Alex moved through the wilderness like a force of nature, his Heavenly Sundering Art now at 58% comprehension, his Domain stable at eighth level, his Sword Intent pushing toward 90%. His movements improved with every passing hour. Killing Star realm monsters was becoming more like play."I should hunt faster. It's already getting dark. If I can clear a few more, my attribute points will cross a thousand."Just then, he received a message.“So Father will be staying in this place. What attracted him here? I don't think he would stay just for space stones.”Alex shook his head and focused on the Star realm monster ahead. His movements became more precise.Each kill brought more attribute points, more fragments of talent, more understanding.[Picked up 45 Attribute points.][Picked up 32 Attribute points.][Picked up Fire Talent Fragment.]By the time he returned to the underground area, his panel had transformed.Name: Alex RosharStar Force: 600 Stellar ForceTalent: Fire (S-level 1/48

Hearing the question, the Roshar King looked at Alex, then suddenly remembered his son's situation."The holy place is a special location of our family. It is specifically designed for our family members and warriors in the Law realm to cultivate."Alex asked again."So our soldiers can also cultivate there, but what makes the holy place so special?"The Roshar King and even Jack laughed. Jack spoke first."Alex, the holy place is important for all of us, even Immortals. There, you can comprehend law easily. Staying there for a year is more beneficial than practicing outside for ten years. It helps us understand law much faster."A thought occurred to Alex."Then why don't you send us there? It would be easier for us to comprehend law at early stages."The Roshar King shook his head."To enter, you must have the strength of the Law realm or above. It's not that we don't want to send you, but you cannot handle the pressure there."He added another point."Only five hundred people can e

Alex looked at his attribute points. He was shocked to discover more than three hundred points had been deducted.Damn it, even increasing six percent took three hundred attribute points. How much will it take to advance from the second stage to the third stage or beyond?He thought about body cultivation."It looks like most of my time in the future will be spent either hunting monsters or practicing. Life is really tough. I need to save the remaining attribute points for the bloodline awakening trial. I might need them."Just as Alex was about to resume practice, a knock came at the door."Alex, come to the lounge. Practicing in such a small space won't bring any improvement."Hearing his sister's voice, Alex shook his head, changed his clothes, and came out. When he looked at the table, he was surprised to see they were eating monster meat."You're all enjoying your trip to the wasteland."Miara nodded."Obviously. Do you think everyone is like you? You can travel wherever you want

Alex walked alongside the Roshar King. After a moment of silence, the King spoke."Alex, try to reach the peak of your strength. I don't know why your grandfather and great-grandfather keep their worries to themselves, but I've always felt they carry some burden. My talent wasn't exceptional in the beginning, but I always believed I needed to gain strength to solve their problems. Time made me realize that not everything can be achieved through hard work alone. Sometimes luck must favor you to reach the pinnacle."He looked at Alex."I wasn't favored by luck like you. Yet I still strive. I hope you can accomplish what I may not be able to achieve."Hearing his father's words, Alex understood that even his father didn't fully comprehend the mysteries of this world."It's alright, Father. No one knows what destiny holds until we truly strive. There may be opportunities that elevate your strength as well."The Roshar King didn't deny it. He changed the subject."Alex, you've never asked

Alex took out a bottle from his space ring."Sister Mia, try this. It might help you."Hearing Alex's words, Mia was surprised."Alex, don't waste important medicine on me. I've already used so many treasures from the family trying to restore my origin, but nothing worked."Alex shook his head."Don't worry about it. I have plenty of medicine, and this is the best among them. I think you should try it. Who knows, it might work."Alena nodded in agreement."Take it, Mia. It's not worth saving a few treasures. If your injury causes you to fail the bloodline awakening trial, it will be disastrous for your future."Mia nodded and took the bottle. When she opened it, even Alena looked inside, seeing a primordial gold liquid within.Without hesitation, Mia drank it. Alena turned to Alex."What is this liquid? It doesn't seem like ordinary medicine."Alex explained."It's called Aetheric Marrow. It's a naturally formed dew. I don't know its exact source, but the healing process is quite fast
