“Uncle!”, the sole Law Integration member of the Hunter’s family group rushed towards the passed out black clothed man and started feeding him pills and elixirs in a hurry, helping him recover a bit of color, even his missing limbs started regenerating but he didn’t recover his senses.

The other people present frowned, the attack from the woman in the palanquin was strong but it didn’t have the intent to kill, otherwise at least one of them would have interfered, just to mess with the Myriad Occupation sect, so after being fed all those pills the black clothed man should have regained his senses.

We are talking about a half step Heavenly realm cultivator, the speed at which they refine spirit energy and resources is on another level, so the only thing they could think about being the reason of the current state of the black clothed man is the retaliation he suffered when he tried to steal that corpse from Aster.

The Law Integration cultivator from the Hunter family, turned to see some of the acquittances of his family in order to ask them to take a look at his uncle’s state, just to see them ignoring him.

The contempt on their faces was obvious, they weren’t going to risk being affected by whatever that had caused the black clothed man’s weakened state, since any group without a half step Heavenly realm cultivator practically had no voice in the current situation.

‘What a fool, he should have sent a Void Manipulation to test the waters, well not that it’s not understandable that a family affiliated to the Bloodline Tower goes crazy over obtaining possible new strong lineage origin’, thought the green robed man from the Supreme Elemental sect.

While the Law Integration member of the Hunter family took his uncle away along with his group, a bunch of distortions activated at the same time, drawing the attention from all the presents.

But they felt rather disappointed when they saw that the things that poured out of them, were actually just high-grade spirit jades, it’s normal for them to appear out of the distortions, since spirit jades form in places with high concentrations of spirit energy, so they didn’t ignite the greed of the observers unlike the corpse.

However, that changed when out of the last distortion a table sized piece of land with a sole herb at its center, came out.

‘Aster, that piece of land contains divine energy!’, Mylene’s excited voice, reached Aster’s ears the very moment that distortion opened, he couldn’t help but chuckle upon seeing both hers and Eris’s eyes sparkle upon the sight of that piece of land.

After sending a quick message to a couple of people, Aster flashed towards his target and without any suspense took the piece of land, this time he didn’t sent it to his spatial ring though.

Instead, he carried the thing with his right hand and then casually flew back to where the girls were, on the way he even looked towards the elders of the different groups that earlier clearly wanted to steal the corpse from him, but didn’t dare to act, as if to mock them.

“Here you go”, said Aster as he offered the piece of land to Mylene who sent it into her spatial ring at lightspeed.

“Thanks~”, with a happy smile, the pink haired girl thanked Aster, just to feel a bunch of gazes fall on her, while some of the young girls from the Black Sword faction gossiped among themselves, making Mylene’s face redden a bit.

Rumors about Aster going to crazy extents when it came to courting women, became a thing after the auction when he casually dropped half a billion spirit jades to buy the stone tablet, while saying that it wasn’t worth mentioning it, when compared to the happiness of his lover.

So, for the others it looked as if Aster risked his life just to see her smile, something which Aster counted up with.

‘He did it on purpose, humph’, inwardly exclaimed Mylene as she saw the slight smirk on Aster’s face, speaking of which Camila suddenly found herself at a loss, she was receiving equal attention from those curious girls and she didn’t know why, she was asleep when Aster declared that all those spirit jades were used just to see her smile.

So, the poor treasure girl didn’t know about it, until now that is, since she saw Aster chuckling at her and felt the urge to dig a hole to hide.

‘What did he do when I was sleeping!’, she screamed in her heart.

The previous scene, made the elders and representatives from the other forces grit their teeth, while they lost subordinates, the bastard that reaped the benefits was casually flirting with beauties, it was too much, no add to that the fact that William openly laughed at them like a madman before shouting.

“Disciples of the Myriad Occupation sect, with my authority as the Guardian I declare that seventy percent of whatever you obtain is yours to keep, follow the example of the Lord of the Twin Sword Valley!”.

The previous announcement, reverberated throughout the sky, causing different reactions, normally one’s sect, family, force or backer will take a part of whatever someone obtains in a secret ream, or any other opportunity obtained through them.

A seventy-thirty distribution ratio is quite normal, but the biggest share is always for the sect not for the disciple, of course this can be adjusted depending on the disciple in question, but we are talking about special cases, such as the top five core disciples, official successors to important positions or holy sons and holy maidens, such as Aster.

William however just declared that regardless of rank, whatever the disciples got would be mostly kept by them, it was a huge benefit.

“Tsk, to think the Myriad Occupation sect would stoop as low as to bribe their own disciples to boos their morale, what a cheap trick to make them risk their lives…”, the silver clothed half step Heavenly realm protector from the Supreme Elemental sect, who suffered a loss at Valentina’s hands earlier, snorted as he criticized William, just for him to see how practically all the two hundred disciples from the Myriad Occupation immediately departed, making him swallow his words.

