Reaper of the Martial World

Book 8: Chapter 39: Cold Qi (6)

Dyon looked at his wife, a charming smile on his face.

It was obvious to him that this ability to comprehend beasts to their core was something incredibly rare. In fact, if Dyon remembered correctly, there was a lady he met just moments before his first run-in with Diasho Ken in the Sapientia Quadrant. Her name was Brea.

Dyon remembered that she was said to have a constitution that made her incredibly sympathetic to beasts, this was why her reaction to thinking Dyon had abused the beast babies was so strong. In all likelihood, that constitution was a lesser form of Ri’s.

Back then, Brea couldn’t get an accurate read on the beast babies due to Dyon’s mask interfering, so she made wild assumptions. But, obviously, here, there were no obstructions.

‘How many of them do you think there are?’

Ri looked toward Dyon with a slightly worried expression. Although he was trying to hide it, she could tell that he was in incredible pain right now. If it wasn’t for his titan diamond body, he would have already collapsed.

‘This is just one colony. They split themselves four major oceans, each headed by one King. This is just a subordinate group, but they still rank relatively high. Beneath the King’s colony, they would be only two levels below.

‘King’s Colony, Noble Colony, Warrior Colony. There are only four King’s Colonies for each of the four major oceans. There are nine noble colonies under each of them. This is one of the warrior colonies, but it’s a top-class warrior colony, you can tell by the fact their leader is 1000 kilometers in length. Noble Clans are headed by blue whales that are 2000 kilometers in length. The Kings are 5000 kilometers in length.’

‘Warrior?’ Dyon frowned. ‘Who are they fighting? And if they’re used to fighting, why is it that they’ve completely ignored us?’

‘That information is out of my reach since it’s not directly related to the whales themselves…’ Ri said with a sigh. ‘… But I do know that they haven’t attacked us because they haven’t sensed any hostility from us.’

‘I was a little too ambitious in coming here.’ Dyon said bitterly.

How could he even make use of them? As of now, there was nowhere in Soul Rend Quadrant they could fit. Soul Planet didn’t have oceans large enough to hold even one of them, neither did the remaining planets under Dyon’s control. The only place Dyon could conceivably put them was Dark Ocean. Although its depths weren’t anywhere near the level of Earth, its width was far past Earth’s.

However, then what? Sure, Dark Ocean would gain a massive boost in protection, but when the Jafari Clan treasure completed its task, would it really be necessary? Not at all.

In addition, Dyon didn’t have a vessel large enough to carry even these 12. Well, he did: his Life Ring that Eli left behind. Its size was even larger than the celestial floors. But the problem was that it didn’t have large bodies of water. And it wasn’t like Dyon could just flood water into it either or else all of Eli’s hard work in adjusting the perfect ecosystems for plant growth would be ruined.

Plus, since the whales lacked cultivation, they couldn’t fly either…

All of this was a shame too considering the uses of the beast compendium.

Obviously, the beast compendium didn’t have a seal perfectly tailored to these blue whales in it, but it did have seals for whale-like creatures within it. Considering these whales were just common grade beasts, believe it or not, the beast compendium would work on them with ease.

This was the reason the blue whales had no cultivation. Their talent for cultivation was trash as common grade beasts. It was just that their bodies had obscene talent for refinement and growth. But, this wouldn’t affect the abilities of the beast compendium in sealing them.

However, the effort needed… It just didn’t seem worth it. In order to use the beast compendium, Dyon would need to activate his soul qi. Although his soul qi was exceptionally robust and could resist, it had to be noted that they were far closer to the blue whales than they were before. If they had such a profound affect on Dyon from more than 500 000km away, then what affect would they have now?

Well, saying more than 500 000km away was a bit inaccurate. Rather, 500 000km away from Dyon, but not his divine sense whose boundary had actually been no more than a few dozen miles from the whales. That’s why the effect was so pronounced.

Still, wouldn’t be worth it to risk it all unless Dyon was certain that the payoff would be worthy of his efforts.

Who would have known that the moment he was worrying over this, his loving wife would step in.

‘You know, you never let me finish explaining to you the treasures Clara and I found in the vaults.’

Dyon looked down at Ri only to get flicked in head.

Suddenly, he realized that Ri was right. Back, more than two years ago now, when Dyon had been listening to Ri’s explanation of the benefits they gained, they had gotten sidetracked over the matter of Jasmine, so most of what Dyon heard was pertaining to the timeless and spaceless stones, not to mention the hidden energy stone mines within Dark Ocean.

But, other than that, Dyon never got anymore information. In fact, it had slipped his mind until now.

During the past two years, he had been focused on tempering his mind and enjoying life, so he never bothered with those matters. But, now he felt bad. Ri and Clara had risked their lives to retrieve these treasures, yet he didn’t even bother with them.

‘Hmph, now you know your wrongs.’ Ri left Dyon’s arms, crossing her own with a reproachful gaze.

Only after a few minutes of sorrys and loving coaxings did Ri finally smile sweetly and nod in satisfaction.

‘The Elvin Kingdom has many beast holding vessels, after all, we’re beast tamers. The Rainbow Kun Peng weren’t the only sea creatures we tamed.’

Ri took out numerous orbs, they each looked like snow globes, holding a different environment in each. The ones that quickened Dyon’s breath, however, were the ones filled with vast oceans that might not have been as large as Earth’s, but were still more than large enough to suit their needs.

‘These are high grade Beast Spaces. Supreme grade ones like these are incredibly rare because they’re essentially their own mystical worlds. However, they lack the ability to create their own resources like true mystical worlds do. Still, they’re very good for nurturing beasts as long as you give them enough energy.

‘Other than that, they have to be fed a certain amount of spaceless stones in order to maintain their integrity. Good enough?’

Dyon grinned wildly. It seemed it was time to do something crazy.
