Chapter 323 Lilia’s decision

323 Lilia’s decision

While Salazar started giving orders here and there, Aster and the girls left the city.

"You were awesome back there, big brother~", said Kana as she clung to Aster while they were flying towards the valley.

Before Aster could even say anything, Alice hugged his free arm with a somewhat jealous expression, before she giggled.

"Yeah, I bet all those unexperienced girls had fallen for you, I wonder if we should make you wear a veil now".

Aster didn't know whether he should laugh or cry, he didn't even pay attention to the female disciples that appeared, so to be honest he didn't see if they were attracted to him, but considering he indifferently killed someone and also caused two supreme elders to clash, most of them were going to avoid him.

That being said, he of course followed Alice's little game and wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Are we feeling jealous?", he said as he softly caressed Alice's hips.

Eris, Mylene chuckled at the sight of Aster flirting with the girls as soon as the chance presented, Camila on the other hand had a slightly strange contemplative expression for the rest of the travel back to Aster's property.

Once they were back at the castle, Aster sent a message to Erick explaining what happened, since they were seen with him, it was possible for them to be targeted, but that was something Felicia and Tiana were okay with, since they accepted to become a part of the group.

"Thanks for the warning brother, don't worry we won't be going out today… we'll join you tomorrow for the introduction day, if you don't mind of course".

Aster inwardly nodded, after traveling for about a week everyone wanted some rest and fresh air, it was even more marked for Erick who couldn't stand being in the same place for too much time, so he and Tiana were just stretching their legs on the valley.

Felicia on the other hand wasn't that restless, so she simply sat in her room to meditate.



Inside of the castle the girls soon went to do their own things, Alice and Aria went to the training area and were surprised to see that behind the door, there was a vast space which was the result of the same technique used to amplify the space of the castle.

The training room was as large as the city which they visited before, the floor and walls were reinforced, so that even Gate Transcending cultivators couldn't destroy it, apparently those who were appointed to get the ownership of this valley, was considered a candidate to reach the Heavenly realms, that also explained why the supreme elder sided with Aster earlier.

Aster couldn't help but be surprised, whoever built the castle spared no expense, it was a good way to understand how high was his status as a Lord of a valley.

Despite Kana's objections, Sarina dragged her to the training room too, Camila joined them as well, since she was now a Mortal Transcending realm cultivator, she became Sarina's sparring partner.

While the girls started to fight as soon as they set foot in the training room, Aster instead went to the cultivation room.

Even Eris and Mylene whose standards were pretty high, nodded in recognition as they saw the formations engraved in the cultivation room.

Aster tried to follow the runes with his spirit sense and noticed that they extended even outside of the valley, in fact they were probably connected to the whole planet and even to the outer space.

There were a set of different rooms and a table which was the master control for them.

He played with the controls a bit and left the rooms doors open, then after a couple of seconds an insane amount of spirit energy was poured in, but it was understandable as it was gathered from the whole planet.

"Maybe with this…", Aster mumbled before he walked towards the rooms, with a wave of his hand blue flames exploded out of his body which soon took the form of a three-floor pagoda.

Not even a second later the blue particles of purified spirit energy started appearing inside the pagoda, but there was a difference this time, instead of freely roaming like in previous times, the particles were dragged towards the ground, also the color was lighter.

Eris and Mylene suddenly rushed towards the pagoda and after a moment of contemplation, they both touched the particles and a second later it was absorbed inside their bodies.

Both of them immediately jumped out of happiness.

"We can cultivate again!".

"You are incredible Aster".

Ignoring how childish they looked, Eris and Mylene laughed and thanked Aster from the bottom of their hearts as they jumped around.

It was understandable though, after dozens of thousands of years stranded in a plane where they couldn't cultivate, just waiting for the moment their reserves reached zero and their souls disappeared, and now not only they recovered their bodies, but were even given the chance to cultivate again.

Although Aster was happy for them, the truth is that even with the formation gathering spirit energy from all over the planet, the result was just a few particles per minute and while the pagoda would last a couple of hours, he was sure it wasn't enough to make a significant difference for them.

But as long as they were happy with it, then he didn't mind lending a hand, after creating a second pagoda this time for Mylene, he left them to enjoy their cultivation session.

