One month later

'I have already broken through the ninth level and the half-step and have enough energy to do the last charge and enter the Body Modification realm. The problem is the phantoms of the inheritance. The heavenly tribulation will also get stronger no matter how strong I become. Here is the dilemma, being stronger before a major advancement will make you stronger, in the long run, so weakening myself before the tribulation will backfire....'

After thinking for a while, she said, "Well, if the Heavenly tribulation will become deadly no matter how strong I am. I rather become the strongest I can on each realm, right?"

After deciding that, she went toward a nearby maid and said, "Tell my mother and Dr. Ava that I will enter close-door cultivation and gather all the energy I can before advancing."

The maid bowed and answered, "Yes, miss!".

Yasenia put on her kimono and sat in her cultivation room as the sunset approached. Because of her need for light from the sky, the room walls and roof were made of glass! This glass had enchantments and formations to help gather energy.

She didn't cultivate in an open space because the rain and wind would hinder her cultivation in the Dantian and Merdian creation realm. She needed absolute concentration while creating her meridians. This time she didn't want to stop until reaching advancement.

Three days later, clouds started to gather atop Yasenia's cultivation room. The staff of the house, feeling the change in the atmosphere, got into action like a well-oiled machine. They formed a perimeter around Yasenia's room and took out their weapons.

Oliver was already grown-up and three years older than Yasenia; with a 178cm tall body, he inherited his father Richard's build, being neither too muscular nor too slim. His eyes were like his mother's with a piercing blue color.

Although he has also entered the cultivation path, his tribulation has been ordinary, and his attributes are incomparable to that of Yasenia's, being Ice and Water.

He was at the third level of the Body Modification realm. His second tribulation had three regular lighting strikes, which was challenging for him. When he heard that Yasenia received three strikes and the strikes were as powerful as his when reaching a higher realm, he transformed into the number one fan-boy of Yasenia.

Now sensing the strength of the tribulation cloud, he couldn't help but swallow. His mother, Dr. Ava, who was near him, looked at him with an amused face. 'Let's see how he reacts when the seniors appear.'

As Dr. Ava said, when the bicolor clouds finished gathering, the phantoms of the two seniors appeared, sending pressure to every living being within a 10 km radius.

They sensed the energy gathered by Yasenia and felt that it was the maximum possible; the female senior spoke in praise with a smile on her face. "I see that our threat didn't weaken your will. Remember, in the cultivation path, there aren't shortcuts! Although I can't reward you for having a firm heart, know that you have my support from now on!"

The male, however, didn't seem to be completely satisfied. "Your heart is indeed firm against adversity, but remember that tragedy is also a big step that most cultivators can't overcome. The loss of a loved one, the loss of a teacher or a friend. Having your treasures stolen or being isolated from your group because of differences in birth conditions. Remember, even when any of this happens, having a clear mind and not rushing blindly in the cycle of revenge and hatred is what makes a cultivator's heart truly strong!"

Every single person listening to his word couldn't help but have a realization! All of them, including Yasenia, bowed and said, "Thank you, senior, for your guidance!"
