Mei and Feng pressed in close on either side, their curves—soft and voluptuous for Mei, thick and ripe for Feng—molding against me like they were made for it.

The crystal dome of the Pleasure Palace hummed softly around us, the aurora of heavenly light outside pulsing like a satisfied lover's heartbeat.

"What do we do now?" I echoed her question with a grin, my hand idly tracing the curve of Feng's heavy breast, fingers sinking into the soft flesh until her pink nipple hardened under my palm.

She moaned softly, arching into the touch despite her exhaustion, her pale blue eyes half-lidded with lingering bliss. "Simple, my fierce archer. We conquer. Starting with the ants who've come crawling to our door."

As if on cue, the system's interface flickered to life in my vision, blue notifications scrolling with clinical efficiency:

[System Alert: External Convergence Detected]

[Incoming Forces: 1,247 cultivators (mix of Core Formation to Nascent Soul realms), 83 spirit beasts (Foundation to Core Formation equivalent), 3 Peak Dao Integration elders (Immortal Sect vanguard)]

[Estimated Time to Arrival: 2 minutes]

[Recommendation: Demonstrate dominance to establish territorial claim. Harem Harmony bonus: Shared perception active - Wives can access Host's enhanced senses]

I dismissed the palace with a thought, reality folding back to the mountain ridge where we'd started.

The divine aurora faded, revealing a landscape transformed by the tribulation's aftermath—craters smoked where lightning had struck, forests bloomed unnaturally vibrant from my leaked vitality, and the air itself shimmered with residual qi that made every breath feel invigorating.

My wives stood beside me, their robes materializing in elegant flows of silk that hugged their figures—Yue's athletic form accentuated by form-fitting bronze accents,

Mei's curves draped in verdant green that seemed to shift like living vines, Feng's MILF body wrapped in icy blue that did nothing to hide her massive tits or wide hips.

They looked like goddesses, marked by my love and power, their pregnant bodies already radiating subtle maternal glows from the accelerated gestation.

And below us, in the valley, the "ants" had arrived.

A massive formation of Immortal Sect disciples hovered on flying swords, their white robes billowing in the charged wind, led by three elders whose Dao Integration auras blazed like small suns.

Flanking them were packs of spirit beasts—massive wolves with frost-tipped fur, eagles with wings that crackled with lightning—and scattered groups of rogue cultivators who'd come seeking fortune or glory.

The golden aurora that had painted the heavens began to fade, revealing a crystalline blue sky unmarred by the tribulation clouds that had raged moments before.

I stood on the mountain ridge, feeling the vast reservoir of power coursing through my meridians—no longer the desperate, dying emperor, but something transcendent.

"System, display our current status," I commanded silently.

Blue windows materialized in my vision:

[Breakthrough Complete: Host Advanced to Early Great Vehicle Realm]

[Tribulation Energy Absorbed: 2,847,000 Vitality Points]

[Essence Bond Synchronization Successful]

[Partner Status Updates:]

- Yue: Foundation Establishment → Peak Soul Formation

- Mei: Core Formation → Peak Soul Formation

- Feng: Mid-Nascent Soul → Peak Soul Formation

[New Abilities Unlocked:]

- [Harmonic Resonance]: Perfect synchronization with bonded partners

- [Vitality Overflow]: Ambient energy enhances environment within 10-mile radius

- [Heavenly Recognition]: Sky acknowledges Host's authority - No further tribulations required for ascension

My three wives stood beside me, their auras blazing with newfound power.

Gone were the unstable fluctuations that had threatened to tear them apart.

Now their qi flowed in perfect harmony, synchronized with mine through bonds that felt unbreakable.

"I can feel it," Yue breathed, her green eyes wide with wonder as she examined her hands, crackling with golden energy. "The archer techniques I could never master... they're so clear now."

Mei's vines had evolved beyond simple plant manipulation—they pulsed with life energy that could accelerate or halt growth itself. "Husband, the nature dao... I can sense every living thing for miles. There are so many people coming."

Feng's ice cultivation had transformed into something crystalline and eternal. "My sect training never prepared me for this level of understanding. The formations, the techniques... it's like I've been reading children's books all my life."

I smiled, placing a hand on each of their shoulders. "The tribulation didn't just test us—it forged us. We're no longer bound by this realm's limitations."

"Then why do I sense several hundred cultivators approaching our position?" Feng asked, her tactical mind already assessing threats.

As if summoned by her words, the air filled with the sound of rushing wind as dozens of flying swords crested the nearby peaks.

Immortal Sect disciples in pristine white robes formed battle formations in the sky, their qi blazing like miniature suns.

Behind them came others—Azure Dragon Sect warriors, rogue cultivators seeking fortune, and massive spirit beasts with riders on their backs.

