Reaching the Heavenly Realm!

Nearly a year passes, and all your partners, save your children, have finally reached the immortal realm. Your children themselves have also recently reached the ancient spirit realm, with Ye Wu lagging behind sightless, still being in the emperor spirit realm. On this day you enter retreat inside the miniaturized world bead, calling back all of your doubles. You then began the wild absorption into the third era. The ying absorption from Aki also drastically increases as well. The heavenly seductive lotus receives another power boost, making your appearance so alluring that it would cause ordinary people lose their mind in how attractive you are. For this reason, you restrain your appearance, as you don’t wish to accidentally make people lose their minds. Your seductive and space abilities make another leap in strength with your breakthrough as well.

As you awaken from the breakthrough, you see numerous people around to watch, hoping to gain insight into the heavenly way from your breakthrough, or simply waiting to resume cultivation. This time you form five thousand doubles to accompany them, as you head back home. You cultivate within your family for several days, as you plan to leave shortly after. Since Asano still has an insatiable desire to cultivate with you, you take her into the miniaturized world bead so that she can continue cultivating with one of your doubles, and with that you head out. After shifting to edge of void of your world cluster, you send your space **** out to form a void corridor through the turbulent void between the the neighboring world cluster. The process is quite difficult, taking several days, but you succeed. The void corridor is extremely stable, and can likely last several years. You then pass through, traveling the immense distance in a instant. Upon arriving, you quickly assess the cluster to try and find where it’s heavenly void corridor is located. As expected it’s within the hub world of the cluster. You immediately shift near it.

When you arrive in the world, you find yourself in a throne room. Many guards around you quickly ready their weapons, preparing to strike. You don’t pay them any attention as their only ancient spirit realm cultivators, having no chance to even scratch you. Instead you look to the Queen that sits on the throne. She’s only an ordinary second era cultivatior, making her significantly weaker than you. She immediately realizes this, motioning her guards to halt.

“Your majesty! What can I do for you?” The Queen asks, fearing what your motives can be. Not daring to show any disrespect.

“I’m Ichicka Yang, I come from a neighboring world cluster! Our heavenly void corridor was destroyed, so I’ve come to use yours.

“Don’t you know that only a fifth era cultivator can safely pass through the corridor without their souls being wiped out? I’m afraid you would simply die if you attempted to pass through it!” The Queen explains.

“That may be the case for ordinary cultivators, but I’m a master of space. It should be quite simple for me to pass through.” You explain.

“Master of Space!” The Queen exclaims in surprise. With the rarity of the dao of space, it makes sense that she’d be surprised to find out your a master of space.

“Yes! So can I use your Heavenly void corridor?” You ask.

“Yes you may! Though I have to ask if you would consider bringing me along?” The Queen asks. Although it be to dangerous to take her along normally, she could travel in the miniaturized world bead. This would be quite risky though, as the bead is extremely precious, so it’s best if fewer people knew about it. Though exposing it to her wasn’t necessarily out of the question.

“Why would I bring you along?” You ask.

“To be honest, aptitude is simply insufficient to reach the fifth era in this world, if I wish to improve my cultivation and aptitude, my only hope is venturing into the heavenly realm. I’m willing to be your servant for a time in compensation! Or perhaps you have another proposal for what you want!” The Queen explains. You feel bad for her, but a servant isn’t worth it, causing you to shake your head. Seeing this, she suddenly turns ****.” Please! I’ll really do anything! I’m nearly at the end of my lifespan, and if I don’t reach the third era soon, I’ll perish!” She begs.

“I may have an offer, but it would need to be discussed alone!” You say, causing her to become hopeful.

“You heard him! Everyone out!” The Queen declares, causing the guards to quickly scramble out.” So what is this offer?” She asks, hopeful that she can fulfill it.

“You see, I possess an artifact that would allow me to bring you, but it would be problematic if people in the heavenly realm were to learn of it. So I would require you to form a soul pact in return.” You say.

“Is that all?” The Queen asks, in disbelief that you would offer her such a great service for practically nothing.

“Yes! Although I have another offer as well! You see, I possess another artifact that grants tremendous benefits to those I cultivate with. With it, your aptitude should greatly improve, as well as actually improving your cultivation. Since your worrying about dying, I believe cultivating with me would be significantly more likely to raise your cultivation in time!” You say.

“Then would you please cultivate with me then?” The Queen asks.

“I would at least after we make a soul pact to keep my secrets!” You say. She then introduces herself as Che Yi, as you introduce yourself before forming the pact. You then settle her into the bead with a double to cultivate with her. After that, you find the heavenly void corridor at the back of the room, before hopping in. Traveling through such a powerful, naturally formed void corridor helps you gain further insight into the dao of space. Afterwards, you find yourself in the middle of forest. You sense some rather strong monster beasts around, but not enough to become to concerned over. You also notice the unique nature of the world qi already starting to convert your immortal qi into heavenly qi. With your extraordinary aptitude, the process is relatively fast, though it’ll still take centuries at it’s current rate. You also notice the miniaturized world bead slowly absorb the world qi, it’s world law slowly working to gain the heavenly nature of heavenly realm’s world qi.
