Chapter 99 - 98

Xia Qingyue who saw Issei's face for the first time went into daze...

"See, Master wasn't lying when I told you about his otherworldly appearance, wasn't I?" Chu Yueli smiled proudly at the dumbfounded Xia Qingyue.

Chu Yueli brought her to see Issei's face and her reaction is just like Chu Yueli expected. 'No woman should be able to resist his charm' she thought to herself 'With this, her heart should waver a bit and the chance of her to develop feelings for him should increase as well...' She added.

She really wanted the best for Xia Qingyue... Even though she admitted that she also has developed some feelings for him but that's not the issue at the moment.

She's pretty sure a man of his caliber won't be content or should she say, won't be allowed to only have one wife... You could say it's her intuition as a woman but she gets a feeling that is the case.

Indeed, Chu Yueli's so-called intuition hit a home run since he has multiple wives already but even she won't expect the number of his wives are surpassing 4 digits... Who can expect that?

And if he indeed only have 1 wife then it won't be long for that said wife looking for backup since she won't be able to handle him on her own... Not like it would change anything even if there are 1000 women challenging him at the same time but at least it would satisfy him to a certain extent.

But that's only a false assumption since even though Issei could last for an unknown amount of time on the bed. He can control his libido if he wanted to so if his wife reached her limit then he would switch off his libido as well.

He only wanted to satisfy them so he is more than willing to accompany them no matter how long they wanted it...

"Now Qingyue... Even though Master wishes that she could make you stronger on her own... But Master knows that our sect Elder is more capable than Master" Chu Yueli smiled apologetically towards Xia Qingyue.

Xia Qingyue was about to say something but Chu Yueli stopped her with a gesture of her hand.

"It's fine, I'm not feeling depressed or anything knowing that our sect Elder is more capable than Master... The reason why I'm telling you this is because Master wanted the best for you. So if you are taught by him directly then Master is certain that you will be able to achieve greater heights and even make your dream come true even faster." She smiled fondly at Xia Qingyue.

Xia Qingyue's eyes glimmered brightly after hearing Chu Yueli words.

"It is Qingyue blessing being able to become Master disciple... Know that Qingyue won't accept another Master in this life and only have Master as Qingyue's Master. Even if Qingyue were to learn from others such as our sect Elder, Qingyue will never forget Master benevolence for Qingyue" She bowed respectfully towards Chu Yueli.

"Aiii... Silly child... You don't have to do this..." Chu Yueli felt warm after hearing Xia Qingyue's words.

Issei who's in the distance could hear their conversation and he smiled thinly at their interaction.

Sadly, there's no one saw his smile just now or they would've become lovestruck because of how enchanting that smile of his was...

Chu Yueli then urged Xia Qingyue to interact with Issei... 'With this, they should become closer... Just as planned' Chu Yueli smiled slyly watching Xia Qingyue who timidly walking towards Issei direction.

She then left the area to let them be... On her way back, she came across a group of female disciples... She assumes that they are heading towards Issei location as well to "Learn" from him seeing how they fidgetting around and the slight blush on their cheeks...

There's only one person able to make most of their sect disciples act this way... They usually always seems collected and calm.

She dismissed them saying that Issei is currently a little bit busy much to their disappointment...

Chu Yueli grinned slyly once more while apologizing towards them in her heart since this is Qingyue's time to shine.

Issei gets a lot more visitors nowadays... Whether it's her fellow 7 fairies or Feng Qianhui and Gong Yuxian themselves, they would often visit him on the pretext they have some question about their cultivation...

Sure her elder sister, Chu Yuechan genuinely visited him wanting to ask some questions about cultivation but don't think she can't see that Chu Yuechan expression during their interaction with each other glow brighter than usual...

She still has her typical calm face but Chu Yueli as her little sister could tell that her elder sister is feeling happy inside... She also often flashed a thin smile at Issei without realizing it.

After all, Chu Yuechan is known to dislike men and ALWAYS wears a veil whenever he travels outside. Even Chu Yueli herself sometimes doesn't wear a veil when she's traveling outside.

Issei's position in the sect has already surpassed Feng Qianhui and Gong Yuxian. He may have refused Feng Qianhui's request to become their new sect Master but inside their mind, he already becomes their new sect Master.

Feng Qianhui informed Issei of the worth of the but even after knowing its worth he still has no interest in it and said that they can have it.

They can only smile wryly at his nonchalant attitude... They started wondering if there's something that could pique his interest in this world...

With this profound crystal and all those herbs, their sect grew even further... Their sect may be the smallest compared to the other 3 big sect but they make it up for their strength hence the reason why they're 2nd in rank even though their sect disciple number is on the low side.

They're also always stuck 2nd in rank during the but now they can finally claim 1st place thanks to Issei help.

Xia Qingyue arrived a few steps behind Issei location.

She hesitates a bit seeing him calmly standing in front of her thinking that she might be disturbing him but she finally steeled herself to greet him.

"Qingyue greets sect Elder" She bowed in courtesy.

"Um." Issei turns his head slightly and nods at her greeting and then he turned his head to look to the front once more.

Both of them then went silent for a bit after that... Xia Qingyue doesn't really know how to interact with the opposite gender other than her own family member so she started thinking of what to say to Issei but thankfully Issei is the first to break the silence.

"Tell me, Junior sister Xia Qingyue... For what reason do you want to become stronger?" He asked her while still looking to the front.

"...Qingyue wanted to become stronger because Qingyue wanted to protect her family from harm's way" Xia Qingyue was a bit taken aback but then she calmly answered his question.

"Hmm... Is that it?" Issei proceeds to ask her.

Xia Qingyue went silent after that... It's as if she's struggling with something inside of her.

"If you want to become stronger with that purpose in mind then at your current pace its only a matter of time before you achieve your dream... But I have a feeling that you are rushing against time... As if you're rushing to chase after something or perhaps someone... Can you tell me the real reason for your desire to grow stronger?" He finally turns around to face Xia Qingyue face to face.

Xia Qingyue doesn't dare to meet his gaze and look down for a moment before she answered him.

"...Yes" Her face went a little downcast.

"..." Issei waited for her to continue.

