Heaven, Earth, Me-Chapter 1251. Star Forge’s Discovery.

Luan Feixue followed Star Forge to her mountain peak. As one of the top elders of the sect, she controlled one of the many peaks that the sect encompassed. The journey there was quick, and in less than 15 minutes, they were in the middle of the mountain. Star Forge spoke at that moment. "This is the residential area. Your Senior Brothers and Sisters live here, while my residence is over there."

Feixue followed her finger and noticed a relatively large residence slightly higher in the mountains. Star Forge commented. "To go and receive the general classes, you will use the teleporting formation at the center of the small residential area. Tell Steward Zhu, and he will send you anywhere in the sect."

"Is it common to move through teleporting formations?"

Her question was normal. After all, maintaining teleporting formations was not cheap, even when they didn’t cover that much distance. Star Forge smiled. "We need them if we want to nurture mortal cultivators. Once you reach the Fifth Realm, you’ll stop using them. It is more than possible to move between mountains without spending much time at those levels." She crossed her arms and commented, her tone serious. "Never try to move between mountains before then, okay? There are beasts and many other dangers that Fourth Realm cultivators and below can’t deal with. These mountains are far from being completely explored. We only took a few of the outskirt mountains because there are many resources you can find going deeper into the mountain range."

Star Forge was looking to the horizon, where mountains rose and fell like undulating ocean waves. This view extended as far as one’s sight could reach, leaving Feixue breathless. Star Forge Lady smiled. "You’ll explore them when you get stronger. Either way, come, I’ll guide you to your residence."

The small residential area had around 30 simple houses. However, as they walked inside, the energy density increased exponentially. Surprised, Yasenia checked the ground and noticed that the tiles were set up in formation circles. ’Oh? An advanced energy gathering and condensing formation... Moreover, it is one that’s connected with nature, so it doesn’t even need to be replenished after activating it. It has become one with the world. Impressive.’

"This is your house!"

Luan Feixue looked at the not very large house and blinked a few times. "Um... Isn’t it a bit small?"

"Why?" Star Forge Lady looked at it and chuckled. "Why would you need more than this? Remember, child. We are cultivators. Mortal desires are our chains, and you must learn not to covet them. A small house is enough to live in. A place connected with nature and with enough resources to feed you is everything you need. You must reflect, connect with nature, and calm down your heart’s resentment."

Her words made Feixue pause and look at her new master. Star Forge smiled faintly. "I saw your Heart Demon trial. In truth, you shouldn’t have passed the entry exam. Your heart is a mess, to put it lightly. So, for the next two years, I want you to forget about advancing in cultivation and reflect in these mountains. Let your worldly desires slowly decrease, but don’t forget them completely."

"But..."

"I know." Star Forge spoke. "You want closure. You want to take revenge on those who slighted you. That’s not impossible, and Karma does not forget about past actions. Nevertheless, you can’t focus on it. You can’t make your entire world revolve around your revenge. Find something to live for, find something else that motivates you to become stronger. Then, use that motivation to gain strength."

Star Forge added with a smile. "Eventually, you’ll notice how weak your enemies are. You’ll notice that they can be easily erased with a wave of your hand, and then, you will be able to do it. What can they do when they meet unstoppable strength?" Star Forge raised her hand and pointed to the sky.

Once she did so, the World’s Energy seemed to bend to Star Forge’s will, and a gargantuan star manifested in the sky, dwarfing all mountains around. Luan Feixue’s eyes widened, and she felt infinitely small.

"Once you have this strength, who can dictate your actions? A tyrant, a hero, an avenger, a villain, an emperor, or the lord of the sky. With enough strength, you can achieve everything."

With a wave of her hand, the star disappeared as if it were an illusion. Yasenia looked solemnly at Star Forge. ’Even after I refine my strength, I will be weaker than this woman.’

She still couldn’t evaluate what level she’d need to reach to be on par with her. For now, she was just strong enough to escape her pursuer. Moreover, that was not a guarantee as well. In order to escape, she would need to use one of her most powerful life-saving treasures.

Luan Feixue was sent into her modest home and walked in a daze, sitting on her bed with a thoughtful expression. Yasenia didn’t talk to her. It was clear that Feixue was rearranging her thoughts, and that was good. Soon, she fell asleep, making Yasenia smile.

Still, the second Feixue fell asleep, Yasenia’s smile stiffened as a presence appeared in the room.

"Get out."

The dragoness looked over and saw Star Forge leaning on the doorframe with crossed arms and an indifferent expression. Yasenia chuckled wryly. ’Was I really discovered this easily? Why... Heh. It is clear that my little help during the Heart Trial was caught by her.’

"... If you don’t come out willingly, I’ll rip you out of Feixue. I won’t allow any parasites to fester inside my disciple."

Yasenia sighed and manifested outside.

Star Forge suddenly saw a dragon woman appearing in the middle of the room, illuminated by the moonlight, and her thoughts stilled for a second. The woman wore a gorgeous white wedding dress that accentuated the pureness and sanctity of her beauty. With straight eyebrows, long and thick eyelashes, and golden irises, a single glance could steal souls. Especially in the middle of the night, that pair of golden glowing orbs seemed to gather the presence of the world around them.

Yasenia’s seductive lips arched faintly as she spoke. "Was my interference in her test a bit too much? I never expected to be discovered this early."

