Not to mention Sarah, the surrounding spectators were stunned after hearing such a low score.

Sarah looked at the test in disbelief. 'Huh? Two stars? How is that possible?'

She couldn't understand why she scored so low when understanding skills and cultivation until now has been extremely easy. 'Is the test broken?'

Normally, when a person comes across a ridiculous result, they try to blame outside factors. Sarah frowned and looked at the maid. "Is the test broken?"

The smiling maid turned serious. "Please, do not slander us. You have a total score of 62, so it's good enough to be treated as a genius. There is no reason to be upset that you have no comprehension skills."

Sarah frowned and waved her hand, summoning five elemental forces around her. "

The surroundings were stunned one more time.

"I have learned quintuple elemental skills in less than a week. Do you think that someone with low comprehension abilities can do so?"

The maid looked at Sarah coldly and waved her own hand, dispelling her energies with such ease that Sarah almost didn't realize that her skill was undone. "Miss, I don't care if you have understood a God skill in one second. The test is two stars, so you will receive two stars. If you want to change the score, come back next year and redo the test."

Sarah protested. "No, if the test malfunctions, isn't it normal to give me another chance?"

The maid became impatient and repeated. "The test has not malfunctioned."

Sarah frowned. "How do you know?"

The maid sighed and started the test on herself. One and a half seconds later, she passed the ten-second test, and the pillar shot up to 18 stars.

The people around began feeling numb at the absurd sequence of events.

The maid looked at Sarah and spoke. "Is this enough?"

Sarah's mouth opened. 'Eighteen stars!? Who the hell are these people?'

What people didn't know is that all the fifty maids had scores above 85 stars in the test.

Yasenia's personal maids were talents handpicked by Tatyana to serve her child.

Talents who went through such rigorous training that few survived, reducing their initial thousands down to 300 personal maids.

These three hundred women serving Yasenia during her childhood had enough talent to become the head of a powerful clan and individual powerhouses.

However, now, they were devoted to serving Yasenia and becoming her strength.

Sarah moved away from the test, still confused about it.

Meanwhile, Yasenia and our girls were similarly filled with confusion.

Evelyn asked. "The test didn't malfunction? It's really hard to believe."

Kali muttered. "How can someone as young and strong as her have so much potential and soul but no comprehension skills? With that kind of comprehension skill, entering the Unification Realm is practically impossible, not to mention reaching her current cultivation level while maintaining our speed."

Andrea nodded. "The treasure Tatyana invalidated must be an extremely powerful artifact. If people know about it, she will be hunted down by the entire cultivation World."

Angel smiled with a hidden glint in her eyes. "Mommy Tatyana, why don't we steal it and give it to Yasenia?"

Cecile agreed. "Something that powerful is worthy of my love."

Tatyana shook her head. "It's not possible. Besides superficially interfering with it, the thing in her is not something easy to touch or manipulate."

Yasenia decided to approach the sulking Sarah. "I'm going to say hello."

Angel hugged her arm and asked. "Why?"

Yasenia smiled and leaned down to peck her lips. "If she has such a powerful treasure, at least I want our relationship not to be strained. I don't want to deal with someone like her if she becomes our enemy."

Cecile snorted. "Isn't it better to just kill her if you are worried?"

Yasenia sighed. "What if we fail? Not only will we be opponents, we will become mortal enemies. Also, there is no need to kill everyone we are wary about. If we are like that, we will have to slaughter everyone. That's why I try to minimize enmity from everyone around besides taking a few calculated risks."

The girls blinked and then nodded. It seemed that their dragoness always looked at things a step further and deeper than them. They couldn't help but admire her.

Tatyana and the other two seniors didn't say anything.

Then, the dragoness descended alone and landed before Sarah.

Sarah was walking toward her harem when a sweet floral scent and profound aura appeared around her.

She looked up and saw the dragoness with Empyrean beauty slowly descending in front of her with a thin smile on her gorgeous face.

The long and elegant blue hanfu enhanced her elegant and modest classical beauty despite her curves, and her hairstyle made her look quiet and ephemeral, like a fairy from the heavens that might disappear the next second.

The dragoness's mellow and rich voice tingled Sarah's hearing sense. "Sixty-two stars and two twenty-star results. Our sect is delighted to welcome you, Sarah."

Sarah froze a bit, looking at the alluring dragon woman with complicated feelings.

It had been a few years since Yasenia ruthlessly told her away, so her feelings were mellowed. Now, seeing the beauty that sometimes crossed her mind, she couldn't help but feel her heartbeat accelerate. "H-Hello, Yasenia."

Then, she smiled a bit awkwardly. "Moreover, I scored just two stars in the last test, so..."

Yasenia smiled. "Don't worry. Comprehension is a matter of study added to natural talent. With a twenty-star potential, the thing you lack is probably time studying the energies of the World."

Yasenia sighed. "Also, I'm sorry for being too rude back then. I had a lot in mind and was very sensitive. That's not an excuse, in any case. You were probably hurt."