"It's because of... My mother..." After listening to Issei's words, she did not choose to hide, but very naturally, with words that flowed like the mist, she said, "Father and mother's meeting was very magical... When father met mother outside of the city, she was in a coma and her entire body was covered with blood. After she woke up, she did not have any of her memories, and her body was extremely weak... Then, mother married father, and because her body was weak, giving birth to me was very difficult, and I narrowly escaped death..."

She stopped for a second before she continued her story, "When I was four years old, mother suddenly regained her memories... She left, like a fairy she flew away and left... When she left, she hugged me and my brother while crying pitifully, saying that if she didn't leave, she would bring calamity to the whole family. She said that where she was going, was a place called the . It was a place that we could never get to... After that, even though father stayed strong, I often see him shed tears quietly when he was alone. After more than ten years, he never remarried... Brother was so young and ignorant, but when growing up, the thing that he envied the most, was that other people had mothers..."

"?" Issei muttered in a low voice. "Do you know what kind of place it is?"

He can feel that there's indeed a higher realm or should he say higher world than the current .

But since his strength is not fully healed he can't carelessly open a void rift or his injury might become worst. He might be able to open a spatial opening but that's only limited to the current world/realm.

He still cannot travel between dimensions as of yet.

Xia Qingyue absent-mindedly shook her head: "I don't know. I have researched many ancient books, but I never encountered this name."

"I see..." Issei was a little disappointed since she doesn't have the knowledge to get there.

He thought that the upper realm which so-called the might have thicker energy and natural energy. If he could get there then his recovery rate will increase.

"The reason you pursue profound power is so that you can reach a level high enough to learn this name, correct?" He decided to put these thoughts away for now.

"Mn..." Xia Qingyue nodded slightly before raising her snow-white face to look at Issei's flawless face: "I only want a reunited family. Even though this goal is very far, I believe that as I climb higher and higher, I will inevitably be able to see the silhouette of my mother one day..."

"...I won't say anything else if that is your true wish but remember to not lose sight of your true purpose in your search of power... Don't let yourself led astray by the very same power you achieved." Issei solemnly said towards her to which she nodded solemnly as well, "Qingyue understand."

"...Follow me" Issei went silent for a little bit before he started walking towards a big open field but he doesn't forget to tell Xia Qingyue to follow him.

He then started teaching Xia Qingyue about his understanding of the profound way and then he also teaches her the way of the sword since she seems to be a sword user.

Issei asked Xia Qingyue to demonstrate her sword skill.

She executed her sword skills one by one in front of Issei...

"Your sword arts have too many useless flowery movement in it... A sword is used to kill your enemy and protect those who stand behind you. When you use your sword, you use it with the intent to kill."

He picks up a tree branch and told Xia Qingyue to attack him with everything she has.

She doesn't feel offended at all seeing Issei only uses a tree branch to fight her since she knows that he's way stronger than she is.

But she never expects that with only a tree branch he can easily deflect everything she throws at him... Even the tree branch itself stays intact without any sign of about to break. It still looks brand new... She thought that she could at least break the tree branch...

Although, she could faintly see a black looking energy surrounding it...

"This technique is called " Issei explained seeing her confused looks.

"?" She muttered curiously.

"Um... Try using your profound energy to coat your sword" He instructed.

Xia Qingyue then does just that but she obviously fails. Her profound energy will instantly scatter away the moment it leaves her body... She then tries again but the result is still the same...

She can only confusingly look at Issei.

"Try to imagine your profound energy as a part of your body instead of thinking it as external energy." He calmly said towards her while demonstrating it from the start...

Then they continue to train with this fashion until night comes... Chu Yueli who saw this from the distant nodded in satisfaction.

The other girls are also watching them from the distance and they also tried copying their training but to no avail... Not surprising since it's not a technique that could be mastered in a single day.

Issei enhances his voice on purpose since he realizes their presence and he thought that he might as well.

Then he thought of something during their training and called Xia Qingyue: "Junior sister Xia Qingyue, come here for a minute."

Xia Qingyue stopped her practice and walked in front of him.

"Let me try something..." He put his index finger on her forehead.

A moment later, Xia Qingyue becomes completely flabbergasted since she somehow gains knowledge of the .

She hasn't gone to the as of yet since the whole sect is busy dealing with the crystal and herbs Issei brought into the sec. They are having a minor headache since the one who brought them all this is not interested in it...

He just told them that they can have it and consider it done just like that... Even now they are hesitating to use all of these treasures... They decided to only use 30% of it for now and keep the rest of the 70% for later just in case he will change his mind...

Even with this 30% share, they could last for another 50 years at the minimum and if they use it sparingly then they could even last for 100 years... And that is more than enough to make their whole sect become stronger than ever.

This is also one of the reasons why Feng Qianhui wanted Issei to be their sect Master...

Actually, Xia Qingyue has a special physique... Well, two special physique to be exact.

The first one being the , it gives a special type of mind, with high comprehensive abilities, pure and clear disposition, the soul will grow stronger and stronger over time, and be able to sense good and evil as well as danger, and easily see through various mysteries, and even see into the heart of all living things.

Someone with the will be a supreme and sacred existence that transcends the world. The legends say that they are blessed by the heavens and whoever harms them would suffer the punishment of the heavens way... But in reality, those are merely fabrications that the world assumes is correct.

This ability is so rare that it was difficult to appear once in a million years, even in the Era of the Gods.

Once the awakens, one's power, wisdom, vision, and soul will all undergo changes which appear strange on the surface. But their speed of growth will become so fast that it would be inconceivable to a normal person, and the changes to their wisdom and vision will cause them to no longer be willing to be under anyone else. At the very least, that person definitely will no longer be weak, hesitant, or bewildered.

The Eternal Heaven Ancestor was the first example of this all those years ago. She was originally a mortal woman, yet she became the first Eternal Heaven God Emperor and she even convinced the Eternal Heaven Pearl to submit to her.

On a side note, the is one of the ranked 4th on the ranking.

The is, for all intents and purposes, a true 'divine miracle'.

But in front of Issei existence, it could only barely count as "not bad" at most... The possessor of this divine physique usually always being faced with tragedy or "tests" to temper their body and mind is more accurate...

If she doesn't meet with Issei then her future path is filled with obstacles and hardships, but that future is unintentionally being erased by Issei and he paved a brand new path for her life... A life full of bliss and joy...

