Book 7: Chapter 338: Abstinence (1)

Madeleine sat quietly meditating in a sea of flames. Without even the smallest fabric to cover her gorgeous body, her flawless skin sparkled under the flickering lights.

Currently, Junior was with Delia and Aiden. It seemed the two boys had become inseparable, and considering Aiden was quite a calm baby to begin with, Delia didn’t find many problems babysitting them both. Although some worried about what would happen to Junior and Aiden’s friendship once Junior awoke to his identity as a clone, there was nothing they could do about it for now.

Over the past few weeks, Madeleine’s cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. Although this wasn’t reflected in her stage which had stagnated at the middle celestial realm, it shone forth in her comprehension. Whether it be the Book of Creation, the comprehension of Rebirth from the Fire Phoenix Clan, or these scolding blue flames around her, each was a treasure trove that could make even the hearts Dao experts palpitate.

The Book of Creation was none other than the technique book Dyon retrieved for Madeleine. He had originally believed that it was a composition following music will, but under Madeleine’s guidance, he learned that it actually acted a sort of abyssal core for the creation path.

Abyssal cores for such ethereal, intangible paths were so beyond rare that their prevalence in the current martial world could likely be calculated with one’s own two hands.

After hearing Madeleine’s explanation, Dyon believed that this Book of Creation was no less of a treasure than any of Orcus’ Core Treasures and Teachings. The odd part was that it was stored away in a mere second phase castle.

That said, after some thought, this mystery had an explanation as well. Orcus never comprehended the path of creation. In fact, it could be said that he followed a path directly opposite to it. Therefore, although his depth of cultivation told him that this was definitely a treasure worth keeping, he never understood its true worth.

As Madeleine said previously, Dyon must have comprehended a path of creation without realizing it. If not, it would have been impossible for him to see the value of this technique book. As for what this path of creation was and where it stemmed from, Dyon had no idea. But, he speculated that it was related to his manifestations.

He could still remember the words of his humanoid manifestation: once his path of sovereignty met his path of creation, he would form a new path that dwarfed the nine dao hearts.

Madeleine’s lips suddenly curled into a light smile as she felt two large hands envelop her breasts. Try as those hands might, the soft flesh continuously spilled from their grasp. It seemed Madeleine’s voluptuousness was unmatched still.

“How’s your progress?” Dyon’s voice whispered into Madeleine’s ear, sending a shiver down her spine. Whatever comprehension path she had been on vanished in a puff of smoke. Maybe someone else would have been angry at this turn of events, but Madeleine knew that Dyon would never interrupt her if she had actually been on the verge of something great. These were just insignificant gains.

When Madeleine opened her lips to answer, a soft moan escaped them. In her concentration, it seemed she had almost forgot how much she loved Dyon’s touch.

Somehow, his hands felt better than they ever had. There was a domineering forcefulness, but a gentle care at the same time. Before she could even realize that she had involuntarily leaned back into Dyon’s chest, almost begging him to do as he pleased, one hand had already left her breast, delving into the dangerous territories below.

Madeleine’s arms wrapped around that evil adventurer, but not to stop it. She simply clung on desperately, as though she was a lone passenger of a boat caught in a storm’s onslaught.

“Mm … I think I’m close to … Mm … Grasping the essence of …” Madeleine bit her lip, tightening her grasp on Dyon’s arm. The sharpness of her nails almost begged him to go faster. “… Rebirth … Mm … But I’m missing … Missing an under … standing … Mm … Of death …”

Of the three phoenix paths, rebirth was definitely the most enigmatic and difficult to grasp. But, legend had it that its abilities were otherworldly. Techniques like [Reincarnation of Heaven’s Staircase] which could allow Madeleine to become a Higher Existence in one leap was just the tip of the iceberg.

But, with that power came a corresponding difficulty. How could one grasp Rebirth without first both comprehending life and death?

Although Madeleine comprehension of Life had skyrocketed, now standing on par with her flame dao at the 9^th intent realm, her comprehension of death was nonexistent. Even worse, this sort of imbalance made Rebirth even more difficult to comprehend.

What made things especially difficult was the fact Madeleine’s comprehensions were directly associated with her flames’ characteristics. Although it was precisely because of her flames that Madeleine grasped life will so easily, sifting through the abilities of two flames and four characteristics was still incredibly difficult.

Madeleine’s lack of comprehension forced the characteristics into a terrible imbalance that not only weakened her flames overall, but also forced dormant characteristics into a corner, making them harder to grasp.

“Oh?” Dyon smiled, lightly kissing Madeleine’s neck as her fragrant juices continuously coated his dexterous hands. “I think I might have a solution for that.”

Dyon couldn’t be happier with the solution he thought of. The Dragon and Phoenix dual cultivation technique surpassed the mystical grade. How could its uses be simple? It was just that Dyon’s comprehension was laughable in the face of an Ancestral Grade technique.

However, now that he had grasped some understanding of Primordial Yins and Yangs, a whole new world was opened to him.
