After Yakou returned back from the mission, he parted with Kirihara and returned back home for some rest and to digest his gains from the mission. Muzaka and Juraki decided to stay a bit on the Planet Tengoku for some time before they would return to Evernight Planet through a teleportation array.
In fact, Yakou wasn't that far from reaching the Saint Realm, but while obtaining the Perfection of Genetic Code through eating Chakra Fruits was rather easy for him, the second part was harder.
Overcoming the hurdle, which was called the Embryotic Form of Profound Mystery Level of Dao Comprehension and reaching the Profound Mystery Level and condensation of Dao Rune was the harder thing.
But as many of the other Ōtsutsuki Clansmen, Yakou had time for everything and he wasn't in a hurry... at least he had a few centuries until the grand plan of the Elemental Nations was ready and he would need to harvest that planet.
Both of his catopuses were sleeping soundly... apparently, the sole thing that they were doing during his absence was eating and sleeping; he frowned at that because they were still stuck at the lower ends of Tier 1.
And that was even after he ordered some Psionic Crystals and Soul Crystals be prepared for them to absorb, but they were still pretty weak... he had a headache at this because he wanted his familiars to reach Tier 2 as soon as possible.
Only then could he take them to the battlefield.
As he was prepared to enter the cultivation chamber to begin his cultivation season, suddenly, he felt that somebody was entering the premises of the mansion. As he looked around, he noticed that it was one of the Elders of the Clan.
"Greetings, Elder."
Yakou politely greeted the Elder that was at the Holy Lord Realm. In the Ōtsutsuki Clan, even though the bloodline hierarchy existed, strength was also respected by everyone because only the powerful had to right to do what they wished.
"Greetings, the Sacred Heir, Crown Prince Ōtsutsuki Yakou. You have been called for the meeting by the Ancestors, Ōtsutsuki Xen Yang and Ōtsutsuki Shiroyasha."
The Elder of the Ōtsutsuki stated as Yakou stopped in his tracks because this was the first time in his life he was personally called by Ancestors.
His mind quickly raced and searched for a reason why he was called, but he found only an explanation about the captured Divine Emissary of the Evil God Pantheon.
"Then we can go right away."
Yakou said hurriedly; best not to let them wait.
Naturally, he met with each Ancestor of the Ōtsutsuki Clan a few times in his life and was aware that especially Ōtsutsuki Shiroyasha hated waiting for people... and she was pretty... how to say it... delinquent.
Casually beating up people who displeased her was something that had already become a common thing.
The Elder of the Ōtsutsuki Clan who came to fetch him teleported both of them to the Celestial Hall directly as they appeared in the waiting lobby. Soon after, the Elder teleported out, leaving there Yakou alone.
Shortly after Yakou was teleported to the waiting lobby, another person arrived.
He noticed that it was Ōtsutsuki Dōma, who was a direct descendant of the Grand Elder Ōtsutsuki Muzan. He looked like most Divine Lineage Ōtsutsukis, just that he had more complexion and possessed unusually long, pointed nails that appeared to be stained with a pale blue color.
He possesses long platinum blond hair that he wore parted to his right, the shorter parts around his face seeming to flare out to either side around his head, curving backward with one lock slanting down to the right of his face to fall between his eyes.
He was also born with mutated eyes, inheriting the Grand Elder's eyes; they appeared to be made up of an array of rainbow pastel tones that faded into one another as they circled his irises.
"Oyaaa! Yakou! Hi there, my cousin!"
Ōtsutsuki Dōma was one of the younger generations within the Clan; there were not many of them who originated from the Divine Lineage or were from extremely powerful Races on the par with Ōtsutsuki Divine Lineage.
Those who were usually mingled together like Yakou and Dōma.
"Dōma, even you were called?"
Yakou asked his more jovial cousin, though he was very well aware that this was only an outer face that Dōma was putting up, he was a pretty calculating and scheming bastard when dealing with outsiders.
"Not just me... I saw that Bai Long and Gin were also called for the meeting. If I should guess, then they are probably going to assign us some mission that we need to complete together."
As he finished the sentence, he noticed another two people who were teleported here; they were as Dōma said, Ōtsutsuki Bai Long and Ōtsutsuki Gin. This was a pretty weird setup, but at the same time, Dōma's words had some logic behind them.
Ōtsutsuki Gin was a thin, tall, and youthful man with very sharp features, giving him a skeletal appearance, and bears unusual silver hair. He keeps his eyes constantly narrowed to slits, rarely ever opening his eyes enough to reveal them.
Ōtsutsuki Gin was someone who had absolutely terrifying levels of Lighting Affinity, to ridiculous levels and was born with Innate Divine Tribulation Lighting. While he was only 3rd-Grade Tier 2, Yakou could see the Lighting cracking around him from time to time.
Ōtsutsuki Bai Long was someone with ordinary features, but he had some sort of ethereal appearance, with very long hair and sharp features, as he was clinging to his sword.
Ōtsutsuki Bai Long was the son of Ōtsutsuki Bai Zhen, who was, in fact, a human sword cultivator with such high talent that it ensured praise even of Lord Shibai.
If not for his position within the Clan, he wouldn't have known that his father, Ōtsutsuki Bai Zhen was one of the few who earned the privilege of transitioning into Ōtsutsuki.
"It seems that you are right, Dōma."
Yakou said as Gin squinted his eye at the two of them after exchanging greetings and Ōtsutsuki Bai Long only focused on his sword.
Yesterday when I was writing this fic I just realized that Yakou was a character on which I made the most extensive character development ever from all of my fanfics... since then I am in a pretty good mood...
