Another thing of note that occurred over the past 5 years, I had reached a pinnacle strength I could no longer exceed. My Cultivation had been pushed to absolute maximum for the realm I was at. In other words if I wanted to experience any further growth, I must break through to the next rank. This was one of the major points of discussion I had with Yang Kai during our talks.
Once the issues were resolved everyone would go back to performing their original duties. This included the four recently titled Great Emperors. These were the four students I had spoken with several years back. And as the years ticked forward they managed to make a name for themselves, and took on more responsibilities within the Cave Heaven. Most of these responsibilities were in relation to enforcing the well being of Star Boundary's inhabitants.
My little siblings had grown up quite a bit over the years as well, the youngest was 5 years old. And with their age came a desire to continue increasing the intensity of their cultivation training. Their growth was so impressive that my full blooded siblings, all three of them were in the dao source realm, each year separated them by an order. Yang Xingjuan was a Dao Source 3rd order, Yang Luan was a peak 2nd order, and my brother by the name of Yang Liang was actually a Dao Source 1st order. The rest of my siblings ranged from 3rd Order Origin Realms to 3rd order Origin Kings.
My wives were also making an abundance of progress at this point. The link we shared now directly had a passive benefit for them. One strong enough that my current wives were all rapidly approaching the necessary level they'd need to safely carry our offspring to term. Even so, they continued their cultivation practice in earnest. Each knowing that even with such a massive benefit from their beloved husband, it wouldn't be good enough to simply rely on such a benefit. The desire they had for children of their very own also had something to do with it.
On occasion there would be war meetings. Every time we had one, there were issues that needed to be resolved. But aside from those issues, they were just meant to be formal updates on the status of the preparations.
Life continued, and as I, now having more free time due to my cultivation being completely maxed out, spent time with my family whenever I got the chance. And soon, more time flew by and my father, Yang Kai, along with my mother, Su Yan, finally got around to the marriage proposals. Of course this was after another several years had passed, specifically, another 5 years.
In the main hall of High Heaven Palace, Yang Kai sat upon his throne with Su Yan making it clear she was the head wife with her place, the talks about marriage proposals began. A few masters came in with their disciples, in fact it was almost like the masters were the ones being dragged along most of the time.
"Hahaha! So eager for this audience I see." Yang Kai laughed, while I simply sighed.
"Husband, don't get too harsh just yet. This young woman seems like she really would be a good match. So long as she understands she'll be sharing our son with other women." SU Yan smiled, as she reminded Yang Kai that today was the day to stop holding the 2 forced marriages over my head.
"Father, please, make this as smooth as you can, I already know the day won't end without me having 2 more wives." I commented, trying to keep everything stable while reminding him there were only two women he could make me marry.
"I know, I won't go too crazy with it. It's just the stack here; it seems like it'll be difficult to get through without having them all join the family." Yang Kai smirked with that look like he was intending to do just that.
It was that moment when my body went into a cold sweat, I stood up quickly and remained silent. "It can't be…" I uttered.
"Don't worry about it too much son, I've already talked it over with your wives and they've already given the okay in the event such a thing happens. So there's no need to get so worked up about it." Yang Kai said, then he noticed the feeling I had. "Oh… That's not good…" He said putting the marriage offer to the side for the moment to think about what to do.
"Father… I think we've run out of time…" I said, balling up my fists. "Sound the alarm! Call Myriads 1 and 2 to begin deployment at once! There isn't any time to lose." I added with a commanding voice that carried throughout the 3000 Worlds.
~ No Return Pass ~
A 5th rank messenger appeared from the teleport gate, injured and barely holding on. The Dragon and Phoenix Guarding the teleport gate noted the human's condition.
"This doesn't look good…"
"Agreed…"
"Quick! The Ink Clan has mobilized a mighty force. There's 3 royal lords attacking our Mountain Pass!"
It was then that another figure appeared in an instant, out of nowhere, it was me. I casually walked and healed the messenger. "Don't worry, I expected they would launch a massive attack from the beginning. The Old Ancestors will hold out just long enough for me to arrive. And after myself, there will be many more reinforcements. So take a rest and recover your strength." I said with a smile. "That said, I'm surprised that the bastard managed to create such an intense strike force… He sent 3 royal lords to all of the mountain passes. This really is a hell of a predicament. I guess I should get started on whipping them all out, huh?" I added as I flew up and assumed my dragon form. Let's finish this up quickly. I'd like to go back home soon.
~ Star Boundary ~
The Myriads I had ordered to assemble for departure had finished their preparations in just a matter of a few minutes. They truly worked fast in their scramble. It was finally time for their departure, With thousands of Space Dao users making the final preparation, a massive spatial tunnel for rapid delivery to the battlefield. And while they did this, Yang Kai prepared himself to finish the activation when he noticed all of his children struggling to accept what was happening. A simple heart warming smile was all Yang Kai did in return, and then… The Myriads vanished through the spatial tunnel…
