Book 8: Chapter 30: Underestimation (3)
Madeleine singlehandedly overturned the situation. By now, she had taken up Amethyst’s primary weapon: the folding fan. Though Madeleine loved her lyre, especially since it was gifted to her by Dyon, too many of Amethyst’s legacy techniques relied on the fan, especially her dancing peacock techniques.Her folding fan had a beautiful elegance to it that complemented her perfectly. Every casual wave seemed to either cause untold destruction or heal swaths of individuals.Reincarnation dao didn’t have an obvious use. If Madeleine had life will, what good was reincarnation will? However, if it was so useless, how could the Fire Phoenix Clan have grown so powerful?When the uses of reincarnation will became known, it could only make one lament that they weren’t born as a Fire Phoenix.For one, a person who comprehended reincarnation dao was incredibly flexible, but not in a literal sense. Their bodies could easily undergo ‘rebirth’ without facing any repercussions. This was exactly how Madeleine opened her 112th Meridian with incomparable ease in comparison to before. With her comprehension of rebirth, her body could undergo drastic changes with little impact to her overall health.This concept was the same that governed [Reincarnation of Heaven’s Staircase]. However, when it was combined with Madeleine’s ungodly cultivation speed, it was brought to an entirely knew level.While life will could heal injuries, reincarnation will could reconstruct injuries! There was no doubt that life will was the far better healing will, however, life will only allowed one’s body to recover to its original state. Sometimes, even after healing, one’s body would be weaker. However, reincarnation will allowed one to evolve with every injury!When life and reincarnation wills were combined, the result was something straight from the Heavens themselves.Accidentally ruptured a meridian while undergoing cultivation deviation? No problem, now your meridians are stronger than they’ve ever been. Broke a bone? No problem, here are stronger bones. Fainted due to exhaustion? Don’t worry, now your stamina is even greater now.This ability allowed Madeleine to enter the leagues of Crystal Dragons, gaining the chance to continuously increase her mental energy pool with her reincarnation will.One had to know that there were even higher levels of reincarnation will as well. What Madeleine had comprehended was just the surface. There was a chance that Madeleine could grasp the same Samsara Heart that Abraxus had. In that case, it was possible to connect her comprehension to time and gain a grasp of it as well.Clearly, Titus knew none of this. Yet, he foolishly sent the Golden Crow Sect to their deaths. Considering Titus had given the Fire Dragon Clan a retreat notice after Dyon humiliated him, the situation of the Golden Crow Sect was even worse. In fact, as of now, the Flaming Lily Sect was already counter attacking, grasping the lands of the Sect one after another.With God Goldeen and the Four Scions dead, what could they do? Their backbone was gone.This time, the martial world gained a new appreciation for Madeleine. Dyon’s words about his wife not being a woman you could simply trample on when you deemed it fit rang too true for them to ignore.However, others clung onto something else. Dyon had said that Madeleine was his First Wife specifically, could it be he had a second?Many ignored this though. Since Madeleine was the first wife, she was likely the most powerful right? There was no need to think about it anymore… Whether this thought would remain would depend on when Amphorae would decide to show herself.**All this time, Empress Aspirant Cativa had been fighting against 10 000 puppets, but she was growing more frustrated than she’d ever care to admit. Even her delicate features were flushed with rage.These puppets seemed invulnerable to everything. Even when they went all out and managed to cause a small nick, it would immediately self-heal. Before today, Cativa would have rather died than admit such overpowered puppets could exist.But, she had a light of hope. She knew that logically, powering such strong puppets took an ungodly amount of resources. But, as the hours ticked by, she grew more anxious.Not long afterward, Diasho Ken was defeated. Then the reverberating battle between Drathal and Dyon reached her ears. But that suddenly came to an end, all for the destruction of the three lower celestial True God army to end it all.Was there even a point in continuing? Even if she was stronger than Diasho Ken, could she say she was stronger than Drathal? Not definitely, anyway… And what about Rahl and Kere? Cativa mistakenly believed that Dyon had a hidden trump card that made those arrogant 3 retreat.When Dyon appeared above the skies in the grey, snowing land, it was the final straw. Empress Aspirant Cativa ordered a retreat and Dyon didn’t chase.Dragging their injured companions away, Cativa and the Star Force retreated. Dyon simply watched them without doing a single thing.Finally, Dyon’s mind had time to pay attention to other things. His brow furrowed when he noticed that his clone had decided it was time to approach Aritzia. Since this was the case, things were getting serious now. He couldn’t remain idle any longer.By Dyon’s calculations, in another year, all of his Demon Generals would become middle celestials. Then, he could move forward to the middle tier. However, it didn’t escape his notice that he was lacking in something very important: numbers.Other quadrants had millions of celestials, even billions, under their wing. But, Dyon had a pitiful 3000. The disparity in quality was clear, but this wasn’t good enough.Unfortunately, this was something that could only change with time. Dyon could only slowly nurture his people for now and hope those youths matured well.
