53 Rising Frozen Cloud, Unleashing Ying'er

*Ding*

{[High-Density Water Blade] art has evolved into [Thunderstorm Blade] art}

'More like it! I guess after reaching that cap level, to improve this further, I needed to add a second element.'

Once again, I pointed my fingers at the front, and beam-like energy erupted and cut into the frozen wall in front of me.

The sound it made was similar to that of a lightsaber. But there was some difference to it as I was using fast-running water with potent lightning mixed with the Slaughter aspect.

It was a high-density stream of water beefed up by Lightning, which acted like a saw. Cutting through frozen dirt was not difficult anymore.

'If you can't get through something, then just make an art or make an artefact.'

After cutting some more and sending dirt back outside, I was finally done with the most grunt work of them all.

Instead of making a single cross-shaped underground complex this time, I did three of them, and they are carved at a specific level; the lowest one is three times deeper than the other two islands.

Once this is done, the floating island will have three times the mass.

'When I am done with the mines, I could repurpose the caverns into some sort style of a dungeon.

Or wait! The Ice Phoenix is alive. So, I could ask her how to build trials for her?'

*Snort*

'I am thinking as if she is already under my wing.'

For now, I decided to just lift this place, and then we can decide on what to do with the excess amount of dirt we will have.

'Hmm, maybe instead of the tower, we will go underground? It's easier to keep cold in deep ground. Something like an Underground Cultivation Bunker?

Sounds quite amusing.'

