Divine Harem: My Sect of Heavenly Beauties

Chapter 12: Shadow Lotus

Li Xue sat down on the comfortable chair and gestured Ying Yue to do the same. After Ying Yue sat on another chair, Li Xue began speaking.

"I am not a typical human but a manifestation of the deep wisdom and accumulated knowledge contained within the Divine Library of this sect. I was created from the essence of countless manuals and ancient scrolls that hold the secrets of cultivation, martial arts, and vast wisdom."

She smiled, tucking her hair behind her ears.

"In fact, Master doesn't even know I exist because I was formed when he infused a fraction of his True Knowledge in the Library. The essence and Truth was overflowing which gave birth to me. I don't wish to confront Master yet because of a guess of mine."

"And that is?"

"Don't you think it's weird that such a powerful being is in such a backward place? Why do you think he came here?"

Upon hearing Li Xue's question, something clicked in Ying Yue's mind as she answered.

"I remember something Master told me. He said the top is filled with treacherous and viscous people and he doesn't like them. That's why he came here."

"Yes, I'm guessing that Master is tired of being at top and dealing with those people who stands directly below him. That's why he chose to come here and establish a sect, seeking a harem which will be like healing from all the scars he recieved. He wants to stay weak to remember who it feels to be weak and mundane."

"I understand, Master must have thought that his dislike of people was hindering his growth so he decided to live a life like this, where he sets his mentality to be weak."

"Yes, you really understand Master. I'm also guessing that so I can't appear in front of Master so soon. That will break his act of being not the strongest existence. I will meet him after some time. Remember, he's acting so it'll be best if you help in his act. If my guess is correct, he wants to witness the journey of reaching to the top again, that's why he wants to Sect to be number one. I will help you and all the sisters that join us from the shadows and you will help Master in making the Sect rise."

"Woah! You're so knowledgeable, Sister Xue. I didn't even think of all that. Thanks for your guidance, now I can server Master even better."

Ying Yue pumped her fists as she said in excitement. After knowing Shen Yu's purpose, she admired him even more and wanted to assist him in his journey.

"Of course, I am the manifestation of Knowledge, after all."

Li Xue smiled and said in pride. She was proud of being a creation of Shen Yu.

A wise man once said that people make ridiculous assumptions of things unknown to them. It was clear from the two beautiful ladies's conversation.

They both discussed what they needed to do for some more minutes, going into details and discussing everything seriously. Finally, after half an hour had passed since Ying Yue entered the Library, they were done with their plans.

Li Xue slumped back on the sofa and smiled.

"Now that's done. I wish you all the best on your journey. As for you Cultivation Manual, I think this will suit you."

She waved her hand as a scroll appeared in her hand. It was dark as a moonless night with small dots shining on the black surface as if they were the stars in the sky. If looked closely one would be able to see that the dots were actually lotus. It gave no aura or anything and looked like a normal scroll.

"This is the Cultivation Manual most suited for you. I've personally gone through many Cultivation Manual and found this. It will also increase your potential so you can practice this. You also won't need additional techniques as it gives new techniques along with it."

Ying Yue received the scroll with fascinating look on her face while listening to Li Xue's explanation. As she said, this Cultivation Manual was best for her, she could feel it. It was as if it was made for only her.

"Thank you for this, Sister Xue. You don't need to worry, I will take care of Master and remove any hindrance he's facing. I will also find more sisters for us to help him."

Ying Yue clasped her hand and swore. She then looked at the scroll and found some words written on top of it. She read them.

'Shadow Lotus Manual, huh.'

She opened the scroll curiously and read the contents within it. The Shadow Lotus Manual was a highly coveted Divine Rank cultivation manual that fused the elements of darkness, shadow and stealth with unparalleled agility and deadly precision. This manual was perfect for an assassin like Ying Yue, enhancing her natural talents and making her an even more formidable force.

Ying Yue smiled, and continued to read further. The manual was divided in seven stages where she needed to master all seven stages to completely digest the Divine Rank Cultivation manual.

"It's actually only a part of the Divine Rank Cultivation manual. You're too weak for that so I made a weaker version of it for you. Don't worry, this alone will help you until you the ceiling of this world so practice it and help Master. Once you have mastered everything, I'll give you the advanced version of it."

Li Xue said, smiling at Ying Yue. She streched her hand and tapped on Ying Yue's forehead with her glowing finger.

Ying Yue closed her eyes as she felt a strange energy travelling through all of her meridians and finally entering her mind. However, something shocking happened. Wherever the energy passed, the meridian grew stronger and wider. Ying Yue was shocked feeling that and looked at Li Xue in amazement.

"Practicing a Divine Rank Cultivation manual isn't something just anyone can do. You need a talent for it so I just helped you in that. Now all you need to do is digest the cultivation manual and practice."

Li Xue explained, then looked the window, continuing.

"You can practice in the Training Grounds, they're empty anyways."

Ying Yue nodded and stood up. She smiled and said.

"Thanks for all the help, Sister Xue. We'll help Master together."