The "Heaven" doesn't dare to change her destiny anymore since her whole fate has been influenced by Issei... Even if the "Heaven" tried to forcefully change her fate then it wouldn't affect her anymore and would only bring destruction to itself...

What's quite funny is that the legend where they said that who possesses this physique will have protection from the "Heaven" is false... But right now Xia Qingyue has indeed had protection from an entity that surpasses the "Heaven" itself... She and the member of the basically have already released from the shackle of the so-called "Heaven" and they are free to create their own destiny with their very own hands...

These things usually should be only possible for those who are extremely lucky(AN: Those who have plot armor is more like it).

Xia Qingyue second physique is called the . Whoever possesses this physique has a "small world" inside of their body which allows them to hold more power than what their physical bodies can handle, as to say that no matter what Profound Art she cultivates in she will be able to cultivate it to any level no matter what her cultivation is. It can also be passed onto others with "vital virginity" or dual cultivation.

Possessors of the are hard to search for even among a trillion people but the possessors would definitely be women. Even in the vast Realm of the Gods, at most, only one person will be born with the Nine Profound Exquisite Body every ten thousand years.

When possessors of Nine Profound Exquisite Body have low profound cultivation, their profound energy will reveal a unique free-flowing state and it's easily discernible by people who are aware of this characteristic of the Nine Profound Exquisite Body.

If their unleashed profound energy can break the laws of realm boundaries to a certain extent, then it's possible to ascertain that they undoubtedly possess the .

However, this profound energy characteristic weakens as their profound energy becomes richer and if they step into the divine way, this characteristic will completely disappear. Thus, locating one in the higher realms is difficult and hard to control as well so, it's better to search in the lower realms.

But those trivial things don't apply to the current Xia Qingyue anymore who basically has been "Released" from the "Heaven" law.

could be possessed by another woman. It was just that the conditions are extremely harsh and the method is very special.

And this is why even without Issei assistance she should've been able to master the .

(a.k.a Frozen End Divine Arts) is a Profound Art that originates from the Ice Phoenix, one of the Three Supreme Water Attribute Beasts. The bloodline of the Ice Phoenix is required in order to cultivate it.

Mu Bingyun named it while she lost her memories on the .

This profound art is capable of freezing anything. including profound energy. The primary users are members of Divine Ice Phoenix Sect. The extreme ice attributes of the profound art cause problems with reproduction and both males and females will find it very difficult to conceive.

But Issei already fixed this problem as well. And since his bloodline is even more divine and way stronger than the Ice Phoenix itself. That requirement is basically nonexistent and he can easily pass on these arts to whoever he wants.

Even one of his wives, Izana, the member of the from the Kalar race surpasses the Ice Phoenix in this world since she has the bloodline of the primordial Ice Phoenix God created by the Creator God itself.

If the Ice Phoenix of this world were to meet Izana then it would immediately prostate itself in complete submission much less to say if it is in front of Issei himself... Not even the Primordial Azure Dragon from this world itself could stand a chance in front of his divinity. At most, it's only on the level of the DxD world Tannin but that's about it...

"Hmm, as I expected..." Issei murmured in confirmation since his guess has been correct all along...

The first time he saw this art he could sense a tiny bit of divinity left belonging to a God and it kind of remind him of Izana so he assumes the reason why the disciples couldn't learn this art is because they don't have its bloodline.

"Try using it, Junior Sister Xia Qingyue" Issei said towards the flabbergasted Xia Qingyue to which she nodded and on her first try, she could only execute the 1st stage but it's already considered monstrous talent if she's placed in the upper realm sect.

Chu Yueli and the others who saw this become flabbergasted as well. But thinking that they would just be going to bother them if they were to bombard him with questions now they decided to wait for the right time...

In the near future, the whole disciple could use the ... And another reason emerged to make Issei their new Sect Master... They mean, just look at it! In less than a month of him staying here, he already contributed so many for the sect!

At this current rate then winning the is pretty much guaranteed already... Without a single doubt!

If after all this he's still not worthy to become their sect Master then no one is... But sadly his lack of interest in being their sect master is quite frustrating but they won't lose hope! As long as he's still here they will have a day where he will finally take fancy on one of them or perhaps all of them is better and when that moment comes, they won't believe he wouldn't stay!

They already heard how gentle he is when he's talking about his imaginary children from Chu Yueli's mouth herself... A man like him wouldn't abandon his family no matter what.

On this they are correct but what they didn't know is that he already has his wives waiting for him back home so this plan of theirs is quite flawed but it is still a good plan since if he indeed takes one of them as his wife then he will do everything he can to make their sect become more prosperous.

...

"Good... Let's stop for today" He said towards the exhausted-looking Xia Qingyue.

"Qingyue gives her thanks for Elder Ise guidance" She bowed even more respectfully than before. And even though she's exhausted but she gains quite a lot from this small session of theirs.

"Ah. We shall continue it at a later date, junior sister Xia Qing-" Issei nodded calmly at her but before he could finish her words, Qingyue stopped him with her own.

"Please just call me Qingyue, Elder Ise" Xia Qingyue said with a respectful tone.

"...Very well, then see you later, Qingyue." He said to her.

Xia Qingyue heart throbbed a little hearing him calling her name directly like that but she doesn't hate it. In fact, she's a little happy about it...

And with one last bow, she left the area... Chu Yueli's group has already gone back ahead of time.

Even though the time they spend is quite short, Qingyue is able to increase her strength by quite a lot. She should be able to achieve another breakthrough soon enough.

She becomes increasingly awed and started to revere Issei even more. Thinking about her Master's words from before she blushed slightly... 'It might not be so bad having him as my husband...' She couldn't help unconsciously thought of it... But soon she snaps out of her thoughts since she has a dream to fulfill first.

While Qingyue heads back inside the sect, Issei decided to stay outside for some time...

It's been 3 days ever since they returned to the sect and that mother and daughter duo still haven't wake up until now... But he finally felt a stir within the pearl.

He decided to wait for a few moments since he could hear a sobbing sound from inside the pearl... Considering how young this voice sounded then it must be the sobbing sound of the daughter... But he could also hear a sobbing sound from a maturer voice.

