Book 8: Chapter 160: Cages (1)
“You were reckless.” Dyon looked toward Lilith with a reproachful gaze. He didn’t seem fazed by the leap forward her beauty had taken after entering the celestial realm. Aritzia was quite beautiful as well, but that didn’t mean Dyon would hesitate to decapitate her if she appeared before him.
Lilith’s first instinct was to make a biting remark back, but she held back. She realized that it was reckless of her to trigger her tribulation in such a densely populated area. She just kind of… Trusted Dyon to handle it.
“… I know. I got too excited.”
Luckily, the damage wasn’t too bad due to Dyon protection. But, if Lilith’s recklessness had harmed Mia and Bella’s graves located to the back of Soul Palace, he might have directly kicked her out.
“The Sect’s administration will handle your registry and your allocated resources. They’ll also prepare your disciple robes and take a request for a type of treasure you might want. And no, you can’t have your Clan’s dome treasure back.”
Lilith’s lip twitched. The way Dyon spoke about supreme grade treasures… it was like he didn’t understand that Clans and Sects would war for countless years over one. Yet he casually said he refused to hand back a treasure he had taken from someone he supposedly wanted to ally with.
But, all of Lilith’s dissatisfaction disappeared like the wind when she saw the resources she was being given. 100% Top Grade pills?! Even geniuses of the outer quadrants didn’t receive such treatment, right?! With these pills, her conventional cultivation would skyrocket. If she had Dyon make her devil path pill… Wouldn’t she become unstoppable?
She could request a transcendent grade treasure too?! It was true that as of now, there were only two core disciples… Her and Damaris. But Dyon had said that Asyna, Sokzac, Baccar and RolRol would receive the same treatment. Did he really plan to hand out a transcendent grade treasure out so easily?
Lilith’s own katana was a transcendent grade treasure and she treasured it more than her own life… In fact, she never used its full strength for fear experts of the Enigmatic Sect would try to take it from her. Yet Dyon was just casually handing out treasures of that caliber…
She couldn’t understand… Was he being reckless with the wealth left behind by the Celestial Deer Sect? Or could he truly sustain such expenditure?
If Lilith knew it was more latter, she’d probably be even more shocked.
The resources in Dark Ocean were one factor, but the treasures left behind by the Elvin Kingdom were vast and far reaching as well…
While Clara was the Head of the Administration, the process had been streamlined by the Mortal Network, allowing its work to become easy to accomplish. Meaning, she spent most of her time doing what she did best: being a Comet Lord.
Clara’s weapon’s forging ability was far beyond Dyon’s. Dyon didn’t have the time to practice, so this could only be expected. But, that didn’t mean that it was a win be default either. Clara was incredibly skilled at doing something Dyon was lacking in: combining mortal world technology with martial world concepts. After all, the Mortal Network was her idea and creation.
Unfortunately, Clara was still in a deep sleep now. But, when she awoke, there was no doubt of her impact.
Simply put, with all the resources she had at her fingertips, coupled with the small number of individuals she needed to forge for, she could afford to outfit core disciples with transcendent grade treasures of their own.
Of course, as Soul Rending Peak expanded, the need for more Comet and Moon Lord talents would become more obvious. But, for now, Clara alone was enough.
‘Wow…’ Lilith didn’t know what to think. ‘… If this can be expanded to a large stage, it really might be possible to sweep over the Mortal Plane… The question is… Do enough talents exist for such a thing?…’
As though to answer her question, Lilith accidentally wandered into the Array Alchemy Faction. What she saw shook her to her core.
After fusing the spark to her soul, her senses had grown to another level, making her incredibly sharp. This building… It was filled with soul talents.
‘Thousands of third grade souls and countless millions of second grade soul talents. This…’
Having an innate soul wasn’t as rare as having an innate aurora, but if one’s innate soul was grand enough, having an innate aurora was guaranteed.
‘How many innate auroras are there in the whole of the mortal plane? A few dozen? Maybe? So how are there thousands of them here?!’
If one was born with a 3rd stage innate soul, they were guaranteed to have an innate aurora… The martial world had been desensitized to the shock of Dyon’s innate aurora already, but what would happen if they suddenly learned that he had thousand hidden here, all working on their own various projects.
‘Even if one had so many talents, was it even possible to nurture them all? Could there possibly be enough teachers?…’ Lilith’s heart palpitated, watching as some older gentlemen walked around, mentoring and guiding the young talents.
That was when yet another bolt of lightning struck Lilith.
‘Those eyes, that smirk, that air of confidence… That infused, perpetual Presence…’
It was then that Lilith realized the level of pressure Dyon was under constantly. These mentors… They all looked different, but they were all one person… Dyon was guiding them all alone…
