Shortly after collecting all the primordial flame stone and completely stuffing the inventory, Alm and Bruno gathered everyone from the group who were there. Thea was released to explore the world, full of deadly and powerful plants, full of Qi and perfect natural energy for her to feed on; she would enjoy the rest of the days like this.

Meanwhile, Ruri, Corin, Rehvka, Calirer, and Kaiyka were gathered and isolated individually. Using the laws of the earth, they were sealed in closed areas.
The whale had already reconstructed himself using the primordial power the behemoth gave him, and within all the stones was a remnant of that primordial power. For the others, that was a treasure they couldn’t find anywhere else. However, even adding up everything inside the collected stones, it was still a much smaller amount than what the behemoth gave him at that time.
His body was already pure to an unbelievable extent for a mortal, and adding this amount didn’t make much of a difference to him. They decided to share everything with the group and help them incorporate it into their bodies. The main beneficiary would be Rehvka, whose body was reaching a limit due to lack of life energy; she needed to cultivate quickly, and this would almost completely solve her problem.
"Unfortunately, you’ve already undergone all the reconstructions, and the benefits have been reduced. So, I’ll use a slightly brute and painful method, but the benefits will be almost magical... if you can endure it, of course."
The whale spoke slowly, and almost everyone broke out in a cold sweat. When he said it would be painful, they could bet it would be a thousand times worse than they could even imagine. Almost everyone, after all, Rehvka had a radiant, euphoric smile plastered on her face.
Everyone was inside closed areas where no one could see each other. This wasn’t really necessary, and everyone was confused about the reason. But as soon as the primordial power invaded the place and touched them, everyone understood, feeling their bodies immediately cracking.
Inside the location, Ruri acted quickly and their clothes were stored away. In the next second, everyone’s clothes exploded, along with their skins, and blood covered the entire sealed space of each one.
Alm and Bruno spent two days slowly working on everyone at the same time. They felt like they were being pierced by millions of needles, while sinking into a sea of lava, while their organs were furiously churned; they were almost all in despair... almost all, except for the cheerful groans of Rehvka, which stood out strangely.
They had no time to lose and, as there were many women in the group, they covered everyone’s sight, including the whale’s, to avoid problems. Obviously, they were using their senses to do the work, which was the same as seeing everything... but no one needed to know that, and they weren’t old enough to care.
All the primordial power was used on them. Since it wasn’t that much, they merged the power using the principles of physical cultivation. The skin, organs, bones, and meridians of everyone were fused with the primordial power, multiplying their resistance tens of times. What would have been fatal wounds before would now be only slightly serious injuries; if it didn’t kill them immediately, the primordial power would heal them from anything over time.
The whale finished everything and silently waited for the women to wake up and realize their situation there. Once they dressed, he released everyone, and they quickly found themselves stunned. Their skins shimmered brilliantly, as if they had been rebuilt again.
Rehvka didn’t care and looked at the whale as if begging for more. He just ignored her and spoke before she could open her mouth.
"Go explore this area and gather things for Thea to eat. We’re leaving in two days," they waved and left excitedly, except for someone who huffed in disappointment as they moved.
After everything, Alm and Bruno used all the laws and Qi inside the stones. It wasn’t much in each, but it was much more than the remnant of primordial power. And since it was a quantity as large as a colossal mountain, they received a gift to cultivate.
Crack.
They didn’t even use 10%, and they already broke through to the first level of the Body Destruction Realm. They secluded themselves and began to rebuild rapidly. They spent 15 years nourished by the behemoth’s marrow. They gained a lot of new bloodline blood and learned the changes they needed to make.
Their bodies didn’t need enhancement using energies, just adaptations and changes to improve compatibility. In the future, they would practically be a beast with a subtle human bloodline; they needed to prepare their bodies for that.
The last two days passed quietly. When there was an hour left until the end of the test, the whale finished consuming everything and completed his last reconstruction.
’We’ve reached the fifth level of the Body Destruction Realm so quickly... and this world is just a small thing that the Yinblood sect shares with other sects,’ Bruno said lightly.
Alm added, ’There must be much better things in other places. It seems like we won’t have trouble cultivating ourselves if we steal everything from the worlds. We just have to figure out a way to visit those places with everyone, following the sect’s rules. That way, we’ll leave quietly without raising suspicions.’
