Afterward-
.
Rexford looked in the processed area of his Internal Space. The various materials of high quality were there and the ample amount of Rich Qi produced was definitely worthwhile to purchase all that land and then turn it fertile.
Despite not taking the Rich Qi in and putting it into the soil to replenish it, his Aspect of Nature increased helping him become stronger in different ways. The Pulse of Earth grew stronger every time he did so.
"For the Black Gold Vortex to produce the item, we must know how to make it." The Mini version of him stated. "Good thing you are studying all the different stuff known now to go with it. To think Science will be the largest of studies in our life. The periodic table is annoying."
"If I can get a good understanding of Engineering and Applied Sciences, I can make my own bloody spaceship. Those Mayan Xenos have great technology and so much material for us to use." Rexford couldn't get over the possibilities available. "Not to mention making the different Medical devices by tossing them into the Vortex and spitting it out after."
"Better than me spitting it out." The Mini griped. "I do not want to spit out an Ocean Liner. It will definitely be better than anything produced for one. Those gems are still too hard to cut."
"Yeah." Rexford pulled out one of the gems it spat out before. "I finally have the power level to make marks on it. Good for stronger Protection Gifts that's for sure."
A drop of blood was all they needed to bind it to them. A drop of refined qi by the purse was even better.
Before the talks could continue, Rexford was needed outward. Chang Wen was towering over him looking a little ticked off about something. It was almost cute.
"What is it?"
"Why didn't you tell me you were going into the military?" Oddly worried despite the fact they were all strong. Which was good. Meant she would keep training herself to surpass her limits.
"Just going to train some people not actually joining." Rexford answered. "Now in the future, once I have a better control of a region and ample people to be a threat to the country, that doesn't sound too bad. However, there are tons of "Deity" level people to deal with. I can kill a majority of them but in the meantime, they can wipe out so many of you all, it would not even be worth it to act yet."
"Oh, thank the goddess." Chang Wen pushed him down straddling his waist. "I need some time with you. I just feel crazy lately. Its really weird."
"Alright." Rexford grabbed her hands and pulled her close. "Tell me what's wrong." The two have not crossed the physical boundary just yet. But they were close. Which the serving women he was involved with were hoping to get some relief a little.
They enjoyed the sex but Rexford was always aroused and it hurt their pride a little. The increase in their cultivation was a bonus, however. The door wasn't closed all the way. Jiang Churan was going to speak with Rexford but stopped herself from listening when her name was mentioned.
The Fear produced by her alerted Rexford but he left it be. It would have been better she heard about the situation with the others more. Ranran left the hallway with a grim look on her face after the conversation changed. But internally, Gold Qi formed fast.
Later in the day, Chang Wen talked her heart out until falling asleep, Rexford was doing the finishing touches on his Special Project. The Aspect of Space going on full cylinders.
One by one, his Aspect and the correlating Spears appeared. Spinning and vibrating on an odd frequency.
.
Tales of Demons & Gods-
.
Shen Yue worked at it for a few days and finally made sure the tear in the Dimension was stable. It seemed like someone was working on it through the other side but no hostile intentions came through it.
*Schup!* A small opening was made. On the other side, he could see a young man with black hair with gold tips stabilizing on his end. Next to him, a beautiful redhead who looked to be a mix of Russian and Greek stood by.
"It's stable Rexford.. what is it that place?"
"It is.. I don't know or care." Rexford shook his head focusing on the task at hand. It would be just their luck it collapsed. "The person is what matters. Hey! Have you seen a guy like this by chance?"
He threw a full sketch of Leroy through the opening. It landed right in front of Shen Yue. Who picked it up causing the paper to shine in Gold Qi.
"Umm!" Shen Yue nodded as his eyes glowed Gold for a bit. "Yeah, I know this. Because this person is me. Long time no see Rexford!"
"Yeah been a few months." Rexford said emotionally. "We may not look like how we did originally but at least I met one of you."
"A few months?" Shen Yue shook his head in dismay. "It has been centuries. Well, decades in one place but I spent some time wandering in between places kind of."
"That's... sorry to hear that." Rexford sighed feeling himself drain pretty quickly on energy. His power over Space was not high enough to keep it open between Dimension let alone his power consumption it took overall. "Running out of time, take this!"
He threw a box of modern items through. As well as some cultivation items he could spare currently.
*Schup!* The sphere closed a little. The power to keep it open safely was diminishing. Both Champions were mindful of the danger of operating Dimensional Openings unsafely. Best way to get the Deity over the Dimension they were in on their case or the Unending Army coming after them for doing damaging as Deity Powers.
"Well.. I don't have much in return." Shen Yue looked around before pulling some fruits out of his Internal Space and throwing some of the Flame Vortex Glass through the other side in a bag. "Pretty potent stuff! Be careful with it!"
The moment the bag went over, the sphere closed. Rexford collapsed on the spot from exhaustion. The smile on his face had Sini Dova shaking her head as she picked him up.
