Comprehending, Permission
"There, there," Heian Ciemnosc patted Fera's dainty, beautiful back as she let go of his back. Fera's teary face pouted, but she held strong and accepted her Big Brother leaving. Heian Ciemnosc looked at her with ease. He didn't have to worry about anything. He and Elena trained her to be the proudest of saints. Not even rocks and air would dare touch the soles of her feet strangely nor caress her clothes a millisecond extra. Heian Ciemnosc pulled her cheeks and smooched her little eyebrows.
"I'm gonna go now," he said with a little smile. The million-some sect disciples behind Fera, as Heian Ciemnosc's back faced the vessel he would leave in, were awestruck with his devilish charm. Fera looked at her Big Brother and knew he was waiting for her to send him off, so she sweetly spoke under her breath. "Okay then. Be careful, and greet me the other Big Sister I haven't seen yet. Don't forget to mention me!"
“Mn, take care, little princess,” Heian Ciemnosc said as he picked a couple of smallish strands of her hair and put them back on top of her head where they belonged. He then hugged her a little more before letting go, turned around, and walked into the vessel. Fera’s little tears started pouring out her lacrimals as she watched her strong, absurdly powerful, resilient, crafty Big Brother’s back disappear from her naked eyesight. When she tried to follow him with her Spirit Sense, she found it was impossible to go through the vessel’s walls with her current cultivation base. Her eyes regained the determination only she could have.
… Heian Ciemnosc was bid farewell in a lavish manner. Although the Obscure Orb Sect didn’t use grand ceremonies or make dragon-looking Fauna fly around, they allowed millions of sect disciples to assist the parting party. Even without the Sect preparing something, their disciples temporarily put up several beautiful decorations that could liven up the atmosphere. It was the least they could do for such a pervertedly mighty figure who could only grow stronger in the future.
Beep, boop. Just as Heian Ciemnosc was walking towards his bedroom to cultivate and wait for the vessel to reach its destination, he felt his Universal Conveyance called upon, to which he took it out with a little, knowing smile on his pale red lips. Opening it, he looked at the caller on a digital screen and casually asked, “Fera, what a surprise. Did you need something?”
“Big Brother!” Fera replied spoiledly. She beat the ground with her feet a little before adopting her adorable young sister’s face and sweetly talked to the Big Bro. “Aaah~, how I’ve missed you. Hi, Big Sis Elena, Sister Arla. Big Brother, tell me a story, any. Do you have more from your natal Kingdom? Those were really good, and some were not even anywhere in the world after I asked my Masters to find them, so useless~. Tell me~!”
Elena and Arla were embracing each of Heian Ciemnosc’s arms. When they were greeted by the dramatic little baby of a growing young woman. They squinted their eyes. Arla smiled at her while Elena shook her head. Fera’s cheeks reddened slightly, and she lowered her head, but she didn’t shy away and shamelessly asked her Big Brother. Heian Ciemnosc smiled before picking another of the thousands of stories he had read in different libraries in the Sinvonnia Kingdom from yore.
Beginning telling her about one, the young women to his sides also started listening from their walk through corridors with their heads on his shoulders until they laid on the same bed, with their bare bodies not bothering an already traumatized, poor little Fera. After telling the 20th story, Fera became sleepy and wanted to rest after suffering mental damage from her Big Brother leaving. Thus, she ended the call with a drowsy voice and cute face, leaving Heian Ciemnosc with a pair of motherly instinct-triggered beauties looking at him as if he had just become the #1 father in the world. Of course, he knew they were just silently praising him.
Falling asleep in a way that others would die to simply contend for, Heian Ciemnosc started cultivating together with Elena and Arla using his All-Devouring Force Chronicles. There will be a few days’ worth of time before reaching the Golden Terra Sect’s Supreme Kingdom, so there would be enough time to dual cultivate. No need to hurry himself and them to it. Besides, he could enjoy Arla’s intimacy without including raw sexual activity some more.
Time passed quickly. These few days, Heian Ciemnosc didn’t come out. The vessel wasn’t even half as gigantic as the transporting ships the Wrath Nihility Academy used during the wars. But they were fast and had ample defensive protection and even a shield. In short, the Obscure Orb Sect was returning the little black monster to his den in a lavish way. Although it wasn’t the most costly vessel the Obscure Orb Sect had or could rent, it was the one with the fastest and best defense at the same time.
