Three years and nine months had gone by since they arrived in Distancia.

Yasenia was reviewing a few documents about the opening of the sect. After all this time, it was already time to open it to the public.

Their remote location, defensive formations, natural defense of the area, the current size of the Astral Sky Clan, and other factors made it more than possible to operate it.

'The Astral Point System has been refined. I've also created enough tasks in the mission Hall regarding sect management, material collection, hunting, and many other categories for disciples from mortal up to the Mental Nourishing realm.'

Yasenia looked at the data on another file and nodded. 'Considering the level of the world's top powerhouses, disciples, teachers, and elders above the third realm should have enough freedom to go outside instead of get stronger with tasks.'

Yasenia stored everything and jumped on top of a tall building overlooking the entire basin from her high-altitude vantage point. 'There are enough facilities, formations, and landmarks to house tens of thousands of people without problems. We've also opened a library and armory with various levels. The higher the member's sect's prestige, the higher they will be able to climb and gain rewards. This will create incentives and competition.'

Yasenia summoned her sword and mounted it, flying across the sect. 'Now, I would need a first batch that will act as elders and then accept thousands of disciples. Thankfully, I made preparations in my first month here, and now I've grown my Astral Sky Clan enough to serve as a foundation for the sect.'

Yasenia pondered. 'I will take eighty percent of the clan's top-ranked people to live here, leaving behind enough people to keep the Astral Sky Shops we've opened working. According to estimates, this mountain basin can comfortably support half a million people. With about three million while feeling a bit cramped.'

Yasenia imagined managing so many people, and her lips twitched with annoyance. 'I will start slowly. A sect is different from a clan, and survival of the fittest applies. Rules and regulations will be in place, but since the entry test will be much laxer, more than a few bad apples will probably mix in. There will probably be deaths and other problems within the sect... Well, whatever.'

Yasenia shook her head. 'My accumulation of body cultivation techniques of all kinds is also in the thousands, with almost fifteen heaven-ranked ones, so we are not any less than the top-ranked sects. Not to mention, our books, scrolls, and jade slips about professions and other techniques are probably unrivaled. We've kept the most important ones restricted, but information up the middle-level of the Earth rank is available to be bought.'

Yasenia looked at one of the most significant buildings and nodded. 'The Cultivation Mall for other powers to open their shops here is also done. My reputation item-making wise is resounding by now, and powers won't miss the chance to open a shop near ours because we attract a lot of attention. I've also been careful enough not to eat their market share too much and created competition instead of monopoly.'

Yasenia smiled, and her tail swished calmly as her body flew across the sect's sky.

She saw a pillar of black light in the distance, piercing toward the sky and beyond, and her smile widened as her golden eyes shone with radiance. 'Oh? Mom's formation is finally activating. Perfect. It's time to become a first-rate power and stop being scared of the major powers.'

Yasenia manipulated her sword, and her body became a shooting star as she flew in that direction.

During the next two weeks, like a bolt of lightning in a clear sky, the opening of the [Astral Sky Sect] spread worldwide.

The main reason was that during these last years, people have seen shops of this clan more often than not.

By the time people began noticing the Astral Sky Clan's existence, almost twelve Main Cities and many lower-ranked cities had one shop.

Unlike the primary shops in Koran City, they were not big, but the products they sold were always out of stock because of their high quality and popularity.

The receptionists were always of the highest quality, and the items never disappointed.

A few heard that even the capital of the Lamia Clan, Lobster Clan, and Harpy Clan had one shop, and their products were top-rated even there.

With the knowledge of the Astral Sky Sect, a few rumors of the mysterious leader also spread around.

The fact that the Matriarch liked collecting things, like humans, cultivation techniques, and rare resources, was not a secret.

Moreover, what made people recently investigating them widen their eyes was that Formation-wise, they had, at some point, become a leading power!

They couldn't help but praise the leader repeatedly. She came silently, with swift maneuvers, and by the time the world took notice, the roots of the Astral Sky clan were digging deeply into the Distancia Continent's arteries.

For the residents of Distancia, the Astral Sky Clan was like a hidden dragon that suddenly opened its wings and soared to the sky, casting a shadow on them while hovering with a lofty status above all.

