The rise of the pervert primordial

"A feather from a being way above the Heavenly Conqueror realm huh... if they have one, then that woman should have it too, I wonder why she didn't use it", mumbled Aster.

Considering Natasha and Charlotte had such a powerful treasure with them, it was safe to assume that woman from the Storm Roc race had something of the same level in store.

So now the question was, why she didn't use it to block his attack which made her runaway with the tail between her legs.

Mylene doubted for a second as if she was looking for the easiest way to explain something, before she said.

"Mmm... do you remember how me an Eris weren't able to cultivate with the spirit energy of this place?".

"Yes", shortly answered Aster as he laid down on his bed, with Kana snuggling on his chest.

"It's somewhat related to that, you see having a treasure from the Divine Firmaments doesn't mean they can freely use it here, unless they are ready to be struck down by the heavenly law of course".

"To power a treasure a source of energy of the same level is needed, that's a universal rule, unfortunately any kind of energy above the Heavenly Conqueror realm is banned in mortal planes, so even if they have the treasure, they can't power it".

"That being said, there are some exceptions to the rule, because the heavens don't ban naturally born treasures, regardless of their origin, that golden energy of yours for example or my decay attribute which isn't something that should appear in the mortal planes".

"The core of it is allowed to manifest here, as long as the energy powering it doesn't go past the Heavenly Conqueror realm".

"Those two took advantage of that flaw, when I was fighting the girl from the Sun Graceful Luan clan, she was using a pendant with a drop of blood from her ancestor, she injected her spirit energy there and got an upgraded version of her usual flames, which were able to cancel my attacks and divine pressure altogether, to a certain extent despite the gap in cultivation".

"As for the sun and moon, they simply took advantage of the way their races cultivate, the Sun Graceful Luan absorbs ying by decomposing it and then changes it into yang to store it in its feathers".

"The Moon Stream Luan does the same but in reverse, by decomposing yang it changes it into ying and then uses it to clad its feathers, the negative effects that are affecting the sun and the moon of the secret realm, is because of that same process".

"It's not really that much of a problem as this process would take thousands of years to fully drain a celestial body since it's just a feather, but a real Luan of the highest level can turn a sun or a moon into a lifeless stone in a couple of dozens of years, that's one of the ways their strongest members cultivate".

"Woah, that sounds cool~", said Kana with sparkles in her big eyes, just imagining a giant yet elegant and pretty bird covered in flames or water nesting on a sun or a moon, was enough to make her curious about it.

'There are tornados in the space, so I guess one day you'll be able to do something similar', thought Aster as he patted Kana's head.

"That's good I was worried, that when I get the Emerald Whirlwind it would be limited by the rules of the Heavenly Quadrant unable to grow past the Heavenly Conqueror realm, prior to us leaving this mortal plane", said Aster.

Vivian who was finishing her food, giggled at Aster's words, it was as if he was sure, the Emerald Whirlwind was already in the bag, on the other hand she couldn't help but believe in his affirmation, as she has seen him do things that anyone would deem impossible in just a few days of knowing him.

The rest of the day was pretty much they resting preparing to travel at night, after Kana did her meditation session of the day, she played with each of the girls including Vivian who grew more comfortable thanks to Kana.

As long as one wasn't an asshole, it was impossible not to be infected by the adorable enthusiasm of Kana, so by the end of the day, Vivian got to play with someone for the first time in her life, as she grew isolated due to being sick and unable to do any strenuous activities.

Aster couldn't help but smile at seeing those two playing with Espi, which turned out to be an infant Sand Wyrm according to Natasha.

Although Espi originally only approached them due to Aster, as it felt a certain familiarity due to his dragon lineage, it was pretty tolerant towards the girls and soon it was playing hide and seek with Kana.

"I always wanted a little sister... but she is too energetic for me", mumbled Vivian, with her fragile body she couldn't keep up with Kana who seemed to be unable to run out of energy even after a couple of hours of playing.

Aster laughed as he took a seat next to Vivian, before saying.

"Thanks for playing with her, this is Kana's first time away from her mother, so I want it to be a really memorable experience for her, leaving aside her cultivation and her getting to know the cruelty of the world of course".

"Mm, I wish such a good girl could remain unstained by this world... but that's too unrealistic", mumbled Vivian with a somewhat nostalgic voice.

Aster raised an eyebrow but as he was about to say something, Vivian interrupted him.

"I was wondering, is Kana your true little sister, she calls you "big brother" all the time, and she seems to be really attached to you as well.

