Reaper of the Martial World

Book 10: Chapter 107: See (1)

Saru and Lilith couldn’t help but feel a keen pressure from Dyon’s words. Though they were willing to help, there was much about this situation that even Saru didn’t understand.

One had to understand that Saru’s inkling of understanding came from the Heart Sutra she practices. With it, there were certain links she could see between herself and Dyon that were inexplicable by normal means. As a result, she made certain deductions for herself, but even still, these deductions were not the whole truth.

However, judging by Dyon’s current demeanor, he had no real intention of explaining things fully.

“Saru, your Divine Elephant blood is very sparse in this life. We have to spend the time from now until the descent of the Ancient Battlefield purifying it. Only if it’s refined to its true peak will you be able to resist the suppression of the Immortal Plane.”

“My Divine Elephant bloodline? What do you need me to do… The Shruti Clan has put a lot of effort and research into finding methods to purify it, but haven’t found much success…”

Dyon smiled. “With me here, you don’t need to worry much about this. We’ll use your Indra Faith Seed aa a catalyst and sacrifice. We’ll then reform your body to the standards of your true pinnacle.”

“Sacrifice?” Saru’s charming blue eyes lit with curiosity.

Maybe others would fiercely reject the idea of giving up something as powerful as a Faith Seed, but Saru had unconditionally trusted Dyon for a long time already.

Dyon snorted slightly. “Indra is a mere disciple of yours. He would be happy beyond words if he knew his Faith Seed aided you in reclaiming your true strength.

“Faith Seeds are actually just the mortal remnants of those who failed to perfect their mortal bodies. The true powerhouses throughout history did not leave Faith Seeds behind, and as such, their wills were not passed on through the cycle of reincarnation.

“The irony of all of this is that those we call heroes or gods and worship on the Mortal Plane are actually the inferior and lacking. Those true powerhouses ascended with their Faith Seeds, utilizing their mortal bodies and evolving them to withstand the pressures of the Immortal Plane.

“Experts like Abraxus are unheard of on the Mortal Plane not because they are weak, but because they are strong!

“You, my Little Saru, and you, my Lilith, are both experts of this caliber. Unfortunately…”

Dyon’s visage darkened, recalling something that he didn’t want to.

Saru and Lilith looked at each other, not knowing how to respond. They could see the pain in Dyon’s eyes, but they didn’t know how to comfort him either.

Dyon shook his head and sighed. He had gone through all of this to have them by his side once more… Since they were now here, what was the point of feeling the sadness of the past?

With a new outlook he smiled and turned his attention toward Lilith.

“Lilith, your path with be much more difficult than Saru’s.”

“Why?” Lilith asked curiously.

“You do not have a special constitution or a special bloodline. All your life, you’ve always only had your sword. This is what makes your accomplishments so impressive.”

Lilith blushed. She didn’t know why she had suddenly gone back to being a little girl, but she didn’t mind the feeling either. Being praised by Dyon made her feel good.

“As much as I would love for you to follow this path once more and trust in your sword, it will take too much time. And, as things stand now, we barely have 80 years left.

“Currently, your sword dao has stalled at the 4^th realm, correct?”

Lilith’s happiness faded. Her sword dao which had always seemed to progress without bottlenecks had indeed stalled recently.

But, just as she was feeling down, she felt a warm hand on her head.

“There’s no need to feel down, it’s my fault that this has happened. How can you focus on your carefree Immortal Path if this husband of yours is always making your life a living hell?”

Lilith blinked and found this to be true. But, she no longer had the heart to blame Dyon.

“From now on, you no longer have anything to worry about. Nightmare Palace? Your future? The future of those you love? Allow me to shoulder them all.”

Lilith smiled, after the events of today, she really did feel free. Somehow, knowing Dyon really did love her and lifted all the burdens she felt. Even the matters of Nightmare Palace no longer concerned her. In her opinion, the Devil Quadrants falling into her husband’s hands was to their benefit. Why would she worry about it?

In that instant, she could already feel the barrier to the 5^th Dao Realm severely weaken. The path toward the 9^th Dao Realm became akin to a clear road to her. Maybe even breaking into the Law Realm wouldn’t be a problem for her in this mortal body.

“For you little Lilith, I’ve prepared something special. Everyone believes that there is only one way to Transcend, but this is not the truth. For you who has no special constitution or bloodline, there is no issue with discarding your mortal body completely. All that matters is you and your sword.” historical

The legends of mortals transcending without cultivating a day in their lives were not false… The Dyon with his memories sealed thought that these were just nice stories, but the Dyon with his memories unsealed had met these very people on the Immortal Plane already!

“I will teach you how to discard everything and embrace your path. You no longer need to cultivate, whether that be your body or your qi. All you need to do is focus on your sword and you will transcend before us all. For you, 80 years is already too much time.”

Dyon looked off into the distance and sighed. “After I show you two the path, you must go to the location I tell you in the Nephilim Alliance and find Jade and Rose. Rose will be stubborn, but it is not safe for them to be alone…”
