The commotion created by the twelve thousand beasts was large enough to alarm the people of the sect.
As Yasenia, Angel, and Ghana flew outside, the top elders, meaning the Sky, Astral, and Supreme Elders, joined the dragoness together with Yasenia's lovers.
Since Yasenia didn't give the order to stay away, those curious also went outside to look at the situation.
Alaia wore a white flowy dress as her yellow-scaled wings flapped, and she approached Yasenia. "Young miss, there are a few strong people for you. If you need our help, don't be reluctant."
Yasenia smiled softly. "Of course. Thank you, Alaia."
Alaia smiled. "No need to thank us; we exist to serve you."
Yasenia laughed. "Those words are reassuring. But remember that I consider you all close family, so don't be so stiff."
Alaia laughed. "Of course. By the way, we are still waiting for your answer to the conversation you had with Flora that day."
Yasenia titled her head. "Which conversation?... Ah."
Flora approached and chuckled. "You remembered! I thought you would've forgotten after so many years."
Yasenia has explained everything she has gone through to the maids without leaving anything out, so they know about the trial.
Yasenia pondered. "I'll probably be agreeable in the far future, but first…"
Flora nodded with a happy smile. "Of course. We won't interfere until you give us the go-ahead."
Alaia and the other maids also smiled.
When Yasenia arrived in front of the army, she was slightly surprised.
Since the beasts were in their beast forms, the space they occupied with their giant bodies was not smaller than the one million cultivators.
Yasenia flew forward and landed on the ground, observing those at the helm. Between them, she suddenly spotted five familiar faces. 'Oh? These five also landed in Distancia?'
Between the five, the emerald-color-scaled dragon woman flapped her wing and opened her arms as she flew at Yasenia. "Little Sister Yasenia~!"
Yasenia laughed and caught the [Nature Dragon] heir from the Sky Continent, Laurina. "Big sister Laurina. How have you been?"
The voluptuous bodies of the dragon women squished together, creating a tempting scene. During the final days of the secret realm, Yasenia had become very close to the five of them, so she was delighted to see them again.
Laurina smiled widely, her slit emerald eyes glowing with happiness. "Excellent! We managed to conquer the mountain range a few tens of thousands of kilometers away. We landed there about four years ago, and now we've come to dominate this World under your leadership!"
Yasenia looked over the thousands of beasts and felt grateful. "Thank you, Laurina. I really appreciate it."
She turned toward the other four that had approached and smiled, walking toward them to hug them. "Razar, Gorena, Sirae, Frisk, I'm also gleeful that all of you are here."
Gorena, the [Island Turtle] woman, had no animal traits, but her body was very muscular and a head taller than Yasenia, being even taller and much bulkier than Andrea.
In her arms, Yasenia appeared like a little girl.
She patted Yasenia's head as they hugged and asked. "Was there someone who bullied you, little sister Yasenia?"
Yasenia laughed and looked up at the blue-haired and green-eyed woman. "Nothing to worry about, big sister. How about Big Sister and the others? Did anybody bully you? If so, tell me, and I'll send my power to trample them!"
Gorena chuckled. "So reliable."
Yasenia moved toward Frisk as she asked and gave the short blonde man a hug.
Frisk, the [Lightning Quilin], blushed a bit as his head was squashed into Yasenia's breasts. He separated and coughed. "There were a few bugs, but we managed to kill them all. Moreover, with our bloodlines, dominating the beasts was not that complicated."
Yasenia ruffled his hair.
Then, she approached Razar, a white- and black-haired handsome and tall man with wild facial features. His exotic hair and eye colors gave him a very attractive appearance, although he had a hint of arrogance and pride in himself.
His race was that of a [Mountain Slashing Tiger].
But, when he saw Yasenia approaching for a hug, Razar coughed and took a step back, acting coolly. "No need to hug-Omph!"
Yasenia used a lot of her strength and laughed while squishing him in a hug. "Acting shy with me? Weren't you quite arrogant at first?"
