Reaching Beyond Immortality

My hands work meticulously to return Xiao Hong her voice, allowing me to hear those arousing gasps and moans with delight. They are like music to my ears, and I think I should do this more often since I do enjoy it very much.

Xiao Hong enjoyed it as well, considering that it is much better than playing with herself.

I still like to see her do that at least once. Just for the experience. There is nothing more beautiful than a supreme beauty bringing herself to orgasmic pleasure. The resulted expression during that moment is one of the most natural form of expressive desire in my opinion.

"Master… ah… please…" Xiao Hong pleads as my mischievous fingers explore her incredibly wet depth deeper and deeper. From the ways that her feminine form rubs back and forth against me, I am certain that she does not mean me to stop.

And as such, I double my effort, digging deeper and grinding and rubbing her inner walls, sending her entire body and state of mind in undeniable euphoria yet again. It is the least that I can do for her. Not that I don't take great pleasure in doing so.

Practicing my handcrafts too. Or is it called finger crafts?

I smile as Xiao Hong gasps and gasps while her body quivers uncontrollably. Her head leans back while her eyes slowly roll upwards until she loses all control. Just from that orgasm alone, I am sure that she would be pleasantly enjoyable in bed. Very so.

"Mmm… master… I need it…" Xiao Hong pleads once more. Her legs flexing side to side, trying to sate the growing sensation in her loin. My fingers are simply not long and thick enough.

"Not yet, Hong-chan. There is a time and a place for everything, and you will get your chance to prove your devotion to me," I tell her as I fuck her womanhood with my fingers, spreading her cunt expertly and sending her higher and higher into the cloud.

While Xiao Hong is in high heaven, I take a moment to think seriously to myself. While there is a good chance that she will not be able to step into the Divine Realm and beyond, I still hope that she can be more than she could ever be, with or without my help.

With my help, preferably, as I like to get involved. Like I am involved right now. Not very involved as it would result in Xiao Hong bouncing with a wanton expression. Amen to me.

Ahem.

I have abandoned everyone that I have known the first time around, mostly due to circumstances and my own ambitions. I rather not repeat the same mistake this time around since standing at the summit by myself is incredibly lonely.

Lonely for junior too.

If there is a slight chance that Xiao Hong can defy the heaven and shoulder its will, becoming a Divine Empress, it is good enough for me. Surely, with my knowledge and resource, her chance should be far better than it is.

In the event that Xiao Hong disappoints me, I am sure at least a handful of girls within my future harem would not. I will be a terrible master if the past repeats itself. Very terrible lover too.

"Xiao Hong," I address her sternly with seriousness in my eyes. "Do you wish to climb the highest peak there is? And what would you give in return for reaching the top?"

Xiao Hong gasps and heaves heavily. She is having a difficult time comprehending what I have just told her, and I do not really need to hear her response to know her answer. As a cultivator, she would give anything to become a powerful immortal.

Of course, Xiao Hong would give everything to become a literal God.

…

…

…

"The reason that you should not step into the Spiritual Realm yet is because you have not reached the final stage of the Martial Realm," I reveal while in a meditated position across from Xiao Hong. She is also in the same position, facing me.

Xiao Hong is adoring a new white robe after cleaning herself with a tool. She has plenty of spare clothes inside her storage ring as well as useful vanity tools such as the one she has used to clean herself.

Those vanity tools are quite common in the old era, and they are also quite common in this era. They can easily be brought anywhere by anyone. It is the main reason that everyone regardless of whether they are cultivating or not is always cleaned and well-dressed.

Xiao Hong takes in the knowledge without speaking up as expected from someone of her standing, for if she was an outer disciple instead of an elder, she would likely be yapping her mouth off, questioning every little detail.

I continue talking. "From what I can see for myself, you have not reached that final stage of the Mortal Realm either. But do not worry, Hong-chan, while you are still in the Mortal Phrase, you still have the chance to reach that final stage of the Moral Realm and obtain the merit law within."

Mortal Phrase refers to the Mortal Realm and Martial Realm. Once a cultivator steps into the Spiritual Realm, they would be considered on the Spiritual Phrase with the first realm being the Spiritual Realm.

The majority of cultivators understand realms but very few cultivators understands phrases, and those that do have a greater chance of reaching Immortal Realm as well as the ability to transcend Immortal Phrase in the Divine Phrase.

Seeing her expression, I explain to her what the phrases are, and she accepts my explanation without any doubt. I would be annoyed if she continues to doubt me.

"You are wondering why one must acquire those merit laws?" I question.

Xiao Hong nods. "A little bit, master. It seems to be a waste of effort when one can bypass it and enter the next realm. But if you believe it is the best for me, then I will do whatever you desired of me."

I chuckle. "You would do whatever I desired of you? Do you not fear that I meant you harm?"

Xiao Hong smiles faintly. "I do, but if you wanted, you could easily have it. I do not have the power or the will to resist you. If that is so, then I will serve you willingly. It is not as bad as I had initially thought at first. There is just something… incomprehensible about you, master."

I laugh at that and gesture my hand in dismissal. "Thank you, I guess, Hong-chan."

"It is not a waste of effort to complete those stages," I continue and gather my thoughts. Phrases are quite complicated at their core, so it is hard to explain them fully in simplest terms. However, I actually do not need to explain them in full detail. Only enough for Xiao Hong to understand.

Xiao Hong waits patiently for me to find a good analogy. Something that she can easily comprehend.

If she was from Earth, I can just use gaming terms such as experiences and levels. Phrases are almost the same as levels, and experiences are accumulated with each stages successfully cultivated.

"Okay, it is like this, Hong-chan," I speak up once more. "For a Kingdom to become an Empire, it needs to establish a certain number of foundations. The same for when an empire wishes to rank up. While it is not an absolute requirement, proclaiming a higher rank without establishing the required number of foundations would likely cause the downfall of that Empire."

Xiao Hong nods. Even if she has spent her entire life within the Valley of the Wind, she still knows what is going on in the world. In fact, more than quite a few emissaries from nearby Kingdoms and Empires have come by, dropping off gifts and tributes.

"Stages are like foundations to Empire. A certain amount is required to ascend from one phrase to the next. But unlike Empires, if you do not complete enough stages, you will not able to ascend into higher phrases. It does not seem apparent at lower phrases like Mortal and Spiritual, but at Immortal Phrase and above, it becomes a bottleneck."

Xiao Hong looks thoughtful for a moment. She seems to understand, but there is something troubles her. I do have a good idea what troubles her.

"You should worry about that, Hong-chan. Once you obtain a merit law or two, it will become apparent to you," I point out. "As I have demonstrated, there are greater Realms than the Immortal Realms. To reach them, you must bring every lower realm to Grand Completion."

Unfortunately, even if every lower cultivation realm has reached Grand Completion, a person still does not have enough to ascend from Divine Phrase into Primordial Phrase. I have learned of that, and thus, here I am, in the hidden realm, the Origin Realm.

"Only he who picks himself up after the greatest descends, can reach even greater ascends," I murmur the same words that bastard spirit has told me, basically saying that I must reach Origin in order to be able to reach Primordial, a level beyond Godhood.

The problem is that Origin Realm is before Mortal Realm, thus I have to literally destroy my cultivation to reach it. Not that I mind, considering it does give me a chance to see the world in a much different perspective.

Xiao Hong ponders what I have just said. It sounds extremely profound to her, and it is. "I hope that I can, master. Please teach me."

"I will," I response and notice the last of my camera drones return. I have almost forgotten about them as they had taken way too long. There is an obvious reason for their delays, and it comes in the form of another cultivator.

Another heaven-defying beauty. Great!
