After a couple of minutes Kana started to show some signs of breaking through, just like previously, wind started gathering around her as more spirit energy floated towards her body.


    The mix of green wind, the red particles of spirit energy and the dim purple light that was covering her body, created a pretty spectacle of light in the right side of the backyard.


    Even Cam was taking her time to absorb spirit energy, because she wanted to see Kana breaking through, an Earth Origin who could use its attribute was never saw before after all.


    Once the little purple marble waspletely absorbed by her, the wind and the spirit energy which surrounded her was suddenly drawn at the area below her navel, making Sarina smile.


    "She did it".


    Aster walked towards Kana and patted her head, now that she formed her star core, she needed to consolidate it, her base was solid enough to not suffer a lose in battle prowess, but if she took some time to fully integrate the remaining excess of yin energy left behind by the little marble, she''ll have an easy time reaching the middle stage, so Aster told her to do it.


    "Mm", Kana softly nodded, if Aster suggested it, then she was sure it was something good for her.


    "Mom did you find a secluded ce in this?", he asked while he kept stroking Kana''s smooth hair.


    While Cam was preparing for her advance, Lilia was looking for an open space for her to break through without affecting anyone.


    "I did, it''s a faraway mountain, I didn''t find any sign of anyone approaching and there aren''t spirit beasts near also, so it''s perfect darling".


    Cam had already absorbed enough spirit energy and had about two or three centimeters left of the ball of metal mixed with Aster''s blood remaining, to refine, so it was time for them to leave.


    Lilia waved her hand and besides Sarina who stayed to watch on Kana, the others disappeared.


    At the neighboring pce, Felicia and Tiana suddenly noticed the change in the sky dissipating and they frowned.


    "Did she fail her advance?", asked Tiana to her mother.


    Felicia thought about it for a second before Lilia''s image appeared in her mind.


    "No, Aster''s mother is probable a Void Maniption cultivator, and if that''s the case, they should have gone to a ce where that woman can advance without affecting anyone, I guess we''ll have to wait for tomorrow to see the result…".


    Felicia couldn''t finish her sentence when not only they, but the whole people at the different ces of the, suddenly turned to see the sky, the iconic red tone changed to a silverish color making everyone think there was a heavenly treasure being born or something along the lines.


    And they weren''t exactly wrong, a few seconds ago:


    Lilia brought everyone but Sarina and Kana to a faraway ce in the Red Heart, thendscape was a barrennd crowned by a mountain, even the spirit energy was really thinpared to the ce where the Barbarian Heart sect was located.


    Aster noticed Cam was reaching her breaking point so he and the girls took some distance to not affect her during her tribtion, Eris took the east, Mylene the west, Lilia south and Aster and Aria and Alice floated on the north.


    Like this in case it was needed they could contain the outburst of spirit energy that might appear once she breaks trough.


    Cam floated in the middle of them, with every second that passed the sky got more and more clouded as she approached her tribtion.


    ording to Lilia every tribtion was different, some people smoothly advanced without causing any waves, others were attacked by lightning or other manifestation of the heavenlyw in a physical form, others caused a phenomenon in the sky without suffering any kind of suppression and thest type was a mental tribtion.


    But that wasn''t all, sometimes more than one of those situations happened at the same time, Sarina for example caused a change in the sky of the and was also mentally attacked, and judging by Cam''s frowned expression that seemed to be her case too.


    ''Where am I?'', thought Cam as she looked at the gray vastness that surrounded her.


    "Mm?", she looked downwards after noticing her foot was stepping onto an irregr surface, her pupils then contracted like needles as she saw a dismembered arm and other pieces of bones and flesh.


    Only then she noticed there was a bunch of dead bodiesying around the whole ce, the ground waspletely stained in blood, while she still felt ufortable it wasn''t enough to frighten her, this ce was basically a battlefield.


    Just as she was about to try and convince herself this was just an illusion, the lights dimmed even more which made her turn to see the sky.


    "Is that… a hand?", she mumbled, the figure of an ink ck hand with spiky nails, which covered the sky falling downwards was the only thing she could see, then an incredible pressure fell making her feel as if she was suffocating, the seconds seemed to be like hours and with each one her vision blurred until a gentle pat on her shoulder made her get back to her senses.


