"You know you are the father right?" Xie started smiling as he looked actually shocked from the reveal. "The Ritual.. and the reason Shuyun has been acting up more than before is because of that. You should have seen her when she was pregnant for Long Yuyin."
".. the Ritual.. how many were involved again?!"
"Don't worry, it's not more than 30 kids. Some are having twins." She watched as Shen Yue's eyes rolled into the back of his head and he fainted. "oh dear...."
"What's going on out here?" Hua Huo looked at the out cold Shen Yue who was smiling but dead to the world. "He looks happy."
"How close are you to him?" Xie felt danger from the younger woman. "You are not in the Dao of Dragon Realm.. but I have watched you fight, no way are you just in the Heavenly Axis Realm."
"Not close enough, but I will be. He is my target. Bang bang!" The fiery redhead made the finger bang motion towards the body of Shen Yue. "My cultivation will take a serious leap when I do."
Xie had to press her for details on the subject further. Hua Huo didn't mind sharing since it was a way for a member of Shen Yue's group to get stronger. That and the woman were really close to Long Yuyin and since she was his stepdaughter and disciple, it was best to make them even stronger.
Once Shen yue came to, he worked back on his cultivation happily. He was not a father previously and it was definitely something he looked forward to. Well he adopted but that was mostly handled and done by the wife while he focused on keeping the Dimension form Collapsing.
In the back of his mind he worked at ways to improve the Dream Bowl even further in preparation of leaving abruptly if things go bad.
The increase of his Time energy was something he wanted to increase higher as well. But something else drew his immediate attention.
From the resources gathered and time spent so far, the Blizzard Fate Divine Spark grew one more to catch up with his others. The various Fate Souls started spinning at an even pace along with the Fate Stars & Fate Souls of his Heavenly Star Realm Cultivation.
The agitation was trying to tell him something in regards to cultivation. Shen Yue swept his Astral Sense out checking on those connected to him to make sure nothing was amiss. ll were well enough and not trying anything dangerous, so it was definitely really just him.
Entering the actual Wastelands gave the feeling of being in an actual pit of despair. Not a single bit of nourishment for miles and miles. The Heavenly Energy in the air was thin and definitely caused a strangling fight for whoever tried to cultivate carelessly.
Finding the first of the Sky Origin Clans campsites, the group felt in worse. Shen Yue had seen worse actually so he was less affected by the almost malnourished people.
"If these people were in Glory City, I have no doubt they would all be at the peak of The Legend Realm, if not finding away to break into something higher. Maybe even developing the a Divine Spark Theory of their own." Long Sha probed almost everyone and couldn't get over how they made it to the Dao of Dragon Realm with no resources to help. "This is maddening."
"Hmm, yeah." Shen Yue murmured not caring really. His left hand moved in a circular motion absorbing the Heavenly energy up. Using the Heart Method and Astral Sense, he pierced through the surface thoughts of the people to find names and other matters of importance once more. "We need to make this quick. The exchange between the sects is coming soon."
*Fwish!* Flames surrounded Shen Yue as he took a step forward and took on his persona of the Skyblaze Ambassador. His physical feature changes under his clothes was noticeable to the others after spending the last few days traveling and fighting with him.
Yan Yang already change enough to allow a bif of insight to let him see more. Plus it was getting time to move a little faster to build a stronger force that would do things that were not his people.
"What!?" A member of the Sky Origin Clan stared as Shen Yue removed his hoody. "Your not tan like so many others.. this is your natural skin color! Are you like us?!" Confusion as the physical features were very close to Sky Origin Clan and the older members.
"No, my people did away with slavery long ago, the same as several others before them." He walked closer and offered a handshake to the dazed cultivator. "Does not mean it does not exist teh vast subsidiary and greater dimensions still."
"Who are you then?" The member was proud and did not cower away, the hand shake felt inviogarting as Shen Yue sent in Star energy through his fingers. 'Are you here to higher us as well?'
"I am an Ambassador of the Skyblaze Sect, you may call me Leroy when you see me or Ambassador." His purple eyes radiated energy as the guiding of the Star Energy ate away at the inherited Soul Seal placed on him by the Sage Emperor. "This should help you trust me, yes?"
As the Soul Seal was eaten and any prepared Soul Contract withered away into nothingness, the Cultivator felt a change in his body. Since the Star Energy was produced by the Flame Vortex Core, the Sky Origin clansmen was protected from Divination.
However, if he blabbed he was free from the seal it would just end badly for the clan. Since the lackeys of the Sage Emperor would descend on the place like jackals. Hopefully everything goes well until then.
"Yes, definitely trustworthy." Grateful, the man clasped his other hand over Shen Yue's. "There has to be something you want for this, members of Sky Origin Clan always pay back their debts."
"There is, gather the most trustworthy for us to discuss terms. Not only will we discuss freeing the rest of the tribe, but we will discuss the immediate future plans. But this offer is only for the next few days." Shen Yue places a few storage devices in the man's hands. "These contain food and clothing, to help speed up the process faster."
A quick look over all teh food and clothing had the Sky Origin Clan Member excited. The food would be even better for the younger members to help them grow more. With the rich energy coming off the meat, it left no doubt it was fresh.
