Absolute In/Existence

He wasn't aware when it had happened, but Sora had fallen asleep. He opened his eyes and the sky was still as dark as when he first appeared here. His body felt better, no more external wounds, but his body still remained weak.

Lifting himself, Sora got up to his feet.

He looked at his surroundings, nothing as far as the eyes can see, only a large plain full of green grass. Not a single animal or tree in sight, only a couple of mountains, far - FAR - away.

Returning his gaze back to the sky, Sora looked at the stars, wondering where he was. Maybe by looking at the position of the stars, he can get a vague idea of where on the entirety of Earth he is in.

But he was stunned.

Not a single star was in the dark blanket of space. It was entirely empty, not a single light at all. Not even the moon was the same moon of Earth, this moon of this place was too enormous for that.

Sora felt like his eyes were playing tricks on him. He was stunned, confused as to what was going on.

'That witch!'

His eyes flickered as he recalled the old lady and what she had said, about sending him elsewhere. About not belonging anywhere in the world, and realm. With just that bit of knowledge, Sora realized that he had been sent to yet another world.

But where is this world located?

Not a single star in space…

Frowning, Sora figured that he should begin exploring a little.

He looked around and walked towards one of the many mountains far into the distance. Since he couldn't find anything here in these plains, Sora could only head somewhere else where they could possibly be animals.

There, began his journey.

The hours passed, nothing came across, not a single flower or even a bird in the sky. Only the same wind that was blowing the grass to the west, or what he believed to be the west.

"Senior Sister, will the Saintess not care?"

Within one of the many mountains in the distance, far from Sora, two young women were sitting within a dark red luxurious carriage. They appeared young, but contrary to what most would think, they're close to a hundred years old already.

Their appearance was akin to women in their late 20's. Their skin soft and smooth, their eyes cold and piercing. Beautiful women with each their own distinct attractiveness, a deadly charm.

"No. The Saintess won't care about her first partner, as long as they're handsome, the rest won't matter," muttered the senior sister, Li Yue. "The sect wants the Saintess to break through into the perfect Heaven Foundation Establishment Realm."

"The Perfected Heaven Foundation Establishment Realm…" muttered the junior sister, Camille Petrov. "It's such a shame we never got to establish a Earth state Foundation, much less a perfected Foundation."

"It's what resources and top notch spirit roots does," Li Yue muttered as she looked out the window of the carriage.

The large beast pulling the carriage huffed and continued onward. The beasts and animals nearby were all scared away by the might of the large beast.

"Kodiak, have you finished Blood Pills?" Li Yue asked, her murky eyes turning to look at Camille. "I need some for my cultivation."

"Y-yes, Senior Sister Li!"

Camille nodded with a fearful expression, knowing exactly the temper of his senior brother. Li Yue had been known for killing and torturing her juniors and the sect did nothing about it.

Why?

Because they are part of a Demonic Sect.

Pulling out a bottle from her robe, Camille gave it to Li Yue with a nervous smile on her face. These were the last bit of her Blood Pills, but there is nothing she could do about it. Her senior sister is stronger than her.

Li Yue took the pills and snorted before opening the bottle. She frowned and threw the bottle at Camille in anger. "These are trash! You think I will accept any low-grade trash pills?"

"Of course not! Senior Sister! It was my mistake!"

Camille bowed and begged for forgiveness. She lowered her head and Li Yue smirked as she looked at the submissive Camille. She turned her gaze and looked out the window.

"Let's hurry. The Saintess needs her furnace."

Nodding her head, Camille stepped out of the carriage and urged the beast to move faster. She fed it some high-grade meat and a special pill before jumping into the carriage driver's seat.

The beast's eyes turned bloodshot red and it's speed increased greatly. it was given drugs, forcing it's body into an overworking state.

Traversing down the mountain and into a long and straight travel worn ground, the sun was already rising into the sky. Inside the dark blood carriage, Li Yue had her eyes closed, a faint bloody mist surrounding her.

"Senior Sister!"

Opening her eyes, Li Yue gathered the bloody mist back into her body. She stood up and stepped out of the carriage that had stopped. Her murky eyes peered to the side, where the large beast was panting and having difficulties standing.

"Stupid beast," cursed Li Yue under his breath before turning to look at Camille. "What happened?"

"Look! It's the perfect furnace for the Saintess," Camille said, a cold smile on her face as she pointed far into the distance.

A normal person couldn't see anything, but their eyes are different. They were able to see far with great clarity.

"Good. Let's get moving," Li Yue said, her eyes narrowing. "Wake the beast and feed it another pill."

"But-"

"Do it."

Camille lowered her head at Li Yue's stern and cold voice. She trembled and looked at the large beast with great pain in her heart. She had saved up so much just to buy and care for the large beast. Now, it's going to die after this mission of theirs.

She felt her heart bleed.

