The rise of the pervert primordial

Looking at the rough rectangular shaped stone tablet, the representative from the Mountain Amber family snorted at Aster, he snapped his finger and a perfect flat stone tablet manifested in front of him, his triumphant smile however, lasted only for a fraction of a second, as the flaming board appeared on the sky right away.

[Violation of rules detected, no energy usage is allowed except for the signaled resting periods, a warning will be administrated to the perpetrator]

The smile on the face of the elder from the Mountain Amber family, died on the spot, his face then paled before blood came down from his eyes.

“Aghhh!”, the elder grabbed his head which felt as if it was going split apart from the inside, he screamed for a moment before his eyes rolled back as he fainted on the spot.

“Arrogant idiots are really easy to manipulate, you just need to purposedly do a half-baked job when it comes to something they excel in and they will nine out of ten times try to “show you how it is done”, it’s a perfect way to test the waters when you lack information”, said Aster to the girls from the sect to then casually flick the rough stone tablet he had created earlier.

“Crack!”, with a loud shattering sound, the large tablet which could have accommodated around a hundred people, broke in five parts, but that’s not what drew the attention of the guys from Wade’s side, but the fact that the previously rough locking stone tablet now had a decently flat surface.

In other words, Aster had purposedly made the stone tablet look rough, so that someone from the enemy’s side would replicate it but by using spirit energy, to see if there was any penalty in doing so.

While the young girls from the sect giggled and the seniors nodded, as that was a great advice from Aster, the people from the Ocean Aquamarine and Mountain Amber families saw red.

“How dare you use elder Patrick like that!”, exclaimed Bradley, apparently, he had somehow recovered his confidence, after Aster cut of his arm, as he was completely healed now, or at least that’s what he believed, until Aster gazed in his direction,

“Look who has gotten all brave and feisty after getting to have two arms attached to his body again”, jokingly said Aster which made Bradley instinctively jump backwards, a great humiliation which showed that he was still afraid of the black-haired youth.

“You can’t do anything to us anyway!”, said Wade’s younger brother, Albert as if to support his friend, which made Aster smirk.

“I can’t do anything to you guys, yet, but we’ll be out of the road in 12 hours and, well, let’s just say that the people on your side aren’t exactly in the best condition, who knows maybe some among you will hand your asses over to us if I promise not to kill them in exchange”, Aster’s voice was rather playful, but his words weren’t funny for Wade in the slightest.

With how things were as of current, he had lost control over the forces and families that weren’t directly tied to them, which was basically everyone outside of the big three, his side was in fire already and Aster just threw not fuel, but damn dynamite into it.

All this because his stupid brother couldn’t control himself and engaged with the provocations from the Lord of the Twin Sword Valley, and the worst part of it, is that since anything but physical strength seemed to be against the rules, he couldn’t communicate in secret with his brother, so he had no option but to step in directly.

“I’ll remember those words, Lord of the Twin Sword Valley, now go your way, we’ll move when we feel like it”, he said trying to salvage the situation, of course Aster would have normally kicked Wade now that he was down, but in all honesty, he had more important things to do as of current.

Also, he legitimately didn’t know if fighting will be allowed once they reached the end of the road, it was just provocation, that being said the smile he had on his face was enough to make Wade feel miserable.

But enough of that, the timer above the heads of the non-participants had started to show signs of advancing, so Aster focused on his side, he looked at Valentina who nodded at him, meaning that she was giving him the authority to decide what will their side do during the body trial.

Normally it should be Mikaela who is also a Core Elder and has maintained the capacity to move, the one who would take the lead instead of Valentina, but after everything that has happened, both of them who are the ones in charge, trusted Aster to guide the girls from the sect in their representation.

“All those at the Stellar Axys and below who can move and weren’t wounded during the previous trial, look for someone on a similar realm, to help them move, the closer in cultivation you are to them, the better, just locate them and wait for my instructions”, said Aster.

The girls from the sect nodded to then put hands to work, the girls with the higher realms within the range mentioned by Aster, directly went for their fellow disciples who also had the highest realms, none tried to go for someone with a lower realm, and soon they were all set.

Now imagine their surprise when they turned to see Aster hoping to listen to his next instruction, only to see him… taking his shirt off?

