Eye System

Chapter 203: 1 Year Later Part 1

A year passed in the blink of an eye and it was a productive year for Lex, his companions and the entire continent that he was still on.

In a year of peace and with the whole continent working together and no longer competing for resources, the Gamma Country became the central country, but was still allied with the other countries.

With everyone working together and sharing resources on the continent, within no time they were able to rebuild all the infrastructure and buildings that were destroyed, and were also able to expand all their territories. 

Without any fear of war over certain areas, there were no restrictions on how much they could expand the land that they occupied and since they knew that Lex was still on the continent, none of them dared to fight.

Even if he wasn't there, seeing how prosperous the land was without conflict, the entire continent was happy and recovering from the massive loss that they had suffered because of the demonic cultivators and the Voltiac Guild.

Travel routes were built throughout the continent, making trade much easier and quicker, while the continent no longer having to worry about conflict, developed better technology and knowledge within a single year.

Meanwhile, Lex, who didn't know what was out there on the rest of the Lower Plains, wanted to be prepared for his departure, so wanted to increase his strength as much as possible. It  also allowed Angela to increase her strength to a better level, as compared to Lex and Ella she was still lacking and would hold them back on their journey if she wasn't strong enough.

With the Jade Empress's soul in her bracelet, Angela had an incredible number of techniques, skill manuals and cultivation methods to learn and her talent was high enough to use them all.

What she needed to work on was her mental state and she also needed to work harder, as apart from things like resources and the density of the energy around her, she had nothing else holding her back from improving her cultivation level.

Her talent was high enough for her to surpass the entire Mortal Cultivation Realm and become an Ascendant Cultivator, so the only thing holding her back was her herself.

Lex had managed to reach a mental state where he would not to allow anything to affect him too much mentally and after everything he had experienced and seen, there wasn't much else that could surprise him.

When he needed to be calm, he could stay calm, while when he was feeling a  certain way, he could express that and use his emotions to fuel his actions and his power. He also had the Mental Void Method if he did need to clear his mind, but Lex had dealt with all his Inner Demons and was ready to move on with his life.

He merely wanted to be generally happy with Ella beside him and wanted to find out everything about her, himself and the system. He also wanted to see Angela succeed and be happy, since she was his only friend and deserved to be happy after everything she had been through and sacrificed to help him and others.

Angela's heart was too kind and that had gotten her into many difficult situations, but luckily the methods she was cultivating, the things she had experienced and her master's training had allowed her to become much more cautious and cold.

Although when she was around Lex, all the coldness in her heart would disappear and the only thing she felt towards him was care and love. However it wasn't love that one would find between a couple, but love that was sibling love that was very strong.

To accomplish all of his aims and to no longer have to worry about anything threatening everything he had built and cared about, he needed to increase his power and face all of his enemies and obstacles head on.

In the year that they had spent on the continent, they had spent most of it cultivating and training in preparation to leave the continent, and they had also managed to gather any resources that they wanted from the continent.

Angela had managed to break through the Heaven Mortal Cultivation Level and became a Golden Mortal, and she had also managed to increase her mastery over her many techniques and skills.

She could single-handedly take over the entire continent and defeat all the cultivators on the continent alone after breaking through, but obviously, she had no intention of doing so and at that level, she felt as though it was beneath her.

The more one cultivated, the larger the gap became between them and ordinary mortals became. It was very common for high level cultivators to gain a superiority complex because of it and no longer care about the life of others, but that was something that Angela was yet to feel and she still cared for others just like she did before she was powerful.

However, that didn't mean that she would act upon that feeling of care and most of the time her mind was blank and her emotions were dull. That was because of the methods she was cultivating that needed her to be cold and emotionless, and had that effect on her.

Ella also cultivated diligently, but unlike when Lex and Angela cultivated, which would usually cause a large commotion, her cultivation was calm and very hard to sense. However, around her, there would be a profound aura and no matter how much Lex tried, he couldn't gauge her cultivation level or power.

All 3 of them could move around the continent at rapid speeds that couldn't be seen by the others on the continent as the gap between a Heaven Mortal and a Golden Mortal was extremely large. 

With that, they could explore the continent as they pleased and didn't have anything to worry about as they focused mainly on cultivating and increasing their power.
