Having accepted participating in the mission, Aster and the girls entered the spatial gate which surprisingly led them to the castle that floated above the fifth planet of the sect.

Iris and the purple blaze Victor were dumbfounded as they looked at their surroundings.

"This place is!".

Kana clung to Aster and took a deep breath.

"Big brother, the air here is so fresh and clean~".

Aster smiled and patted Kana\'s head, he was also surprised, this was the best atmosphere he has seen before, the gravity was quite chill, unlike other high-level places, and the spirit energy here was by far the best, even surpassing the one at his Twin Sword valley.

"Mm?", Aster suddenly noticed something strange on the sky, he looked upwards and for a split of a second he felt as if his spirit was being absorbed by the sky.

"Darling", Lilia placed her hand on her son\'s shoulder to get his attention.

"Those two have improved quite a lot since the last time I saw them… they found a way to drag spirit energy from the center of the Heavenly Quadrant all the way to this place", whispered Lilia to him.

Aster\'s eyes widened a bit, the dimensional tunnels were created using areas where the space was less "compact", in other words the cultivators just built over something that was already there, but this passage was completely manmade.

"Well, they do have tons of space law imbued materials, I guess if someone was going to make discoveries in this field it should be the ruler family of the Mystic Talisman Heavenly Quadrant", mumbled Aster.

Even Mylene was positively surprised by what she saw.

\'I can\'t believe mortals managed to do this with incomplete runes… where the hell did, I ended up after being dragged by that crack in the space!\', she yelled in her heart.

Julian saw that everyone was surprised by their current location and he inwardly nodded.

"This is the fifth peak, one that can only be entered with the direct permission of an ancestor, all of you are too young and haven\'t participated in an event that granted the entrance to this place as its reward, here anyone below the Heavenly realms, can get ten times the result of a cultivation session with a fraction of the effort".

"It\'s by far the best place to cultivate, surpassing even those high ranked stellar systems, unfortunately I can\'t grant you the access, but I have the right to bring you here for less than an hour, still I suggest you to not actively cultivate, unless you are at the Genesis Manifestation or above, because the spirit energy here is so thick you can suffocate if you try to gather it, just enjoy the pure atmosphere and take it as a sign of my sincerity".

Those who accompanied Iris and Victor who were about to try and absorb this top-notch quality spirit energy stopped in cold, this place was probably used by the ancestors to cultivate, maybe the supreme elders had access and that was all.

The man snapped his fingers and seats made out of rock raised from the ground, everyone took a seat while the man stayed standing in front of them.

"Before I start explaining, let me remember you that whether you decide to go on the mission or not, an oath of secrecy must be held, so if you want to leave this is the best moment to speak".

Seeing that no one was doubting the man nodded and then continued with his explanation.

"Now you might be wondering so much secrecy and importance on a mission in which I\'m relying on disciples who are below the Mortal Transcending realm, while I could have requested the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking which are publicly recognized as the strongest in the whole younger generation of Galatia".

"The answer to that is quite simple, the final destination where you all will be going will automatically kill anyone who has surpassed the Star Tribulation realm, you can trust me as I have seen a… Heavenly Transformation cultivator dying in a matter of minutes when I was younger, a body cultivator who had a huge vitality on top of that".

Silence fell on the area, the people of this stellar system haven\'t properly seen a Heavenly Transformation cultivator in action, Aster knew the supreme elders had surpassed the Transcending realms, but they were suppressing their cultivations, so in the end they remained in what was possible for Law Integration or Gate Transcending cultivators.

And now they were hearing about a Heavenly Transformation cultivator, which was the rumored level of the Ancestors, dying in a matter of minutes after going to their destination, of course it made some feel a shiver ran down their spines.

"Lord Julian, pardon my rudeness, but the reward offered isn\'t even close for what you are asking us to do", said Victor as he tidied up his purple blazer.

The red-haired girl didn\'t say anything, but for once she agreed, even Aster was frowning, the Heavenly Transformation realm was the previous peak his mother reached, and while she assured him, she wasn\'t any worse now, after being "nurtured" by his love, he was sure there had to be a difference, they weren\'t called "Heavenly realms" by nothing.

Sure, he could jump realms in the earth realms and reach the Transcending realms, but he wasn\'t the first nor will be last to achieve it, though he surpassed the concept of genius Lilia… not even Eris and Mylene knew, because he crossed too many minor realms, no one has ever been able to cross the gap between the Transcending and the Heavenly realm.

That\'s why there were half step cultivators, only by setting a foot in the Heavenly realms, some very select people would be strong enough to face a Heavenly realm cultivator, according to Lilia, in her generation the number could be counted with one\'s hands, and that was summing the four Heavenly Quadrants, that were known by Lilia.

The man who Julian called Egil for example, wasn\'t one of them, he was just in the middle stronger than peak Law Integration but weaker than a real Heavenly Transformation.

