Alex wanted to test out a few things and then cultivate to get back the Qi he would have used up in the future. Considering all that, he decided that 6 hours was necessary for him at the very least.
For 6 hours, it cost him exactly 480 Immortal Spirit stones.
The woman at the counter wasn't as bothered as she would have been, had she been able to properly sense what cultivation base he was in. She could tell that he was on the weaker side, but not exactly how weak.
The Immortal Concealnt technique ca in handy during such cases. He couldn't hide that well from people who were way stronger than him, but from soone who was just a little stronger than him, it worked amazing.
The woman handed over a small tal piece in the shape of a stamp with intricate details on it. That was the key to the room on the 12th floor. The number of the room, 43 was written on the back of the handle.
Alex walked away from the counter, moving toward the section of the building where he could fly to his floor at the top. On his way, he looked at the stamp he received with the main rectangular piece confusing him a little. He had never seen such details on any tal piece before. He wondered what that was supposed to be.
There were crisscrossing lines running across the surface of the tal as carvings, but none of them gave him the hint that it was a formation. There was no symtry or circular shape to it to signify that it was a formation.
It was also clearly not any sort of script since Alex didn't see any runes. Hell, he would be hard-pressed to find scripts in the Human Immortal realm anyway.
Runes ca from Demons, and at this point, only Talismans had managed to spread through the humans. Actual scripts using runes were still not sothing Alex found anywhere since humans primarily used Formations.
Alex arrived on the 12th floor and quickly found the room numbered 43. He looked at the door that was just a simple tal slab with a small section of it missing.
Alex placed the stamp into the hole like a key. A second later, he felt the entire door shudder and move a little. It had opened.
He pushed open the door even more and walked inside. He closed the door and looked at it from the inside. His eyes slightly narrowed when he saw what was on the other side of the door.
The tal door had a formation carved onto it, a section of which was missing. Alex looked at the stamp he had brought in and realized that the lines on the stamp were a section of the formation, taken out of it. When placed together, the formation was complete and the door activated.
There was another formation on the side that was the very sa formation with a section of it missing as well. Alex placed the stamp into it and the entire room ca alive all of a sudden.
The lanterns in the room began burning brightly, and a section of the floor opened as a puppet ca to the surface. The puppet that ca out was a larger puppet with many formations carved onto it.
Alex could recognize many of the formations on it, but not a lot. So of it was to reduce damage to it, so were to handle the puppet. There was even one that he thought was for self-regeneration.
Alex was surprised by how well-made the puppet was and couldn't wait to begin attacking the puppet.
"Is it already active?" he wondered.
With a snap of a finger, Alex created an explosion in front of the puppet that sent out a powerful blast. The room imdiately shined brightly, absorbing all of the power that Alex had used on it as well as all the sound it made.
To him, the explosion sounded no louder than sothing full of air popping.
The Puppet glowed softly with light and a few ssages appeared in front of it. Alex was a little surprised to see the ssages.
The puppet told him that what he had used just then had a strength of Immortal Origin 1st realm strength. He hadn't yet managed to improve his Intent to the point where he could match his Qi, so it would be too weak for a while to make any effect.
That wasn't so surprising though. What was really surprising was that the puppet gave more information than just the strength of his attack, but also how the description of the attack he had used.
The puppet could tell that he had used a fire elental attack, which had been the most of his attack. On top of that, it also told him that he was ranked among the top 97% of the people who used this puppet before him.
"Huh?" Alex thought. 97% made him feel sowhat bad, but when he thought about it, this puppet was supposed to be used solely by people in the Immortal Origin 3rd realm and above, the strength of which he hadn't reached yet.
The fact that he even reached 97% with it ant that there had been people who were much weaker and had been forced to co here to test out their powers.
"How high can I really go?" Alex wondered. In the end, he would hope to reach at least the top 75%. Would that be asking for too much?
He began testing his strength in order, with what he considered was his weakest. The very first thing was his physical strength.
He had been in this world for a few years, and ever since he had received a lot of Immortal spirit stones, he had begun using the Mountain Crushing artifact to train himself.
He hadn't yet managed to find materials that were better than the Starforged Tungsten, but it still helped him sowhat in achieving a better physical body.
While Alex hadn't managed to break through in all the ti he had cultivated his physical body, there had still been so improvents.
He made a simple punch on the puppet with all of his strength and the puppet told him his strength was in the Immortal Ascendant 1st realm. While sad, that was to be expected.
The puppet could tell that it was all pure physical force, and in terms of how strong the attack was, Alex was weaker than almost all the people who had co here to train.
Alex smiled a little and moved on to the next power he knew was stronger than his physical body. His mind.
His Spiritual energy had always been high due to him consuming so many beast cores toward the end of his Saint realm. As a result, his spiritual energy had improved realms beyond what he should have.
It had stagnated right before he beca an Immortal, but that was only because he needed to be an Immortal to have access to all of that power. When he had beco an Immortal, his Spiritual energy had improved by leaps and bounds.
Alex now got to check just how much that was. He targeted the puppet and used Heaven's Impact on it.
The Puppet reacted to the attack, and a mont later, it ca back with information for Alex.
