Heaven, Earth, Me-Chapter 855: Thoughtful Conversation.

After Kali allowed them to think about it, she resumed speaking with a clear and relaxed tone. "Let's be clear with this, Andrea: Yasenia is not even close to being at the same level of strength as in the past. And this I don't mean it in general, but I mean it compared to same level people."

Kali said. "Usually, as cultivators increase in realms and levels, their ability to fight above their level decreases. After all, the strength difference between realms gets increasingly larger, so most advantages you might've had in the past get slowly reduced by the increasing overall strength of everyone that manages to reach your level of strength."

Kali added. "That's not all; she is growing at an absurd pace. And as she controls her Celestial Energy better and perfects her own fighting style and those absurdly powerful intents, Yasenia is taking large strides to become unreachable. Her strength, skills, and overall combat power have entered a strange stage where, as she gets stronger, each step is as large as those far above her realm. So, while her ability to fight those above her level might get slightly compromised as she increases her cultivation realm, she can compensate with many of her treasures."

Andrea agreed. "Well, it is the truth that she is changing and taking great strides to become even stronger. It feels like everything before now was just Yasenia's preparation to take a leap regarding strength. Not to mention, as you said, she still has to find a battle companion and appropriate natural treasures."

Angel blinked and asked. "But it is not guaranteed that she finds them, right?"

Evelyn nodded. "While it is the truth that Natural Treasures, especially those of her elements, are terribly difficult to find, she already has the Celestial Pearl, which is a very similar item. Moreover, that Celestial Pearl feels like it is semi-dormant, and when it becomes completely active, something deeper will change."

Cecile agreed. "The Celestial Pearl allowed Yasenia to experience Celestial Energy even before she had it. If you think about it, that kind of effect is terrifyingly powerful. What that thing can do in the future is a mystery, but it can't be simple."

Evelyn suddenly exclaimed. "Aha! I know where you are going with this. We've been looking at it incorrectly all this time."

Kali looked at Evelyn and moved her chin, telling her to speak.

"You mean that we should grow as a group, not individually. While becoming stronger individually is the basis for everything, and we should never disregard it, we should focus on coordinated strength between us so that even if Yasenia becomes much stronger than us, she can still see us as equals when we work together." Evelyn added. "The only thing that we must not do is drag her down, so this is an effective method to make Yasenia depend on us and find that we are not lagging behind."

Andrea found it agreeable and spoke. "Moreover, Yasenia's cultivation speed will probably not surpass ours because she needs much more energy for each of her realms. Then, adding the Dual Cultivation Technique that benefits us tremendously, we are able to at least keep up in the cultivation realm."

Kali nodded. "I don't believe Yasenia won't slowly increase the gap between us. However, we can prepare and avoid her ultimately getting ahead of us if we put in the effort as a group. Also, once we find a Natural Treasure for Cecile and an Inheritance for Andrea, we will all be set up for a while."

Evelyn looked at Kali and asked. "Speaking of Natural Treasures, how is your weather thingy doing?"

Kali giggled. "Weather thingy? Hahaha." She answered with a smile on her lips. "Well, it has perfectly fused and is a bit stronger now. I might even be able to somewhat use it in battle. Still, I'm using it for my garden most of the time. It is much easier to recreate certain special weather conditions to grow some special Spiritual Herbs. For example…"

The fox woman looked outside through the terrace, and her energy swirled inside her. The profound presence of a Dantian Spiritualization Realm expert filled the room for a few instants, and then it stopped.

Angel blinked and asked cutely while still hugging Kali's fox tail. "What did you do, Kali?"

Kali pointed outside and smirked. "Look."

Suddenly, the sound of a water droplet hitting the ground reached their ears, and the sound slowly increased in frequency.

Angel said, surprised. "Rain!"

And as soon as she exclaimed, a light rain began falling right outside the house. However, as they looked toward a window that faced the other side, they could still see the sunny weather, making it clear that it was Kali's doing.

Evelyn asked, interested. "So, which kinds of weather can you recreate?"

Kali pondered. "Well, I've managed to recreate all types of rain—meaning, snow, hail, heavy rain, storms, and any similar event. However, I've been unable to change the temperature much. With the unnatural snow, I can only drop it a few degrees. Yet, I'm unable to create anything like an arid environment or a full-blown blizzard. You know, making anything like warm, cold, or hot weather."

Cecile asked. "Any clue as to how to do that?"

Kali nodded. "It's probably something that will get unlocked once I gather more shards…" Kali smiled wryly. "Well, if I'm ever able to gather them. Who knows where in the immeasurable Cultivation World are the shards of this treasure?"