"Well, not exactly, her mother Sarina, is my lover, but I met Kana before that... in fact if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have gotten to know Sarina, she has had a pretty big impact in the way other people see me actually".

Camila once mentioned that one of the reasons that made her trust in giving Aster the heirloom of the Wolfstein, was that she saw Kana being so attached to him, and how bad can someone who has the trust of such a good girl like her could possibly be.

"Your lover, so you are actually as romantic as the rumors say?", mumbled Vivian.

Aster bitterly smiled, since he saves those girls from the bandits, all kind of rumors started to spread about him, specially because it was true that he was always surrounded by beauties.

But most of them were pretty exaggerated, like affirming he joined the Myriad Occupation sect to conquer all the girls from the four peaks, taking advantage of the fact that the number of male disciples was pretty low, and those who were decent enough to get the attention of the female disciples were even less in number.

"Not like the rumors, but I do have more than one partner".

"Mm... I see, I guess it's to be expected since you have a dragon lineage, to be honest I didn't know that was the case, since you don't look like one of those playboys, I just thought you had this ying aura around you due to those cold blue flames and maybe because all your family is consists in women, so it's normal that their aura is in you, just like yours is in them".

Aster chuckled, luckily his yang was pretty strong, so even after having a lot of lovemaking with his girls their ying was soon absorbed by him, leaving just faint traces which wouldn't give away the fact that they were lovers.

Also he was surprised that their conversation became a bit personal in a matter of minutes, on the other hand he was pretty sympathetic with Vivian, since he found out that her situation was pretty similar to his.

In fact, according to Rya, if it wasn't for him having his own lineage which outpowered the Drage bloodline from the very beginning, he would have suffered through his younger years, just like Vivian.

"That's enough of me, how about you, you already told me the name of your body constitution, so a bit of backstory wouldn't be too much".

Vivian turned to see Aster with those pale dim pupils of her which barely differentiated from her sclera, she stared at Aster for a whole ten or so seconds, which felt like minutes for Aster by the way, before she said.

"I don't know too much actually, my first memories are of uncle taking care of me, soon I lost my sight and then my ability to move, and after a couple of years or drinking antidotes to regain my mobility, he told me I was the daughter of a really good friend of his, who died when giving birth to me, so he in memory of my mother took me in and swore to take care of me until I was able to look for myself, or until I decided to live on my own".

"While uncle didn't mention it, I'm pretty sure my poison could have played a part in my mother's demise, so I decide to live on to the best of my capacities, for the sake of my mother who did so much for me, knowing I wouldn't even be able to remember her".

"After that I pretty much focused in cultivating since I didn't need to be able to move for that, then after advancing in the energy path I realized I had a high talent in the soul path, probably because since I was little, I had to go through a lot of things other kids my age wouldn't, since I wasn't able to see and not by innate so I simply couldn't get used to it".

"The soul path changed my life, I realized I didn't need my eyes to "see" and that also helped me make the paces with my own body constitution, which I rejected prior to that, so I became skilled in the soul path after overcoming all of that".

"And that's pretty much about it, besides that I didn't really have any contact with anyone, besides uncle, or senior Oscar... uncle's son once tried to be close to me, but due to a certain incident that changed".

"Uncle did it, but I haven't properly thanked you for helping me recover my sight, with this I can again advance in my soul cultivation, even if my energy cultivation is gone along with my poison~".

Aster saw Vivian's bright smiling expression, and he couldn't help but admit she was pretty strong despite her fragile self, while most people think the body path is the most painful out of the three, the soul path is actually the hardest.

Wounds can heal with medicine, but there are no external means that can help you overcome your fears and inner demons, ant those things are more obvious in the soul path, than in the other ones.

"I guess we all have something that makes us push forward, in my case that "something" is my family", mumbled Aster as he looked at Kana playing with Espi, with a carefree smile on her face.

...

While Aster and Vivian kept talking about some other things, Ixas, Natasha, Charlotte and their protectors approached them once the sin settled down.

"It's time, if we leave right now, we would reach our destination in two nights, with the help of Espi, while resting during the day, I prepared a seat so that we can all fit on its back more comfortably", said Ixas.

Aster nodded and then he called Kana and Espi to come, Ixas waved his hand and a cube of rock appeared on the ground next to him, he then made some gestures and the cube floated before he let it down on Espi's back.

Then under the surprised eyes of everyone, the rock melded with the white scales of Espi, fixating it so that it wouldn't move.

"That's quite a convenient ability", mumbled Aster, which earned him some happy hisses from Espi.
