Chapter 92

Everyone focused on the crater and looked out for Yasenia. When they spotted her, a sorry sight entered their sight. They saw Yasenia still clutching the sword and standing. However, she had one arm completely charred, her face burned, and the visible skin filled with burns of different degrees. Her tail scales were open and dripping blood.

Tatyana shouted, “Ava, Eve, Anna, fast! I don’t care what you use, but I want her perfectly recovered for tomorrow!” Even before Tatyana stopped speaking, the three of them had disappeared from the spot and began their healing process.

With Tatyana’s first command, everyone snapped and started moving. The guards and teachers started scouting around to see if there wasn’t someone that saw this. Tatyana approached Yasenia with Cecile and the rest.

The seniors looked down, and the Moon Goddess spoke with relief in her voice, “It seems that she survived. I wasn’t sure, to be honest. This tribulation was similar in strength to a mythical beast’s advancement tribulation strength…”

Cecile looked usked, “Why is her tribulation so strong? It is incomparable to other people. Not to speak about the strength of the last six lightning bolts, the previous six were enough to kill almost anybody in the Body Modification realm!”

The two seniors looked at Cecile, and the Sun God said, “Since you are her current marked mate, expect your future tribulations to scale in strength. The benefits of being a marked mate of a [Progenitor Queen] are more than you think.”

The Moon Goddess answered her question. “As for why are her tribulations stronger… That is because of us, and the heavens are strengthening it. We strengthen the power of the lightning bolts, and the heavens add the quantity. That is why she was struck 27 times, and the bolts were that strong.”

Cecile became first apprehensive at the Sun God remark. However, then she became furious. “Why are you strengthening it!? Does she even gain something from this!? Isn’t she your inheritor!? If she dies, your legacy will die with her!”

They answered coldly, “If she dies, then she is unworthy.”

The Sun God then said. “Moreover, there are benefits. The lightning bolts have heavenly attributes. Because we are strengthening them, the electrical currents are made of Heavenly Sun, Moon, and Star attributes. They will gradually evolve her elements and body, making her stronger. When she ends the mortal realms, her elements will transform, and her strength will become tyrannical even between Transcendence realm cultivators.”

Cecile was surprised and then bowed. “I’m sorry, seniors, for being irrational. Seeing Yasenia hurt this much again made some emotions resurface.”

Both nodded in understanding. “Being able to rectify your faults and admit them is very remarkable.”

The Moon Goddess looked at her and smirked. Pointing her finger toward Cecile, “Here, a present for you. Become stronger, little girl. I hope you use this strength to protect yourself and Yasenia.”

Cecile then was pierced in the chest by a moonbeam! Cecile felt an extremely potent Yin energy entering her and started to freeze her [Extreme Yin Body], which should be impossible!

Cecile sat cross-legged and started channeling her energy and trying to assimilate this powerful energy. Silver frost covered her body and consumed her surroundings; Tatayna transported her further from Yasenia so that she didn’t bother her healing.

The silver ice covered her whole body, and Cecile felt something basic about her changing as if she was losing her humanity by the second, finding everything more and more irrelevant. This feeling of indifference invaded her soul slowly and covered it in ice. Cecile lost more and more emotions as the silver ice pierced deeper into her soul.

For the first time, Cecile felt completely overwhelmed by something. She tried to assimilate this energy faster, trying to stop the process. Sadly, she wasn’t skilled enough! ‘I don’t want to lose my feelings!’

However, the silver ice was unforgiving, That is until it reached the center of her soul.

The frost wave slammed against a golden, silver, and white cocoon where Cecile’s core feelings and persona were. This cocoon didn’t even budge and started to transform slightly into a dragon form. The dragon opened her mouth and roared silently against the invading frost. An invisible shockwave blew the ice away, filling her soul with warmth and a sweet scent that Cecile knew.

Cecile didn’t lose the chance and used the push her connection with her dear dragoness gave her. Her meridians absorbed everything, creating a whirlpool of energy on the outside.

