In truth, this slowing was even more cruel than it seemed. It made a single second feel like several days. While it had been 30 years in real time, someone being punished in this way would feel as though they had experienced tens of thousands of years.
Of course, it wasn't Dyon himself who had comprehended this fearsome ice will. It was instead the Aedre Clan.
Thinking back, Ri's best friend in the Elvin Kingdom was Primrose Aedre. In fact, Dyon remembered that Primrose spent years pretending to be Ri and creating a resistance group within the Elves. When Dyon first met "Princess Alexandria" he was in fact meeting Primrose.
Unfortunately, due to their years apart, Ri's relationship with Primrose had grown quite distant. But, this was a story for another time. The important piece here was that the Aedre Clan, Primrose's Clan, was responsible for this fierce ice will.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs for how Jade sealed herself, after thinking to this point, Dyon believed he understood. Aside from Ri, Primrose was very close with Opal, Mithrandir, Celine and Jade. After Jade concluded her contract with the Daiyu Clan and cut ties with them, Jade likely found Primrose in secret to help her with this task, swearing her close sister to secrecy.
Dyon could imagine the kind of burden Primrose held all these years. He had truly neglected the Elvin Clans too much. Each of their nine clans, not even including the Acacia Clan, had powerful legacies hidden within themselves.
The Grimbold Clan and their love of war and fire. The Aedre Clan and their water will specialization. The Sigebryht Clan and their mastery of Seals. The Coventine Clan and their delicate Wood nature. The Fletcher Clan and their expert bowmanship. The Ingram Clan and their comprehension of the enigmatic Light Will. The Nodin Clan and their command of the skies and wind. Not to mention the Norville Family and their understanding of emotions, specifically Desire.
Of course, this leaves out the Eostre Clan who had been sentenced to forever kneel before Ms. Everdeen's grave. But it was likely best that their manifestations never saw the light of day again. Even if they were one day pardoned, they would have to choose a new path for themselves.
This realization made him understand that in his blind pursuit of power, not only had he lost himself, but he had also forgotten the strength that already belonged to him. He couldn't make these sorts of mistakes in the future…
'When Jade wakes up, I'll take her to the Elvin Holy Land. By now, Ms. Everdeen's spirit should have managed to find her way to her ancestors. Only by spending time with her can Jade leap over this hurdle.'
The last time Dyon went to the Elvin Holy Land, he had taken the Aurora Steps and the Dao of Array Alchemy, not to mention endless piles of celestial stones. But, he hadn't met Ms. Everdeen despite the fact she had already died by then. The only explanation was that it took time for a spirit to find their way, it was also questionable as to whether Ms. Everdeen would choose to enter the Holy Land or enter reincarnation. It was impossible to know unless he checked himself once more.
Dyon knew from stories of what the Mathilde Clan did to the Florence Clan that it was quite a process for a spirit to make it into the Elvin Holy Land. If this wasn't the case, the Mathilde Clan wouldn't have been able to hide their treachery by creating Chaos Universe in order to stop those dead Florence Clan spirits from ever reporting their misdeeds to their ancestors.
Of course, Dyon didn't magically learn these truths from thin air. He found them out through Ri who learned them through the World Tree spirit. It seemed the Mathilde Clan hadn't been able to hide their tracks perfectly.
By now, one might be wondering why one would enter this Holy Land instead of entering reincarnation, wouldn't it be better to reincarnate sooner? And the answer to that is linked to the reason why Ancestors choose to enter a deep sleep and be used as the secret weapons of their clans: Karma.
As there is with everything, there are more efficient and less efficient routes to completing a task. When it came to accumulating karma, this truth remained steadfast.
Monstrous Empires like the Elvin Kingdom were always capable of concocting and more efficient ways of accumulating Karma. When a spirit enters the Holy Land after their death, a special property of the Elvin Holy Land allows them to accumulate not just Karma they earn for themselves, but the Karma of the entire Elvin Kingdom as a whole!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOne can imagine how amazing this sort of system was. With millions, if not billions of individuals accumulating Karma for you, just how many extra benefits would you receive?
The Elvin Kingdom was always able to forge Heaven Defying paths in this way. Unfortunately, defying the Heavens didn't always result in a good ending… It was for exactly this reason that while the Elvin Kingdom shone the brightest, it also dimmed the quickest…

At this moment, in the largest master bedroom of Soul Palace, a pair of husband and wife had lost themselves to the throes of passion.
Ri's delicate features were matted in sweat, her silver-blue eyes gazing toward Dyon with passion as she rode him. Whenever Ri got like this, Dyon could only allow her to do as she pleased. She seemed to find great pleasure in dominating Dyon in this way. It had been a long time since Ri had Dyon to herself, so she took full advantage.
Even now, her ten white tails wildly pulsed across their large bed.
"You're such a pervert." She whispered into Dyon's ear seductively. "What would Clara say if she knew you asked me to bring my tails to fulfill your dark fetishes?"
Her voice made Dyon's bones melt. He held her flawless body close to himself, not allowing her to pull away.