Sarah was surprised and nodded while scratching her cheek. "Yeah, no problem."

Yasenia asked, curious. "Did you already know that this is my sect?"

Sarah nodded. "I was surprised you arrived here, but yeah. I heard it by passing in the Holy Beast Empire Capital."

Yasenia hummed. "It is impressive that you have managed to hide... well. You know." The dragoness saw ten people approaching and blinked. 'Hm? The "thirteen-star" women?'

The petite one that Yasenia talked to before ran and buried herself in Sarah's arms. "Sarah! Don't worry about the small test."

Sarah's hand patted the black hair of the petite woman between her arms. "Thanks, Lea."

Lea laughed sweetly and kissed Sarah's chin. "No worries."

Yasenia's eyebrows raised. 'Ho ho? A harem? Hmm, I can sense six humans and four beast humans. Dog kin, Dragon kin, an avian race, and an amphibian one...'

Sarah, who saw her expression, was flustered. "A-Ah, this. Yasenia, they are my partners. Um... Yeah."

Yasenia looked at the ten women and saw a very mixed reaction. Jealous eyes, admiring eyes, shy eyes, angry eyes...

Yasenia's eye twitched when she saw one of them squirming. 'Hm? That dragon woman... Did she enter in Heat after seeing me? Cough, sorry, Sarah. It seems my scent hit her quite harshly.'

Yasenia ignored the dragon princess and smiled sincerely. "I'm glad you found people to love. I would feel a bit burdened if you still loved me since it was impossible between us from the start."

Sarah felt like a claw squeezing her heart, but she smiled through it. "Y-Yes. See you later. I hope you come to visit often."

Yasenia nodded. "I'm going. Oh, by the way, you can stay with your harem in the same building. I'll arrange it."

Yasenia flew upward and returned to her dears to continue supervising the test.

One of the tall women hugged Sarah's arm and spoke gently. "I'm glad you patched things up, love."

Another laughed and asked after smacking Sarah's shoulder. "Will that woman be our next sister? I can see that sister has quite a good opinion of her."

Sarah's lips twitched, and answered with a bitter tone. "Didn't you hear her?"

Lea blushed. "U-Um, if Sister Sarah wants to... I can help. L-Lady Yasenia is so beautiful that it makes my stomach flutter."

The dragon princess nodded quickly. "Yes, yes. Lady Yasenia is such a wonderful dragon. Her scent is delightful~."

Sarah looked at them a bit weirdly. 'Have they been seduced with just a look?'

One flat girl with horizontal pupils and green patches of skin and fins as ears snorted with a bit of resentment. "That's a walking disaster. She must attract bees and butterflies with those sacks of grass. Being her partner must be a pain in the ass."

Sarah was a bit stunned and coughed. "Let's stop speaking about her." Then, she smiled a bit awkwardly. "Also, didn't I tell you I don't plan to make the group bigger?"

A tall and voluptuous woman with feathered wings hugged her from behind, biting Sarah's ear. "Liar. You said the same when we were four. Look around you, dear. How many are we now?"

Sarah coughed, blushing a bit as she felt the woman's hand sneak into her clothes and tease her breasts. 'What can I do when women of this world are freaking seductive? Almost every woman would have been model-like back in my world. The men are also really nice with such perfect muscles, but... Somehow, I feel that it would be harder to gather men in a harem...'

Sarah realized that her steel pipe sexuality had been bent to the point of being a mosquito coil because of a certain dragoness, and she had embraced it a few years ago. She sighed. 'I didn't expect to be a victim of the bending I've seen in novels.'

A stern, tall, and well-built woman of the dog race patted Sarah's shoulder. "Don't be so awkward. You are an attractive woman, so you should be confident."

It was true that thanks to the system, her previous mortal beauty had transformed and become much higher.

After all, as a future harem goddess, the system would gradually make her as good-looking as possible.

Her brown hair was shiny, her honey-colored eyes had an enchanting depth, and her approachable beauty made one want to become close unconsciously.

Sarah sighed. "Let's go. We need to find our accommodation."

The tests continued for a while and ended a week later.

The total amount of people accepted was around 12,500.

There were about 700 mortals who would work on miscellaneous work while cultivating, changing into disciples when they broke through the first level.

Then, there were 8,000 outer disciples and 700 outer sect elders. Next, 2,500 inner disciples and 250 inner sect elders. Finally, 350 core disciples and 70 core sect elders.

Also, she accepted two Sky Elders. The highest-ranked elders were Sky, Astral, and Supreme Elders, with cultivation in the low-, mid-, and high-level of the Epoch Core Realm, respectively.

Meanwhile, during the last four years, thanks to Yasenia's treasures for cleansing bloodline and similar, quite a few high-level people entered her Astral Sky Clan.

The rumor of a few Ethereal Soul realm people breaking through thanks to her treasures and pills spread, giving her a lot of importance in the "high ranks" of the Distancia top powers.

