A Light Within Darkness.

Once the demons were well and truly dealt with, I all but collapsed into the bed as my bloated Dantian felt fit to burst with the chaotic essence I had absorbed from all the demons that died.

"Jake, are you alright?" Elesmere asked with concern as she came into our quarters.

I waved her off but she pressed into my personal space making me grunt as she pulled my head into her lap so she could begin massaging my head.

"When I was training my pysker powers oh so long ago and overworked myself into getting a nosebleed or something. My mother and father would do this as well." She whispered.

Granted my head wasn't hurting at all, but having my head propped up by the soft yet firm thighs of Elesmere, along with the cranial massage definitely made the painful digestion of chaotic energies within myself far more tolerable.

"Thanks, Elesmere," I muttered as I had my eyes closed and was in a meditative state while I worked to condense my cultivation with the energies I had absorbed.

"Jake. I feel the need to tell you that some humans were peeking around the edge of the mountain during the battle... It's likely with how their tech level seeming to be so low that they will seek shelter here. What will we even do for food for them?" She asked quietly as she came up with an issue.

"Well for one that's what outer disciples are for... But for now, a mortal without cultivation can subside for like a week on the compressed nutrient bars we made out the swarms of birds and stuff that attempted to eat us." I said throwing out an easy option with the elf slumping against me at the realization we were going to have to eat more of those damned nutrient bars.

Honestly, the biggest issue so far was the fact that I hadn't transcribed special inheritance plates to mentally convey certain martial arts and cultivation techniques for the Sects's library as I certainly wasn't going to make books for people to take/lose or sell to people outside the Sect.

Nope, they will get information downloaded directly into their brain basically with a seal within said brain that will explode and destroy their brain and dissipate their soul should they share the information beyond fellow Sect members.

"How long do you think it will take them to chance a trip up to us?" I asked as I relaxed more into Elesmere's lap and stared up past her breasts to her face with how my Dantian wasn't on the cusp of popping from over-saturation.

Elesmere hummed in thought as she gently drew her nails across my scalp before pulling back to lean back against the headboard so she could 'look' out through the Sect's wards.

"Isn't calling an empty Sect, 'The Heavenly Principles' too arrogant anyway?" She chided me and I rolled my eyes.

"Bah, woman. I have grand designs and rather than other races who seek to suppress others, I will empower most other races and give them avenues to do gladiatorial combat with representatives to see who gets planets and such..." Honestly, once I got to the sixth or seventh realm of mortal cultivation, I would be able to create pylons and such across the very planet that can anchor it under my control and control the amount of chaos energy reaches it as well as protect it from being given a planet buster of any kind.

"Hoho..." Elsmere said as her face twitched at my dismissal. "Do you have plans to recruit Greenskins as well among those races?"

Even I had to double-take at the thought of some Ork who managed to pick up some body cultivation so I firmly shook my head. "Yeah... As interesting as it would be to try to evolve Ork's back to Kork's so they get back their intelligence I much rather not deal with such monsters."

Dealing with War in Heaven tier stuff was a hard hell no for me, until I reached the divine levels of cultivation as the very C'tan back then were certainly at such a level.

"Either way those primitive humans will likely be here in a fortnight, so you have plenty of time to set up your little games to bind them to Sect and ensure their loyalty," Elesmere said haughtily before her face changed and I felt her grip tighten on me.

"Do you think we could make a beacon for my own people? I would like some of my own brethren to help your endeavors take off and they will assuredly keep your secrets for their own benefits for at least a while." Elesmere asked and I shrugged.

"No idea how you plan on making a beacon but so long as they will take a couple weeks to arrive like the rest of the humans down at the foot of the mountain, I don't care... Honestly except for some outliers like Yvranne and others I am fairly confident in dealing with any singular Eldar should they decide my 'secrets' are of too much value for the galaxy."

Hearing my words Elesmere stiffened in my arms, and I gave her a look. "Yes, Elesmere my life is the most valuable thing in the universe to me... Should an uppity little space elf think to deal with me whether they be Exodite, Dhrukari, or Craftworld I will make an example out of them or any other race that attacks me."

Eldar despite their great psychic powers had a major weakness due to that very power. When I went full Anathame to the Warp their very souls began to burn and be absorbed by me, and should I just open up a tear in reality to Slaanesh's realm? They will be even further weakened allowing me to kill them.

No one, not even Elesmere was worth my life. I wanted to create a Sect partly for fun and companionship but at its core the reasons I even went with this plan and not just stashing my spaceship in the corner of our warehouse back on that Hive World was that the world itself wouldn't support my growth as much anymore, plus with having a bunch of Sisters of Battle running around, making Warp Portals to eat demons sounded like a terrible idea.
