When they moved over, everyone looked around with curiosity. Yasenia, returning to this vast expanse, felt a sense of nostalgia for a moment. "It has been so long…"
Sui Xing scolded her lightly, flicking her forehead. "It has been too long. Were you planning to let me gain dust or something?"
Yasenia held her forehead and stuck out her tongue cutely, making those looking feel their hearts burn. 'Being seductive and making cute faces is against the rules!'
"Alright, alright. Let's refresh your function as you make the connection with my wives."
Sui Xing nodded and walked towards Andrea first. "Don't resist the energy, Andrea. This will be quite invasive, but remember that I am soulbound treasure to Yasenia. So, unless she wants to, I can't hurt you directly or indirectly."
Those words indeed took away the slight guard Andrea had against Sui Xing. She chuckled, looking at the man who was almost as tall as herself. "Honestly, it is rare to see Yasenia with a man. Most of them either end up being slapped away or buried underground."
Sui Xing chuckled. "If I were not a treasure, I might've ended up the same. Still, you can't blame the natural instincts from taking over. After all, Yasenia not only lacks male friends, but also female friends, doesn't she? The only reason women are around her more is that those around Yasenia are connected by either love or other more profound links."
Andrea paused and then was astonished to realize that it was the truth. Yasenia was surrounded by females because her wives and maids were females.
Yasenia frowned, a bit uneasy. "Hey, why do you make it sound as if I am a loner?"
Sui Xing glanced back with an exasperated look. "Are you not? Even the three friends you made in the Blue Pearl World ended up becoming your maids."
Yasenia's face became awkward. It was true that, because of her beauty, she had trouble making honest friends. The only friend who didn't really see her as a romantic interest until the opportunity was brought up was Star Forge. While Star Forge, like basically everyone, found her attractive, her gaze was never romantic, only admiring.
Of course, after becoming a maid and hearing the particular "right" a maid had, that small barrier was easily broken down.
While Yasenia was wallowing in being "too successful" at wooing people, Andrea felt Sui Xing's energy, or more specifically, the Star Breaker Realm Bead's energy, sink into her, including her Dantian.
If it were anyone else, they would've never allowed such a thing. The Dantian was, after all, a sacred place that not even Dao Companions showed to each other. However, Andrea and the others had absolute faith in Yasenia.
It wasn't blind faith, though. If Yasenia did something wrong, they would naturally step up and correct her. However, when it came to situations where they needed to leave their safety in her hands, all of them would open their chests and allow Yasenia to hold their hearts if it were necessary.
After all, their lovely dragoness was the same. She didn't snap when they touched her actual reverse scale. How could they not reciprocate that powerful faith?
Sui Xing explained. "Alright, let me introduce myself a bit more in-depth. I am Sui Xing, the creator and also the spirit of the Star Breaker Realm Bead. This place has 1000 floors, each floor housing a copy of each of you with all your treasures, skills, martial strength, and intents."
The girls were quite surprised; Sui Xing continued. "The objective of the Star Realm Breaker Bead is to train the user to reach an incomparably profound level in both the martial path and the ability to manipulate themselves."
Cecile, upon hearing that, had her icy-blue eyes light up with delight. "Such a good treasure."
Even her usual deadpan tone sounded excited. The rest glanced at the wagging phoenix tails and fluttering wings with amused eyes.
Sui Xing chuckled. "I heard about you from Yasenia. Indeed, you are as excited about this as she expected… Alright. Done. Go stand aside, Andrea."
Andrea nodded, not feeling anything different. Then, Sui Xing moved toward Evelyn and placed his hand on her shoulder. "This place, as explained before, has 1000 levels. Each level has a type of clone, and these clones will become harder in order for you to master certain aspects that allow you to use your skills with much more efficiency. The first type is bronze copies, the next silver copies, the following gold copies, and it goes on."
Cecile looked at Yasenia. "What level have you reached?"
Yasenia shook her head. "I've gained too many treasures and broken through too much to start from where I left off. If I had been training constantly within the bead, I could tell you. However, I plan on starting all over once again."
Cecile hummed and nodded.
Meanwhile, Mirrory manifested and looked around with some surprise. "To think that you'd get an item like this one."
Sui Xing, glancing at Mirrory, was surprised and confused. "You… hm? Treasure Spirit?"
Mirrory glanced over, and when their eyes met, Sui Xing felt as if he was looking at a boundless sky. As treasures, Sui Xing could slightly feel the absolutely nonsensical power deep within Mirrory. Yet, even that little surface level made him feel utterly horrified.
"W-What kind of treasure are you?"
Yasenia, hearing Sui Xing stutter uncharacteristically, laughed. Mirrory raised her eyebrow. "Not bad. A treasure needs to be of a certain quality to even feel a little bit of my power. This shows your quality is great. I am Mirrory, still, you might know me as Fu Jing Jing's previous artifact."
"F-F-Fu Jing Jing!?"
Sui Xing, as a soul fragment, might not remember many things. However, Fu Jing Jing's name was as clear as the moon in a cloudless sky. That woman, even before she became a legend after stopping the Heavenly Cataclysm single-handedly and having her name etched as the Truth Saint across all Heaven, was a terrifyingly strong powerhouse who left gods and devils alike trembling at the mere mention of her name.
That name made his gaze toward Angel several notches more severe. 'Ridiculous… How did they even find Lady Fu Jing Jing's weapon in a lower Heaven?'