Gritting her teeth, Camille pulled out some more beast meat and another pill. She stuffed it into the mouth of her personal beast and forced it to continue moving.

They continued moving after the large beast ate the meat. It was forced to move and it's eyes turned even more bloodshot than before. It moved slower than before, but it was back to moving now.

"We've arrived," Camille notified Li Yue.

"Good. Wait here," Li Yue said as she stepped out of the carriage. Her steps were light, but the momentum she carried grew with each step she took.

It was a preemptive measure in case the person she was going to capture is someone strong. Her senses told her it was a normal person with no strength, but there had always been many people hiding their strength.

With her entire power built up and ready to be used at any moment, Li Yue pulled out a blood red dagger. It emitted a chilling and bloody aura, an aura created from the blood of many people it has killed.

"Young man, do you need any help," Li Yue asked as she walked to a young man who was looking at her calmly. She hid her blood red dagger behind her back and looked at Sora with narrowed eyes.

Sora smiled.

Amusement colored his golden eyes as he looked at the man before him. Still, he had some apprehension, a dangerous aura came from the man and Sora knew he wasn't the woman's match.

"Yes! I've been lost for a couple of days," Sora lied, lowering his head a little with an exhausted smile on his face.

Li Yue smirked.

"You're lucky you've met us," Li Yue said, feigning kindness as she hid away her blood red dagger. "Come, my junior sister and I were on our way back to our sect. Would you like to join us?"

Looking at the devilish beauty, Sora couldn't reject this invite at all even if he wanted to. Her strength, although he couldn't sense it, his instincts told him he had no chance against her. He grit his teeth and followed the woman.

Li Yue smiled, her murky eyes narrowing. She moved close to Sora, letting her perfume waft over to Sora. Smelling her scent, Sora felt his eyelids grow heavy and his mind slurring. Before he knew it, Sora fell unconscious and the woman grabbed him, lifting him into the air effortlessly.

"Senior Sister… is he good enough for the Saintess?" Camille asked, her eyes tentatively looking at Sora and studying him.

Li Yue licked her black colored lips, her eyes looking at Sora with desire. One of her hands traced Sora's face and she looked at Camille from the corner of her eyes. "If we weren't on a mission for the Saintess, I would have taken him for myself. Make him my slave."

Lowering her head, Camille kept her eyes away. She herself also thought the same thing when she noticed Sora. However, having such thoughts when this 'furnace' is only for the Saintess is punishable.

Not daring to say anything else, Camille brought the carriage over and helped place Sora inside the carriage. Now, with the special 'furnace' captured, Camille and Li Yue turned back and were heading back to their sect.

Camille remained outside as the carriage driver whilst Li Yue stayed inside the carriage, keeping an eye on Sora.

The journey was long, the two women had originally traveled a long distance. Two weeks of distance was traveled and during that time, Li Yue took care of Sora. She often fed him a special pill that filled his stomach and provided him the necessary nutrition.

They traveled past various mountains and finally arrived at the site of their sect. It was located within a dark ravine where the light didn't reach. A long and dark metallic bridge that led the way down to the sect's entrance.

The only indicator revealing that this is a sect is the large banner made of unknown material standing tall and mighty. It's size is very large, capable of being seen from millions of meters away. In blood red, the name of the sect was written on the banner.

Yin Desires

The two women entered the sect through the entrance, heading straight to the private quarters of the Saintess of Yin Desires.

Despite living within the ground, carved through special techniques and then strengthened through various methods, the entire sect lived within the ground. It was entirely carved and the inside was hollow. Some buildings were made straight from the materials of the ground while the more important buildings were made of better materials.

The buildings of the core disciples, various elders, the Saintess, and the Sect Master's buildings are all made with special materials.

The inside of the sect was bright, lit up with special fires and other illumination techniques. Allowing Camille and Li Yue to find their way to the Saintess' personal living abode.

"Li Yue/Camille have come to pay respects to the Saintess! We have also come to present the Saintess' furnace!"

Li Yue and Camille both stepped forward and clasped their fists. Lowering their heads, they spoke out loud and reported their appearance and reason for.

"Enter."

The Saintess' voice is ethereal and chilling, making one feel a cold pleasure. Her tone is light but demanding, her demeanor close to that of a dominant person.

Entering the Saintess' house with Sora, Li Yue and Camille both lowered themselves before the Saintess. Despite being stronger than the Saintess, their status was lower compared to her status within the sect. No matter what, they had to present the utmost respect to her, even if they are from a demonic sect.

Both Li Yue and Camille had their heads and eyes lowered the entire time, not daring to look at the Saintess directly in the face at all. Not because she might be ugly, but from the fact that she is so beautiful that one can lose themselves in her presence. Instantly charmed and bewitched by her beauty.

"Leave him here and leave. I'll report this to my master," the Saintess said. Her master, the Sect Leader, will reward them properly for their efforts and a job well done, no matter how insignificant this mission was.
