Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 601: [Astral Sky Pagoda] and cultivation area.

With Angel\'s and Tatyana\'s help, Yasenia filled this building with formations, intending to make it one of the most essential parts of the entire sect.

Yasenia smiled, quite proud of her work. "This pagoda was much more complicated to build than I thought. We\'ve already poured twenty million Flawless Parus on it, and we are not nearly finished."

Tatyana smiled. "Did you take inspiration on the [Sky Piercing Tower] back home? It gives me similar vibes."

Yasenia was not afraid to admit that. "I want to build it for disciples. The lowest floor will be for Meridian and Dantian Creation Realm disciples. Then, floors one to three will be for Body Modification Realm disciples, four to seven for Mental nourishing Realm ones, and eight to twelve for Unification Realm sect members."

Yasenia smiled as she explained further. "It will also be quite nice as a talent test, and disciples can be competitive and create records with the score tablet we will add to it. Once someone passes all the levels, they will gain many benefits and the right to become a Sect Elder. Moreover, geniuses will be able to fight on who overcomes all twelve levels the fastest, allowing us, the sect, to pick good seedlings."

Tatyana nodded and asked. "The challenges are only combat?"

Yasenia shook her head. "The formations that Angel copied back in the Secret Realm, the ones that she looked at when she arrived in those pillars, are actually the formation lines and runes needed to create the trials we went through in Lost Town."

Yasenia chuckled. "Naturally, my baby still has to master them, so creating anything similar to it and so realistic is impossible. However, with her previous knowledge added to what she learned from them, Angel can only create something powerful enough to test up to low-level Unification Realm Cultivators. But with your help, we can perfect these things and probably test everyone under the Dantian Spiritualization Realm."

Yasenia admitted. "If someone is above that level, testing them is quite silly. They will count as a powerhouse of the sect."

Yasenia blinked and said to Tatyana, who she still carried in a princess hug. "You can even use them back in the Academy."

Tatyana pecked her lips. "I\'ve seen them, and there is a lot of interesting knowledge. However, I\'m in close-door cultivation, so even if I know it now, it\'s impossible to apply it. I don\'t really need it yet, though. Maybe when you come back home, I will create one for you to fight at will."

Tatyana asked. "By the way, how will you call this tower?"

Yasenia pondered. "I was thinking something like… [Measure the strong Pagoda]."

Tatyana nodded. "That\'s a good name."

"IT\'S NOT!"

Mother and daughter turned and saw Evelyn coming toward them with a wry expression and standing on Sierra\'s head. Evelyn reprimanded. "Love, how often have we told you not to name things without consulting us first?"

Yasenia pouted. "It\'s not that bad, though. Very direct and nice."

Evelyn rolled her eyes and looked at Tatyana. "Can\'t you not agree with everything your daughter does?"

Tatyana blinked innocently. "But I think it\'s a good name."

Evelyn was stumped, and Sierra laughed. "Lady Yasenia, how about calling it something like… [Ascension Tower]."

Yasenia got thoughtful. "Hmm…"

Evelyn jumped down and landed on Yasenia\'s left. She saw that she was not convinced, so she suggested. "This thing will be unique, right?"

Yasenia nodded, and Evelyn suggested. "How about [Astral Sky Pagoda]?"

Yasenia\'s eyes lit up, and she used her tail to pick up her dear and kiss her face. "That\'s a good suggestion!"

Evelyn sighed, feeling a bit helpless. \'Thank the heavens she agreed to let us name the children.\'

Evelyn asked. "By the way, how many people are you going to accept?"

Yasenia shrugged. "As many as pass the test. With the Parus mine we have, we have enough resources to support even a first-rate sect, so it\'s really not a problem."

Evelyn nodded, and Sierra commented. "What about defenses that are not formation-related?"

Yasenia nodded and frowned. "Well, to cover that, the thing we need is strong people for the sect. Although the lamias are good, even having Luscia, Finnegan, and that harpy who can fight against middle-level Epoch core cultivators, high-level ones are still out of reach. We need high-level cultivators to become a true powerhouse."

