Elder Ning's face twitched as he raised his head and quickly stood up. When Kana saw the look on his face, she grinned from ear to ear. "I was just kidding about the poo."

"You little girl!" Elder Ning really wanted to scold the little girl! But when he saw her smiling face, he decided to give up. But he had to say this nervousness was all gone now.

"Haha! It is good to be young. You are Kana's elder in the sect she is in, if I am correct?" The old man asked as he sipped his tea.

"Yes, I am your excellency." Elder Ning lowered his head, not daring to look the old man in the eye.

"Good. Since that is the case." The old man waved his hand, and Bell, Sara, Tim, and Ganjo all appeared in the room. "Hmmm? Where is this? Mama!?" Bell yelled out.

"I sent a message to Eie and Tri'an. They will look after the ship with the robot girl." The old man explained lightly before continuing. "I have thought about it. And Kana, your husband here, helped me make my final decision. While each of you are powerful in your own way, you are still not strong enough as is. Even if you reach the sea of stars with the powers you are cultivating, you will still not be strong enough. That is why…."

The old man looked at Elder Ning with a smile. "Elder Ning, I would like you to take Kana's family under your wing and teach them how to cultivate."

"Huh? What is going on? They are not cultivators?" Elder Ning was very confused. He had no idea how these powerful people were not cultivators.

"No. Including little Kana here, each one of them has strength belonging to a different power. They are just as powerful or more than any on this world, even in your higher planes. But once I release my power that is keeping the heavenly laws of this world from suppressing their strength, they will be no different than a mortal, just like how Kana was when she first arrived. That is why I wish for them to train on this world, in a place where they will need to start from scratch. Kana already has a head start, and they will need to take time to catch up but knowing this group, they will catch up quickly. Especially these three." The old man pointed to Bell and her kids. Each one was a vampire with different body structures.

"These three are unique. And because of this uniqueness, they will be able to rise in strength faster than the others. They will not be able to cultivate in a normal way." The old man waved his hand, and three cups of blood appeared in the air and floated over to Bell, Tim, and Sara. "Drink this."

Bell and her kids took the cups and stared at it. Bell looked at her mother, who was looking at the old man in disbelief. "Wait!" Kana finally yelled out.

"Old man, can you explain things to me? Are you saying…. Are you saying, I will not need to be separated from my family!?" Kana's eyes were welling up with tears. She hoped this was not a dream. She truly hoped that she could be with her family from now on. She did not care if she was stuck on some cultivation world, she just wished to be with her family no matter what.

"That I am, but this does not mean you can go against the promise you made before. You must still reach Aurora. You still have your sister that you need to resurrect after all. I will give you a one thousand year deadline. Otherwise, I will disperse your sister's soul along with her lover." The old man's tone was firm. While he did not wish to use such a tactic, he needed Kana to continue her quest for strength no matter what.

Kana's eyes turned cold, but she knew she could not win a fight against this old man. "Yana, sheath your sword."

Yana, who was standing at the side, had already unsheathed her sword and was about to attack when Kana stopped her. "But Mama, this bastard!"

"It's fine. I understand why he is saying this." Kana gritted her teeth. She did not wish for Ceilie to disappear, not when she had the chance to bring her sister back to life. The damn old man was making use of her familial love to make sure she continued her quest for strength. "Creige!"

Creige aura was swirling around him, causing the entire house to shake. "Old Man, I thought differently of you, but then you go and do something like this!"

"It is fine if you hate me, but I have my reasons. Now then." The old man ignored the death glares of Kana and her family and looked at Bell. "You three drink that."

"Mama?" Bell was still unsure of what she should do, and her kids were waiting on Bell's approval.

"Drink it. If something happens to you that is not beneficial, I will use my life to protect you." Kana clenched her fists. Aoi and the other elementals could all feel her complex feelings.

Bell took a deep breath and downed the cup of blood, her children following suit. As soon as they did, the cups fell to the floor with a clatter as they all yelled out in pain. Kana panicked and ran over to Bell as she yelled out: "Old Man, what the hell did you do to my babies and grandbabies!?"

"Relax. Their bodies are changing slightly. It is all in order to allow them to cultivate. You, more than anyone, know that the path of cultivation is not easy and is walked upon a path of pain and blood. Each one of your children will also need to walk this path. You can not stay by their side holding their hand, or they will not progress. This is why I am allowing you to be with them because this is a world where you can not sit around and do nothing." The old man stood up and waved his hand, pulling Kana away from Bell and her kids. Kan was so furious that her blood was boiling. Fire was spewing from her mouth with each breath. Her death element was swirling around her body wildly.

"Old Man, I swear if this harms my child, I will muph…." Kana's words were cut off when she suddenly realized her entire body couldn't move.

"I said this is to allow them to cultivate. Are you planning on leaving your kids behind?"
