Chapter 1701 Of Course
"But… The Ancient Battlefield is too turbulent to simply take them out. Also, if I throw such an imbalance into the Mortal Alliance so soon, the morale of the Clans will hit rock bottom. They'll feel that all the work they had done for the past near decade was meaningless.
"I want them to have a sense of belonging, I want our first victories to be as a result of our work together, not because my contributions overwhelmed theirs."
Listening to Dyon speak, Ri and Clara felt a deep fire light within them. They could see that their husband had greatly matured.
Of course, Dyon had no intention of completely ignoring his Titans, he would definitely bring some of them over to act as his personal Sworn Knights, but he wouldn't overwhelm the Mortal Clans with their numbers.
Dyon had worked too hard to construct a system where it felt like every Clan had a chance to rise to the top. If he toppled that system by bringing in unknowns to seek short term benefits, let alone building up the Mortal Empire, he would lose the hearts of his people.
Dyon's perspective on things felt much wider now, he wouldn't foolishly make such a mistake.
Plus, Dyon felt that the fire power he had now was more than enough.
Soon, the Title Spirits would perfectly form their bodies once more. Aside from the Demon Sage, who was so close to the Higher Existence Realm during his life, and Dyon's master whose soul was stronger than even Dyon's – things that would obviously force their bodies to take longer to reconstruct – the rest would be ready come the ninth month.
This would give Dyon an additional 11 lower dao experts under his command in addition to Amphorae, Glorianice, Zabia, and the five Ipsum disciples – Trot, Asuman, Bowie, Arlo and Iaachus. Dyon didn't believe it was necessary to have more experts than this, they should be enough.
Of course, there was one other that Dyon didn't count among this number, and that was the former Weapon's Guild Head who was currently still in a coma after suffering disastrous injuries. And, there was also the celestial beasts Dyon had yet to properly integrate.
Though Dyon was lacking in number of celestials, the people under his command were incredibly top heavy in terms of strength. If he planned diligently, he wasn't worried. And, by the time the war ended, the issue of lack of celestials would fix itself.
Dyon remained on the Peak Celestial Floors for a while, happily chatting with his wives. They asked him about what his plans were for the Flaming Lily Sect and were quite surprised by his answer, to the point of being speechless. But, Dyon was more surprised to find that no one came to bother him despite his having taken over Peak Gold City.
Though he expected that most would have learned their lesson by now, it was definitely a surprise that even the three Dragon True Gods hadn't come to find trouble.
Dyon thought that this might be because, unlike what happened on the Lower Celestial Floor, he didn't ban entry from anyone here, though his ban on Low Gold City was still in effect.
Still, the matter was rather odd….
In the end, Dyon left a clone and departed to Soul Universe with Ri and Clara by his side. The moment they returned, the three of them with their separate ways, eager to train.
Dyon, of course, had to see his little girl first. The moment he entered Luna's room, a young, spry little girl practically jumped several meters into his arms, her hearty giggling making Dyon's heart feel light.
"… Do you have to go, daddy?" Alauna pouted. She was normally very good, but Dyon had disappeared for several days. In truth, it was the first time she had been away from Dyon so long. It seemed he had been too reckless in staying in the tower for more than a day.
"Dad's going to do something very boring." Dyon pinched Alauna's little nose.
Alauna blinked with curiosity. "What's that?"
"Cultivation. To grow stronger to protect Little Precious."
Luna who had been watching this interaction suddenly felt there was an opportunity.
"I… I can help." She said softly.
Dyon looked over with a curious gaze.
He had decided that though he loved being with Alauna, he couldn't take her away from Luna. So, the two shared spacious room in Soul Palace.
Luckily, though Dyon did this to keep his distance from Luna, Little Alauna didn't find anything weird about this. After all, from her birth, she had always spent time with Dyon while she was awake, and went to sleep with Luna. Her immature mind didn't know anything about the matters of men and women and obviously didn't know that there was something odd going on with her parents' relationship.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn truth, if Dyon dual cultivated with Luna, his cultivation speed would overshadow Madeleine's and the speed he would have with the Energy Core.
The reason for this was simple. The Energy Core's legendary ability was related to spiritual veins and its ability to help them grow larger, it was its active ability that helped accumulate energy quickly. Simply put, Luna's ability to control energy was legendary while the energy core's ability to control energy was dependent on its user.
It was obvious which was better.
However, Luna wasn't about to suggest that she dual cultivate with Dyon. She knew her boundaries and she hadn't come anywhere close to crossing that one. But, that didn't mean she couldn't help.
"I'll gather the energy for you and purify it. Then you can use [Devour] on it. You'll cultivate more than ten times faster with my help. It won't be impossible to go beyond your goals." Luna explained.
Dyon frowned slightly as Alauna looked on curiously, wrapping her little chubby arms around Dyon's neck.
It was no wonder he was frowning. How was what Luna was suggesting different from using energy stones?
The reason using energy stones to cultivate was frowned upon was because it ruined your foundation by making cultivation too easy. If Luna both purified and primed the energy for him to devour, it would be the same as ruining his foundation, no?
But, it seemed that Luna had already thought of this.
"Don't worry, my help will be different from energy stones, especially if you filter in Primordial Energy. I have absolute control over energy, if you allow me to, I can even make your foundation firmer than it already is…"