Over time, as Heian Ciemnosc dual cultivated and cultivated together with the pair of young women, and as he also individually cultivated a little, he broke into the 3rd stage without any qualms. Ever since he became a Second Step cultivator, his beyond-perfect stabilization and solidification had returned. Heian Ciemnosc still needed to work his path to continue solidifying his foundation and stabilizing his cultivation base after a breakthrough, but he wasn’t like before, where he broke through an entire realm at once.
In fact, he even wondered that if he did the same thing, would he be as affected as the first time it happened, or less… However, that wasn’t something he wanted to try for the time being, nor had any way to achieve it, at least not without his Master.
After breaking through, Heian Ciemnosc had 2 days left to stabilize his cultivation base, which he mostly spent with Arla taking the lead. And a few hours before arriving at the Golden Terra Sect’s Supreme Kingdom, Elena and Arla did their best to make a hell out of his poor, pale, slightly muscular, and manly body. Of course, now, even Arla was effortlessly put down, sideways, doggy, upside down, and twisted by Heian Ciemnosc’s might, let alone Elena, who had just broken into the 3rd stage, like him.
Arla was still a shy cry from the 9th stage but didn’t hurry. Her foundation and stabilization weren’t on par with the COs. so she had to use whatever time was needed to abuse Heian Ciemnosc’s body so she could gain great things from it. Thus, when they finally landed in the Golden Terra Sect, Arla became determined and steeled her heart to look for Heian Ciemnosc’s penis no more and focused her mindset on learning the Bellink Supreme Art.
Heian Ciemnosc walked to the meeting room where all the other COs and Champion would be with Elena and Arla under his arms. No matter how determined Arla was, her nature was her nature, and Heian Ciemnosc was goddamn irresistible for gals like her. Thus, when Heian Ciemnosc entered the meeting room, the pale beauty and charming young woman painted a tremendous scenery with a pale young man, that was him, in the middle.
“Heian Ciemnosc!” - “Welcome… you are pretty late.” - “Greetings again!”
Heian Ciemnosc received about a dozen greetings. One of them was Yun Tang, who shouldn’t be here but stood beside a sitting Bai Yue’er, who was unperturbed by his arrival and the greetings. Heian Ciemnosc noticed everyone was sitting in circular praying mats while Grand Elder Bai Yue’er was sitting cross-legged on a little step above the floor.
Coming here. The Golden Terra Sect’s territory wasn’t lavish, but there were a lot of different golden colors everywhere, from buildings to the ground itself. Everything could be golden, except it was no gold. Although they were using a basic material hundreds of times more valuable than gold in civilians’ terms, that was a material they couldn’t buy even if a Kingdom’s whole civilians reunited their money in one place to pay for it.
On the other hand, gold was easily tradeable among civilians, from big business to everyday livelihood. In this way, despite having the ability, the Golden Terra Sect was like a monk among many merchants, comparing this organization to the rest of the Existence. The Academy also didn’t use any resources a civilian would in their daily lives, but that might change after becoming an overlording organization.
“Mn, hello to all of you.” Heian Ciemnosc nodded and walked towards an empty spot. The praying mats were all occupied with him, Elena and Arla arriving. Everyone didn’t comment any further and entered meditation. After 3 minutes, Bai Yue’er opened her eyes and looked at the kids. Just as she opened them, from the sides, where large, vacant places of the meeting room remained quiet, another 3 figures appeared from nowhere.
They revealed themselves after a dusty cloud of obscure violet separated from their bodies. One of them was from the Obscure Orb Sect, while the others were from the Phosphorescent Flower Sect and the Interchanging Dust Dynasty. After Heian Ciemnosc and the rest noticed them and looked at them respectfully, Bai Yue’er’s voice rang out. “Hmph. Those old fools didn’t even come here themselves. You should all have chosen my Sect’s Supreme Art, see?”

“...” Heian Ciemnosc tilted his head to the right. He could understand somewhat. Grand Elder Jolden and the Obscure Orb Sect’s Sect Master should be going all-out to turn Tene and Fera into a pair of tremendous powerhouses in the future. The Phosphorescent Flower Sect wasn’t backing down with Yun Nitu. They were grooming the new Sect’s Sect Master that might lead them to the next Step!