The mother also took notice of his act when they finally stopped her reunion with her daughter and she felt become even more grateful of Issei for it. There's no way he doesn't realize their movement inside the pearl since he's its master.

"Benefactor... You can come in now" She gently said towards nowhere in particular since she's inside a personal space of the so there's no actual entrance into this place.

The daughter frowned a little because from what she heard, both her and her mother are saved by this benefactor and they are currently inside the as well at that.

At first, she's surprised seeing her mother appearance changes but soon she accepted it since she's already extremely happy that she's still alive. What else could she ask for?

No matter what she's still her beloved mother in the end... She wishes that her gentle elder brother is still alive...

But she becomes dazed instantly after seeing Issei entering the pearl... Her mother is also in a daze seeing Issei face once again...

Because he is the most handsome man they've both ever seen... the girl hates to admit that this person before them is even more handsome than her own late elder brother that she idolizes a lot...

Even if he's placed in the upper realm then his face is surely one of a kind. They heard the current Dragon King from up there has a flawless face but they are willing to bet that the man in front of them goes beyond that... Flawless is not enough to describe Issei's appearance... Beyond perfection or beyond devilish is more accurate to describe his face...

What amazes her even further is that even after he saw her and her mother's beauty he still has a calm face... Usually, other men either showed astonishment or even lust when they saw them both.

"How are you feeling? Any discomfort on your new body?" Issei breaks their silence asking the mother since this is his first time trying to remold someone else spiritual body.

"...E-Eh, no benefactor. There's nothing wrong with my new body and there are no problems with it as far as I could tell." The mother hastily answered his question.

"I see." Issei nodded calmly at her and then he turned his gaze on her daughter. "How about her?" She asked once again.

"...This princess is fine." She warily answered Issei before her mother could say anything else.

"Jasmine, don't be rude." Her mother lightly reprimanded her. After all, the man in front of them saved both of their lives but it's not like she can't relate to her daughter's wariness since both of them have their own share of lives experience...

There are so many people tries to deceive and lied to them in their lives, her ex-husband is one of them who wants to do harm to his own daughter for his own selfish reason.

He also forcefully made her as his mistress since he covets her beauty but after he has his way with her, he completely abandons her never seemed to bother to care anymore... Even when she's kidnapped by the Moon God Realm King, he doesn't give a single care about it and even saw that as a chance to erase his own son and her at the same time...

It's because he wanted to do some ritual that involves her daughter and that ritual would've claimed her daughter's life so with her elder brother and herself in the way he won't be able to smoothly launch that twisted plan of his...

One day, when his Royal Father was out, he sneaked into his Divine Emperor's hall and discovered an ancient jade scroll of 'Blood Sacrifice'.

According to this scroll, sacrifice one Star God's everything, including his flesh, blood, power, and soul, to fuse his divine power with another Star God! Once he succeeded, the fusion of the Star God powers and the Star God powers would have a special qualitative change. From there, it was very likely that he would break through his limits and cross over a barrier that he could never have traversed before. Touch the legendary path of a True God.

He found that this kind of blood sacrifice method is not something that can be achieved by any Star God, but requires an incomparably strict 'fit'. And in order to achieve this kind of fit, the sacrificed Star God must be direct blood relatives within two generations of the person who accepted the sacrifice. They can be your biological parents, brothers, and sisters of the same father and mother, and your own child.

He took the jade scroll and his father about this matter. His father did not try to dispute it and just told him straight away that he would perform the blood sacrifice ceremony engraved on the jade scroll. The purpose of purchasing a large amount of Divine Jades was to perform the ceremony. The ceremony was held once every hundred years and was also the 'day of the stars' when Star God powers were at its strongest.

Later when he was travelling he found that his sister inherited the power of Heavenly Slaughter Star God and in order to save his sister he informed her regarding the matter, hoping that she will escape...

She was going to end her own life when she saw her son coming to rescue her hoping that he will escape as soon as she does that but as fate allows it, there's a loud rumbling sound coming from the void along with a crimson tear on the space which allows her and her son to barely escape from the clutch of the Moon Emperor since they are distracted by it...

But in the end, her son still loses his life...

She doesn't really understand the detail but it seems that her ex-husband has a collaboration with the Brahma Heaven God Emperor's daughter, Qianye Ying'er which resulted in his death since her son is in love with Qianye Ying'er so he trusts her completely...

He left behind a ring when he was on his deathbed. He left his final soul within the ring and so that will be able to protect Jasmine and her for the rest of their life...

His mother and little sister mourned for his death...

His little sister, in order to become even more powerful used her full power in order to get the , but later found out from the Soul Imprint left on it that it would devour her old profound veins, and give her new one, effectively forcing her to start cultivating over again. Which she couldn't afford to do...

While trying to get the she ended up getting poisoned by the where she went to search for the where she accidentally made her way to and if it weren't for her mother intervention then she might just die from the poison attack from back then... But as a result, her mother is the one to bear the full brunt of the poison hence why she's so close to her deathbed when Issei found them.

If it weren't for Issei help then she would've really died... Well, both of them will...

Even though Jasmine's mother bears the full brunt of the poison, she's still inflicted by the very same poison...

"...Who are you and for what purpose did you save us both?" She ignores her mother's words and asked Issei with a cold tone.

Even though she's grateful that he saved her mother and her, she can't let her guard down in front of a stranger such as him.

"Haven't your mother taught you to introduce yourself first before asking someone else's name?" Issei countered back with a calm tone feeling undisturbed by the bloodlust she's emitting right now.

"You!" The girl gritted her teeth feeling slight anger for being berated by Issei. She usually never allows any outsiders to talk to her like that but since her condition is at its worst at the moment she could only grit her teeth. And he's also their benefactor in the end... It will go against her conscience to harm Issei at the moment especially after what he's done for them both.

"Jasmine, that's enough... Don't act rudely towards our benefactor." Her mother berated her once again but with more force behind her voice this time.

The girl who's called Jasmine harrumphed and turn her head to the side but she doesn't say anything else since she loves and respects her mother a lot.

"I'm sorry for my daughter's attitude benefactor, and as for our name, you can call my daughter Jasmine and as for me, you can call me Xun'er" She smiled apologetically towards Issei while introducing their name.

"I don't mind, and you can just call me Ise" Issei said in respond towards their introduction.