"Well, I wonder how he did that with out damaging the Dimension?" Shen Yue touched against the area but found nothing amiss. In fact, the Dimension seemed to be reinforced somewhat. Rexford's Aspect of Space would cause this effect each time. "Guess I will look at these items."
Going through everything took a little under an hour. An assortment of mixed items that were tailored to any one of their group of friends. But a name on a few envelopes with letters in them.
The letter addressed to Leroy was read a few times before he placed it away. No longer in the mood to work or cultivate, Shen Yue turned to go to sleep. One of the items was a comfy pillow that felt like heaven.
"Dammit, I can only wonder what he wrote for the others." As he closed his eyes, Leroy never entertained the idea of opening the other letters. Just wouldn't be right. "Till next time." He muttered.
*Shine!* A golden radiance shined along his body before vanishing. The contact mostly reinforced Leroy's sense of self. But for Rexford, if Shen Yue died, it was a chance to pull his friend over to him.
.
Back in Rebirth of the Urban Immortal Cultivator-
.
"Overextended yourself Rexford." Sini Dova tucked him into bed. She was only partially surprised when he pulled her close planting one on her face. The words mumbled caused a shiver to run down her spine. "I.. I understand."
The sleeping Chang Wen just rolled over snuggling into him. Seeing the dancing Qi around the two, Sini Dova was pleased they still didn't move forward physically. Power was obtained in certain conditions when waiting.
'Every time Chang Wen gets stronger, I can feel my strength increasing.' Sini Dova moved out of the room after sealing it up. Anyone who tried to bother Rexford would be turned away. He needed to relax after all. 'All the Qi Rexford just exuded, his body still contains such robust power.'
The benefits of an Internal (Earth Path) Cultivator had quite the benefit. All the Qi from the Xiantian Realm was used. With a little from Transcendence to help understand better the situation.
Walking down the stairs, showed those still up were happily talking. Tang was currently, speaking on the phone with someone. So speaking to her could come later.
Chitang was watching cartoons with Wei Lan. Wei Rao explained a little to them what was going on for the show.
'This life is not so bad.' With a drink in hand, she went outside. Only a few catching her going out there. The bottle of Assassin Scholar brand was very potent for getting cultivators drunk. The almost golden nectar was still being analyzed. 'Just a few more plays before I can enjoy myself.'
Currents of power swirling around her. Staring at the sky she imagined her future. Well, what it would have been if not for Rexford. The Tribulation of serving the Su Family took way too long. Longer than it should have.
.
Talk among the Serving Women-
.
Sini Dova waddled in the pool deep in thought. What Rexford allowed her to see the past few days as well as what he said plagued her thoughts still. The others came out to talk with her seeing the troubled look on their leaders' face.
"Sini, what's wrong?" Rina asked.
"Bet that bastard finally said something to tick her off." Tiva mouthed off.
*Schlick!* A cut appeared on her face. Not from Sini Dova or Yanyan Hu.
"I thought you fixed that problem of yours already?" Airi was not tolerating it anymore and would fix that behavior now. "You talk shit again, I am gonna discipline you old school style you brat."
"Tch!" Sorry for disrespecting your shared man." Tiva was not really sorry but she finally shut her mouth. 'Out of all the men in his Household, only Ji Xingyu is normal. Maybe Yang Chao as well.'
"Didn't say anything to tick me off per se. It is what he revealed is all." Sini Dova looked them all over one by one before speaking. "If any of you do not like how he acts right now, best to not get involved with his affairs. It is the same courtesy he gave his friends before he stepped into a deeper part of his previous life."
"Not going anywhere." Yanyan Hu said decisively. "I have been in worse and have been treated worse. The Business Deal between him and myself.. I have no complaints. Well.. maybe need a few more lovelies around."
"I just want more training while I prepare to finally become a champion of Hera fully!" She practices a few moves before calming down. "I mean, Rexford is a decent enough flesh dildo and he treats us pretty well. Better than the last gig. Also, I finally decided on attending college."
"What brought that on?" Sini Dova asked.
"Well each of you and talking to him." She said seriously. "His perspective though different than my own, reminds me of some things Lady Hera said."
"Haa, Rexford.. muttered something to me a while ago." Sini Dova wouldn't keep it from them. "Besides pain in the butt Tiva, I assume, of course, he cares about us. Not just like us for the sex and work."
"Sounds good to me." Airi didn't see the problem.
"Right, but what about when he finds out?" Sini Dova was scared it would blow up in their faces. Yet Rexford already knew that they were spying on him. Informing on him that only made the overall situation better since the deeper Hera entwined herself with him the better. "I just dislike it."
"It is our job, so get over it." Tiva said composed. "Business, keep it that way and he won't care. I may not like him much but this is the way people like him operate. If you don't want to betray him, I will deliver everything to her instead. Deniability on your end."
Before any rebuttal could be made, someone else walked out. Aunt Tang came in to ease fears more.