    The world regained its color, even the gray vast sky which was ckened due to the imensurable hand which was stilling down, was suddenly illuminated, silver particles of light raised from the ground, thendscape and even the dead bodies and everything gathered in a figure which was now standing in front of her.


    Cam tried to raise her eyes to see who was protecting her, but she couldn''t, the only thing she could do wasy there powerless until all the silver light gathered forming a silver sun, which''s light was sharp but at the same time warm.


    Only then she managed to raise her head a bit just enough to see a smile in the figure which was standing in front of her, she saw its lips moving but couldn''t hear what it said.


    Then a loud explosion made her go deaf, the figure became a shooting star and shed against the ck hand, the skies rumbled and the nearby celestial bodies were instantly turned into dust, everything but the piece of ground where she wasying down, was swept away by the explosion, leaving behind a crack in the space.


    Cam stood up, she felt her heart heavy for some reason, but couldn''t do anything about it, or at least that''s what she thought until she noticed a silver shing out of the space crack, whichnded right next to her.


    A silver spear with some worn out rusty parts, she felt her heart beating faster and then without a second of hesitation grabbed it and pointed the tip at the sky, she felt as if her life was abandoning her body but didn''t let go of it until she saw the space crack mending itself, only then her eyes closed and although she fell agony, there was also a sensation of aplishment filling her heart.


    Then the scene ended and was reced by a giant silver wolf, Cam raised her guard even if she felt that it was futile, but the wolf didn''t move and instead opened its mouth making Cam hear an old voice directly in her mind.


    "Little child, what have you decided, are you willing to fight and strive for glory, or do you wish to live in peace?".


    Cam looked at her reflect in the eyes of the giant wolf, she somehow could see although her eyes were covered by bandages, she was wearing a worn-out white dress and had chains on her neck, arms and legs, there were metal spikes which aimed at her heart and other vital organs surrounding her, only her mouth was free.


    "I will Fight!", her answer echoed through the whole ce, the wolf then became a silver light which entered her body and all the shackles that were binding her exploded.


    Cam opened her eyes in the real world, she looked at the sky which had turned silver and saw the image of a silver wolf howling above her, before a silver pir of spirit energy fell from the sky to baptize her.


    "Watch out!", Aster, Eris, Mylene and Lilia all extended her hands forming a barrier around Cam, but apparently it wasn''t necessary as instead of expanding, the pir condensed until it took the shape of a silver spear with some golden spots here and there.


    Aster raised an eyebrow noticing his blood was integrated in the thing, that shouldn''t be the case as Cam only absorbed the properties of the treasures and not the materials from them, but as he was about to ask her, the spear entered her body and she fell from the sky.


    Lilia waved her hand and Cam''s unconscious bodynded on a soft mass of spirit energy, she was then dragged towards Aster and the others, after making sure she was only sleeping Aster then focused his attention on the surrounding area.


    "Sarina was the same, does every Mortal Transcending leave an area rich with its element after breaking through?", asked Aster as he saw the nowpletely metallic area of about five kilometers.


    Lilia giggled as she "carelessly" threw Cam towards her son, making Aster catch her in a hurry.


    "Mom, what if I didn''t catch her?", said Aster as he carried Cam like a princess.


    Lilia shrugged as she created a crack in the space to take everyone back at the Barbarian Heart sect, the sky had also returned to its normal red tone after the spear disappeared.


    "Not every Mortal Transcending cultivator can do that, only those whose spirit energy reach a certain state can do it… the people of these ster systems doesn''t have the means to, but back at the Drage family''s main, the most outstanding member of each generation is allowed to break through in the family''s sacred ground where those who preceded them did it, thest one was me and I left a sea of ck mes which covered the space of a whole behind, just for when it''s your turn darling~".


    Aster bitterly smiled, knowing his mother she should have done something to prevent anyone but him, to enter that ce unless she allowed it, which was now added to the list of troubles he''ll have to deal with once they get back.


    ''Whatever, it''s not like I was expecting a warm wee anyway'', he thought as they disappeared from the mountain, oblivious to the ruckus that their actions caused in the whole.
