Book 8: Chapter 148: Easy Win (1)

The enigmatic sect, much like many other clans and sects like it, had its namesake chosen by the specialty of its land.The Flaming Lily Sect was built upon a planet in which a volcanic eruption cooled into the shape of Lily, making its fire affinity incredibly high. The Water Mist Sect, in addition to the Dark Ocean nearby, was known for its exceptionally high water content, leaving many of its planets an overwhelming 95% water. Likewise, the Enigmatic Sect was a haven for peak celestials. Rumors had it that it was three times easier to comprehend enigmatic qi within their border than outside of it, in some special areas, it was over ten to even more times easier.Much of the Enigmatic Sect’s revenue came from renting out portions of its land to geniuses. It wasn’t rare for those who had reached their potential within the celestial realm to come here in order to comprehend enigmatic qi.The truth of the matter that enigmatic qi got its name for a very special reason. Up until the celestial realm, most qi is conventional. However, the paths one can take with enigmatic qi are wildly variable. As such, this was how it earned its ‘enigmatic’ title.This said, most individuals still chose the conventional path. Only a rare few could comprehend a higher level qi. In fact, the qi one comprehended might not necessarily be better than the conventional path either.Either way, the Enigmatic Sect seemed to make finding and comprehending this path far easier. Oddly enough, it wasn’t because its qi density was higher. Its level of qi was no different from any of the other top eleven quadrants. It was truly a baffling mystery that had yet to be solved.This peculiarity made the Sect one of the most visited quadrants even to the point of overshadowing the Sapientia Quadrant. Though, considering the situation the Sapientia Clan was in now, they wouldn’t be much competition anymore anyway.  This was the place where Dyon and Amphorae appeared. A bustling city, filled to the brim with celestials. It looked like what Dyon would imagine a city in the middle ages to look like – cobbled roads and stone houses – however, it had one oddity that such cities couldn’t possibly replicate: their buildings were exceptionally tall.As one might imagine, renting space on Planet Enigmatic was incredibly expensive. As a result, most compensated for this by building upward.Buildings almost stacked upon each other like boxes. The structural integrity, or lack thereof, really made one raise an eyebrow. If a single earthquake ravaged this area, it was obvious that none of these buildings would survive. But, since this was a city of cultivators, a mere planetary earthquake wouldn’t be enough to harm them, which would probably explain this recklessness.Still, although the Enigmatic City looked a bit goofy, it had character and a rich culture. It made one feel cozy.‘So places like this can exist in the martial world too.’ Dyon lightly smiled, grasping Amphorae’s small hand. If he had to describe it, he definitely found this city to be a small, tight knit community where everyone knew everyone else. Though, considering the size, that much was impossible.“Let’s go.”Amphorae seemed to sense that Dyon was in a good mood and smiled as well, following after him. She seemed completely oblivious to all the stares she was receiving and only had eyes for Dyon. Though, it seemed that for the first time in her life, someone might actually be receiving more stares than herself. Dyon’s appearance was too shocking.“That… That woman, isn’t she the one who killed those six Moon Lords with the flick of two fingers?…”“Wait, she’s holding a man’s hand. Isn’t that True God Sacharro?!”The whole world was speculating about Dyon’s disappearance. News about what happened on the Middle Tier was slowly spreading, so everyone was wondering why the normally hot headed Dyon was nowhere to be seen. Wasn’t his wife being attacked?But here he was, in a place one would never expect to find him, holding the small hand of a beauty that made it feel as though their hearts could be ripped from their chests at any moment.Why had Dyon decided to appear out in the open like this? Simple. He was boldly stating to everyone that the Sacharro Clan feared no one.“I even dare to set foot on Planet Enigmatic after snatching all of their lower tier territory from them. Am I the kind of person you want to provoke?” That was what he was saying without speaking a single word…Dyon led Amphorae through the city, even openly laughing and joking with his wife.They stopped and visited many stores, even having a bite to eat at one of Enigmatic City’s famous restaurants.It didn’t take long for news of Dyon’s sudden and carefree reappearance to spread throughout the martial world. Even the Sapientia had stop putting out news under the guise that they couldn’t afford it anymore, numerous other sites had blossomed on the Navigator to replace it. The Sapientia simply didn’t understand yet that their presence was no longer needed.Finally, after Dyon had had his fun, he left toward the gates of Enigmatic City, heading toward his original goal all along.How did Dyon know that Lilith was here? The answer was obvious. He never trusted her. As such, he took the opportunity while he healed her soul all those years ago to place a tracking array on her soul. Though he didn’t dare to attempt to enslave her due to possible protections she might have, this much was enough.Soon, the equally bustling Enigmatic Sect appeared before them.
