My Celestial Ascension Chapter 6 Am I Supposed To Be This Lucky?
Previously on My Celestial Ascension...
[It was nothing major—only 150 SP, Host!] Nora replied instantly.
‘Oh, just 150 SP? I thought it would be way more.’ Yuan let out a breath of relief, surprised at how affordable a Divine rank technique actually was.
"Excellent, I'll buy it!" He commanded Nora to acquire the manual for his mother.
[Confirmed, Host,] Nora answered.
[Ding! 150 SP has been consumed! You have acquired the Heavenly Twin Heart Manual! Please retrieve it from your system inventory!]
[Remaining SP: 840]
Noticing the technique's name was almost identical to her physique, he muttered, "Why does this sound like it was handcrafted specifically for Mom?"
[That is because this technique was tailored for twins. Long ago, during the Gods' Era, an Empress of the Celestial Heaven bore two stunning twin daughters. The Empress eventually realized her children were unable to practice any of the millions of techniques she had gathered. Consequently, she spent a century creating the ultimate method for them: the "Heavenly Twin Heart Manual," a Peak Divine rank technique.] Nora clarified the origin of the manual Yuan had just bought.
[Your mother possesses two hearts and two souls within a single frame. Eventually, she will divide into two separate bodies with unique personalities.] Nora added, highlighting the rarity of the physique.
"Won't it be a problem if she splits into two people with their own independent wills? What if one of them leaves and marries a total stranger?" Yuan asked, feeling anxious about what the future might hold. Although Anna was his mother in this world, his past as a virgin otaku from Earth made it difficult to see her strictly in a motherly light after his recent transmigration.
[There is no reason to overthink it. Based on the memories of the previous owner, she cares for you just as much as Anna does. Her temperament is simply a bit colder, that is all!] Nora comforted him, explaining that while his mother would become two individuals, she would still be herself.
He felt comforted by Nora’s words, having spent a lot of time worrying about his mother's strange physical condition.
"Dear! What has you so lost in thought?" Anna asked, noticing Yuan was deeply preoccupied.
"It’s nothing, Mom!" After answering, he noticed Lily and Emma were both watching him with curiosity.
"Nora, are there suitable techniques I can buy for the others? They’ll be upset with me—especially Big Sis—if I only give something to Mom." Yuan realized this was a perfect chance to win over Lily and Emma.
[Your sister possesses the Heavenly Yin body, a Divine level physique. It is a pity she was born in a world that doesn't comprehend cultivation. In a proper cultivation world, she would undoubtedly be the Holy Maiden of an Ice-attribute Sect.]
[She cannot practice right now because her body is saturated with mana. She must swap that mana for Qi before she can begin. Since your current cultivation is too low for other methods, there is only one way to facilitate this exchange: you must dual cultivate with her,] Nora stated.
‘Dual cultivate?’ Yuan was stunned by the suggestion. Having read many novels, he was well aware of what that implied.
"Is that really the only way? What about the other methods you mentioned?" he pressed.
[There are other ways to convert mana to Qi, but your current strength is insufficient to perform them on Lily. You would need to be above the Spirit Emperor realm. With your talent, you could reach that level in three or four years. However, dual cultivation would speed up the process. The other methods are also dangerous and could cost her life, so they aren't recommended,] Nora explained in detail.
Yuan felt a bit conflicted after the explanation, though he couldn't deny his attraction to her despite their blood relation. He had been enamored with her since the moment he transmigrated. He also liked Emma, whom he felt was destined to be one of his wives. Still, he couldn't exactly ask either of them to share his bed right now.
"What about Emma? Does she have any special traits like Mom or Big Sis?" Yuan asked.
[I cannot see everything yet due to your low cultivation. I suspect she might possess a hidden lineage. Bloodlines are different from physiques, having their own ranks and traits. There is a 30% chance her bloodline will awaken once she starts her cultivation!] Nora replied.
‘It seems everyone in my family is extraordinary. Am I really this lucky?’ A faint smile crossed his face before he regained his focus.