Thinking on this a little bit more, I returned to my work.

~~~~~~Qianye Ying'er~~~~~~

The Blonde Goddess smiled to herself as it was her day to be the maid who would be at Xiao Long's side.

Though her smile swiftly disappeared as other maids told her that he had been doing something for a couple of weeks now.

In truth, he was so busy that he didn't do anything except work and spend time with his wife.

It was annoying for her when she heard it! How in Heaven's name she suppose to make him interested in her if he doesn't do anything with his maids!?

Regardless she decided to go and see where he was.

The blonde flew to the edge and looked down. A frown appeared on her face as she sensed the place.

'This… is like that Snow Song Place. I have never been there, but I did my study on interesting places.

Did Snow Song Star Realm build a branch here?'

For a second, she thought about getting their help to reach the Realm of Gods, but it was pointless.

'I need to stop thinking that I can just get away from this.'

It doesn't help that she can't sense the 'chains' which bind her to Xiao Long.

So as someone who has been scheming for hundreds of years won't stop out of nowhere; that's simply impossible.

Regardless, the blonde maid descended from the island.

'That's a big pile of dirt. Is he going to make this place into another floating island? What is special about this place? Is he planning to use these females to rope himself into Snow Song Realm?'

For a moment, she was worried about her Brahma Monarch Realm.

If he uses any of his creations and pills, then he will make the Snow Song Realm into a Royal Realm! That easy! Just from seeing what he can do, it would only be a matter of time!

'N-No, I can't allow him to be seduced by a Star Realm of average women!'

With an invigorated sense of mission, the blonde descended into the hole in the middle of the place she thought was a sect of some sort.

As she was descending, the beauty sensed the walls and saw orbs of floating flames.

'W-What in Heaven's name is this!? Why can I sense Brahma Profound Energy!?'

The moment she recalled the conversations they had in the warehouse.

The game over part.

A very cold chill washed her whole being, and it was not because it was cold outside.

'He has added mine and that brat's powers…those flames are that of Phoenix as well. Sweet Heavens, what monster is he going to become!?!'

Eventually, she realised that the hole was very deep and there were several tunnels in four directions at different levels of depth.

The blonde eventually arrived at the lowest level and followed her senses.

She flew the west tunnel and arrived at a wide hall with large columns.

"This is?" The blonde softly said as her senses were telling her that something was going on here.

"The core of the Formation which will lift the Frozen Cloud into the skies."

"It looks enormous." She commented on the columns and the size of the hall. While nothing impressive by Realm of the Gods standards, this was made by one person in just a matter of two short weeks.

"To hold the earth in place and allow Profound energy to flow and gather, it needs to be big."

She nodded at his words before walking over to where he was doing something.

The blonde still tries to grasp how a Throne can have such control over his domain abilities.

Domain manifests in Thrones. It's the very first stage in cultivation where a practitioner can cast the domain. But it doesn't mean he or she will be extremely powerful at doing it.

No, it's simply the threshold where one can do it!

"Why? What does this place hold? To get your attention?" She asked cautiously, as she wanted to know why such a large amount of effort was wasted here.

"Because this area is mine, this Palace is mine, and they grew Water and Ice based herbs and vegetation." He explained to her without even looking at her.

And this just bugs her to no end. Here she was right next to him; at least look at her!

But no! He acts as if she is just another one of his maids!

"I see. Do you even know the origin of this place?" She decided to reveal whatever she knew just to get his attention.

"Origin?"

"Yes. The moment I sensed this place, I knew it was not normal."

"Hmm?"

"Yes~ their origin is not simple~."

"You mean the Ice Phoenix?"

His casual replay instantly destroyed the build-up! This made her brain take a few seconds to catch up!

"...You know already!?"

"I learned the Ice Phoenix God Investiture Canon. The art itself told me that this is bloodline art from the counterpart of regular Phoenix."

*Gulp*

"You learned a Bloodline art without having its blood?"

'Nine Profound Exquisite Body! This is not fair!'

The blonde internally was glowing from jealousy!

"Yes, it was an interesting experience; my wife learned it as well, but it took her months while I did it in just a few days."

Her eyes widened as her mind slowly turned blank. What she just heard makes no sense. It's like he was saying that art which the True God has spent making for millions of years, can be learned in just a few short days!

'This… I don't. FINE! I don't care anymore!'

Just like that, the blonde decided that she should just accept the fact that this man in front of her was a freak. Maybe some reborn deity, a Creation God? Maybe? That would explain how he learns things and how he can make things.

If it's true

Then she is even more excited!

"I-I see, so are you interested in Snow Song Realm? The very Star Realm where Ice Phoenix has made its home. You know my Brahma Monarch Realm could help you get that Star." The beauty suggested with a small smile on her lips. She could easily arrange that place acquisition.

Sure, they could make some enemies, but it will be worth it.

"No need. I don't need any sort of force to get what I want, Ying'er. There are far better, more civilised ways to get what I want."

"..."

"...And that is?"

"They will give themselves to me."

"... That's some confidence." She was slightly spooked by how confidently he said it.

"Just from spending time here, I know that their home is an oversize Ice Region just like this one.

Their Star Realm has issues like their population imbalance; based on how Phoenix Empire works, I can predict that they lack Ice Phoenix blood.

I could easily fix those issues, Ying'er. Those are two things which will get me the Snow Song Realm."

"..."

The blonde didn't say anything as she knew what he said was right.

She had never visited Snow Song Realm, but she had the base information on it. And from what he said, she is positive that he is right.

"So, you think they will swear their allegiance to you, but will it last? Star Realms can be fickle; the moment they sense weakness, they will rebel."

She smoothly said to him.

"And you helping me take over will be different?"

"Brahma Monarch Realm is the Strongest Star Realm in Eastern Divine Region. There are very few who would disobey us."

"Is it? You do realise that I have YOUR blood, AND I found that there is an artefact which keeps YOU in check. Do you think I can't remake it? Make it less crude?"

"..."

Her reaction was that of terror, as she never connected one dot with another.

He could remake the Brahma Soul Bell with just from her blood!?

"Using base stereotypes is quite pointless since you sounded that my Sect CAN'T reach Brahma Monarch Realm, which is absurd; I already have foundations to surpass it.

It's only a matter of time before we leave this Star and proceed to add other Stars to my Sect. Unlike your Realm, I won't stop after acquiring a single legacy."

This made her snap out and calm down.

"My apologies; I haven't understood the depth of this situation yet."

"It's fine. You people from Realm of Gods do need a while to readjust."

Qianye Ying'er's eyebrow twitched as she was just called slow or precisely stupid.

"..."

Then he turned around and looked at her, which caught her by surprise.

He took a step and lifted his hand, and put it on her cheek. This was the first time he touched her!

"I can sense your 'dissatisfaction', Ying'er. You just love channelling your emotions through your Profound Energy."

"I-I" She didn't know that, so she didn't come up with an explanation, not that she had time to explain, as Xiao Long was pushing her forward verbally and physically.

Before she can say anything, she is pinned against one of the cold columns.

"You do realise that I KNOW that you are a schemer. Yet, you still scheme, trying to win my maids over is just one example.

Let me give you a proper example; if you invite someone who can hurt you, would you lower your defences? That is just an example. From your reaction, you understand what this means, do you?"

He smirked at her.

"Your plot fundamentally won't work. Because to start a fire, you need to use fire, but in this situation, you are using water."

Qianye Ying'er slowly nodded; it appeared she was doing things backwards.

'It's different when you are plotting against a star realm with pieces and mindless men. In this situation, I don't even have pieces to play with.'

"Hehehe. That gaze, quite a natural schemer, aren't you?"

This was where she was caught red-handed.

"I-Its hard to stop something you've been doing your whole life." She tried to sound as genuine as possible.

"Indeed, so you need some kind of motivation then. Instead of plotting inwards, you should do it outwards." As he said that, he stroked her cheek before leaning forward.

This made her eyes widen as she knew what this meant.

"You know, I could have easily found you a spot if you were more genuine. But, as I have said before, you people from Realm of Gods are a little bit slow."

She slowly nodded and eagerly waited. Will he kiss her!?

"So, how about this? For the sake of motivation to work towards the proper direction, I will give you a tease of what's is to come."

The beauty quite seriously nodded at him. She is eagerly awaiting that fateful moment.

Seeing how eager she was, Xiao Long decided to finally do it. To kiss the Brahma Monarch Goddess, the very same Goddess who made the entirety of Realm of Gods go crazy over.

As the lips connected, the beauty uncontrollably moaned as she felt some sort of energy start flowing into her.

This made her wrap her hands around him and pull him in even more. Whatever this was, her mind was melting away.

Yet, it was cut short as Xiao Long pulled back, which made her angrily pout at him.

"T-This energy, what is it!?"

"My physique."

"Nine Profound Exquisite Body doesn't have anything like that." She said with a confused look.

"Why do you always think it has something to do with something one can inherit? I made it myself; my Dual Cultivation Art and physique, which comes with it, allows one to practise polar opposite elements.

Do you understand? This means what is flowing into you is very potent energy. That's why your body's senses are overloading. It gives one absurd pleasure."

*Gulp*

"D-Does it mean?"

"What you sensed was just the tip of the art."

As he said that, he went back to kiss her, and she eagerly tried to help him.

But her brain started to turn into mush. It has been a while since he added anyone to his harem, as his Yin & Yang Dual Cultivation Art was at its peak. So she is experiencing something mind-numbing.

*Moan*

The beauty got extremely wobbly on her feet as she felt something wash over her. Did she just experience a climax from a simple kiss!?

"Here is your motivation~ did you like it?"

"Yesh."

The blonde couldn't even speak properly as her body was on fire.

"Good."

As he said that, he pulled back and took a few steps back. The Goddess, at that moment, couldn't stand anymore and slid down the column and ended up sitting on the cold ground.

"...You are mean… Master Long~" The blonde said with a dreamy tone. That moment she recovered to some degree as she proceeded to circulate her cultivation base.

"How is this mean? I gave you a glimpse of what my maids get when they do their work properly.

You should see this as kindness from me." He said with an eye roll.

"...Yes~ As Master Long wishes, Ying'er will follow your command."

As she stood up, there was a glint in her eyes. When she wants something, she will get it. That is just how it is. And the fanatical look she had on her face only added to it.

That's right, since Xiao Long gave her directions, she will do it. He wants her to scheme to help his Sect growth she will do it. And she will destroy everything in his path. Just so that he could touch her again!

