Chapter 576 Sarina’s Wings (part 3)
Aster chuckled but didn’t deny it, instead of that his golden eyes glowed as he carefully observed all the process of Sarina using the ability that her lineage granted her.
Now, not all the lineages made their respective owners, manifest a physical trait in the infant stage, it varied from lineage to lineage, for example, Eris and Mylene, those two come from a “bloodline” type family, similar to the Drage, which means that the center of power of their families is their lineage.
Lineages are technically the “easiest” kind of special power to obtain, since in most cases they are passed down to offspring without any problem, in comparison constitutions don’t work like that, even if one of the parents has a constitution, their children might or might now inherit it.
That being said, the previous doesn’t make lineages weak or common, in the strict meaning of the word, anyone who can legate something through its blood to its descendants, is creating a lineage.
But, in the cultivation world, it can only be called a lineage if at least one people among the youngest generation can also pass said something to its next three generations of offspring and so on, and many lose that capacity as the blood thins.
And when that happens, one is no longer considered to be a part of a Bloodline family, those are considered fallen families, as they lost the legacy of their ancestors, such was the case of the Wolfstein, until recently, since Camila, now has enough blood concentration to pass down the Wolfstein lineage to her offspring.
Anyway, reaching the infant stage will grant the owner of the lineage an ability but not always a physical trait, that’s something the Might of the Drakon King manual, which is what Aster, Alice and Lilia were using to cultivate in the Mortal Realms, spoke about.
‘So, when there is a physical trait, it is connected the innate ability obtained, now that I think about it, mom and Alice are yet to realize what their abilities are’, thought Aster as he saw that when Sarina was turning other things into spirit energy for her, the meridians that were used to absorb the produced spirit energy were in her wings.
There were two sets of meridians in her wings, one acted to let out some kind of invisible to the eye energy which is what was used to turn other things into spirit energy, for Aster’s dragon eyes, her feathers were radiating small particles constantly, those meridians were directly connected to her dantian.
Then when those particles turned the materials into spirit energy, the latter was absorbed by her wings once again, this time using a different set of meridians that was directly connected to the specific meridians used by each of the attributes she had.
In other words, the spirit energy she obtained this way didn’t pass through Sarina’s dantian, which means that she can’t store it there, which can be seen as a disadvantage but it can also be an advantage, to make spirit energy circulate from one’s dantian, spirit energy is needed, it’s not a joke to say that energy cultivators are a bottomless pit of spirit energy, they use energy for almost all they do.
That being said, it’s not like the spirit energy has to be used as soon as obtained, based on the fact that her feathers had gained a certain glow to them, her wings acted as a temporary medium for the spirit energy obtained this way.
It’s indeed amazing, Sarina can obtain more spirit energy, and this process doesn’t require spirit energy to be done, instead it consumes stamina, which is what body cultivators use when they fight, it makes sense since the origin of this ability is her lineage.
“It’s indeed an ability akin to a lineage that outstands in terms of battling and cultivating in the energy path, with this they can keep fighting even when they run out of juice, it’s as if they have two reserves of spirit energy…”, mumbled Aster.
The previous sounded amazing, for people whose biggest talents lie in the energy path, but that also comes with a problem, at least one from Aster’s point of view.
“They probably used the body path as just a battery for the energy path, what a waste considering that just by descending from spirit beasts, their physical bodies are strong by innate, that’s why they declined until the appearance of the Breezeheart matriarch, and yet I don’t think she took the body path seriously, otherwise she would have for sure been able to kill her sister without any problem”, concluded Aster.
Ever since he got to hear the history of the Breezeheart, he decided to never let the history repeat itself, Kana will never be a sacrifice and Sarina won’t have to use her life to obtain a tragic victory and for that reason he has always gone as far as he could to obtain the best of the best for them, and also theorizing how to help them take advantage of their potentials to the best.
Aster felt a ticklish sensation on his neck and he looked downwards, just to see the little snake which was coiled around his neck, sleeping until a second ago, licking him with its little tongue as if trying to get his attention.
asked Aster.
