BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1227 Waste
"The theories I used to build my cultivation path were all found through researching these beast tomes!"
Dyon became swept up in the Demon Sage\'s passion. It seemed that he wasn\'t the only charismatic one.
When Dyon\'s cultivation was sealed, in order to learn the techniques his master gave him, he was forced to use his blood to mimic the flow of energy. To his surprise, this had actually worked! But, he hadn\'t thought of extending this idea further… In fact, he had planned to ignore it entirely.
"So that\'s why mimicking energy flow with blood flow worked? To think I was about to ignore such a profound path…"
Hearing Dyon\'s words, the Demon Sage nearly coughed up blood. He had said it so nonchalantly, yet it was clear he didn\'t understand the ramifications of his words. What the hell did he mean "mimicking energy flow with blood flow", didn\'t he know that this supposedly simple concept to him was something the Demon Sage had labored over for centuries?!
Truth be told, this wasn\'t the Demon Sage\'s fault. Dyon\'s understanding of his own body far surpassed that of others of his cultivation because his Soul was so overwhelmingly powerful. Even the smallest blood vessels and weakest meridian paths were as clear as day to him.
At the moment, Dyon had the equivalent of a dao formation experts perception of his own body while cultivating through the saint and celestial realms. Of course these concepts were far easier to him.
Although Dyon\'s soul had been sealed when he had this energy flow to blood flow breakthrough, it wasn\'t as though his body had changed. His body was still the same as a time before his soul was sealed. With his memory, how would he forget?
The Demon Sage coughed, hiding his insecurities. "These beast tomes details the blood vessel pathways of various beasts. After memorizing your own pathways to perfection and to my liking, you can begin learning the pathways of these beasts."
"How does knowing these pathways translate to runic vein theory?"
Memorizing wasn\'t difficult for Dyon, but he still felt the need to ask.
"Every beast has hidden strengths, bloodline abilities, and affinities. If every living creatures meridians are identical, where do you think these secrets are hidden?
"Understanding these vein patterns will allow you the capital to create some of the greatest treasures you could imagine.
"Think about forming an army with the speed of a Wind Wolf. Or a corps with the strength of an Emperor Giant. Or a squad with high fire will affinity.
"Runic Vein Theory makes all of these things possible."
The Demon Sage\'s introduction fueled a fire within Dyon. Such a thing really was quite useful to him. However, unless he could increase his efficiency to at least a portion of his array alchemy abilities, it wouldn\'t be worth it.
Normal individuals took hours just to form a single set of a half dozen pills. Dyon could produce hundreds of times that in the same span. However, he was nothing but a normal expert when it came to runic vein theory. If he was slow, then he would have no choice but to raise a legion of ruin vein masters instead of relying on himself. He simply didn\'t have the time.
Thinking to this point, Dyon delved into the world of runic vein theory. Although he wondered why the Demon Sage didn\'t begin with teaching him the truths of body cultivation, he assumed that runic vein theory held secrets that made body cultivation simpler.
With his soul strength, even the thickest of the beast tomes became simple for Dyon to master.
He steadily built his repertoire of understanding. Starting from common grade beasts before moving on to earth grade beasts and finally heaven grade beasts.
Dyon was especially interested in the runic vein theory of rodents. He learned a lot about their reproduction veins and vitality veins. It explained to him why rodents reproduced offspring so quickly and why they seemed to always survive disasters.
Currently, Dyon had about ten million rodents within the Demon Sage Tower split into three species. There was the Black Furred Rat, the White Legged Mice and Iron Skinned Hamster. Of them, the Black Furred Rat was most known for its stealth, the White Legged Mice were known for their speed, while the Iron Skinned Hamster were most known for their tenacity.
Each were just high common grade beasts whose kings were mere meridian formation experts, but Dyon saw the potential in them. He filled them with all the beast nurturing pills they could eat and allowed them grow slowly. In fact, about 10% of them had become peak common grade beasts now.
That said, this wasn\'t too impressive. Not only was it significantly easier to upgrade common grade bloodlines, the amount of resources Dyon was pouring into them made this outcome put him at a loss.
Still, he had a vision. Then beast tomes only made that vision clearer.
\'If they could just exhibit even 1% of the Little Yang and Yin\'s abilities, they\'d become invaluable. Just 1%, that\'s all I need…\'
Dyon predicted in as little as half a decade more, the population of mice within his tower would reach a hundred million and continue to grow exponentially. At that point, he could start the next phase.
\'Wind Wolf… Golden Crowned Eagle!... Flood Dragon…\' Dyon became enraptured. He didn\'t even have to open the beast tomes, he simply placed them on his lap and meditated on their will. As the moments passed, layer after layer of information filled his mind.
\'So that\'s the midway point of evolution between a snake and a dragon! Flood Dragons are transcendent grade beasts…\'
The Demon Sage only said that his collection was just a few thousand, but these few thousand encompassed every type of beast there was!
Not bothering to add redundancy to his collection, the Demon Sage carefully weeded out the unimportant and left behind only the best of each. By the time Dyon finished with heaven grade beasts and finally touched upon the transcendent grade, a whole new world had been opened up to him.
For the transcendent grade, the Demon Sage only had eight beast tomes. The Flood Dragon, the Vermillion Bird, the Rainbow Scaled Peng, the Three Eyed Lion, the Goldhorn, the Blue Demon Flame Tiger, the Diamond Skinned Ape, and the Hydra.
However, his supreme grade beast tome collection was even scarcer at just two. To Dyon\'s delight, one was for a clan of Silver Dragon Soul Dragons, the Light Dragon Clan. Still, it was the second that caught his attention over the others: Infernal and Celestial Beast Tome.
"No way…" Dyon\'s breath slightly hitched when he saw this tome. When he thought about all the crazy abilities the celestial beasts had, he couldn\'t help but be eager to read through. If he found the vein responsible for their blood forcing the formation of pills that were otherwise impossible, his array alchemy would reach another level entirely.
Dyon still remembered the moment his master formed that impossible pill. But, even more importantly, he was enamoured by the ability of the pill to replenish his mental energy. Such a pill… It was practically priceless!
However, what could be more priceless than the beast tomes that told of their secrets? Such tomes were absolutely invaluable.
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ \'How did he get these…\' It wasn\'t an exaggeration to say that infernal and celestial beasts were the most ancient beasts alive to this day… They existed even before the Dragon came into being. A tome holding their secrets was something Kingdoms would fall for!
"I took this from the personal treasures of that half-step transcendent beast. I believe he was the grand elder of the Infernal Beast Clans of the Devil Quadrants. You probably shouldn\'t let them find out you have that, they\'ll lose their minds." The Demon Sage chuckled to himself, reminiscing silently.
Dyon almost couldn\'t control himself from rolling his eyes. Of course they\'d kill him for having this, this tome probably holds secrets about how to advance their bloodlines. If First White Mother had this, maybe she wouldn\'t have needed to create Ethereal Permeation.
Although the Demon Sage was being very nonchalant, he was reeling in shock once more. His entire collection… Dyon had gone through it in less than a week! The original plan was for Dyon to waste at least 10 years at this stage!
