Chapter 563 Paradise Constellation Array
Leaving aside the little "sneak peek" that Aser accidentally took of Eris, the next amazing thing that Aster witnessed, was the resonance between those two's yin and the formation that was about to be finished.
Just like any man, regardless of having a yang type constitution, can cultivate is yang as a subdivision of the energy path, apart from their respective attribute, women can do the same with yin.
In fact, the stronger they get, the stronger their yin gets as well, and so the moment Mylene retrieved her aura, the yin cores started releasing yin energy which gathered around those two.
It was quite an awe-inspiring portrait, two beauties surrounded by those dark blue sparks, it made them look like fairies, which made sense, considering with their original cultivation they would have been taken as goddesses by the natives of a Mortal plane.
Naturally, they noticed Aster's gaze on them, which made them blush, unlike what one would expect, his eyes didn't wander at their privates, despite him being openly a pervert who embraces many girls at the same time on a daily basis.
No, what Aster's eyes were attracted to, was the pretty smiles and enthusiastic expressions they put when they saw that the formation was a success.
"How cute", said Aster, making sure those two heard him, of course he could figuratively see the steam coming out of their blushed faces as they heard that, but he decided to stop here today, after all he can't just jump from friendly jokes to compliment them too much, especially because he is aware that they themselves aren't sure of how they feel regarding him.
That being said, a bit of tease here and there won't do any harm, at the very least those two didn't seem to mind, as their reddened and slightly startled faces, suggested.
"Ahem, can you take out the yin chain link?", asked Eris, to which Aster nodded and with a wave of his hand, the largest chain link appeared in front of him, due to the yin energy that was stimulated in the area, the chain link exuded a cold and corrosive sensation, but Aster casually grabbed it with his bare hand and then handed it to Mylene, who did the same.
"Other guys would avoid directly touching that thing, horrified of the fact that they might end up uncapable of having offspring, you know", jokingly said Mylene as she grabbed the yin chain link to then cover it with her aura.
Aster chuckled as he dusted off the remaining yin on his hands, certainly if a man was exposed to negative yin, problems like poisoning and certain kinds of "dysfunction" would be expected, but he who practically swims in the yin of his girls doesn't need to worry about the yin chain link, the yin energy that tried to invade his body was expulsed by his insanely strong yang.
The process of engraving was much faster than with the yang chain link, so those two had it easier this time, in comparison to the previous engraving, both Eris and Mylene consumed less than half the soul energy and aura, than before.
And so, a couple of minutes later, a yang chain link which wasn't radiating any ominous, but a fresh sensation, was floating in front of them, with the last finishing touch, Eris guided the yin chain link to the be floating in the middle of the circle formed by the yin cores.
Since the ground here was uneven due to the mountain area, Eris attached the cores to a set of peaks that formed a range, those will be the areas where most of the enhancing effects of the formation would gather, which coincidentally were positioned on top of some caves on the mountains, that Eris found perfect for the future part of the remodeling project of the valley.
That being said, there was still one last step before calling Lilia to do her part, and for this, Aster had to play a role.
"I'll give you the signal just as we discussed", said Eris to which Aster nodded as he and Mylene left flying towards the river area, where the yang formation was.
A couple of minutes later, they had arrived at their destination where there was now a "public" in the form of Kana who was enjoying the nice fresh summery environment, created by the yang formation.
Naturally the little girl smiled at them, but didn't want to interrupt, since she knew it was Eris and Mylene's day, but Mylene didn't have such reservations, she beckoned at Kana who giggled and flew towards them in the form of an invisible breeze of wind, to then appear and hug Mylene.
"Big sister!", enthusiastically said the little girl and as if it could detect her best friend's presence, the little wyrm which was wrapped around Aster's neck, woke up and happily hissed.
"Hisss~", Aster extended his arm and the little wyrm moved from his neck to his hand, before jumping to rest on top of Kana's head.
Without having the need to directly telling Espi anything, the little wyrm understood Aster's intentions, and went with Kana, since Aster had something to do, it was one of the effects caused by the little wyrm spending more time with Aster after its evolution, their contract pulled them closer.
Mylene patted Kana's head and then took some distance from Aster whose body started radiating a bright yellow light.
While Mylene wasn't as sensible towards Aster's yang energy, the little girl and the little wyrm had comfortable expressions on their faces, as the glow of Aster's yang radiance, bathed them.
"Big brother looks like the sun~", cutely said Kana to which the little wyrm nodded its head, making Mylene softly laugh as the yellow shine caused by Aster's yang radiance reflected on her eyes.
"Now", Eris's voice sounded on Aster's ears, and that was the signal they previously agreed.
