Chapter 1456 Entering
First he established the second branch of the Sacharro Pill Pavilion. This was a shop identical to what could be found on the saint floors. Considering the popularity it had already garnered there, this filled much of the void that was missing.
Second, he contacted Madeleine. This wife of his had stepped onto the celestial floors long ago. In fact, she had already entered the middle tier just recently. With her help, the Flaming Lily Sect had gained a sizeable reward since she was now the golden flame quadrant's key wielder.
As a female only Sect, the Flaming Lily Sect controlled many entertainment businesses of their own, namely, the famous Violet's Bloom Pavilion! This was a place where a collection of talented women sold their companionship. Whether it be a game of Go, or simply some lovely playing of the lyre, cultured men and women loved to take part in their entertainment.
[Author's Note: Violet's Bloom Pavilion was mentioned very briefly a few hundred chapters ago. Don't ask me when, I don't remember, lmao. I just know that it was in my notes <3]
Obviously, the celestial tiers only had one Violet's Bloom Pavilion per tier. This led to those who wanted to partake having no choice but to go to Flaming Lily Sect Strongholds to enjoy this high-class entertainment.
However, as the husband of their key wielder, Dyon had special privileges others didn't. Therefore, for the first time ever, Violet's Bloom Pavilion would be coming to a city not owned by the Flaming Lily Sect. And, rumors had it, that the Leading Mistress would be the famous Legatee, Empress Yandevere!
Just like that, those who had been wondering if it was even worth staying in Low Sacharro City did a complete 180. No matter what, they had to be there for opening day!
As for who would be designing the Pavilion? Who better than Meiying?!
...
Entering the celestial floors wasn't as easy as entering the saint floors. One doesn't even have to complete their trials first to enter the saint floors, however, the same couldn't be said about the celestial tiers. However, Dyon had once entered the saint floors with Amphorae in his inner world, so why couldn't he do the same now for Meiying?
Although she couldn't step out, Dyon could be her eyes and ears, allowing her to properly gain a feel for her surroundings. After she understood the lands properly, she could draw up city plans that would take advantage of the area's feng shui. Obviously, she didn't need to be there personally as her designs were built.
Dyon spent a few days taking Meiying around. It was quite amusing to listen to her moan about how trashy the former low enigmatic city was. Considering how beautiful the city was, anyone who heard her would think she was insane… Until they saw her work on the saint floors, that is.
Once Meiying finished using Dyon's help to scout the area, she got to work on her designs. It would likely take her a few weeks to finish, not to mention a ridiculous amount of resources to finish it all, so Dyon could only go off and do other things.
'What should I do now?' Dyon thought to himself as he meditated in silence.
Currently, his master and the 11 titled spirits were building their bodies.
There were two things slowing the process. The first was that their soul strengths weren't remotely on Dyon's level. So, it took them much longer to influence their vessels into the proper form.
The second issue was that their souls were not complete. As such, much like Dyon had, they needed time to heal before they could even solve the first problem.
To deal with the second issue, Dyon left the Soul Tome with them since only it could heal a partial soul into a full soul. As for the first issue, it could only be solved with time.
Since they were dao experts in their lives, it would take even longer than if they were mere mortals because not only their souls were stronger than usual, and thus took more effort to heal, but their bodies would take longer to construct for the same reason.
Plus, there was only 1 soul tome but 12 of them. 13 if the Demon Sage was included as well.
In truth, the Demon Sage was in an even worse situation because he had been a 12th stage dao expert before his death. He would take exponentially longer than the others.
This was all to say that Dyon didn't have any guidance right now. Without his master, he was flying blind just like he had in the past.
'My first priority should be to improve my planet qi and planet grade array alchemy comprehension. Without it, I won't be able to implement my and Eli's plan.
'My second priority is the proper training of the Demon Generals, they're talented enough to improve without my direct interference, but that doesn't mean they won't do good with guidance. In this vein, the beast babies are in a better situation since they have their clan elders.'
Dyon frowned deeply, the issue of the Demon Generals' training was a problem, but it was just a symptom of a much deeper disease. Dyon was lacking in top-level experts!
'Ava!' Dyon's divine sense stretched out, sending a message to Ava.
'Hm?' Ava, who had been training in one of the training centers of Low Sacharro City – one of the smaller businesses Dyon managed to keep a hold of – looked around in confusion before realizing Dyon was speaking into her mind. 'Oh, do you need me?'
'You don't need to move, I just had a question. What are the 9 gold Danger Zones? I still need to claim one of them, but I don't want to do so blindly.'
'Oh!' Ava nodded. She had wanted to enter the gold danger zones for a long time, but the Demon Generals were heavily discriminated against by the top-level geniuses due to Dyon. So, even if they were willing to pay the fee, they weren't allowed in.
'The 9 gold danger zones the same on every tier I believe. There's the elemental gold zone, the weapons gold zone, the demon gold zone, the presence gold zone, the mirror gold zone, the spirit gold zone, the gravity gold zone, the tribulation gold zone, and the mind gold zone.
'The elemental and weapons gold zones focus on wills. The presence, gravity and mind gold zones focus on Presence, improving the quality and control of qi, and tempering will power and mental stamina respectively.
'The demon and mirror gold zones focus on combat prowess. In the demon gold zone, you fight powerful Demons and Devils Lords of the past. In the mirror gold zone, you fight yourself. It's similar to the fourth trial we all faced. However, this time, the mirror image continuously improves as you improve instead of staying static. How well you perform depends on your continuous improvement, so therefore you're timed for how long you can last.
'The spirit gold zone is one of the very few soul path danger zones. Soul cultivation is faster, but it can also work to improve your control, etc. It has many aspects.
'Finally, there's the tribulation zone. As you might have guessed, you can face the many famous tribulations to have appeared in the past. There were even two color lightning cloud tribulations. On the Peak Tier, there are five color tribulation clouds!'
