Rise of the Cosmic_Emperor

Chapter 449 - Out Of Seclusion.



One week later...

During which, Nicole, Jelena, Vanya, and Delaney isolated themselves from the world while refining the essence Hal had dumped inside them during that passionate night.

The results at the end of the week were so surprising that they wondered if they were not imagining it.

All three had advanced a stage higher in their cultivation... After that one session.

Such a thing had never happened to them, and they were pretty sure most would count it as impossible should it be heard.

Once they had stabilized their advancement and were craving the touch of their man who they knew they were linked to, body and soul, the four finally rejoined society.

Only to discover that Hal, Emily, and Amelia were missing.

It had been a week and no one had seen any of them. Even Rita and Karmen who were with Hal were missing as well and it was thus easy to conclude that they were all together.

Where they were was the stumper.

Anton and his sons were far from worried as they could easily guess what the cause of the disappearance was. 

When they were done, they would surely return to the outside world was what they concluded.

However, when they began to receive visits from an individual they couldn\'t possibly ignore, it became a bit lore paramount to find them and at least inform Hal that the Patron of the Doxon family, the Ex-duke of the Doxon Duchy wished to speak with him.

Kirill had had a seat down with his daughter which had gone a little like this:

"Why... Why didn\'t you tell me he could cultivate?" The Doxon Patron had asked in a deep menacing voice that would normally cause many to tremble in fear.

For Svetlana however, it seemed to her as though her father was throwing a fit over nothing, 

"And that would have made a difference?" She had asked.

"When he turns out to be a cultivating genius, yes, it makes a Difference" Kirill had said.

"Oh really? Cause I remember quite clearly that just being born of a Silva was enough of an insult to the Doxon name" Svetlana had pointed out, 

"Well, that hasn\'t changed. It\'s still an insult. But one I am very ready to overlook in face of accomplishments" Kirill had retorted.

"Accomplishments? You know nothing about him!" 

"He can cultivate when I was certain he could not. I checked him myself, Lana. His meridians were damaged. And somehow they are now healed. I think that counts as an accomplishment. Besides, when all is said and done, he remains my grandson" The Doxon Patron had said in the calmest voice he could muster.

Svetlana rolled her eyes, 

"Oh spare me. So because he can now cultivate, all of a sudden he\'s important to you? Now he\'s your grandson? How two-faced can you get?" She said with her voice raised a tiny bit.

There had been a brief moment of silence before Kirill chuckled, 

"Oh yes, my dear daughter, I AM two-faced, especially when I finally have hope and don\'t have to rely on those two dingbats born of bigger dingbats and disappointments to further the Doxon legacy.

When I don\'t have to look to the branch families to find someone who will uplift the Doxon family prestige, yes, in these situations, I will be Two-faced when I have to be"

Svetlana then told him where she knew Hal to be staying during his time in the Doxon Duchy.

So he had been seeking Hal since then but whenever he came, the young man was nowhere to be found and he was getting impatient.

Unfortunately, as he had no idea where Hal was and with his wild ranged powerful saint senses useless in locating Hal who seemed to not even be in the Duchy at all, he could only wait till he showed up.

In the meantime, he took precautions to make sure that if Hal ever showed up at any teleportation circle in the Doxon Duchy, he would be held there while he (Kirill) would be contacted immediately.

Essentially, as long as it involved Hal, the Duchy was on lockdown.

Even then, Hal did not turn up for another week afterward, and only at the end of the second week after the events in the Garden of Perils did he exit the Harem space.

In the Harem space, it had been twenty weeks (Five months) and it had been time which Hal and the ladies put to good use.

He had added more drops to his climb towards advancing to the Cosmic Aurora realm while the ladies had seen advancements in cultivation.

Even more so since Hal was available for dual cultivation at any time of the day.

Amelia and Karmen had advanced to the Cosmic Phenomenon realm and were at the early and mid-stages respectively.

Rita had advanced to the late stage of the Cosmic Phenomenon realm and was very close to advancing to the peak stage.

