Chapter 18 Soul Manifestation Realm & Time To Explore This World (Edited)
Time passed day after day month after month and inadvertently almost a year had passed and one day when Lilia was cleaning her son\'s body Aster\'s eyes suddenly opened.
The first thing he noticed was that his upper body was exposed, then he saw her.
His beautiful mother was smiling but she could not hide the concern that she had on her face, Aster immediately hugged Lilia and realized that it had been more time than he thought because he was taller than he remembered.
Thinking of how worried Lilia must have been that he didn\'t wake up, made him feel a bit guilty.
"How long was I in meditation mom?".
Lilia started crying and answered with a broken voice.
"A-Almost a year, darling".
Aster was surprised because for him it felt like a few hours, he smiled at Lilia and helped her wipe her tears befie hugging her, the warm and comfortable feeling of his mother\'s body enveloping him was still the same.
"I\'m sorry mom I didn\'t want to worry you like that, let me give you a little surprise to make up for all this".
After saying that he stopped hugging Lilia and extended his hand then a small light began to shine in the room and after a few seconds Lilia saw a white sword with gold engravings in her son\'s hand.
Lilia\'s jaw dropped, and with a shocked voice said.
"Soul Manifestation!!!, but it\'s only been two years since you started cultivating".
Even in Lilia\'s family the greatest known geniuses took at least five years to reach the final realm of the mortal division, and that is if they were guided by experts and fed up with high grade spirit treasures.
Do not look down on someone who has reached either the Soul Manifestation Realm or the Star Tribulation Realm.
After all, many people find a wall that prevented them from continuing to advance for the rest of their lives and that is those realms function, it is well known that it would take more time advancing to the soul manifestation realm, than to reach nascent soul realm from the early stage of the tempered body.
That was the reason why those who reached the soul manifestation realm by going through the awakening ceremony were so rare and were considered geniuses among geniuses.
Lilia couldn\'t express her emotion in words, her son just kept creating one miracle after another which made her feel happy and proud, "my son will definitely become the best of all", she thought.
Aster didn\'t know the magnitude of what he had accomplished and he honestly didn\'t care, as long as his mother was proud of him it was enough.
"Congratulation daring, I\'m proud of you hehehe tell mommy what you would like as a reward and it will be yours".
Aster would have wanted to ask her to be his wife but he knew it was not the right time yet, so he decided to ask her to let him train in the outside world, after all until today Lilia had never lost sight of him for a second and although he was not unhappy with it, he wanted to explore this world that was so different from earth.
"Mom... I would like you to let me explore outside, I know you care about me but I need to experience some difficulties to hone my skills, after all how can I become strong enough to protect you and Alice if you are watching over me all the time?".
Lilia wanted to refuse but she realized that her son was growing up and that he needed to expand his horizons, others might think he still too young, but on this planet there is no one who can hurt her son as long as she is here.
"Okay if that\'s what you want, I accept it, but I will give you a protection talisman, you will have to communicate with me at least three times a day and you will not go further away from the Kure desert, okay".
Lilia was still in the process of recovering her cultivation and at her current level she could appear in a couple of seconds up to a distance of ten thousand kilometers.
Aster did not know much about the geography of this planet as Lilia told him that it was not worth learning about a mere superior planet but still, he knew the places near the main territory of the Wolfstein family as well as the basic information of the geographical division.
The planet azure sky was divided into five continents, the four continents located in each of the cardinal points and the central continent that was exclusive to the Wolfstein family.
In the central continent there were five places that could be used for training, the Hiany Poisonous Marshes, the Silver Star Lake, the Oa Volcano, the Bloody Forest and finally the Kure Desert. Each had its own dangers, Aster planned to train by hunting magical beasts in the peripheral area of the bloody forest after all less than three hundred kilometers from the main castle of the Wolfstein family was one of the entrances to the bloody forest.
"Don\'t worry mom, I know my limits, I will only train in the outside area of the bloody forest, I promise to come back once a week to spend time with you and Alice".
Lilia nodded.
"Very well in that case I will allow it, when will you leave?".
"Right now", Aster replied worried that Lilia might refuse if she had time to consider it.
Lilia saw her son excited to explore and decided to tease him since she wouldn\'t be able to see him for a while.
"Okay, but before you go you should drink mommy\'s milk to keep your body strong and healthy ♥", said Lilia while she exposed her breast for her son.
"Ughh this succubus mother of mine", Aster thought but he did not hesitate for a second and began to drink Lilia\'s maternal nectar.
