"That must be terrible," Alex said. "Does that mean the other senior also has to go through Heavenly Judgment?"
"No," the Tortoise said. "While we are considered one and the same, we are still two different beings. We do go through Lightning Tribulation alone, but that's just because our cultivation bases are entwined."
"I see," Alex said and made a thinking face.
The tortoise slowly looked down at Alex and stared at him for a while. "Did you not know that?" he asked.
"Uh, no. This is the first time I've ever met with a Black Tortoise like yourself, senior," Alex said.
"But you have read about us, right?" the Black Tortoise asked.
Alex thought for a moment and said, "No. Everything I know about you comes from what I learned in the White Tiger's palace, which wasn't a lot."
"You haven't learned about us before? Hah! Where did you come from, young human?" the Tortoise asked.
"From the Western Continent," Alex said.
