nChapter 302 Tiana and Felicia’s situation (part 1)

nThe travel back to the Barbarian Heart sect didn’t take long, and a few seconds later they were back at the backyard of the mansion where Sarina was supervising her daughter.

nAs if Kana was waiting for them to return, she opened her eyes the very second Aster landed on the ground, she stood up and her little body shone with a light green light as she floated towards Aster, she then swirled around him before wrapping her arms around Aster’s neck to hang on his back.

n“Big brother, look I can fly like you now~”.

nLet alone Aster, even Lilia couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow after seeing Kana maneuvering so skillfully, the only exception to the rule of learning how to glide through the air while being below the Stellar Constellation realm are normally wind attribute cultivators.

nBut they can’t move like Kana just did, they literally jump and extend the distance they can cover while slowing their fall, in fact not even a Stellar Constellation should be able to fly so smoothly in this planet due to the increase in the gravity.

nStill, Aster had his hands full right now, both figuratively and literally as he was carrying Camila while Kana was clinging to him, so he decided to wait to ask his mother what was happening.

nHe also noticed there were some “guests” waiting outside of the mansion, so he went to one of the many empty rooms and tried to let Camila down on the bed, so she could rest but… she refused to let go making the other girls giggle.

n“Perhaps her metal affinity got strong enough so she is attracted to you darling~”, said Lilia referring to the fact that the golden part of Aster’s blood had an unusual amount of minerals, it was denser like liquid metal instead of blood.

nAster chuckled, after the third try he managed to leave Camila on her bed, she hugged her pillow and continued peacefully sleeping.

nHe then turned to see Kana which was still hanging from him, just to see her giving him puppy eyes, making him inwardly sigh as it was quite hard to say no to her.

n“You can stay, but only while we see what those two outside want, after that we’ll take a bath okay?”.

n“Mm”, Kana happily nodded, after breaking through it was normal for a cultivator to expel impurities, while both Kana and probably too Camila didn’t seem to go through that or maybe the amount was so insignificant that it wasn’t noticeable, they still felt a bit uncomfortable.

nSurprisingly after seeing that no one was coming out, instead of leaving, the people outside of the mansion knocked on door which made Aster think they might have been a bit flashy, and he was right, as he opened the door, he saw Erick and his family as well as Tanner and Ritz waiting on the door, besides that there were other people curiously looking at them from their respective mansions.

nErick saw Kana was hanging from Aster’s back and he laughed, thinking they might be interrupting something.

n“Ahem, brother was you the one that caused the sky to turn silver a moment ago?”.

nAster raised an eyebrow, Erick lacked a bit in the common-sense department, since those things shouldn’t be discussed while there were so much people watching them, so he moved aside and invited them to enter.

nFelicia scolded her son as they all entered the mansion, before Lilia isolated it from the outside world, just in case someone wanted to peek at them.

nTanner cleared his throat as he took a seat along with the others before explaining why did he come.

n“Sorry for coming here without asking, but I received messages from all the elders at the different cities of the planet, telling me a celestial treasure was about to appear at the barren lands, and asking for an exploration force from the sect to claim it before anyone else”.

n“Although Felicia told me that it was just the phenomenon caused by the former supreme elder of the Wolfstein family surpassing her star tribulation, I wanted to confirm it because there are some curious people who are already heading there”.

nAster looked at Felicia which had a smiling expression as he nodded.

n“Yes, Camila’s advance was the cause of the change in the sky of the planet, I don’t mind if they go, but I think that land should be managed by your sect as it had become a good source of spirit metals”.

n“Don’t worry, I sent Adrian to put those guys in check… that metal was created due to that woman’s advance, so it’s her property, I already can’t repay this favor you have done to us”.

nAster frowned, but he then used his spirit sense and noticed a decent increase not only in the quality of the spirit energy, but even an increase in the metal element, in other words Camila’s advance improved the chances for other metal element cultivators, to advance faster.

n“Thanks for that, Camila is resting right now but tomorrow before leaving she’ll tell you her decision”.

