Tribulation Mountain

Alex arrived back in the Blue Silk sect, making his way toward the cave he had left alone for more than a year and a half. It took an hour or two to take care of his mountain before he made his way to the Sunheart Peak.

His arrival had apparently been notified to the many elders as Sunheart wasn't surprised when he arrived at her doorstep.

"You're back. I thought you would be staying out for much longer," she said.

"I would've, Elder, but I need to breakthrough, and one of my bonded beasts needs to break through to Immortality as well," he said. "So I had to come back."

"Oh, you're breaking through?" she asked. "That's quite early from what I know about you. You only came to this world around a decade ago, did you not?"

Alex nodded. It was in fact a little less than that even. 

"Did you come here to inform me of that?" she asked.
