As the first light of dawn appeared outside, Lucian fully restored his Spiritual Energy.
Right now, looking at the semi-transparent System screen, Lucian silently selected “Yes”.
He was curious about what kind of treasures the System would provide!
The moment he chose yes, the space in front of him seemed to tear as a palm-sized ball of mist appeared soundlessly!
Lucian furrowed his brows as he quickly grabbed the strange orb.
“What the hell is this thing? Isn’t this supposed to be some Heavenly materials?” he muttered in confusion.
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, three System notification appeared,
—
[Let the Harem Members absorb the Heavenly Mist Orb. It will form the unique treasures specific to each cultivator’s needs for their Heavenly Palace.]
[There is no need for re-cultivation to change one’s Heavenly Palace.]
[The new Heavenly Palace, established from unique materials, will gradually transform and enhance the Golden Core.]
—
Lucian’s eyes gleamed in understanding. But his frown didn’t disappear entirely.
“Why is there only one orb? Aren’t all the members supposed to get treasures?” Lucian wondered.
Lucian suspected the System was only answering his questions now because they were related to the System Quest. So he asked again.
The next moment, three new notifications appeared,
—
[The other members need to reach Peak Foundation Establishment Realm to receive their own Heavenly Mist Orbs.]
[The Host does not need to be by their side for them to receive their Heavenly Mists Orbs.]
[The moment Host selected “Yes”, Heavenly Mist Orb was given to Harem Member Iris without alerting any individual. Right now, the Heavenly Mist Orb is transforming her existing palace.]
—
“I see…” Lucian nodded in understanding. It made sense that only cultivators nearing the Golden Core Realm would be able to use such precious treasures.
Lucian had another important question he wanted to ask, “Will the future Harem members also receive these Heavenly Mist Orbs?”
And to his surprise, the System answered again,
—
[As long as they are still in Nascent Soul stage. As the Primordial Soul of a Divine Transformation Cultivator will absorb the Heavenly Palace.]
—
Primordial Soul?!
Divine Transformation?!
Lucian took a deep breath to calm his pounding heart.
Is this the name of the realm after Nascent Soul? Then what about the Rular Realm?!
It was the first time he had heard of what came after the Nascent Soul stage.
When he had asked Eris about it before, she simply replied that she would reveal it to him once he reached the Nascent Soul stage.
He waited with bated breath, hoping the System would provide more information, but there was no response.
“…”
“Sigh! So my previous guess was correct,” Lucian said to himself, disappointed.
Closing the System panel, he turned to Alisa, who had gone to retrieve Fang Yi’s Storage Ring and the Azure Sword after recovering.
“Alisa, come here. I have something for you,” he called.
She had just used her Qi Sense to break Fang Yi’s mark on the ring, when she heard Lucian’s voice.
Alisa immediately moved to Lucian’s side, her eyes drawn to the strange orb in his hand.
“What is this?” she asked with curiosity, using her Qi Sense to examine it.
But just as her Spiritual Sense was about to make contact, it passed right through, as if this thing was… an illusion!
“What!?”
“This is something I’ve obtained in the Secret Realm,” Lucian casually made an excuse, “Come, sit here and start your meditation. I’ll show you how special this thing is.”
Alisa handed him Fang Yi’s Azure Sword and Storage Ring without hesitation, then sat down in the lotus position, calming her breathing and closing her eyes.
After ten breaths of time,
Lucian placed the Heavenly Mist Orb on Alisa’s forehead.
The orb slowly entered Alisa’s sea of consciousness!
Alisa had full faith in Lucian, so she didn’t reject the strange object’s intrusion.
When the orb got close to her Heavenly Palace, it stopped.
All of a sudden, it released a blinding light that filled her entire mind. A profound energy began to circulate throughout her body, passing through her meridians and penetrating every part.
It only took half a breath of time, but to Alisa it felt like an eternity.
Then the orb began to change into a strange gray flame. It was unlike any fire Alisa had ever seen before.
The flame emitted an eerie glow that sent chills down her spine.
Instead of heat, it spread an intense coldness throughout her sea of consciousness.
The gray flame slowly expanded…
As it grew, Alisa could see a new structure forming – a new Heavenly Palace enshrouded in cold fire.
At this point, her original Heavenly Palace trembled as the Nether Heavenly Palace sent burning whips of gray flame, reaching out to wrap around it. Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire
Alisa watched in disbelief as her Heavenly Palace was slowly consumed!
After an incense stick of time, her sea of consciousness returned to calm.
At the heart of her new Heavenly Palace, Alisa saw her Golden Core – a Dao Lotus with nine petals. It was just like Lucian’s, and was rotating silently.
The new palace exuded an aura of mystery and ancientness.
Furthermore, the new palace was 199cm larger than the previous one, which completely stunned her!
She also felt the transformation of her Heavenly Palace had pushed her to the brink of a breakthrough.
Alisa knew she couldn’t waste this opportunity. So instead of standing up to question Lucian, she remained seated in the lotus position and focused inward.
Meanwhile, Lucian opened Alisa’s Status Panel.

“Only because of her comprehension, she have advanced this far,” he mused.
Then his gaze sharpened as he noticed Alisa’s new Innate Fate.
“She didn’t have this Nether Flame fate before,” he thought with surprise, “Is this related to the treasure she just absorbed?”
“How interesting!” Lucian’s eyes glinted, “I wonder what amazing Innate Fates mother and Isabella will receive when they establish their Heavenly Palace using the Heavenly Mist Orb!?”
A thought suddenly struck him, “Wait, I can check what new Innate Fate Iris got!”
He quickly opened Iris’s status panel, eager to see her transformation. But to his surprise, he didn’t notice any changes. Her Innate Fates remained the same as before.
“Perhaps she’s still going through her transformation?” he murmured, “The System did say the Heavenly Mist Orb was already changing her palace. It might take some time to fully manifest.”
As he closed the status panel, Lucian’s gaze fell on Alisa. Her aura was growing stronger by the minute as she meditated.
“It seems like Alisa’s breakthrough is going to take some time,” he thought to himself, “Well, nobody’s going to come here anytime soon.”
He stood up and adjusted his robe, “Might as well go and meet mother and Isabella. I miss them.”
He couldn’t help but lick his lips.
He walked towards the stone door and silently closed it behind him, making sure it was securely locked.
…
Meanwhile, at this moment, a cave abode’s door slowly opened and two beautiful women – one younger and one middle-aged – came out.
“Young miss, where do you want to go today?” the voluptuous middle-aged woman asked softly.
The blue-haired woman replied, “Let’s go to the market. That day I heard there will be an auction today. I wonder if I can finally find a good Cultivation Technique for myself.”
Both of them then covered their faces with veils to avoid attention. Even hidden, their stunning figures and noble auras were apparent.
As they walked, the younger woman’s asked in a longing voice, “Aunt Lyra, did you get any news on why did brother had not arrived yet?”