Though her brought Espi, the little snake wasn’t going to “What, you want more of my blood, even after all the one you used for your advance, aren’t you as much of a glutton as Kana?”, jokingly asked Aster.
Though her brought Espi, the little snake wasn’t going to participate, this was Mira’s suggestion, she said that it was beneficial for Espi to sleep and be near Aster at least for the next month after its advance, being within the same planet was still fine, which is why he didn’t bring the little thing to their dates, with the exception of the date with Vivian.
But Espi didn’t come out and stayed coiled around Aster’s shoulder during the whole thing, it woke up this time, because it smelled the scent of Aster’s blood, and now it was giving Aster puppy eyes, asking for some of it.
Aster softly laughed, as he took out a vial of his blood and gave it to the little snake, which enthusiastically drank the contents of it, to then let out some happy hisses as it rubbed its head against Aster’s face.
“Hisss~”, after expressing its gratitude, the little snake returned to its slumber, while coiling around his shoulder hiding below Aster’s clothes.
Aster softly laughed, that little thing was quite similar to Kana in many ways, maybe that’s why it got along so good with her, despite that little episode, Aster never stopped paying attention to Sarina, which is why he saw another spark of mist flames appearing, meaning she had to start all over again, one more time.
Aster smirked and then pressed the tips of his index fingers against each other, which earned him a nice reaction from Sarina on the spot.
“Uuhhh~”, her pretty face reddened as she opened her eyes to then accusingly gaze at Aster as she covered her chest with her hands, Aster had used telekinesis to tease her nipples.
Aster laughed at her cute reaction, he then stood up, after seeing the process twice, he more or less has gotten the hang of it, that was part of the marvelous analyzing ability that his dragon eyes granted him.
That and the fact that he could see the “flaws” on things, allowing him to solve them without wasting time trying to find them, and also be sure of truly solving them and not just some temporary solution.
He stood behind of Sarina and then caressed the feathers of her wings once again, as he whispered at her.
“You know that I can only see the “flaws” of things up to their current level, meaning that they have to be solved as one advances, for example, the last time I sneaked a peek at Alice’s tail with my dragon eyes, it was completely flawless, but that was only to the level at which she controlled her tail at that point”.
“The same applies to you, until a moment ago, there were no flaws in your wings, you were perfectly using them for your realm, and to obtain more of Antares’s mist flames, but now that you are not only focusing on them anymore, a “flaw” has appeared in your wings”.
Aster could see the unwavering determination in Sarina’s eyes, she wasn’t disappointed by the fact that there was a “flaw” in her wings.
“Some flaws have another function than just being imperfections… in some cases they represent an opportunity for an advance of some sort, you are the second one whom I have seen to have this kind of flaw, the first one being Rya”, he added.
Sarina’s eyes sparkled, she has been feeling a breakthrough coming her way, but she didn’t expect it to come to her so fast, she thought that venturing with Aster in her incoming mission, will be the trigger for her advance, but apparently things had taken an interesting turn.
“As I promised, today I will spoil my Sarina to the content of my heart, and while I’ll keep the best part for later, how about a small breakthrough for the second part of our date”, playfully said Aster as he bit Sarina’s right earlobe, earning a few giggles from her.
“Mm, thanks husband~”, she cutely said with a blushed face.
Aster smiled in response, he wasn’t doing this only because he wanted to spoil Sarina, the fact that she suddenly manifested an “advance flaw” as Aster has named them, means that she was ready for her advance.
Unlike others, Aster has never had any bottlenecks blocking his way, which is why he has such a high realm in two paths, despite his age, in his case what gives him trouble is the fact that he only advances after reaching the maximum possible for his current realm.
Venturing accelerates the process, because he finds himself in the “need” of getting stronger, and his dragon lineage as well as the paragon body react to that.
But the girls aren’t the same, as the previous is caused by annihilation being Aster’s attribute, according to Rya.
‘I wonder if I got these eyes for this kind of situations’, he thought, as he placed his hand the spot right where Sarina’s wings connected with her upper back, to then gently massage it, earning some comfortable sounds from Sarina.