Those curious girls’s faces reddened on the spot, as they got to see Aster’s perfectly chiseled upper body, some of the youngest ones covered their eyes with their hands but left big gaps between their fingers to spy on their admired senior brother’s muscles.

But it was what happened next, what actually made their little maiden’s hearts skip a beat, they saw Aster placing his shirt and coat on the surface of one of the stone tablets and then they realized that since using spirit energy was not allowed, they couldn’t take out anything from their spatial rings.

Otherwise, Aster would have for sure taken out some blankets, pillows or even mattresses as it was obvious that he planned to use the stone tablets as a mean of transportation, so he used his own clothes to make it a bit more comfortable.

And now came the first trouble, upon realizing Aster’s plan, a certain dragon princess suddenly fell on her back next to Aria.

“The pressure is too much, I can’t resist anymore~”, said Alice with the most feigned distressed voice ever, her intention was clear she wanted to be the first one to be carried by Aster, despite she being a body cultivator and a monstrous one on top of it.

“Can’t you have a little shame for once”, exclaimed the ice princess who was sitting next to Alice, that being said there was a cunning blue light shining in Aria’s pretty eyes as she gave Aster a “frail” gaze, as if to ask him to carry her first.

The previous made quite a few girls from the sect, also turn to see Aster, they didn’t hope to be the first one to be carried by him, but just be carried by him was within their possibilities.

Feeling the countless gazes piercing him like arrows, Aster chuckled, this would have been quite a tricky situation, had him not have a “trump card” up his sleeve.

Under many expecting pairs of eyes, Aster casually walked towards a certain little girl to then place one arm below her knees and one on her back.

‘That’s not fair!’, thought a lot of girls, Aria included in unison as they saw Aster carry Kana towards the stone plate, they couldn’t find the strength to say anything against the little girl being the first one to be carried by Aster.

She is the youngest among them and she is also not a body path cultivator, so by all means it was only right for her to be the top priority, well there was one exception, which was Alice, who pouted as she saw Kana giggle while cutely swinging her feet as Aster carried her.

“Thanks, big brother~”, she said as Aster placed her on top of the stone plate, which resulted in Kana receiving a few head pats from Aster, as always Kana’s bright smile brought a warm sensation to the hearts of those that got along with her.

But the harmonious mood on the side of the Myriad Occupation sect, only darkened the atmosphere on Wade’s side.

“Humph, what’s so great about helping someone that many realms below you, move”, said a male elder from the Pleasure Palace as he walked towards a female elder from the same sect.

According to the deal they made, the female elders from the Pleasure Palace participated in the energy trial while the male ones were to participate in the body one, so most of the male elders were in a good condition, while the female ones were not only tired and paralyzed but some had lost mobility on an arm or a leg due to the energy trial.

The male elder approached the female elder with whom he is the most acquainted with, and placed his arms below her, which made the female elder see him in a good light.

‘What a good chance, I get to participate in the trial and this will for sure set the mood to dual culti…’, the male elder who could already see himself getting some action at night, suddenly felt as if a hammer had descended from above, the moment he tried to take a step, his knees gave out and he fell frontwards.

“Agh, what are you doing you useless fool”, naturally the female elder reached the ground first, normally a fall from such a low height wouldn’t hurt a cultivator like her, but the pressure that the atmosphere applied over her, combined with the fact that her arm was still wounded, resulted in a lot of pain as well as she cursing the guy who tried to carry her.

[When helping a non-participant, the pressure applied to the participant in question will be increased based on the latter’s average total realm starting from the Earthly realms, plus one major realm, regardless of the realm of the non-participant]

The male elder who was now covered in dirt couldn’t help but grit his teeth, if the announcement was made a second earlier, he wouldn’t have lost face like this, what’s more based on the death glare he was receiving from the female elder, he could forget about any ideas of getting to dual cultivate for a long time.

That also explained why Aster had no trouble by dealing with carrying two times the pressure applied to him, but that elder couldn’t even take a single step, it’s normal, Aster is a peak Star Constellation which is the third realm, and an early-stage Star Axys which is the fourth of the Earthly realms, that would be a total of seven, divided into two, you get a 3.5, which would around the middle stage of the Star Constellation, plus one major realm would be the middle stage of the Star Axys.

Thus, the pressure that was added to Aster’s body when he carried Kana, was not even at the Star Tribulation realm.