"Wait… Since you have her artifact… Fu Jing Jing died?"
Yasenia blinked and realized. "Right, since you are a fragment, you might not know about the Heavenly Cataclysm."
Mirrory explained lightly. "Fu Jing Jing fought the Main Heaven when it went berserk and damaged it to a certain extent, bringing it back to normal."
"...Heavens."
Sui Xing didn't even know where to start feeling amazed. Evelyn chuckled. "Sui Xing, your energy has stopped."
"Ah, right. Sorry, child." He quickly recovered his bearings, but his heart was not relaxed at all. A sigh escaped him. "You got quite an extraordinary wife, Yasenia."
Yasenia humphed. "All of them are extraordinary. Otherwise, how could they keep up with my cultivation speed?"
Sui Xing, having analyzed Andrea and now Evelyn, couldn't deny it. When he was done with Evelyn, his eyes toward her were also filled with some amazement. "A god inheritance. Exceptional potential as well… You are really strong."
Evelyn raised her eyebrow. "Thanks."
Sui Xing wanted to move toward Angel, filled with curiosity, but Kali was nearer, so he walked toward her. Kali noticed his glances, and chuckled. "Go to Angel. I don't want you to be distracted."
Sui Xing blinked and coughed in embarrassment. "Sorry, child. I am really curious."
Kali laughed, and Sui Xing moved toward Angel. Angel looked up with her pure, large blue eyes. That level of purity, even after all she had gone through in the past, made Sui Xing's touch become gentle. "Alright, relax. Don't worry… Also, Lady Mirrory, may I ask you not to reject my energy?"
Mirrory's treasure rank was overwhelmingly superior to his. Therefore, if he wanted to replicate Mirrory and her capabilities, she was the one who needed to allow it. Still, since Mirrory knew what type of treasure Sui Xing was, she was not against it in the slightest and cooperated to her best abilities to mimic her abilities as accurately as possible.
She added. "As Angel fights further copies, you will need to increase your treasure rank. Otherwise, Angel won't be able to fight the last few floors because her copies won't have me."
Sui Xing nodded. "Indeed." He looked at Yasenia and smiled. "You heard Lady Mirrory. You need to make me stronger, or I won't be able to keep up."
Yasenia shrugged. "That was the plan. I believe that even for me, you won't be able to keep up."
Sui Xing recalled the gargantuan and powerful Celestial Black Hole Energy Star spinning at the center of Yasenia's dantian, and he smiled wryly. "You are right."
As he analyzed Angel, he was amazed again and again. "Such pure Intents… Your strength and abilities are also incredibly unique… Blood element? That should be a new addition you were not born with, right? It doesn't feel innate but acquired."
Angel answered with a smile. "Yup. You are right."
After he was done, he bowed in respect toward Mirrory once more before moving toward Kali. When he did, Valeria manifested behind her, giving Sui Xing another scare. "What an overwhelmingly pure Nature and Life Energies…"
Valeria chuckled. "I will do the same as Mirrory, so don't worry."
Sui Xing's eyes twitched. He had honestly felt that Andrea, who had two contracted beasts, a dragon knight inheritance, and powerful talents and treasures, was already quite exceptional. Yet, among all those present, Andrea was the most mundane! Not weak, as Andrea's strength was exceptional, but she was a step behind the rest in overall potential.
'Yasenia's wives are all monsters in their own right. What a terrifying family.'
"...Life Origin Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline?"
An absurd bloodline appeared. His eyes moved toward Cecile, and seeing her three phoenix tails and large silvery wings, a guess popped into his head. "...Moon Phoenix?"
Cecile nodded, quite eager to receive the analysis and start fighting her copies. Sui Xing looked at Yasenia with a stunned gaze. "Where did you even find a Moon Phoenix in the lower Heavenly Layers to become soulmates with while having a harem? They are basically one of, if not the most difficult beasts, and also monogamous to become partners with!"
Yasenia shrugged. "What can I say, my lovers are all exceptional."
While she answered lightly, everyone could see her lips arching into an utterly prideful and arrogant expression, as if saying, "My wives are the best in the world, what can you do about it?"
That adorable appearance brought out laughter from those around.
Yasenia sighed in regret. "Sadly, there are only ten spots. Otherwise, I would've loved registering my babies as well."
Sui Xing agreed. "Your children should all be talented. Just your bloodline is strong enough, but if they are supported by your wives… Indeed, it is a shame."
Kali blinked. "But, won't being apart make that link unusable?"
"Not at all." Sui Xing smiled. "If I am not in group mode, I can create a small clone within each of you so that you can access me from anywhere. That's why I need to analyze you so in depth. Of course, you can't advance more than 100 floors after separation, but it is still possible to use me."
Yasenia frowned. "Huh? This is the first time I've heard about it."
Sui Xing thought about it and realized that she was indeed telling the truth. He explained shortly. "Those I register as sub-users in the individual form of the treasure can use me for 100 floors regardless of distance. Moreover, they can challenge the final floor as many times as they want. Only when they approach the main body of the Star Breaker Realm Bead will they update more floors. Of course, if you are always close, such a thing is done automatically."
Yasenia and the others were impressed. Sui Xing chuckled, "I thought you knew because of Tatyana."
Everyone looked at the red-eyed woman, and she smiled. "Right, I forgot. I've been using Sui Xing with my main body for a while, even after you left."
Yasenia's lips twitched, feeling an urge to spank her until her butt was as red as her eyes.
