So Dante V2 would have the same luck as Dante himself due to the aura of Heaven and the Aura of Earth! It wouldn't even be split like his soul strength, showing the peculiarities that come with the Aura of Heaven.
But it also gave Dante a chance to see how strong his own Aura of Heaven and Earth are. But the result was disappointing. His aura was only a small sheen of gold, only a little more than one of the twins.
While the aura of earth was even lower with only a few occasional wisps. But Dante soon realised what caused it, his aura was spreading to all of the puppets under his command at a 50-50 rate.
So Dante would receive half of the aura retrieved while the remaining 50% would be divided between all of his puppets. And while this might make it harder for Dante to increase his aura, the benefits far outweigh the losses. And this current Golden Aura still made Dante far luckier than others.
Dante disappeared from the carriage leaving Dante V2 sitting cultivating to the next realm. Next Dante V2 will travel around the continent with Mia and San, while hopefully finding potential subordinates and creating his own force.
That was a negative that Dante found with Dante V2. It wouldn't be able to connect to the world tree without reaching the Antique Realm. So Dante wouldn't easily be able to transfer subordinates between the two of them.
So Dante simply left Dante V2 one ancient cultivator, one hundred spirit states and one thousand fairy state cultivators. As for core building etc, it would be up to Dante V2 to cultivate them.
Is still Dantes soul and can use the puppet technique. But Dante wouldn't receive any memories from the soul unless they reconnect later. After all, it's not like a phone that can transfer details. He would only receive fluctuations if Dante V2 was in danger.
Dantes next stop was to return to the academy and wait until the next Harem member was found. From what he knew they were all out of the academy doing whatever right now.
Dante V2 sat in the large masters bedroom absorbing the energy around him. Faint Red Spiritual energy flooded into his body as his skin tightened and flushed a faint red. After a couple of minutes he quickly stepped into the body refining realm.
Of course it wouldn't be difficult for Dante V2s Rank 3 physique to reach the body tempering realm. But Dante V2 didn't continue to rush forward. He tightened his fist and felt his strength.
Dante V2 was trying to compare his strength to ordinary body refiners. It would give him a good reference for the future. After all Dantes main body had never had experience fighting using a low level physique.
So Dante V2 needed to slowly cultivate his strength like an ordinary person. This included building up the foundation. The Flame Beast Technique is actually quite unique. It allows the cultivator to summon a beast to fight with it.
The beast is naturally made completely out of Flames, but it's strength will increase together with the cultivators. Sadly you need to reach the Soul Tempering State to first summon the beast.
But the technique is incredibly powerful. Techniques that summon beasts are really rare and typically belong to Antique families just like this one. After all it would be two opponents against one in a fight.
And the beasts are completely controlled by the caster so they can even be used to fulfill some mundane tasks if the caster can keep up with the spiritual energy use. To summon the beast it takes not only a lot of energy, but also soul strength.
Luckily Dante V2 has the powerful third split of Dante's soul so he doesn't have to worry about running out of energy soon and can make full use of this technique. Furthermore the beast can even be armed which is incredible.
Of course this weapon is just in the form or armor built around the beast but nonetheless it lowers their disadvantages against humans. Armor is one of the reasons why humans often beat beasts at the same level.
While beasts have their own racial advantage, they are unlikely to produce armor and weapons. Of course high level beasts naturally do, but for lower level beasts it is difficult to get equipment suitable for them.
Dante V2 travelling on the carriage for a week before reaching their first destination. The Minxs County.
Over this week Dantes V2s cultivation had already risen to the peak of Body Tempering with the assistance of many cultivation resources. But the downside is he has to stay at the peak for a while to build up his foundation.
Minx County is a larger county with multiple Ancients in charge. Dante V2 chose this spot because it has a yearly competition in a Volcano. Yes, a Volcano. Once a year all the major families would send people to compete.
The winners would receive a beast egg of the Volcanos inhabitants. A rare magma beast with the guarantee of becoming a Fairy State beast and a high chance of becoming a Spirit State!
With enough resources and time it could even reach the Ancient State in the future.
This is naturally a valuable reward to any family in the county. But there is also intense competition among subordinates. Anyone can compete, from the family head down to a random maid.
However each team must send 5 people to compete. Dantes main body wouldn't be interested, however Dante V2 just set off and doesn't have many high potential subordinates at the moment.
Nor does he have any talented beasts available. Of course Dante V2 doesn't need a beast, but he would never say no to extra talents and it is also a perfect chance to show his true power to Mia.
Dante V2s carriage stopped at a large mansion in the county. This is just a mansion that Dante V2 sent his subordinate to open up. After all, the carriage lost most of its speed as it left Dante.
Dante took away the Phoenix from the carriage and left Dante V2 with an ordinary Spirit State Beast to run the carriage.
As soon as the carriage landed, Mia jumped out of the carriage and admired the surroundings. The mansion that came into her view was bigger than her families and even more luxurious.
