"f**k *o*, fertilize your ass, mother******."
after an endless swears at the system, celestian calmed down and complain to ezekiel.
"what the actual heck fertilize the eggs so does that mean they will come out of my ass?"
celestian who yeet his shyness swears again, he calm down after he says all the swear he could think of.
ezekiel bewilderedly stared at him, after a seconds. celestian thin skinned manifest and blush he lower his head.
"so-sorry" he said shyly while lowering his head
"don't worry anyway where do we go?" celestian shrugs so he ask system the nearest gathering since the memory he got and the map is vague.
"1900 km east outside of slaty forest there is a town named slaty town"
celestian raised his eyebrow and snickered,"slaty town?, there won't be exhibitionist there right?".
ezekiel laugh and the mood in the cave became happy
"let's go, we will stay there for the night."
celestian remembered they need to pay for lodging"do we have money?"
ezekiel walked to the entrance of the cave "i don't know the currency there but i guess energy stones work too."
celestian hop towards the entrance too"energy stones is that this world's universal currency?"
ezekiel extend his hand to celestian "yes energy stones is the material cultivator's absorb to raise their strength, hold on to me we're going to fly."
celestian excitedly grab his hand and ezekiel hold his waist and flew. the moment two of them were floating celestian closed his eyes shut and tightly hugs ezekiel. ezekiel smiled and did what's stated in his memory to fly.
after a while of floating, ezekiel got hang of it and started doing various tricks which cause celestian to exclaim.
ezekiel whispered in calm voice"open your eyes and you will see the amazing view here."
celestian opened his eyes and saw the beautiful night scene of the forest and the moon shining brightly that hugs anyone in the night, most of the animals were sleeping and only nocturnal creature are active right now.
celestian was amazed by the scenery "wow, when can i fly like this?"
ezekiel thought for a while "from what i know in the memory there are two metamorphosis known, the first one is shredding mortality there are 10 stages in shredding mortality. gathering energy which requires you to gather energy to advance to opening meridian, in this stage the energy gathered in your body will be used to open your meridians the more meridian you can open the stronger you get also the more energy you can store in the body the wider your capacity and the higher the quality each manual technique have differences on gathering and then we go to the tempered skin, you temper the impurity, your age is related to this and the less impurity the more elastic and firm your skin gets. usually the older you get the more impurity gather in your body which is waste of time so big organizations prefer young cultivator to join them next is clenching flesh this stage burns money in this most poor cultivator gets stuck at this stage, this stage requires energy to clench your flesh the more clench the denser your flesh is and this helps you in the stage five which is mending bones you crush your bones and mend it the more crushing the solid it gets until your flesh can't destroy it anymore and this bones helps you in the stage six which is toughen organ, organ is fragile so if you want to toughen them you need to toughen them and the bones protects your organ, there are 9 organs you need to toughen excluding the skin, bones and flesh and we go to the high stage of shredding mortality which is enhance blood. if in earlier stage the probability of cultivator emerging in your bloodline is unknown in this stage all your descendants have the opportunity to become a cultivator and this stage ensure you can reach 100 years old without withering, and the nourishing the soul enable you to have strong soul capable of affecting the physical world and the stronger the soul the higher probability of your sixth sense to open and advance to the ninth stage which is opening sixth sense or mind in this stage you can perform telekinesis and have a lifespan of 150 finally the final stage which is ascension you use the sixth sense to cleanse your body so that you will become a being of energy and have a lifespan of 250 years old."
"wow you need to go though all of that just to become 250 years old?"
[host, all big organization use this metamorphosis to set a foundation and to them it's nothing look at ezekiel 18 years old at a condensed sea which is equivalent to core of those people]
"that's right even thought aakashamaya declined they still have their inheritance amassed tens of thousand of generations, anyway after the shredding mortality is severing mortality in the memory this realm only has four known stage which is accumulating energy condensed sea, spiritual core lastly nascent soul. in the first stage unlike gathering energy in the first metamorphosis, in this stage you gather them at the same place and condensed them to become liquid energy and solidify the sea in your consciousness until it turns into a spirit core or crystal core the first three stage are called phase transformation and in the fourth stage, the core in your consciousness breaks and born a infant soul, as for the specific of the last i still don't know"
celestian is excited to cultivate only to be thrown a cold bucket by lily.
