Heaven, Earth, Me-Chapter 1253. "Let Me See Your Insides!"

When Star Forge arrived, she was quick to spot Yasenia’s room. The dragoness’s energy was quite characteristic after you got hold of her energy signature. Therefore, Star Forge could track that and know in which room she entered before sealing it off. She looked with a cold face at the closed door with a red light. "Yasenia, get out! We need to talk!"

However, there was no answer from inside. Her eyebrows came together, and she wanted to push her spiritual sense inside. Still, the formation in place would alert everyone if she tried to do that. It was a protective measure to prevent creepy people from spying on those cultivating.

A heavy sigh left her mouth, and she went to the entrance. "The beautiful dragon woman who came here. How much time did she say that she would spend inside?"

The man instantly knew who Star Forge was speaking about. So, he answered straightforwardly. "If you are talking about that tall immortal, she said that she wanted to be there for three months or so."

"Three months..." Star Forge sighed in relief. ’If she had wanted to be there for a few years, I would’ve dragged her out even if things got complicated. I can wait three months without problems.’

So, instead of waiting here, she returned to the small city where her disciples gathered and continued with the preparation to welcome Feixue.

Meanwhile, Yasenia sensed how the person outside left and smiled to herself. ’To think that the blonde woman would go and tell Star Forge... Well, I just need a few months to fully stabilize myself before I can get out and roam freely. She won’t say much about it, most likely... Probably... Hopefully."

Either way, Yasenia stopped caring and focused on what she wanted to do. Her eyes closed as she sat cross-legged and gathered her hands between her legs. Once she did so, energy began flowing and entering her body through her meridians and breathing. Then, for a week straight, a time that felt like a few minutes for Yasenia, the dragoness managed to enter a stable exchange of energy. ’The energy purity is just ridiculous. My estimates were way off!’

If she kept sitting in Feixue’s Beast Pocket, her time to harmonize would indeed be a few years, two at the very minimum. Now, the tower she was in accumulated and increased energy quality by concentrating it into a form so dense that it almost turned into liquid energy. ’Upper rooms probably have energy mists, the phenomenon that occurs just before energy starts liquifying.’

At the pace she was going, she would need just two months before her energy completely harmonized with the world. So, she set out to do that in the background while she focused on the biggest problem at hand at the moment. ’Where. Is. My. Soul. Palace!?’

The dragoness stayed with her arms crossed in the middle of her soul, scanning the surroundings as if they were doing something evil. "Is this another trick those two left behind!? No, that’s not possible; they were clearly wary that my Soul Palace would surface during the tribulation. However, it never appeared. Moreover, they didn’t consider the Primordial Palace as my Soul Palace, so that thing must not be it..." The dragoness trailed her words and then frowned. "But what if it is? They didn’t know that Black Hole Energy Cores could be created, much less fused and strengthened like I have."

The dragoness floated in front of the ancient palace and looked at the tightly closed doors. "How to open this thing? I should be able to after reaching Transcendence, no?"

With that in mind, Yasenia flew around it, observing all the details. However, other than the complex two massive steles depicting [Shattering The Heavens] and [Heavenly Firmament Sanctuary], nothing with understandable symbolism could be seen on the palace’s exterior. The imagery that was carved in some parts came across as artistic and not something that hid deeper truths.

"You know what." Yasenia looked at the giant Palace and spoke to it. "I don’t care if you are my Soul Palace or not! You will become it even if you don’t want to! Who knows if you are purposefully suppressing it because, if I manifest my innate palace, you won’t have room in my soul. Or, perhaps, you were my innate palace all along or fused with it." freēnovelkiss.com

With a snort, Yasenia floated forward and placed her hand on the palace’s double door. "I don’t know. I don’t care anymore. I’ve never really been a passive person waiting for things to occur. So, from now on, you’ll become my Soul Palace!"

The entire Soul World began to tremble, causing the cosmic background, filled with stars and galaxies, to shake in response. Her Soul Energy surged like a cosmic river into Yasenia’s figure, and she transformed into her dragon form.

The flowing energy filling her made Yasenia feel like bursting, prompting her to roar to the skies.

Outside, the formation holding Yasenia’s aura flickered faintly for a moment. The pressure surrounding the dragoness would’ve collapsed space in the lower heavens just from cultivating. Thankfully, she was not there anymore.

Meanwhile, inside her soul, the dragoness went onto her hind legs and placed both arms on the large double doors. "Now... Open and let my soul into your entrails! Since you’ve chosen me as a host, then be thorough and give me everything!"

Craakakakak.