Aster suddenly increased the output of his yang radiance, which made the yang chain link shine as it resonated with him, the whole area was then bathed in a dim yellow light.
In response, from afar, the mountain area was lit up in a pretty light blue color, the formation used by the Yin Azure Palace consisted on two formations working together, the chains were the connection needed for them to interact with each other, and keep the balance between the two of them, which is why the Silicon Valley, ended up in such a chaotic state after the chains were practically destroyed.
That being said, Eris currently lacked the power to create similar chains, in a short period of time, but instead she devised a way to not only don't need a physical connection, but make it so, she the upgrade to the array in the future would be easier, increasing the scalability of the result.
The runes on the yang chain link lit up, and then thin threads of yang energy came out of the chain link and dived into the ground, the energy gathering formation which Eris created earlier to show Aster, what her soul avatar could do, lit up, but instead of the bright yellow light akin to yang energy, the runes shone in a pretty light blue color.
For this formation to work, there was a need for yin and yang energies to circulate, back the Silicon Forest, the yang tormented Myra while the yin nurtured her just a bit more than the torture, the idea was that she didn't lose her powers, and was slowly forced to accept making a contract with the guy from the Yin Azure Palace.
Naturally, the fierce ligress girl instead imprisoned her real body at the cost of the major part of her cultivation, to resist the process, as she looked for a way to escape, or until she decided to end her own life, since she wasn't willing to be used like that.
But the concept of the formation that Aster asked Eris to implement, wasn't like that, the show of lights, caused by the mix of yellow and blue lights, in the two main nodes of the formation, amazed Kana and the others, but this wasn't the end yet.
Once the two nodes were actively exchanging yin and yang energy through the ground, Mylene raised her hands and her aura radiated from her body, not even a few seconds later the whole area was covered on it, isolating the formation from any interference.
Aster who had stopped using yang radiance, saw Eris arriving with a slightly tired expression and he nodded.
"Your turn, mom!", hearing the words she has waiting for hours, since she was in the mind space, Lilia loudly laughed and a portal opened above the area all the way from the river to the mountain range.
This formation was supposed to be self-sufficient, thanks to the exchange of yin and yang energies as well as the absorption of spirit energy from the atmosphere, but to start it as a whole, a huge amount of yin and yang energy was needed.
And when Eris said a huge amount she meant it, if they wouldn't have obtained the yin and yang stars, they would have had to use all the yin and yang accumulation crystals they obtained on the whole deepest part of the underground area.
But since they had the starts, they just needed to draw energy from exploration of the Silicon Forest, and that is a lot to say considering all those tall walls that formed the yang maze around Myra, at the deepest part of the underground area.
But since they had the starts, they just needed to draw energy from them once, still it was easier to say it than doing it, for starters the process required them to be able to connect the yin and yang chain links to the stars which were now residing inside the mind space.
And it would take a total of five minutes, in which the portal had to be perfectly stable, and the formation had to absorb all that energy in a single go without any interference, meaning that without Lilia and Rya maintaining the portal, and Eris's isolating the whole area, this would have been impossible.
The previous was the result was the result of not having a physical connection between the yin and yang main nodes, but it was a requirement that was only needed to be fulfilled once, after the initial connection, the formation will regulate itself.
"Darling is going to spoil me a lot during our date~", Lilia's voice could be heard coming from the portal that connected the mind space to the valley, as vast amounts of yin and yang energies were poured out, just to be encapsulated by Mylene's aura.
Aster and Eris had nothing else to do, the rest completely depended on Mylene and Lilia, and while Lilia wasn't thinking on anything else, but all the pampers that her beloved son was going to give her, Mylene was burning through her reserves of aura at an alarming ratio.
The pink haired girl couldn't even move to take a potion, because a single second of carelessness might cause a leak in the isolation field, she had to keep powering, luckily for her Aster was here to help.
"Here, let me give it to you", said Aster as he took out a small crystal bottle from his spatial ring, it was a vitality stimulating elixir, created by Mylene, using Aster's blood as the main ingredient.
"Mm", Mylene simply let out a small sound of affirmation, and slightly opened her mouth, allowing Aster to personally help her drink from the bottle.
Mylene's aura which had started to thin earlier, suddenly received a boost and the walls of the isolation field, solidified once again, the previous lasted for a whole three minutes, before Aster gave her a second doze of the elixir, that was the limit her body could take in such a short period of time, without having any side effects.
Too much of anything is bad after all, so even if Aster's blood by itself had no negative effects, there was a need for the girls that drank or bathed in it, to process it, even Lilia whose body was monstrous couldn't just directly use all the vitality she received from Aster, through various… methods, and had to spend three years to reach her current level.