While the news spread like wildfire, in the capital of the Holy Beast Empire, a beautiful woman with a girl-next-door appearance, brown hair, and honey-colored eyes walked down the street when she heard a conversation.

"Have you heard about the Astral Sky Clan opening a sect?"

She has heard this name frequently recently, so she stopped to listen out of curiosity. 'These people are making waves…'

"Of course, I've heard. I wish I could join. I've heard that their Matriarch is not only strong and intelligent, she is like a goddess that fell from the firmament."

A middle-aged woman joined. "Yes, yes. I had the chance to catch a glance when they opened their shop in the city a few hundred kilometers south. Oh, my heavens, I felt like a young girl again as my stomach fluttered, and she had a veil covering half her face! I sometimes can't help but fantasize about her."

The beautiful brown-haired girl lifted her eyebrow. 'A bit exaggerated, aren't they?' A particular pair of golden eyes crossed her mind, and she shook her head. 'If they saw that woman, they would know what real beauty that can make countries fight for a smile is.'

Another man nearby, one with reptile features, sighed with emotion. "Sigh, you have only seen her for a distance, but I had the luck of being in the queue when she entered one of the Astral Sky Shops. Her charming and long dragon tail was so captivating… It was like a piece of the night sky was plucked and printed on her dragon scales."

The listening woman's eyebrow jumped, and she approached. "Excuse me. I was listening from the side and became curious about her. Can I hear a little bit about this mysterious person?"

They turned their heads and saw a woman with a human appearance approaching. They frowned at first, but soon, their scowls disappeared.

There was a strange aura around her, and they felt a peculiar beast aura around her. It was illusory, and before they could think deeply about it, they ignored it and refocused on what the woman said.

One of them answered. "If I'm not confused, her name is Yasenia Dravory, a female dragon that has soared to the sky of top-level powerhouses in just a few years. I heard the sect is situated in the southeast part of the continent. If you know about the secret realm that is about to open, it's not that far. I have a friend who went to see the sect location in the past, and it was an unexplored land full of natural resources! However, the dangers there were too high, and a strange nauseating aura made him get out of there."

The man pondered. "If the Astral Sky Sect was created there, the Matriarch must have cleaned that location."

The woman became dazed, and her honey-colored eyes widened.

An emotionless voice spread in her mind.

[Host, this is a great opportunity. You've been wandering around without roots. Since it is her sect, you'll probably be able to join without fear of being discovered as a human.]

'But what about my lovers? Will they be able to enter?'

[Host, there shouldn't be any problems. Moreover, you have that little princess already in love with you.]

Sarah looked at her system interface and saw a window with the name of eight lovers and another name floating in the "target" section.

'System, how much does it cost the talent increase for lovers?'

[Host, your current points are 33,760. Each lover needs five thousand shop points for the lowest enhancement. However, that enhancement should make them comparable to a genius in this world. Then, 50,000 for the medium enhancement, 500,000 for the genius enhancement, and so on. The highest enhancement is the 50,000,000,000 shop points worth Godlike Talent increase.]

Sarah frowned. 'That's quite expensive.'

[Host. Remember that gaining Yasenia's heart rewards you with a billion points. Enough to gift very high-level talent to twenty lovers.]

Sarah looked at the archived mission again and still felt absurd. 'The rewards are too exaggerated. It feels as if the objective is not a junior but a high-level goddess. Are you sure I can complete this quest? It feels like a scam, to be honest.'

The points she earned with her system were related to seducing others and doing lover stuff.

After all, the system was called [Harem Goddess System].

The points she gained varied from person to person.

Among the many factors regulating the point gain, talent, cultivation level, body constitution, bloodline, and love for her mattered the most.

The fact that gaining Yasenia's honest love was worth a billion points was unimaginable for her when the next person with the most points she had met with a reward for capturing until now was the little princess of the Holy Beast Empire, giving her 100,000 points.

To compare them, these were the two numbers side by side: 1,000,000,000 and 100,000.

[System alert. Energy waves from creatures of the True Abyss have been detected in the roots of the world. According to the signal, these signals were created many months ago. The system could not catch them earlier because the souls of the creatures had forcefully been displaced to another realm.]

