The rise of the pervert primordial

Inside his inner universe. Aster carefully observed his two cores just to make sure they didn't start fighting after getting each one a star, but apparently, they were in peace after getting what they wanted.

Although he didn't know what changes will having an extra core will bring him, unfortunately it was too early to know, the best manuals proportioned extra benefits after reaching certain points.

"According to the might of the dragon king manual, since I have the black hair characteristic once I reach the peak of the stellar constellation realm I should develop "Dragon aura", now that I think about it, I have never seen sis or mom suing the techniques granted by the manual".

Aster then shook his head, Lilia and Alice haven't met enemies that required them to give their all, and considering Alice now had the paragon body too, she probably left aside the ability designed for those with the red eye characteristic of the Drage family.

"I guess I'll ask those two to show how it works for them later".

After thinking about for a couple of seconds Aster left his inner universe, his eyes which were closed in the real world trembled before he opened them, at this point the dim blue currents formed by the condensation of spirit energy already either entered his body or dispersed again.

Lilia saw her son's eyes glowing with the excess of spirit energy for a second before they returned to normal and she smiled before hugging him from behind.

"Congratulations darling, you are now a stellar constellation realm cultivator, tell mommy what would you like as a reward ?".

Right now, Lilia was over the moon, unlike others her son didn't choose between quantity or quality, his star core was huge and he also filled it with spirit energy of an incredibly high purity, a proof of that was his battle prowess and his overwhelming spirit pressure.

It's not like he is the only one that has achieved it, she did something similar when she was younger after all, the difference was that she lived in a place with an infinitely better spirit energy quality.

Also, her bed and even her clothes had formations engraved which amplified the ratio at which she absorbed spirit energy, and then she was told to cultivate in a room with a spirit formation that used tons of spirit stones to create currents of it for her.

Unlike others her physique could keep up with the stress due to her high talent in body cultivation, and with the help of some other treasures she had a solid base.

In other words, she also became stellar axys realm cultivator after her inner universe was as good as it could be, even with all the resources and methods, it took her four years and three months to reach the peak of the stellar constellation realm.

And that was the record in the Drage family until a moment ago, as a mother Lilia was truly happy for her son and as a lover, she was proud of Aster.

The stellar constellation realm is important because that's when an inner universe can star calling itself an inner universe, prior to that there is only one star core alone floating in a vast space, although for Aster that wasn't the case due to Orionis and according to Rya, all the other stars will join in the future.

"My darling is the best", that sentence kept repeating in her head as she lovely rubbed her face against Aster's.

Aster simply stayed quiet and enjoyed the soft comfortable feeling of Lilia's skin.

"Mm?", he then noticed the world one meter around him seemed to be somehow brighter than the rest, his eyes looked downwards and he saw the spirit energy entering his dantian without him doing anything.

The sole thought made him frown, only a mortal transcending realm cultivator can absorb spirit energy just by breathing without the need to meditate, of course the amount can't compare to what it would be in a proper cultivation session.

But the fact is that only after surpassing the star tribulation realm one can be considered a true cultivator, besides some special existences, living beings can't absorb spirit energy by innate and it must develop a dantian to become cultivators before doing so, the same applies to beast getting their cores and something similar happens with spirit herbs etc.

Becoming a mortal transcending cultivator means leaving that weakness behind, the body adapts itself to spirit energy so that a simple unconscious action like breathing, pulls spirit energy towards the cultivator, that is one of the things a real mortal transcending cultivator can take pride in.

The guy from Riga that used Valentine as nourishment which Aster killed before wasn't a real mortal transcending cultivator, he forcefully advanced avoiding his star tribulation by devouring the vitality, so of course he couldn't do it.

So just to make sure Aster decided to do a little test, without stopping Lilia from spoiling him, he turned to see Eris before saying.

"Eris can you use your "divine sense" to see if there is spirit energy entering my body right now?".

ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ

Eris nodded in response; her eyes seemed to glow for a split of a second before she shook her head.