And Aster’s physical strength, surpasses the Earthly realms, in comparison, that elder is a peak Sea of Knowledge realm, which is a seven as in there are seven major realms starting from the Earthly realms to the Sea of Knowledge, and Star Formation realm body path, which is a two, so the pressure added to him was 4.5, plus one for a total of 5.5, and that’s half step into the Mortal Transcending realm.

The problem is that his physical strength is not even close to the peak of the Earthly realms, so he naturally couldn’t endure the added pressure and collapsed before taking so much as a single step.

The worst part is that he couldn’t even complain, because the rules were fair, he as Sea of Knowledge realm in his main path, would normally be around the Star Axys realm in terms of strength, when coupled with his Star Formation secondary body path cultivation, which would have allowed him to move even if slowly, instead of directly collapsing.

Unfortunately, as a dual cultivator, he focused his body path cultivation in increasing his yang energy, and endurance at most, not strength which is why he ended up disgracing himself like this.

‘Imagine if they knew big brother was actually carrying not only me a moment ago~’, thought Kana to which a certain little wyrm who was coiled around Aster’s ankle, hidden below his sock, happily hissed as if knowing what was Kana thinking.

‘Hisssss~’, of course the little wyrm was happy, because Aster allowed her to stay outside of the beast’s space, in part because he didn’t know if sending Espi back into it, will trigger the punishment of this trial.

He could still use the connection between himself and the star maidens, to communicate with them directly to their minds, but his capacity as a spirit tamer is not related to the powers of the stars, so who knows if this place will react to it, his dragon eyes were limited earlier as well.

Also, the little wyrm wanted to stay outside and he couldn’t find it in his heart to say no to her, leaving that aside, Aster completely ignored what happened at the other side, and directly went to carry the ice princess who proudly smiled at Alice, only for Aria’s smile to freeze when Aster placed her on his right arm to then wrap his arm around Alice’s waist to lift her up as well.

“You should see your face, ice princess~”, mockingly said Alice, which made Aria give Aster an accusatory gaze, as if she was saying “She can move by herself”, to which Aster inwardly sighed.

‘Punishment, for the two of them’, he thought to then say to the other guys on his side.

“What are you waiting for, don’t tell me you want those girls to sit down directly on top of a rock surface for twelve hours”, seeing Aster placing Alice and Aria two on top of his shirt and jacket which were laid on top of the stone plate, Erick thunderously laughed as he took off his shirt and vest which was made out of a spirit beast’s hide.

“Finally, something in which I surpass you brother, hahaha!”, he said, naturally he was referring to the extension that his clothes covered, Erick is taller than Aster and he has a bulky constitution, hence his shirt is of course bigger than Aster’s, so there is more space for others to sit on top of them.

Cayden also did the same, while nodding at his subordinates, which were basically the only other guys in the whole side from the Myriad Occupation sect, once they had all followed up, there were now enough softer places for the girls to sit on top of the stone plates.

That being said, a new problem arose, those curious girls all wanted Aster to carry them, based on the puppy eyes they were giving to him, and we are talking about senior disciples here, because the only ones which weren’t being helped by others, were those at the Star tribulation and above, for a good reason.

Aster was planning to have the participants at the Star Tribulation, which were fewer in number, carry a stone plate as a team, instead of helping a single girl each like the younger disciples, they shouldn’t have any problem since Iris, Nerissa and the three sisters will be leading them, Alice will also be included into the workforce after she has had her fun, a notice she didn’t seem to like but she was willing to follow Aster’s instructions, if that led to her being spoiled by him later.

“Ahem, don’t look at me like that, the space on each stone tablet is limited, also this will be the reward for the first ten who fulfilled two conditions in the previous trial, and another exception”, said Aster as he finished carrying the girls from his family, there were originally nine that either couldn’t walk by themselves or directly couldn’t even remain standing.

Namely, Aria, Sarina, Kana, Camila, Eris, Vivian, Nerissa, Dahlia and Angela, but the number went up to ten due to Alice, each stone plate was spacious enough for around twenty people to comfortably sit without being too cramped, luckily the little girl didn’t occupy much space, so there was room for one more, besides the ten girls who earned the reward mentioned by Aster.

“Huh, w-wait why me?”, asked the girl towards whom Aster walked to, said girl had blond hair and pretty purple-colored eyes, it was the lightning princess Valentina.

