Book 8: Chapter 162: Cages (3)
“These are the cages…”
Dyon silently gazed upon the dungeons that once took up a large majority of Middle Sapientia City’s underground. Now that he was back, it was obvious that he could give anyone he pleased permission to enter Soul Universe. So, the cages were displaced here as a whole.
Currently, they were being held in a large underground space below Soul Palace. Dyon had actually asked for Meiying to design this place so that he could train himself and his Demon Generals here. It was known as Utopia.
Due to the fact it was deep within Soul Planet, similar to the Belmont Catacombs of Earth, Meiying had a lot of freedom. Because of its location, many Feng Shui points were in close proximity, so with proper handling, it could easily turn into a cultivation haven, especially since Soul Universe was such an energy dense universe to begin with.
For now, the space was quite bland. It was large and mostly gray, stretching for several dozen kilometers in every direction. The only markers were the pillars the upheld its construction. Mortal world technology would never be able to construct such a place, but cultivators made it possible.
“Right.” Zaire nodded as he was the one who hauled them all here. Considering how tired he appeared, it definitely wasn’t an easy task. “Be careful, brother. If we make a mistake, those inside could die.”
Dyon nodded seriously. “Little Yin, can you make it inside these cages.”
‘Mhm. It’s very easy for us.’
As Dyon expected, there likely wasn’t a place in existence the celestial hamsters couldn’t infiltrate, as long as they didn’t have someone to bring along with them, that is.
“Alright, do so. We’ll see if [Shares Senses] works or if it’s blocked.”
Faster than he expected, Little Yin came back.
‘Did you feel that?…’
Dyon nodded seriously. “The connection I had with you was so faint that I almost thought it cut us off completely. [Share Senses] won’t work in this situation… But to think something like this was possible…”
‘They hid a separate realm within the cages. If they’re forcibly opened, the stabilization of the world collapses, resulting in the death of everything inside.’
Dyon thought seriously for a moment…
When he sent Little Yin several universes away from himself to accompany Clara, their connection had grown faint as well. But, it was even more exaggerated now.
This also confirmed one another thing… Dyon could take Amphorae to the celestial floors and even the saint floors as long as she was within his Inner World despite the fact that she had already formally entered the dao floors. This meant that separate realms could circumvent the rules of the Epistemic Tower. Simply put… The individuals trapped in this cage were not necessarily less than 5000 years old…
They could very well be extremely dangerous.
Dyon turned to Zaire. “Bring Amphorae and Granny Celest here. We can’t do this without them. Bring Little Lyla as well… Her abilities will be especially important right now.”
Dyon didn’t even feel embarrassed asking for such a thing. Wouldn’t it be foolish for him to lose his life because of something as stupid as empty pride? Zaire didn’t hesitate to go.
“What was the situation in there, Little Yin?”
‘Though it’s a separate world, it’s incredibly small, only about double the size of what we can see from the outside. Stabilizing the spatial qi long enough for them to walk out will be easy.’
Dyon nodded. “How many of them are there? And what are their cultivations?”
‘There at least five or six in each of the 12 cages, and they’re all dao experts as big brother speculated, but…’
“But?”
‘It feels like their cultivation was artificially inflated to that point. They definitely have no chance of progressing further in the realm. They’re more feeble than even most pseudo dao experts. If I had to speculate, I’d say that they used a method to break into the dao realm only so that they could gain 100 000 years of life.
‘Only four or five of them could be considered “true” dao experts, but even they’d be weaker than the typical 3rd Grade Lower Dao Expert.’
“An artificial increase? Weaker than even pseudo dao experts, huh…”
Dyon nodded. It didn’t matter to him. He didn’t want these people for their battle prowess. He was certain that the Sapientia wouldn’t lock them away because they were powerful. If the Sapientia deemed to lock these people away… It was definitely because they wanted their knowledge.
‘Look at them.’ Little Yang was practically in tears. ‘Already pretending like I don’t exist. Just wait until I awaken my bloodline you ungrateful wretches.’
Little Yin giggled at her brother’s antics.
As Dyon and the hamster twins were talking, four figures entered Utopia and made their way to his side. Zaire, Lyla, Amphorae, and the always smiling Granny Celest. Considering Little Yin’s words, it wasn’t absolutely necessary that they be here, but it was better to be safe than sorry.
“Alright, let’s do it, Little Yin.”
‘Un!’
The final sound before they began was Little Yang’s groan.
