Chapter 862 - Healing Water's Quality

'However, I must remind Master that a Demon Overlord is not the same as a Celestial Conqueror; there can be as many Celestial Conquerors as the Starfields in existence, but only one can be the Demon Overlord.'

'Doesn't that mean demons are at a severe disadvantage?'

'Not at all, Master. After all, one demon becoming the Demon Overlord doesn't mean other demons can't come close to it in strength or have no chance of surpassing it. We call those demons Demon Overlord Candidates.'

'And those demons along with the Celestial Conquerors are all considered Half-step True Divinities, existences that have surpassed the Celestial level but not quite at the True Divinity level.'

"I see" Leon uttered while staring at Duna's cultivation chamber.

"Well, that's that," he said after a brief moment before turning to Saresha, "You can call your clan members back. I'll set up a new medicine bath for the Dark Fae Clan."

"Yes, my Lord!" Saresha's eyes lit up with anticipation.

After reaching Rank 1 Body Transformation and gaining 1-million jin physical strength that only Greater Demons possess, Saresha knew just how impressive the Godfiend Body Forging Method was.

She would have made greater progress if the medicine bath's healing effect weren't depleted in the first two days of the Lord's three-week secluded cultivation.

Leon watched Saresha disappear over the rock wall before he took out the Tier-7 Golden Grail with great anticipation.

'Since three weeks have passed, the quality of the healing water shouldn't be too bad, right?' he mused with a hopeful look.

After he checked the water quality inside the Tier-7 Golden Grail, his eyes immediately sparkled.

"Tier-5 healing water!" Leon exclaimed pleasantly.

Although he expected it, seeing the actual result hit differently.

"As I expected, the Tier-7 Golden Grail does improve the healing water's quality with time. This isn't just tier-5 healing water; it's almost tier-6!" Leon concluded after inspecting the healing water.

The gap between tier-5 and tier-6 was not small; it was the difference between the spiritual and the divine.

As such, tier-6 healing water should be called tier-6 divine healing water instead.

'Given another week or so, I dare say this Tier-7 Golden Grail could have produced tier-6 divine healing water. However, I wonder if tier-6 divine healing water is its limit?' Leon wondered.

Nevertheless, he decided not to use the tier-5 healing water inside the Tier-7 Golden Grail for the dark faes' medicine bath.

Once the tier-5 healing water becomes tier-6 divine healing water, it wouldn't just be capable of recovering wounds; it can also cure all sorts of common diseases.

That's what makes it divine.

Mortals in the lower kingdoms would often regard tier-6 divine healing water as the miracle elixir back in the Divine Realm.

"Hmm what to do" Leon pondered.

He didn't intend to use the tier-5 spirit herbs he obtained from the bottom of the Bone Sea; it would be too extravagant of a waste to use them on the dark faes' body cultivation.

However, it would be even more of a waste to use something that is about to become tier-6 divine healing water.

'Guess I'll use the tier-3 spirit herbs growing in the Sacred Garden' Leon decided.

However, after he checked on the spirit herbs inside the Worldspace, he quickly realized most of the tier-3 spirit herbs had also upgraded to tier-4 spirit herbs.

"Well, I guess this works out," Leon thought.

Tier-3 healing medicine would not be as effective on the dark faes as before now that they have reached the level of Greater Demons.

While Leon was setting up the medicine bath, news of him finishing his secluded cultivation spread among the Dark Fae Clan and Dark Wyrm Clan.

It didn't take long before the news also reached Aria and Darlene's ears, and several minutes later, they came rushing back with excitement to see him.

Swish!

The two ladies dived straight into his arms.

They had returned even before Saresha could bring the news to them. Evidently, they must have instructed the realm spirit to inform them beforehand.

Nevertheless, after enjoying each others' warmth in silence for a moment, they finally parted.

"You've finally out," Aria uttered in a soft tone, filled with relief and complaint.

"I guess I did spend a lot more time in my secluded cultivation than I initially intended," Leon smiled wryly before saying, "But I'm back now."

Even so, he felt a bit of guilt when he looked at Aria.

There wasn't any suitable environment in the Radiant Heaven Realmship for Aria to cultivate her Ice-Lightning law.

As such, her awakening cultivation stagnated for three weeks.

Nevertheless, Aria sensed his thoughts before she said with a smile, "You don't need to feel guilty about anything."

"It is true that my awakening cultivation hasn't improved much in these past three weeks, but my sword cultivation made up for it. Also, I used up all the True Grandmist Energy you provided."

"Can you guess how much progress I made?" Aria quizzed him shortly after.

However, Leon quickly furrowed his brows when he tried to gauge Aria's accomplishment in body cultivation.

Even if Aria's energy to strength conversion rate was similar to Darlene's, she should have reached Mid Rank 1 Body Transformation at the very least with the 5000 wisps of True Grandmist Energy given to her.

However, it didn't seem like she could exert more than 1.5-million jin worth of strength.

"You reached the Early Rank 1 Body Transformation in the flesh refining and bone forging phase? No, the blood refining phase as well? No, that's not right either You also consolidated your viscera"

Leon muttered with doubt while studying the state of her body.

"To be precise, I achieved Rank 1 Body Transformation in all five phases," Aria replied with a smile before inserting her opinion, "I figured a balanced physique would do me better than an unbalanced one."

"I see" Leon uttered.

He immediately felt relieved after finding out where Aria distributed all the True Grandmist Energy in her body.

Her body's energy-to-strength conversation rate was, more or less, the same as Darlene's.

It wasn't as bad as he thought.