Issei can understand what she's trying to imply but he doesn't really care since who they are is not his business.

The name they use is too vague that you could say that they're hiding their true identity.

Xun'er for one is not her full name and sounds quite generic while Jasmine speaks for itself.

They thought the same thing as him after hearing his name thinking that he's also hiding his true identity. But this is their misconception since that is his real name... They just didn't know it yet.

"Hmph... Acting like you're some kind of a bigshot using a fake name..." Jasmine mumbled in a low voice but both Issei and Xun'er can hear her voice.

She can only smile apologetically once more while Issei is a little confused about what she meant by that? He's not the one hiding his identity here.

But he won't bother to correct her thinking and just waved it off.

"Anyway, you might want to wear some clothes rather than using a plain blanket." Issei waved his hand and a bunch of woman clothing appeared in front of them.

They currently only use the blanket Issei provided before to cover themselves and only now that they realize that they're basically naked right now.

"You pervert! Don't look this way!" Jasmine shouted in embarrassment while she's standing in front of her mother to hide the latter body from his sight.

Issei completely ignores her words and went outside the pearl to wait for them to wear some clothes.

Xun'er face also went red after realizing her current predicament. Now that she thought about it, back when they first met they're also fully naked... How embarrassing being seen twice by the same man like that...

They then start to inspect the clothes Issei provided...

Some of the clothing is completely foreign for them both, not surprising since it's from his original world.

As for why Issei carries some woman clothing within his is because he bought them for a souvenir from this world and as for the clothing from his world... It's because Ophis and Lilith often dirtied their clothing when they eat their sweets and snacks...

Well, not only them... Even Ramius sometimes does that too whenever she eats. Issei doesn't really mind about this since he thought that they're really cute whenever they stuffed their cheeks full of food like that... It reminds him of a squirrel.

Both Jasmine and Xun'er spend quite a while to choose their clothing...

Issei can only sigh tiredly because it seems that even the woman from this world also spent a lot of time in this kind of stuff... He's used to this since he often accompanies his wives when they're shopping.

They finally choose a kimono for their clothes since it looks really nice and unique from their perspective.

While Xun'er chooses a black and white kimono that compliments her current white hair and snow-white skin, Jasmine choose a red and gold kimono designed for children which suit her very well especially with her red hair.

She doesn't know that it's made for children and only thought that it really suits her taste especially the unique pattern the clothes have. It's really a fresh feeling seeing this new design for them both.

But the way they wore it is kinda off... The binding looks really clumsy and randomly tied.

They are feeling confused and thought that it is indeed the right way to wear it and decided to bear with it for now. At least their body is properly covered right now.

Then Xun'er told Issei that they've finished wearing their clothes.

When Issei went inside the pearl once more he becomes speechless seeing how they wear their kimono...

When he saw how clumsy Jasmine looks right now, it kind of reminds him of Ophis and Lilith since both of them didn't know how to put on their clothes as well and just randomly wear it.

He unconsciously moved forward to fix Jasmine's clothing much to her shock. She doesn't react because when he's fixing her clothes, his face seems so gentle that it made her become dazed once more... His gentle looking face reminds her of her late elder brother that's why...

Even Xun'er becomes dazed seeing Issei right now...

After he's done fixing her clothes that he nodded to himself.

"The way you wear those clothes is wrong so I fixed it." He stated in a calm tone his face reverting back to the previous state.

Only after hearing his words that Jasmine and Xun'er snapped back from their daze.

"Wh-What were you doing you pervert! Who gives you permission to touch this princess?!" She scowled at Issei with her face turned a little red from embarrassment.

"As I said, the way you wear your clothes is wrong, so I fixed it. And you can copy your daughter's clothes to fix yours... Even though the design is slightly different but it doesn't differ that much." Issei respond calmly to her outburst and told Xun'er to copy her daughter's clothes if she wanted to fix her own clothing.

Xun'er dumbly nodded at his explanation and there's a tinge of disappointment welled up in her heart after knowing that he won't be fixing her clothes like he did with her daughter...

She then fixed her clothes while copying her daughter's... Jasmine is still fuming with embarrassment and anger towards the nonchalant looking Issei.

"Umm, benefactor Ise... What exactly did you do to my body? How come my appearances become like this?" After she finished fixing her clothes, she asked Issei in bewilderment while touching her bunny ears.

Her bunny ears are not pointing upwards but pointing downward so it kind of looks like a hair accessory unless someone inspected it closely.

"That's right! How come my mother now looks like this? And what's up with that rabbit ears?" Jasmine asked.

"Hmm... To be honest, that was also my first time trying to do something like that." Issei mused in interest while inspecting the changes in Xun'er's body.

"What?! So you experimented with my mother's body!?" Jasmine felt her anger rising knowing that he basically made her mother as a guinea pig.

"If I didn't do anything then she would've lost her life back then." He calmly responded to her anger.

Jasmine's body froze since she knows that he's telling the truth... If he doesn't do anything then her mother wouldn't be standing in front of her right now and she would be all alone in this world...

"Jasmine. No matter what he saved our lives... Even if mother died back then, I wouldn't blame benefactor Ise here. If he doesn't do anything then I would've died regardless... So he doesn't do anything wrong and we should be grateful for what he did." Xun'er comforted her daughter with a soothing voice.

"...Hmph." Jasmine harrumphed but she doesn't refute her mother's words.

"And I have to thank you once again, benefactor Ise... We would surely repay this benevolence." She bowed in gratitude towards Issei.

He just nodded calmly at her gratitude.

"So is there really nothing wrong with your body? How about your cultivation?" Issei asked her once more.

Only after he asked her that she started inspecting her body and to her surprise, her cultivation has completely disappeared. Even Jasmine is taken aback because of this.

Jasmine is wounded so her cultivation decreased temporarily so it's understandable for her cultivation to drop but her mother's cultivation is no more... She basically turned into a normal mortal...

"As I thought..." Issei mused calmly.

"Wh-What did you do to her?! How come my mother's cultivation disappeared!" Her face went pale with horror since she knows if her mother were to go outside at her current state, she will only bring destruction to herself.

While Jasmine felt angry and shocked, Xun'er only felt a slight surprise.