“Well, miss Mikaela has taken the role to watch over the rear, while Agnes is leading the other elders, so miss Valentina will have to be at the vanguard with me, said Aster which made Valentina turn her head backwards just to see Mikaela smirking at her.

‘You drunkard, is this your revenge for giving you the elixir!’, inwardly cursed the lightning princess in her heart, to then say.

“I’m fine with it, but can’t Agnes carry me instea… ah!”, Valentina’s sentence was interrupted by Aster placing his arms around her, to carry her like a princess, while whispering at her.

“We had to distract those girls from the remaining effect of their wounds, so bear with me this one time, please”, said Aster, which made Valentina’s purple eyes glow for a second.

She could hear the genuine worry in Aster’s voice a second ago, which made her wonder why was he going to such lengths, a doubt which was solved a moment later by Aster himself.

“It was my mistake, even if it couldn’t be healed, I could have lessened the pain, have I had given them pills that could be used for emergencies beforehand”.

Due to the restrictions of the trial, no one could use their spatial rings by the time the treatment was given to the girls from the sect, Aster didn’t take into account the fact that while their wounds would be healed, they would still be in pain.

Otherwise, even if pills which contained his blood couldn’t heal them due to the restrictions, he was sure they wouldn’t be in pain anymore, because that’s how strong the vitality in his blood is, alternatively his yang energy would also be able to soothe their pain, but both were “sealed” due to the trial.

Truth to be told, Aster could use the mind space even with the restrictions in place, since nothing seemed to be able to restrict Hyperion, in fact Aster could use annihilation which is a type of energy as well, so if he wanted to, he could have taken out a bottle of pills and feign to have had them hidden in his pocket, but that would make this trial pointless.

This was a lesson for Aster, and he took it seriously, the girls from his family all had their rings, and there was an emergency pill as well as safety mechanism into them, hence even if they couldn’t look into the rings, they could still heal and protect themselves in a critical moment, but Aster didn’t prepare something like that for the girls of the sect.

It was his mistake since for him, the rings have a symbolic meaning, but he is also the one designated to lead the group from the Myriad Occupation sect, which means it is his duty to look for them and as such he should have had prepared something like that for the others.

It didn’t even have to be a ring, he could have attached an emergency pill to their badges for example, but it skipped his mind, he couldn’t really be blamed, this is the first time he is leading a large group which doesn’t consist of mostly his family after all.

‘I guess not even him is perfect, but this is even better, anyone with the abilities he has shown so far would have become complacent, but he is willing to admit his mistakes and learn from them instead’.

‘Also, to go as far as to put on this little show, in order to help those little girls, I guess I should have expected at least this much from someone who has captivated the attention of the most talented ever princess of the Sun Diamond family…’, thought Valentina.

The lightning princess has a responsible personality, so this side of Aster was as appealing for her, as his physical strength is for Agnes, resulting in her impression of Aster going up a notch, he already had her attention, but now Aster has earned her respect.

And so, while feeling as if her face burned due to embarrassment, the lightning princess allowed Aster to carry her like a princess all the way to the stone tablet, which made those girls let their imaginations run wild.

Let’s not forget that Valentina is like an idol for the girls of the sect, so it certainly caught their attention to see her interacting in such a way with Aster, and that was complemented by Aster following with the ten girls that first fulfilled two conditions earlier, among which the girl from the top ten who belonged to the Purple Lotus, as well as the two new girls who had reached the same level as Iris and Nerissa, before meeting Aster, were.

A high realm wasn’t the sole reason behind getting two conditions fulfilled, before others, sensibility towards spirit energy was the key point back then, thus actually among the ten girls who Aster just personally carried and placed on his stone tablet, there were girls who weren’t even at the Star Tribulation realm, they weren’t senior disciples, but from the previous batch of juniors.

“Time to go, everyone go to your respective group, you are free to rotate however you see fit”, said Aster as he held onto the stone tablet, the muscles on his back tensed a bit as he actually lifted up the whole thing with a single arm.

“And if you need a rest, just say the word”, he added as he started walking without any care in the world.

‘Just how many elixirs and pills did the Talis fed to that bastard to make him so physically strong, while not being a damn body cultivator!’, cursed Wade as he saw Aster walking into the distance.
