A sudden burst of light and the group of women found themselves at the edge of a temple. Even the female Heavenly Judge did not know how they had ended up in such a state.
"Please say your names as you enter the temple." A voice echoed.
The women began to say their names as Mizuki first then their actually names. Margaret, Amber, Violet, Liz, and Iris in that order went into the temple.
Outside the temple
"Greetings female who belongs to the Heavenly Judges." The Demon God stated before making a small visual of himself.
"Demon God, it is a pleasure to see you." The female Heavenly Judge replied.
She was a little shocked that he had appeared so suddenly but it was neither here nor there.
"An order from the Stairway has come. Ensure the proper emptying of their Dantians, even though they will not have Mortal Qi in them. They will be able to go back and forth into the Mortal and Demon Realms without having to use treasures or be apart of the Judge Tower."
The female Heavenly Judge was actually quite scared that she had to oversee such a grand mission. Emptying their Dantians would be disastrous normally but with them in this temple it was not bad for them too.
"Any other missions that we need to know as well?" The female Heavenly Judge asked.
Lilith who had come with them decided that it was time for a change.
"We know we are the ones guiding them. What makes our group so special that we are given special treatment to appear at the temple?" Lilith asked.
"I do not know nor can I ask that question again to the Stairway Conscious. She was upset that I asked that in the first place. She would not give me any information about it." The Demon God replied.
Even the two women felt that this was horrible. There should not be any reason that the Srairway Conscious holds back any information unless it is something that even it cannot delve into.
The two women walked into the temple. They were going to guide the other into draining their Mortal Qi.
Outside the temple
"Can I trust you to keep a secret?" The Demon God asked.
"Yes." The reply was short but it was meant more to just be the answer needed.
"I do not know what has happened. The women inside will get a pass into going into the Fifth Heavenly Realm.
Whereas most people just have to gather the things that are needed in this part of the First Heavenly Realm. The Stairway is just giving it to them in the rooms.
I truly do not know what is going on. I believe it was something between Rex and the Stairway. Although we lost cultivators in the War, because that was unavoidable.
I believe that you all entering was the deal struck to help strengthen the Realms. I do not know for certain but that is my belief." The Demon God mentioned.
The two men nodded in keeping that a secret. The Demon God vanished from sight and the Shadow Commander stood in front of the temple to protect the women inside.
Inside of the temple
"I am entering." Lilith said on the door to the left.
When she entered, she saw Violet sitting in a lotus style while looking at the different grasses and herbs around her.
She also saw a bowl made out of bark and a metal mortar. Lilith was surprised to see everything here already.
"Alright. Everything is ready for you. However, there is a preferred way and the way I did it. Most people just follow what they were told.
What I did first was use the pickle grass. It is the one that is extremely long but has rounded ends.
The reason why it was named is that because a man named pickle found it don't ask me why he was named that."
Violet began to grind the pickle grass. As she began to grind it into a paste, she could see when the paste would be perfect. The paste began to become solid as Lilith watched.
Suddenly, Violet began to just spin the mortar. A minute later, she stopped and showed the paste to Lilith who for some reason looked as if she was out of it.
Violet was afraid but Lilith saw it was a perfect paste. Lilith helped put the paste on her forehead.
"Next, grind these two herbs in a watery paste." One was a very leafy herb and the other was just a flower. Violet began to grind the two together.
"The flower is called Mooning Sun while the other is called Straight Stalk to the Moon. They typically grow together in an open field and it has various uses."
Once the paste was ready, Lilith was questioning her memory of how hard the paste is to make.
"This goes on your shoulders." Lilith helped her put it on her shoulders.
Once the paste was finished putting on her shoulders. The last two were a leaf and a couple pieces of wheat.
"Use this on straight on your Dantian."
Once the last of the wheat was put above the Dantian. The Mortal Qi inside of Violet disappeared.
Lilith and the female Heavenly Judge both helped the others get the Mortal Qi out of everyone.
