Lex was about to return to the Midnight Inn when he sensed a gaze fall on him. If soone even as much as thought about him within 100 miles of his body, Lex would be able to sense, which is why it was so easy for him to detect soone looking at him.
Much more than that, Lex even sensed the emotions within the gaze. They were filled with curiosity, but much more than that, they were filled with a competitive spirit.
"How was it? Did you find what you were looking for?" Lex asked, even before Giselle revealed herself.
"Unfortunately not," said the ballerina, without divulging that he was responsible for that failure. Even then, Lex could easily surmise what had happened.
"If you don't mind asking, is there sothing specific that you're hoping to achieve by finding such obscure treasures? Maybe I can help you out."
Giselle shook her head.
"Not everyone can go through a bunch of tribulations on a whim like you," she said with a hint of accusation. "So of us need to work hard to grow stronger to face our future tribulations."
Lex snorted, not believing her at all. But then again, it was true that not everyone had as easy access to treasures as he did.
"I'm kidding. I just have a challenge coming up that I'm preparing for. So of the treasures I'm searching for are to buy others help, while so of them are to genuinely aid my own growth. This place, for all the valuable treasures it still holds, no longer has what I need, so I was thinking of leaving. Do you have a way out of here?"
"I'm just going back to the Midnight Inn. Why don't you use the Inn as well?"
"I've already used the Inn's privilege to travel to another planet. I can't use it for a few more years. If I have to spend ti in so place, I might as well spend it here. At least I don't need to pay rent."
Lex let out an amused chuckle.
"Trust , you can use the privilege again. It's been a lot more than ten years since you probably last used your ability - at least within the Inn."
Lex held out a golden key for her, but she produced one of her own and left. A mont later, Lex also left.
He didn't know how much ti he had before Lilith sent word, so he had to recover as much as possible. The faster ti flow of the Midnight Inn was perfect for that - not to ntion that he needed to check up on so things.
Giselle, who returned to the Inn after years, was stunned the mont she returned. It was not just the World Eater in the sky that shocked her, or the exceptionally nourishing spiritual energy, tinged with elents that she could not find anywhere else, it was because she could feel the faster flow of ti.
This was definitely not the case the last ti she was here. Giselle had been to her fair share of other realms, and generally speaking, the flow of ti was slower, not faster than the Origin realm.
The flow of ti was usually determined by the size and maturity of a realm, but even then, lately there had been fewer and fewer realms with faster flows of ti. It was like there was a universal trend for realms to reach a flow of ti closer to the Origin realm.
In fact, the ongoing trend was to reach an even slower flow of ti than that, as the flow of ti even in the Origin realm was steadily slowing down. It was just that such a process occurred over a few million years, which is why it was not noticeable right now.
Giselle knew a few things that most in her realm did not - mainly concerning the ongoing realm wars which were wreaking havoc across the universe. The fact that the Innkeeper was so openly displaying a realm with a faster flow of ti was a blatant challenge to so imnsely powerful entities.
She felt afraid. Spending even a second here was incredibly dangerous. She wanted to imdiately use her privilege to escape this place and teleport to another planet. At the sa ti, she was imnsely tempted. The faster flow of ti would not only aid in her cultivation, it could rapidly increase her understanding of her affinity with ti.
She dared not directly peer into the secrets of the law of ti, but developing her affinity and letting the natural influence her affinity allowed her over ti should not be a problem. She was caught between two imnsely critical decisions.
Ultimately, her thoughts went to Lex, and his overwhelming performance within the Trial of Eternity. Even though, on a universal scale, he was still incredibly weak, she had to admit that even the top most forces of the universe might have trouble making soone that powerful.
Of course, she herself did not count. She was an exception due to her unique circumstances, and was more than certain that if she went all out she could go toe to toe with Lex. But when she considered that he had only just entered the immortal realm, she felt slightly inferior.
She clenched her fists and directly went to rent out a ditation room of the highest level.
At the sa ti, Lex walked into his personal ditation room, and looked at the giant, slumbering dragon there.
Pelvailin, or rather Pel. Jr. was wearing the Midnight Inn uniform - aning that the massive dragon was wearing a suit. This was not an aesthetic thing, though Lex had to admit that the dragon looked quite dashing. Instead, the purpose of the suit was solely to help the soul trapped within the body to be able to move the body.
In the distance, Geeves was standing on a stepladder, hand-stitching sothing near the tail of the dragon. Lex ignored him, appeared near the head of the dragon, and gently laid out the cultivation mat he had received as a gift, before sitting down.
It was ti for his first cultivation session as an immortal.