"What I did to your mother is quite simple yet also quite complicated." He paused for a second arranging his words before he continued: "I basically replaced her corroded soul parts with a brand new spirit hence why her appearance changed the way she is right now... Since during that time the energy is at its highest I created a Yin spirit and also because she's a woman, her attribute is leaning towards Yin compared to other elements so it's much easier to use Yin energy as a substitution. Think of a wooden cart with a broken wheel, I replaced the wheel with a brand new one but it's made of iron instead of wood. It may look different but it's still a cart regardless... Something like that."

As for her rabbit's ears... Is it really a rabbit ears? Issei is willing to bet that it's probably the same case with Gugigura where her cat ears only look like one but in reality, it's her unique Draconic part... But since he doesn't change her to a full-fledged Dragon, he's not completely certain...

Perhaps it's just a coincidence?

But he thought if he told them about it then it will only make them further confused so he let it be.

What he did is indeed seem simple but they've never really heard anyone capable of doing what he did... Replacing a part of someone's soul? They've heard a method where someone could forcibly take over someone's body or borrow a spirit's power but they've never heard something like he just said...

What he's done is basically created a brand new life! At the very least, close to it.

Even if they don't believe him, they can't really find a more suitable answer for Xun'er case... Like it or not, they can only believe him.

"As for her cultivation issue... It should be obvious since I've replaced a part of her soul with a brand new one so it can't be helped if she loses her cultivation in the process. She's basically underwent a process of Rebirth you could say." Issei finished his explanation.

Jasmine is at a loss for words and when she's about to say something else, Xun'er stopped her from doing so.

"Regardless of what happens, we thank you for your benevolence, benefactor Ise." She said with a heartfelt gratitude.

Exchanging her cultivation for her life? That sounds a great trade. She can't afford to leave her daughter alone in this world and besides, she could just cultivate from scratch. It's not like she became a cripple... If anything she has a feeling that if she were to cultivate from now on then she will achieve greater heights compared to the old her.

She's not sure why she's feeling this way but it must have something to do with Issei she thought to herself. And she doesn't know why but for some reason her heartbeat is thumping loudly whenever she looks at him... Sure he's incredibly handsome but that's not it... It's like her soul is telling her to submit to him... Thankfully she can hide this feeling since it's not that strong.

"...He's only a throne... His story is very doubtful considering how low his cultivation is..." Jasmine continues to mumble to herself thinking just how ludicrous his story was...

If he was at the

then it might've been more believable but he's only at the peak of the ... He only seems like he's in his 20s and being at the peak of the Emperor realm is quite amazing but that is only if he's placed in this low-tier star... If he's placed in the then his cultivation can be considered slightly above average at most.

She still can't trust Issei and that's normal considering they basically just met with each other.

He might have saved her and her mother lives but that doesn't mean she can completely trust him, no?

"If there's nothing else then I will take my leave." Issei nodded once more at Xun'er words and he prepared to leave but Xun'er called out to him once again: "Wait, benefactor Ise... Jasmine, take out the ."

"..." Jasmine went silent because she doesn't really want to give it away and even though she can't use it considering that she will lose her cultivation if she were to do that. But now her mother basically has no cultivation and if she uses it instead things couldn't be better for them both.

And how could Xun'er misses her daughter's thoughts but they owe him too much. "Jasmine... Listen to your mother..." She softly said.

Jasmine then reluctantly took out the blood...

"Benefactor Ise, this thing is the ..." She then explained about the blood Jasmine just took out...

Era of Gods. The Creation God of Elements, one of the Four Creation Gods born from the primal powers of the Ancestral God. Possessed the most extreme power of the elements within the Primal Chaos Realm. Able to perfectly control, resist and absorb the six basic elemental powers: Darkness, Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Earth. (Darkness was not known to the other Gods).

The Evil God Legacy is the legacy left behind by one of the most powerful True Gods from the Primordial Era, the Evil God. The Evil God Legacy is obtained through a single drop of the Evil God's Indestructible Blood. This drop of immortal blood embodied the source of his power. There can only be one inheritor of the Evil God's powers because he eliminated his own divine powers and six hundred thousand years of lifespan to create this drop of blood. He gave up his life in order to leave behind one final hope for the future.

The drop of immortal blood includes a memory imprint explaining everything about what comes with accepting the legacy. After accepting the Legacy your current profound veins will be destroyed and rebuilt with the profound veins of the Evil God, meaning you will lose your past cultivation, starting over. But once the profound veins are rebuilt and all profound entrances are open you will have access to the Seven Gates of Evil God's Secret Arts and its corresponding Profound Skills. You will also be able to use the Evil God Seeds once you have located them to obtain perfect immunity from the elements.

"...Now I know your current cultivation is at the peak of the Emperor realm but even if you don't want to use it then you can keep this blood as your own. And if you wanted to give it someone then it's completely up to you... This may be not much considering that you just saved both of our lives but at the very least please accept it as our gratitude for now. We will surely repay you fully when we have the chance." She finished her explanation while presenting the drop of blood towards Issei.

"Seeds?" Right after Issei said that. He can feel a pulling force from within his and when he takes a look at it, he saw the he obtained from the Dragon nest before is glowing brightly as if it's reacting to the drop of blood in Xun'er hands.

Both Xun'er and Jasmine become alarmed seeing that seed since it's exactly the same seed described from the soul message left behind in the drop of blood.

Five Evil God's seeds are spread through Evil God's Five Secret Grounds that correspond to the five main elements. Only those who had inherited his power would be able to find them. Each Seed will transform his body into a Spirit Evil Body that allows for complete control, absolute immunity, and increased affinity to the corresponding elements.

There are fire seed, water seed, lightning seed, wind seed, earth seed, and also darkness seed in truth. But Jasmine and Xun'er only knows of 5 seed at the moment.

""?!"" Both Xun'er and Jasmine shouted in surprise. They never thought that one of those legendary seeds is in Issei's hand.

"So this is indeed the seed you told me about. Excuse me for a moment." Issei then took the blood from Xun'er's hand while she's still being amazed by the sight of the fire seed.

Jasmine also went forward to inspect the fire seed but much to her disappointment, it seems that she can't use the seed as her own and only the one who possesses the is able to use it...

