Chapter 1557 Rock Bottom
Primus' outcry seemed to remind people of how friendly Abraxus was to Lady Sacharro just a few weeks ago. Could it be the Sacharros were really undefeatable in the tower? If the administrator could do as he pleased and work on his biases freely, how could they ever think of revenge?
Abraxus sighed. People normally ignored him, yet he was called out twice now in less than half a year. His peaceful nature didn't like this one bit.
"The limitations on floors have always been age, not cultivation. Just because you call it the celestial floors, doesn't mean it's only meant for celestials.
"And, even if you were correct in believing that the celestial floors were only for celestials, Empress Sacharro is still a Higher Celestial, she just has abilities that surpass your understanding."
That was right. The age limit of the saint floor was 1000 years old. The age limit of the celestial floor was 5000 years old. Even rogue cultivators would be kicked out when that day came.
If this wasn't the case, how could celestial take their celestial door trial? They wouldn't even be allowed onto the saint floor!
Let alone 5000 years old, Madeleine wasn't even 100 years old. Even if she displayed this power on the saint floors, there would be no issue.
Abraxus would normally be too lazy to explain this at all, but the fact he did actually revealed his bias toward the Sacharro family. He didn't want Dyon and Madeleine to be troubled by underhanded schemes when he really was bound from favoring them. If others worked under the assumption they had inherent advantages when they actually didn't, it would be a problem.
Dyon's manipulation of the fog was a compensation the tower gave him for one of their trial administrators going rogue and bending the rules to abuse him. This was the only reason Dyon was ranked 11th in his 4th trial and not 1st like in all the others.
After fulfilling his task in making up for that error, Abraxus could no longer bend the rules for Dyon. He was bound to work within the rules of the tower just like the Dragon King was bound by the laws of weapon spirits.
Abraxus' words caught Primus completely off guard. He was right.
Abraxus snorted, though he had already cut off the connection so no one heard it. Who asked the kid to go and piss off a woman? Didn't he warn them about this very thing just a few weeks ago? Kids have terrible memories nowadays.
'Though, it is quite impressive that she's reached such a level with Goddess' Disposition already. Has her reincarnation will sped up her progress?...'
Abraxus was most definitely correct. Madeleine's current constitution realm was the equivalent of Dyon reaching the Silver Silk Stage in his constitution. For reference, Dyon was currently in the Bronze Silk Stage and had to reach 1 000 000 000 jin in order to master it. But, Dyon's max weight was only 201 000 000 jin right now. He had a long way to go, not to mention many levels beyond that.
Madeleine was able to use her reincarnation will as a direct short cut, giving her the ability to freely grasp many of her abilities and even output power capable to a lower dao expert for several minutes.
All this time, she had been waiting for reincarnation characteristic to her. But, the main reason her reincarnation will was powerful enough to accomplish this feat was because of her dual cultivation with Dyon!
Madeleine ripped Primus' glasses from his face, tossing it upward and into the flames of violet that formed the bird to her back and destroying it in earnest.
"A key wielder with neither protective treasures nor a Life Saving Jade?" Madeleine's voice was neutral, but to Primus, it seemed like taunt. All his life, he had been inferior to his little sister, and though he loved her, it didn't sit perfectly with him. Hearing these words come from someone else stabbed him to his core.
Madeleine's palm slammed against Primus' forehead, both knocking him out cold and sending endless sealing energies into his body before she toss him to Zaire who caught him with his mouth. Even without knowledge of sealing, all energies bowed to Madeleine in this form!
In the next instant, she waved her hand once more. The towering building that had once stood tall at the core of Middle Sapientia City was crushed into a rain of fine dust.
Everyone within it was shocked beyond belief quickly activating their energies to slow their falls, but those on the outside were even more shocked, because below, endless rows of dark, barred cells were revealed. What level of qi control did such a feat need?...
'Big sister, he should be in there.' Lyla pointed Madeleine toward a larger, solitary confinement cell in the far corner.
Madeleine closed her grip. She frowned when she realized that she could hardly budge the cage even in this state. The more power she applied, the more shocked she grew. In the end, even her full strength wasn't enough. They were forced to rummage through Primus' things to find a key before the cage could finally be opened.
It was safe to say that this was a day when the image of the Sapientia hit rock bottom.

Virvor was in terrible shape. It seemed that something had pissed off Primus enough within the last few days that resulted in his torture spiking upward.
He couldn't even feel or see his hands or feet enough to understand just how many fingers and toes he had lost. When it came to his skin, it was a bloody, sticky mess of thick crimson liquid that flaked uncomfortably when it dried.
Maybe the worst part wasn't even the physical torture. In fact, he almost looked forward to that time of day…
The cage he was held in let not a single wisp of sound in, nor did it allow any light in. He couldn't see even an inch in front of himself, and all he could hear was the slow beating of his heart.
That steady beating almost taunted him, as though it was asking him why he was still alive.
