Book 11: Chapter 35: Mount (2)
Madeleine cleared her mind. Pulling away, she grabbed Dyon’s wrist and led him deep into the city’s central mansion.
**
The mansion’s master bedroom was filled with a subtly enticing fragrance.
Madeleine lay limply on Dyon’s chest, her soft breasts waving with her every heavy breath. Though she was filled with a happy glow, there was a conflicting angst that left a bitter taste in her mouth. During the act itself, the couple had been able to forget everything, but after it ended, a familiar wave of emotion hit them.
Dyon silently clutched Madeleine’s waist. His grip was firmer than it should have been as though he was scared she would run away.
“How’s your cultivation?” Dyon suddenly asked.
“My soul is very close to breaching the Overlord realms thanks to you.” Madeleine said with a light smile.
The speed of improvement of the souls of Dyon’s wives was astounding. Even Luna who should have been completely unable to cultivate found that her soul strength was rapidly increasing.
One had to remember that it wasn’t that Eli couldn’t cultivate in the past, but rather that every step forward was difficult beyond belief to climb. Even after years of trying, and even after dual cultivating with Delia who had a God Constitution, he was only able to enter the 3rd stage of the Foundation Realm.
In much the same way, Luna’s own cultivation was exceptionally pitiful. Even after living for trillions of years, her true cultivation was also in the Foundation Realm.
However, Dyon’s soul seemed to be able to break those shackles for her. Currently, her soul had actually reached the very peak of the 6th Soul Stage and was very close to the 7th. Such a thing was unimaginable for other Heaven’s Children.
The 6th Soul Stage was already the peak level soul an Essence Gatherer could withstand, and she was already on the verge of breaching Saint Realms.
Of course, to Dyon, this was incredibly slow. To now, he had been dual cultivating with Luna for about 40 or so years, reason being that Luna avoided becoming too intimate with him before ingratiating herself with Ri, Madeleine, Clara and Amphorae. Yet, this was as far as she had gone.
For context, Dyon who entered the martial world alone with no backing or real resources, entered the 7th Soul Stage in just about a year or two. Even his wives who had a slower speed than him reached that level in less than 5 years. And much of that time he spent in a coma after fighting Elder Daiyu and Loki!
Yet, Luna had yet to reach that stage even after 40 years. The difference was incredibly stark. But, at the same time, the impressive nature of Dyon’s odd soul shone at the forefront.
Thanks to her improved soul strength, Luna suddenly found that controlling energy had become far easier. Whereas before she could only muster the strength to face Supremes, she now had no problem holding her own against two facet Overlords.
Her value as a trump card was even a level above Saru and Sargeras because no matter how strong she became, she would never be rejected by the Heavens.
This gave Dyon another avenue of improvement for Luna. If things progressed like this, maybe in another one hundred to two hundred years, Luna would be capable of controlling immortal qi on the mortal plane. In fact, due to the density of volatile energy on the Ancient Battlefield, she was even more powerful here as well.
“Also, after using [Reincarnation of Heaven’s Staircase], my comprehension improved the most, but my qi did as well. I just need a few more decades and my qi should reach the Overlord Realm as well. By then, I should be able to become a three facet Overlord.”
Dyon’s eyes flashed.
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing much…” Dyon said slowly. “… It’s just that I’ve confirmed something. The attack on the dwarves was instigated by someone, and it seems that someone was a member of the Phoenixes.”
“What animosity do the Phoenixes have with the dwarves? Or is it the elves?” Madeleine asked intelligently.
“I’m not certain, but what I do know is that the elves fought against the entity with the Celestial Deer Sect. At the same time, the old man alluded to the fact the rise of the Dark Phoenixes had the entity’s handprints all over it.
“The Ice and Fire Phoenixes subsequently decided not to act against the Dark Phoenixes, yet they chose to chase down Amethyst’s parents for daring to fall in love and have a child. This led to their destruction at Amethyst’s hands in the end…
“But, to be capable of wiping out two Clans of that caliber, Amethyst would have to be several times more powerful… The fact she left behind a Faith Seed meant that she didn’t perfect her mortal body which also means she couldn’t have possibly wiped out the Phoenixes alone…
“In that case, maybe the Dark Phoenixes weren’t alone in their actions at all. Maybe Amethyst was just a convenient figurehead for their demise. And maybe, the Phoenixes have a grudge against the elves and the Celestial Deer Sect as a result of whatever happened to lead to their end.”
Madeleine’s brows deeply furrowed. Hadn’t it become very obvious that The Entity was working with the Sapientia in recent decades? And hadn’t Amethyst’s first action when she met Madeleine been to burn away her Sapientia bloodline and even her Sapientia glasses?
If the Sapientia could remain as a hidden enemy for all this time, who’s to say there weren’t others?
“Come.” Dyon suddenly said, sweeping Madeleine’s naked body up. “Let’s go set a foundation for you to become a four facet Overlord.”
“Where…?”
“Phoenix Territory.”
