Chapter 127: The Lake Of Awakening (1)

Kai's face lit up with a smile as they landed on a beach. The place didn't have anything special about it but Kai remembered the various cultivation sessions he had on this beach.

"This doesn't feel like a special place." Nezuko commented as Kai laughed.

"After my visit, people started calling this the beach of relief." Kai said as the others looked at him in confusion.

"Well, I fucked millions of women on this beach so rumors started spreading that if you masturbated on this beach, all your worries will disappear." Kai chuckled as he saw their horrified expressions.

"I cannot tell whether you are joking or not." Sahara said as Kai smiled and looked towards the north.

"This continent has many cities but the capital is the best place to look for information and... other things." Kai said as the others narrowed their eyes at him.

"Yeah the other things include women but I am not looking for them to just cultivate with them. I have to go to the lake of awakening and only they can let me enter it." Kai explained as he teleported them near to the capital.

"The lake of awakening is a place that contains natural yang qi that can make a female elf pregnant. But for a male, the lake of awakening is like a golden treasure that can boost my cultivation beyond limit. I might even reach the imperial core realm because of it." Kai said before anyone could ask him what the lake of awakening was.

"Now disguise yourself. We can't have too many people staring at us, especially me. Risea if you will." Kai said as Risea nodded and handed everyone a pill.

As soon as everyone swallowed the pill, their face toned down a little and their ears became pointy. They basically looked like an average human with pointy ears.

"You are not going to change your appearance?" Riang asked as Kai smiled and his body started to glow.

His hair grew longer and reached his waist. The purple was shining at the end of it as his face became softer and his chest suddenly pressed against his clothes.

His height remained the same but his body rounded, especially at the hips and chest, and a minute later, Kai was unrecognizable.

When the others saw him like this, the first thing that entered their mind was the word girl as he stared at him or her?

"What do you think of this?" Kai, now as a girl, asked them with a smile as their jaws dropped.

"You can turn into a girl!" Risea exclaimed was the first one to come out of the shock.

"Of course I can do this. I told you that I can do anything. Though I can't turn back to my original self until I touch the lake of awakening." Kai replied but the others looked at him suspiciously.

"Kai, if you can turn into a girl, how do we know that you weren't originally a girl who turned into a boy?" Mia asked as the others continued to stare.

"Fine, you got me. This is just an illusion." Kai said as his form flickered and he appeared in his original looks.

"But it looked so real." Watanabe commented as the others nodded.

"It looked real too because you have lower cultivation than me. Anyone with a higher cultivation than me can easily look through the disguise and see that I am a man. And the problem is that there will be plenty of people with higher cultivation than me since the advancement point of the elven realm is Divine core realm." Kai sighed as he took out a sphere from his pendant.

"I was hoping that I could use this in the lake of awakening but if someone catches me before I can reach it, we might be doomed. I will come back after cultivating this." Kai said as she vanished.

But he created a barrier around the girls to hide them before vanishing.

"That was a spiritual core that is usually found in the center of a continent. A spiritual core keeps the continent supplied with spiritual energy and cultivating one can help a person make rapid breakthroughs." Sahara explained about the spiritual core to the mortal realm women as they nodded.

Kai appeared on an isolated island that was nearer to the land of water. When created various formations around himself so that the spiritual energy wouldn't leak outside.

He then sat down and started cultivating the spiritual core. Kai felt his cultivation increase rapidly as the spiritual core started losing its spiritual energy.

When only ten percent of the spiritual energy was left, Kai stopped cultivating the core and sat it down.

He was now at the 6th stage of the Divine spirit realm. Even though the 6th stage would have been a god-tier on the mortal realm, it wasn't that impressive on the elven realm where the breakthrough point was the Divine core realm.

Kai then started searching his pendant for anything that would help him in advancing in his cultivation.

"Come on, I used to have so many treasures in this thing but where are they now that I need them?" He muttered as he found nothing in the pendant.

Kai sighed as he teleported back to his harem. He changed his appearance once again and teleported all of them to an alley in the city.

"So what's the plan?" Riang asked as Kai pointed at a building in the distance.

It was a huge castle with set on top of a hill and it would probably take them many weeks to actually reach it by walking. Thousands of stairs made from stone started from the base of the hill and reached the castle.

"That castle you see is the entrance to the lake of awakening. Not many elves can reach the castle but those who do can get the yang qi from the lake to either give birth to a child or to advance in their cultivation." Kai explained.

"But what if the child is a male?" Nezuko asked as Kai shook his head.

"The yang qi in the lake is unique. It can only give birth to young females and only female elves can get pregnant with the qi." Kai replied as they started moving through the crowd.

[Why didn't you teleport us to the castle directly?] Mariel asked him as she said to all of them.

[You will understand that when we reach the first stair.] Kai replied as they swirled through the crowd.

Some people stopped to take a better look at them but Kai the group was quick to navigate through the crowd so no one could gaze at them longer than necessary. 

But most people didn't spare a second glance at them and continued at their daily business. The ones who had stopped were the woman who had higher cultivations than the group.

They thankfully reached the first stair without any problem. As they stepped on the first stair, the girls gasped as they felt an unbearable pressure on their bodies. 

But the pressure was gone as soon as it had come and Kai smiled at them as he pointed at the castle and the stairs.

"The yang energy is spread throughout the hill and the stairs basically double its strength. Those who cannot bear the pressure can never reach the top. On these steps, every type of technique fails, be it my teleportation or a person's normal gaze meaning that we would be able to stay hidden till the end." Kai explained as they stared at him in confusion.

"The reason you aren't feeling the pressure is because I took it from you. I will now return it to you. Bare it till as long as you can and if it becomes too much to handle just tell me to take it from you." Kai explained as the pressure returned on the girls

They slowly started climbing with the pressure. With the extra weight, it was difficult for them to quickly walk up.

Kai stayed ahead of the group by five stairs with Risea and Sahara two stairs behind him. The others were in the back as they supported each other to continue walking. 

But after walking a hundred steps, Kai suddenly stopped and looked back at them. He Sighed As Nezuko and Yui suddenly collapsed as Mia and Mariel caught them.

"I told you to tell me when the pressure becomes too unbearable." He said as the pressure was lifted from Nezuko and Yui.

Their cheeks flushed in embarrassment as the group continued walking. Since Nezuko and Yui were free of the pressure, they decided to support the rest of the group by walking behind them f someone suddenly collapsed.

"Kai, I can't take it anymore." Kiana told him after a hundred more steps as Kai took the pressure from her too. His speed now decreased from before but his face didn't show any expressions of effort.

"We are taking a rest here." Kai stopped after a few more steps as he saw the group's tired expressions.

Only Sahara and Risea didn't show any expressions of strain as they settled down. While the others fell asleep, Kai looked at the bottom of the hill.

Quite a large crowd had gathered at the bottom as they tried to look at Kai and the group. He smiled at this before he looked at the castle that was still far away.

"I wonder if you are still a guardian." Kai whispered to himself as the night continued.
