Book 7: Chapter 325: Fate Breaking (3)

After he left, Dyon talked to Kaeda once more, wondering why she hadn’t moved the twins to the celestial beast mystical realm. But, he soon learned that Kaeda had already thought of this, but for some reason being there only worsened the symptoms of the twins. Not long after that, they learned that even direct sunlight caused then an inordinate amount of pain.

In the end, they could only place them in a dark room, doing whatever they could to alleviate their pain.

Dyon sighed. Were the Heavens really so unfair? Two orphans, who practically spent their whole lives as slaves, now didn’t even get to enjoy freedom when it was handed to them.

Of course, Dyon had done everything he could to examine their bodies. But even with his divine sense, he couldn’t find what was wrong. And, for the first time, not only was his grand teacher stumped, so was the [Dao of Array Alchemy].

Dyon wanted to toss it to the back of his mind, but he couldn’t. Every time he tried all he could remember was Mia and Bella risking their lives to save those poor soul slaves. If it hadn’t been for them, Dyon’s rash actions would have lead to the deaths of millions.

It was clear that the former soul slaves felt this aching too. Although Dyon was a lofty figure they had never met, many of them had interacted with Mia and Bella for years now. In fact, the two of them had been acting as Eli’s assistants during Dyon’s absence, so they spent a lot of time directly treating them and helping them grow past their trauma. They had even personally helped many of the soul slaves find their parents, not showing any dissatisfaction despite being orphans themselves.

Not knowing what to do, Dyon locked himself into a room after calling for a meeting of all family and sect heads three days later.

Luckily, he wasn’t to the point of endlessly brooding. While there was this shadow in his life, there was some good too.

After his trip to the golden flame mystical world, he had made an almost unreasonable amount of gains, practically gaining the wealth of a higher existence all to himself. Of course, it wasn’t that exaggerated considering how many resources Orcus wasted, but that was what it felt like to Dyon who hadn’t known what true wealth was until now.

Soon, hundreds of ingredients spread out before Dyon before the Battle Cauldron appeared in his hands. These spiritual ingredients were none other than what Kawa, Ri’s mother, needed to bring herself back to full health. After almost 30 years now, she’d finally be able to re-enter her human form.

Before Dyon entered his trials, he asked his grand teacher about his mother-in-law’s plight. According to the old guy, Kawa needed a Barrier Breaking Pill.

From Abraxus’ words, the barrier breaking pill was a comet grade pill, however, in today’s society, it was likely categorized as a star grade one. Of course, this was due to the banishment of array alchemy as a practice. Every time Dyon remembered that Madeleine’s birth mother, Nora, wasn’t able to concoct a mere master grade pill despite supposedly being a moon lord, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

After thinking this thought off-handedly, Dyon’s eyes narrowed. Although his hands never stopped processing and readying ingredients, his mind was in another world.

Moon Lords were so rare in the tower quadrants… Could it be that Madeleine’s birth mother was a major figure among the Sapientia Guilds?

Dyon shook his head, there was no point in thinking about this now. The actions of Madeleine’s birth parents had always baffled him, he could never make heads or tails of them anyway.

The barrier breaking pill wasn’t normal by any means. As its name entails, it relates to breaking barriers, however what this barrier could be could almost be left up to the imagination.

There should be a distinction between ancient and normal pills. The barrier breaking pill was an ancient pill and as such was ranked much lower in the past than it was today. The pulse pills Dyon concocted also fell into this range. In fact, every pill Dyon created were to ancient standards thanks to the [Dao of Array Alchemy].

However, the Martial Saint pill Dyon and Ri found were star grade pills even by ancient standards!

As an ancient pill that was seen as a star grade pill today, the effects were unfathomable.

The barrier Kawa needed to break was the one she set in her youth. Originally, she chose the beast path. It was after she met King Acacia that abandoned this path to enter the human path. This resulted in a massive hit to her cultivation level and talent. Due to this, when Loki severely injured her utilizing the Cavositas Patriarch as a puppet, the backlash she withstood was far more severe than it should have been.

This barrier breaking pill would essentially allow Kawa to turn back the clock, placing her on the road of choice once more. This time, she could choose both paths!

It had to be said that the only reason Kawa chose the beast path to begin with was because she wasn’t aware how talented she was in her youth. She didn’t learn that she was the wielder of the River Kitsune’s Faith Seed until much later, so she was groomed to stay in her lane as a member of the pitiful Snow Clan. But now, Dyon would change her destiny.

With a faint smile, Dyon’s thoughts entered the Celestial Beast Holy Land, passing by one blood vat after another until his mind trained on one particular beast – The Celestial Fox!

By integrating this blood essence into the barrier breaking pill, it would take one step forward, becoming an ancient planet grade pill at no expense to Dyon. The best part was that the celestial fox was among the first celestial beasts to go extinct, making their blood vat one of the most potent.

Soon, the Fate Breaking Pill would be born!