Tatyana smirked and asked. "How is your strength, little treasure?"

Yasenia tilted her head and answered, unsure. "I should not have rivals left in the Unification Realm after I enter the seventh level, but now… half-steps and peak-level Ethereal Core Cultivators should be able to give me a fight. I\'m not sure, though. I\'ve been fighting many beasts, and they are much weaker than I expected."

Tatyana blinked and chuckled. \'She is underestimating herself. Well, she will soon begin fighting more than she wants to, so she will realize by herself.\'

Tatyana made a few calculations in her head and then asked. "When do you plan to open the sect?"

Yasenia used her tail to coil around Evelyn while holding Tatyana and smiled. "When all my dears reach the seventh level of the Unification Realm. By then, I\'m sure we can fight any second-ranked powers, leaving only first-ranked powers as competitors."

Evelyn smiled. "I will reach that level in three months at most~."

Sierra chuckled. "Besides Andrea, who is dual cultivating body and spiritual paths, you will be the slowest~."

Evelyn snorted. "So what? I\'m not that far behind. Besides, I\'m the youngest!"

Tatyana nodded. "I\'m also at the beginning of the sixth level. This injury has delayed my cultivation quite a lot… How is Andrea doing?"

Yasenia smiled. "Let\'s go see. I\'m curious."

Evelyn commented. "I need to go do other things. See you later, Yasenia."

Yasenia caught her before she left and expertly used her long dragon tail to hug her close and kiss her deeply. The dragoness smiled softly as she nuzzled with her. "You almost forgot the goodbye kiss, dear~."

Evelyn giggled and then flew on top of Sierra\'s head, both moving toward the most eastern side of the sect.

Yasenia went south from the pagoda, arriving at a place with seven locations that shouldn\'t be close together.

After the formation activation, the cultivation area for them had formed.

There was a location with cold winds, abundant space energy, and [Moon Rocks] for Moon Energy.

Another area was filled with strangely shaped prismatic glass and floating light orbs.

The other was a lush forest with abundant Life, Nature, and Wood energies.

The next one was a rocky area with a constant artificial storm and lightning falling down continuously.

The following location was a dark area with a dead forest and creatures filled with Death energy. Creating a Fate energy source was highly complicated, so instead, they made an energy-gathering formation that attracted Fate energy right in the middle of the Death biome.

The final place was a volcanic area with a lava river going right through the middle, with metal, earth, magma, and Sun energies rampaging around.

Yasenia\'s Sun, Moon, and Star location was in another place since opening such an area for the public was impractical, as almost nobody would be able to cultivate in such a chaotic area.

Remember that Moon and Sun energies were opposites, so an area filled with both energies would be naturally chaotic.

All these regions were maintained by the powerful formation surrounding the sect.

Yasenia flew on her sword with Tatyana toward the volcanic region.

After entering, a searing heat hit them like a wall, but a simple energy shield avoided further damage.

The further inside, the higher the heat and the stronger the natural energies.

This was true in every location, to create areas where lower-level cultivators could stay.

Of course, they made the center private for them, where the most abundant and purest energies were created.

Andrea was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the cultivation area for Sun, magma, metal, and fire cultivators, bathing inside the lava river they excavated.

The thick substance moved around her, and the pure energy from nature enhanced by formations nourished her body.

Yasenia stood in the distance and didn\'t interrupt. The energies were becoming more potent by the second, meaning Andrea was on the verge of a breakthrough.

The [Immortal Sun Obliterating Body] was a technique that tempered the physique with extreme heat and Sun energy.

With the technique, Andrea heated her insides like an oven and used the powerful Sun energy to strengthen her muscle fibers, bones, and organs.

To enter the second realm of Body Cultivation was similar to the process of entering the second realm of Spiritual Cultivation.

What changed between the three cultivation methods was that the Tribulation Lightning would either target the body, the soul, or both.

As a Unification Realm Expert, Andrea was incomparable to ordinary people body-strength-wise.

This was an advantage and a disadvantage.

It was an advantage because the first realms\' " tempering " didn\'t hurt as they should. However, the disadvantage was refining her body in the first place.

