Alex flew through the sky and even saw quite a few people flying on their own. It seemed people were either moving around or were simply enjoying their homes from the sky.
He ignored those people and flew on his own, going in the direction where he sensed Scarlet. He flew for 2 hours before arriving close to Scarlet. He could sense her nearby.
He looked around in search of her and noticed a massive mansion in the distance that looked like it had a lot of trees around it. That was where he sensed Scarlet was.
He found the location a little weird and activated his Demon Eyes. It was then that he noticed all of the trees were actually illusions created through what was most likely a formation.
'What?' Alex looked shocked when he noticed that. 'How is an illusory formation active? Shouldn't the Qi be getting thrown into the Qi barrier?'
He slowed down and landed outside of the mansion. He looked at the gate and couldn't find any sort of bell to ring.
"Scarlet, I'm--"
The gate opened on its own without anyone being there.
"--here," he finished letting Scarlet know, but it seemed that wasn't necessary.
"Senior says you can come in and find us in the backyard," Scarlet's words flowed into him through their bond.
Alex was a little surprised to hear that. 'She's calling him senior too?' he thought. That was not what he would've expected from a previously Immortal beast.
He walked in through the gate and along the driveway. He wanted to go around the house to go directly to the backyard, but he couldn't see any way to do so. There was no way to go around the house, which meant he had to go through it.
Alex slowly pushed open the main door, which easily opened up. Then, he spread his spiritual sense around the house and found a path through the house that led him to the backyard.
However, in that search, he also noticed a room that gave giving away some obvious space aura, which caught his attention.
He wondered if he should check what it was, but immediately got rid of the idea. He was in someone else's house, someone who was most likely an Immortal of higher rank than Scarlet even was. If he were to accidentally offend that person, he was as good as dead.
Alex ignored that room and walked the path he had found and went to the back of the house. He walked through one final door and arrived outside in a massive garden.
The backyard was an open meadow with flower bushes around the side, but nothing in the middle. There wasn't even any simple chair or table setup as many noble houses would have.
Instead, all he saw was a pond in the distance, and in front of it were 3 individuals.
Alex recognized Scarlet and Hao Ya immediately, but the final individual, a man was not someone he had seen before.
Hao Ya noticed Alex and quickly came up to him. "Come, my master has been waiting for you for a while now," she said.
Alex nodded and walked toward the man in the distance. At the same time, the man walked toward him too, leaving Scarlet by the pond.
The man wore a pure white robe that was without a single blemish on it. He looked middle-aged, about what a mortal would look in their 40s, but he had a clean-shaven face, making him appear quite handsome, which was aided by his tall height as well.
He held a smile as he stopped in front of Alex.
"Master, this is Alex," Hao Ya said. "Alex, meet my master."
"Greetings. I did not expect to be able to meet you this early," the man spoke in a gentle voice. "I'm happy to see that you are doing well."
Alex bowed toward the man. "It is an honor to meet you, senior," he said.
The man looked at Alex curiously for a few seconds and smiled. "Saint Foundation 9th realm," the man said. "In just a little over 40 years, that is definitely not something one can normally do, even if they have the best talent and body to go along with it."
"You flatter me, senior," Alex said. "There are several people who have done better than me."
"There are several people with a higher cultivation base than you, yes. I won't deny that," the man said. "However, a higher cultivation base doesn't necessarily mean better, does it? You should know that more than anybody."
Alex slowly looked up at the man. "You can tell?"
"That little birdie told me," the man said. "I'm truly surprised that there is someone who can bring out a cultivation prowess that is 9 realms higher than his own. Even back where I come from, I have never seen or heard of someone being able to bring out that much strength from their cultivation base."
