After stealthily infiltrating the Dark Ocean once more, Dyon poured an ungodly number of timeless and spaceless stones in the treasure. Like this, the 999-day timer began.

This visit, however, wasn't about the Jafari Clan treasure. Those matters had been dealt with even before Dyon visited the twins. Instead, this visit was about Zabia's breakthrough into the dao realm.

For weaker Clans and Sect, the event of such a breakthrough was something their whole lives revolved around for several years, if not decades. For those sorts of powers, the addition of a new dao expert was far too important to ignore.

In line with this, they would pour all their resources and life saving treasures into this one person. As things stood now, this was the very same situation Dyon was in. Six new dao experts was a drop in the bucket to those massive powers, but to him, losing even one would cause him endless heartache.

Although he had the celestial beasts, he could only make use of them in secret. It was too risky to bring them out until Granny Celest became a Higher Existence. In fact, this was so important that Dyon gave the Energy Core to his Granny Celest.

One had to know that the Energy Core greatly improved cultivation speed. One could imagine the kind of impact a treasure of the 33 heavens had on such a thing. It would increase Granny Celest's speed by ten to twenty times, shaving the time she needed down by several thousand years.

Before, Granny Celest believed she would have been another ten thousand years at the least to reach the 12th dao realm. But, with Dyon's selfless act, she would accomplish this within 500 to 1000 years. This time could be cut down even more as long as Dyon provided high quality Enigmatic Gathering Pills.

As for becoming a Higher Existence, the Energy Core wouldn't be able to help this matter much. This breakthrough relied heavily on comprehension, especially for celestial beasts who didn't face tribulations.

Dyon knew that if he relied on the Energy Core, it would only take him 5-10 years to break into the dao realm. But, he didn't want to fall into the vicious cycle of seeking power once more.

This aside, Zabia and the Ipsum disciples felt they were prepared to enter the dao realm. The best part was that even the weakest of them would enter as a third grade dao expert, while Zabia would enter as a first grade dao expert.

One had to know that it was impossible to become a Higher Existence unless one broke through as a First Order expert at a minimum. Second Grade cultivators would never get the chance.

Although there was technically no hard barrier against this occurring, no second grade dao expert had ever survived the tribulation. As for special cases like the celestial beasts, none of their second grade cultivators ever accumulated enough comprehension to breakthrough either.

Essentially, fostering Zabia was akin to helping a potential future Higher Existence. So, Dyon couldn't be stingy at all with the help he provided.

Zabia's hearty laughter filled Jafari Palace. Although this palace was far smaller than Soul Palace, it still spanned a 50 meter diameter, reigning with an imposing might. Since Zabia would soon be a dao expert, as long as he survived, there was obviously no problem with him building such a structure. The powerful would always be treated better.

"You didn't have to come personally, brother. I know you're busy."

Dyon smiled, withstanding Zabia's heavy shoulder pats. "How could I not come personally? This is a matter of your life and death. Plus, I've been trying to go easy recently."

"That's good. Spend time with your wives, give them a few babies to care of."

"I take it that means I'll have another god child soon? You work fast."

Zabia grinned widely. He knew how difficult it was to have children after entering the dao realm, so he insisted on having one more.

All this time, he too had been taking it easy, spending time with his family. It was just unfortunate that Sarid was currently taking his tower trials so he couldn't be with his father in these moments.

Ulu who was sitting not far away smiling sweetly. It seemed she was sporting another baby bump.

Dyon knew that Ulu was a great talent in her own right, but taking care of a child had slowed her cultivation. It seemed her cultivation would be slowed once more, but she didn't mind. In the Jafari Clan, it was a great honor to birth the children of your husband. In truth, Ulu felt that two was too little.

"You don't have to worry." Dyon nodded seriously. "With my backing you, even if the Heavens want to kill you, they won't be able to."

In the next moment, Dyon took out many things.

"This is an Essence Reversal Pill. They have the ability to revert someone back to their peak state the moment they eat it and it can also give you an additional 1000 years of life, not that that'll matter once you breakthrough."

Dyon only had one planet grade healing pill of this level. He had received it from the golden flame mystical world, but he didn't hesitate to give it to Zabia. He had also received 10 Yin and Yang Replenishment pills, but he gave two each to the Ipsum disciples.

"Although it is precious, do not hesitate to take it if your life is in danger. I can always concoct another pill, but I can't concoct a new friend."

After Dyon said this, he proceeded to take out several dozen Heaven Soothing Pills that added 10 years of life, not to mention numerous defensive treasures before he finally handed Anak's glaive to Zabia. Even with his three-meter tall stature, the five-meter-long glaive dwarfed Zabia, but it still fit him far more than it did Dyon.

However, Zabia had long since stopped caring about all the precious things Dyon was handing him. He felt an endless warmth in his heart. Maybe it was true that Zabia growing more powerful helped Dyon too, but no one would go this far if they were only seeking benefits