Julian sighed seeing the reactions of the disciples, but he could understand them, so he elaborated.

"It\'s not like what you are thinking, I can and will swear upon my life that you won\'t be harmed in that sense, because that\'s an absolute rule in that place… set up by what I want you to retrieve".

Julian then took out a book which cover was divided in four sections, each one representing the four basic elements fire, water, wind, and earth.

"This is a book of treasures that have been observed at least once before but never obtained by anyone, it was compiled by the biggest information networks of the four Heavenly Quadrants, which I suppose most of you have at least heard about since my Galatia is a just a bit below high ranked stellar system".

Julian leafed through the book and stopped at a page near the end of the book.

"The reason as to why I\'m not offering any more rewards, is because I will give you all the chance to get a treasure of the highest quality, one that has the potential to harm Heavenly realm cultivators and grows with the user… a spirit wind, the "Emerald Whirlwind" spirit wind to be more accurate".

"What!", both Iris and Victor nearly fell from their seats upon hearing the name, Aster frowned instead, Lilia once mentioned Rigel\'s flames were similar in properties to a spirit flame, a naturally sentient flame resulting from a miracle of the heavens, which was basically a force of nature.

Impossible to tame, but harmless if it wasn\'t provoked, those beings would just disappear from the public eye after the moment of their birth, and now judging by Julian\'s words, he had found one and he was sure it was still there.

"How do you know we can even approach such a thing?", asked Aster.

Julian created a barrier just in case before he answered.

"Because this spirit wind in specific isn\'t free to do as it pleases, it was sealed due to its properties and as I stated the rules of the place where it was imprisoned are absolute, only those below the Mortal Transcending realm are able to enter, and while being wounded is possible, your lives won\'t be in any danger, I\'m willing to put the life of me and my whole clan to back up my words… also you\'ll see it once we arrive anyway".

Aster stole a gaze at his mother and saw her nodding.

\'He is telling the truth darling, I suggest you accept this mission, the utility of a treasure of that level is on par with the halberd your great grandfather has, a sentient treasure that will protect its owner, is the same as being twice as strong as you currently are~\'.

"I wonder why would you make such a bet, why not bring someone from your own family instead of relying on strangers?", Aster wasn\'t innocent enough to believe Julian trusted the Myriad Occupation sect enough to share this secret, there should be a reason as to why he opened about the fact that he knew where to find such a treasure.

Julian bitterly smiled in response.

"Lord of the Twin Sword valley I see your mind is a sharp as your sword intent… I\'m relying in you three who are supposedly the strongest below the Mortal Transcending realm in my stellar system, because the guy who greedily tried to break the rules of that place was related to me by blood, so everyone who shares even a tiny bit of blood with me can\'t enter that place".

"Also, I think you are misunderstanding something, I don\'t care who gets to keep the Emerald Whirlwind, as long as you help me with one thing after getting it, that\'s the real mission, as for why I chose the Myriad Occupation sect, that is because I want my stellar system to be stronger of course, the treasures found by my Galatia family should help my stellar system after all", said Julian as he shrugged.

This time even Aster was a bit surprised, the man in front of him was okay with not fighting for the ownership of such a good treasure, as long as they helped him with something, which he already had a good idea of what should be since a moment ago.

"Is it safe to assume that favor which is important enough to give up on the ownership of the Emerald Whirlwind, has something to do with the person that is inside that carriage?".

Upon hearing Aster words, the guard which was standing behind Julian let out a fierce killing aura, but it disappeared before anyone but Aster, Lilia and Mylene could feel it, because the guard was gazed at by Julian.

\'Sharp eyes indeed\', thought Julian before he nodded.

"Yes, but before I explain you the purpose of getting the Emerald Whirlwind, I need you all to do a secrecy oath".

Everyone swore with their lives to not reveal anything about the mission, including what they have heard and what they were about to be told.

"The Emerald Whirlwind is poisonous, but just like with serpents and scorpions, poison can be used to make antidotes, I happen to need a dose of the one that can only be made with the help of the Emerald Whirlwind, for someone that is important for me, that\'s the purpose of this mission".

Aster nodded, that explained why the parameters of the mission changed to ask experience on dealing with poisons, and curiously the three people here all had a way to counter poison, unless it was a yang-oriented poison, fire is one of the best ways to cancel poison, the Emerald Whirlwind is a spirit wind nor a spirit flame, so Iris whose attribute is clearly fire was a good candidate to tame it.

The guy called Victor is the best male disciple of the Purple Lotus faction, which specializes in poison among the Alchemy peak, and as a man his nature is yang so he fits in the needs for the mission.

As for Aster while no one knew what is attribute is, he showed to be poison resistant back at the mission hall, and as a man he had a yang nature, they were literally the best options available, since the three of them were below the Mortal Transcending realm
