Aster found the current enthusiastic Kana quite cute; everyone has a different approach but a good motivation will give good results in her training, thinking about training he frowned his brows, she hasn’t reached the star formation realm so she hasn’t started using a cultivation manual.

But Sarina is different, she has reached the star tribulation which means she is already using a manual.

He stood up and walked towards the tent where all the girls were resting and chatting even Mylene and Eris were there, Kana followed him of course.

The girls saw him entering the tent and seeing Aster’s current slightly worried expression, they stopped what they were doing.

Lilia smiled and Aster sat next to her.

“What’s the problem darling”, she asked.

Aster looked at Sarina for a moment.

“Sarina, can you show me the manual you are using to cultivate?”.

Lilia finally understood why her son looked worried, the only method to change the manual used was to dissolve the cultivation and then starting over again, not that it was hard to do, but it would take some time to recover from it.

But to everyone’s surprise, Sarina took out a book with a green cover and golden decorations shaped as feathers, she handed it to Aster which opened it.

On the cover page it was written “Griffon’s Magistral Wings”, and there were some notes here and there written in a different font.

Kana which was sitting on Aster’s lap, looked at her mother a bit confused.

“Mom wasn’t the manual of our family called “Lord of wind”; the book was black not green too?”.

Sarina smiled, “That used to be the case, but this was in the things that we inherited from the first king… I was curious about it since it stands out quite a bit, so I read it and it’s a better and more complete version of our manual”.

Aster remembered the name of the heavenly quadrant Aurelian mentioned when they met, it was “Viridian Griffon”, considering that, the manual which he had on his hands was probably a high ranked one.

“Peak immortal grade darling, just like ours”, said Lilia confirming his suspects.

Simplifying a manual is not uncommon, sects tend to do it so that if their members want to improve, they have to remain in the sect and contribute with something, so that they have to go up in the ranks of the sect to get the complete version of their manual.

The same applied for families like the Drage, for those with a poor bloodline they get a simplified version and they have to apport something to the family, while those who have higher talent and purer lineages get a full copy since their birth, it’s a way to keep the family branches under the absolute rule of the main ones.

Aster sighed.

“I don’t think Aurelian did it on purpose, he mentioned his wife was a mortal when he met her, so he probably created a simplified manual for her, and before he could tell her about this complete version… she died”.

Different manuals needed certain materials for cultivation, Aster, Alice and Aria haven’t had any problem because Lilia has a lot of things in her spatial ring, the same friend which gave her the awakening elixir Aster used, handed Lilia a lot of spirit herbs and also told her to get others, which resulted in them not being in the uncomfortable situation of being stagnated due to the lack of resources.

But apparently that wasn’t Aurelian’s case, he probably used most of his resources to survive after the fight with the guy that chased after him, so he simplified his manual to adapt it at the level of resources which could be found at Prasil.

Lilia let out a sigh of relief, “Luckily for those who use a simplified manual, the complete version is not hard to use, but you are going to need a few things, lend me the book and I’ll later see if I have them in my ring”.

Sarina shily nodded, “Thanks”, she felt a bit embarrassed about asking for resources to Aster as they have just recently become and couple, and she didn’t want it too look as if she was with him due to that.

Aster shook his head, “Sarina, if you need something don’t feel ashamed of it, we are a family and my job as a man is to provide for everything you all need, okay?”.

Lilia smiled, she kissed Aster and looked at the black ring her son gave her years ago after they started “dating”.

“Aster is right, all we have belongs to him, and all he has belongs to us, so don’t hesitate to ask, just look at Rya’s list there are things that I have only heard of in stories and yet my darling has found them for her ♥”.

Aster looked at Mylene and Eris and he remembered they were form a higher ranked place, so they had more information than them, but before he said anything, Rya’s voice echoed on his mind.

“You are still far from that point, I haven’t told you what lies ahead of the heavenly conqueror realm for a good reason… you can ask them about some information in general, even rune mastering or alchemy is okay, but don’t ask for anything on specific above the heavenly realms, as it can influence your cultivation path, okay?”.

Aster nodded, Rya will never do anything to harm him, so if she said it was better to wait before learning some things then it was for sure the best option, the heavens aren’t known for being merciful with those that break their regulations, that’s why cultivators must go through tribulations after all.

That being said, there are a couple of things he was quite curious about, and now he had two people which could answer to his questions, he formulated his words for a moment and then said.

“Eris, you told me you were originally a soul queen, on this mortal plane as you called it, we know of the existence of that realm but no one has reached it, can you tell me what is the equivalent of a heavenly conqueror in the soul path?”.

Eris felt relieved that he knew about the limits of what they can say or not in this plane.

“No problem, whatever you want to know as long as it is not above the limitations of this plane, I can answer you… the equivalent in the soul path for a heavenly conqueror is the “Soul Sovereign” realm”.

Aster’s eyes glowed for a moment, he felt rather interested in the soul path since he turned out to be quite talented on it, but for now he decided to leave it aside as he had more questions.

“Okay, what about the manuals, I think it’s safe to assume the ones back from the place you come from are better than the ones we have here, will that limit us somehow?”.

This time Mylene took the initiative to answer, she scanned the book which Lilia was holding on her hands and she shook her head.

“No, it’s not that we don’t have heavenly conquerors and below in our native land, we all go through the same as you from the mortal, earth, transcending and then the heavenly divisions, so the same things which are the top for you in said divisions were the top for us at that point”.

Aster smirked, “So an immortal grade manual like that one is also the highest used by the people with high status back at your clans, when they were below whatever is above the heavenly conqueror realm right?”.

They both nodded as they answered, “Yes”.

“And you will need something else once you surpass the heavenly conqueror realm”, added Eris.

Not only Aster, even Lilia felt quite interested in the new things she was learning.

“I bet those bastards would have give up anything to get to know some of this”, she thought referring to the elders of the Drage family, the people of the Karel family which they fought against killed themselves to not give them any information after all.

Aster was thinking on the black book which was next to his dantian, the twins were also not from a “mortal plane”, so whatever the black book was it wasn’t a cultivation manual and now that it has been evolving thanks to Aldebaran, it was mystery what the result would be.

Aster saw that the moon was coming out, which meant it was night already, so he thanked Mylene and Eris and said goodnight to them.

“That’s enough for one day, thanks you two”.

Mylene and Eris also said goodnight and went to their tents, they did a lot of things today so everyone was quite tired, Aster took out the bed he took from the mansion since he liked it and then all the girls laid down with him.

Before he noticed Kana was happily sleeping in her mother’s embrace, Aria also fell asleep, the only ones which refused to enter the land of dreams were Lilia and Alice.

Looking at the tired expression on his sister’s face, Aster kissed her.

“Go to sleep, I’m not going anywhere and we will be travelling in the spaceship back at the azure sky planet soon anyway, so we will have some time for fun later”.

Alice smiled, she returned the kiss and then closed her eyes, after a moment her breathing slowed down as she fell asleep, although she didn’t show it before, after swimming all the day she was spent.

Lilia on the other hand was a hard bone to crack, Aster felt her hot gaze on him so he decided to help her calm down, because the other girls were already sleeping.

He dragged Lilia into his embrace and caressed her silky hair, Lilia enjoyed the warm sensation that being in the arms of her son brought her, although she likes to do naughty things with him, this wasn’t that bad.

The sound of Aster’s heart beat worked as a lullaby for her, and without noticing she fell asleep.

Aster looked at all the girls happily sleeping after enjoying a whole day at the beach and he looked at the roof of the tent, as if he could see through it directly into the starry sky.

“I’m really happy to have reincarnated”, he thought as he closed his eyes.
