Alex and the sect master returned to the sect after a few days.
Alex was done with his training for now and had to go back to cultivating. He had fought beasts up to Saint Foundation's 4th realm and defeated them, and even managed to survive a 5th realm beast long enough for the sect master to interfere.
Alex now understood how strong his dao was. He was surprised to find that there was a ceiling to how strong his dao could get.
It wasn't a natural ceiling but rather one imposed on him by the heavens. Regardless of how strong his intent was, if the heavens didn't want to help him, he couldn't ask too much out of them.
Still, being able to bring out a power that was 4 realms higher than his Qi was already good enough.
If there wasn't a cap on it, he wondered just how badly a simple Dao could destabilize the entire cultivation world.
'I wonder how much stronger the others can get,' he thought.