Issei started inspecting the drop of blood in his hand in a detailed manner. With this sample in front of him, he should be able to gain closer understanding on how to fully utilize the .

He released his Dragon aura out in the open along with his eyes turned into slit when he's inspecting the blood in a detailed manner... Even though the blood in his hand is quite weak compared to his, it is still a drop of blood from a True God regardless so he also need to show it a certain length of his power so that this blood will thoroughly submit to him.

It's still weaker even compared to the old Ophis and Lilith but that's because their power is split between them. If it's just the old Ophis then her divinity is a lot stronger than this Heretic God.

Both Jasmine and Xun'er's breath stagnated feeling the aura Issei emitting right now... Their body broke in a cold sweat because his aura is really overbearing and this is the first time they felt this way... Even their so-called ex-husband and father can't hold a candle in front of this aura.

Thankfully he's not aiming this aura to them directly or it would make Jasmine suffocates and as for Xun'er, she might just die from the pressure alone since she's basically a normal mortal right now...

And his eyes... That eyes clearly belongs to a Dragon... And not just any normal Dragon. They have a feeling to just submit to him the moment they look into his eyes. It's like its a bottomless abyss with endless power and able to make someone lost in reverie just by gazing at it...

In no time at all, Issei finished making the blood submits to him and he finally understands how to utilize this .

It took him about 5 minutes to fully understand how this blood and seed work. He's feeling happy because with this he can make his wives become even stronger than before...

He flashed a gentle smile for a brief second thinking about his wives and this smile of his doesn't go unnoticed by the 2 girls nearby him since they keep gazing at him after all this time...

They become mesmerized seeing his smile since it's so devastatingly handsome and charming... They felt like the time around them froze and they really can't believe that someone can be this perfect...

"You can have this back. I don't need it." Issei's eyes returned to normal and he handed the blood back towards Xun'er to which she reflexively received with her hands. "...Eh?" She let out a dumbfounded voice seeing that he suddenly returned the blood back to her.

Her face went red at a visible rate feeling a little embarrassed since she thought she's been caught staring at his face for a while now... Jasmine is still having it better even though her face is also a bit red but she still questioned Issei right away: "Y-You, who are you? And those eyes from before... You are clearly not a human!" She becomes increasingly wary towards Issei since it seems that she has been underestimating him since he's only at the .

She positioned herself in front of her mother once again.

Issei who heard her question has his eyes glowed for a brief moment and it serves to intimidate Jasmine for a bit. He calmly extended his hand towards her and Jasmine gritted her teeth preparing to use everything she got left to protect her mother.

When she thought Issei going to do something to her... He instead flicked her in the forehead.

*Flick!* *Ouch!*

"As I said before, didn't your mother taught you to introduce yourself first before asking others? You clearly hid your real identity from me so why should I tell you who I am either?" Jasmine scowled in anger with tears threatening to drop from the corner of her eyes because Issei flicks hurt a bit: "Y-You dare..." She said while covering her reddening forehead.

She knows that she can't really do anything to him in her current state and she thought his aura must've been because of his bloodline or perhaps some sort of true God legacy just like the Heretic God Blood.

For all she knows, he might be from the upper realm as well just like her and her mother.

"Anyway, you can have that blood back since I don't need it. Then I believe we're done here." Issei dismissed her anger as usual. He only sees Jasmine as a little brat so he doesn't really care that much.

This is not the first time he's interacting with children like her after all. But he can tell that deep within her eyes, she's holding sadness and hatred that runs quite deep. Presumably towards the one who poisoned them both.

"E-Eh? B-But..." Xun'er stammers feeling a little confused.

"Just lending me that blood once is enough. Feel free to stay inside this pearl for as long as you want. Oh, and I don't need this seed anymore either." He tossed the at them since he doesn't have any more use for it. Those seed is basically just a concentrated Fire element fused with the Heretic God divinity and profound energy of some sort.

He can just create his own "Fire Seed" later on.

And with that, he left the pearl and heads back to his room inside the sect straight away... It's already quite late after all.

Both Xun'er and Jasmine as at a loss for words... But soon Jasmine is the first to snaps out of it and shouted happily at her mother: "Absorb the blood into your body, mother! And then use that too!" With this, her mother will at least have some strength to protect herself.

"B-But..." Xun'er feeling doubtful whether she should use the blood or not...

"Don't worry, he said so himself, didn't he? He said he doesn't need it so you're free to use it! We will think of something else to repay him later, but for now, use the mother!" She started convincing her mother to use the blood for herself.

After her relentless urging, Xun'er finally relented to her words and fused the blood with her body along with the seed... Jasmine helped her mother to fuse the blood with her body since she doesn't have profound energy anymore so she's basically a mortal right now.

Jasmine's delicate fingertips suddenly stimulated the blood of the "Heretic God" to float adrift and pierce into the middle of Xun'er chest. The pit of her chest immediately split open taking shape of a tiny hole just enough to reveal a bloodstain, and the sinister scarlet blood droplet touched Xun'er overflowing blood as if it were attracted. In a flash, it entered her body…

"Endure, Mother." Jasmine grasped her mother's hand thinking the process is going to be arduous based on the soul imprint knowledge... But the pain never comes and both of them are left to blankly stare at each other thinking if there's something wrong in the process...

But after Jasmine inspected her mother's body, there's nothing wrong and she can see that the blood has successfully merged with her...

The message from the soul imprint said that the process would be painful since it's going to devour the host profound veins... But here it's basically just merged just like that without any repercussion...

Xun'er profound entrance already opened up to 54 so there's no change that can be seen in that regard.

In it maybe unprecedented having 54 profound entrance opened but in the upper realm it's quite normal.

They started thinking if the blood is a fake or something but then the also perfectly assimilated with her body.

At that instant, she detected an abrupt turbulence in her Profound Veins. She didn't even have time to survey the abnormal motions of the Profound Veins because the surface of her body unexpectedly released a ball of crimson luminescence. Right after, these crimson rays of light actually turned into a flaming blaze that combusted on the surface of her body and bathed her entire body inside its crimson raging inferno.

"This… This is?"

The unforeseen ignition of flames greatly startled her. What surprised them both even more, was the fact that Xun'er body unexpectedly did not feel a single degree of its burning luminescence, but instead felt an indescribable kind of coziness. Even her clothes were perfectly intact inside the flames, as if these horrifying flames were merely imaginary rays of bright light.

