Chapter 951: [Grand Cosmos Family Altar]



Chapter 951: [Grand Cosmos Family Altar]

Yasenia led everyone outside, and they followed with anticipatory gazes. The dragoness was not usually the type of person to hide surprises, so this mysteriousness was tickling their curious hearts.

Even the girls were not really sure of what Yasenia did. After all, they knew that she was trying to create the family martial art, but not much more. 

Coraline asked Ebirah. "Do you know what this is about, Little Ebirah?"

Ebirah shook her head. "I only know that Yasenia has been trying to create a Martial Art! This is probably it. But, I know nothing more."

Coraline raised her eyebrow. 'A martial art? I mean, while I admit that the girl is talented, can she really create a powerful martial art at her age?'

After walking for a while, they arrived in front of a pair of massive doors that were not there the last time they visited. Tengliu looked upward and asked, stunned. "What is this, Little Yasenia?"

The dragoness smiled. "This is the gate for the [Get Better At Martial Arts Family Altar]!"

Kali spoke with extreme seriousness. "Change the name."

The dragoness's excited smile froze, and she pouted. "W-Why!? It sounds good!"

Kali glared at her and said. "Change it."

Yasenia used her most lethal, cute, and attractive gaze and turned toward Andrea, asking for help. However, even before she completely turned, Andrea spoke rather curtly. "Change it."

The dragoness bent over as if someone had punched her gut. "I-Impossible, even my spoiled gaze didn't work… Dear-"

Evelyn shook her head. "Change it, Yasenia."

Yasenia fell to her knees. "Gah!" Then, she gazed at her Baby and opened her mouth. "B-Baby, can you convince them?"

Angel opened and closed her mouth, then, with much difficulty, she looked sideways. This was a deep slap for Yasenia; her face twisted sideways from the phantom blow. 

Yasenia pouted and commented. "Okay, whatever. How to call it?"

Kali sighed. "Love, isn't it quite easy? Use the name of the thing that is in there and add an altar or something to it."

Yasenia stood up again and tilted her head. "Then… [Grand Cosmos Family Altar]?"

The girls almost spat blood. 'You had that badass and absolutely great name available, and you chose [Get Better At Martial Arts Family Altar]!?'

The dragoness sighed. "Anyway, the [Grand Cosmos Family Altar] was created to hold a thing I created during the last years. It is the accumulation of everything I know, learned, and comprehended. Of course, it will become more complex as time goes by and evolve as I understand more. The thing inside is able to absorb my experiences if I pour them into it."

Coraline asked, curious. "So… What does this altar do?"

Yasenia turned around and pushed the enormous doors. This altar was designed so that all kinds of creatures could enter, including giant beasts. The door was embedded in the mountain because the entire mountain had been transformed into the altar. 

This mountain was nearly 30 kilometers tall, and the doors that lead into it were 2 kilometers tall and 1 kilometer wide. 

The sheer size of this place was difficult to picture. 

Yasenia could open the doors thanks to her ridiculous physical strength. There was no need to create a formation or enchant them so that they were lighter. In Yasenia's opinion, if someone from her family in the future was unable to open the heavy doors or have someone open the doors for them, they were unworthy of what was inside.

After pushing it a little bit, she used her entire strength and transferred it to the doors. A powerful energy pulse swallowed everything, and the doors lit up with gorgeous imagery of a dragon woman doing all kinds of martial arts. 

Everyone looked in awe as the gargantuan doors opened. The children, who still had not developed enhanced vision, were even more stunned. In their eyes, their mother had suddenly pushed open a mountain high enough for them not to see the top. 

Even Kaleina, who could see further thanks to her early cultivation, was shocked. 'What kind of strength is this?'

Yasenia turned around as they opened and smiled. "Let's go inside."

Everyone followed behind her while looking around. The second they stepped inside, the dark inner part of the altar illuminated, revealing a place large enough that it felt like a small world.

The place was carved with several images representing Yasenia and the girls. It told the short yet eventful story of the dragoness with vivid and gorgeous imagery. 

Then, in the middle of the enormous place, there was a "small" stone tablet surrounded by a formation with a 10-kilometer radius. The formation was separated into six concentric circles. 

The dragoness spoke. Her voice reached all of them with ease. "This is the place. That stone tablet in the middle is where all my experiences as a martial artist have been stored. The [Grand Cosmos Stele] is an artifact that can spread a particular type of energy outward that can be comprehended. Depending on what the people comprehend from the stele's images and energy, one can slowly learn the seven major realms of the Grand Cosmos martial art."

Yasenia laughed. "Well, that's the simple explanation."

Everyone looked at the dragoness with open mouths. They could perfectly feel that the thing in the middle was incredibly valuable. It was to the point that seniors like Coraline could sense that they would be able to learn new things themselves if they sat down to look at the stele." 

Tengliu stuttered. "D-Did you create that stone tablet? Alone?"

Yasenia shook her head. "I've created the martial art knowledge they impart. What I haven't done is the creation of it. I just beat it up enough that the essence of it was ingrained in it permanently." Yasenia looked at Tatyana and commented. "Tatyana, Mirrory, and Valeria have done the heavy lifting. Without them, this stone stele wouldn't have become like it for a millennium or even more."

