Chapter 291: Breakthrough, the Connection Realm!
After leaving the underground, Yasenia did not stop and continued running. She weaved through the streets at high speed and finally jumped onto the roofs.
Her speed increased at that moment, zooming toward the Lost Town's entry at high speed. She didn't remember the place clearly, but she was able to navigate the Town easily and follow where the traffic of cultivators was the highest.
It didn't take long until she found and crossed the gate to exit the Town. Then, after looking at the surroundings for a brief instant, she decided to continue traveling to her right. Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com
While she traversed the forest, thoughts about what to do now crossed her mind. 'I should first breakthrough, then communicate with all of them and see if they are done with their things. My communication devices haven't received any signals recently, so they should be safe wherever they are.'
This thought was strange coming from the dragoness. If it were before, Yasenia would have searched for them instantly. She would have prioritized finding all of them over whatever business she had for herself. Was it calmness? Was it better or worse judgment? Had Yasenia lost affection after twenty years of being away from them?
Yasenia's thoughts continued uninterrupted and with calmness. 'Ideally, I will take one day to breakthrough, two days at most. Then, after digesting the gains, I will reunite with all of them and explore the secret realm together for the rest of the duration. How much time is left? Han Xue said I stayed in the Trial for two weeks, so a little less than two months are left. I don't think we can accomplish much in that period of time. Maybe, I can take the chance to eliminate threats.'
Yasenia went deep into the forest and slowly found an isolated place to silently break through.
After four hours of searching for a place to stay, far away from any cultivator, Yasenia found a special cave. 'Hoh? This cave will come in handy to break through.'
She sniffed around and nodded, 'There are only low-level beasts in the surroundings. I can't detect any other smells, so they probably are the most dominant beast in the area.'
After two laps in the surroundings, she made sure her guess was correct. Then, she released a lasting scent at the entrance of the cave to avoid being interrupted by wild beasts. It wasn't a potent smell, but any beast that smelled it would directly turn tail and run away.
She entered the cave and didn't lose time. She cleaned the surroundings of carcasses and sat-crossed legged in the middle of a five-meter-tall and ten-meter-wide cave.
In the walls, there was a mineral emitting a chilling glow, and this mineral would become important shortly after.
Then she recalled her insights. 'I should be able to overcome the [Connection with the Sun], [Connection with the Moon], and [Connection with the Stars] levels. I'm not sure about overcoming the [Connection with the Celestial bodies] realm last step and entering the next, so I will go slowly instead of rushing it.'
After thinking that, she emptied her mind and began trying to feel the Sun energy around her.
After crossing the seventh, eighth, and almost ninth levels of the Mental Nourishing realm, her comprehension abilities had taken a big leap.
Across the last twenty years, Yasenia had comprehended a lot of things, perfected many others, and increased her skill in the final ones. After gaining so much-needed experience, her insights could finally keep up with her absurd strengthening speed.
Usually, a cultivator has a lot of time to think about each level, realm, and change happening in their body because it took a lot of time to increase their strength. However, a journey that even top-level genius cultivators took ten years to travel, Yasenia rushed it in two.
And this, unknown to Yasenia, hurt her comprehension abilities, creating the bottleneck she had had in her cultivation technique. No matter how heaven-defying, Yasenia was a growing and young individual, after all.
After all those years inside the Trial, she slowly understood those concepts that previously were unclear. Now, Yasenia could be said to be an average cultivator in the Sky Continent. A forty-four-year-old, level nine Mental Nourishing Realm cultivator. That is who Yasenia was at that moment.
This time, it was not different.
After the [Moonglow Ore] on the walls made contact with Yasenia's powerful Sun energy release, They burst into a chilling explosion of Moon energy.
*BOOM!*
However, as said before, Yasenia did this on purpose.
Her [Celestial Dress] came into being, covering her in that distinctive white, body-hugging dress, and [Dragon Authority] boosted her aura tremendously. This aura literally caught the explosion, making it unable to expand nor contract, and she began refining that Moon energy.
The Sun and Moon energies were complete opposites. In a normal case, Yasenia trying to contain this energy would result in an even larger and more destructive outcome. But Yasenia had something that let her use polar opposite energies with ease.
In these cases was where the [Celestial Yin-Yang body] shone the most.
A ripple spread from Yasenia and submerged the berserk energies in the surroundings. The moment this energy touched the energy, it calmed down instantly as if they were a puppy in the hands of its owner.
Then, they obediently moved as Yasenia commanded them for the next step.
For Yasenia, controlling the Moon-energy was harder than the Sun-energy. Even if the Sun-energy was not weaker than the Moon-energy, it was related to life, light, and fire.
Its relationship with life made it easy for Yasenia to manipulate it because Yasenia had more affinity with the Yang energy she normally used to nourish women. Of course, this didn't mean that she was not skilled with her Yin energy, but it was a relationship like the dominant and non-dominant hand.
Furthermore, the Moon-energy had death, darkness, and ice properties, making it more difficult to control.
Still, Yasenia was calm as she manipulated it. Even if her Yin energy manipulation was weaker than her Yang energy manipulation, her problems ended with Yasenia having to take three extra hours to enter the [Connection with the Moon realm].
A chilling aura burst from her, freezing the previous hot surroundings. The temperatures dropped to below zero Celsius like a switch, creating ice crystals in the surroundings.
In total, Yasenia had spent almost thirteen hours inside the cave.
The final step, the [Connection with the Stars] realm, was the easiest but the most tedious.
Outside was the middle of the night, so Yasenia could feel the Star energy increasing in the surroundings. Now, using the same method she used for the Sun connection, she had to connect with the star energy.
It took the whole night to get there.
When morning arrived, Yasenia opened her eyes and used her cultivation technique to absorb all the energies around her like a vortex. Her cultivation soared, and after thirty minutes of absorbing everything created by the breakthroughs, she reached the limit of the ninth level of the Mental Nourishing realm. She would need at most two weeks of cultivation to break through.
