Reaper of the Martial World

Book 12: Chapter 11: Guilt (2)

Dyon didn’t spend very long reconstructing his Inner World, it was much less complicated than manipulating so many constitutions at once.

Dyon’s Inner World quickly expanded to ten meters. After Dyon’s comprehension of fundamental runes increased explosively thanks to Junior’s timely advice, he had the ability to build a world even larger than this, several hundred meters in diameter, in fact.

The reason he did not was because he wanted to focus on quality and not quantity. In addition, he didn’t want Saru and Lilith waiting for too long on their own any longer.

Though they could withstand the suppression, that didn’t mean it was comfortable to do so. Dyon felt more assured if he stayed by their sides.

Soon, Dyon’s cracked and dry lands became lush and green once more.

In addition, with the connection to the Heavens, Dyon’s vajra body and primordial yang no longer floated within his Inner World. Instead, they had relocated to his Mind’s Eye.

His nascent soul sat silently meditating with a crystalline chain wrapped across its body. Behind it, the large, looming form of his vajra body stood to its back, a sea of gold beneath the both of them.

Once he finished, Dyon began to greedily absorb the dense dao grade energies that swarmed him.

He didn’t cultivate. Rather, he poured them into his Inner World directly. In this way, he could segregate the qi from the Heavens and fuse them as part of his own world. Like this, his qi could become separate from the Heavens entirely.

After comprehending the fundamental runes of the mortal plane perfectly, something like breaking down the creation and formation of dao grade energies was as easy as breathing for Dyon. Making these energies his own was a simple matter.

Just half a day later, Dyon expelled a deep breath, waking up to a body brimming with power.

Not only had his stock pile of bold type, light type, and holy type energy reached astronomic levels. But now, he could completely deconstruct their fundamental runes. This meant that doing something like converting conventional qi into their forms was no longer a problem.

Simply put, Dyon no longer needed to return to the Ancient Battlefield to gain these special qis as he had had to do in the past. As long as he had enough conventional qi and enough time, he could do it himself.

[Author’s Note: Remember bold type: heavy qi, light type: light qi, good for speed and agility. There are other types as well, they just aren’t in this current cave Dyon is in. Once Dyon gets his hands on them once again, he’ll be able to break them down and reconstruct them as well]

Dyon finally turned his attention to Saru and Lilith who were both patiently waiting for him.

“… Before anything.”

Dyon’s soul quickly got to work. Based on his memories of Saru and Lilith’s preferred styles, he constructed several hundred sets of clothes for them. Of course, many of these clothes were just exact copies of things they had worn before, so it didn’t take too much creativity on his part.

After he did this, he sealed off a portion of the cave and built a hot spring for them. Considering how dangerous the waters of the Ancient Battlefield were, it wasn’t a surprise the two hadn’t had a good bath in a long while.

Considering they had qi, it wasn’t strictly necessary, and they still had a light fragrance to them. But, there were some things that were better done the old fashioned way.

Seeing how emotional the two got just by these two simple actions that took no effort on his part, Dyon’s guilt deepened. He allowed them all the time they needed to groom themselves. Since they had waited so patiently for him, how could he not do the same for them?

“… Um, Dyon?”

Behind a foggy screen, Dyon heard Saru’s voice. Without even needing her to finish, he smacked his own forehead with a palm.

Working quickly, he created numerous sets of undergarments for the two of them. Lilith’s assets were comparatively fuller, almost comparable to Madeleine. In fact, she was almost 6 feet tall, a height that outstripped his first wife completely. As for Saru, she was much more like Ri in stature, having a petite build and frame.

‘I don’t remember Lilith being so tall…’ Dyon thought absentmindedly. But, he didn’t think much of it. He really hadn’t paid much attention to Lilith at all in the last century.

“Take these as well.”

Dyon casually created a few half-immortal pills.

Now that he had fully comprehended the fundamental runes of the mortal plane, he was no longer restricted to creating grandmaster grade herbs as he had been in the past. Even creating star grade herbs was no problem. So, conjuring half-immortal pills from thin air was a simple affair.

Since he didn’t want to bother with a pill tribulation currently, he purposely lowered his skill to refine them to just the top grade.

Words of thanks Dyon waved off soon after sounded.

Though taking a bath was great, removing dirt from themselves was an easy affair. What Saru and Lilith were really worried about were the accumulated scars on their bodies. It made sense for them to worry about such things.

Even if Dyon had yet to acknowledge them, in their minds, he was already their husband. How could they not want to appear at their best? Still, they couldn’t help but feel shocked at the majesty of Dyon’s pills.

As for Dyon, his own shock came when the two beauties finally came into view a few hours later.