What he didn’t know is that before going after that piece of land, Aster informed William and Valentina of the “rules” to obtain the things that were coming out of the distortions.

With his dragon eyes, he saw a “blur” which originated from both the corpse and the distortion from which it came, the moment those guys tried to get it, the one from the corpse directly killed those guys while the one from the distortion, simply heavily injured them.

That being said, Aster didn’t know what conditions triggered those “blurs”, but since he saw that those at the early stages of the Void Manifestation suffered though still heavy, lighter injuries, he judged that a lower realm resulted in a lower reaction, so he decided to go for it, worst case scenario he had the invincibility of the Paragon Body.

Naturally when he was allowed to take the corpse, he made sure to return slowly to lure someone to attack him and it worked, he then got to see and experience those “blurs” being triggered, the blur coming from the corpse passed near him but ignored him while instead focusing on the black clothed man, somehow messing him up from the inside.

While the one coming from the distortion, basically expanded in every direction within the areas where distortions were active, marking anyone who was in the Transcending realms, regardless of whether they were aiming to get the corpse or not.

That’s how he ruled out the triggering conditions being that one had to be at the Transcending realms or above, curiously he first tried with soul enhances spirit sense but wasn’t able to discern anything, just like the half step Heavenly realm cultivators who even at this point didn’t know how the Hunter family’s elder, ended like that.

Then he tried to use the combination of his dragon eyes along soul enhanced spirit sense, which is the strongest detection ability Aster had, with which he saw through the Rock Gigas Andras, back at Esmeralda’s realm and the result was the same, nothing, but he also felt a certain sting on his eyes when he did.

So, he lastly tried with only dragon eyes and it worked, he got to see the blurs, it was strange that the improved version didn’t work, but the basic one did, but that’s how things were.

Seeing the disbelief as he saw the composed and merry expressions on the faces of the disciples from the Myriad Occupation sect as they ignored any danger for their lives by rushing towards the spirit jades that were coming out of the distortions, Agnes snorted at the silver clothed protector of the Supreme Elemental sect before saying.

“It’s not the distribution but the one they are following what boosted their morale”, she wasn’t lying, after most outsiders left the sect, the top hundred of the Heavenly Rankings, be it for inner or core disciples, were mostly conformed of members of the Black Sword faction.

And they either, blindly admired, trusted or liked Aster quite a bit at this point, not to mention that they saw him take the risk to test the path ahead of them, so when they saw him nod at them after William’s declaration, they connected the dots and knew that Aster was behind the sudden increase in their rewards, so they charged practically at the same time as when William gave the order.

“Humph, aren’t you being too “good” to them?”, said Alice as she gave Aster a suspicious gaze, to which Aster bitterly smiled in response.

“Those are just spirit jades, besides the minor distortions were originally their mission, so they deserve to obtain some rewards as well”, said Aster making Alice pout, until she heard her beloved brother’s voice directly in her head.

‘I have noticed some “special” distortions which I’ll reserve for our group, I’ll assign them in a moment’, he said to then proceed to explain what he learned about the distortions to everyone in the group, making Alice smile since her beloved brother kept the best stuff for them, or in her imaginary world, he did it exclusively for her.

Back at the real world, a bunch more of distortions activated in the sky, this time not only spirit jades but other kinds of resources such as pieces of ores and spirit herbs, poured out of them.

The elders of the other forces saw the girls from the Myriad Occupation sect taking everything for themselves and they finally couldn’t hold back anymore.

“What are you bastards waiting for, go and show them the might of the Iron Hall of the Supreme Elemental sect!”, after being yelled at by the silver clothed protector, the gray clothed disciples of the Supreme Elemental sect gritted their teeth, but ultimately obeyed.

Influenced by the silver clothed elder, the other protectors of all the other forces gave their orders making their young generations fly towards the distortions that showed signs of activation, even rogue cultivators soared into the sky looking for an opportunity to obtain some treasures.

While the previous scene repeated throughout the whole area, Aster who was scanning all the distortions with his dragon eyes, looking for those whose signs of activation were similar to the one from which the corpse came out, frowned as he saw a four people group approaching them.

Sёarᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

They were the two Mortal Transcending realm guys that led the young members of the Redheart family, in other words Iris’s cousins, behind of them the two female protectors at the half step Heavenly Realm, followed.

“Older sister told us to bring you back with us, for now go and join our team, cousin”, said the youngest of the two guys, which made the three sisters, snort.

“You didn’t even come to greet sister Iris when you arrived and now you want her to join you, just for the sake of benefits”, exclaimed the oldest sister, Lina.

“Shameless”, in a rare occasion, Mina, the sister in the middle raised her voice, given that she is a rather quiet girl.

