After spending about two weeks in the underwater valley, we continued our journey. I was of course carrying them all using my Thunder Port ability. This saved us a ton of travel time, while also allowing us to see all the same sights. Our next destination was a large desert.
At first my wives were confused about the destination. I smirked, with a cool and confident look in my eyes. And right before their eyes appeared a truly powerful spiritual Oasis. Here in the middle of the desert, a place like this would have untold benefits for all of us.
Though it will mostly be a simple escape from elsewhere. Huo Lei and Xiu Che would benefit the most from this place. Understanding this, and having an infinite amount of trust in me. Huo Lei and Xiu Che strip down completely naked. The bits of the sun's rays coming through the trees glistened and sparkled on both of their bodies.
"Sister, let us not waste Husband's blessing." Huo Lei smiled at Xiu Che and held out her hand.
"With pleasure sister, I too wish to bask in this glorious place." Xiu Che smiled brightly, taking Huo Lei's hand.
The two looked at me with a thoughtful, thankful and loving look in their eyes. They then looked at each other again, nodded, and then frolicked into the Oasis's water. Once they reached the center of the Oasis, they each sat back to back in the lotus position, hovering their bodies just low enough for the water to wrap around their legs and go up to their hips. Two beauties, with their upper bodies exposed and their lower bodies submerged. In this position they began Dual Cultivation with each other.
"Husband, you made this place mostly for 1st and 2nd sister, didn't you?" Chi Qiu asked, now also completely naked and pressing her breasts against my chest.
"No, it's not just for them. All of us can learn something from this place I have recently created. It is true that Lei'er and Che'er are going to have the most benefit from this place. But, I hope that all of you can learn something from this experience." I answered, wrapping my arms around Chi Qiu placing my hands on her butt cheeks to ensure she wouldn't get away after teasing me like that.
"Oh? I think I understand, at least in the case of Sister Lei and Sister Che. But for the rest of us... especially the four of us you married at No-return Pass." Bing Xue asked in a curious tone, as she folded her clothes and placed them on a cooling rack she just made out of ice principles.
"Qiu'er, Qiang'er, Xue'er, Hua'er and Qin'er the 5 of you will be practicing the Joyous Re-Unification Art with me everyday we stay here. That is the benefit for the five of you. As for Yu'er, Qing'er and Yun'er, you'll all benefit from the ambient World Energy I used to generate this place. Furthermore, I am going to give each of you a drop of my rather precious wine. You'll need to carefully refine it while remaining close to my side. If any accidents happen that you can not handle, I'll immediately initiate dual Cultivation with you and save you as a result. Though there shouldn't be any problems, since this one is the weakest by far. Even still a single sip nearly made a 5th rank faint, let alone what a fourth rank might experience..." I explained, calmly.
"Oh and a place like this we can remain whole in our natural element, completely baring our naked selves, mind, body and soul. This is how we learn the most with least effort. But... what is it you gain from this, Husband?" Zi Yu asked, with a lustful smirk, leaning her body weight to one side in a super sexual manner.
"That's the most obvious one, I get to spend time with my wives, naked and fully bare. To love and grow together. Fashioning the tightest of bonds with the strongest of loves among the Mind Body and Soul." I smiled, now also being bare nude for their eyes. "Also, in Qin'er's case this doesn't apply since she has already practiced this. But for Qiu'er, Qiang'er, Xue'er and Hua'er I will also help you in cultivating the Human Race techniques to help aid your growth. It might not sound all that impressive now, but you should never underestimate the power of having your own Small Universe to store whatever you don't want others to see. There are more benefits than down sides. Since all of you will undoubtedly learn to manipulate Fate, and thus change your limits regardless." I smiled.
"Husband! That's... That's so thoughtful." My Wives, all said teary eyed. And then Qiu'er gave me a long and sensational kiss.
After this we began, day in and day out. Our Cultivation training was clearly paying off dividend after dividend. And it wasn't just the 4 Ancient Divine Spirits, Qin'er and myself. It was also Huo Lei and Xiu Che, both of them were rapidly improving their strength by leaps and bounds. For them it was a simple matter.
They both had a deep connection with each other, and they also were on equal footing in both their Monster and Human Cultivations. It wasn't long before they both started breaking through to the Dao Source Realm.
While Huo Lei and Xiu Che were breaking through to the Dao Source Realm, I and my other wives watched. Looking at the phenomenon through a different lens. The lens of one creating a world that would do this sort of thing, granting acknowledgement and testing a cultivator's mind, body and soul to prove they are worthy of the next realm.
It was a moment of understanding for everyone else aside from myself. After all, I already had the complete knowledge of how this worked from start to finish. One didn't get blessed to become the next major realm, that is backwards. One must work to withstand the minimum requirement for that realm to actually enter it. And that is why, a 3rd order Origin King is capable of defeating a 1st Order Dao Source. There is, after all, not enough of a fundamental difference between the realms to provide complete immunity.