A voice mellow and rich, like a charming melody that softened the bones. Star Forge Lady never expected such a beauty to be the being hiding inside Luan Feixue. After being charmed for a few moments, she reacted and regained calmness. The dragoness was faintly surprised. ’Oh? She is probably the person who reacted the fastest to the full burn of my beauty.’

That’s right, at this moment, Yasenia was not holding back anything about her beauty, letting it run wild. Even then, Star Forge Lady was just dazed for a few moments before snapping back. After glancing at the dragon’s tail and wings gently swaying behind the tall and curvy woman, Star Forge spoke. "Who are you? I’ve never heard of an immortal like you. And don’t tell me about me not knowing every immortal. While that might be true, a Dragon with your appearance would cause a stir throughout Heaven and Earth with just a single appearance."

Yasenia smiled, and her eyes squinted lightly. ’Clever woman.’

"My name is Yasenia Dravory—Progenitor Queen of all Empyrean Cosmos Dragons. Nice to meet you, Star Forge Lady."

Star Forge’s eyes flickered. "A Dragon Queen... No, your aura is much more profound than those creatures. You are... An Immortal Dragon Queen."

Immortal referred to Yasenia’s bloodline level. Such a distinction made Yasenia internally surprised. A human being able to distinguish her bloodline level with a single glance was a first. She always thought that humans were unable to determine bloodline levels at a glance.

Knowing that Star Forge was far from being an easy person to deal with, she decided to use honesty. Trying to lie and manipulate Star Forge was just too dangerous. So, Yasenia walked forward and stopped at a proper distance between mortals.

Even when she approached, Star Forge remained utterly unfazed, showing unparalleled confidence in her ability to deal with Yasenia.

"I have no evil intentions. As you’ve probably noticed, I have an Equal Relation contract with Luan Feixue. In exchange for allowing me to hide in her Beast Pocket, I promised her that I’ll help her with cultivation. Once I become harmonized with the World, I plan to leave and search for ways to return to my original Heavenly Layer."

Star Forge looked into Yasenia’s gorgeous golden slit eyes silently. This exchange of looks lasted for a few seconds, but neither party became nervous or tense. "You tell the truth. No half-truths as well. Just the truth."

Yasenia smiled charmingly. "Star Forge Lady is not someone I can hope to best. I would rather show my sincerity and hope that I haven’t misread your character. In case things go south, I have my ways of escaping with Feixue."

"Oh?" Star Forge smiled coldly. "You think you can escape from my grasp if I am determined to kill you?"

"I do." The dragoness answered nonchalantly. "You can’t stop me if I seriously want to flee."

Star Forge stopped leaning on the doorframe and stepped forward, coming close enough that she needed to raise her head to look into Yasenia’s eyes. "That’s a challenge I am willing to accept."

Yasenia’s lips arched as she lowered her own head, whispering softly. "But I won’t~. Too tiresome for someone like me~. I just want to relax and live peacefully for a while."

Star Forge glanced sideways at the perfect profile of the dragon woman and stated. "Your charm does not affect me."

"Lies." Yasenia chuckled. "You can block it, but that means that there is something to block. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have guarded your heart and soul with a layer of soul energy~."

For the first time, Star Forge’s eyes widened slightly. "You... How could you tell I am using Soul Energy?"

The dragoness raised her finger and used one of her Soul Cultivation Path skills, creating a small copy of herself that waved at Star Forge. The woman was speechless when the tiny and adorable Yasenia, created through pure Soul Energy, waved adorably at her. ’... This seductress does know how to tempt one’s heart.’

Yasenia took a step back and smiled sincerely. "Let me stay on your peak. In return, I can help you with acupuncture and cook for you and your disciples~."

Star Forge was surprised. "You are a Spirit Cook?"

The dragoness waved her hand, summoning one of her delicious brownies. It was baked in bite-sized pieces, making it easy to pick up and eat. "Want one?"

A tantalizing scent reached Star Forge, making even she, who had separated from worldly emotions a good chunk, swallow once. Curious, she took it and threw it into her mouth. When she bit down, sweet and melted chocolate filled her mouth, making all her flavor receptors sing in delight. Star Forge’s serious facial expression almost collapsed. ’S-So delicious...’

Instantly, she remembered that she was in a standoff, and she quickly looked at Yasenia. Seeing the teasing expression, Star Forge almost groaned with annoyance. She munched slowly and swallowed. Then, with a sigh, she spoke seriously. "As long as you don’t mess around, I don’t mind. However, the second I feel that you have bad intentions, I’ll deal with you. Promise me that you have no ill intentions toward the sect, and I’ll let you be."

The dragoness frowned. She really didn’t like making promises because she refused to break any promises that she made. Still, after thinking about the pros and cons, she complied. "I promise that, as long as I don’t feel threatened by the Star Immortal Sect or any of its disciples and elders, I won’t become hostile or scheme against the sect."

"Good enough." Star Forge turned around and disappeared. Before she disappeared, she left behind one last sentence. "I’ve left one communication jade talisman for you. If you ever need something, speak to me. I’ll also ask you for things from time to time through it."

Yasenia picked the Communication Talisman and sighed. ’Thankfully, Star Forge is quite reasonable. I thought I’d need to be on the run."