[host can't cultivate energy instead you need to give birth to advance to another stage]
celestian mouth become agape and cry mournfully.
[didn't host want that you need not to cultivate like everyone else instead just absorb some laws as for giving birth you will not experience much pain instead treat it like you pooped an egg]
celestian turned even more aggrieved "it's not that, it's just i need to fertilize the eggs that means i need to have sex wahhhhhh and who will i have sex to and how to ask could i ask them wahhh"
lily got confused [isn't there ezekiel?]
celestian cry stopped "no no no no no, he is my descendant"
lily got even more confused [it's not like you gave birth to him right?]
celestian gave excuse "maybe ezekiel will not agree after all they will be the father of my children such responsibility no one would want that." his words got cut off by ezekiel
ezekiel smiled"i'm okay with that"
celestian stared at him "with what?"
ezekiel smirked "with being the father of your children"
celestian can't take the impact so no words could come out of his mouth, ezekiel took this as a sign of agreement
"after we settled down we will marry and fertilize the eggs"
celestian blushed "i- i believe only people in love with other should have sex and marry "
ezekiel smiled even more "i'm okay with that i'm willing to court you and make our feelings blossom"
celestian heaved a relieve sigh, the reason he is so against this is because he is afraid of following the footsteps of his parent, his father went to another woman after his mother become old and wrinkly, his parents fought and seperate, he followed his mother and guard over her as he watch his mother crying over the same man, a few years later his mother health deteriorated and died he was left alone in this world so he went to his dad and saw him with his woman happily carrying a baby he left and swore to never love someone and die alone, because of this incident he save the woman at the mall as he saw how she gently and lovingly caress her belly which made him remember his mother.
after two hours of flying they finally saw their destination.
slaty town is unlike what you call a town because the town looks like a city it stretch 2000 square miles and filled with lights and high rise establishment with various design.
they landed outside the town gate and lined up with other people.
the people lining up outside the town varies in age and outfit the only thing the same is that they are cultivator which is expected because with a place close to the slaty forest there bound to be a gathering of strong people.
the distance got shorter and shorter until there are only four people in front of them then suddenly a big shadow envelope the sky roared and landed in front of the gate.
one of the people ordered "we are from radiant sun palace, open the gate now!"
the beast they are riding on stared fiercely at the guard as if it would attack them if they disobey it's master.
the town guard captain shivered and hurriedly opened the big gate beside the small gate the people lining up entering to.
"hurry, open the main gate!!"
the main gate opened and the beast strode haughty to the town.
the people lining up complained.
p1:"bah!! so arrogant they thought themselves to be the ruler of this place"
p2:"sigh, what can we do a spirit core elder from their palace is stationed here"
p1:"it's not like they are the only one who have a spirit core stationed here and they act high and mighty like they own this place!"
p2:"those power won't fight with radiant sun palace just for us low level vagrant cultivator."
p3:"yeah and be quiet, i heard radiant sun palace massacre one family just because they won't hand over their young lady, who knows if their spies heard you."
p1 shivered and shuts up.
p4:"they really are big power look at their mount a peak accumulating energy"
p3:"true, i heard at their HQ shredding mortality are numerous that you can see them everywhere, accumulating energy and condensed sea are common i even heard they have many spirit core and several nascent soul"
p2:"sigh, with this force they can truly be called one of the top"
the main gate closed and the captain resume to collect the entrance fees
the four people discussion had been heard by celestian and ezekiel.
celestian whispered "zeke, we should be cautious at those people they're too arrogant"
ezekeil got caught off guard at the nickname and smiled happily
he whispered at his ear "hmm, we should find shelter for now and gather information tomorrow"
celestian blushed "okay"
at this time the people in front entered and it's their turn
"10 low energy stone" the guard reached out his hand
the currency is 1000 low energy stone=1 mid energy stone, 100 mid energy stone = 1 high energy stone.
ezekiel hands over 20 low energy stone "is there somewhere we can find shelter here?"
the guard looks at them "are you a newcomer?"
ezekiel nodded.