nNow that he confirmed what he wanted to know, Tanner excused himself not before handing a spatial ring to Aster.

n“That is a little compensation for what happened earlier, my brother asked me to personally give it to you while he recovers, and also thanks you for having spared his life… he realized he was tricked by that woman”.

n“Also, I looked through our treasury, but I didn’t find anything that fitted the descriptions of the materials you wrote in that list, not have I heard anything about them”.

nAster inwardly sighed, the straightforward personality of the people from the Barbarian Heart sect can be a double-edged sword, with the correct people they can be the best allies, but for those with bad intentions they can be used as tools just like what happened to Simon.

n“Ok, with this, we can bury that matter in the past”, said Aster as he accepted the ring without looking at its contents.

nTanner nodded before leaving the mansion followed by Ritz, Erick, Tiana and Felicia on the other hand didn’t leave, and instead intensely looked at Aster making him feel weird.

n“What?”, he mumbled feeling goosebumps at the fact that even Erick was looking at him with sparks on his eyes.

n“Brother you already know that my sister has a constitution like me, right?”, said Erick as he tried to hold back the happiness he was feeling.

n“Yes, but I don’t know which one is it”.

nTiana smiled, she felt a bit proud that even Aster or his mother who seemed to be a really high ranked cultivator weren’t able to discern her secret.

n“It’s called “Heavenly Dawn” constitution and… it’s an energy type constitution”.

nThis time even Lilia couldn’t help but frown her eyebrows, but remembering they were at a really low ranked placed she shrugged before asking.

n“Little girl, how many people know about this?”.

n“Mm… only my parents, Erick and the people present in this room”.

nLilia nodded as she laid back against the couch while stretching her arms.

n“Although it’s not my specialty, I now the top ten constitutions of the three cultivation paths, and yours isn’t listed, since I couldn’t see through it that it should be either among the top three… or superior, so I suggest you to never mention it to anyone in whom you wouldn’t trust your life, the same goes for your mother”.

nTiana’s expression became serious, with some luck and a hell lot of vicious methods there exists a possibility that a constitution can be stolen although there might be side effects, similar to how the corrupted derived from a variation of Mylene’s lineage.

nFelicia sighed and then pulled on the cheek of her daughter as she slightly bowed towards Lilia.

n“Little girl, I told you to not say its name nor mention on which path it focused, can’t you be a bit more conscious about yourself… out of all the possible things you could have inherited from Baron, you got both got his clumsiness”.

n“As miss Lilia said, my daughter and me both have energy type constitutions, and we have kept it in secret since the moment we were born, but mine is called “Heavenly Behemoth” constitution”.

n‘Since when constitutions that even we can’t measure, became common’, thought Eric and Mylene as they stole some gazes at the room where Camila was resting, and also at Sarina and Kana.

nFelicia then directly looked at Aster before saying.

n“I want to know… are you able to change the quality of the spirit energy at will?”.

nBefore Aster could even say anything, Lilia, Alice, Aria, Eris, Mylene and even Kana glared at Felicia, looking as if she didn’t explain, they were ready to strike her down.

nAster on the other hand was more interested in how she knew it, Lilia placed a barrier around them and while the red particles filled the backyard of the palace, he was careful enough to only refine the spirit energy once it was inside the barrier.

nA Mortal Transcending cultivator can drag the spirit energy of his surroundings towards him quite easily, so there was nothing that could give them away, unless they surpassed Lilia’s cultivation, but for that a cultivator in the Heavenly realms would be needed.

nErick cleared his throat to draw everyone’s attention.

n“Brother, both my mother and sister can see, smell, hear and even sometimes “read” the spirit energy in their surroundings, it’s not something they can control, so when you did… whatever you did, they couldn’t help but notice it, I would have told you but Mom prohibited me to”.

nAster looked at his mother and the other girls which made them regain their calm, while your body and soul are owned by you, spirit energy exists almost everywhere, that’s why energy constitutions are the rarest among those known, to the point that those who are listed aren’t even close to the body or soul ones.

nThat’s why Lilia had no way to know that some energy constitutions connect the cultivators with the world.
