Chapter 2119 Something Similar

Alex wondered why he painted a mountain. He didn't exactly know why he got that feeling either. All he knew was that the feeling he got was one of a large boulder or a mountain.

Something heavy.

He took a deep breath as he moved the brush away. The painting had been quick, but he had used a bit of his spiritual energy when making it.

He had made the painting with Intent after all. That was the best way to attune one's Intent into something so abstract.

Alex looked at his own painting, feeling somewhat surreal. He understood why he drew a mountain, but he felt there was more to it than just its significance.

It was not just the weight alone, was it?

Something irked him at the back of his mind that he couldn't put his finger on. 'What is going on?' he wondered.

He had planned to make a single painting, as he would need to recoup the Spiritual energy he lost while making it. He couldn't take too long to regather it after all since there wasn't much time.

'But there is something there,' he thought. He wanted to learn more.

Alex swapped the canvas for a blank one and took a moment to read into the aura of the pressure that was on him. He let his mind figure out what sort of emotion was evoked because of that aura.

'Mountain... land...'

Alex was going to tire himself out for no reason at all by staying there.

Elder Shang decided to pay close attention to him and maybe even shut down the entire stairway should he be in some sort of danger. After all, he was the most talented disciple their sect had ever seen. And what good was a talent if you couldn't nurture it until it flourished?

The sun went down and the two moons rose high into the sky, independent of each other.

Many other people gave up at that time and gathered at the peak, crossed-legged and cultivating already. Meanwhile, Alex still remained close-eyed, seemingly cultivating as well. But Elder Shang didn't notice the movement of Qi so she didn't believe he was cultivating.

In that case, had he somehow fallen into a trance?

Alex showed absolutely no movement the entire night at all. Even as the horizon started gaining its purple hue, he was still on the same step, with his eyes closed.

Elder Shang needed to make a decision soon as to whether or not to shut down the stairway's formation as the test was coming to an end. It also cost a bit to keep the stairway running, so she couldn't keep it running forever anyway.

'Just half a day more,' she thought. 'I'll give him half a day. If he doesn't continue or give up by then, then I will—"

Her thoughts wavered a little when she felt a subtle change in the air. It wasn't just her, everyone around her noticed it, including the many Immortals. They all felt the stir in the atmosphere and looked toward the sky as they felt energy gather around there.

Then, the energy descended, carrying with them Worldly laws.

Elder Shang's eyes widened in blatant shock. 'Is that what he was doing this entire time?' she thought to herself, completely stunned as she watched the Worldly energy fall onto Alex.

'He was learning a Dao?'n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
