Heaven, Earth, Me

After getting the keys, they explored the underground area and found a few Heaven-ranked items. Some were furniture, others were weapons. Overall, the items were not many, but their quality was better than expected. 

While walking outside, Yasenia was holding the key with interest. "We didn't find any room in the underground zone. Are there any closed doors on the floors of this tower?"

Yasenia's spiritual sense was large enough to engulf the tower completely. However, she wanted to ask for confirmation. Just in case a hidden door she missed existed. 

Violet shook her head. "Nothing that I know of. However, we should check just in case." 

With those words, they all separated and swept the entire building. They took their time, looking here and there for two hours. However, they found nothing.

Cao Chenghua, the Jade Thunderbird Patriarch, was walking on the lowest floor when he saw a bunch of people entering with their swords drawn out. He looked over but ignored them. However, the other side didn't seem to feel like ignoring him back. One of them shouted. "Hey, bird man!"

Cao Chenghua frowned, but remembering that this wasn't Distancia, he restrained his language while answering the rude call. "What do you want, human?"

The man that approached was average-looking, with no outstanding features in either build or appearance. The man commented with a smile. "We saw that your group entered a while ago and stayed here for hours. Did you find anything interesting?"

Cao Chenghua asked back, his face impassive. "And why should I tell you?"

The man clicked his tongue and looked behind him. "You see, my senior brother here has broken through into the Transcendence Realm recently. I can see that you are still a mortal cultivator. How about you are obedient and tell us about it?"

Cao Chenghua looked at the man he pointed at and was confused. 'Didn't they bother checking our strength before doing this little number…?'

Cao Chenghua didn't know that while Transcendence People were not uncommon in this place, almost none came here due to the quality of items not being truly up to par. So, groups with Transcendence Realm cultivators inside the Ruined City were very dominant. Then, due to the size of the city, finding other Transcendence Realm cultivators was even rarer. 

In short, they were overconfident.

"Hm? Cao Chenghua, do you need a little help?"

Hearing the slightly deep and mellow voice coming from the side, the Jade Thunderbird man smiled. He looked over and shook his head. "These people here want to know what we've been doing for so long in this area."

The group of 30 that were standing in front of Cao Chenghua looked over and froze in place. The Senior Brother's eyes shone with greed as he stepped forward. "Hey, woman. I've taken a fancy to you. Do you want to be my companion?"

The people around him clicked their tongues, feeling that it was a bit of a shame. However, since he was the strongest of them, they couldn't really say otherwise. The one that spoke to Chenghua commented. "Hey, big bro, don't be selfish later, hehe."

Yasenia looked at the group with a nostalgic face. "Ah… An arrogant Young Master. Moreover, a Transcendent Realm one! This truly brings back memories! It has been many decades since someone tried this on me."

Cao Chenghua's lips twitched. 'You became the de-facto World Leader, who would dare to say something like this to you!?'

Tatyana walked down and observed everyone's faces. She quickly reached a conclusion. "Oh! A Young Master situation!"

The Transcendent Realm man looked between them with a confused expression. "What Young Master? I am an Elder of the [Falcon Dive Sect]!"

Yasenia nodded. "Right, right… Ayanduin, Gu Chen, come here for a moment."

Both of them appeared by Yasenia's side in an instant. Gu Chen asked. "What's wrong? Having trouble with these bullies?"

Ayanduin looked over and blinked. "Oh? They have a Sixth Realm cultivator."

Gu Chen hummed, somewhat confused. "He feels… weak? Artificial?"

Tatyana smiled. "That's normal. This man has entered the Transcendence Realm by abusing pills and beating the tribulation by pure luck. He is a Transcendent Realm cultivator that's as weak as they can be. He doesn't even have a [Intent Domain] developed. His Intents also feel not much more developed than Yasenia's."

The Transcendent Realm cultivator's face dropped and released his aura. "Enough chit-chatting!"

BOOM!

Of course, even if he was weak among other Transcendent Realm cultivators, he was still an immortal. Yasenia spoke. "Don't block it. I want to test myself."

Ayanduin and Gu Chen paused and only protected Cao Chenghua and Tatyana.

Then, Yasenia felt the aura of the Sixth Realm cultivator drop on her like a mountain. Her face changed as her legs instantly bent ninety degrees, almost slamming her downward. 'Heavy!'

The dragoness released her hidden auras, exploding outward with a dragon roar. 

ROAR!

With all her auras out, Yasenia's presence underwent a complete change. It felt like she had transformed into the ruler of the sky as her legs started to straighten, and she pushed her body up with her tail.

This sight stunned the Transcendent Realm cultivator. Regardless of how strong or weak he was, the difference between mortal and immortal cultivators was like the distance between Heaven and Earth! "You… You dare resist!?"

The man's face twisted, and his aura increased, slamming onto the dragoness with renewed vigor. However, Yasenia arched her lips and took the mountainous pressure head-on, her body eventually straightening. "This… Is… Heavy. But not… insurmountable."