They were all added to the sect, about 3,000 beast humans and 1,500 humans.

The humans would live in a region reserved for them, so they were not in the disciple-elder system.

Yasenia planned to slowly and gradually integrate humans, but it was a plan that would be slowly implemented during the next few decades.

Also, unlike the recently accepted disciples, the levels of the clan members were incomparable.

For starters, the clan members added twenty Sky Elders and four Astral Elders.

Just these twenty-four people were enough to outvalue the twelve thousand that entered her sect.

They were divided like this: Twelve lamias, including Luscia, Fascia, and Drasha, eight harpies, Ghana and Hanna being two of them, and four lobster-kin, Finnegan continuing to be one of them.

Coraline, Ebirah's mother, didn't mind "losing" a few of her subordinates. Tengliu was of the same sentiment.

High-ranking powers had quite a few Epoch Core cultivators. Losing four was similar to cutting a nail off. Painful, but not detrimental.

Speaking of Tengliu, the harpy used many methods and connections during the last few years to help Yasenia spread her power.

Yasenia was still thinking of punishment, but after Tengliu used so many means to help her, the harshness of the punishment was naturally reduced. Of course, she would punish her. Not doing anything after almost being forced was not something Yasenia could swallow, but she also recognized that Tengliu was honest in her apology.

One thing was being vengeful, and another was being petty and narrow-minded enough not to understand that forgiving was an option if nothing happened.

For example, "almost being killed" is very different from "Being Killed."

I digress.

The names of those four Astral Elders in the middle level of the Epoch Core realm were Luscia, Drasha, Finnegan, and a harpy named Aviana.

This harpy was a combatant and was Cecile's second in command. Not because she was weaker but because Yasenia was biased and didn't want her dears to be below someone.

Then, there were 250 Core Elders and 700 Core Disciples. The rest were in the inner sect, with 1050 Inner disciples and 500 Inner Elders.

Finally, the fifty maids were divided into 7 Supreme Elders, 15 Astral Elders, and 28 Sky Elders, making a horrifying lineup. Remember that all the maids were extreme geniuses in their own right, making these numbers even more terrifying.

This made for a total of 700 mortals, 8,000 outer disciples, 700 outer sect elders, 3,550 inner disciples, 750 inner sect elders, 1050 core disciples, 330 core sect elders, 50 Sky Elders, 19 Astral Elders, and 7 Supreme Elders.

Altogether, around fifteen thousand people with enough combat power to be proudly called a first-rate sect assembled under Yasenia's [Astral Sky Sect] banner.

What led after that was work.

Yasenia was swamped with administrative work, minor conflicts arising in the sect, and similar problems. Thus, for the next month, she didn't sleep and had to cut down the cuddle time with her dears to the minimum to avoid losing cultivation time.

Angel and the girls visited and helped her a lot during this time, opening a bit of time in their own schedule to accompany their dragoness in her Sect Master room.

The month went by quickly, and when Yasenia thought she had finally finished sorting everything up, someone came to her door with an urgent message.

Our dragoness sighed. 'Finally, everything is more or less done.'

She stretched with a smile, and the door was suddenly opened with a nervous harpy entering.

Ghana said a bit hastily. "Sect Master, around twelve thousand beasts are waiting outside to meet you. They say they know you and want to join our Sect!"

Yasenia was frozen mid-stretching, and her eyebrow began twitching. 'Twelve thousand? Twelve thousand more people?'

Angel was on her lap and laughed when she saw Yasenia's expression. "Yasenia, it seems that there is more work to do."

Yasenia looked at Angel with a pampered gaze, kissed her little mouth, and tickled her. "Oh? Is my baby making fun of me?"

"Hahahah! Stop, mph! Yasenia! Hahaha!"

Yasenia looked at the laughing and squirming cutie and hugged her tightly to recharge the batteries. "You must stay by my side to give me energy, okay, baby?"

Angel smiled sweetly and hugged her neck, kissing Yasenia lovingly. "Yes!"

Ghana, at the side, smiled softly. The love between Yasenia and the girls always made her feel warm inside.

Yasenia smiled at Ghana. "Let's go."

Ghana nodded.

They all flew outside and arrived before the army of beasts.

Author: Let's go directly to the question today. I summon you!

WPOmega: Hello!

Kali: Hello, what question do you have today?

WPOmega: Well, Are the heavenly Tribulations beneficial to the environment in which they fall? Would a ton of tribulations falling in the same area cause that area to have more energy naturally over time?

Tatyana: In my knowledge, they are.

Valeria: Yes. They might be destructive, but after destruction, plants and minerals absorb the remaining heavenly energy and evolve to become stronger.

Mirrory: Hm. The more tribulation falls, the higher this evolution. That's why a few sects in the higher realms have a specialized place for cultivators to break through.

WPOmega: Oh? That's interesting!

Author: And this is all for today~. Bye-bye~.