Razar rolled his eyes, but he hugged Yasenia back with a slight movement. "Tsk, don't you realize that your exaggerated tits are hitting me."
BANG!
Yasenia used her tail and slapped him on the back of his head while rolling her eyes, slamming him into the ground. "Stop acting like a horny teenager. Even if I'm naked in front of you, you have to control yourself, Big. Brother. Razar."
After he stood up again, Razar acted like a cat whose tail was stepped on. "Who is acting like a horny teenager!?"
Yasenia laughed and approached Sirae, the [Ice Phoenix] woman with icy blue eyes and hair and porcelain white skin.
She hugged her softly and asked. "Big Sister Sirae, how have you been?"
Sirae's cold face gained a soft smile, and she hugged her back. "Very good. How is Cecile doing?"
Yasenia smiled and pointed at the side. "She can transform into her beast form."
Sirae looked at Cecile and was impressed. "So fast? As expected from little sister Yasenia's mate."
Yasenia smirked. "Well, we are all at the seventh level, so it's normal to have gained complete control."
The five pure beasts were impressed. "Seventh level?"
The dragoness looked at Angel and asked. "Baby, please create a noise cancellation formation."
Angel nodded and waved her hand.
Yasenia looked around and commented. "Let's go inside and talk further. By the way, I'm very grateful to all of you for guiding them here, but there are tests your subordinates must take to be qualified to join my power. If they are not, they can live in the surroundings. But, remember that a few areas might become a hunting ground, so I recommend going east from here and leaving them in the mountain range about eight hundred kilometers away."
Laurina nodded. "I'll take it into account. Will there be punishment if the beasts kill sect members?"
Yasenia shook her head. "Of course not. If they want to hunt beasts, they have to be prepared to be killed."
Razar stepped forward and asked. "Yasenia, there are a few of them who aren't sapient. What should we do?"
Yasenia pondered. "All of you have subordinates like that? I mean, non-sapient subordinates."
Gorena spoke softly. "Yes. We tried collecting our races because it's easier to influence them with our bloodlines. However, in my case, turtle-kin are few. Between the four hundred, I found there are only ten sapient ones."
Laurina added with a frown. "Yasenia dragons of this place are very… disappointing. Their bloodlines are so diluted that I can't really call them dragons but more like dragonoids. Pure dragons I found are very, very, few."
Yasenia nodded. "Yes, they were hunted down a few millennia ago and have yet to recover."
Laurina's eyes became cold. "Who did it?"
Yasenia shook her head. "It was a continental-wide scale hunt. There was not a main culprit besides Distancia, the hero. Do you know about the history of this continent?"
Laurina snorted. "A bunch of barbarians. Even the humans in Sky Continent, who I already disliked, are not that excessive with beast slaves."
Gorena's eyes were cold for once. "Honestly, the beast-humans of this place are too elitists. Even against pure beasts. A few of them tried to catch us as pets even after knowing we had normal intelligence."
Yasenia nodded. "I've tried saving the girls from the Sky Continent by creating a slave trade, but I've had limited success. Well, I have a program to integrate humans in my sect for the future."
Razar frowned. "What about males?"
Yasenia shook her head. "I couldn't. I had to create a persona… Hum. I'll explain in more detail when we are inside."
Razar nodded. Then, he smirked and asked with a mocking smile. "Hey, Frisk. How about you tell how many of your race we've found."
Frisk crossed his arms and snorted. "Us, Quilins, are very rare even in Sky Continent. Quilins can't be born with such underdeveloped dragons since we are a variant."
A Quilin was a beast with a horse body, dragon head, dragon tail, and antlers, and the males had hoofs, and the females had dragon claws.
Their bodies were covered in scales with a beautiful mane and slit eyes, and they had an innate ability to gallop in the air. Even newborn Quilins could walk in the air.
Legend said they were a species created by a powerful stallion copulating with a female dragon.
Yasenia smiled and laughed. "You could've tamed horse-related beasts, right?"
Frisk nodded. "That's what I did, but the stupid Razar still says that I have no subordinates."
