Chapter 608: Five Beasts and a... Holy? Person.
When Sarah heard the news, the news reached a mountain filled with powerful beasts.
Over the last three years, the previously wild creatures had organized and created groups.
The powers in the surroundings were surprised and learned that five youths had appeared and led them with very progressive methods.
After investigating, they couldn't discover much besides that their high-level bloodlines and intelligence were outstanding.
On the mountain range, these five youths were listening to a tiny rodent. A rare race of beasts that maintained their mortal size while increasing their strength.
"Five Divine Heirs, we've learned something about the person you've been searching for!"
One of them, a tall and voluptuous woman with large green draconic wings and a long tail with emerald-like scales, lifted her eyebrow. "Oh? What did you find?"
"Yes! We've discovered the existence of the Astral Sky Sect. A power that will open in the near future."
A half-black, half-white-haired youth approached the voluptuous and tall dragon woman. "He beat me to it, it seems. What do you think we should do, Laurina?"
Laurina pondered seriously, but her wagging tail because of happiness didn't escape their eyes. "That's really good. It has been a few years since I saw little sister Yasenia's delicious body- cough. I mean, since we managed to gather and unite all the senior beasts of this mountain range, and their strength is not bad, we should guide them all toward little sis Yasenia so that we can become her strength."
Gorena, a very tall, muscular, but gentle-looking woman, smiled. "All of them? What about the natural resources here?"
Laurina looked up at her and spoke. "Just take everything Earth ranked and above. Moreover, you are an [Island Turtle]. Can't you transform and float most of the things we can't store in our rings on your back?"
Gorena softly chuckled and turned her head. "Frisk, can you help me?"
Frisk, a short blonde man, nodded. "Sure, big sis Gorena. I'll summon a cloud below you to help you during the journey."
The half-black-half-white-haired man asked. "We can tell those oldies to help us, no? A few of them can't take their human forms either way."
The last one, a blue-haired, slender, and cold-looking woman, sighed. "Razar, you know that we should be respectful. They might have low-level bloodlines. But at least they are our seniors."
The man snorted. "Whatever. Can you not be so serious all of the time, Sirae? Being an [Ice Phoenix] doesn't mean you must act like an iceberg."
Sirae rolled her eyes and turned toward Laurina. "When do we leave?"
Laurina smiled. "Now! I hope Yasenia likes her new three thousand subordinates."
Frisk tilted his head. "Aren't there a few more?"
Laurina blinked her green slit eyes. "But those in the Mental Nourishing Realm and above are about three thousand, right? Those below that level aren't worth it as a subordinate. They must train first!"
Gorena patted Laurina's head. "Don't say something you don't feel aloud. I know you consider them close. What if they hear you? They would be heartbroken, right?"
Laurina pouted but pushed her head against the big hand on her head. "Big sis Gorena, I'm not your child. Also, I knew it already. No need to remind me!"
Gorena smiled. "I know. But I'm the oldest, so I need to take care of all of you. You also call me big sis, so I'll treat you as my little sis."
The other four snorted, but their eyes had a smile. In recent years, facing difficulties together has brought them much closer to each other.
Lorena, the [Nature Dragon], laughed and pointed southeast. "Let's go! Destination: Yasenia's sect!"
The five heirs from the beast clans of the Sky Continent and their three thousand subordinates gained in Distancia moved toward the Astral Sky Sect while escorting about nine thousand younger ones.
When the grand total of 12,000 beasts moved, the earth quaked at their steps, and nobody dared stop them.
Many surrounding cities became highly alert, thinking that a beast tide was approaching. Thankfully, the thousands of enormous beasts ignored all cities and continued in one direction, taking detours not to enter other people's territories.
While this beast army moved across, there was another very hidden place in the southern part of the continent that got information about Yasenia's presence and had previous knowledge about her.
The place was in the middle of a desert, in a cave hidden by complex formations that appeared nothing like the Distancia Continent's formations.
Underground there was a city built underground with a large temple in the middle.
The structures were mainly white, with flames gently adorning the giant pillars.
Looking inside, in the middle of the largest room, a room with incredibly dense energy, a gorgeous woman wearing ceremonial clothes sat there and cultivated with resources gathered by her followers.
The aura around her was profound and mysterious, and her whole appearance made her feel holy.
One tall man approached and kneeled with reverence. This man was, surprisingly, a human. "Lady Xian, we've heard about the demonic creature who hurt your esteemed self in the past."
The woman slowly opened her eyes, and a mysterious aura filled with Fate energy filled the surroundings. "Oh? Did you find out about that lizard woman? Is she close to us?"
The man was confused and commented. "Lady Xian, we've learned that she is a pure dragon, not a lizard."
The beautiful woman's black hair flowed with anger, and she said in a dignified manner. "A dragon is nothing more than a lizard with wings!"
The man was slammed onto the ground by the pressure of the aura. "Y-Yes, it was my fault. Don't be angry, Holy daughter."
The woman's anger diminished. "I lost my composure. That woman is the enemy of all humans, and she only wants to kill all of us."
The man nodded with a maddened fervor. "There is no need to apologize! This one is stupid, and I didn't know better!"
The woman nodded, satisfied. "You are the second strongest, Wulf. No need to call yourself stupid."
The beautiful woman, Tang Xian, followed. "Have you discovered anything about the Holy Son, Long Baidi?"