~~~~~~Xiao Long~~~~~~

'I might have overdone it. That look, I think that's what Yandere looks like.' I sighed to myself internally as I saw how the blonde had just flown away.

Well, as long as she doesn't get crazy in the Sect, I don't care.

If she ropes in the rest of the continent without much of the hassle, then it's even better.

After thinking for a bit, I proceeded to continue my work.

Laying down the formations and arrays, then linking the corners with it.

Then do the same thing with the other two floors.

After finishing with preparation, I returned to my Sect and picked up a Formation core and loads of Purple Veined Heaven Crystals.

For the main core, I decided on the underground middle floor. So it had a few extras like the control arrays and the pedestal.

Once ready, I placed the core on the pedestal, and the formations with the arrays lit up.

The absorption process has begun.

To fasten it, I placed a large chunk of the crystals.

'This is so much better.'

I looked at the Barrier wall in front of me. I can see the percentage going up.

It feels nostalgic to see a bar like this filling up.

After a while, the Earth started to shake, and my senses were telling me that we were slowly moving up.

"So it was enough. Good to know."

I mumbled to myself as I proceeded to leave the Formation Core Hall and fly up.

Once I was high enough, I watched how the floating island started to rise from the ground.

The area is a perfect circle, and it split up from the ground smoothly like it was carved out of crystal.

'Beautiful, adding slaughter aspects in this specific section of the formation was a good touch from my side.'

"You even used my slaughter powers in this as well!"

A girl's voice said from behind me.

I turned around and saw Xing Tong dressed in a battle-maid uniform.

Yes, it makes girls look more soldier-ish as they have a few bits of armour on them, like wrist protectors and combat boots.

"Your bloodline power is very useful. So, yes, I am using it wherever I can."

*Hmph!*

"Good to hear." While the redhead sounded like she didn't like it, there was a small smile on her lips.

"So cute. You deserve a heat pat." Just like that, I was in front of her and proceeded to head-pat her while looking at how my third and largest island so far was rising into the air.
