A week, then two weeks and then three went by, and yet nothing changed. Lex managed to temporarily strengthen his seal, but encountered a huge issue. There was both internal pressure, from his cultivation, and tenet, and external pressure, from the laws of the universe themselves.
It was as if Lex had crossed some invisible threshold, making it so he was ready to view and interact with those laws that he could not sense. Those laws, in turn, seemed almost excited to interact with him, but since he had not entered the next realm, they softly nudged at him, helping him move to the next level.
Lex suspected that this feeling is what helped those immortals with a more normal experience enter into the next level.
Either way, although he could reinforce his seal, he discovered that the pressure his seal faced increased exponentially. Every day that he did not break through, his internal and external pressure increased.
