It was a sunny morning.
The dragoness opened her eyes, and the weight on her body, arms, and tail made her smile. She looked around with soft golden eyes, observing her sleeping dears.
The morning light rays sneaked into the room, decorating it with a tender radiance while they illuminated her lovers' sleeping faces with golden dust.
Our dragoness felt blessed waking up to this image every morning.
'I need to prepare myself.'
Yasenia slowly liberated her arms from Evelyn's and Kali's embrace while freeing her tail from Cecile's and Tatyana's legs.
Then, with the utmost care, she lifted the drooling Angel sleeping on her breasts, not minding at all the small puddle her baby created on her chest.
After leaving Angel in her previous spot, she stepped into the adjacent room.
Before leaving, she funnily observed Kali and Evelyn searching for her and hugging Angel instead. Meanwhile, the little baby fumbled around and finally buried her face in Kali's ample bust.
'So cute~.'
After closing the door, she went to the dressing room where the five head maids of the fifty-maid group waited for her: Alaia, Flora, Clara, Leila, and Selena.
"Good morning, young miss!"
They bowed in tandem, and Yasenia nodded. "Since today is a formal day, what do you recommend I should wear?"
The five pondered. Leila's gentle voice was heard. "Young miss, how about wearing conservative? It would make a nice contrast from the usual clothes."
Selena clapped her hands, and her lamia tail wagged. "That's a wonderful idea."
While they discussed, Valeria appeared with a green breeze. "Good morning, little Yasenia."
Yasenia looked up at the three-meter-tall green lady and smiled back. "Good morning, Valeria."
Flora tensed and looked at Valeria with a respectful gaze. Valeria chuckled. "Didn't we make that misunderstanding clear?"
Flora blushed a bit, her green cheeks becoming darker. "B-But, Lady Valeria. You are my ancestor, um… Can I at least call you mother?"
Valeria leaned forward and patted the dryad's head. "Right now, I'm your current master's summon. Therefore, creating that seniority is not adequate. If you insist on calling me something, you can call me Ancestor. But, I'd rather you refer to me as Lady Valeria."
Yasenia smiled, remembering their shock when Flora first met Valeria. 'I was surprised when she called her Mother Ancestor. It seems that dryads are an evolution of Nature Spirits that fused with plants and eventually took a humanoid form. As the literal progenitor of all Nature Spirits, Flora could sense it instantly and was so flustered that Valeria had to cradle her like a child to reduce her excitement.'
Flora naturally would not falter in her loyalty, and her number one will be Yasenia in the past, present, and future.
However, her excitement wouldn't decrease because of that, and sometimes, she stuck to Valeria like a child following their parent.
Valeria was naturally delighted. After all, her motherly instincts were the deepest as the first Life Spirit.
Most probably, all life creatures that lived nowadays had some common ancestry that went back all the way to Valeria. So, Flora's instantaneous affection toward the Nature Queen was normal.
Valeria urged. "Now, child, continue helping Yasenia."
Yasenia lifted an eyebrow with a smile. "You can spend time together instead if you want."
Flora shook her head with a smile, regaining her natural and soft temperament. "Don't worry, Young Miss. Today is an important day, so I will serve you and Lady Kali to the best of my abilities."
Then, the five maids got to work and took off Yasenia's transparent black nightgown, leaving her bare.
No one got flustered. Yasenia was more than used to the maids attending her, even if almost three decades had gone by since then.
Alaia came from behind seriously and cupped the breasts from below while Selena placed a dress in front of Yasenia. Alaia commented. "Her breasts are big for this dress. There will be a crease in the right area."
Leila agreed, and when Flora presented another, the dog kin shook her head. "The waist area is too tight. Young miss penis will create a bulge."
Flora approached the dress while cupping the dress against her flaccid member and agreed. "You are right."
Yasenia commented. "What about the red one over there?"
Clara picked it up and shook her head. "Young miss, a backless dress is not suitable. We need something more formal."
Valeria observed with amusement and decided to participate, picking one that caught her eye. "What about this floral dress? It covers everything and should fit perfectly with Yasenia's curvy body."
Alaia shook her head again. "That's too informal, Lady Valeria. We want an imposing dress."
Leila looked around, and her eyes suddenly shone, picking one and showing it to the others. "How about this one?"
The maids and Valeria looked over, and their eyes lit up. "Perfect."
The girls woke up one by one, and they stood up.
Angel rubbed her hazy eyes and looked at the pair of breasts that were not Yasenia's, asking with a mewling tone. "Where is Yasenia."
Kali caressed her blonde hair with a smile. "She is changing for today's event. She wants to try a formal grab."
They all became interested and went to the living room to wait for her.
The other forty-five maids attended them, delivering breakfast, the books they liked to read, and many more items.
Andrea couldn't help but smile. "Thank you for your work."
The cat maid pouring coffee chuckled. "No worries, Madam. We've come here with the intention of aiding all of you. So, make use of us as you will."
The girls had chosen what to wear the previous days and were already wearing them.
Their choice of clothes were cultivation robes, similar to a hanfu. They were clothes with a few layers, very long and wide sleeves, a rope at the waist to accentuate it, and long, ample, and flowy skirts.
The colors were what changed the most. Evelyn wore a purple and blue one. Angel wore a white and yellow one. Cecile, a pure white one. Andrea, a black and red one. Kali wore a green, pink, and golden one. And Tatyana, a fiery red one.
Those colors accentuated their personality and charm, making them look like fairies that fell from the heavens and decided to walk on mortal land.
As they waited, they heard steps coming from the door, and the sound was familiar. So, they turned their heads to look at Yasenia.
