Theing-of-age ceremony usually ended with the child-turned-adult facing their first tribtion. However, Estre''s body had yet to maturepletely. Breaking through before full maturity could be a problem, so until someone stopped growing and experienced internal changes, they would avoid starting the cultivation path.


    Some were doubtful, viewing these practices as ancient traditions that didn''t make sense in the present day and age. Still, when people forced their children to break through before they became mature enough, idents would usually happen either because the Tribtion Lightning was too strong or because the children were not developed enough to absorb so much energy into their young bodies.


    So, while today was Estre''s 18th birthday, she didn''t attempt to step into the Second Body Cultivation Realm.


    By the end of the ceremony, Estre stood at the entrance, sending off the guests with a smile. All the guests cheered her up with encouraging words like. "Don''t worry, you will be able to break through soon." Or "I can''t wait to see how far you will go in the cultivation realms."


    After everyone left, Estre stood in front of the door. She felt a pair of arms going around her waist as softness pressed against her back. Looking sideways, she saw Yasenia smiling and looking at her. "How was it, love?"


    Estre smiled happily. "Better than I expected. The seniors were very generous and gave me a lot of things. Moreover, I can tell that they were honest when they evaluated me. So, I am quite hopeful for the future."


    Yasenia chuckled and kissed her cheek. "That''s my girl. Estre, remember that while your sisters might be ahead of you, that doesn''t mean that you are less, okay? You are, before anything, my child." Yasenia looked deeply into Estre''s eyes. "Do you understand that?"


    Estre turned around and snuggled in Yasenia''s arms. "I understand, Mommy. Thank you."


    "Good girl." Yasenia caressed her head andughed faintly, separating from Estre a bit. "You are already so tall."Estre was slightly shorter than Yasenia, but not by much; their eyes were practically at the same level. Estre smiled. "Perhaps I''ll grow more~, hahaha."


    Yasenia snorted. "Are you trying to be like your sister, Dawn? She is already taller than me! Are you all trying to ovee me or something?"


    Estre raised her eyebrows very simrly to how Yasenia did. "Don''t tell me you didn''t know? Be careful, Mommy. If you rx, we will catch up!"


    Yasenia smiled defiantly. "Oh? Do you dare challenge me? Tsk, tsk, this mother of yours has left behind everyone that I''ve ovee, so you are challenging someone who has yet to be beaten!"


    Estre smiled back. "There is always a first."


    Yasenia tiptoed and kissed her forehead. "Great answer. Now, baby, I can tell that you are tired. So, go to sleep."


    Estre looked at Yasenia and asked, her face a bit shy. "Um, Mommy… Can I sleep together with you and Mama Tatyana today?"


    Yasenia smiled and grabbed her hand. "Of course! Today, you are the boss girl!"


    Both of them walked toward Yasenia''s room and entered. Tatyana was already inside, waiting for Yasenia while reading a book. Looking up, she smiled and asked. "Oh? Aren''t you quite big to ask to sleep with us~?"


    Yasenia scolded. "She will never be old enough! If she wants to, I can cuddle her for a thousand years!"


    Estre nodded and supported her dragon mother. "Right, right! You should listen to your wife, Mama!"


    Tatyana clicked her tongue. "So spoiled~."


    Estre climbed onto the bed, but she was caught by Yasenia''s tail by the waist. "Little miss~, I know you are eager, but we should take a bath before going to bed and change intofortable clothes. Come,e."


    Estre blinked twice while being carried away by her mother''s tail. "Um… We will bathe together?"


    Yasenia clicked her tongue. "What? Can''t I have some mother-and-daughter bath time? Stop being shy!"


    Tatyana chuckled and stood up, walking right after them.


    "Waah!" A few momentster, Estre flew after being thrown by Yasenia, sshing onto therge bath that was more simr to a hot spring.


    Estre surfaced above the water, using her hands to part her ck hair. "Why did you throw me?"


    Yasenia slowly entered the water with a towel around her voluptuous body andughed. "Don''t tell me a little fall like that hurt you? I don''t remember raising such a frail daughter!"


    Estre looked at Yasenia''s figure and couldn''t help but be sincerely impressed. "What did you eat to be like that, Mommy?"


    Tatyana answered with a smile. "A Transcendent Ranked [Beauty Pill] while she was still at the Third Realm. The pill basically enhanced all her qualities, including her alreadyrge breasts."


    Yasenia looked down and sighed. "Thankfully, they are just big enough not to bother me while fighting. Right at the limit. To be honest, wielding daggers or other simr weapons sometimes is bothersome."


    Estreughed. "Is that why you userge weapons with broad striking motions?"


    Yasenia raised her eyebrow. "You dareugh? Some female dragons have a serious problem because they are just too busty! It''s not something tough at!"


    Tatyana and Estre burst intoughter.


    The dragoness leaned back with a smile and she asked. "So, Estre, why a Scythe? I have tried them in the past, but they feel somewhat limiting. A broadsword is like a scythe, but better."


    Estre blinked. "It looks cool."


    Tatyana and Yasenia deadpanned. Tatyana asked, confused. "That''s all?"


    Estre nodded. "That and because I find it quitefortable. Dual longswords are more or less at the same level offortableness, but the Scythe just… clicked." She exined. "When using weapons, I usually have an instinct on how to use them and move with them. Yet, when I picked up the scythe, more like an instinct, it was like a voice in my head was telling me how to move."


