It had been nearly 17 years since Alex had come to the Myriad Spirit realm, and while he had hoped he would be gone from here already, it wasn't so bad that he was making decent progress on his journey to go find his family.
Time was much more lenient anyway in the Immortal world, so he could afford to waste much more than this before he got to them.
Alex cultivated for a while after completing the breakthrough and when he was done, he checked the Blood God's Manual. The thing was still not opening or accepting any blood.
He had expected as much though, so he ignored it soon enough.
Alex decided to return back to his store and was making his preparations to leave when Elder Sunheart called for him. Wondering what the reason could be, Alex made his way to the Sunheart Peak.
"Elder Sunheart!" Alex greeted her with a respectful bow.
"You've broken through? I thought I felt as much," she said. "Congratulations."
"Thank you," Alex said.
