Chapter 2057 Ashes
?The more important reason was that at the instant of enlightenment, one was the most connected to the Heavens they could be. The concocting of Immortal Grade Pills was a process of snatching Heavenly Daos from the Heavens themselves, this was how Endowments came to be.
Refining Ri in this way while she was in a state of enlightenment allowed her body to swallow up heavenly daos even better than a high grade cauldron could. If the immortals of the immortal plane knew such a thing was possible, they would fall over one another in an attempt to be next in line.
Dyon simply didn't realize the gravity of the path he just forged. What he didn't know was that even his former pinnacle self had not managed to create such a thing. Without even knowing… He had surpassed a version of himself he didn't even know existed yet…
These two factors together was what helped facilitate the last… The World Tree lowering its guard…
Its senses were dull… its host was separating more from it and becoming closer to the heavens… in that instant of time, its resistance was as low as it could get. As an alien to this world, how could it dare show too much of itself before the Heavens, lest it be fiercely rejected and suffer backlash?
This was the opportunity Dyon grasped to rip this pest from his wife's body…
It was then that the ashes began to latch on to Ri's soul… From their greyed exteriors, they began to glow so fiercely that they became less like ashes and more like motes of light.
Dyon released a breath he hadn't even known he was holding. Though he would never play with the life of his wife without 100% certainty, seeing his goal come to fruition was better than simply calculating it to be so.
The ashes of Ri's body and soul shot up into the skies. The golden drew rained downward, gracing her incorporeal form as though welcoming a goddess.
The refinement process had truly been far too complex. Dyon took the entirety of 6 years just to write this one pill formula. Maybe for others, this was a short time. But to Dyon, pills within the mortal barrier were as easy as breathing to concoct. There was almost no pill he could create.
However, since Dyon took up the task, he would forge the most perfect body for his wife imaginable.
9000 parts celestial fox didn't need to be explained. This had to be Ri's foundation. As a kitsune, this was her lineage. The strong control of the elements celestial foxes had would be the core of her building her strength again.
500 parts celestial kun peng was where Dyon's true genius began to shine through. He wasn't using kun peng blood to give Ri fish-like features, but rather using it to modify celestial fox blood and make it stronger.
The legends of kitsune and their devilish deeds and illusions weren't completely false. However, it was kun peng who were both exceptionally strong in illusions and water will. Using these facets of their ability to bolster the celestial fox bloodline all while strengthening Ri's elemental affinities was akin to killing two birds with a single stone.
300 parts celestial deer was precisely chosen for the sake of Ri's soul. Dyon couldn't allow Ri to become a full beast because that would impact her soul too much. But, he didn't have human blood that was compatible with Ri either. The only solution was to use a beast that was an exception to the rule and had incredibly strong soul prowess.
In this regard, there were only two Dyon knew of: The celestial deer, and the dream panther. Since Ri's foundation was built by a celestial beast, the choice was obvious.
100 parts celestial lion was purely for the sake of Ri's bodily strength. Celestial lions were known for both their sovereign path and their overwhelming body cultivation, especially their sturdy bones.
Kitsune were a supreme grade beast, but they ultimately became weak because their bodies were too weak. Unlike beasts who grew larger with their cultivation, kitsune were basically the side of a few palms from the start of their life to the end.
Celestial foxes were obviously much better in this regard, but they were only average among beasts. Their true strength was in their elemental will control.
Since Dyon wanted to make up for Ri's loss of a God Grade Constitution, he would most definitely go all out for her. This blood would increase her bone and muscle fiber density by several times over, as well as helping her regain the sovereign path she would lose in giving up Elvin Queen's Reign.
80 parts celestial peacock… Unlike in the mortal world where only the male peacock was known for its beauty, celestial peacocks were ruled by its females.
Their feathers were known to hold The Eye of the Heavens… gorgeous patterns of swirling colors would form an eye on their proud feathers. These feathers would be able to gather atmospheric qi for their own personal use as well as cast ocular techniques.
Dyon didn't have the ability to pass these ocular techniques to Ri. In the end, he wasn't a god without limits. He could only pass all the abilities of the celestial fox to Ri, taking too from the other bloodlines would adversely affect her foundation and cause the refinement to fail.
However, what he could do what fuse this ability to wield atmospheric qi with the celestial fox's ability to control the elements. When put together… The effects would be devastating!
Finally, there was the 20-parts celestial hamster… Dyon entirely homed in on their spatial will… He wanted to use to fuel and catalyze Ri's void kitsune abilities.
While he wanted Ri to become a Celestial Fox, they were ultimately masters of none. Celestial foxes were incredibly adept with the elements, but they could only be considered to be a few notches above 'good' in each category. They would never be considered unmatched in any one of them.
