Lind spent the better part of 6 months crossing the blasted lands of Rakathi. After leaving the mountains behind, he had thought there might be places to have shelter for a night but the tribulation lightning never stopped.
He also discovered another problem.
Despite being perfectly comfortable back in the shrine, he was unable to cultivate for any length of time in the wastes. The moment a crimson or cerulean bolt of lightning fell, his balance of elements would surge unexpectedly to the alignment of the lightning.
It took him 3 months to finally get through a full cycle and with the help of the senior dragon soul, he stabilized his foundation. He had not even noticed it had become unstable until she pointed it out to him.
