The making of formations, something seen as a hard thing to learn.
Many knew the art of formation took decades, if not centuries to master and perfect. This is why not many wanted to follow this path, but those that did were highly regarded. Since Formations were something important, defense, attack, suppression, cloaking, etc. Formations could do it all.
To make formations one would have to use their energy to carve many sigils and runes. Which in the end would make a complex array of circles and other shapes. Then they would have to be carved onto something, this was how formations were made.
But there were hundreds of thousands of different runes, shapes, and patterns. With even more combinations which resulted in different types of arrays, which made formations.
Memorizing as well as experimenting with all of these different things took time, money, and patience. So Formation Masters were never missing, it is just that there were never enough.
So when Rhys started to practice formations, Aurora, Stella, and Crystal were surprised. Since they knew it would take time to learn, even more to put into practice. But for some reason when Rhys said he was confident in doing this, they did not doubt it.
They did not know if it was because of their feelings for him or something else. But in that end, Rhys did manage to become a Formation Master, as unlike others he already had the formation of different runes, shapes, arrays, and more inside of his head. He just had to put it into practice, which took around a month.
After his initial success, Rhys started to try different combinations, but the amount of Cosmic Energy required was too much for Rhys to supply in his current cultivation. So for now he could only perform mid-level formations.
But this still made the girls happy for him and praise his talent, since to do it in a month was unheard of! In fact, Rhys knew not even the geniuses of the Higher worlds could do what he did, but unlike them, Rhys already had the knowledge. So one could say he was cheating and simply got lucky to be chosen to Transmigate.
Yet luck is also a skill.
Rhys currently sat in a chair as he moved his finger through the air, making different arrays before they vanished into thin air. He was trying to see how much energy he could use now.
His reserves of energy were much larger than those of the same level as his own, that was all to the tempering of his dantian with aether as well as his bloodline working. Since aether took space, his dantian naturally enlarged to fit the aether.
The different blood essences also enlarged his dantian.
'Currently, I can't do much more than before... but at least the knowledge is enough... this is also less tedious than alchemy...' Rhys thought to himself.
'Slow and steady win the race... if I try to speed my cultivation up I might end up injuring myself...'
Rhys felt bummed, he had a lot of resources in the Jade ring but he could not access them until he was strong enough. After all, who would give a weak cultivator heavenly resources to use? Wouldn't that attract too much trouble?
That was why Swarshlen put requirements for everything in the ring, minus cultivation techniques.
"That is right, so first get stronger before the resources to make you stronger quickly and safely are available."
Ina's words made Rhys annoyed, he could increase his strength, but there was a very high change of death, unstable foundation, or even his meridians might break.
Even if he succeeded his powers would be unstable for a long time, so Rhys could only sigh at his fate, his improvements were record-breaking, but that was only for his bloodline and cultivation technique.
As Rhys sighed he felt someone hug him from behind, he knew it was Stella. Her body fit the feeling that she usually gave when they touched.
"What has you so down?" Her sweet voice asked Rhys.
"Just thinking about life, when did you get here?"
"Around the time you started to sigh." Rhys chuckled at her response.
"Took me by surprise there." Stella giggled this time.
"Mhm." Rhys and Stella shared a kiss, he did not mind either. They were both very deep in love at this point in time. Every date they had only made them more comfortable with each other.
Now Stella and Rhys could do the deed and not really care, since their love had progressed to the point they did not care. They trusted each other as well as the relationship they developed over the last few months.
Stella quickly began to use her arms to hold Rhys's shoulders as their kiss broke apart.
"You know, it has been a long time since I gave consent to sleep together, yet you never did." Stella spoke as she moved her arms to hug Rhys's neck.
"I did not want it to seem like I was after your body, after all, if I were to pounce on you the moment you told me I could I would feel bad." Rhys looked straight into Stella's eyes.
Stella smiled seeing this, "I know, but every time we kiss, touch, and hug my body feels hotter... it has been months you know... I want to try."
"I can always relieve you, but I want you to know the consequences of your actions."
Stella knew no one would interfere for one reason, she asked her sister and mother not to sleep here tonight.
...
[A Few Hours Back]
Stella walked down the hall towards her old room, everything but her clothes were still there, so she could still go inside.
As Stella walked inside she saw Crystal and Aurora, "So you did come to my call."
"Of course, it must be important." Aurora nodded.
"So what is it, sister?" Crystal tilted her head cutely.
"I-I... want to do that." Stella went straight to the point, it mattered not how much shame she felt, she still said it out loud.
""Oh."" Both Aurora and Crystal understood Stella's plight.
They two were also ready for 'that,' but they knew it was first come first serve. Stella was the 'first' person to come in contact with Rhys, so one could say she would become the first wife of the harem. Since Edea and Ailin were not part of Rhys's love life at the moment they weren't counted.
"We understand, for tonight we will sleep in our rooms." Stella got red when she heard Aurora's words.
Crystal smiled knowingly.
...
Rhys thought something similar to what Stella said happened, and he knew it was natural. They wanted to consolidate their relationship by becoming one. They felt slightly insecure since Rhys had yet to do more than kissing and groping.
'Well, it isn't like I will refuse.. not now or never.'
"Let's do it." Stella spoke as Rhys smiled and activated the formations to isolate the room. This was all done thanks to a token given to him by Aurora.
Rhys quickly got down to it. Although he had no real experience, he had read some books from the Imperial Library to know how sexual relationships between males and females worked.
Rhys pinned Stella down on the bed, this time however he started to kiss her neck, making Stella let out a moan.
Her pale and perfect skin was soft to the touch, it was also quite sensitive depending on how one touched it.
