Chapter 955: Three Years.
After that day, Yasenia went on to complete all the things she had left for later. One of them was to use the transmutation cauldron and experiment with it. [Transmutation] was an art similar to alchemy but done with minerals and items. It was a profession or a practice that manipulated the existing attributes of an item to create completely new ones.
Using enough energy and other materials, increasing the quality of a weapon, armor, robes, or anything like that was also possible.
There was always a chance of failure, which could have several effects on the transmutated items.
Yasenia noticed the following problems happening. The less influential ones were things like materials losing properties, the outcome being weaker, and consuming the supporting items while nothing else happened.
The worst ones went from needing to scrap the item in its entirety to things blowing up in a literal manner. Thankfully, she had been testing with Magical and Low-Level Earth Ranked items. So, the Transcendence Level transmutation cauldron didn't even have a scratch.
The dragoness practiced quite often with it, even setting aside cooking for a while to use that time to learn transmutation. There were few books on transmutation in the massive library that she had in her [Five Realm Spatial Ring]— many fewer compared to other professions.
Other than transmutation, the dragoness chose one day to go visit the Parus Mine. Standing at the core of the mine with crossed arms, she looked at the white and ethereal eastern dragon floating there and muttered. "After I captured you, [Spiritual Soul Mine], I placed you here and allowed your aura to spread through the mine, increasing the quality of the minerals we produced."
The white eastern dragon looked at Yasenia with curiosity. Its facial features were soft and expressive. Knowing that the creature below wouldn't hurt it, it floated down and moved around Yasenia. The dragoness extended her hand to caress the creature's body and commented. "Thanks to you, the profits are increasing daily, and the profit margin is becoming increasingly larger, accelerating without any signs of stopping soon. How do you feel here? Is it crammed? Do you feel good? Is there something that bothers you?"
The white dragon shook its head and rubbed its face with Yasenia's. The dragoness chuckled. "Good." Then, she said. "Although it will be in a few years, that's nothing for someone like you… So, I'll tell you now."
The Eastern Dragon blinked and looked at her."I'll be leaving soon. Remember that your presence alone is enough for the mine to grow constantly; you don't need to do anything actively. And, if someone tries to force you, you can always attack. Okay?"
Yasenia scratched its chin and smirked. "I'll create an escape route that only you will know before I leave. You are here on your own will, not as a slave. If the people controlling the sect misbehave…" Yasenia smirked. "Give them a scare and disappear for a few years."
The Eastern Dragon nodded a few times, showing that it perfectly understood Yasenia's words. Yasenia laughed. "Perfect. Also, I'll leave behind instructions for future Sect Masters, so this problem should never happen. Nobody will come to bother you unless it is urgent." The dragoness realized and spoke. "Speaking of urgent. Look at this and remember it well."
Taking out a white seal with the image of a white Eastern Dragon, Yasenia said. "If someone with this seal tells you about danger, trust their words."
The white dragon nodded, and the dragoness patted its head. "Good. The escape route… How about I build it here? This will be a little secret between you and me, okay?"
The dragon nodded, and Yasenia started working on it. She would come here every day for about an hour, and this activity continued for around three years.
In the meantime, many other things happened. One of them was the girls learning many new things from the [Grand Cosmos Family Art Stele]. Andrea used it to upgrade her own martial art to the next level. Now, each form was several times stronger and deadlier.
The other girls learned the "basic" [Grand Cosmos Martial Art] forms, while Kaleina and Flame slowly gained insight into them. Overall, the strength of the family took a positive step forward.
The children also grew with the years. As they passed, their talents started becoming more noticeable. Although, as Yasenia and some others had expected, Estrella was getting a bit behind in progress.
While her techniques were good, and her overall martial arts knowledge was deeper than the other children, her own body was limiting her. For her age, she was strong, agile, intelligent, and had quick thinking. However, compared to her little sisters, she lacked in the raw strength aspect.
While Estrella was the most similar to Yasenia at birth, she didn't have many of Yasenia's innate advantages. Estrella's soul was not as large as Yasenia's, and she didn't receive as many elixirs as Yasenia did.
Little Yasenia continued to be stronger than all the children at their age. Of course, that would soon not be the truth, as their bodies would start maturing enough to start practicing Body Cultivation.
Dianna and Katarina were fighting against the 17-year-old Yasenia, who was in the later stages of the first cultivation realm. While Dianna and Katarina were born in the second realm, 17-year-old Yasenia was already strong enough to fight above her own level, giving her enough strength to battle those two and beat them every time.
To Dianna's and Katarina's credit, they had gone from fighting the Level 5 Meridian and Dantian Creation Realm Yasenia to the Level 7 one.
