1073 Demon Sage Tower 2 (2/2)

Dyon scratched the back of his head embarrassedly before changing the subject. 'What should I do about Soul Rending Peak then? I definitely want to save those I can from Soul Market, but how do I make the sect pay without endangering the Celestial Beast Clans?'

Dyon heard a sigh from his mind. 'If the fall of Soul Rending Peak is as you've described, there's no one there who can threaten our two remaining celestial clans. Even though we've been hiding, the clans wouldn't be headed by anyone below the 9th dao formation realm. Also, the Mystical Realm is impenetrable by anyone not of the Soul Rending Peak… Even a half-step transcendent would have to leave in shame.

'The problem is that you've just told me that Devil Path cultivators were accepted as core disciples….'

Dyon's brow furrowed. 'It doesn't seem like the celestial beasts are common knowledge among the disciples that have passed the trials, though.'

The 25th Mother shook her head. 'The Mystical Realm is separating into 18 tiers, each more difficult to reach than the last. Technically, you only have to pass the first tier to earn a spot as a core disciple, but our two clans are located on the 18th tier as a sort of final reward.'

'Reward?'

'Yes. Remember I said our species are highly coveted. One of the reasons why is because our celestial blood allows cultivators to remove impurities from their cultivation and undergo the legendary waste expulsion.

'This reward is reserved for the best of disciples. But, if it's as you've described it, these disciples don't seem worthy enough to pass even the first tier, let alone make it the 18th. This is likely why they've been forgotten. This is a good thing. However…'

'The Devil Path cultivators are easily the most talented disciples to enter in thousands of years…'

'Exactly. We can't let them reach that level, no matter what.'

Dyon nodded seriously. It seemed he couldn't cause havoc the moment he returned to Soul Rending Peak, or else he would have let his master down.

By now, Dyon had reached the first locked floor of the tower. When he entered, he immediately noticed an addition seal on his wills and soul cultivation. But, this made him smile. He already had them sealed, so this didn't make these trials harder on him, this, in fact, made it easier.