Bruno agreed. Their main concern was to be discreet and not attract too much attention. The divine world was the enemy’s lair, and every step should be taken carefully. However, they desperately needed time and resources to cultivate.
The Yinblood sect didn’t have Empyreans or heroes; their power depended on the Chaos Dragon bloodline they obtained on the planet. It was the perfect place for the whale to rise without many enemies around and with the backing of being strong due to the type of sect they were in.
As for the reason for bringing many people with them, it was to help cover them. Everyone would rise together and show a part of each one’s power, making the group stand out instead of a single person. It would be easy to act together with everyone, and outsiders would see a powerful group without suspecting that a Heaven-Defier was among them.
The time for the test finally ended. The sect rune inside everyone began to vibrate, and the space around them distorted. In a few seconds, they found themselves again on the sect’s support planet, exactly in the same place they had left.
As they looked around, they realized the harsh reality: among the millions of non-Feys who tried to enter the sect, only about 10% had returned alive. Even those who survived were mostly extremely injured and with a grim look. They hadn’t obtained what was necessary to pass.
"I’m glad you all survived," the honest voice of the blue Fey sounded from the skies to everyone below. "Those who obtained what was necessary, follow me to the main planet. We’ll register you as official disciples."
Quirio and Zaimo clenched their fists, excited. Both were in torn clothes and looked quite tired, definitely exerting themselves to get the stones. Zaimo, theoretically, would have an easy life mining, being a dwarf and able to easily sense ores. However, exactly because of that, everyone who saw a dwarf pursued him to rob him. In the end, he had to fight many cultivators. Quirio faced more the plants and dangers of the place to find the ores.
A minimal group of people followed the Fey along with several others toward the Gloom planet. There were fewer than 100 foreign cultivators of various races. They all moved silently until entering the atmosphere of that exotic planet. Immediately after breathing, they felt their bodies and auras contaminated by a dense and oppressive Yin.
That place seemed like an underworld planet, but unlike that place without Yang, there was a minimal amount of Yang in the environment.
Unfortunately, the consequences of living and cultivating in this almost completely Yin world were clear. Of all the Feys who came to organize the test on that other planet, there wasn’t a single male figure. Probably, for every 100 powerful cultivators on that planet, one or two men existed. It wasn’t the underworld where all races were ’adapted’ to it; without Yang, it was difficult for men to properly elevate themselves.
The group was guided to a central region of the planet. As they descended from the skies, they saw that the center of the planet, in the middle of the black forest, had a clear difference compared to the rest. It was an area equivalent to a third of the planet, surrounded by a subtle, powerful aura. All that area was the sect’s domains.
’Master! Runula and Deryu are saying they felt infinite auras with dragon bloodline nearby,’ Ruri said excitedly through the array.
Bruno nodded. The presence of the Chaos Dragon in the region must have attracted countless races with dragon bloodline. It didn’t take long for them to see, in the distance, a winged figure flying on the horizon; it was a wyvern, a pure wyvern from the divine world. This planet promised a lot for everyone.
As they approached the ground, they saw millions of Feys around, of various types and sizes. They were the natives who took the test for the sect. Among those of other races, fewer than 100 passed. But among those who took the test coming from the main planet, the success rate was overwhelming.
Everyone was divided into large groups, with two of them extremely larger than the others. As soon as everyone stepped on the ground:
"Sir!"
Three voices sounded at the same time in different directions. Immediately, three Feys ran in the direction of the newcomers. Everyone was surprised; among them were two Fey girls, and they weren’t just any. The two leaders of the current generation of the two most powerful clans on the planet moved ecstatically... then suddenly jumped, and each one grabbed one of the whale’s arms, excited. They both spoke at the same time:
"We finally meet, now we can get to know each other better. Don’t let that bitch deceive you," the small Ambry spoke with a smile.
"I’m looking forward to talking to you alone, without this noisy child interrupting," the slim and slender figure of Kisala spoke with serious eyes.
Immediately, all the millions of Feys, the elders who were doing the registrations, everyone stopped what they were doing and turned around, widening their eyes in the direction of the whale.
Bruno sighed mentally. ’Shit... the plan was to be discreet and not attract attention...’