Body Cultivation was very painful. It was the tempering of the body, after all.

Hence, the energy Andrea needed to use to advance through the lower levels was many times more than usual, or she wouldn\'t even feel it or gain anything from it.

Therefore, Andrea cultivated at each level until it was impossible to strengthen the foundation anymore at that point.

Gray clouds gathered above Andrea, and Yasenia was surprised. "That tribulation cloud would obliterate anyone below the Mental Nourishing Realm. It\'s much stronger than Andrea\'s first tribulation for the Body Cultivation path."

Tatyana pondered. "I think the heavens take into account her Spiritual Cultivation. Moreover, they must have realized how perfectly tempered Andrea\'s body is. Honestly… When Andrea\'s body cultivation catches up with her Spiritual Cultivation, she will become an unstoppable juggernaut."

Yasenia asked. "Won\'t all of us be similar?"

Tatyana shook her head. "Kali, Cecile, and you, perhaps. Your beast physiques are very nice. However, Angel, Evelyn, and I will be worse than Andrea. Andrea had worked on her body even before getting the Body Cultivation technique, so her foundation is stronger than ours."

Yasenia nodded. "I see. It\'s not addition, but multiplication."

Tatyana nodded. "If Andrea has 100 physical points as a base, this body of mine has 90, and Angel\'s and Evelyn\'s have 80."

Yasenia asked. "Is this body that bad?"

Tatyana chortled. "The strong point about this body is not the physical resistance, but the regeneration and other secrets~. The technique is called [Divine Lich Empress\'s Body Forging Technique], so it can\'t be bad, right?"

Yasenia smiled. "That\'s true. What about your main body?"

Tatyana shook her head. "Well… That body would have quite a high score… I\'ve eaten countless treasures and other things. There is no competition, really. However! By the time Andrea and you girls reach my level, it probably won\'t be any worse… Probably."

Yasenia snorted. "You don\'t sound that confident."

Tatyana shrugged. "Sorry, little treasure, but I\'m very confident in my strength."

Meanwhile, Andrea opened her eyes and wanted to stand up to receive the lightning. However, she couldn\'t move. \'Huh? What\'s wrong? Am I locked again?\'

Andrea frowned and looked upwards.

Then, the tribulation struck.

BANG!

The electrical currents were like searing magma flowing through her meridians, muscles, veins, bones, and organs.

Andrea felt her muscles tightening and becoming sturdier as the Heavenly Lightning traveled across her body.

A frown appeared between her brows, but it soon became one of surprise. She could feel Sun Energy appear in her muscle fibers and other body parts.

RUMBLE!

The second strike struck, and the lava around Andrea exploded. Andrea felt it, but it wasn\'t that bad.

What bothered her the most was the strange feeling of her bones, muscles, and other things twisting and absorbing the energy while they became sturdier.

The third lighting struck.

BANG!

Andrea tensed for a few seconds, and then, her body relaxed. She muttered. "Now, I\'m in the Mortal Transformation Body Realm."

Yasenia was puzzled, looking at the whole ordeal. "Why isn\'t she resisting? I can feel a lack of energy defenses around her body."

Tatyana squinted. "She can\'t. The heavens have locked her movements and external energy aid."

Yasenia was surprised. "Hmm. Is it because a Body Cultivator must resist the heavenly tribulation instead of fighting it?"

Tatyana nodded. "That\'s the most likely answer. It can also be because she is a dual cultivation of Body and Spirit. I would have to see a normal body cultivator breaking through."

Yasenia sighed. "Such a shame that Ghana went to a traditional place in the Harpy Clan to break through the Epoch Core Realm. We should\'ve followed her."

Tatyana smiled. "No worries, there are thousands of body cultivators in the clan. Catching one or two middle-tribulations is not that difficult."

Yasenia sighed. "If all Body Cultivators must resist as Andrea does… No wonder Body Cultivation became a lost art in the past. The number of Body Cultivators dying to tribulation must be pretty high.

