Chapter 2036 First Wife

?2036 First Wife

Dyon was surprised to see this. Madeleine had never said such a thing, even as a joke. In fact, it was always Dyon projecting his guilt onto her a lot of the time. As his first wife, he really owed her too much to the point where he felt he was taking advantage of her.

However, for her to say this Dyon had a feeling she really meant it this time.

"You only concocted one pill, but you've calmed far more than I ever helped you to." She said softly.

Hearing these words, Dyon blinked in shock before realizing that Madeleine was right. He felt a lightness in his heart currently he hadn't felt ever since before he learned the truth of their mortal plane's collapse.

Dyon sighed, slipping his arm out from Madeleine grasp and wrapping it around her waist. He really didn't know how to respond.

Did concocting pills mean more than to him than Madeleine? Absolutely not. If he had to choose between never practicing alchemy again and his wife, he wouldn't even need to think about it.

But, he really didn't have a good explanation for himself. He didn't know what it was about alchemy that put him at so much ease.

"You don't need to feel guilty." Madeleine pecked the side of Dyon's lip softly. "It's just the way you are. You're not overbearing or controlling as a husband, but I've known for a long time that the greatest pleasure you feel is in conquering. It's the reason you love to battle and concoct pills so much.

"To battle is to impose your will on your opponent. To concoct pills is to s.n.a.t.c.h blessings from the Heavens themselves and create something where there was nothing before In many ways, it's an even higher form of conquering than battle can provide.

"You can never lay your heart down to properly 'conquer' me because you don't have it in your heart to treat me like an object or a thing to oppress with your will For that, I'm very grateful."

Her sweet smile was accompanied by the roaring of thunder clouds. Nine sets of strikes with nine strikes each descended, threatening to shatter everything in its path. Yet, Dyon only had eyes for the woman in arms His first wife The woman who seemed to understand him better than even he understood himself.

The battle cauldron descended from the skies, revealing the form of two blue pills wafting a frosty fog.

Depending on the level of reinforcement, a different degree of tribulation would descend. In the case of a one time reinforced pill, just a single strike of lightning would fall. For a two times reinforced pill, two sets of two strikes would fall.

Since there were nine sets of nine strikes for a total of 81 this time, this was without a doubt a nine times reinforced pill on the level of a half-immortal grade pill.

In truth, this could be seen as partly in thanks due to Ascelyn's blood. The ice phoenix Overlord first entered the Overlord realm by the easiest means: the qi facet. After this, he continued to choose the body facet hoping to reach the two facet Overlord realm through it. Since he was a beast, after all, this was likely the best choice as the comprehension facet was the most difficult excluding the soul facet.

Thanks to this, his blood was infinitesimally close to the Overlord realm, helping the quality of the pill to improve.

"Is this your Endowment of Multiplicity? How magical." Madeleine said softly.

Dyon nodded. "It only seems to work when I refine half immortal grade pills. It's a shame, if it worked for lower grade pills, some things would be much easier."

"It's probably because lower grade pills aren't capable of communicating with the heavenly dao to the same extent, so it's impossible to evoke an Endowment through them. But maybe if you reach a realm of returning to simplicity Then it'll work with any pill you refine."

Dyon's eyes glowed at these words. Sometimes he forgot his wife was a cultivation genius few could match. But her advice made this clear and obvious to him once more.

"Here." Dyon said with a slightly evil grin, handing his wife one of the pills.

"There's only one reason you look at me like that, you're getting more bad." Madeleine said with a teasing expression.

"I'm innocent." Dyon said righteously. "It's just that in order to refine this pill properly, your body is still a bit too lacking. You'll need to siphon off my vital qi in order to succeed. It just so happens that dual cultivating is the most efficient method."

Madeleine shook her head with a content smile, sinking into Dyon's arms as they vanished from their position in the sky. It seemed the couple had completely forgotten about the chained ice phoenix.

As the husband and wife pair spent a few lovely moments together, the Ancient Battlefield had been sent into yet another uproar.

Last time, it was the centaurs. But, this was something many could still ignore. Though it was shocking for such a powerful clan to be eradicated, they were still ants in the grand scheme of things.

But now, the mighty Phoenix Clan had actually had their tail stepped on! Not only this, but one of their Overlords had gone missing! To make matters worse, this missing overlord actually had a great chance of reaching the second facet! To say he was valuable to the phoenix clans as a whole was an understatement, yet he was gone, just like that.

All the phoenix clan was aware of was the visage of a couple with violet hair and oppressive fire dao. This was all those who survived the ordeal could relay

Unfortunately, there were simply none that fit this description on the Ancient Battlefield. But that was when another piece of information was released that sent a ma.s.sive wave through the prison of failed clans The couple actually gave off the qi signature of Invaders!