Then she felt something breakthrough *Bang!*

A refreshing and calming feeling filled her as she changed completely. Her Ice element evolved into the Moon element! Then, her constitution also advanced and became [Lunar Yin body], reviving one of the lost constitutions of Ancient times and surpassing the previous one’s quality. Better, her bloodline changed from [Ice phoenix] to [Moon Phoenix].

Cecile’s strength did an enormous qualitative jump!

While Cecile was receiving the baptism of the Moon Goddess, The Sun god raised an eyebrow and mentally asked her, “Are you sure? We can only upgrade a limited amount of people each. Wouldn’t it have been better to use it on her mother in the future?”

The Moon Goddess shook her head. “That child would have died in her next tribulation if I didn’t do this. Although the feeling of losing someone could have strengthened Yasenia… I don’t want her to lose her marked mate so soon. It can be a major hit to her. Moreover, she is a good seed.”

The moon goddess sighed. She continued mentally, “She is the tenth inheritor. Most of them failed on the tribulation to pass the mortal realms; some failed even earlier… Yasenia is the strongest among them and the rarest.”

Change’er continued, “The previous ones were always born as female and male twins. This time, because of the transmigrating soul fate energy Tatyana made Yasenia absorb, a miracle happened, and she was born. We’ve already tried passing this inheritance for a million years, and we only have so much energy left….”

The Sun God nodded in understanding. He looked at Andrea, Evelyn, and Angel for a while, but he shook his head. “Too soon; I don’t know if they will continue to be loyal after some time. They also aren’t that special.”

Then, looking at them, he said aloud, “I hope you don’t stop her from adding mistresses. I don’t care if you don’t want her to have more lovers, but if there are people ready to bear her child in the future, I hope you think about it.”

They couldn’t help but frown, and Tatyana’s face didn’t even change on the surface.

Both of them felt the time approaching, so they turned towards Tatyana. They spoke simultaneously, “Tell Yasenia that her sword is more special than she thinks. Also, tell her to use it while she cultivates; she will receive a great surprise. Finally, tell her to focus on developing the [Celestial Coat]. If she evolves it, she will have another jump in strength.”

Tatyana made a curt bow and said, “Thank you for everything, seniors. We will see each other in the next tribulation.”

Both nodded and dissipated. Tatyana continued looking at the place where they disappeared, with her red eyes glowing. Then she shook her head and mumbled, “They are still beneficial for Yasenia… I should wait a little more….”

She turned towards Angel and the rest, who didn’t have much reaction to their words and smiled a little.

After a whirlwind of freezing energy, they saw that Cecile had awakened. When they looked at her, her demeanor seemed to have changed. Her face changed from the normally inexpressive one to a cold expression. Her gaze became freezing and apathetic, and her gestures elegant.

While the others were apprehensive, Cecile turned towards Yasenia, and her whole being seemed to melt. Her smile became gentle and her gaze tender. “With this strength, I will be able to protect you, my love.”

Evelyn asked, concerned, “Are you okay, Cecile? You frightened me right there.”

Cecile turned towards them, and her face became her previous deadpan expression. “I’m okay, just felt apathetic for everything after opening my eyes, like everything was under me. However, after seeing Yasenia, those feelings disappeared. I think it was because my bloodline became a [Moon Phoenix] bloodline.”

Tatyana approached and nodded. “That’s right. The Moon Phoenix is one of the most indifferent creatures. However, when they find a partner, they are extremely loyal. Some of them even kill themselves after their partners die.

Tatyana analyzed Cecile and said, “Moreover, your ice element has changed to the moon element. To be honest, you have entered the monster category. From now on, you won’t have many who can match you within the same cultivation level. However, expect your cultivation speed to slow down.”

Cecile nodded, and Andrea smiled happily. “That’s good! The stronger we become, the better we can protect our dragoness! Evelyn, Angel, you better pick up the pace! We are leaving you behind, hahaha.”

Angel pouted, “Yasenia won’t leave me behind.”

Andrea approached and hugged her, kissing her forehead. “En, En, Angel is Yasenia’s pampered baby. But… If you aren’t strong enough, isn’t your pampering time at night going to become shorter?”

Angel felt like lightning struck her. She hugged Andrea and pleaded, “Andrea, I want to train harder!”