Her cultivation realm also started increasing abruptly from the 1st level of and instantly reaches the in one go.

Both of them become further flabbergasted but soon Jasmine started beaming with joy since her mother just becomes stronger and at the very least, she will have the strength to protect herself even just by a small amount.

It also means that the blood and the seed is indeed the real deal. She couldn't care less why her mother doesn't undergo the painful process because that just means her mother won't need to endure any pain whatsoever.

But she started feeling complicated since this just means that the debt they owed him has increased even further... If it wasn't for the he gave them then her mother cultivation shouldn't reach this stage so soon...

After all, the blood from the Heretic God only makes someone profound vein better than your average person, not suddenly increase that person cultivation just like that...

Well, there's no use thinking it now and she will surely repay this debt when she has the chance like she said before.

Then she and her mother resumed their exploration of the heretic blood...

...

Issei schedule goes on just like that for the next few weeks... Training Qingyue and the other girls from the sect. He also made them all able to learn the .

Gong Yuxian never thought her casual act of kindness will bear these kinds of results... Their sect is at the heights where they've never been before...

Even Jasmine and Xun'er who's residing inside the is feeling awed by his achievements. They become increasingly curious at his true background because there's no way he's from this measly .

That for one is obviously the that the

mainly uses.

At first, they thought he's from that sect but they soon erase that thought since he never heard of him before in the upper realm. And they're pretty sure that if he's in the upper realm with his talent and looks then he must be quite well-known but the fact is they never heard of him even once...

They're also started sneakily trained the arts he taught to the to which he took notice of but he let them be.

One day...

Issei was at his usual spot viewing the scenery surrounded by profound beasts and animals as usual.

The can be found lying lazily at his side just like a pet would.

Jasmine and Xun'er at first is very alarmed seeing a strong beast such as the which is at the acting so subservient towards him who only is at the peak of the .

He becomes even more mystical in their eyes every day they spent together. Well, they only stay at the pearl but they can basically see outside.

When Jasmine saw Xia Qingyue she becomes amazed because of her physique. She told Issei about her physique thinking that he will become interested and perhaps show some greed or whatnot wanting to obtain her physique as his own but all she got from him is: "Is that so?"

Even in the upper realm, if Xia Qingyue's physique were to be known then it would bring countless men and even women greed for it. That, coupled with her beauty would be double the attraction but here he is seemingly uninterested with it... She truly can't see through him at all... It's like he's covered in this thick mist luring her to unveil each of his secrets...

Her mother can only smile wryly at her daughter's antics but she's feeling happy since, at the very least, she doesn't think about revenge all the time like she used to...

"Master, there are two women observing the sect from above. Should we do something?" Esdeath, Altair, and Sirius suddenly appeared behind Issei reporting about two observers above the sect.

Their clothes already changed into those of military attire from his original world. Esdeath wore a General's apparel with long sleeves with buttons on the upper arms, a blue scarf on her neck, and high-heeled boots.

As for Altair, she wears a dark navy-blue military hat with a crimson Dragon emblem on her hat and a Spanish-style double-breasted coat. While Sirius is wearing a pure white set.

The three of them are wearing the same type of hat with the same emblem.

Issei told them they are free to choose whichever clothes they like and they choose this attire. They customized the hat emblem on their own though...

Jasmine and Xun'er become further alarmed seeing them appear out of nowhere and how they all treated Issei with endless respect and devotion. They can tell that these 3 women in front of them are at the peak of the ... But it seems that they're not a human as far as they could tell...

Nevertheless, seeing them treating Issei like this made them increasingly curious by the second... Just who is he? What is his background? They wondered to themselves...

"Let them be. I don't sense any ill-intent from them." Issei also noticed these 2 observers present but since he doesn't sense any ill-intent from them both he let them be.

Those 2 newcomers are Mu Bingyun herself and her direct disciple... But Issei won't know this until later on...

"As you wish." Esdeath said while still kneeling on the spot with a thin smile on her face. Then the three of them set their gaze on Jasmine and Xun'er who's currently floating outside the pearl.

Both Jasmine and Xun'er shuddered a little being gazed like that by them since the way they look at them is completely different from how they look at Issei. Jasmine glared back at them unwilling to back down.

They are currently only in their spirit projection form while their true spiritual body is still inside the pearl... Any normal human shouldn't be able to see them but these group of women clearly could...

"...Then we will take our leave, Master." They are the first to averted their gazes losing interest and paid their respect at Issei before they disappeared once again to execute their duty.

"...You... Just who are...!" Jasmine was about to say something but she put it on halt since she thought that since she doesn't tell him her true identity then she has no right to ask about his... That, and also when she saw he extend his hand towards her forehead once more... She hurriedly covered her forehead with a scowl on her face and ran inside the pearl forgetting that he shouldn't be able to touch her spirit projection.

It seems that his flick from back then brought a little trauma to her...

Xun'er sweated a little seeing her daughter acting like a little girl again but she's feeling a bit happy nonetheless...

Issei then decided to go inside the sect for today and when he entered the sect he notices that Xia Qingyue is currently having a conversation with Chu Yueli.

Apparently, Qingyue wanted to visit her little brother on the since she's quite worried about him. She got a letter from her father almost every month so she's not that worried about her father but her little brother is different.

When both Xia Qingyue and Chu Yueli saw Issei they paid their respect to him...

Chu Yueli thought of something before she suggested if Issei wanted to come along with Xia Qingyue visiting her little brother to the .

Issei thought for a while and he doesn't see any reason to say no so he agreed to it... Then they both set off to their destination...

But before he sets off he thought of something and gave Chu Yueli a bunch of charms. These charms will act as a signal if they needed help or in a dangerous situation.

He asks her to give the charms to the other girls as well... He told them to just channel their profound energy into this charm so he will be able to notice it. It will also act as a temporary defensive barrier that protects the user from harm.

That way he can arrive at their location in time... Well, he can just teleport to their location straight away using that charm as a navigation point but it should be better if the charm could at least protect them for a certain period of time just in case he can't make it in time...

Chu Yueli who received it is feeling happy and thanked him yet again...

So he and Xia Qingyue headed to their destination together...
