Chapter 117: Ripples Across the Silent Pond
This very same event is currently happening across different places in the continent, some of them growing their worries as a genius with such an unprecedented strength like that never appears before, the testament of them being the accurate recordings and history books each power keeps as a reminder of the past.
What terrifies them the most is that this genius just come a couple of decades after the generation of who can be considered as the greatest talents to ever exist on the eastern continent, with his talent far exceeding Su Meiyao, titled Peerless Heavenly Goddess, the undisputed number one genius of her time, proving her might time and time again by showcasing her might and fighting opponents far older and stronger than her in terms of cultivation realm, the strength and smart she displays not only suppressing her peers but even the generation before them.
Her reign is short-lived though as her sect falls due to something, causing her to fall into obscurity and disappear into the backstage, now only being talked about when someone gazes at the name still sitting at the top of the Goddess Ranking, a well-known ranking created by the Heavenly Seers, an organization directly under the Heavenly Secret Tower.
This is also another point that made this new genius even more terrifying than Su Meiyao.
In addition to performing feats far transcending the ones the previous generation genius accomplished in her peak, the up-and-coming young man is also backed by a force far beyond the strength of Su Meiyao's sect, causing a heated discussion from all across the continent as almost all of the high-level factions rush to either try and befriend this young man or find a way to deal with him before he can start spreading his wings.
----------
In a city somewhere, there is a specific street filled with streetlights emitting a red hue, extremely visual scenes going wherever one's eyes moves as all sorts of women, men, and even beasts with humanoid features wearing extremely revealing clothing roams around the streets near establishments, hoping to lure in people that might empty their pocket for a night with them.
Amidst all the heated scenes filled with either sweet or repugnant scent, an establishment far larger than that of the others in the area stood imposingly, with all sorts of well-dressed people coming in and out of it, most of them being men, the ones entering accompanied by what normal people could consider beauties, while the ones leaving were being dragged on the ground by the very same group of beauties.
"You did a great job befriending him, Yu'er, but don't forget that men are just tools for us to use, nothing more than that" an old lady with wrinkled and clearly time withered face said while looking at a purple haired beauty in front of her, this lady's appeal far exceeding those of the women serving the people in the entrance.
"I understand, head matron, I know what I'm doing and what I am supposed to do" the lady replied with a solemn voice, as if she's really serious of what she says.
"Good, good, you're a good girl Yu'er, now, how's your opinion on being tied to that prince from the central province now?" the old woman asked with a smile on her face, appearing extremely wicked due to the lack of teeth in her mouth.
"I want to improve and cultivate more so that I can be worthy of that young master, head matron" the purple-haired young lady replied with a hint of eagerness in her voice, making the old woman smile even further as she looks with pride towards what she considers her greatest 'work'.
"Good, good, good, you may leave now, do whatever you want to improve yourself" the old woman said with glee in her voice as she chases the lady out of the room.
As she bows towards the old lady, the purple-haired beauty brings herself to the door, her expression changing from the respectful one she's sporting previously to a one filled with mockery as if she's saying 'Do you think I'm dumb or are you dumb?'
'That old witch, saying that men are just tool and then pushing me towards the very same creature' the purple-haired lady complains to herself as she starts walking away from the establishment, moving with swift steps towards a small clearing in the woods near the city, in the middle of it a pond filled with clear water reflecting the moon on its surface.
Taking her clothes off, she dipped into the cold water, humming as she swims in the water, before taking out a light projecting stone from her spatial ring, infusing her qi in it causing the image of an immortal-like young man to appear out of it.
"Su Tian~~~ I'll meet you later, hehe, get ready to have me as your woman as well~~" she said before she hugs the stone on her bountiful chest, then continues humming a joyful tune while relishing on the feeling of the cool water on her skin.
As she imagines the appearance of the young man from the light projection stone, she would never expect that countless years from now, she would look back into this moment, looking at the already mature face of that very same young man while thanking her lucky stars, thinking that she's extremely lucky not only to lay her eyes on this young man, but also to make him interested in her.

Meanwhile in another city, with mostly women going in and out of it, standing in the middle of it a giant tree almost reaching the sky, enough for it to be mistaken as the Sky Soul Star's World Tree if not for the unique aura world trees are giving off, something not present in this tree.