Meanwhile, Kaleina and Flame were still having their asses kicked by the 19 and 20-year-old Yasenia. During that time, Yasenia had her first Dual Cultivation sessions, which allowed her to skip many levels really quickly. Moreover, thanks to her bloodline's hidden potential, the dragoness skipped from the fourth to the seventh level of the Body Modification realm. This made quite a big vacuum in the powering-up scale. You either fought the third level second realm Yasenia or the seventh level second realm one.
Kaleina and Flame finally understood how much of a monster Yasenia was during this time. While they themselves were strong, especially Kaleina, who had the [Void] attribute, the dragoness would use extremely complex moves and martial arts accompanying her [Sunrise], [Sunset], [Crescent Moon], and other skills, making her almost impossible to beat.
Of course, they weren't wholly helpless. After all, they were at the half-step of the second realm, but their winning chances were as high as twenty to thirty percent.
During these three years, Tatyana used quite a lot of time to teach Estrella and increase her own strength. Her cultivation speed was ridiculous due to having a body that could feed from her Demigodess-level dantian and having already experienced the Dantian Spiritualization Realm. In just three years, she managed to increase her current body level from Level 2 to Level 9. She was a step away from becoming a half-step.
Naturally, the girls were not nearly as fast as her, Yasenia included. Furthermore, of all the girls, Yasenia was actually the slowest. This was not because she slacked. The cultivation hours for all the girls were approximately the same daily. Arguably, Yasenia cultivated the most because she Dual Cultivated with all the girls.
During a Dual Cultivation session, the cultivators also increased their energy while storing the excess that they couldn't absorb as reserves for later. So, the dragoness was constantly growing while sending her girls to pleasure heaven.
After so many years together, Kali and the rest were completely and utterly at Yasenia's mercy. Their dragoness had learned and enhanced all their weak points, and if their dear dragon lover went serious, forming coherent words would become a problem during the sessions.
They tried to fight back, but their resistance to pleasure could not compare with Yasenia's.
After three years, Yasenia reached the peak of the third level of the Dantian Spiritualization Realm. Her speed was still ridiculously advanced, but it was significantly slowing down as she continued to advance. For example, right after three years, Yasenia was stuck at this peak, unable to advance to the fourth realm because she needed to accumulate egregious amounts of energy.
Yasenia looked into her Dantian and saw a very noticeable mist flowing around her Solar System Dantian. The previously faint smoke had thickened enough to look like a beautiful nebula covering the space in her Dantian.
The problem was that, as Yasenia absorbed more and more energy, the Celestial Energy Star in the middle would use a large part of it while the rest of the planetoids in her Dantian were also absorbing energy passively.
It was not on purpose, but when she tried to cram more and more energy to compress, the nebula-like energy would touch her treasures and feed them. She was quite literally force-feeding their energy even though they were trying their best to leave everything for her.
Of course, Yasenia was frustrated with herself. "Ah! At this rate, I will enter the fourth level after 100 years!"
Soluna appeared by her side and sat between Yasenia's legs with familiarity. The dragoness hugged the cuddly Empyrean Spirit and placed her chin on her head. "Sigh. What do I do, Soluna?"
Soluna giggled. "Who knows? But I am having fun!"
Yasenia pinched her soft cheek and scolded with a smile. "I bet you are, glomping all of the energy I work so hard to collect; my Soluna is having a blast!"
During the last few years, Yasenia and Soluna's bond has deepened a lot. After all, Soluna lived inside Yasenia, so when Yasenia wanted to ask something, she would sometimes share it with her, even if Soluna didn't know about it.
Sometimes, expressing her words helped Yasenia order her thoughts. Soluna laughed while Yasenia pinched her, not feeling any pain as the dragoness did it very softly.
Yasenia sighed and smiled. "Really, you are like another one of my children."
Soluna pouted. "I am not your child!"
The dragoness raised her eyebrow. "I know. Don't worry." Naturally, after so many years, the dragoness realized that Soluna had a bit deeper feelings than friendship toward her. This didn't dampen their relationship, and Yasenia also didn't say anything.
The girls had known this before Soluna made the contract with Yasenia, so that was a sort of signal telling Yasenia to do as she pleased with Soluna's situation.
Yasenia didn't do anything; she would be completely passive. If something appeared between them in the future, well, that was it. If nothing happened, then, their bond would continue to be close. They had literally her entire life to slowly get to know each other, so the dragoness didn't feel any rush like she did with her girls at first.
Soluna spoke. "Yasenia, how about you try to create a little bit instead of doing everything at once?"
The dragoness blinked several times and then looked toward the ceiling. "Sometimes, I am so stupid."
Soluna giggled. "Very cute."
