Skipped?

Alex felt at his Dantian, then his Qi, and finally his entire self to make sure he had, in fact, reached the Immortal Origin realm as he had thought. Every single part of him told him that he had done it, that he had achieved the breakthrough.

And yet, none of him could accept this fact.

None of him could accept that he had done it without fighting his Inner Demon.

What had happened there? It confused Alex.

Had he really met with his Inner Demon and not remembered? That wasn't right. Then had he really just skipped it? Surely he wasn't so perfect that he had no issues for the Inner Demon to exploit.

Hell, he could think of multiple such points of contention himself. That was not the case.

'Then… am I perhaps fighting my Inner Demon right now?' Alex wondered. He had never known an Inner Demon to show up as an illusion, but then he had never known it to skip people either.

So there was a first time for everything.