Rhys used his finger to make a cut in the dress Stella wore, ripping it straight through the middle. It took nothing but a bit of force for Stella's dress to disappear and her fragile, sexy body to appear. The sexy black underwear she wore covered her breasts and cave.
"Ah~" A yelp escaped Stella's mouth as she saw Rhys stare at her as if she were a meal.
Rhys started to kiss Stella, his tongue entering her mouth and playing with her tongue.
"Mhm~" Moans were muffled as they were blocked by Rhys's mouth.
As they kissed, Stella removed her underwear, her generous breasts coming into view, with her pink nipples erect.
Rhys moved his arms to fondle her breasts, feeling how soft they were.
He broke his kiss with Stella and began to suck and bite on Stella's breasts and nipples, he did not know why he did so. But he felt something inside of him telling him to do so.
Lewd sucking sounds sounded in the room as Stella moaned from the pleasure, her cave was building juices that were blocked by her panties that blocked them.
"Ahg~ Ah~ Gha~"
Moan after moan, Stella did not stop as Rhys devoured her breasts, which he found delicious. Rhys used his hands to remove the robe and quickly got naked, his sword standing tall and pointing at Stella.
Rhys stopped playing with Stella's breasts and looked at Stella, her breasts were filled with his saliva and bite marks, but Stella never once cried in pain, only pleasure.
His left hand moved to move her underwear, the panties that blocked her cave were removed, revealing a cave full of love juices. She had no pubic hairs, seemingly she had recently shaved, but neither did Rhys.
His dry rod was placed against Stella's entrance, the moment it touched her entrance they both shuddered from the pleasure they felt.
"Stella, be ready. I'm going in."
Stella nodded as Rhys moved his rod slowly up and down to lubricate it in her love juices. As his rod kept on scratching her cave's lips, Stella felt more love juices forming and drenching Rhys's member.
Although they were both inexperienced, they knew how to satisfy each other plenty. After all, many people had written books on how to do it.
Rhys slowly moved the tip of his rod inside of Stella, who let out a moan as she felt her tight cave slowly opening up to fit Rhys's dragon.
"Ah~!" Stella's hands hugged Rhys's neck, as she slowly but surely felt something big, thick, and hard entering her cave, its warmness making both Rhys and Stella shake in pleasure.
Rhys grunted in pleasure while Stella grunted in pain as Rhys broke through Stella's hymen. The moment he did he stopped moving. He wanted to allow Stella to get over the pain before he began to move.
Stella's pretty face was full of pain, tears had built on her fair eyes before she nodded slightly, signifying she was ready.
Rhys of course understood and began to thrust slowly to let Stella get used to her vagina being opened and shaped in his shape. So slowly he trusted deeper and deeper until he hit her cervix.
At that point he stopped, letting Stella's vagina get used to his shape inside of her. It took some time but by the time it was done Rhys began to thrust normally.
"Ah~ Aah~ Gah~"
Stella moaned in pleasure as Rhys trusted back and forth, his rod sliding in and out of her vagina. She felt the pleasure building up and her body shudder in pure ectasy.
She felt even happier to be doing it with Rhys, the man she chose as her partner.
Pah! Pah! Pah!
The sound of Rhys's pelvis hitting Stella's ass echoed in the room as Stella moaned in pleasure of feeling Rhys inside of her.
"Yes! Faster~ More~ No~ Slower~" It was at this point Stella moaned and spoke incoherently, her eyes rolling back as her breasts moved back and forth with every thrust Rhys did.
As Rhys trusted he used his arm to fondle and pinch her breast and nipple while his other hand supported himself.
Rhys moved his head and gave Stella a passionate kiss, which made her moans sound muffled.
Sloppy sounds echoed in the room, Stella and Rhys kissed wildly as he picked up the pace. He felt he was close to coming and so did Stella.
Every thrust was quicker and filled Stella with more pleasure than normal.
"MHm~ Yes~ Ah~"
Stella felt pure bliss, while Rhys felt this was something he never wanted to forget.
"Ugh." Rhys grunted in pleasure as his rod twitched, while Stella shuddered, they had both reached their limit and their liquids quickly escaped their bodies.
Stella's body convulsed in pleasure as her first pure Yin was let out, flooding her cave only to be absorbed by Rhys, but Rhys did the same, letting out his Yang, his seed, and flooding Stella, which moved straight into her cervix.
Rhys's Yang and Stella's Yin was the purest, it was their first time doing it after all. So once they let out their essences their bodies absorbed each respective essence. Which made them get stronger, Rhys got the most out of it as Stella was in the Saint Realm, while Rhys was in the True Realm.
Stella's Yin essence made Rhys have quick breakthroughs as he quickly stabilized in the Mid True Emperor stage. It was a huge boost, but this was not dual cultivation, so it only happened during the first night. While Rhys's Yang essence did nothing to Stella, that was only for now. In the future, she would notice that his yang essence was something she would go on to cherish.
If Rhys wanted benefits after this he would need a dual cultivation art, which he did not have.
Rhys's seed immediately moved through Stella's vagina and towards her womb. But Rhys was not worried about getting Stella pregnant.
Eternal Moon Spirits were one of the only female-only spirit race, so they had their own way to have children, which was the technique to use their blood essence.
So if Rhys and Stella wanted to have a child, they would need to use some of their blood essences and perform the ritual, where a female child would be born with the blood and talent of both the mother and father.
"Stella, I love you."
Those words were the last Stella heard as she was ravaged by Rhys the whole night, her moans of pleasure echoing in the room as they mated like wild animals, although she could not get pregnant. Even then they divulged in pure bliss and pleasure. Loving each other as Rhys filled Stella with his seed, that would sadly only go nowhere.