"Just purchase them. I'll speak with my family soon regardless."
He told Nora to buy the techniques, planning to explain the situation to Lily later.

After finishing the transaction, he looked at the three women who were watching him intently.
‘I shouldn't keep them in suspense any longer!’ he thought, admiring their beauty.
He then materialized all three cultivation manuals from the system storage and laid them out on the bed.
The powerful and ancient aura radiating from the books made it clear they were no ordinary volumes. They all wondered the same thing: where did Yuan get these?
"What are these for, Young Master? They look incredibly valuable!" Emma asked first, unable to contain her curiosity as she felt a mysterious energy coming from them.
"I wonder what kind of secrets are hidden inside!" Lily added while staring at the books.
"Dear, can you explain the purpose of these books?" Anna requested.
All three women stared at Yuan, waiting for him to clarify the mystery.
Looking at the three beauties, Yuan said, "Mom, Big Sis—these aren't just books of knowledge. They are cultivation techniques!"
"..."
"Cultivation methods? What are those? I've never heard of them. Mom, have you?" Lily asked, scratching her head in confusion.
"No, this is the first time I've heard the term," Anna replied, looking just as puzzled as Lily.
"I haven't heard of it either," Emma noted. Their confused faces told him they didn't understand at all.
"Mom, Big Sis, please be patient. Let me finish explaining before you jump to conclusions!" He continued, "Cultivators are people who use these methods to strengthen their bodies and minds by absorbing Spirit Qi—the energy of Heaven and Earth. A powerful cultivator can split the ocean with a sword or crush mountains with a punch. As you advance and achieve breakthroughs, you become stronger, eventually breaking mortal limits to achieve immortality. You would stop aging and live forever."
"I am not a mage or a knight. I am a cultivator. Since I only started today, my level is still very low." As he spoke, he gathered a bit of Spirit Qi in his palm to show them.
"..."
They were shocked to see that the energy around his hand wasn't mana, but something called Qi. They looked at him with strange expressions.
"Please don't ask how I got these. I can't explain that yet," he said apologetically.
"Dear, I won't pry if it makes you uncomfortable, but are these books for us?" Anna asked with a nod. Lily and Emma leaned in, waiting for his answer.
"Of course they are for you!" He handed the Heavenly Twin Heart Manual to Anna. "Mom, this is for you. You have a Mythic Rank physique called the 'Twin Heart Soul Body.' It’s the reason you’ve been sick; your body needed Qi to sustain itself. This technique is perfect for you. Once you start, you'll understand your dual personality better. Eventually, you can even split into two separate people. You'll understand more once you begin."
"Wait... Mom, do you really have two personalities?" Lily asked, stunned.
"I should have told you sooner, but I didn't know how. As Yuan said, I have two personalities—myself, Anna, and another named Grace. We both love you very much, so don't worry about it," Anna admitted with a sigh.
"Mom, Emma, take these. Later, sit in a cross-legged lotus position and follow the instructions. It might take several readings to fully understand the technique," Yuan said as he handed the manuals to his mother and Emma.
"Thank you, Dear/Young Master!" they replied in unison.
‘Sigh, being called Young Master is still a bit weird...’ he thought, shaking his head.
Both Emma and his mother thanked him with kisses on his cheeks before taking the books. The affection from two beautiful women made his heart race, and he felt a sudden stir in his trousers.
‘Damn! This is too much for a virgin like me!’ Yuan screamed internally as his "little brother" woke up.
"Hey, little Yuan, did you forget about me?" Lily asked, feeling left out.
"I have a technique for you too, but you can't use it just yet," Yuan answered.
"And why is that? Do you think I'm not good enough to cultivate?" Lily’s face darkened with disappointment, as if she had been struck by lightning.
"It's because your body is full of mana. As a three-circle mage, you have too much mana stored up. You can't cultivate until that mana is replaced with Qi," Yuan explained, giving her the reason for the delay.