"You should join them too mom, I think it would be a good idea for you to finally recover your energy cultivation", said Aster as he gazed at Lilia.

Lilia hugged her son from behind and then transported them both to the bedroom, they appeared above the bed and fell on it, bouncing a couple of times in the process.

Lilia then got on top of her son and rested her head on his chest.

"Mom?".

Aster knew Lilia better than herself at this point, so it was clear for him that she was acting a bit weird.

He gently caressed her silky long black hair and waited for Lilia to speak, being in her embrace was a bliss by itself anyway, so Aster just closed his eyes and let himself be carried away by the softness of his mother's body.

Not even five minutes later, Aster felt a pair of soft and sweet lips pressing on his, which made him open his eyes, just to see the charming smiling face of Lilia a few centimeters way from him.

"I'll recover once we find a dual cultivation technique, I want to advance with you… I don't know how to explain it, but I have the feeling that I should not advance in the energy path, in any other way darling".

Lilia's pretty eyelashes cutely fluttered as she rested her head on her son's chest, she has been contemplating this strange hunch she had, which made her stop focusing in the energy path and instead giving her all to breakthrough in the body path.

Which ultimately seemed to be the right choice, no one in the history of the Dragon Legacy Heavenly Quadrant has ever reached the peak of the Transcending realms in more than one path.

Even her grandfather, a Heavenly Conqueror, is only at the early stage of the Void Manipulation realm in terms of body cultivation, while she has reached the Gate Transcending realm in body cultivation currently, and while she hasn't recovered her energy path cultivation to her prime, she used to be a Heavenly Transformation cultivator in her prime.

"Listen to her Aster, it's probably something her lineage is saying, just like you they will undergo a fundamental change once the requirements are met".

Rya who was meditating inside Hyperion, stepped in the conversation.

Aster raised an eyebrow, but ultimately, he nodded, if that's what Lilia thought was the best for her, then he will fully support her decision, with the sect functioning as an extension for his searching capacities, he was bound to find what he was looking for sooner or later anyway.

"Now that we solved that, let's rest a bit", Aster placed his hands on Lilia's plump ass and then fondled that perfectly round marshmallow, making Lilia smile.

"What a strange concept of "resting", darling~", although Lilia said that, her bright smiling expression gave her away.

But to Aster's surprise she actually stopped him.

"We'll have some fun later darling, right now mommy has to teach some bad guys a little lesson~".

Before Aster could say anything, Lilia stuck her tongue at him and then disappeared from the room.



"God damn, that bastard!".

At the Blacksmith planet, Ramon was inside his private mansion, the maids who worked here were already dismissed, he was covered in bandages, although the injuries he suffered were pretty light, after he was saved by the supreme elder, she actually beat him up to let out her anger, leaving him in a miserable state.

So, once he returned to his mansion, he finally exploded destroying things here and there as he contacted her son to prepare a proper burial for Hector.

Ramon sat on a chair and gritted his teeth, no matter how much he tried to calm down he just couldn't swallow this humiliation.

"Just you wait, I will make you all die in the most horrible way possible", while Ramon was poisonously imagining in how to get rid of Aster, he suddenly fell to the ground as blood was expelled from his mouth, nose and eyes.

While he felt as if his body was being crushed by a planet, his ears on the other hand were perfectly fine, so hear a woman's voice coming from behind him.

"What a shame, you could have been a decent whetstone for my darling, if only you didn't attack him in front of me".

"Who…", Ramon couldn't even finish speaking when his body became a bloody mess, which was then consumed by a black flame with red borders until there was nothing left.

Lilia nodded happy with the result, she closed and opened her hand a couple of times, lately her destruction attribute has become wilder, originally, she didn't want to interfere as she was sure Aster could handle being targeted by Ramon, but after seeing him attacking her son in front of her, her blood boiled and while she kept her cool on the surface, deep inside she wanted to rip him to pieces.

"I guess I'm closer to a dragon than to a human than before… whatever, I'm a better partner for my darling now~".

Lilia then disappeared without leaving behind any evidence that she was here, she perfectly didn't care about the fact that Ramon's soul lamp extinguished, meaning the whole sect will be notified about his death.