Andrea smirked. ‘So easy to convince~ She is adorable.’

In truth, Andrea knows that Angel puts a lot of effort into cultivation. However, she focuses more on theoretical knowledge and formations. She also lacks combat experience. Worse, until now, most of her fights have been one vs. many. As such, Angel is quite unskilled when fighting one vs. one.

Andrea didn’t say anything to Evelyn. She was the youngest of them, excluding Yasenia, and was at the same level as Angel. This was enough to tell you how much effort Evelyn put into cultivation.

Moreover, Evelyn has discovered a method to improve faster. It seems that dual cultivation with Yasenia strengthened their foundation quickly, but there is a limit on their foundation’s strength because their bloodline and constitution limited it.

Evelyn realized this, and when her foundation became rock-solid, she sped up her cultivation at the cost of destabilizing it. Then, using their dual cultivation sessions, she made it solid again. Since she told them, the rest followed her advice, and it has worked wonders.

The foundation is the base of your level for those who don’t know, as the name implies. If it is weak, having bottlenecks when advancing is quite normal, meaning even having the energy to break through, you aren’t able to. Moreover, it also influences your energy usage and the strengths of your skills.

The worst thing about having a weak foundation is that heart demons strengthen easier the more fragile the foundation is. Therefore, having a rock-solid foundation was basic if you wanted to live a long life as a cultivator.

Tatyana approached Yasenia’s sword and picked it up. She raised her eyebrow and asked, “What was the level of this treasure?”

Andrea answered, “High-level magical treasure… Whoa! Did it upgrade? It did! Now it is a middle-level earth-rank sword!”

Tatyana passed it to Andrea. She took it from the handle, and her arms lowered, almost dropping it. “It also became heavier… Impressive. It seems to be changing… No… Restoring itself? I would like Master to look at it. I think she may find something useful and tell us what is wrong with this sword.” Tatyana nodded.

Cecile suddenly remembered about Kali and asked, “What are your thoughts on adding one more person to Yasenia’s harem?”

The others looked at her strangely. Evelyn asked back, “What about you?”

Cecile answered clearly, “I don’t want more women around Yasenia.”

Evelyn had an “As expected” look as she asked, completely weirded out, “Why are you asking then? I personally wouldn’t mind one or two more… But I rather she doesn’t add anymore.”

Angel said in her silvery voice, “I think I can accept one more… However, it depends on who is this one more girl. Too many people will shorten my cuddling time with her! Unacceptable!”

Andrea said, “I personally don’t mind how many women Yasenia adds. Moreover, since we are quite close to each other, the ones that enter later would have it harder. You all know that Yasenia isn’t someone who forgets the old when the new comes. She is actually quite the opposite.”

Tatyana said calmly, “I personally don’t mind who she has sex with since it is just another activity at the end of the day. But I gave her five wife spots, any more than that, and I will kill that sixth seductress personally.”

The others got a chill run up their backs. Tatyana locked her eyes on Cecile and said, “Spit it out. Who are you talking about? Moreover, it seems you haven’t spoken with Yasenia about this. Are you hiding something from her?”

Cecile met her red eyes and couldn’t help but feel a chill of fear going down her spine. She answered, trying to keep her voice calm. “It is Kali. She is a girl with a scarred face, a genius in the inner sect alchemy branch, and quite a nice girl.”

Andrea raised her eyebrow, “That girl? I’ve never seen her speak a lot to anybody, and she is normally very… Mysterious.”

Cecile nodded, “I didn’t tell Yasenia because I didn’t want her to shut her down directly. They were doing quite well together and speaking a lot… I told her I would speak it to you girls before telling her anyway.”

Angel asked, surprised. “Didn’t Yasenia realize her feelings? She is quite sharp normally.”

Cecile scratched her cheek and said awkwardly, “I was a little upset at her… Defeat, and she was paying most of her attention to me, cheering me up.”

Tatyana ordered, “Next time, just tell her. I don’t think she would change her attitude even if she knew that. She may even consider her more… I hope all of you are honest with Yasenia in the future.” They nodded and then continued talking about Yasenia a little.
