Chapter 2108 Alex's Closed Cultivation
Alex's daily life was now a cycle of just a few things he repeated one after another.
He had made enough pills to cultivate for an entire year, so he focused entirely on cultivating when he ate one of the pills. Cultivation would consume nearly a week of his time before he came to a stop.
When he stopped, his body would be in such a state that he couldn't cultivate any more. His meridians needed rest before he could cultivate once again, so Alex used this time to body cultivate instead. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
With the Mountain Crushing artifact and the tons of Spirit stones he had earned, he could use the Mountain Crushing artifact for days in a row to strengthen his body.
Thanks to this, his body was improving rapidly at a nice pace, leaving him with a body that was close to Immortal Ascendant 5th realm by the end of a year.
Considering that he had started from nowhere, this was an incredible position to reach.
After he was done body cultivating, Alex focused on 3 of the other things he could. He started with his Demon Eyes since they were the ones he needed to spend most to improve.
He cultivated his Undying Physique next and was the thing he cultivated the least as at the moment, this was the least important thing to him.
The last thing he cultivated was his Spiritual energy. With the high-quality Spirit Junction pill, his Spiritual Conjunction technique was showing a lot more efficacy in improving his Spiritual energy.
With just a year of cultivation, Alex found that his Spiritual strength had reached close to the end of the Immortal Ascendant 6th realm. Just a few months more and he could reach Immortal Ascendant 7th realm.
Compared to his body, mind, and Qi, Alex's blood aura showed little to no improvement at all. The only improvement it did make was when he made regular improvements to his cultivation base, but that was to be expected.
And that improvement too was very tiny in comparison because he had already begun with a stronger blood aura. So his cultivation base needed to catch up before he saw any significant improvement.
Alex tested Pearl in a fight and was surprised to see how much stronger he had gotten. It wasn't just strength either; Pearl had become seemingly more aggressive in his fights, making the battle feel more real than it was.
When asked, he gave the explanation the old man had given him.
Alex nodded with an amused look, understanding that Pearl was in fact correct. Or rather, the old man was correct. He needed to fight battles closer rather than afar.
Once Pearl and the others left, he focused back on his cultivation, spending another year total on it. He improved significantly in this time and was so very close to having his eyes reach the third stage. He just needed some more time. After focusing on his eyes a bit more around that time, Alex managed to push through that breakthrough, and in no more than 5 months, he reached the next stage of the Demon Eyes.
He was now capable of seeing Space and Time aura easily.
Alex activated his eyes, which glowed bright purple and looked at the surroundings. There was nothing different to his eyes just yet, but when he used his Space Dao to twist the space around him a little, he saw the silver folds of color that converged around the twisting space.
He looked at the folding space for a while and let his Dao go. The space snapped back to normal, leaving behind a whiff of silver color in the air that dissipated a moment later.
His eyes had indeed worked. He could see space as clearly as he could with his senses. Perhaps even better so. He didn't have to send out his spiritual sense into the distance to see if there was some spatial anomaly around him.
He brought out the Standing Pendulum next and began using it. Immediately, he saw a purple color emanate from the box, seemingly different in intensity each time the pendulum swung back. It changed constantly, which Alex knew was the case in reality.
'I can see it change at the same time as I feel it,' he thought. That was going to make it a lot easier to recognize the time aura and understand the minute differences between them.
Alex closed his eyes as they started burning slightly. Perhaps because he had only just reached this stage, he couldn't use his eyes actively for a long period of time. He would need to use it a bunch of times and still continue to cultivate it if he wanted to be able to use it for a longer time. Still, since he had reached the third stage, he could slow down on training his eyes.
And with the extra time he would have without having to train his eyes, he could learn time aura from the artifact.
That would be an excellent use of his free time.
