Chapter 365: Empyreal realm!
"Hnngh~ Tian... wait."
A kittenish moan slipped past Xia Shenyi's lips as she felt Zhao Tian's palms greedily squeezing her boobs, stretching them.
Zhao Tian chuckled softly, placing a kiss on her neck and gently pinched her nipple, twisting it.
"Angh~" Xia Shenyi's body fluttered in his arms and moaned in pleasure.
She placed her hands over his hand and stopped him "Wait.. Tian, I am still angry at you."
"Is that so?"
With a teasing smile, he retracted his hand from her breast and turned her chin to look at him.
He gently caressed her lips with his thumb and Xia Shenyi opened her lips, biting his thumb "Ah... don't bite."
Xia Shenyi eased her teeth and softly began to suck on his thumb, her eyes looking into his calm blue eyes.
"I won't forgive you for this brat, I am your first woman but everyone else is having sex with you before me."
Zhao Tian mumbled "I just told you- *smooch* Before he could utter another word, Xia Shenyi sealed his lips with a kiss.
Pulling back from the kiss, Xia Shenyi let out a sigh and hugged him "Get stronger soon, Tian. I also want to be your woman..."
Zhao Tian hugged her back as she nuzzled her face on his neck "Yeah, maybe you can leave this artifact I have sex with you."
"The black tattoo on your arm will change to silver..."
Xia Shenyi frowned slightly upon hearing this and nodded her head "Hmm... Tian, I love you..." she mumbled placing kisses on his neck.
"I love you too, dear..." a gentle mutter escaped his lips.
Playing with her long black hair, Zhao Tian asked "By the way, how long will it take for Freya to come out."
Xia Shenyi ran her fingers across his robust chest and replied "A few months and maybe a year."
Zhao Tian raised an eyebrow in surprise "That long?"
Xia Shenyi relished in the warmth of his body and nodded her head "You know... that for people in High Stars with long life spans, a month is like three or four days for them."
"Hm..." Zhao Tian nodded, his fingers twirling her hair.
At this time, Xia Shenyi remembered something and said "Don't forget to clear the black pagoda... There must be some rewards that might be useful to you."
"Since there are nine floors just like nine cultivation levels in the transient realm, we would be lucky if we got the Empyrean Pill from the last trial."
"You can easily break through to the Empyreal realm and cultivate the next nine cultivation stages."
(A/n: refer to auxiliary chap, if you are confused)
Zhao Tian frowned slightly as he asked "Shenyi, I remember you saying that Middle star people can't break through because of the low astral energy in the stars."
"But there is a rich amount of astral energy in this artifact, so I can break through without the Empyreal pill?"
Hearing the question, Xia Shenyi explained "Tian, it's not just the astral energy, the life energy of the planet required for the ascension, and most importantly the laws imposed by the heavens to the middle stars..."
"The people in middle stars cannot breakthrough into the Empyreal realm and at most they can reach is Half-Empyreal stage... which is like a bridge between two realms."
She added "You can never cross this bridge as long as you are in the middle star."
She raised her hand, placing her finger on his chest "But on your case, Tian... I am not sure how it is going to work. You are an exception."
"Exception?"
With a nod, Xia Shenyi spoke, her finger trailing down to his abs "First of all, this artifact. This is a separate dimension, so I am not sure will this space be considered a middle star and the Heaven's laws to work here."
"Second, your physique... it is not under the restrictions of the heavens, so you might cross this bridge by yourself."
"And your women will need those Empyreal pills."
Zhao Tian contemplated what he heard and asked "What if I, after stepping into the Empyreal realm, dual cultivate with my women..."
"Will they break through without the Empyreal pill?"
Xia Shenyi's eyes narrowed upon hearing the question "Your seed extinguished a heavenly flame so it may even break the Heavenly laws."
"So only time can tell... for now, just cultivate and complete the trials in the black pagoda."
Zhao Tian gave a faint nod and mumbled "I also need to take sword training from Hua or Yixian."
Xia Shenyi nodded back "En. It would be better than swinging a sword with just brute strength."
"But training in the sword is really hard... as it takes years to comprehend the sword's intent."
She smiled dryly "However, you have this physique... so I guess you can do it faster than others."
"Haha.."
...
Yu Hua kept her head lowered and asked in a respectable tone "Can you please teach me the way of sword, Master?"
Shi Yixian blinked her eyes and stayed silent while Zahra Ashante was amused "Then, teach me too."
Shi Yixian turned to look at Zahra Ashante and muttered "No, you don't have a bit of sword intent... it will be very hard to train you."
E-Eh? So quick! Zahra Ashante blinked her eyes as a deep sigh escaped her lips.
Shi Yixian then turned her eyes to Yu Hua and frowned slightly. She doesn't want to teach her but as someone who stands at the pinnacle of sword intent, it hurts her to see an unpolished talent left alone like this.
She contemplated whether to accept her or not.
Yu Hua looked at the emotionless face of Shi Yixian and was confused 'She is uh... very silent.'
"um..."
Shi Yixian closed her eyes and uttered "I will consider it."
...
*num* *num* Meanwhile, A woman with long pink hair is leisurely sitting on a tree branch as she eats the strawberry in her hand.
"Hm... it really got pretty boring here."
Her pink fox ears quivered "I should destroy this middle star soon and go for the next!"
"I should destroy this barrier first!"