As for the Interchanging Dust Dynasty, all Heian Ciemnosc could think of was Kilah and their worry for the girl’s future after losing her body and becoming a Semi-Soul. Heian Ciemnosc now knew that such recuperation was impossible. However, Kilah’s Soul was purposely left intact since Heavenly Protector Diego didn’t mention anything about not harming her any further, so their contracts could still be valid. Thus, he didn’t even touch her Soul. Kilah was a Semi-Semi-Soul of sorts…
Heian Ciemnosc didn’t know the existent methods to recuperate someone’s body in this state. But hearing Diego's words the other day and the show of extreme importance Kilah had in the Dynasty told Heian Ciemnosc they wouldn’t hesitate to use any. Even then, all he could think of a reason why Diego wasn’t here was because he was either chosen to take care of Kilah during the process or because she might have asked for him after he saved her little life from dying in the unknown. Heian Ciemnosc couldn’t tell what it felt like to become a Semi-Semi-Soul, but he could only believe in the response anyone would have at being saved from it.
“Now, we will commence. Those who will learn my Supreme Art, stay here. The rest follow ‘the’ representative you chose back then. Sahnyr, you stay here and take my instructions first. After a month, the Phosphorescent Flower Sect’s ‘representative’ will have their turn teaching you.” Bai Yue’er commanded. The other 3 figures were even slightly trembling at her words and critics, let alone say anything or put on any face.
“Yes… Teacher.” Sahnyr bowed her head after a couple of seconds, thinking about how to address Bai Yue’er. She wore a white blouson dress with a giant flower attached to her waist on the left. If Biston could see her now, he would immediately marry her then and there. Bai Yue’er grinned at Sahnyr’s form of addressing her and lightheartedly commented, “There’s no need to call me that, girl. I am just a benefactor at best-”
“No, Teacher,” Sahnyr kept her head bowing but shook it as she showed a little frown. She continued, “In my Academy, anyone instructing a student is a Teacher. Even when the Headmaster isn’t my Master or taking care of me, he is also my Teacher. Even though I am still learning from the Headmaster, but I have too little time with you. I wish to call you that, even if it’s just for a little time…”
“... Sigh, you Wrath Nihility Academy folk are something.” Bai Yue’er slowly facepalmed her forehead with her right hand. But then, she gently smiled and spoke in an utterly soft voice. “Alright, you and anyone else here may call me Teacher, but only me. If I find out any of you dared call any of these punks the same as me, I will not let anyone go. One’s error is everyone’s sin.”
“Now, I present you my new, first and only disciple. Present yourself,” Bai Yue’er’s sudden words didn’t bother Heian Ciemnosc and the rest. After seeing their steel-like reactions, she nodded and looked towards Yun Tang. Her voice was gentle, but her intention was adamant. Yun Tang bowed, bending his body, and faced the others. “After marrying a fabulous woman from the Golden Terra Sect, our Sects became family. After consideration, I was able to take Master as my additional parent for life!”
Yun Tang spoke proudly as if this was the best in the world. Bai Yue’er rolled her eyes, but it could be seen how satisfied she was with her disciple. Yun Tang noticed Heian Ciemnosc’s tilted head to the right, and a light bulb lit up inside the former’s head. ‘Let’s see if this helps…’
“See, Heian Ciemnosc?” Yun Tang’s words suddenly garnered everyone’s attention. However, no one thought he was making trouble. Sure enough, Yun Tang’s words left them startled from the beginning. “If you had chosen the marriage option back then, you would have become dear to every top 4 overlord organization in the Existence and have their knowledge and Supreme Arts for yourself! Tell me, don’t you feel tempted n- ouww!”
“You little cheeky… how dare you when… See if your wife will hear about you trying to tempt others… You deserve punishment!...” Bai Yue’er came on time and slapped her disciple’s head from the top, leaving him dizzy. Before he could recuperate, more hard hands landed on his shoulders and backhands, teaching him how to behave since it seemed he lacked many manners. Gosh! What kind of grown-up does that?
“...” Meanwhile, on his spot, with two young women’s chins on his shoulders, Heian Ciemnosc tilted his head to the left, his eyes looking up in contemplation. Arla looked intrigued as if she would do that, but all she needed in her little life was her Frank. Elena didn’t even bat an eye and rested her eyes while giving a piercing massage on her husband’s shoulder. However, when Yun Tang mentioned the matter of Supreme Arts and knowledge from 3 Fourth Step organizations and a Third Step organization at the peak, her eyes blazed while gazing at Heian Ciemnosc’s right profile face.
“Enough.” Bai Yue’er looked at the 3 figures and at Heian Ciemnosc and the rest before standing up. Golden light formed a perimeter around her as she levitated to stand up. “Now, you might go. Those with me, bring your praying mats to the front. You will learn alongside my disciple. What is the rest of you waiting for? Don’t waste time.”
