Zash was nearly in a trance after that and kept thinking about it all from entire life's prospective. Both on the island and his old world.
He didn't want more wives and was happy to come across a woman who truly appreciate him as who he was, and treated him nicely as he too would do so with her and wanted nothing more than a happy family for himself.
Now along with Sylphia there's Serena too, who are bound to him by contract and are his best friends too along with their personalities being compatible and liking each other's company along the way.
It wasn't a forced relationship between them still felt a bit odd if though, after thinking he gave up and decided in his mind,
"What would thinking even do about it ? It's not like it'll change anything to begin with, it will only make things awkward for everyone. If I can I'll make them both happy and treat them as my family as well. But before that, I have to be more stronger as both of them are Tier 6 and can easily take care of tier 7- 8 Personal if conditions are favourable enough. I can't be the weakest link." After coming to a decision to get stronger to earn his right to be with his women and protect them against the world if such situation arrives.
They both saw Zash snapping out of his trance and saw determination in his eyes which for some reason gave them reassurance.
"So shall we begin ?" Sylphia asked Zash as she wanted to waste no time to start her cultivation classes.
" Oh sure but there's a thing which will be an hard obstacle for you as you'll either have to take your core out or make it in gaseous state before doing so as this technique will be focusing on your affinity to all attributes and nature itself and keep changing as you ascend to fit in accordance to new world requirements and the power we require to progress further." Implied Zash as he knew that her dragon core was half the source of power for dragons without it they are merely 1/2 of powerful.
"Of course I'll guide you to make a stronger one along with Serena here, just that the moment my Quantombots enter your body, it will become quite weak along with excruciating pain from forming and connecting new linkings of meridians and a new never before seen flow of energy in your world as getting used to them might take a while alongside a huge toll on your body"
Said Zash for clarifyicati beforehand, with reassurance as while the risk was there the rewards outweighted the risks involved.
" I'll trust you both" was all Sylphia said before gladly accepting the condition while she knew Serena for Millenia and Zash for a few thousand years she had got to understand that they both are people who are important to her and even if something did go wrong she won't mind as she could spend a few thousand years to reform her core or maybe if she's lucky she could get a new one from the wish box she had. But for the most part she trusted them completely.
After confirmation Zash chose the second option of forming her links himself and system acknowledged it and helped throughout the way.
Soon the process began as Sylphia laid down on a shallow end of the waterbed which left enough room for her to breathe the procedure started she while in her human form shattered her core and became critically ill and pale in appearance enough to be damaged by a tier 3 or weaker being. But it was just the beginning.
As after Zash produced a few quintillion Quantombots which entered her body and started creating pathway and connection them with pores and circuits around the body,
her being a tier 6 didn't help as her body's self repair was constantly healing the damage done along with the spring's healing her which was an unforseen circumstances for Zash fortunately Sylphia did her best to block this from happening and continued taking on the pain for a few more days after 15 long days of terrifying pain and torment finally,
Zash and the system made her a brand new set of meridians and Zash finally understood how powerful dragon's were as normal human links won't work on them being too weak for a effect as newfound meridian network was the only other way around for maximum benefits and along the while they could feel the extreme pain she might be going through but sylphia still held on.
After her meridians were finally stable and she could feel something aside from pain which was 100× worse than what she could ever imagine possible with her own healing properties being her own enemy. She could feel Zash and Serena supply her with constant but thin essence which soothed the pain which she had felt for more than 2 weeks and could feel the essence healing her itself with warmth which was a plus as a dragon getting healing properties after tier 6 was natural but not now as she had crushed her dragon's core and was far weak than a tier 3 physically at least as a dragon used a core as it's foundation for supplying and using energy throughout its body.
Originally she was still a tier 6 Dragon while her power kept leaking throughout her body which was a good thing as Zash collected it and told Serena to do so as well as it'd help her in her core formation stage.
" Phew~* I'm never going through that again ! Said Sylphia complaining about the procedure and had gained the title
[Cultivatior] (?????) ]
Which amazed her, but saw Zash approach her and told her to sit down and passed the techniques his family had used to go beyond as her meridians were stronger she needed more Essense but the technique is a must even the weakest being life-changing while his was more advanced than ever and even different worlds would constantly try to get this out of the family but none were ever successful. And one had to be alive to use the technique also not to mention the stronger the person the more stronger the might of the tribulations.
