Archwizard K’s Journey In The Cultivation World

Case 82: Their story of a year later.

The Central Divine Realm was covered in snow.

At a certain teahouse, there was a woman occupying half of a table on the second floor. She blankly gazed out the window, watching the busy people passing by.

As a cultivator, the last thing she lacked was time. 

Letting her thoughts drift, she slowly closed her eyes. Then, she could overhear the other customers' murmurs.

''Hey, did you hear the news?''

''What news? You need to be specific!''

''Come on! There is only one so significant I would mention! Didn't you hear White Lotus Sect's divine beasts?''

''You mean the legendary nine-tailed fox?''

''No, no. They said that there is another one now—a baby phoenix!''

''A phoenix?! I thought phoenixes disappeared a long time ago??''

''It's credible!''

''Woah... do you think the Immortal League would go for them? They'd want to hog the precious stuff.''

''Nah, that's too outrageous.''

''Yeah, you're right. With such monstrous presences behind that little sect... well, it's not little anymore, I guess.''

''At this point, I'm wondering why they aren't Immortals yet.''

White Lotus Sect.

An otherwise unremarkable immortal sect if not for the existence of the Crimson Tower standing within its territory. Thanks to the tower's master, Kierra, the sect had produced exceptionally powerful cultivators, or wizards, as Kierra would call them, in a short time.

Wielding mana, they appeared much more versatile and destructive than ordinary cultivators. This 'wizard' faction quickly grew to become the dominant in the power scene, bringing them fame and much interest.

Outside attempts to interfere all ended in failure as the crew running White Lotus and the Crimson Tower could easily obliterate just about any opponent, not to mention their deep connection with Emei and Shaolin.

''It's... about time, right?''

The woman asked with a subdued voice.

''Hm.''

She only received a short answer, but it was enough. When she opened her amethyst eyes, she could see another woman sitting across her. She had long black hair that flowed to her waist and a wide hat with a lowered brim.

Perhaps the hat obstructed her eyes, but it also highlighted her succulent red lips.

Kierra quietly watched the streets as she contemplated her situation.

''...''

Over the last year, through repeated bonding with her beloved partners, her cultivation base soared beyond imagination. She had just broken through to the Soul Transformation Stage, making her one of the top cultivators in the world.

Golden Core Stage. Nascent Soul Stage.

That was two whole stages in one year!

Of course, her partners also got boosted, some arguably more than what she had. Recently, Mie Xieren, who was approaching the limit of the mortal realm, began to show some real strength!

That was pure cultivation. If one counted magic...

Kierra's harem could take on the whole world, and the archwizard was proud of them. According to the information the Heavenly Shura provided, calamity, one of an otherworldly caliber that this world hadn't seen before, would soon strike this realm.

The archwizard was confident. With August and her harem by her side, even if the enemies were unreasonably strong, they could handle them.

If there were something that bothered Kierra, it would be Diamante.

For a whole year, Kierra hadn't seen a single feather of the phoenix princess. For the first time in a long while, she felt powerless. If she had obediently opened a gate connecting the two worlds instead of going just by herself...

''Hah...''

Either way, Kierra had no choice but to keep trying. She had to get even stronger!

''Hm...''

On a certain morning, when everybody else was still sleeping.

Kierra stood in her kitchen wearing only her lingerie and a single piece of apron, absentmindedly making breakfast for her loves. Since she had so many women, it was impossible to give them all the love they deserved. 

So, seemingly small gestures like making them a meal became Kierra's way of expressing her love. Besides, they absolutely loved it when she appeared 'wifey' like this.

Guided by the food's delicious scent, one by one, the women slowly gathered.

''Morning~!''

August, also wearing little on her body, hugged Kierra from behind, burying her face into her lover's neck.

''Good morning.''

Kierra only responded lightly while the others began to appear. Yu Chen smacked her lips when she saw her spot had already been taken, followed by a sleepy Tian Yun with her eyes practically closed.

They didn't originally need to sleep, but the exhaustion coming from having to match Kierra and August's game was too great.

''Master... would you like milk?''

''Please...''

After the pair of master and disciple settled down at the table, a relatively sober Mie Xieren walked in with a glass of iced tea. Through almost two years with Kierra, she had fully embraced her crush's casual culture, leading to her increasingly informal demeanor.

The way she dressed indoors... was something everyone else from the Central Divine Realm needed to gasp at!

Finally, there were two younger girls. They couldn't keep up with the intense bed activities recently, so they were still sleeping. This happened regularly, and Kierra would always wake them up later.

''Breakfast is ready~''

Dragging a lethargic August along, Kierra turned around with her food. Upon witnessing the sight of three women, who used to be so reserved and shy, wearing skimpy clothes and acting as though they weren't embarrassed in the slightest, the archwizard couldn't help but smile.

Of course, this was largely due to the fact that everyone had seen all of each other in bed, but it was a big leap regardless!

It was now winter, but Kierra's heart felt like spring.

''Feed me~''

''...''

If it wasn't for this giant baby named August!

''You're five hundred years old; you don't need to be fed!'' Kierra sternly scolded August.

''I'll starve to death, then.''

Without a care in the world, the Sword Empress—the undisputed leader of the most powerful empire in the world, threw away her dignity and then threw her face at Kierra's ample bosom.

Kierra: (╯｀□′)╯~╧╧

Why does my lover act like a child?!

Really, what was the difference?

When Diamante did this stuff, Kierra could only see a fluffy dog trying to get its owner's attention, which was extraordinarily adorable, but when August did it, she felt like a sinister wolf was preying on her instead.

If her chest were to be taken anyway, she would rather it be Diamante who took it!

Kierra blamed it all on August. 

'This good-for-nothing idiot, only knows how to please women...'

Thanks to her, the archwizard was now sad about Diamante again. 

Either way, it was a mystery why her beloved phoenix princess hadn't chased after Kierra's mana signal. Maybe... she got fed up with chasing Kierra?

'That's right...'

No matter how heavy her love was, if faced with constant rejection... 

Realizing that if she ever lost Diamante, it would be entirely her fault, Kierra sighed. She was... stupid. For leaving such a wonderful woman.

''Eat up, eat up! The first wave will arrive soon!''

''Don't act like you cooked the meal...''

Tian Yun and Yu Chen's banter snapped Kierra back to reality. Losing Diamante was bad enough, but there were more pressing issues that needed to be resolved.

At this point, the realm above was already in chaos.

Unknown, unidentified extraterrestrial beings were invading that realm in addition to the toxic infection rampaging. This was according to Wen Zhuwei, the Heavenly Shura. If their predictions were right, the first major wave of these creatures would come soon.

If Kierra wanted to preserve this world... she would need to help the Immortals.