“Thank you, Grand Elder.” - “Yes, Grand Elder.” - “Bye bye, Grand Elder. You know that if I could, I would have also chosen yours~.” The COs left to their respective people, although the Interchanging Dust Dynasty only took 2 people away. From which Gloria was one of them. She was also the one who spoke with liberty towards Bai Yue’er, sounding greedy and playful. However, the Grand Elder simply shook her head gently and gave a ‘glare’ to the young woman, no longer a young girl.
“... Well. If any of you has any question, it’s time to ask them now. From then on, I won’t stop to explain again. I would consider it if I had to teach civilians how to cultivate, but you are Second Step cultivators! If you can’t listen to everything perfectly once, you should end your path and live in shame!!” After everyone left, leaving Bai Yue’er’s temporary ‘pupils’ in the meditation room, now a learning room, Bai Yue’er confronted these baby cultivators without mercy.
“None.” - “No, Grand Elder.” In the learning room, besides Heian Ciemnosc, Sahnyr, Elena, and Arla, there were Sakura and Violet. Heian Ciemnosc imagined Fera would receive learning from the Phosphorescent Sect Supreme Art after she learned the Milblades Storm Sect and much more stuff, which was more compared to Sahnyr learning 2 Supreme Arts in 2 months. But Sahnyr’s voice sounded like asking a question. “Grand Elder, will we learn the Supreme Art first and then how to employ it, or will we learn only its properties?”
“Everything, child. Those who dare to play with fate are doomed to repeat, to foolishly guide, or to fear. Whether it is the past, present, or future, even in the time that time was among us, it could never be seen. It won’t be different now, nor will it ever be. You will learn whatever you can. Usually, we go for strict and intense studies and tests to select new Core Disciples or Acting Elders. However, you are the best of this Existence and even brought attention to yourselves from the Fifth Step organization preceding it.”
“We can’t afford to waste our time teaching incapable people, and much less to those who aren’t worthy.” Bai Yue’er momentarily stopped. She looked at everyone around her, her gaze penetrating into their inner beings, before continuing. “You’ve proven your worth through the Change Merit Trials event. But you will learn what you can during these 31 days. I won’t stop for even a second and will instruct you every step of the way. However, to teach a Supreme Art isn’t that lengthy. I might be repeating myself 3 to 5 times. So listen to each of them perfectly.”
“Yes, Grand Elder!” The bunch of little idiots shouted, including Elena, Arla, and Heian Ciemnosc, as Arla wore a determined expression. As if in an apocalyptic world and decided she would win the bread for her sick family. After also shouting, Heian Ciemnosc grinned, seeing Arla’s devoted expression. Sneakily holding onto Elena’s left hand with his right hand, starting with some poking fingers, they intertwined as Bai Yue’er commenced.”
“This Supreme Art is quite mysterious. Over the world, it is known as one of the fewest Arts in the entire world, with Darkness and Light elements working at the same. They do not interact at the same time, and affinity with them isn’t necessary. But their effects, and what they cause, is what the Bellink Supreme Art looks for. The Light element initiates a growth in splendor, glow, and beauty. The Darkness element shuffles through it, turning the light into sudden shadow tides and seas of pure blackness. But both create an ultimate result and give ‘life’ to something from mere nothing!”
“When the world was created, it was consumed time and again. But one ‘something’... that disappeared. When you effectuate this Bellink Supreme Art for the first time, it is after going through the understanding that the Darkness and Light elements complement each other just as much as the five primary Elements are indispensable for every Kingdom. And the world’s biggest terror when Disasters occur.”
“Yet, when we talk about the initiation of the Bellink Supreme Art. That is, after understanding this about the Light and Darkness elements… We find ourselves in a precarious situation. To gain some… ‘vouch’ to utilize it is the most important thing. Failing to do so results in losing at least 1 realm of cultivation at the very best and extinction at worst. Only those who are not worthy enough for a multitude of reasons are… punished. But it has been a long time since we erroneously chose a disciple or Acting Elder the chance to prove us wrong. Much less after it was stolen.”
“It is in our hands after all this time because it cannot be stolen, even if one is worthy… This is one of its greatest mysteries…” Bai Yue’er smiled ruefully and proudly at the same time, as if her organization, her home, carried a treasure of the world and curse at the same time. “However, once you have received this honor, the Bellink Supreme Art becomes your mantle, your throne, a perfect meditation room, and… your guide.”
…
