Body Refinement Realm (2)

If such a technique was discovered by anyone, it would result in a massive disaster because it would concentrate far too much power in the hands of a single person.

"Gulp!" Alex gulped subconsciously; if this technique were discovered, Alex would be in big trouble. He was well aware that the consequences could be disastrous.

"No, I have to keep that technique a secret."

No one, not even his parents, should know about it; that would be preferable.

"Now that I've mastered this technique, it's time for me to become a cultivator."

Alex quickly closed his eyes and began circulating the non-dimensional god technique.

"Whoosh"

As tiny wisps of Qi began to enter Alex's body, the wind began to blow inside his room. Alex could feel the energy entering his body, and as it did, he began to feel slight pain.

His entire body felt like it was burning up as if it were surrounded by an invisible flame.

"Don't tell me, I'm still not cured." Alex's eyes widened with terror. Fear had taken control of his emotions, and he couldn't control them.

'No! I can't stop after all that training. He gritted his teeth and pushed through the pain as if it were just another stumbling block in his path.

He didn't want to be a cripple who couldn't cultivate any longer!

"Ahhh"

The QI in the air began to revolve around him. A small tornado began to form as if drawn to him, and Qi rushed into his body.

He felt an immense strength grow within him, and he was filled with newfound energy.

He focused again, closing his eyes and feeling the energy surrounding him. As he continued to cultivate, sweat was dripping down his face.

A cosmic-like aura erupted from Alex's body and began to cover his entire body. Alex felt the pain leave his body the moment it did. It was replaced by an unreal sense of energy and power.

Alex kept his eyes closed and focused on cultivating, unaware that a gleaming object shone in the center of his chest.

Alex didn't realize how much time had passed until a thunderous sound rang out in his room.

"Bang"

Alex felt a rush of energy rush through him as if an explosion had occurred inside his body.

He stopped absorbing the Qi in the air, and when he opened his eyes, they shone with a cosmic color that quickly faded.

"Is this the body refinement realm?" he asked in a low voice, slightly dazed.

He made a fist with both hands. He could tell his body was 10 times stronger than it had been.

He couldn't reach this realm even after many years of trying, but now he had. He couldn't believe it, but the notification in his head told him otherwise.

[Congratulations on reaching Body Refinement Realm Stage 1]

His status also changed; he smiled slightly. He had finally broken through and entered the realm of body refinement.

Alex was ready to leave his room, but he was interrupted by a foul odor.

"Sniff, sniff, what the hell is that smell coming from?" Alex's expression turned sour as he wrinkled his nose and noticed the pungent smell of decay lingering in the air.

While investigating the source of the stench, Alex discovered that he was covered in a dark, liquid-like substance that was oozing from his body. He grabbed a towel and wiped himself down, horrified that the sticky substance wouldn't come off.

"What the hell is that?"

[Don't worry, host; it's just impurities that have become lodged in your body.]

'Impurities?'

[Yes, host, every living being has impurities in their body initially, but as they cultivate and move up the realms, these impurities are removed.]

[You can see the results of removing impurities from your body by looking in the mirror.]

Alex decided to see for himself after hearing the system's response and approached a mirror.

[Oh, but before you look at yourself, you should probably take a bath.]

Alex took a bath to try to get rid of the black substance. He changed into black pants, a black shirt, and a dark robe with a golden dragon head design on the back. The design was pretty cool, as the Dracon clan is represented by this symbol.

After changing, Alex looked in the mirror and couldn't help but admire himself. After removing the impurities from his body, Alex's skin was smoother and brighter, giving him a better overall appearance His features had become sharper, and his black eyes brighter, adding to the overall attractiveness of his appearance.

His long black hair cascaded down his shoulders and framed his face, accentuating his sharp jawline.

Alex is now quite attractive. Prior to his training, Alex was regarded as having average looks; now, however, he is regarded as handsome, and his height has increased from 171 cm to 183 cm.

"Knock Knock"

Still complimenting himself in the mirror, a sudden knock was heard at the door.

Startled by the sound, Alex glanced away from his reflection as the sound of the maid coming out from behind the door came to him.

"Young master," the maid called out.

"Yes"

"Mrs. Alina has told me to call you to her residence; your father has come back to the clan."

"My father. Okay, you can go back and tell my mother that I will be coming, "

His father had a meeting with the other clans and had to leave the clan; as a result, Alex hadn't met him, and he had been so focused on his training that he had almost forgotten about him.

"Understood, young master," the maid said before leaving.

"My father has returned, huh? That's good timing.

I was getting bored staying in my room; I was just about to leave," Alex grumbled quietly before leaving his room.

To Be Continued...
