After dealing with his Heavenly Tribulation, Su Yang returned to his residence at the Outcast Peak.
"Hey, Xiao Yang. Haven't seen you around in a while. Been busy?" Li Sang was leaving the Outcast Peak just as Su Yang returned.
He nodded, "Yes, I've been busy with sect missions."
"Is that—Hmm?! Wait a minute! Your cultivation! How the heck did you reach the Divine Spirit Realm in such a short amount of time?!"
Su Yang showed a humble smile on his face and said, "I had a fortuitous encounter encounter outside the sect while doing my mission."
"Outside?! But you're only an Outer Court disciple!" Li Sang exclaimed. Then he remembered rumors about an Outer Court disciple who had received special permission from the Sect Leader to leave the sect for certain missions.
"Y-you must be that Outer Court disciple from the rumors! I can't believe it! How did you manage to do that?! I also want to leave the sect!"