Sarah was stunned. 'Different realm? True Abyss? What the hell are you talking about?'

[Insufficient authority. To learn about the True Abyss, the host must gather a total of ten million points].

Sarah sighed. 'At least tell me where it happened so I can avoid it. You don't want your host to die against something like that, right?'

[Host. According to the data collected, this event happened months ago, near the location where Yasenia Dravory's Sect has been created.]

Sarah's eyes flashed with conflicted feelings. 'Since the sect is established, either Yasenia is from this strange True Abyss, or she has defeated creatures I need ten million points to start knowing about...'

[Host. Either possibility is absurd.]

Sarah sneered. 'Weren't you unable to sense anything about Yasenia?'

[Host. I beg you to be merciful with this system for being unable to peer into her fate. However, I could discern that her bloodline had nothing to do with the True Abyss back then. The energy signals are too easy to recognize.]

Sarah sighed. 'Fair.'

[Host. Yasenia Dravory being able to defeat them strength-wise is similarly impossible. The creature had an equivalent cultivation to the Dantian Spiritualization Realm. Moreover, they knew [Abyss Chaos Intent]. Therefore, it is impossible for a less than thirty-year-old from a medium world to defeat them.]

Sarah nodded. 'Would you be able to if I use the body overtaking method?'

[Host. I must remind you that you've used all the free chances. To use it, you currently need ten thousand per ten minutes. Answering the question: It would be a difficult fight. My chances of winning would only be 70.9898%]

Sarah's eyebrow twitched. 'Didn't I say only to use one decimal at most when telling me the odds?'

[Host. Understood.]

After pondering for a while, Sarah used her communication device.

"Girls, we are going to enter a sect. Come to my room at night. I have a present for all of you."

Then, she called the little dragon princess from the Holy Beast Empire. "Xiao Long, I'm Sarah."

A soft and cute voice was heard from the device. "Sarah! I miss you a lot." Then, she said shyly. "Can you give me that massage you gave me the other day? I- um. I felt excited and like floating~."

Sarah looked at the seventy-nine affection points and nodded. "Sure, come to my room tonight."

Sarah cut the connection and pondered after speaking a few sentences with her. 'After I gain the 100,000 from her, I'll increase all their talents and also pay 50,000 to increase mine. Nine people, including the little princess, will be 45,000, and the 50,000 for myself, leaving me with an extra 5,000.'

Her face became a bit strange. 'The little princess is triple my age, but she acts so cute that sometimes I feel like I'm doing something illegal. Moreover… She is taller than me by a head, and her breasts are bigger than my head… Are all dragons this well-endowed?'

She shook her head, and with a plan, she began moving.

**************************************************************

Kali: Ho? Is Sarah making a comeback?

Angel: She built her own harem? Strange, she was so in love with Yasenia…

Yasenia: Does it matter? Although… I'm curious about what will happen. How will I react?

Evelyn: That's a strange thing to say…

Andrea: Agreed, hahaha.

Author: We'll see~. I summon you!

dezwon quinn: Hello~.

Kali: Welcome back!

Author: Well, what is the question?

dezwon quinn: Respected seniors, what is the farthest you've seen some with incompatible elements and constitution make it in their cultivation road?

Tatyana: I'm limited by my own cultivation. The highest is the early level of the Transcendence Realm.

dezwon quinn: What happened?

Tatyana: She tried to flirt with me, so I killed her.

dezwon quinn: O-Oh…

Valeria: In my case. There was a mid-level Demigod that controlled darkness and light elements very nicely. Sadly, he angered the Divines, and he was eventually killed.

dezwon quinn: I see…

Mirrory: Well… One of my users was a rare Ice and Fire attributed cultivator. He did not bad.

dezwon quinn: How far did he go?

Mirrory: *Spoiler*

Mirrory: …

Author: Cough, ranks above the seventh realm can't be discussed yet…

Mirrory: Whatever.

dezwon quinn: Well, thanks for answering. It's a shame that I will forget what I heard when I leave here…

Author: And that's all for today~. Have a nice day!