Violet and others were looking from the side, as such a commotion naturally caught everyone's attention. Seeing the dragoness actually face off against the Transcendent Realm cultivator's pressure, the mouths of almost everyone were wide open.

Violet looked at Yaenia deeply and thought. 'Once she becomes a Sixth Realm cultivator, her strength will be…' She didn't even know how to describe it other than: '...Unique.'

Gu Chen smiled and patted Yasenia's shoulder, releasing the pressure around her. "Great job, Yasenia. Now, let's stop here before his pressure actually hurts you."

The dragoness nodded. "Okay." Gu Chen nodded and looked at that man, taking a step forward and appearing right in front of him with his palm on his chest. "Attacking a junior is not something we should do."

BOOM!

The man flew off, colliding against a house outside and cracking the walls that didn't even flinch when that Demon slammed into them in the past.

Gu Chen's wives smiled proudly. "Right! Right! Beat him up, Husband!"

"Tsk, tsk. He dares attack Yasenia. How can we stand around and do nothing? Sisters! Let's beat them up!"

The thirty people who saw their senior being flung suddenly saw a bunch of women rush at them at terrifying speeds. 

Yasenia was about to speak to her own wives when she saw Andrea, Evelyn, Angel, Cecile, and Kali rush into the fray with terrifyingly cold faces. She blinked twice and muttered. "Oh… Let's hope no one dies so that things don't escalate…"

What followed was a brutal pummeling and people flying out the door of the tower one after another, being beaten black and blue.

Violet saw quite a few brutalities being committed by the girls, and her eyebrows twitched. 'What a violent bunch… Are they demonic cultivators in disguise?'

Dandan covered her mouth. "Oh, dear, Little Angel looked so cute. Look at her bash their teeth out with her shield…"

Zhang Dalong coughed and approached Yasneia. "Um. Junior Sister Yasenia, can you tell them to be a bit more… merciful?"

Yasenia hummed. "Okay." Then, she said. "Don't leave permanent scars!"

Zhang Dalong's eyebrows trembled. 'That's being merciful? I must remember never to offend Junior Sister Yasenia.'

After taking a beating, their group was shooed away. Cecile asked, confused. "Why don't we kill them?"

Yasenia smiled. "We are not in a position where we need to hide. If they come back again wanting revenge, then we start killing. However, their offense was a bit too light to make enemies with one of the sects for nothing." Yasenia shook her head. "It seems that the stupidity of people doesn't end after reaching the Transcendent Realm. This somehow made their high and mighty image shatter a little."

Ayanduin remained her. "Don't be too arrogant. Even one of the weakest ones was almost able to put you on your knees with just his aura."

Yasenia smiled. "I know. I was speaking more about that mysticism surrounding the Sixth Realm."

Ayanduin blinked. "Oh! My bad."

"No." Yasenia laughed. "It is a good reminder. Thanks."

After that confrontation, Yasenia's groups continued to explore the city. Guided by Yasenia's treasure-seeking nose, they were able to search the area without problems and earn quite a large loot. 

They spent time in the outer area of the Ruined City for a few months, exploring and traveling together. During this time, the people from the [Thirteen Rose Thorn Sect] integrated with them.

After all these months, Tatyana suddenly commented. "Oh? The big man seems to have finally stabilized…" She frowned. "However, he has become too strong for this body to summon him. If I do so, I might explode from using too much energy."

Violet and her disciples didn't know about Tatyana's real identity. While they had become closer, they were still strangers in a sense. Trusting them with deeper secrets would take a bit more time than that.

Of course, Tatyana threw a few hints here and there. So, as long as they had been attentive, they should've taken a hint that Tatyana was not as simple as she appeared.

Andrea asked after hearing Tatyana. "So, what should we do? He had that treasure on him, right?"

Tatyana nodded. "I am currently communicating with him. It seems that he has some memories from the past. Let's see~." Tatyana closed her eyes for a second and commented. "Okay, he agreed to lead us in exchange for you not taking that treasure from him, Little Treasure."

Yasenia instantly nodded. "As long as we can get Kali's Natural Treasure, I don't mind it."

Tatyana smiled. "That's great. The treasure you smelled is actually his weapon. A scepter that helps with his elemental affinities. He seemed to have an extremely rare quadruple elemental affinity." 

Evelyn smiled. "No wonder you were interested in him. Speaking of which, after becoming your undead, did he retain those affinities?"

Tatyana shook her head. "He has earned Death Energy affinity. However, that scepter is so deeply connected to him that it has changed as well. Now it exudes an aura of death that's honestly quite intimidating." 

Angel pulled her clothes and asked, tilting her head. "So, how do we enter the city?"

Tatyana smiled. "We have the keys; we just need to open the door."

Yasenia blinked and summoned the keys that had been stored in her ring for the last few months. "This one?"

Tatyana nodded. "That one. Of course, opening the city comes with a few drawbacks. So, we need to prepare." She looked at Violet and smiled. "I have a proposal for you."
