Reaper of the Martial World

Book 7: Chapter 201: Second Phase (1)

Looking down at himself, Dyon shook his head. He was practically coated in his own blood, he really should do something about that. The nagging sound of Lilianna’s voice in his Mind’s Eye only made things worse.

‘Can’t you be as quiet as Red and Green?’ Dyon said, clearly annoyed.

He had long since asked them for their names, but they both answered that they had forgotten long ago. So, he settled with referring to them by the color of their armors.

‘You stuffed me in here and never let me out! Madeleine at least let me see the outside world, but all I get with you is this endless black. Are you trying to drive me insane?’ Lilianna’s voice resounded in his mind.

‘I can always put you back into the torture sphere.’

‘You scoundrel!’

Dyon couldn’t be bothered to answer. Instead, he brought out a large vat. It looked like a massive porcelain pot of white, covered by a lid that weighed several ten million jin.

When Dyon conquered his second sky castle, aside from the green-armored guardian, most of the things he gained were absolutely useless to him. Many revolved around taking control of beasts much more powerful than yourself, but since he had Biibi, Sen, Shere and Linlin, he didn’t plan on doing so. At least not yet. Because of this, he planned on handing off much of what he gained to Ri. But, there were two things he set aside for himself that were extremely useful.

The first was a beast controlling formation compendium. This compendium gave detailed information about the best and most effective formations for absolute control over beasts, covering practically every Common, Earth and Heaven Grade beast to ever exist.

Beast Tomes provided a breakdown of anatomy of beasts, but this compendium went even further, detailing their evolutions, weaknesses, even to the point of detailing their DNA and chemical makeup. All of this was then condensed down to singular formation, one per beast. This formation had an 80% likelihood of completely enslaving the beast it was targeted toward, irrelevant of cultivation! If you drew the blood of this beast and added it to the formation first, this percentage would grow to 95%. historical

Of course, the only drawback of this book was that there were no beasts detailed above the Heaven Grade. It was also noted that these formations would drop to only 20% effectiveness if the beast in question was a King beast or if this beast followed the Human Path. Plus, there were high requirements for preparation. Other than that, it was practically perfect.

It had to be said that this compendium was on a completely different level that Dyon’s usual use of The Seal. Although The Seal was a treasure of the 33 heavens, Dyon had very minor understanding of the seal path. However, this compendium was written by a Higher Existence who gave her life to the seal path!

If Dyon coupled The Seal with the formations noted in the compendium, although he wouldn’t be able to increase the 80% and 95% threshold, he could increase the likelihood of enslaving a King or Human Path beast from 20% to 50%!

This sort of Beast Compendium could deal a devastating blow to the Five Clan Beast Alliance of Dyon’s home quadrant. So, Dyon immediately set it aside, slowly making plans for the future.

The second treasure he found that was of use was none other than this large vat.

This vat was filled with Dragon Saliva. Although this sounds disgusting, it was an absolute treasure. In fact, since the cultivation of the Dragons this came from were so high, there were next to no impurities to be found. So, instead of a foul stench, the saliva gave off a soothing fragrance that smelled like a fresh spring just after a light rain.

There were two major uses for this Dragon Saliva. The first was incredibly important the beast babies. After beasts evolve their bloodlines, they undergo a period of instability. This saliva was not only able to instantly end this period, it was also able to perfect the fusion and ignore any rejection the original blood might experience with the new one. This would cause a qualitative improvement in the beast’s strength.

However, obviously, this wasn’t why Dyon would use it. He had already given the beast babies an adequate portion each and they should be out of their training any time now. Instead, his use lied in this saliva’s more mysterious origin.  

Dragon Saliva didn’t refer to the spittle within their mouth, but rather the mucus that coated their throats and vocal cords. In the ancient era, the scariest magic to exist was tied to ‘Dragon Tongue’ that relied on these very portions of the body.

If one thought back to the Dragon Transformation Technique of the Viserion Clan, the very same technique Dyon stole during his second trial, the later portions referred to tempering one’s Vocal Cords. Doing this would allow one to speak Dragon Tongue, an ancient magic that shook even the most powerful Higher Existences.

The use of this magic was lost to the Dragons now, but during the time before this Mystical World was created, it was still very much prevalent. Whenever Dragons used Dragon Tongue, ancient magic and its mysteries would accumulate in their throats, causing a qualitative change in the saliva over extended periods of time.

This vat here was filled with that very same mucus! It was the richest source of cultivation energy possible in the martial world, and it was incomparably gentle. Using this saliva, Dyon could propel himself to the peak of the saint realm and fill his 117^th meridian completely!