Still, Aster didn't doubt for a single second that Mylene could do it and as the seconds passed, the isolation field thinned once again, but the pink haired girl gritted her teeth and held, until she heard Eris saying.
"It's done!", the portal was immediately shut by Lilia, and Mylene dispelled the base of the field, guiding all the energy encapsulated to flow into the formation.
"Huff…", Mylene gasped for air, at this point she was exhausted, but she still had to endure it until all the energy was absorbed by the chain links, that had started rotating.
The moment every wisp of energy was absorbed by the chain links, Mylene's eyes closed, but before her body fell from the sky, Aster gently supported her.
"Good work", he mumbled as he observed the formation finally going online, the result was that the chain links were no longer visible, with all the energy that they had absorbed and the high speed at which they were rotating, what replaced them were two small artificial stars, one yellow and one light blue colored.
Aster and the others descended from the sky, landing on the soft grass, Mylene who had fallen asleep, and was now resting her head against Aster's shoulder, was smiling in her sleep, as if she knew that it was a success.
"Ah, damn, it was harder than what it was supposed to be but, everything is working as it should, so how are you going to name it?", Eris stretched her body as a wave or tiredness assaulted her.
She consumed a lot of soul energy, add to that the stress and pressure of analyzing if each rune was working as intended, she was mentally exhausted, the only reason as to why she didn't fall asleep like Mylene, is that she had drank an elixir to remain awake, even when her soul energy reserves were almost gone, the difference is that she couldn't do anything, but supervising the process at that point, unlike Mylene who gave everything she had, they had different roles after all.
Aster saw the two artificial starts, illuminating the sky which had started to darken since night was coming to the Battle Planet, and then remembered what he had in mind, when he came to Eris with such a big project, which would start with this formation.
"Paradise Constellation Array, that will be its name", said Aster, a group of formations was called an array, as for the other parts of the name, the purpose of this array was to provide his family a literal paradise not only for cultivation, but for their daily activities, the constellation part explained itself, it's because the main nodes looked like stars, though they were artificially created.
"Mm, good name", Eris nodded in response, her eyes closed as she also fell asleep, her body leaned sidewards, until her face was resting against Aster's shoulder.
Aster smiled, he gave those two a tender gaze as he got up, lifting them using his soul energy to carry them, one on each of his arms.
"Let's go back to the mansion, they deserve a nice rest", said Aster to Kana and the little wyrm, who stayed to observe the whole thing.
"Mm", Kana whose face was a bit red after seeing Eris and Mylene act so close with her big brother, nodded while the little wyrm let out some hisses.
Aster used his authority and they then disappeared, the scenery changed from the forest of the valley to the inside of the mansion, the other girls who observed the previous process through their spirit senses, saw Aster appearing with those two on his arms, and they softly laughed.
Some seemed to be eager for their own dates, while others were curious and lastly there was the grumpy ligress girl who was doing her best to not look interested, in what she saw earlier.
Nim clearly wanted to ask a lot of questions, but since Lilia was present in the room, the tree respectfully waited until the "partner of the alpha" had finished her discussing her matters, with Aster, only then it was supposedly allowed to approach Aster.
Seeing his mother's "spoil me" eyes, Aster chuckled and then brought those two to Eris's room, where he gently let them down on the bed, to then return to the living room where all the others were.
"So, have you decided who is going next?", he asked at the girls, there were different reactions to that, the most obvious were Aria pouted, Tiana and Nerissa's eyes shone with rivalry, while Alice had an unconvinced expression on her pretty face as she softly snorted, in comparison there was almost unnoticeable but still eye-catching smile at the corner of Vivian's mouth.
The usually expressionless pale white haired girl, was the winner of today's sorting, meaning she will be the next one to have her date with Aster, which is good, since it's obvious she has improved during the time Aster was gone.
Even without looking at her meridians, her pale skin had a much livelier tone, which diminished her "sickly" appearance and instead replaced it with a though still fragile, healthier sensation.
"Perfect, think what you want to do, I have something in mind as well, we can decide tomorrow", he said.
"Mm, thanks Aster", said Vivian.
After that, since Eris and Mylene weren't going to wake up in a short period of time, they had a nice dinner together, and Sarina left a couple of dishes inside a ring, which she placed on the table with a note, they were prepared in case those two woke up in the middle of the night and were hungry, as always, the blond motherly woman was the most thoughtful among the girls.
In comparison Lilia jumped on Aster, the moment they entered the bedroom, and while on the outside world she didn't do anything as it was obvious Aster was tired, inside of the mind space after he was
well rested, she thoroughly "devoured" him.
All in all, it was a really good day.