They both sat down while Sylphia had her back to Zash who had his hand on her back and he showed her how essence flowed through the body and how to get it from the surroundings and get it stored in her body, throughout the years she had seen Zash do this process but seeing and putting it to practical use was much Much harder than it seemed prompting Zash to guide her, along with his family's lifelong cultivation technique for females that is . (She was embarrassed to be thaught things like a child but liked the fact that Zash was guiding her throughout the process along with Serena who gave her more essense from the sidelines. While she learnt and implemented it quickly as she was a fast learner)
After a year she has become a element master stage cultivator and finally chose to proceed through with her bottleneck and aim for sky master stage.
While Zash guided her from time to time and also gave her a few tips and taught her the importance of building a Solid Foundation, Serena kept collecting essence from around the world and the sea being Vaste and full of power and Vitality, they kept supply of power constant along with Zash and Sylphia constantly leaking their powers of both essense and energies unique to them, as they kept the cycle going for years and the energy flowing around the island was so uniquely diversified and beautiful for spectating as it was powers which felt as dense as powder which kept getting refined and processed and produced again and again within 30 years Sylphia had sensed her bottleneck weakening and her ascending on the way with a little help from a few rare herbs to speed up the process while still keeping her foundation solid she advanced and was entirely focused on forming her core.
After 20 years of constant supply of energy and almost 1/2 the energy form the entire island and special Mana particles from Serena and Zash too gave up most of his Essence while releasing her power which she had been kept leaking throughout the years and had which in turn was being used for making her a new dragon's Core.
He was wondering how long it'll take as it took him 10 years if not for the sudden disturbance he had, which now he was thankful for, while considering the fact that her potential was good and had achieved sky master stage quicker than him. He was a bit worried but still chose to believe in her friend and kept guiding her throughout the way.
After 30 years along with a big boom which shaked the island and caused the air to churn around her, it was a spectacle to watch as a red beam of light which slowly dimmed out and to see a Sylphia more prettier than before along with newfound strength which equated her with Serena and she felt like a new person entirely her hair changed too as half her hair at the tips were still and had mostly white but seemed to differ from before like something had changed her every aspect and made her seem more grand than she ever did.
Sylphia too was amazed at her newly formed dragon core which seemed to be 3× more more powerful than before if she could even call it one as it was in its own league entirely and she could feel her gaining a new level of boost in her power handling as only less than 1% of her energy leaked unintentionally unlike before and her mind was clearer than ever and her thinking too improved on a whole new scale. She estimate her old self a few years back couldn't stand a chance at handling more than 15 moves from the current her. Which while seemed impossible to ever be true as it was considered she was a Tier 6 Dragon which made her want to progress further and further down the newfound road of cultivation.
"Seems like it all worked out perfectly" said Zash calmly as he was worried for her. He was tired too but had gained title [( perseverance) : the one who persists on a thing till the end passive gained : mind taunting skills -50% depends on the holder ] due to his constant supply of energy and he was tired mentally to an extent as was Serena.
" Yeah I estimate my previous self can't stand more than 15 moves from the current me I'll have to thank you both for that and sorry I was overwhelmed by power for a bit, let's rest for a little bit and start when we are ready to get to the next stage together and in the meantime excluding our exclusive energies." When she suddenly felt a sickening sensation and got out of the springs and hid behind the trees
Barf* suddenly puking what seemed like grime and black blood along with other impurities flowed out of her mouth which in terms made her disgusted to even think she had that many impurities within her even for the fact that dragons were many time more purer than any other species.
While Serena wanted to go to her friend and was wondering if something had gone wrong. Only to be stopped by Zash as he explained it to her. As her body was already purest and his too they both had it easy as for her being a dragon and breathing in toxins which harmed her from the insides along with blood clotting and old injuries would mostly all be expelled in this stage.
Which calmed her down and after Sylphia disintegrated her impurities to the last atom with her skills and corroded everything else which was left along the way.
And went back the same way where she came from to get back to Zash and Serena.