A faint rattling sound echoed in the surroundings, like something extremely heavy starting to move while dragging across uneven ground. How could Yasenia miss that sound? In her dragon form, her somewhat feminine but imposing facial expressions became aggressive as she pushed with even more strength. "Come on! I know you want to move, so move!"

Her roar came with a further increase in strength as all the muscles across her dragon body began swelling and showing their power. The doors slid very slowly, but as if something was pushing from the inside, there was a counterforce that made it slide back the second Yasenia stopped pushing.

So, the dragoness utterly gave up resting between pushes and decided to go all out or nothing. "You stubborn palace! I said that you’ll become my Soul Palace, so be obedient and open your doors so that my influence can affect you inside out! Puushhh!!!!!"

The doors were slowly dragged open by the dragon, and finally, a crack formed between the double doors. As if all the pressure inside and outside finally met, the resistance completely disappeared as a powerful mix of exiting and entering soul winds created a tiny energy storm.

BANG!

Both doors slammed against the stoppers at the backs, and from the impulse, Yasenia lost her footing and tripped a few steps into the mysterious [Primordial Palace], only regaining balance after flapping her giant wings a few times. "Oh wow... How can pushing something be so tiresome? I am... so... tired. Huh?"

Her mind became dizzy as if she were becoming drowsy and about to fall asleep. Her eyelids closed involuntarily, but she forced them open. Yawning, Yasenia spoke to herself. "Woah... Sleepiness is such a foreign thing... I have not experienced it for so loong. Should I just sleep?"

Honestly, the temptation of moving into a comfortable bed and curling up while closing her eyes was almost impossible to resist. At that moment, when she was about to fall asleep, a pulse of energy came from the most secure part of her soul, startling her awake. "Woah!"

She shook her body and patted her chest with her claw. "I almost fell asleep for real." Her eyes became gentle as she looked out of the door. "Thank you, baby~."

If she could, Yasenia would hug her unborn baby and shower him or her in kisses. "Now..." She looked around and exclaimed in awe. "This place is truly impressive."

The inside of the [Primordial Palace] was breathtaking.

At first, Yasenia always thought that she would encounter an old and ruined palace when she entered, but she couldn’t be more wrong. The interior of the palace was even vaster than its already gargantuan exterior, extending into a surreal expanse that seemed suspended between time and space. The translucent ground below Yasenia’s claws glimmered with constellations, flowing as if they were a map of a moving cosmos.

Towering columns of gorgeous silver and deep purple reached up into a black void, disappearing from sight as if the ceiling were a maw that could devour the world itself. Still, while it looked endless, when Yasenia focused, she could see a massive staircase at the end of the grand hallways.

Every ten columns, there was a door shimmering with the lights of a ruined cosmos. A nebula of energies shaped, or better put, trapped into a solid door shape. Each of these doors was different in detail, with the swirling colors changing from the closest to the furthest.

The closest doors shimmered with a rich red, the main color of the nebula, and the further one went, those colors became increasingly lighter, transforming into orange tones, with the last one becoming a gorgeous yet not blinding yellow. Then, beyond the last door, Yasenia could see the stairs she had spotted earlier leading upwards to somewhere she could not see.

"Woah... This place is gorgeous."

She had not expected this to be the first floor of the Primordial Palace. The dragon walked on all fours, with her wings calmly folded onto her back as she looked at the doors. "A total of 27 doors. Nine of them are tones of red, another nine are tones of orange, while the last nine have yellowish colors. The last one is purely yellow but with a hint of green in the middle. Should I guess that the next set is going to be green nebulas?"

Curious, the dragoness approached the first and closest door. The elegant cloud of stardust shimmered with a myriad of colors, but mainly with rich red ones. It was as if someone had crushed and melted rubies and used them as their paint.

After observing the door’s intricacies, the dragon lifted her golden claws and pushed it. "Huh?" Instead of sliding open, Yasenia felt a light pull and was sucked into the red door, appearing inside of another room. This room was simpler, but not enough to be considered basic.

Dark-colored walls with scattered red lights gave the entire area a sense of ominous foreboding. Still, Yasenia was sure that there was no danger as the energy was harmonious, rich, and peaceful.

In the middle of the room, Yasenia observed a massive red crystal with uneven surfaces. This crystal had golden runes etched on it, flowing around in different patterns as energy around it twisted in different forms that were hard to comprehend. Even when Yasenia tried, she felt only confused and somewhat frustrated. The reason for this frustration was that the dragoness could easily tell that this crystal had important truths engraved in it.

She took a deep breath and looked at everything with an awed expression. ’... This is truly something I wasn’t expecting.’