“Shut up, how dare you miserable servants speak out of turn!”, shouted the older guy as he reprimanded those two with a sly light shining on his eyes, naturally the two sisters got angry and they weren’t the only ones, Aster could feel Iris’s aura sharpening like an unsheathed sword.

But before she could reach the handle of her sword, Aster stopped her to then smirk as he took piece of paper out of his ring before throwing it at the older guy.

“Let alone taking her anywhere, if you want so much as to even speak to her, you better have the payment ready”, he said.

The older guy frowned for a second, not understanding what was the black-haired youth talking about, but everything became crystal clear as he read the contents written on that paper, his expression turned grimmer by second and by the end he was practically shaking on his place.

“What the hell is this!”, he shouted, the further he read into the materials listed, the angrier he became, he hadn’t heard of more than half of them and the ones he recognized were things that even he as a direct descendant of the main branch of the Blazeheart family, wouldn’t dare to covet, since they were probably in the private collection of either the Matriarchs, Supreme elders or worse, the Ancestors.

“Those are the materials that miss Iris asked from me, if I remember correctly, one of her friends was suffering from some kind of illness that couldn’t be cured even by the alchemists and medics of her family, so we made a deal as you can see”, casually said Aster as he pointed at Nina who was now perfectly healthy.

‘No way, there is no trace of whatever was torturing that bitch, she is actually completely cured!’, inwardly exclaimed the two female protectors, they hadn’t paid any attention to Nina until now and simply thought that she didn’t speak up earlier because she was still in a weak state.

“Nonsense, there is no way you had all these things in your hands!”, shouted the younger guy as he burned the copy of the contract, to which Nina mockingly pointed at herself before saying.

“The proof is here, so if you don’t have the payment, get lost”.

“Kid I don’t know what they gave you to take their side, but don’t try to deceive us, you don’t know who you are messing with”, said the older guy while gritting her teeth, making Aster coldly laugh.

“I don’t negotiate with servants, go back and bring someone with real authority, as in having the power to empty the whole main treasury of the

Blazeheart

family”, he said making emphasis in the word “Blazeheart”.

That wasn’t all, those two realized that Aster was talking directly with the protectors, completely ignoring them, in other words they were the “servants” in his eyes, the protectors also felt humiliated, because they belonged to secondary branches, so of course they had nowhere near the authority to even retrieve something from the main treasury of their family.

What’s more, the black-haired youth even called them “Blazeheart” straight to their faces, it was a complete and unadulterated insult for them who considered themselves, Redheart family members.

Regardless of the previous, let alone their young miss, not even the Matriarch of the Blazeheart family, had the authority to empty the treasury, so he basically told them that if they wanted to negotiate, they had to go and bring their Ancestor to him.

Which was basically asking them to go and die, since the Ancestor will probably burn them alive if they passed the message, so as you can imagine the two protectors were livid, still seeing that the two guys were about to start a fight and feeling the gaze of the woman in the palanquin as well as William who were floating in the sky, observing from afar. they forcefully swallowed their anger.

They weren’t even sure of being able to handle William in a 2v1 fight and the woman in the palanquin earlier easily crushed one leg and one arm of the elder from the Hunter family, sure the Redheart family by itself was stronger than the Hunter family, but the woman in the palanquin used strength only equal to the Law Integration realm, to crush a half step Heavenly realm cultivator, so unlike them, she should be a direct descendant from the main branch of a second tier force at least.

“There is no use in talking anymore, just remember it kid, you’ll regret it”, said one of the protectors before they flew away, dragging those two alongside them.

Seeing Aster not only easily humiliating those guys but also using their own tactic against them, Iris couldn’t help but softly laugh, she knew that they were trying to provoke her but she couldn’t help but get angry when they insulted those three.

“Thanks, Aster”, she said with a fresh smile on her pretty face, as a straight forward person it’s not like she is reckless or dense enough to not recognize a scheme, but she solves her problems with her sword, that’s how it has always been, so this was a new experience for her.

“No problem, if being shameless isn’t your thing, I’ll do it for you, that’s what friends are for after all”, jokingly said Aster, which made Iris’s eyes shine for a second before she nodded as she returned to her usual self.

“Mm, I’ll count on you from now on”, she said.

“Speaking of shameless, you little girl didn’t come out and help your sisters, but fiercely stood up for someone else”, added the older sister Lina as she pinched the cheeks of the youngest sister, Nina.

“Ouch, sis that hurts”, said Nina, making her older sister snort as she let go of her.

Nina rubbed her face to sooth the pain before saying.

“When I wanted to speak, you, sister Mina and sister Iris were already prepared to unsheathe your swords, how was I supposed to speak in that situation… also it felt really nice to tell those guys to get lost~”.

The other two sisters didn’t know what to say, after she recovered, they noticed that their younger sister had become somehow livelier but didn’t know why.

‘Perhaps is a side effect of the pill she ate, I’ll ask sister Layla for one later’, thought the oldest, Lina.