Coraline asked, looking at the formation that covered a large part of the area. "What are those concentric circles? Do they have any meaning?"

Yasenia nodded. "Of course they do! There are six concentric circles, for now, because that's the realms that this thing can teach to: Mortal, First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Realm cultivators. The outer circle is for mortals; the next one is for first realm cultivators, etc."

The dragoness grinned. "However, that Stele is not a Heaven-Ranked item. Not even close. It is a high-level Transcendence Level item."

The Mermaid Queen squeaked. "H-High!?"

While it was very rare for the Mermaid Queen to lose her composure so much, this time, nobody mocked her. Everyone could understand the sensations that the Mermaid Queen was going through.

Yasenia added. "Of course, that quality is not fixed. As I said, if, for example, I reach the Transcendence Realm, have new insights, etc, I can come back here and pour my experiences into it. The Stele will absorb everything and evolve with it. The stone it is made of is very easy to… Enhance? Meaning that as long as I have enough materials, I can upgrade its quality."

Loberon, who finally snapped out of his daze, asked. "L-Lady Yasenia…"

The dragoness smiled. "Just Yasenia is fine."

Loberon nodded and asked. "Then, Yasenia, This is your family treasure, so to speak, right?"

"Hmmm…" Yasenia pondered and answered. "More or less. At least for the family that will grow in Distancia, it is. Why?"

Loberon pointed at himself. "So, um, is it okay that we are here?"

Yasenia blinked and realized. "Oh! Well, all people here can be considered close family one way or another. At least, you've proven yourselves to be considered close enough for me to reveal this. If my eyes deceived me and I made a mistake and something happens, I only have myself to blame."

The maids of the children, who were walking behind them, couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and loyalty. 

Yasenia spoke. "While using the tablet is somewhat unlimited, I won't let anyone use it. It is obviously an advantage for those who closely follow me and, well, my family. I want to divide the allocation of time depending on many things, and I hope that everyone can understand it."

The dragoness sighed as she approached Estrella. "I don't want to make barriers, to be honest. However, I want my blood family to have an advantage. It is the truth, and I won't lie."

Coraline laughed. "We understand, Yasenia. Don't worry. We promise to try to keep our greed in check." 

Yasenia smiled. "I know that you will. If I wasn't 100% sure, I wouldn't have called you here. What I am worried about is more… How to explain it…" Yasenia looked at the Stone Stele and sighed. "Once you try and feel that thing, you'll get to learn a large part of who I am. Some of my weaknesses and strengths will be exposed."

She then picked Estrella from Tatyana's arms and crouched so that the rest of the children gathered around her. The dragoness's tail forcibly pulled Kaleina to crouch with the rest, making her giggle. "Babies, this is Mommy's present to all of you. Although it is a bit unfair to Estrella, since today is your birthday, to compensate, Mommy won't give any presents to anyone this year, okay? This big place is Mommy's present to each of you for this year."

All the children looked at their mother's gentle facial expression with bright eyes. 

Everyone looking couldn't help but feel their hearts melting, as everyone in that circle of 8 people had exactly the same eyes. Eight pairs of golden slit eyes that shone with the warmth of the Sun.

Tengliu smiled softly. "It's really beautiful, isn't it?"

Coraline patted her shoulder and asked. "Have you thought of starting your own family?"

Tengliu snorted. "As if…" Then, she sighed. "As if I haven't thought of it. After my fight with Yasenia, I feel completely liberated, and then, seeing those adorable little creatures, I just can't help but want a few of my own."

Linghui Mingyu smiled mischievously. "If you want to check for a mate, perhaps it is better to wait for Yasenia's bloodline to produce a male." 

Tengliu looked at the Mermaid Queen with a speechless expression. The Mermaid Queen raised her eyebrow. "What? Am I wrong? It's not like age is a big barrier as long as they are an adult. Look at Yasenia and Tatyana's age difference."

Tengliu opened and closed her mouth. "B-But the seniority!"

The Mermaid Queen looked at Tatyana and saw the red-eyed woman smiling at her. However, somehow, the smile felt colder than a sword pointed at her neck. "What were you talking about my age, little mermaid?"

Linghui Mingyu stuttered. "I-I was saying that Lady Tatyana is incredibly young and at the epoch of her life! I wish I was like that!"

Tatyana's smile relaxed a bit. "Hm~, that sounds much better. I am 20- Wait, no, I am 60 years old! Perfect for my little treasure!" 

The seniors around felt their mouths twitching, wanting to say a thousand words and being unable to say even one. 

Tatyana then spoke. "Also, if you want to go for the little ones, wait until they are an adult to start doing any courting. And…" Tatyana looked at Tengliu with a raised eyebrow. "No [Seduction Intent] or skills allowed. If you use any, including your beauty as a cultivator, I'll kill you."

Tengliu laughed awkwardly. "Don't worry, I'll probably try to search outside."

Tatyana was confused. "You have excellent genes here and want to search outside? I mean, sure, suit yourself."

Tengliu didn't know what was wrong with this family anymore, and that was a lot coming from someone like her. 'Ah… Whatever, the future me will deal with these things.'