On the crown of the giant tree, all sorts of buildings completely made of wood are standing, either built directly on top of the tree of hanging on it, from them, women, all of them good looking, are moving all around, leaping from branch to branch nimbly and artistically as if it is innate to them to float in the air.
Despite their great appearance though, one among them clearly stood out from the rest, a cold-looking, phoenix-like lady moving towards the central area of the tree.
As the phoenix-like lady arrives at the center of the tree, she was greeted by two ladies wearing a guard uniform standing at a door directly carved from the tree. Opening it, the phoenix like lady enters a simple house carved directly from the insides of the tree, the furniture on it completely integrated on either this house's ceiling, floor or walls.
In the bed at the corner of the room, A woman that appears to be a mature version of the lady is sitting while reading a book, the glasses she's wearing increasing her adult appeal.
"Qing'er, you're back dear, how's your trip?" the mature woman asked with a patronizing smile on her face as she waves her hands, beckoning the lady to sit beside her.
"It's great mom… I-I found someone who can possibly cure you" the lady said, stuttering as she begins her second sentence.
"Hmm? Mind telling me who this person is dear?" the mature woman asked as she moves her hand again, this time pointing towards her lap, prompting the lady to lay her head on it.
"H-he's a friend" as she lay down with back on the bed and her head facing the ceiling, she couldn't help but get overwhelmed as the view is entirely blocked by a huge mass of flesh casting a shadow on her face.
Hearing her daughter's tone, the mature woman couldn't help but notice something odd, causing her to look down and try to direct her gaze towards her daughter's face, only being able to see a fraction of it due to her ample chest blocking her lovely daughter's face.
"My oh my, he's more than just a friend huh~?" she said with a teasing smile on her face causing the lady to be embarrassed, starting a full-blown happy banter between the two of them, lasting for quite a while before stopping while still on their previous position.
"I appreciate your concern dear, but if you already set your eyes on this young man, then mother won't force you or that lucky guy to help me solve my problem" the mature woman said while gently caressing the head of her daughter, surprising the lady as her mother would even sacrifice her own health just to ensure that her daughter won't have any problem with her romantic relationship.
Feeling the dedication in her voice, the lady couldn't help but be moved as time and time again, her mother shows just how much she cares for her.
Deciding something in her mind, she makes a choice that will lead not only her, but also her mother to a completely different path, something that they will look back on countless years into the future, a certainly great memory that they will cherish until the end of time.

"If mom don't mind, then I don't mind as well… just, if we were to have a chance… I-I want to be first…" the young lady said, her voice filled with confidence in the start but starts getting lower and lower as she continues, sounding like a buzzing mosquito at the end.
"Oh my, this little lady is thinking of something immoral huh~?" surprised at her daughter's idea, the mature woman's face couldn't help but turn red for a moment before she recovers, going on to tease the young lady again, causing the two of them to banter with each other while physically touching their bodies, trying to tickle each other while giggling from the other one's tickling.
After a while of playing around, both of them laid back on the bed, their appearance a bit disheveled but happy, the mature woman reaching out to pat the head of the lady while looking at her with a serious eye as she asked.
"Are you really sure with that, dear?"
Seeing her mother's look, the other lady smiled while still holding a determined gaze in her eyes as she replied, "Mhm, and anything you say won't change my decision mom"
Looking at her, the mature woman knew that she cannot change the mind of this daughter of hers, hence she just decided to go with a 'let nature take its course' approach, all while teasing the lady.
"So this soon to be husband of ours, would you mind showing your mother how he looks like?" she asked causing the lady's face to furiously blush.
----------
Meanwhile, the very same young man the two beauties were talking about is currently walking along an extremely detailed and well-crafted corridor, the monochromatic color of the surrounding doing nothing to hide the beauty of the craftsmanship invested into every inch of the floors and walls, as if it follows some sort of natural rule of nature.
Near him, a bearded middle-aged man as tall as him is walking slightly ahead of him, talking about all sorts of things as they move through the seemingly endless corridor, only stopping once they arrive in front of a door, seemingly normal looking when compared to everything they saw before they arrive here.
"Now brat, no matter what they say to you, just show them what you're capable of, they're definitely going to allow you access to what you want" the bearded middle-age man said while patting the back of the young man, his immortal-like appearance being revealed as light spilled out from the other side of the door the moment it starts opening.