The speed he moved was more than enough to convey his excitement further. There were no cheers of talks needed for now.
"Yan Yang, what do you think of the last few days?" Shen Yue asked after checking a few Sound Barriers in place.
"Hmm, I figured you might ask me something about it eventually. Personally I have no qualms about what has happened." The red head shook his head as he only found himself enjoying the different places and different sparring partners. "I don't like losing to your people but my combat abilities have greatly exceeded what they were previously."
He had no idea how Shen Yue was able to cross large distances but he knew it was some type of formation he was practicing with the use of the Demonic Beasts tamed.
"Well you should no this then," Shen Yue turned to him grinning. "I plan on having the Sky Origin Clan eliminate the Dragonbreath Chamber and the other slave owner Organizations around the Wastelands."
"As an Ambassador of the Skyblaze Sect, are you willing to implicate the Sect?" Yan Yang expression turned fierce. He looked even more dangerous than he did during the time him and Shen Yue dueled.
"Was going to implicate the Divine Feathers Sect and Long Tianming actually." Shen Yue flexed his energy almost crushing Yan Yang. This alerted Yan Yang's Master who floated up above but he made no moves just yet. "The Demon God's Sect is heavily invested in the Divine Feather's Sect thanks to him, weeding them out has gone decent but not good enough for my tastes. So, why not have another party apply pressure to them?"
The cultivators of the Long Clan he killed before already had their Souls Searched deeply, with all the new Demon Beasts he trained, the faces of those members and mannerisms were going to be applied to the beasts for infiltration.
With a few energy masking techniques taken from the Library, the amount of destruction he would bring to the camp of Long Tianming would be worse than any the Divine Feathers Sect ever came across.
"What if you fail!?" Yan Yang pushed back as he started transforming into his demon spirit. This only increased the burden on hos body from the weight kicking up by Shen Yue using the Metal Seed to blast at his senses. "Anyone who endangers the Skyblaze Sect must be eliminated!"
"Then why allow the various Sects to act as they do?" Shen Yue walked over to him slowly and confidently. "Why haven't any of your forces crushed the various disciples you have come across causing trouble to others? Surely the reports back have enlightened you over the years to the misgivings of many? No point in letting an enemy build."
"Guh!" Yan Yang ground his teeth as he exhausted his Heavenly Energy to step forward to meet his approach. Determination the only thing pushing him forward. "I do not have the strength to manage every threat! Battles have to be chosen wisely!"
*Ripple!* Shen Yue released his pressure from around the young man and focused the Heavenly Energy he had gathered around his hands into the exhausted cultivator. The energy worked his body the way water would a dried piece of fruit.
"Thank you for helping him." A voice echoed in the ears of all present. "I will speak with members of the Skyblaze sect and see what they think on the matter. Try not to act to hastily Ambassador."
Shen Yue gave a simple nod as a few of them watched over Yan Yang who recovered and pushed his cultivation to the Next Realm diligently.
It took only half a day for thousands of Sky Origin Clan members to make it over. They came in droves and already wore the clothing provided. Some already figuring how to activate the runes inscribed on the fabrics.
*Woosh!* The strongest members landed in front, exuding a look of defiance but also looks of hope. The Sky Origin member before came from out of the group towards Shen Yue.
"These are the members I could convince, the rest are very hard pressed. Especially with a few having their guard up thinking you may be sent to cause trouble like that of the Dragonbreath Chamber members."
"Not at all." Shen Yue instructed Long Sha and Long Yuyin to come over. Both dropped a few people out of their storage rings. "I believe this is a close member of Vice President Lin," The man was only in the 2nd Rank of the Dao Of Dragon. "I have no love for them at all. Let me prove it."
*Schlick!* Shen Yue ripped the man's arms off with a brutal yank. He delivered a kick to the center of that back and then pressed his face down into the dirt. Any effort to get up was met with a kick that broke more bones.
The screams echoed in the Endless Wilderness and brought a feeling of happiness to the Sky origin members. So many years spent under the thumb of others and so many of their people ruined because of shifty deals made it hard to bare.
Each moment Shen Yue applied pressure, the more the Heart Method grew from suppressing the man. Someone so haughty and use to ruining the lives of others was just perfect as a resource. One could only imagine what would happen if he completely brought down the Dragonbreath Chamber in front of an audience.
*Fwish!* With a snap of the finger, Shen Yue burned the man in purple flames. Not leaving behind a single trace, except a storage ring. Which he emptied the contents out taking control of several Soul Contracts.
"Return to the Endless Wilderness at once." Exerting his Aspect of the Soul with the Contracts in his hands, he was able to send an order to those who were ensalved. All over, several Sky Origin Clan Members were rushing towards the Endless Wilderness. "Some will die of course, but that was already gonna happen."
"If you want to save your fellow clansmen, then you must act now. What the Sage Emperor has done to you all is horrendous, but the exploitation by the others is even worse." Yu Yan spoke out with a righteous that warmed the heart. Her sincerity was more than anything Shen Yue could project, her heart was just more into it than his own. As well as several others in his camp. "Come with us and fight with us, get revenge on those who have done you wrong. Get Justice for those who have fallen."