"in the south district a hotel called del luna, 100 low energy stone a day not included food and service, 1000 low energy stone a week with both"
"i see thank you" ezekiel nodded and walked to the slaty town with celestian.
the inside of the city even though night time it's still bustling with energy. they ask the direction of south district and went there by foot, it's prohibited to fly in the city only spirit core above are allowed. as they walked to south district they saw many fights and many prostitute, drunkards and open gambling sites along the way.
many stared at celestian as they rarely saw mortals which creeped out celestian but ezekiel brushed them off by releasing his condensed sea aura.which warms the heart of celestian so he become more fond of ezekiel.
they saw a big hotel with hotel del luna as the sign, they walked in to the to the front desk and ask the two receptionists "what's your most expensive room?"
the two smiled and the lady receptionist explained "sir, we have one presidential suite available"
"can you tell me the benefit of this room?" ezekiel ask as he did not want a hotel that can be infiltrated by assasins considering what they will do in the near future.
"understood sir, the hotel del luna have a branch in every city and important places of the continent as a big hotel company we ensure that the guests rest comfortably in our hotel, the security are fool proof and as the presidential suite, we ensure all possibility of danger in the hotel are eliminated. the array of the suite can block a nascent soul attack, it comes with a high energy gathering array and a natural vitality spring and high level privacy enchantment rune which blocks all proving of any party and top level service, food are made by rank three cultivator chef"
even though the lady make it exaggerated and under lying meaning, he understood since no nascent soul stay here and the warning that only inside the hotel protection is guaranteed he still accepts
"alright what is the price?"
"10 high energy stone a month"
ezekiel wave his hand and a pouch revealing 40 shiny stones with a lines circling the stone appear in his hand
"we want to stay for two months"
"understood sir, please follow me to your suite" the lady tone became more polite and respectful.
"let's go celly" celestian blushed at the address and the lady notice that and became aware at ezekiel intention so the eyes she used to glance as celestian become full of respect.
they walked deep in the hotel and as the more door appear the aura those rooms became stronger and they walked to the last door and the lady swapped a card and hand it over to them "the registration is completed if you need anything please press the alarm well then please enjoy your time at the hotel sirs" after that the lady bowed and leave.
the two opened the door and saw their room
the room is large according to what the lady said while going here, there are two floors in the first floor have the living room, dining room, the bathroom, a two small room, basement, training room and in the second floor is the master's bedroom, a cultivation room, and balcony. outside there is the terrace, the natural vitality spring and the beautiful scene of the city.
after they are done scrutinizing the first floor and the outside they went to the master bedroom the bed is king size on the left is the balcony and on the right is the cultivation room.
"we will sleep together, in case something happen and if you need anything just wake me up"
celestian blushed "why do you rent this expensive room?" ever since his mother died he lived a frugal life so he knows how hard it is to make money.
"sooner or later we will be a top people in the clan so we need to get used living in high quality place besides it's only two month after two months i'm confident that we can buy a mansion solely for the aether clan." in fact ezekiel lived in his own hotel next to the mall so he is used to high service as a young millionaire he spend money like breathing.
celestian seems to wanting to say something but ezekiel stop him
"tomorrow we will look for a method to make money now you need to sleep or else we will fertilize the eggs"
as soon as he said this celestian hide into the quilt looking vigilant to ezekiel.
ezekiel laugh and jump into bed also
"goodnight night celly"
celestian bury his head because he is embarrased by the nickname.
ezekiel thought he is sleeping because of fatigue
then came a tired voice "goodnighty zeke"
he smiled and became even more sure of this feeling he felt.
'it must love'