Meanwhile, after observing the changes in her body, Andrea stood up, unharmed. She clenched her fist and felt slightly more powerful. \'Hm… about five percent stronger? That\'s not bad for a second-realm effect on a fourth-realm Spiritual Cultivator. More than that would be abnormal. I\'ve just entered the second realm, after all. So, for being just the second realm, the difference is incredible. Do cultivating both ways multiply instead of adding with each other?\'

As Andrea pondered, Yasenia appeared before her, standing on the lava while carrying Tatyana. This environment was not that dangerous for the Celestial Dragoness, who controlled the Sun as one of her elements. "Darling, congratulations. How do you feel?"

Andrea smiled and floated up, using her energy to make the sticky lava fall from her body into the magma river below them.

Andrea stepped forward and hugged her dragoness. "Very comfortable. Let\'s go to our house and talk there. Here is a bit…"

She looked around at the volcanic area and chuckled. Yasenia and Tatyana also laughed, so the three women moved together.

After reaching the house, the other girls also gathered, and they asked questions to Andrea together.

Knowing that they would have to bear the Tribulation Lightning with their bodies made them frown. But they were determined to learn a Body Cultivation technique.

Their desire for strength was only increasing as the block roads like Tengliu and the Abyssal Horrors appeared.

They always felt guilty allowing Yasenia to bear the brunt of these things, whether she did it intentionally or not. \'We need strength to protect our dear dragoness!\'

*************************************************

Andrea: The feeling of getting stronger is awesome. Love, soon I will stop being the one dragging you- Mph!?

Yasenia: Bad girl, I told you I would punish you each time you said stupid things!

Author: Bye~. Have a nice time with Yasenia!

Andrea: W-Wait, help! Aahn~.

Tatyana: *Narrating with a tragic voice* And with the tragic moan, our heroic woman fell into the clutches of the power dragon. Her cries of pleasure- cough, desperation would be heard for hours.

Author: Hahaha, let\'s summon today\'s dear. I summon you!

WPOmega: Hello!

Kali: Hello! Who are you going to ask today?

WPOmega: I was thinking about asking all of you but… where are Andrea and Yasenia?

Evelyn: Fucking- Omph.

Kali: Ahem, discussing things in private.

Evelyn: Kali, you really know where to strike. Ouch.

WPOmega: Well, either way. That\'s actually good. Without Andrea present, I can ask this personal question, for uh.... let\'s just say obvious reasons.

WPOmega: What are your thoughts on bringing food into the bedroom? An example would be melted chocolate to pour on Andrea\'s abs and other body parts to lick off, maybe lick it off after she\'s shot her own "cream" on top of the chocolate so you can get a taste of the mix... Does that not interest you as much as it does me?

Author: Well… Let me accelerate time over there and carry Yasenia over.

Yasenia: Phew, I filled her until it spilled! Oh? It hasn\'t ended still?

Author: Well, you see…

Yasenia: Humu, I see…

Yasenia: WHY DIDN\'T I THINK OF THAT BEFORE!? AHH!!!

Evelyn: Humu, I expected this reaction.

Kali: It was a bit obvious.

Yasenia: Say… Do you think Andrea is too tired, or…?

Author: Here, a stamina pill.

Yasenia: Heuhhueheh. Bye!

Author: And there she goes.

WPOmega: What was that laugh and perverted face!?

Evelyn: Hmmm… I want to join.

Author: Then go.

Angel: U-Um…

Author: Yes, yes. I know you want to try that but on Yasenia, so go with them and ask her. She will probably use your favorite ice cream around the… well.

Angel: Gulp. I-I\'m going!

WPOmega: Cecile, Kali, Tatyana, are you not going?

Tatyana: I\'ll have my fill eventually.

Cecile: I prefer normal sex.

Tatyana: Your animalistic mating is not normal.

Cecile: Hum. Then, I prefer losing my mind and then having sex gently.

Kali: U-Um. I-I also like slower intercourse but… Well…

Valeria: You love doing it with your mouth, so maybe later in private?

Kali: AHH!!! What are you telling them, Valeria!?

WPOmega: I see. The idea was a success, it seems.

Author: Yup… E-Either way. Goodbye, little lurkers!