"I can't see anything, do you feel bad?", she asked in a slightly worried voice, all the girls knew Aster's cultivation way was completely different to others, so as a pioneer in his own path, he will have to experience and sort obstacles no one has seen or heard of before.

Lilia heard her son's words and she immediately scanned him from head to toe with her spirit sense, she understood why he asked Eris to do it, she is a soul cultivator which in her prime surpassed the soul queen realm, something never heard of in the known universe.

Surprisingly unlike Eris, Lilia did notice how spirit energy was entering Aster's body, but it wasn't similar to what she knows happen after the mortal transcending realm, instead of being absorbed, it was more as if the spirit energy voluntarily entered her son's body.

Not only that when she focused in the area below Aster's navel where the dantian is, she felt a strangely familiar feeling, as if something that was related to her, was inside her son's dantian.

Lilia doubted for a moment before her pretty red like eyes were practically shining like rubies, as she exclaimed.

"Darling, did you jump all the way to the mortal transcending realm?".

"What!", Both Eris and Mylene couldn't help but shout in surprise due to Lilia's words, at first, they thought it was impossible, but then a star formation realm member of the young generation easily cutting through the defense of a sea of knowledge cultivator wasn't also nearly impossible, and Aster still did it.

Aster enjoyed the surprised reactions of the three girls for a couple, he then peeked at his inner universe and saw the one at fault of all this situation.

While his star core was quietly staying there, Orionis rotating and letting out black light, surprisingly the spirit energy wasn't directly being absorbed by it, instead it was dispersed through all the place free for his star core and the copies to absorb.

"Well, that clears any doubt, the stars are definitely similar to their maidens", he mumbled.

While Lilia always claimed the "first wife" position, ultimately all what she did was for the sake of him, to the point that she didn't mind helping the other girls… or even bringing new girls to the family.

Aster didn't doubt for a second that if he asked, his mother would do everything for to make things easier for the family or him, even Rya wasn't excluded from that.

And apparently Orionis was the same, even under Rya's seal, the star somehow helped him on the condensation of the soul weapon, and now it was by itself pulling spirit energy from the atmosphere to increase the speed at which he nurtured his inner universe.

Aster couldn't help but wonder what was the ability of Orionis, after he started condensing the soul weapon it became more active than the other stars, which silently helped him like Rigel whose flames purified his soul energy without him noticing, or Pollux which has been integrating with his body.

After a moment of contemplation, he simply shook his head, since Orionis blocked others from noticing how spirit energy was being absorbed at all times, then there was no need to worry about it, even Eris and Mylene who used divine sense instead of spirit sense couldn't see it, then no one should discover it.

Aster stopped focusing in his inner universe and his eyes cleared as he returned to the real world.

He then turned his body around and without any warning placed his mother on his lap, before gently kissing her.

Lilia was taken by surprise but she didn't resist and instead enjoyed receiving his love, once Aster stopped the kiss, he caressed his mother's face before saying.

"I'm only an early-stage stellar constellation cultivator, but a certain overprotective mother's star has become a part of my inner universe, giving me an extra core that's why even as we speak spirit energy is being absorbed by my dantian, similar to what those from the mortal transcending realm and above can do".

Lilia giggled, she rested her head on her son's chest and remained like that, while she didn't mention it, she was a bit unhappy about her star not helping her son unlike Alice or Aria's ones, but now that spec of jealousy dissipated.

"Ahem, I will leave so you can… have some privacy, congratulations on your advance Aster", said Eris before leaving the room.

"Same here congratulations and later show us your inner universe, I have never heard of someone having two cores at the early stage of the stellar constellation realm after all".

After saying that Mylene followed Eris out of Lilia's room.

Eris and Mylene felt a bit out of place seeing them flirting that's why they left not without congratulating Aster from the bottom of their hearts.

Instead of feeling jealous or worried, they were happy for him, these two princesses who only had subordinates and relatives which weren't trust worthy, without noticing started considering Aster as a friend.
