A Few Years Later

There was nothing left for Alex to divert his attention to for the next few years. He had learned all he could, and what he couldn't, there was no way for him to learn.

As such, he decided to focus his time and energy on his own cultivation base, improving himself.

The very year after he started that, he reached the 2nd realm of the Saint Soul realm. Three years after that, he reached the 3rd realm of the Saint Soul realm.

His physical body barely lagged behind him as well, reaching Saint Soul's 1st realm by that time. While it was nowhere near his own cultivation base in terms of its strength, the level it had reached was still quite amazing.

Alas, he had ended up using up his reserve of Saint spirit stones with barely any remaining. Fortunately, however, nearly 13 years had passed since he had been in the Eastern Continent and the Golden auction was up in about a year, having repeated from the last 10 years.
