Since Arthur was going to be busy for the rest of the afternoon, Aster and the girls returned to the Wolfstein castle, then each one took their leave, Camila went to reunite with the elders, Eris returned to her room but Mylene stayed behind with Kana and Sarina.

“Big brother I will go play with mom and sister Mylene at the forest, I can feel my cultivation reaching the limit of early stage of the earth origin realm”.

Aster smiled, he used his spirit sense to inspect Kana’s dantian and noticed she was actually close to a break through.

Kana had a decent talent, it was just that she didn’t focus in cultivating in past years, but now that she is actively doing it then it won’t take her too much time to advance, it was just that she was a free spirit, monotonous cultivation was against her personality and that created an obstacle which could be surpassed by relaxing and playing.

That’s why she wanted to do something she has been wanting since she met Aster, the first time she saw him he was travelling riding on the guardian vines, and since that moment she wanted to try it, so she asked Mylene if she could help her with it.

Mylene couldn’t resist the adorable Kana, so she agreed to play with her, apparently those vines were an application of her manual, according to Eris the manual of the ash nether clan and her heavenly rose clan were counters but at the same related.

Mylene could control vegetation as long as some requirements were met… and Eris could create an effect similar to the decay property of the ash nether clan, with poison produced by the plants she created with her wood attribute.

Aster patted Kana’s head; it was impossible to resist to that “praise me” expression she had.

“That’s good, when you stabilize at the middle stage of the earth origin realm, I will start with our sword training okay?”.

“I will hurry up and reach the star formation realm so big brother won’t have to be worrying about me all the time”.

Aster could see the determined gaze in Kana’s eyes and he felt happy for her, although using the paragon body to help her travel while being below the star formation realm wasn’t tiring for him, it was good that she had a goal.

That being said he still corrected her, Aster looked at her eyes directly and spoke.

“I worry for our family, that is my job, so don’t think you are being a dead weight, okay?”.

Lilia also patted her head to help Kana cheer up.

“The realm advancing is not all that matters little Kana, take your big brother for example, he is still at the star formation realm and yet even star tribulation cultivator isn’t his match, what separates a genius from the rest is the ability to jump realms and beat those who are above him”.

Kana’s big eyes looked at Aster before she happily nodded.

“Mm”, she then left with Sarina and Mylene, not without Sarina gladly smiling at Aster, how could she not notice her daughter felt a bit off, she was the weakest and she wasn’t the same as the others since Aster treated her different than the other girls, so she was doing her best to change that.

Which was praise worthy, but on the other hand rushing things is not a good idea, in both cultivation and personal affairs, so Aster didn’t want her to pressure herself too much, or she might even develop an inner demon.

Lilia sneakily approached her son and hugged him from behind.

“She’ll be fine darling, if I have learned something in my life is that being outstanding early doesn’t mean you’ll be it your whole life, some people advance really fast at first just get stuck and never break through”.

Aster could only sigh in response, it’s not that Kana wasn’t talented, the problem is that all the girls which surround Aster are special in a way or another, what Kana probably ignored is that, it wasn’t always like that.

Aria for example, although her talent was really high, she stagnated since she had no one to guide her, only after meeting Aster and getting the guide of Lilia, she woke up her lineage and then kept advancing even if she was quite young.

While she might have managed to do it even without meeting Aster, it would have taken her more time or she might have even perished before getting to know her huge latent potential.

Alice also clung to her brother and rubbed her face against his.

“Mom is right; besides you have the bad habit of benefiting all the girls that surround you… even if you just met them”.

Aster heard her accusatory voice and he chuckled.

“Come on you can’t blame for what happened, everyone inspected that medal and found nothing, so who would have thought it was some kind of inheritance”.

Lilia’s eyes had a strange glow in them as she whispered.

“Speaking of that, what are you going to do about the map… and Camila darling, if what was written behind the map was true then, are you going to bring her with us?”.

Aster shrugged.

“If that karma thing is real then she will come with us, I don’t mind getting the treasures of that place, if she wants to come it’s good, if she doesn’t then that’s fine as well”.

Originally Aster refused to follow the steps of the Wolfstein ancestor, whether the note mentioned a treasure or not, he wasn’t in dire need of it, so he was going to ignore it.

But his impression of Camila got better the more he interacted with her, so at this point he decided to let things happen, if what the note said was true, she will come with them by her own will even if he didn’t do anything.

Aster extended his arm at Aria, an offer she happily accepted, although Alice pouted, she was also happy to see her sister and rival acting like before, instead of the worried face she showed since she got to know about Nadia’s predicament.

After that he walked inside the room with the three girls, he decided that today he will help Aria break through to the stellar axys realm.

“Mom, can you draw a spirit gathering formation with this as the energy source, just one ignition?”.

Lilia took the small black crystal from the hand of her son and she inspected it before saying.

“I can darling, but this crystal will break if used like that”.

Aster nodded.

“It’s fine I have three of them, we will be going to a higher ranked place, so we all need to level up, with a single ignition Aria should be able to break through without any problem”.

Originally Aster had the idea to use the yin accumulation crystals he found in Prasil, for long term cultivation for Alice, Kana and Aria, but now he changed his mind, treasures come and go anyway.

Aria smiled, she kissed Aster and then sat down to meditate and prepare herself for her advance.

Lilia walked to the center of the room and started drawing the spirit formation, the only one who didn’t let go of Aster was Alice, Aster could feel her gaze piercing him so he hugged her and jumped to the bed.

Alice smiled, she accommodated her body in her brother’s embrace, she drew little circles with her fingers on his chest while mumbling.

“I just caught up with the ice princess and now she will go ahead of me again”.

Aster spanked her a couple of times in response.

“Don’t be so petty, I have one crystal for you and another one for Kana, wait until you reach the peal of the stellar constellation realm and it will be yours”.

These crystals were accumulations of yin, they could be used in two different ways, to enhance the absorbing rate of spirit energy for female cultivators, that way the crystals will consume at a slow ratio depending on the number of women taking advantage of them.

The other option was to explode the potential of the crystal to the limit, as a way to break through, in exchange the crystal will be immediately destroyed so it was a luxury to cultivate like this.

After a few minutes Lilia saw the result of her work, in a space of about five meters there was two circles one big enough for a person to sat inside of it and a small one with the size of a palm.

“It’s done darling”.

Aster stood up with Alice still in his arms he nodded at Aria which sat cross legged on the bigger circle, Lilia placed the crystal on the small circle and the whole formation seemed to come to life as it illuminated in a dim blue light.

Aria closed her eyes with a comfortable expression in her face, then Rigel’s flames covered her whole body decreasing the temperature of the room.

With a wave of his hand Aster used his own flames to block the advance of Aria’s ones, confining the freezing effect to five meters around the Aria.

Lilia walked around the spirit formation and seemed convinced of the result.

“Everything is okay, she’ll be like that for a few hours while she creates her own axys”.

Aster nodded, he also sat on the floor and continued with his own training, the black pommel he condensed manifested in the outside world and started hovering around Lilia.

“Are you doing this darling?”.

Aster frowned he pointed at the pommel and the thing obediently flew towards him.

“No, I wasn’t… I guess that’s why Rya said even she hasn’t seen anything like this”.
