Life After Reaching The Pinnacle

At this moment, Aadi and Asty were looking at a two-story house.

That's right, after a whole week of work, they had finally built the bookstore. It wasn't luxurious, but it was simple and clean. Surrounding it was a clear patch of land and a little pond with a shore made of marbles.

At the top of the building was a black plaque with "Cosmic Valve" written on it.

Asty was looking at the plaque with a complicated expression.

"Although it's not the best, it's still good," Aadi said, clearly satisfied with his work. "All that's left is to get the books, but before that, this garden needs to be filled with herbs, and the pond also needs to be filled."

After that, Aadi waved his hand, and the whole garden was filled with divine herbs for which worlds would go to war to obtain them. 'Twin Dragon Fruit,' 'Chaos Thunder Grass,' 'Ice Spirit Flame Grass,' etc., were growing like normal grass all over the garden.

At the same time, Asty also waved her little paw, and an invisible barrier appeared, blocking all the divine aura of the herbs.

The pond, after nourishment, became a soul pond. Just by drinking a cup of soul pond water, one's soul could be advanced to the next stage.

Inside the house, different types of books filled the bookshelves. The bookshelves were arranged systematically around the ground floor, and at the center were tables and chairs.

"So, you even mixed something into the books, huh?" Asty said after seeing the books.

"If it were a normal bookstore, how would I be able to become a hidden expert? I just did some tweaks here and there so that whoever reads them can get some benefits. Besides, what they get depends on their cultivation, so..." Aadi continued his explanation as to why he did all of this, but Asty completely ignored him.

After that, Aadi and Asty began living their ordinary lives and managing their little bookstore.

But as the town was filled with ordinary people, nothing major happened besides some bored people coming to read the novels. But as they had no Profound energy in their bodies, they gained nothing but entertainment. Aadi also blocked the excessive Profound aura emitted from the divine herbs for their safety.

A month later...

A young man with silver-white hair could be seen sitting elegantly in a comfortable chair. His eyes were focused on the book he was reading. Aside from him, there was a white cat sleeping peacefully on a cushion on the table.

Asty woke up and rubbed her sleepy eyes with her little paws. After that, her gaze landed on Aadi, or more precisely, the book he was reading.

"Battle against the Hell? You even changed the name," Asty asked after reading the title of the novel.

"As if you're the one dealing with copyrights," Aadi just rolled his eyes at Asty's remark.

Asty stared speechless at Aadi and changed the subject. "Does this realm have any chosen? I mean, I could clearly feel the calamity this realm's going to face, so the chosen should already be born?"

"Of course, it has. Normally, I would have ignored him as most of them are righteous pricks, but this one's got me a little interested. Do you know why?" After saying that, Aadi became silent, trying to make it more suspenseful. "He has the 'The Heart's Desire'."

Asty became dumbfounded upon hearing this and was silent for a while before asking, "Are you trying to be funny here?" 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Well, it looks like Azure Divine World's Spirit once saw the original and tried to duplicate it. And guess what? It succeeded. Although it's only a copy and could not even contend with 1% of the original, it's the 'The Heart's Desire.' That's why I said it's going to be interesting, especially if he ascends to the Divine World." Aadi laughed in excitement as he imagined everything.

"And here, I thought it was the original," Asty sighed in relief as she knew its true power. Although it wasn't much to the current her, she has seen the true terror of it herself and knew how much of a pain in the ass it was once it was completed.

As they were speaking, they detected someone outside their house and went to see who it was.

As soon as they arrived outside, they came upon a sight of a bloodied girl. Her clothes were tattered, and her face and hair were covered in soil and mud.

"Quite a sight it is," Asty said in an emotionless tone.

On the other hand, Aadi had a surprised expression on seeing the girl and began to laugh lightly. "Fate truly is a bitch."

Asty turned her head and saw Aadi laughing, and she asked in confusion, "What happened?"

Aadi was someone who becomes happy over little things from the start, so she wasn't very surprised seeing him laughing like this.

Aadi calmed down and said, "Let's get her in and heal her. I'll tell you everything later."

Asty just nodded and helped Aadi get the girl inside the house. After laying her down on the bed, Aadi fed her a few healing pills he had been making in his free time.

"Now can you tell me what happened to make you this excited?" Asty asked, as she was very curious to know about it.

"Remember I told you about the chosen of this realm?" Aadi asked.

"Yes, so what about him? How is he related to this girl?" Asty asked, as she felt something familiar in the girl's blood but couldn't point out what it was.

"Well, there is a very high chance that the chosen and this girl will become fatal enemies. Their Karma is already attached to each other."

"Normally she would have become a stepping stone for the chosen, but her blood makes things complicated." Asty guessed after hearing Aadi's response and asked, "Which bloodline is it to even block 'The Heart's Desire' way?"

"The Rulers Bloodline, and although it's very diluted, it's still there." Aadi said, making Asty's eyes widen in shock. She wasn't even this shocked after learning about 'the Heart's Desire' existence as she was now.

But she calmed down soon and asked, "What are you going to do with her?"

Aadi smiled and said, "Well, it's about time I have my first disciple."
