Chapter 2020 Tribulation Mountain

Chapter 2020 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.

"Yes," Alex said. "That and ask if you know of a place where my beast can break through to Immortality without having others disturb us."

"There are plenty of empty mountains for that. You can go and request for one," she said. "Although, you don't have that many contribution points in the sect, do you?"

She quickly pulled out a talisman and handed it over to Alex. "If they say they can't give you any, show them this talisman. They will hand over one of the tribulation mountains to you."

"Oh! That's good," Alex said. It seemed he wouldn't have much of a problem then. "I had thought I would have to go somewhere desolate to do that."

"The sect provides you one," she said.

"I'm surprised it does, given a regular breakthrough shouldn't require that," Alex said.

"But our tribulation does," the woman said. "You must not know about Immortal tribulations. You're not old enough to know, I suppose."

"Immortal tribulation?" Alex asked, confused for a moment before he remembered what it was. "Ah! That thing where Immortals have to face lightning tribulations every 10 thousand years."

"Yes," the woman said. "I'm surprised you know."

"Thank you for your help, Elder."

He turned and walked away. Alex made his way to a teleportation formation that took him to another section of the sect where he could get himself a tribulation mountain to breakthrough through.

He asked for one from the elder who worked in the administration section of the sect and was happy to learn that he didn't need any sort of contribution points to get that mountain.

It appeared he had gained a bit of leeway in almost everything thanks to his somewhat special status within the sect. As the first person in the sect to legitimately have a Celestial-grade talent, they were more than willing to go the extra mile for Alex.

Alex took full advantage of that.

Alex had received a large medallion that not only gave him permission to go to one of the mountains but also to the many formations that were there.

Alex had thought of getting his own formations to create barriers for stopping other people from seeing what happened inside, but it turned out he didn't have to.

Now that everything was ready, all that was left was for Alex to go and break through.

The tribulation mountains were spread throughout the entire sect, and the one Alex got was one deep within the southern region. Rarely anyone but beasts lived in this region of the sect, so Alex was mostly free to do whatever it was that he wanted.

Alex took out the medallion he had received and quickly checked the many formations that he could activate. One by one, he activated all of the formations that were laid around the mountain and felt a powerful barrier emerge around him.

The size and strength of the barrier surprised Alex as to exactly how strong it all was. He looked around, making sure there was no way for someone else to sneak in or let their Spiritual senses into the area.

That was of the utmost importance here.

After all of Alex's security concerns were gotten rid of, he finally sighed and arrived at the peak of the mountain.

"Come out, Pearl," he said and Pearl arrived next to him.

"Are we ready?" Pearl asked.

Alex nodded. "Go ahead," he said. "You can begin your breakthrough here."
