After three months of cultivating behind closed doors and reaching peak Gin Gathering Realm, his mother decided to have him stop cultivating for now as too much cultivation will lead to Gin deviation. So he decided to listen to his mother's words and take a rest for a while.
Since I was free now, my mother decided to take me with her to visit Emilia in the vampire realm tomorrow morning since she is going to see Queen Sylvia because they have things to discuss.
Early morning in from of the palace. I was standing with my mother after getting ready to go with her to the vampire realm to spend some time with Emilia.
"Are you ready to move baby?"
"Yes, mother".
After that Rebekah covered them with her energy and started flying to the exit of the realm, which took 20 minutes. She could have taken any of the spatial portals to send her and Kevin to the exit with no time wasted but she decided to spend that time with her child since he has been cultivating for the last 3 months and didn't have time to spend with her.
As they moved through the air they conversed with each other.
"So how is your relationship progressing with little Emilia?" asked Rebekah with a teasing tone.
"Nothing much mother, we have grown closer over the last year as friends that's all" replied Kevin in a composed manner to not let anything show on his face so his mother doesn't continue teasing him.
As she found him composed, she decided to talk about something else,
"Now that you have reached peak of Gin gathering realm, I think you should prepare yourself for the pain that is about to come from the next stage," said Rebekah with a serious voice.
"But I have read in the records that the next stage is not hard since I just have to make the energy strengthen my body, is there anything extra not there in the records?" asked Kevin with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, our bodies are different than other races especially since we are the Royalty of our race."
"What do you mean? Won't we have to strengthen the same parts?" asked Kevin in a confused manner since this is his first time hearing something like that.
"Yes, but since the density of our bones are tougher, flesh and muscles are stronger than other races, it takes more energy and more effort to make the energy penetrate the bones and muscles and other organs to strengthen and fill them with energy which will cause a small amount of pain or a large amount depending on the original density of our body."
"Does that mean we got stuck in this realm for a little longer than the other races?".
"Well, it depends on the Will of the dragon going through the pain at a young age whether he will be able to bear the pain or will delay this process to take it with some intervals to rest between them."
"What about the last mini realm in strengthening body realm? I read it was not necessary to go through it since it causes a lot of pain," asked Kevin in a composed tone since the pain means nothing to someone like him who already experienced the meaning of death.
"The last mini realm can be skipped if one feels like it, but all that goes through it will have a tremendous increase in talent since you temper your blood and marrow, especially to us dragons when we use the dragon pool left by our ancestors by using their blood when they are at the end of their lifespan to make our blood purer," said Rebekah in a serious tone, of course, she didn't mention that this is just the first refinement of blood and if he is fated he can chance upon more special resources that can help refine his body and blood to strengthen them."
As they were talking about the cultivation process that Kevin will have to go through soon, they arrived in front of the gates to outer space, after greeting the guards standing at the entrance of the gates leading to outside the gate.
I turn my attention to scenery of the outer space as it is a scenery that I will never get tired of seeing.
The dragon realm is located in hidden folds of space in the Upper World where there are thousands of top and high-tiered galaxies, so the number of stars one will see when coming out of the realm doors is astronomical, as for how visitors come to the dragon realm, only select people allowed to visit it and as for knowing the exact location isn't possible as the realm change locations most of the time.
To visit the dragon realm or any other realm of the other top races one has to go through one of the teleportation rooms in the biggest cities on some of the planets under the direct control of the said race to have access to their main home.
Having a realm and a foothold in the Upper World didn't mean that they have no one in the middle and lower worlds, the large factions send clan members with lower bloodline purity or less talented individuals to live there and take control of the business for them and spread their family.
That's why there are hundreds or maybe thousands of different clans that have dragon blood, same with the other races especially humans since they increase their numbers faster than the other races combined.
As I was lost in thought watching the beautiful stars from distance. My mother took a small flying artifact which immediately grew in size taking the shape of a large boat when my mother throw it into space above us.
It was five hundred meters long with a short deck and there was a cabin filled with empty rooms so people can rest in them while the ship was traveling in space.
After we got on the ship, it started moving with a speed that broke the sound barrier as it moved in the direction of Clover planet in the Crimson Galaxy which is one of the main planets of vampires, from there they will be able to take a teleportation directly to the Vampire Realm if needed but this time we will spend time on Clover Planet.
And just like that, it took us 30 hours to reach the Crimson Galaxy because we were moving slowly not at maximum speed, if the boat moved at its maximum speed it won't have taken us a few hours before arriving, but my mother took it slow at my request so I can watch the stars and other natural phenomena out there in the space, with my cultivation if I took half step outside boat I will be obliterated but the energy barrier around the ship protects me from harmful energy plus the energy mother is still using to coat my body for more safety.
