Alex needed to wait for Pearl's return with a confirmation before he went back to the Central Continent. So he spent his waiting time cultivating.
He cultivated his Qi and his body. There wasn't much he could do to improve his Spiritual energy or his Blood aura, so he ignored those. And since he had only just broken through to the Saint Transformation 2nd realm, there wasn't much he could do to cultivate his Qi either.
So, Alex focused on cultivating his body instead.
He cultivated the Undying God's physique and the Demon Eyes while also cultivating his body.
Alex wasn't aware how long he had before the Demon Eyes reached the next stage, but he was certain his Undying God's Body was reaching the 3rd stage in the near future.
As for body cultivation itself, Alex didn't put up any excuses and cultivated it as much as he could.