The man shook his head. "We are the only human power of this continent, and gathering information is difficult. Yet, we've received information about a secret realm opening."
The woman nodded nonchalantly. "Is the cultivation limit known?"
The man nodded. "If we are not incorrect, it should be up to the peak level of the Ethereal Soul Body Realm."
Tang Xian muttered. "So, up to half-steps of the Unification Realm." She asked again. "When does it open?"
The man commented. "Lady Xian, we've heard that it will open in about a year and a few months."
Tang Xian calculated and smirked. "Those half-bastards think they are better than us, humans? Hahaha, I'll show them what living at the bottom of a well means. Our counterattack begins in the secret realm! It's time we take this continent back from the clutches of the impure beast humans."
Tang Xian looked back at the only Mental Nourishing Realm human below her and nodded. "You can leave."
The man nodded and left.
Then, she closed her eyes and used her highly developed Fate attribute to feel the future.
'Hmm, I still feel nothing if I try to calculate that bitch or anyone around her. Does she have a Fate master by her side? Long Baidi… I also feel nothing. After that day when I suddenly felt his presence disappearing, I haven't been able to learn anything about it.'
The woman opened her beautiful eyes and sighed. "Even with my [Fate Intent] already at the second level, I'm still unable to perceive them. Well, let's continue to cultivate. I'm a chosen one from the prestigious Tang Family with powers and treasures that these people can only imagine. I'm a superior being controlling the strongest attribute, Fate!"
She smiled with a saintly expression and stated. "This continent will eventually fall to its knees under my influence."
Her aura burst outward, revealing a stunning eighth-level Unification Realm Cultivation on the verge of breaking through to the ninth.
The thousands of humans who felt the wave of energy looked toward the temple with fervent expressions, many kneeling and muttering prayers and thanks toward their Holy Lady.
Whatever treasures she had found in that cave, they had helped her cultivation speed be absurdly high.
A few days back, back in the Astral Sky Sect, Yasenia arrived at the place where the black pillar originated.
It was an open area outside the sect's boundaries. Yasenia heard that it was in case the formation collapsed. The dragoness blinked. 'What did she create? We are about five hundred kilometers away from the mountain basin. Does this have that much destructive energy if it goes wrong?'
Tatyana was floating in the middle of a massive formation that could be comparable to a city in size.
Unlike the sect formations and other similar ones that used repetition and patterns to cover large expanses of terrain, this formation was this large without those tricks, showing levels of complexity Angel could only dream of achieving right now.
A transparent black pillar of energy continuously shot upward as if the beam pierced the heavens.
Tatyana saw Yasenia arriving and smiled. "I see that this time you listened~."
Yasenia pouted. "You told me not to come until a massive pillar appeared, so I will listen to you."
Tatyana laughed. "Tell that to the Abyssal Horror that slapped you half-dead."
Yasenia blushed a bit. "A-Anyway, what is this all about? Aren't you worried seniors will arrive here to investigate?"
Tatyana smiled coldly, with dignity and a regal aura behind her words. "They can come if they want. Anyway, this formation has been successful."
Our dragoness was surprised. "What does it do? You told me that with it, we can become a first-ranked power, right?"
Angel and the others arrived while they spoke and waited beside Yasenia.
Tatyana answered. "Well, you'll see. From now on, don't distract me. This thing is complicated to control with my seventh-level Unification Realm Cultivation."
Mirrory muttered. "I'm surprised you can control it at all."
Valeria nodded and revealed. "This is at least a peak-level Transcendence Realm formation. Maybe higher…"
The girls were stunned.
Angel looked at how the formation's symbols, lines, and lights ethereally moved and transformed under Tatyana's peerless control. "So many processes at once, such mastery… Oh my heavens, it is so beautiful."
Yasenia looked at Angel and saw that her cheeks were rosy because of excitement, making her feel amused.
'I wonder what will happen?'
************************************************
Andrea: Wow… I want to know what will happen.
Author: :3
Yasenia: Hum… what do you girls think?
Evelyn: Hm… A formation that took Tatyana almost four years to complete? Even if she is just in the Unification Realm, I don't dare underestimate it.
Tatyana: Hehehe, you'll see the next chapter.
Author: Either way, I summon you!
Randomplant: Hello!
Angel: Hello~.
Randomplant: I wanted to ask Sarah's system something!
Author: Hmm… Let me summon it.
System: [Host? Analyzing events, no information, unable to determine the current situation. Entering emergency-]
*Bonk*
Author: Stop. You are not in danger.
System: [Creature made of inestimable power. Chances of winning zero percent.]
Author: Listen to this question and answer it.
Randomplant: Hey, system. As a mission target becomes stronger and time passes, does the mission still give the same reward, or can the reward be altered by different conditions?
System: [Unable to answer. Not enough Authority.]
Randomplant: Um… Author, can you do something about that?
Author: As I did with the gods that decided not to answer, I will not intervene.
Randomplant: Ugh… This place is not under Heaven's influence, you can answer.
System: [Unable to answer. Questions from Non-host will not be answered.]
Randomplant: Tsk. It's a wasted question.
Author: Anything more?
Randomplant: Sigh, nothing more. Thanks for summoning it.
Author: No worries~. This is all for today, little lurkers~.