Evelyn agreed. "You should honestly look for other Natural Treasures; they might even be easier to get. Wood Natural Treasures are extremely rare as well, but the clues of where to get them are much clearer." Evelyn grinned. "You need to find an extreme wood environment and pray to the heavens that you are lucky, hahaha."

Kali rolled her eyes with a good-natured smile. "Silly, really."

Evelyn added with a more serious tone. "But, now that you've gathered another piece of the treasure, you should've expanded the detection range, right? That should help us with that. Also, remember to tell us if you ever feel it. After all, it is something vital for your strength to grow. What's the limit of growth for it right now?"

Kali smiled. "Thank you, Evelyn. I'll do so." Kali then pondered and decided to ask Valeria about it, who had been listening with a smile to the conversation between juniors. If they could, Valeria and Mirrory would rather never interrupt these kinds of talks, allowing their little ones to think and develop slowly.

Valeria's gentle and natural voice spread in the room, giving them a relaxing and caring feeling. "Kali's [Whether Controlling Primal Meteorite] is currently not able to grow by much; low levels of Transcendence are probably its limits."

Cecile nodded and said flatly. "This was a nice talk."

Andrea laughed. "It was. Speaking of which, how is Yasenia feeling, Cecile? While Kali and Angel have a faint soul connection with her due to the Blood Essence, she shared with them in the past. Your connection is clearly the deepest."

Angel and Kali didn't deny her words. They never thought of competing in anything like this. While Kali wouldn't admit it openly, she was as happy to have this small connection as Angel was. However, because of the method she used, she never really expressed this joy outward so as not to give her dearest dragoness the wrong idea.

Cecile answered. "She is calm and focused. I can't sense a single thread of nervousness coming from her."

Andrea blinked, confused. "Really? You feel nothing? She was quite worried for a while, right?"

Cecile pondered. "From what I know, it is probably because she is already in the mindset of challenging it. When Yasenia faces her problems, instead of getting more nervous, her mind and soul calm down and become extremely analytic. It is the opposite reaction, and the more danger she is in, the more her mind sharpens."

Andrea realized. "That's quite true. I've seen her panic very few times, and at those times, we were involved one way or another." Andrea smiled a bit complicatedly. "We are really her weakness."

Cecile shook her head. "Don't say it like that. We are her important people. Similar to how she is our most important person. Aren't we all fidgety and trying to distract ourselves from her oncoming tribulation?"

The girls paused and smiled. Evelyn threw her body to the side, landing on the comfortable couch and placing her legs on Angel's lap. "This is what being in a family is like, I guess. I rather like this than having an infallible lover who is perfect all around. If Yasenia didn't have faults, it would feel…How to say it…?"

Kali smiled. "Unnatural?"

Evelyn nodded hesitantly and added. "Not only unnatural, it would feel… Impossible? Like, I can understand a person being really good at many things, but I think that everyone must have something they are weak at, right? So, instead of feeling reassured, it appears as if she is hiding something, making it uncanny."

"Agreed." Andrea nodded. "But I don't mind as much. Perhaps I just have trust that she will tell us, as she has done until now."

With such conversations, time went by, and they started placing into practice what they spoke.

Meanwhile, Yasenia was in her cultivation room, surrounded by active formations and with a few pill jars by her side for increased energy circulation and absorption. Everything in the room was peak-level Heaven-Ranked stuff, making her room probably the most expensive place in the entire Distancia Continent.

The reasons for all this effort put in her cultivation room were two. Firstly, Yasenia needed dense energy to absorb so that her [Primordial Energy Core] could transform the energy appropriately.

Secondly, Yasenia's energy reserves were tremendously large, making her cultivation speed appear slower than the other girls when, in truth, it was much faster.

If Yasenia were an average cultivator and she used all the energy she had absorbed to advance, she would've been approaching the middle levels of the Fifth realm.

Yasenia focused on her Solar System Dantian while wondering how the Epoch Core that would form in her body would affect her. After all, when she spiritualized her Dantian, the solar system qualities became much more pronounced. Most of the energy was concentrated in the middle, dominated by the blue Celestial Energy Star with a dark ring of energy filled with starlight. The beauty of the star that appeared was ethereal and otherworldly.

Her average energy was spread thinly throughout the place, and when used, the Celestial Energy Star would spin, guiding energy into her meridians.

Around it, her several core treasures orbited through the bluish-illuminated space, giving off a faint light.