Razar snorted and laughed. "I'm the one who got the most subordinates, after all. This Lord Razar is that good! Hahaha."
Yasenia and the others rolled their eyes, but they had smiles on their lips. Although Razar acted arrogant, in truth, he was extremely caring.
He was the one who helped Frisk by secretly leading a few horse-related beasts toward Frisk and giving him the idea.
Frisk discovered it later but didn't say anything because he knew Razar would be embarrassed.
Laurina saw Angel, and her eyes glittered, flying toward her. "Little Angel! How have you been doing?"
Angel was suddenly buried in a valley of softness, and with strange expertise, she moved her head a bit to escape the titty prison and looked up.
She was already strangely accustomed to big-breasted sisters burying her face in their breasts. "Very nice~, I'm already in the seventh level of the Unification Realm!"
Laurina nodded. "Very good! Your cultivation speed is as good as ours even when we have found quite a few treasures and powerful beast cores in the mountains."
Laurina blinked. "Speaking of which, here."
Yasenia caught the spatial ring she threw and looked inside.
There were thousands of treasures, plants, minerals, Body Cultivation manuals, beast cores, etc.
"Ho? Where did you get all this?"
Laurina snorted. "A few beast-humans using those mountains as a hunting ground dared to dive into the depths, so we killed them. Their seniors came later, indignant. So, we razed their powers to the ground. These are things in their treasury."
Yasenia blinked. "How many beasts you lost?"
Laurina sighed. "A few hundred. We learned that they were a low-level, second-rate power. There were seven Epoch Core cultivators, one in the middle level. But we managed to siege the power to the ground with the Beast Seniors and each of us taking one Low-level Epoch Core until the seniors resolved the main threat."
Yasenia nodded.
These five were the heirs of leading powers back in the Sky Continent, so it is expected to be strong. Not to mention, the amount of treasures for themselves in their rings plus all the things they got in the Lost Town by themselves amounted to enough resources to carry them almost through the entirety of the Fourth and Fifth realms.
After dispelling the formation, Laurina approached the group of beasts and shouted. "We are going inside the Astral Sky Sect. Do not be rude to Lady Yasenia and maintain the younger beasts in check."
One of the seniors from the army stepped forward. Surprisingly, he was from the dragon race. And even more surprising, he was in the middle level of the Epoch Core realm.
Yasenia felt a bit of pressure from the giant dragon. 'Hm, his strength is not bad. I don't know if I could beat him.'
Although most dragons were ageless, the ones with a low-level bloodline had a limit to their lifespan and growth.
Remember that as the dragons aged, they became larger and stronger without needing to cultivate. However, low-level bloodline dragons became "too large" for their strength, and meridians couldn't maintain their body functions, leading to a "natural death."
The visibly ancient dragon looked at Yasenia and asked. His voice was aged and deep. "Excuse this old dragon, but we followed these young talents because of their bloodline level. Lady Laurina is the future of our dragon race. And I don't want to be disrespectful, but could you show us your qualifications?"
The five beast heirs instantly frowned and glared at the giant dragon.
Meanwhile, Yasenia's lips arched as she approached, energy gathering around her.
"Sure, let me show you."

Kaszty: Hello~.
Andrea: Welcome, Kaszty.
Kaszty: So, seniors. I was wondering… What is the most powerful Unique Element you've encountered?
Mirrory: Can we answer this?
Author: Well, why not? Saying just the name is not that much of a spoiler.
Mirrory: Hm, true. Well, a previous master of mine fought against a powerful cultivator with Creation Energy.
Valeria: Oh? I've also seen someone with that energy, but then I learned they perished.
Mirrory: Probably not the same. My encounter was a few hundreds of millions of years ago. Moreover, the Creation Energy guy killed my master.
Valeria: Oh…
Valeria: What about you, Tatyana?
Tatyana: Hm… I think I haven't met any besides Yasenia. Unique elements are, well, Unique.
Valeria: Fufufu, the first encounter being your own daughter. That's truly a one in ten thousand lives moment.
Mirrory: I can agree with that.
Kaszty: I see. Thanks.
