Book 6: Chapter 302: New Order (1)

Just a few hours later, Lilith left the Master’s Peak completely expressionless. Except for the cold glint in her dark eyes, it was impossible to tell anything else about her emotions.

As for Dyon, he didn’t see her off. The only reason he forced Lilith to take her clothes off to begin with was to ensure that her mind was too distracted to think about the details of what was happening. After all, he didn’t want the secret of the Soul Tome to leak.

Still, his Demon Sage’s blood couldn’t help but roar in agitation, causing the only sound in the room between them to be the fierce thrumming of his heart. It was even worse now that his yang qi had increased to inconceivable levels.

The experience of wanting to hate and ignore a beauty, but being completely unable to do so made Dyon even more determined to visit the Crystal Dragon Clan.

In the end, Dyon forcefully suppressed his desires and coldly sent Lilith on her way. In return, he received the key and an answer to a question.

By his estimation, Lilith’s soul was of the 7th stage. Not only that, she also had a high 2nd stage innate soul, only a single step below Clara.

Considering 3rd stage innate souls were only an anomaly afforded to those with innate auroras, something exceedingly rare except for within the Soul Rend Quadrant, Lilith represented the peak of what a “normal” individual could achieve in terms of soul talent.

Of course, Clara also had an innate aurora, so her peak 2nd stage innate soul also improved to the 3rd stage after her manifestation was awakened, just like all other innate aurora wielders. It was only Dyon who innately had a 3rd stage innate soul that then improved to the 4th stage after his manifestation was awakened.

This was all to say that Lilith’s soul was very talented, yet, it was of the 7th stage while Asyna’s was already at the 8th. Plus, Asyna was almost two years younger than Lilith! It didn’t make much sense…

Because of his curiosity, Dyon decided to directly ask Lilith about this, using the excuse that she had given her more trouble than the key was worth.

Maybe it was because she was stimulated by Dyon assuming Asyna was more talented than she was, or maybe she was still angered with Dyon to the point where she wanted to talk down to him, Lilith spoke more than Dyon expected her to.

It seemed that just like her energy cultivation, Lilith was purposely not breaking through.

However, that didn’t explain why Asyna’s cultivation was so high. So, Lilith continued to explain that the Mathilde family had its own special means of increasing soul cultivation, including their own personal collection of ancient trees.

Although Dyon wanted to ask more about the Mathilde family, it became very clear very quickly that Lilith had noticed the oddity in her behavior and thus decided to not speak anymore.

For obvious reasons, Dyon didn’t have any good feelings toward the Mathilde family. He thought that their survival was too… suspicious. For a person to give up their life to foretell of the apocalypse of the elves, only for an entire family to not only survive, but be flourishing?… It was too inconceivable.

‘I’ll be paying a visit to the devil quadrants one way or another. Whether it be for Soul Market or my Ri’s ancestors, they’ll pay a price. It’s the least I owe them for robbing their tombs.’

**

By the next morning, as Dyon expected, the scars from his battle with Lilith had disappeared. Although the buildings weren’t privy to the same healing factor as the earth and plant life, that was only to be expected.

Over the past four days, the signs of the battle between Dyon and Sokzac had almost disappeared completely. If it wasn’t for the fact many buildings were still ravaged and destroyed, it would seem as though nothing had happened.

As Dyon expected, the devil cultivators had disappeared under the cover of night. He didn’t know where they went, but he also didn’t care. If they were smart, they wouldn’t continue to make an enemy of him.

There were plenty of sects in the cosmos that didn’t care about your origin and only chose disciples based on talent. Although they’d have to hide their identities as devil cultivators, still, it wouldn’t matter too much to them. After all, they only needed the status of a sect in order to undergo their trials and eventually attend the auction that would be held in a decade or so.

In fact, if Lilith managed to become a key wielder elsewhere, it wouldn’t matter if she was exposed. After all, there were many other weak quadrants they could take advantage of.

For now, Dyon pushed that to the back of his mind. The task at hand now was to reform Universe Cathedral as a whole.

There were only six inhabited planets, each controlled by their respective peaks. So, Dyon didn’t believe the task would be so difficult.

He had sent an order just a few days prior to call for not just representatives, but every living member of each sect to journey to Planet Cathedral for this day.

As for how they’d react to his news rules? He didn’t care. They only had one option, and that was to obey. Unless that rumored dao formation expert truly existed, Dyon was certain that there was no one in this universe that could threaten him.

At that moment, Dyon stood in the skies, waiting patiently as the core elders below organized the peaks within the very same coliseum that assessments were held in. Soon, he would speak.