When the dragoness appeared, their eyes couldn't help but widen.
Yasenia's long black hair was gathered in a complicated and beautiful updo, leaving half the hair to fall on her back like a glowing black waterfall. She had three immaculate golden hairpins, and her ears were adorned with elegant earrings.
Her face was lightly done, putting on eyeliner to make her already impactful gaze even more intense, and her lips had a glossy red color that tempted the viewer to approach and take a bite.
The luscious lips arched in her usual smirk, but the eyes remained elegant and piercing, making the seductiveness impacting with added overbearing elegance.
The dress was similarly a hanfu, but the one she wore was intricate and finely crafted.
With blue as the main color, the image of golden dragons and stars was imprinted on the fabric, and the lack of cleavage or provocative feeling highlighted her classical beauty with Eastern features.
The golden rings on her blue dragon tail, the glittering white colors that gave the illusion of her tail leaving a trail of glittering stars, and her calm swishing motions accentuated her presence.
Yasenia smiled while looking at them, making the world seem dim and dull in front of Yasenia's current beauty. "Sorry for making you wait, my loves."
Her low and attractive mellow voice made them blush and bashful.
Angel almost squealed in excitement. 'OH MY HEAVENS! SHE IS GORGEOUS! KYA!'
Tatyana stood up and smiled. "You look fantastic, little treasure."
Angel also approached and grabbed her hand with reddish cheeks. "Y-You are like a fairy, Yasenia."
Yasenia smiled and lowered her face to kiss her forehead. "Thank you, baby."
Then, with a wave of her arm, a motion that her current long-sleeved dress followed beautifully, Yasenia summoned Draconic Heart and mounted on it. "Shall we go?"
The others also summoned their flying swords and followed behind.
The maids followed their own flying swords and flew behind Yasenia's group.
Meanwhile, a mass of cultivators gathered on a large plaza outside the mountain valley.
The numbers were between one and two million.
The place for the gathering was right outside the forest surrounding the mountain basin, about five hundred kilometers south.
There was a small city here previously that Yasenia bought and placed under her control to act as an outside post.
For the test, Yasenia created a first test to act as a filter and then more specific tests to assign people to the different ranks in her sect.
The general outline worked like this.
The outer disciples would be at a minimum in the Initial Foundation Phase, which was equivalent to the Meridian and Dantian creation realm. That is the first realm.
The inner disciples would be Mortal Transformation Body, similar to the Body Modification Realm.
Finally, core disciples would be Spiritual King Body Realm, similar to Mental Nourishing Realm cultivators.
To be an elder, this was also the minimum realm. In this realm, being an outer elder was possible.
However, the benefits were less than being a core disciple. Hence, age and potential were the conditions for dividing core disciples with Outer Sect Elders.
Inner Sect Elders needed to be Ethereal soul body realm cultivators.
Then, Core Sect Elders were either at the peak level of the Ethereal soul realm or had earned enough merits to become one while being of a lower level.
There were many sub-levels in the sect, like Alchemy elders, etc. She was dividing the sect neatly in many departments while not losing cohesiveness and using combat as a core characteristic.
For Epoch Core Cultivators. Things were different.
They were the main force of the sect and followed these qualifications.
Low-level Epoch Core cultivators were denominated Sky Elder and wore yellow robes with white edges. White robes with black edges were for the mid-level Epoch core experts, and they were denominated Astral Elders. Finally, dark blue robes with golden edges meant a High-Level Epoch Core cultivator, and they were called Supreme Elders.
Moreover, each level could admit a different number of personal disciples. Sky Elders could accept ten, Astral Elders twenty-five, and Supreme Elders fifty.
There were no conditions to accept these disciples, so it was like a "free" pass for them.
Yasenia knew that this would promote family ties, but she didn't care. After all, if they were too blatant and tried to take the sect's resources to nourish their talentless younger generations, Yasenia would take matters into her own hands.
It was a small benefit that those who were clever would learn to use, which Yasenia didn't mind, and those who were stupid would stand out. Thus, it allowed Yasenia a self-cleansing method of the higher ranks.
The clan symbol didn't change, still being a dragon claw holding a moon and a sun while being sprinkled with glittering stars.
The design was simplistic, and the crescent moon surrounded the Sun, which was all grabbed by the dragon claw and then adorned with the stars.
All robes had the symbol on their chests.
Yasenia and her entourage arrived at the place moments later, and when they looked up and saw the Empyrean Dragoness, everyone got silent.

Author: The next chapters will be about the sect and how it works~.
Angel: So excited! We are opening a sect!
Yasenia: I'll use this model in the future if I open one. It's very nice. I just need to adjust cultivation ranks and the Astral Sky Point System.
Author: Anyway, I summon you!
SeniorKain: Hello!
Evelyn: Alo~.
SeniorKain: Tatyana, Mirrory, Valeria, I was wondering what would happen if a progenitor king and a progenitor queen from two species that could be considered the exact opposite of each other were to have a child together.
Tatyana: Well, in the first place, it would probably be impossible unless they try very, very hard.
Mirrory: Yes. Moreover, even if the child is born, it is bound to suffer many complications. Elements clashing, not a proper constitution, bloodline rejecting the body, etc…
Valeria: Whether it would survive or not is a question worth asking.
Yasenia: Um… Do I have a problem like that?
Valeria: Not at all. Little Yasenia, your constitution is one of the best to have progeny because of its ability to balance opposed energies.
Yasenia: I see. So, my babies will be mighty?
Tatyana: Hahaha, very mighty!
SeniorKain: Well, thanks for answering!
Author: No problem. And with this, today's chapter ends~. Bye-bye!
