Chapter 76: Taking Everyone to The Mystic Starry Realm
Asher looked at everyone and finally made his move, “Listen, everybody, I have something important to share with all of you. Let’s go to that place for that.”
“What place?” The women asked at once.
“I’ll guide you to the place. You all just have to touch my body for now.” Asher replied mysteriously, with a grin plastered on his face.
Everyone nodded in approval. They didn’t know where he planned to lead them, but they trusted Asher with whatever he wanted them to do.
They approached Asher and pressed their hands against his body. Then the surroundings started distorting as darkness enveloped the whole garden. Soon, their world turned pitch black.
After some time…
Aria, Lysandra, Olivia, Mia, Lily, Eleanor, Nadia, and Maria found themselves in a different place, shrouded in darkness and illuminated by rays of starlight. They admired their surroundings quietly, with astonishment written all over their faces, before turning toward Asher for some answers.
“This…! How? This is just….” Olivia uttered it out loud in disbelief, looking everywhere with wide eyes filled with astonishment at this mystical phenomenon.
They didn’t expect to find themselves in such a magical place out of nowhere, even though it appeared like some sort of alternate reality or another dimension altogether.
“Welcome to the Mystic Starry Realm.” Asher announced proudly as he spread his hand in an exaggerated motion.
“Mystic Starry Realm?” Everyone murmured amongst themselves.
“Honey, how did you get access to this secret realm? There are always dangers involved whenever one trespasses on a newly discovered place like this. Moreover, this is not an ordinary cultivation secret realm with such a pure and dense spirit essence that rivals the cultivation treasure grounds of ancient clans and powerful sects.” Aria asked worriedly.
Asher held her hand reassuringly before answering, “Don’t worry about that, mom. Everything is okay. Let me show you all something, and then you can get all your answers.”
Soon, Asher led them to the central pavilion and arrived at the magnificent hall, where a single orb was above an altar shrouded in a mystical aura.
“Honey, this is…” Aria laid eyes on the artifact resting peacefully atop the altar, exuding intense power emanating from within its core that made her tremble unconsciously and break out in a cold sweat while feeling intimidated by its sheer might.
Asher glanced sideways at her momentarily before nodding slightly.
“Mom, this is the Astral Nexus Core Orb that connects this realm to our world. The Astral Nexus Orb recognized me as the master of the realm through a blood connection, thus allowing me access to this domain,” Asher explained calmly while watching Aria process this information slowly but surely.
After thinking carefully about his words, Aria gasped in realization and looked back and forth between Asher’s face and the massive orb before repeating the words spoken previously by Asher in an incredulous manner, “This realm… belongs to you?” She couldn’t believe this.
Her son inherited this entire realm, which was beyond rich in terms of spiritual energy compared to any normal cultivation treasure grounds out there. Not to mention that it had abundant natural resources and other valuable materials that could be harvested at will. If word about such a heaven-sent blessing was leaked out to the rest of the world, chaos would definitely ensue and jeopardize the safety of Asher.
“Correct.” Asher confirmed without a second thought, affirming his ownership of the Mystic Starry Realm.
All the women looked at Asher in astonishment after learning this shocking news, unable to fathom the enormity of it all.
However, they soon calmed down and nodded while pondering in their hearts if this development could change anything between them.
Since nothing bad would happen to Asher, as they were all close friends and family.
Also, nobody could steal this land away, as even Asher doesn’t know how to relinquish authority.
Aria took a deep breath and gazed up at the astral nexus orb again as she remarked, “Sigh… Honey, I am glad that you brought us here, but I hope you will not be careless and reveal anything about this realm to other people. Please try to keep it under wraps unless necessary. You know how powerful and influential the sects are across the whole nation, even the whole continent, so be careful.”
“Yes, I understand. I know the danger lurking outside of this realm. I promise to be very cautious in the future.” He said it with resolution in his eyes, reassuring his mom and the others as well, who also had concerned expressions.
She gave a faint sigh of relief at hearing his answer, although she couldn’t help feeling anxious regardless, considering how dangerous things were. But seeing Asher reply honestly without any reservations eased her mind.
On the other hand, Lysandra giggled mischievously and interjected herself into their conversation by teasingly asking, “Hmmm… since this place belongs to you, will you marry all of us so we can live here safely and comfortably together forever?”
At her words, everyone broke out in laughter while listening to Lysandra’s ridiculous yet humorous proposition.
‘Seriously?’ Asher rolled his eyes.

However, Olivia stopped laughing suddenly when she saw that Asher didn’t immediately respond to Lysandra’s question, choosing to remain silent instead, which prompted her curiosity.
“Little Ash…? Why aren’t you answering me?” Lysandra frowned, feeling doubtful after noticing Asher’s lack of reaction.
Seeing them look back at him inquisitively with concern, Asher chuckled lightly in amusement while shaking his head as he answered honestly without beating around the bush, “Well, it depends. For now, you don’t have to think about marriage, as this orb will make sure that everyone of us can stay together forever after you store a part of your soul inside the orb.”
Upon hearing these words, Lysandra and everyone else were dumbstruck and stunned beyond belief.
Olivia shook herself out of her daze before frowning as she pointed towards the orb, saying, “That orb has such a special function?!”
“Yes, Aunt Olivia. It can resurrect anyone who has stored a part of their soul in it prior to their death. More than that, you all will be bound by a life oath through the orb, with no chance of betrayal. Once you are connected to the orb, you can come and go from this realm as you please, from wherever you are, with the help of soul marks. Isn’t that a good thing?” Asher explained while smiling cheerfully, causing the others’ hearts to skip a beat as they stared at him dumbfoundedly, completely captivated by his warm gaze directed straight toward them.
“…”
The women remained silent, with their jaws gaping open. They didn’t know whether to laugh or cry upon comprehending what Asher meant.
Asher raised his arms and looked around before asking, “Don’t you all agree? This is something extremely beneficial for us all because it means we can stay together even without any worries whatsoever.”
Upon hearing these words, everyone’s eyes glistened in delight as their lips curved upward a little involuntarily.
“Yes!!!” The ladies replied in unison without hesitation whatsoever.
Each of them realized that Asher desired nothing but to ensure their safety and comfort by offering this opportunity to everyone.