At the head of the Immortal Sect formation, an elderly man with flowing white whiskers raised his voice, amplified by spiritual energy to boom across the valley.

"Unknown ascendant! I am Elder Liu Changming of the Immortal Sect! Your breakthrough has violated the natural order and brought chaos to these lands! Surrender immediately for questioning!"

I stepped forward, my Great Vehicle aura unfolding like a pressure wave that made the weaker cultivators stumble in the air. "Surrender?" My voice carried easily to them without any amplification. "That's amusing. Tell me, Elder Liu—when did insects start making demands of dragons?"

The elder's face darkened. "Insolent fool! Your advancement was witnessed by every major sect. The disturbance you've caused—"

"Was necessary," I cut him off. "This realm has grown stagnant under your so-called guidance. It's time for new management."

Behind Elder Liu, another figure stepped forward—a woman in Azure Dragon Sect robes with her hand on her sword hilt. "You speak of management like you have any authority here. One breakthrough doesn't make you a ruler."

Yue laughed, her bow materializing in her hands. "One breakthrough? Sister, you have no idea what you're facing."

[System Alert: Multiple hostile forces detected]

[Recommendation: Demonstrate overwhelming superiority to minimize casualties]

I glanced at my wives, who nodded in understanding.

We'd grown beyond the need for words—our bond allowed perfect tactical coordination.

"Last chance," I called out to the assembled forces. "Kneel now and swear loyalty, or learn why Heaven itself acknowledged my ascension."

Elder Liu's aura blazed with Dao Integration power. "Heaven-Suppressing Formation! Show this pretender the might of ten thousand years of tradition!"

The disciples moved in perfect unison, their individual qi streams linking into a massive suppression array.

Chains of pure dao intent materialized in the air, designed to bind and crush any ascendant who dared challenge the established order.

"Pathetic," Feng scoffed, raising one hand.

Her evolved ice cultivation responded, creating crystalline mirrors that reflected the suppression chains back at their creators.

But these weren't simple reflections—her power had transformed the binding energy into something else entirely.

Instead of crushing the disciples, the reflected chains began healing their meridians, forcibly advancing their cultivation at a rate their foundations couldn't handle.

Screams filled the air as Core Formation experts were dragged unwillingly toward Nascent Soul breakthroughs, their bodies convulsing from the overflow.

"Stop!" Elder Liu shouted, trying to cut the formation's power, but it was too late. "What kind of technique is this?"

"Evolution," I replied calmly. "Your formation tried to suppress us. My wife's power turned it into a gift you're not ready to receive."

Mei stepped forward next, her vines erupting from the mountain itself in a verdant wave that swept toward the charging spirit beasts.

But instead of binding them, the plants began merging with the creatures, forcing rapid mutations that left them writhing in confusion as they evolved beyond their previous forms.

A massive wolf found itself sprouting wings, its howls turning to pitiful whimpers as its body struggled to adapt.

Eagles began growing additional heads, their flight patterns turning erratic as conflicting instincts warred in their transformed minds.

"My dao has evolved beyond simple plant control," Mei explained, her voice carrying surprising authority. "I am growth itself now—uncontrolled, overwhelming growth."

The Azure Dragon Sect warrior who'd spoken earlier drew her sword, qi blazing along the blade. "Enough tricks! Face me in honorable combat!"

Yue smiled, her bronze skin gleaming as she drew back her bowstring. "Honorable combat? Very well."

She released, and the arrow split mid-flight into a thousand projectiles that seemed to ignore the laws of physics entirely.

Each one found its mark with surgical precision—not killing blows, but shots that severed specific meridians, leaving the enemy cultivators alive but unable to access their qi.

The Azure Dragon warrior's sword fell from nerveless fingers as her dantian was sealed.

She crashed to the ground, staring up at Yue in shock. "Impossible... I'm Peak Nascent Soul. How did a Soul Formation cultivator..."

"Peak Soul Formation synchronized with a Great Vehicle realm husband," Yue corrected. "The difference is like comparing a candle to the sun."

Elder Liu, seeing his forces in chaos, gathered his remaining power for a final desperate attack. "If we cannot bind you, then we'll destroy you! Ultimate Technique: Heaven's Judgment Strike!"

His aura exploded outward as he channeled everything he had into a single devastating blow—the kind of attack that could level mountains and boil seas.

The energy gathered above us like a miniature star, promising annihilation.

I yawned.

It was nice; my mood was better after a sexual session in an intense environment.

That's why I feel far more composed and not inclined to harm anyone here.

And either way, they were not my aims to begin with, given the lower realm I wanted to trigger the plot that my grandson would have naturally used to climb.
