Alex appeared inside the secret realm, in a field that was entirely forest.
As soon as he entered, a spiritual sense landed on him and he smiled. "So you really are here," he spoke out loud.
"How? How did you get here?" Scarlet's voice came from far away before she herself flew and arrived next to him.
"I have my ways," Ning said as he looked at the giant Phoenix that was towering over him. "Damn, do all Heavenly beasts cultivate that fast? I wonder if Pearl can reach your speed once he too evolves into a proper White Tiger."
Scarlet had grown massive now. She had not only managed to grow but also had reached the Saint Condensation realm in the time they had been separated.
Alex couldn't make sense of how someone could cultivate that fast, except for assigning it to the fact that she was a heavenly beast that had a bloodline that was blessed by a true god.
"How did you find me?" she asked him again.
