The travel back to the Wolfstein castle was quite silent, since Alice and Aria were sleeping with happy satisfied expressions in their faces, making Aster sigh.
"These two princesses, leaving me all the work while they sleep so freely, I will have to punish them later", mumbled Aster.
After climaxing to their heart's contents, both Alice and Aria fell in a profound sleep, leaving everything in Aster's hands.
Which he didn't mind, he cleaned their bodies and placed them in a bed he had in his spatial ring as he tugged them with a blanket.
For a moment he was tempted to pay a "visit" to Rya, but she after sneaking a peek to the mind space he didn't see her in the highest point of Hyperion like usual, so she was probably meditating inside the sword and he didn't want to interrupt her.
The spaceship had the coordinates of the Azure Sky planet, more specifically the area above the Wolfstein castle, so Aster didn't really have to do anything.
"What a shame I didn't bring mom or Eris and Mylene… whatever let's kill some time", he mumbled.
There was a couple of things he wanted to try while being in the outer space, but doing it without the supervision of a cultivator above the star tribulation realm was a bad idea, while he might survive thanks to the golden armor, it was better safe than sorry.
Those below the mortal transcending realm can't use spirit energy to replace oxygen after all, in any case he waved his hand and summoned the soul weapon which now had a grip of about eight centimeters besides the original pommel with dragon engravings.
Aster couldn't help but frown, judging by the patterns on the grip, it was only about halfway done, so that meant when it's completed it will be a double handed longsword or something along the lines of that.
In the little spar he had with Alice and Aria he didn't use the soul crushing parade, as it could have actually hurt them since its not a technique derived from the stars, also it would have been kind of difficult to hit them with just the incomplete hilt of a sword.
After making sure the girls were comfortable sleeping in the captain's cabin, Aster walked towards the center of the spaceship, although it wasn't that big there was an empty space of about twenty square meters.
"This should be fine for now", thought Aster as he pointed with his hand at the right.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Whooosh!", the hilt of the soul weapon immediately followed his command and shoot itself towards the right.
Unfortunately, Aster didn't properly calculate the distance and the thing couldn't stop in time, instead of that it kept advancing and passed through the wall of the spaceship disappearing from Aster's field of vision.
"Damn, I forgot it's only an accumulation of soul energy".
Since the sword isn't physical the thing went through the wall like nothing, but that also reminded him that even in Prasil they didn't know about soul cultivation, or the spirit formations engraved on the spaceship would have offered resistance against a soul attack.
Aster moved his hand backwards and the incomplete hilt flew in reverse, appearing in front of him after a split of a second.
A smirk appeared in Aster's face as he started moving his hands in all directions, making the incomplete hilt "dance" in the air, with each command his movements became more precise and the error factor diminished.
…
After about two hours Aster was laying on the ground with his face covered in sweat.
"I guess I need to meditate to increase my soul energy", he said as he gasped for air, Aster's nature wasn't quiet, he enjoyed the battle and the feeling of exploring and discovering new things about this world of cultivation.
So, meditation is something he didn't really like to do, and so far, it wasn't needed as he could advance just by absorbing spirit energy, unfortunately the soul path didn't work in the same way as the energy path.
Rigel's flames could purify his soul energy making it heavier and richer compared to others, and that's why he could actively command the incomplete hilt for a couple of hours, let alone two hours, if any other recently ascended spirit opening realm cultivator would have tried that for thirty minutes without any rest like he did… the result would have been death due to exhaust.
Rya who just finished her meditation, was now laying on their bed as she giggled, at the little frustrated expression Aster had on his face.
"You know, others would curse you if they knew you are complaining about just being able to use soul energy for two hours straight, right?".
Aster shrugged as he got up the ground.
"I can feel I'm not taking advantage of the soul constitution Sarina got for me, there is something I'm missing but I can't pinpoint what it is".
Rya was speechless, "You got it a couple of days ago, of course you haven't integrated it yet", she thought before saying.
"Don't exert yourself too much, just like the paragon body, you'll learn its uses and tricks with some time, instead of that focus on increasing your soul energy meditation is the base of cultivators… unless you are lucky enough to find a dual cultivation technique which also nurtures the soul, but considering the level of this plane there shouldn't be something like that here".
Aster frowned, Rya didn't have dual cultivation techniques, in fact apparently although she had incredible things like the soul crushing parade, she couldn't access all of them, or at least that was his deduction.
Also, for some reason she couldn't give them to anyone besides Aster, and although he could show them to the star maidens, they couldn't learn them, Aster tried to hand Aria the soul crushing parade after he took ownership of it, but it was futile, she didn't go into the "training space" no matter what he did.
Aster suddenly felt the spaceship stopping and he returned to the captain's cabin, the two sleeping beauties were already up, not only that they were happily chatting with each other like good sisters.
The scene made a big smile appear in Aster's face.
"Dress up you two, we arrived just in time for the dinner", he said as he deactivated all the spirit formations of the spaceship.
Alice and Aria exchanged smiles as they put some clothes on before the three of them left the spaceship, Aster kept it in his spatial ring and they all descended landing on the rooftop of the Wolfstein castle.
Camila already told the guards beforehand, so no one made a fuss about it, luckily Aster and the girls took a bath in the pond before returning, because as they went downstairs to the dining room, they heard soft laughs and different people's voices.
Among them Aria recognized her father and her new "mother" as well as her uncle Sebastian.
As they opened the door of the dining room, they were welcomed by a festive atmosphere, the place was decorated and there were tables with lots of different dishes, Camila, her aunt and uncle were talking with Arthur and Sebastian, while Sarina and Kana were chatting with Nadia.
Lilia on the other hand was having some kind of conversation with Eris and Mylene, which made Aster smile, his mother doesn't get along with strangers, the only ones which with she actively interacted used to be he and Alice.
But now that the family has gotten larger, she seems to be a bit more talkative.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAria gazed at Aster before she went with her father, they will be leaving tomorrow so she wanted to spend some time with Arthur before that.
Alice went with Lilia, but surprisingly Aster followed Aria as he also had a couple of things to discuss with Arthur.
Arthur saw his daughter and Aster coming their way and he greeted them.
"Good evening you two, I was starting to think you were not going to return today".
Aster smirked understanding what his father-in-law was suggesting, he wrapped his arm around Aria's waist before saying.
"Aria wanted to have one last date in this galaxy before we left, so we went to the iron mountain planet, if you receive a complain from the Kraft family, tell them it was me".
Arthur was speechless.
"This brat is flirting with Aria in front of me", he thought, but as he was about to get back at him, he saw his playful smirk and then remembered the pain he had on his lap after being tackled down by Nadia in his studio, due to Aster playing a joke on him.
Aria giggled happy that her man got along with her father, something not common given the conservative culture of this world.
Ultimately Arthur didn't say anything, in fact he instead sighed realizing he won't be seeing them for a long time, if he ever sees the again that is.
"Brat, it's going to be boring without you two around".
Aster shook his head, he also had a good impression of Arthur, so far half of the fathers he has met were scum, Isaac and Robert, while the other half were decent people, Arthur and Sylas.
He took a glass of wine from one of the tables and rose it towards all the people in the room before toasting.
"Let's not think about the future, all the people here are either friends or family, tonight let's enjoy our present".
"Cheers!", said everyone as they rose their ow drinks marking the start of this little farewell party.