“I want you to focus on this specific spot, this right here is the meridian that connects your wings with the meridians you use for Antares’s mist flames, what has happened is that you unconsciously try to send spirit energy through it, which results in those sparks, you have to completely dominate it during the process, to not take spirit energy unless you wish it to”, he said.
Sarina nodded, cultivators couldn’t see meridians with spirit sense, even soul path ones can only point out some of them, and that is when the target isn’t resisting, but they can’t see them like Aster, but feel their overall location, which is why it’s not like others can help someone breakthrough with a 100% guarantee, but Aster can.
That’s why he said, he was going to gift Sarina a minor breakthrough as the second part of their date, the first one being the breakfast he prepared for her.
With Aster signaling where was the problem and helping her directly feel it, Sarina didn’t take long to concentrate, she closed her eyes and started using her elemental conversion to obtain spirit energy.
Aster who was standing right behind of Sarina, saw not only the spirit energy created thanks to the particles spread by her wings, but the one in the atmosphere, gathering around her and he smiled.
The next thing that happened is that the wind started blowing harder and harder in the nearby area, followed by clouds appearing once again, and all the previous without any sign of mist flames.
Sarina was suppressing the nature of the spirit energy in this part of Randar, turning a rocky desertic land into a stormy area.
She didn’t take long to be able to generate wind attribute spirit energy as that was her original attribute, but the lightning wasn’t budging, it was her newest acquired attribute and her experience using it was near to zero, so it was understandable.
Luckily, she had Aster, well, in this case whether it was “luck” or “misfortune” it would depend on how Sarina judged his next actions, Aster stomped with his right foot and electricity crackled on his legs.
“It’s not an attack type spirit technique, but I can still use the lightning I obtained thanks to the Lightning Step”, said Asher as he extended his remaining free index finger to poke Sarina’s back right in the middle where her spine is located.
“Hyaaa!”, Sarina let out a startled sound as she felt as if a bolt of electricity was running through her body.
That being said, she found her opportunity right there, the lightning attributed spirit energy automatically wanted to follow the electricity, which cleared Sarina’s mind image of the meridians she had to stimulate.
“Booom!”, a reverberating sound could be heard as a large lightning struck both Sarina and Aster where they were standing, it wasn’t tribulation but only something created thanks to Sarina’s spirit energy.
When the dust curtain that was raised due to the impact of the lightning, dispersed, the image of Aster and Sarina being covered in a dazzling golden light was revealed.
But there was a difference, Sarina’s wings were now surrounded by wind and lightning, they truly embodied what a “Storm Roc” would represent, there was no sign of flames too, which made Aster nod as he snapped his fingers, dispelling the golden armor. 𝑜𝒱𝓵xt.𝒞𝑜𝗆
There was another change as well, the sensation exuded by Sarina had changed, she was now a peak Mortal Transcending realm cultivator.
Sarina who was all smiles right now, gazed at Aster as she raised her hand and pointed at the sky, where an aggrupation of dark gray clouds was now covering the nearby area, meaning that she has completed the first goal of her training.
She snapped her fingers and the clouds dispersed, then her wings released wind and lightning spirit energy and those clouds formed once again, she had gained free basic control of those two attributes.
“As expected of my Sarina”, proudly said Aster as he hugged her from behind, wrapping his arms around her waist.
Sarina softly laughed, her wings were in ethereal form, which allowed Aster to bypass them and drag her into his embrace.
“You’ll be making a breakthrough during our mission as well, the goal will be for you to enter the Sea of Knowledge realm”, whispered Aster at her before saying.
“But enough of that, all this has made me hungry, so how about we stroll around to find a nice restaurant in this planet”.
Sarina nodded and then a current of wind formed around the two of them, raising them and then taking them up onto the sky.
Unknown to them but expected by Aster, the previous drew the attention of other people that was in the nearby areas of Randar, this is a planet under the management of the Battle Peak after all, so there are disciples from the sect, training or doing missions in this planet on a daily basis
Unfortunately for them who thought that maybe a natural treasure has formed, they were going to return empty handed, there was indeed a treasure appearing in Randar, but it already belonged to Aster, as they cuddling together inside that current of wind, suggested.
