'re leaving already? But why? You should stay and learn here. There are so many facilities here, all for you to use freely. You won\'t find these things out there," she said.
She was correct, and Alex would be remiss to not make use of them when he was getting to. But his store mattered more to him at the moment.
"I\'m still new to the Immortal world, Elder Sunheart. I do not want to spend my time holed up in a cave, not knowing how the real world works. I wish to spend some time in the real world and gain some common sense for this world. Maybe in a few years when I feel like I\'ve learned enough, I\'ll return."
Sunheart was a little disappointed to let him go, but what else could she do? He had the authority from the sect master himself to go and come as he pleased. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Once that was done, Alex returned to his cave. He needed to change his dress and close the cave\'s opening, so no one else could enter and ruin things. Being an uninhabited mountain for a long while, there were many beasts around this place that would easily come there and mess with his place. Taking care of where one stayed was one of the requirements of the sect, and he couldn\'t afford to break that rule even when he was out of it. Alex finally left for the teleportation formation that could directly send him to any of the headquarters of the Blue Silk sect around the continent. He chose the one in Newsky City.
Alex was teleported to a teleportation platform in the Newsky city after a few minutes. The people working there were aware of where the teleportation had been received from, so they were more than surprised when a weakling like Alex appeared on it.
Alex ignored the gazes and walked out of the place. Just nearby it was the giant black tower that stood like a monolith for everyone to see.
He couldn\'t help but smile when looking at it.
It was just a week ago that he had gathered here to go to the Blue Silk sect, and now, he was a member of the sect and one that was treated quite well too.
Life wasn\'t so bad right now.
