Eye System

It didn't take Lex and his companions long to cover the area of the continent when they wanted to, and with their spiritual sense that they could spread widely, it was quite easy for them to find all the resources they needed around the continent.

However, they found that without the mysterious trinket in Lex's Portable Sub-Dimension, it was very hard for them to increase their cultivation level as the energy in the atmosphere of the continent was no longer dense enough to be useful to them.

They had reached a level where their bodies required extreme amounts of energy to continue to improve, and the energy on the continent was barely enough for Heaven Mortal Cultivators to improve their cultivation.

Becuase of that, to cultivate, they all relied on Lex's mysterious trinket, which could somehow absorb most of the energy in a large area around it and make it much denser in the small area around it.

The resources that Lex and his companions were able to gather on the continent were also barely useful to them at their high cultivation level, so most of them were used to increase the size of the Portable Sub-Dimension.

They were using the Portable Sub-Dimension's much denser energy to cultivate, which was why it was so important to them to increase its size.

The fox beasts were also reproducing and their numbers had almost doubled in a year, so they needed to increase the space of the Portable Sub-Dimension.

What Lex realised was that the fertility of the fox beasts was quite low and the more powerful and talented the fox beast was, the harder it was for them to reproduce.

But with the dense energy, abundant resources and free time, they still managed to almost double their numbers and those that could breed, bred with different partners and produced as many children as they could.

However as they continued to evolve and breed, the children were even more talented and capable than their parents, which was good, but that meant that it would be even harder for them to reproduce.

It was the way the world worked and the same was apparent for humans, but humans had much more medical knowledge and resources at their disposal to overcome the decreased fertility that beings experience when their cultivation level increases.

Without that mysterious trinket that Lex had found, they would have hardly been able to cultivate and the year that they had spent would have been useless, but with it, it was very productive.

Lex had reached the greatest mental state that he had ever been in and the results of his training over the past year were incredibly amazing. Even Ella was shocked by how far he was able to come on a small continent, within a year, which was a short amount of time for cultivators who would live for centuries.

He had gotten taller, even more toned and muscular, and his eyes settled at a red colour that had a black sheen. Despite Lex spending most of his time training in the use of Hell Blaze Flame and forming different skills and techniques that he could use with his Fire Manipulation Eye, his cultivation level had increased at an unimaginable rate.

Every month, he would spend a single day sparing and relaxing with Angela and Ella, and each time he would be able to easily take down Angela without even using any of his Eye Powers and only using his combat prowess.

Even if he didn't use his Internal Energy and only his External Cultivation, also known as his physical power, he would still be able to easily defeat her, despite her using all of her power and abilities.

However that went to show how powerful Lex had become and how fast he was developing and Angela's was still incredible, just not on the same level as Lex's that was heaven-defying.

His spars with Ella would always be the same and she would never use many abilities rather than the skills that she used that used the Spacial Element, but even then, she was still able to evade every single one of Lex's attacks.

Although Lex didn't go all out against her or use the Hell Blaze Flame that he was scared would accidentally wound her badly, he was still quite sure that she also wasn't going all out.

It was clear to him that she was from a plain that was above the Lower Plains and probably had cultivators that surpassed the Ascendant Cultivation Realm. Knowing that, Lex was itching to go there, but he knew that before he could even think about going there, he needed to reach the peak of the Lower Plains.

After experiencing the Soul Fusion and coming to terms with his Inner Demons, Lex no longer held any grudges in his heart and although he felt angry towards some and wanted to kill them, he didn't let it weigh down on his mind and heart as that would affect his cultivation.

Instead, he reserved the anger and saved it for when he could release it and use it to take down those that he was angry with and held hate towards. 

The Eye Demon had become much more cooperative and seemed to have accepted Lex as a host and Lex had a feeling that most of the things that the Eye Demon had done were to test him.

He would never go too far and everything he had done ended up helping Lex to improve his mind, body or cultivation, and the help that the Eye Demon had given him, had saved his life multiple times.

Lex was eternally grateful to the Eye Demon and the Eye Demon had watched Lex grow ever since integrating with him forcefully through the Eye System. Both had reached a mutual understanding and as long as the Eye Demon assisted Lex in his growth, the hate and revenge that the Eye Demon wanted would be completed by Lex.
