Gratitude

Shen Jing suddenly stopped flying and Alex had to stop too. 

"So tell me," Shen Jing asked. "Do you want to become stronger right now? Or do you want a better chance at entering the Immortal realm?" 

Alex's head was reeling with this new information.

Immortal realm? He had never even thought about reaching that realm before. Even Saint realm was something out of reach for him.

Sure, he had thought that he would reach those realms for sure in the back of his head, but he had never given it more thought than that.

However, when he was suddenly put forth with this question out of nowhere, he didn't know what to say.

Sure, getting stronger right now would be awesome, but if that hampered him in the long term, he wouldn't like that at all.

'Where I am right now isn't my final destination. I need to keep moving forward and reach new heights,' he thought.
