Book 7: Chapter 89: Pinned (1)
Dyon leisurely hopped from tree to tree, breathing in the sweet air. It had been a long time since he truly relaxed, this feeling was quite therapeutic for him. Only thing that would make it better was if he could practie his array alchemy in this kind of environment.
Despite having had his soul energy form comet and moon energy subsequently, Dyon had yet to form a single moon grade or even comet grade pill or formation. This was why his arrays still shone a normal gold color, because he was still forming low level arrays.
‘There are quite a few matured spiritual plants and fruits in this world.’ Dyon felt slightly excited as his divine sense focused on clumps of dense energy. Although he didn’t see in planet or star grade spiritual plants, he saw quite a few comet grade ones, there were even a few well-hidden moon grade ones!
Normally, one’s divine sense wouldn’t be able to find such amazing treasures. This was because they had methods of protecting themselves against such means. However, Dyon’s divine sense wasn’t normal by any stretch of the imagination. It was already stronger than what most dao formation experts could boast. Comet and Moon Grade spiritual plants had no way of hiding from him. Only planet and star grades could do so.
‘Mother-in-law’s pill… There are quite a few of the necessary ingredients here! In fact, all of them are here! This is good.’ Dyon grinned ear to ear as he closed in on the grey blob that blocked his divine sense.
One can imagine how many high-level spiritual plants there were here. After 120 million years of maturity, even planet grade spiritual planet could be matured!
‘I shouldn’t dig up too many of them right now, though. I should give them to Eli to handle. I believe I remember him saying that the spirituality of high-level plants can speed up the growth of lower level ones if used correctly. He’d probably kill me if I wantonly used these treasures…’
The trees slightly shook under Dyon’s weight. He surprisingly looked almost weightless despite the fact the reality was the exact opposite. Any expert watching him glide from branch to branch would suck in a cold breath after realizing just how profound his movement technique was.
Dyon’s movements seemed fluid beyond belief. In fact, every twitch of the muscles contained a separate and profound mystery that made it difficult to tell just what grade his technique was. Well, the truth of the matter was that he was currently alternating between three to five techniques for every given movement. Unless one knew before hand, it was impossible to tell.
With Dyon’s speed, he soon found himself just a few steps from the central plain clearing.
“Wow.” Dyon’s breath hitched.
The grey blob that he couldn’t see before? It was a castle that spanned tens of miles in ever direction. The most shocking part was that it wasn’t made of gold and silver, but of star and moon jade! Both of these precious materials were comet grade of the highest 6th
order! Building an entire palace out of such things?! The cost could only be counted in enigmatic stones!‘How luxurious…’ Dyon coughed. He didn’t know if this was how the wealthy lived or if the demon sage was just some nouveau riche expert squandering his earnings.
However, when he thought about it, he understood. Star and Moon Jade were known for their yin and yang purifying characteristics. They could filter energy into an easily digestible form, speeding up cultivation by several folds. It was especially useful for dual cultivation. Usually, one would only need a small pendant hung around your neck, but the Demon Sage actually made a whole palace?
“What the deal with this palace?” Dyon asked the twins. “How could there be so much Star and Moon Jade?…”
The eyes of the twins went opaque as the scanned the palace.
“Demon Sage Palace, an Immortal Abode and central to the Demon Sage Empire’s Power. It’s protected by – omitted –. Built 23 058 294 years ago, it’s tied to the speed of the Demon Sage’s speed of cultivation. It was once much larger, but 40% of it was sacrificed to the Timeless Library. This included over 95% of the Star and Moon Jade that once made it up, leaving only enough to cover the outer surface of the Palace.
“The Demon Sage placed this Immortal Abode here in order to protect the core of the world. Without the key or potential surpassing that of his current successor, the Palace will not open to you.
“The origin of the Star and Moon Jade is related to a master of Feng Shui. As such, these truths are hidden by heavenly laws and cannot be – omitted –.”
The twins continued to list off paragraphs of miscellaneous information, but Dyon had long stopped paying attention. His entire body trembled as he trained in on a single spot.
Currently, Dyon was still several tens of miles from the palace. Ahead of him, there was a simple and wide expanse of grassed lands. However, his divine sense didn’t work anywhere past the tree he stood atop of which was exactly why he hadn’t noticed earlier…
In the distance, six stakes stood pierced in the ground. Dyon’s heart beat quickened, a deep and bestial rage bubbling upward.
On these six stakes were none other than the bloodied and half dead figures of Zabia and the Dao Couple’s disciples…
Pinned up like dogs and dripping in blood, Dyon could already tell from here that three of them were dead…