    Yasenia blinked. "That''s quite nice. I don''t have that."


    Tatyana agreed with augh. "Something like that would''ve saved me quite a few centuries on learning sword arts, haha."


    Estre tilted her head. "Really?"


    The dragoness snorted. "Why would I lie?" Then, she waved her hand. "Anyway,e here, I''ll wash your hair."


    Estre swam forward, approaching her mother, and smiled. "Okay~."


    The bath was rxing, and Tatyana and Yasenia spent it asking Estre about the years they missed and other things. Hearing Estre talk happily about everything made both of them feel a sense of calm and satisfaction.


    After the bath, they put onfortable nightwear and went to bed. Tired from the long and busy day, Estre yawned. Yasenia and Tatyana smiled, and Tatyana asked, "Say, Estre, are you happy?"


    Estre nodded with a big smile. "I am. I love you, Mama. I love you, Mommy."


    Tatyana hummed andmented. "Estre, how much do you know about us?"


    Estre blinked and looked between them. "I know that my Mommy is the Sect Master of the strongest sect in the World. Then… Hm?" Estre looked at Tatyana and asked, puzzled. "What do you usually do, Mama?"


    Tatyanaughed faintly. "Do you want to know a bit more about me?"


    Estre nodded, and Tatyana pondered. "How about I start with my position?"


    "Okay~."


    Then, Tatyana dropped a bomb. "I am known as the [Death Empress] in the Sky Continent, your Mommy''s birthce. My cultivation realm is also very highpared to everyone here."


    Estre blinked a few times, confused. "Huh? Isn''t the Sky Continent a ce where Transcendent Realm seniors roam quite freely all over the ce?"


    Tatyanaughed. "Yes, and yet I am one of the strongest people there."


    "Hm…" Estre was confused. "I don''t understand. Aren''t you a peak-level fifth realm cultivator?"


    "Well, that''s true for this body of mine. My main body is back in the Sky Continent, breaking through."


    Estre rubbed her forehead. "Ha? I don''t understand."


    Yasenia chuckled. "The Tatyana in front of you is your mother''s second body. A single mind controls both, by the way. Don''t worry about having been raised by a fake Tatyana or anything."


    Estre looked between them and then flopped backward onto the pillow, looking at the ceiling. "... This is so much to process."


    Tatyana hummed. "Then, telling you that I am Yasenia''s mother might be too much."


    Estreughed. "That I already knew about. Mommy has slipped and called you Mom from time to time."


    Tatyana raised her eyebrow. "Oh? It doesn''t bother you?"


    The young dragon woman asked, puzzled. "Why should it? It''s not like your love is valued less because of that. Anyone who has seen the love you both share would be stupid to think that it is a bad thing."


    Yasenia smiled. "But remember that it is not correct in most cases, love. There are someplications if incest happens before the fifth realm."


    Estre snorted. "I''ve already been taught of that! Don''t worry." Then, she added with a smile. "I still have a lot to process, but thank you both for being truthful about these things."


    Yasenia and Tatyana smiled, and each of them nted a kiss on her cheeks. Yasenia used her tail to coil around both of them andmented. "Now, love, sleep. If you ever have a question about anything, ask us."


    Estre closed her eyes with a hum and quickly fell asleep.


    After Estre''sing-of-age ceremony, the other children''s turn arrived quickly. Unlike Estre, though, some of them actually went through the tribtion because they were mature enough. The ones that did were the human-born children, Dawn, Aurelia, and Skye.


    First, it was Aurelia''s turn. Aurelia was the second eldest, followed by Skye and Dawn.


    After the ceremony, Aurelia was apanied by Angel and Yasenia. The child had grown into a gorgeous woman. Her hair took after Angel, disying a gorgeous blonde color that looked like gold threads. Her golden slit eyes and white skin made her look like a holy woman.


    While her height was nearly 164 centimeters tall, slightly taller than Angel''s, she was on the shorter side of the family. Of course, with Angel and Yasenia as parents, being short didn''t stop her from having a body of sin. Her curves were pronounced enough to give vertigo to anyone looking.


    Looking at her serious face, Aurelia''s presence had a certain weight and authority beyond her beauty. Even with her body, a look from her might make those lustful think twice before acting.


    Aurelia looked up at Yasenia and asked, her tone calm and serious. "Mommy, do you think I can ovee my tribtion? I will be breaking through into the Spiritual Path, right?"


    Yasenia smiled. "Don''t worry, love. You are very strong. You will first breakthrough into the Meridian and Dantian Creation Realm. Then, remember that you need to cultivate the Spiritual path to the limit, and when you reach the half-step, you will break through both the Body and Spiritual paths at once. The Tribtion will be stronger than usual. However, the benefits are many and well worth the risk."


    Aurelia asked. "Even if I have a higher risk of dying?"


    Yasenia leaned down to kiss her forehead and said. "Aurelia, you are very clever. However, remember this and remember it well. Sometimes, we need to not look at things so rationally and use our instincts. Gamble if you feel sure of a result; that''s not being irrational, but instead being confident."


    Aurelia pondered and nodded. "Okay, Mommy."


    Angel spoke softly. "Aurelia, you are talented and strong. Do as usual, and not even Heaven will be able to stop you." Then, she grabbed her hand and guided her toward the teleportation formation. They needed to be in Distancia to break through, after all.


    Yasenia spoke while seeing them leave. "I will be watching, Aurelia. Good luck."