Lillian and Olivia were at the Late and mid-stage of the Cosmic Phenomenon realm respectively with Lillian having had more of a headstart as she had been in the Early stage of the Cosmic Phenomenon realm even before Hal brought her into his fold.

Irina and Camilla were both now at the mid-stage of the Cosmic Phenomenon realm and among the ladies who were once a part of Pleasure inn, only one other shared their cultivation, and she was the break-out star of them all, Naveah.

All others were now at the Early stage of the Cosmic Phenomenon realm having worked hard to catch up to the four rising stars, Naveah, Nina, Kyla, and Opal.

However, while they indeed caught up to the other three, Naveah remained out of their reach... For now.

They recognized that there was work to still be done and Hal was pleased with the level of (usually) healthy competition among them.

Emily only advanced one stage and a half as she finally reached and crossed the mid-stage and was now at the late stage of the Cosmic Pagoda realm.

Adding another floor to her illusionary pagoda.

However, the one who had the most advancement of them all was none other than Marla.

She ended her cultivation seclusion three months ago (Warped time) with her Dark Maelstrom Physique now at the Vetted Mastery and her strength increased.

An increase that was even more evident with her cultivation, at the time, having been at the late stage of the Cosmic Armament realm.

Once she was out of seclusion, it would be quite an understatement to say she was sexually starved as she made sure to make up for lost time, and even without the Primal fruit, she still saw her cultivation increase to the early stage of the Cosmic Phenomenon realm.

Of course, while it was the main focus of their time in the Harem space and while they did it mainly for the pleasure of it, sex was not the only thing that went on in the Harem space during the warped Five months.

They all trained to hone their skills further.

Either to better use the succubus bloodline or to better use the Fiendish bloodline or simply to better their weapon skills.

They organized spars, competitions with the top reward always being more time with Hal who sat down on a throne and overlooked it all with a perverted smile on his face.

Emily was the only one not really participating in the competition on account of her very superior cultivation.

That said, as the most experienced one present, she did give tips and lectures to help them all and was usually sparring with Hal.

Most of the time, she would limit her cultivation to his level during which he would not be allowed to fight with anything other than cosmic energy-based attacks.

And then there were the rare occasions where he would ask her to not limit her cultivation and spar with him as a cultivator at the Cosmic Pagoda realm while he was allowed to make use of his bloodline.

He always lost.

Woefully.

At the Cosmic phenomenon realm, even if it was the peak stage, he still stood no chance against a Cosmic pagoda realm expert and certainly not those higher.

However, he did confirm that if he could get his Devil energy into the body of a Pagoda realm expert, he could have a window through which he could manage an escape by transitioning into the Shadow Demon Bloodline.

The time they all spent in the Harem space, secluded from the world was incredible and it was very well advocated that it continue that way.

However, at the end of the fifth month which had only been two weeks outside, Emily, Amelia, Karmen, Rita, and Hal finally exited the Harem space.

Once outside, Emily went to see her father along with Amelia.

Anton made sure to ask where they had been for the past two weeks, especially since no one had seen them leave or return into the Sensual place grounds but the two claimed they would rather not say.

They were speaking to him in what was the conference hall the Sensual palace head used to meet with the elders of his sect and Emily\'s brothers were present as well.

Then Anton noticed the increase in cultivation and while he said nothing and only outwardly narrowed his eyes, in his mind, he yelled, 

\'What the hell is this?!\'

And who could blame him?

In the space of two weeks, his daughter had advanced to the late stage of the Cosmic Pagoda realm when he was sure she was still at the early stage before her two weeks disappearance.

And his granddaughter was now at the Cosmic Phenomenon realm when she was still at the Cosmic Armament realm also two weeks prior.

\'What the hell is that kid made of?\' He asked himself and the \'Kid\' obviously referred to Hal.

And then the doors to the hall opened up with a bang and in an instant, Kirill Doxon was beside his Friend\'s chair which he grabbed the back of as he eyed Emily and Amelia with scrutiny before he said, 

"So, you finally show yourselves. Tell me, is that unfilial grandson of mine finally ready to stop avoiding me? To stop hiding away from facing me?"
