Reaper of the Martial World

Book 8: Chapter 227: Odd Little Baby (2)

Like Dyon thought, he wasn’t powerful enough to create a space completely separate from the Heavens. What did that mean? That meant his Inner World was technically just another universe on the Mortal Plane. As a result, a Planet Grade formation was enough to send Eli back.

Because Eli was within a separate space, the spatial lock the Heaven’s Children placed around Dyon’s cage had no impact whatsoever and thus Eli faced no interference.

Unfortunately, Dyon could only send a projection into his inner world and couldn’t enter personally, so he himself couldn’t leave. Dyon believed that this was likely because his body acted as an anchor that stabilized his inner world. His body was the very connection to the Heavens that allowed this to be possible. Until he was strong enough to stabilize his world on his own, this would continue to be true.

Still, seeing his friend off was more than enough for him.

Of course, Eli could only stay for a few days before coming back because Dyon had yet to find a perfect plan that ensured he wouldn’t be kidnapped once more. But, he could easily go back and forth as he pleased. With Dyon acting as a shield for him, the Heaven’s Children wouldn’t realize he had changed locations unless he stayed for too long.

This wasn’t all either. With Eli going back, he could reassure Dyon’s wives that he was doing just fine.

After sending Eli off, Dyon’s eyes once more turned cold. He needed a plan to escape… But first, he had to heal his body. Luckily, after reaching 10 billion jin, Dyon had been able to fully enter and exit his constitution’s world. It seemed like a reward he received whenever he perfected a realm.

Unfortunately, he skipped over the 1 billion jin mark so reaching the next milestone would be several times more difficult. But, this much was fine. As long as Dyon didn’t rush his breakthrough, he could continue to take advantage of this.

The saint grade holy type qi Dyon excavated from the alpha wyvern’s cave poured into his body. A comfortable feeling assaulted him, but Dyon could feel that it wasn’t helping as much as he hoped.

After reaching 1 billion jin, Dyon’s body cultivation had already reached the peak celestial realm. After pushing past and entering the 10 billion jin threshold, Dyon was on the verge of forming a dao body and was at the very peak of what was possible for a pseudo-dao expert. Once he broke into the Gold Silk Realm, he would do exactly that.

Unfortunately, this also meant that what was needed to heal his body had also taken a massive leap forward.

Of course, this didn’t mean saint grade holy type qi had become useless. Dyon could still feel his body rapidly healing. It was just clearly not effective as it had been in the past.

Still, Dyon didn’t want to jump to conclusions. Was it really his body’s improvement that was causing this? Or was it the nature of his injury?

Dyon felt that his injuries this time were very different. He couldn’t even remember bleeding. In fact, he couldn’t point out a body part that necessarily ‘hurt’. It was as though his very being was aching. He vaguely felt that if it wasn’t for his nascent soul, he really would have pushed it too far this time.

‘Hm?’

Dyon opened his eyes from his meditation. He must have been focusing on healing himself for at least a few hours when he heard an odd sound. Gurgling? Maybe?

Dyon’s divine sense couldn’t leave the walls of the cage no matter how hard he tried, so when his eyes were closed, he was basically blind. But when he opened his eyes to confirm the same things his ears had already sensed, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

‘A baby?’

Right there, just outside his golden cage, an adorable baby sat, rolling around in the grass and dirtying her pink bear print pajamas.

Dyon could only describe it as the most adorable baby he had ever seen. Even if others thought he was an arrogant, narcissistic prick, he felt that his own baby form, Junior, lost by far to this baby.

Her hair was still short and curled on the top of her hair as though she could be more than a few weeks old at most. It was color red-silvery color that made it look extremely similar to bronze-rose. If reflected the right way, it could look pink, brown and red all at the same time.

Her chubby cheeks smiled happily as she giggled, her large eyes twinkling. They were a mesmerizing intelligent color, shining with a hazel-green color.

The baby’s soft skin had a slight tan to it, but as expected of a recently born child, it was completely blemishless.

This child was truly baffling. Before Dyon realized it, he had already stared at the little girl for several minutes. In fact, the little girl had stared back, not nervous in the slightest.

The little girl sounded as though she was trying to say hello. But, this only baffled Dyon more. He was sure that this little baby couldn’t have been more than a few weeks, old, how did she know words? Even he took a few months before he could speak.

Still, Dyon couldn’t help but smile.

“Hello. What’s your name?” historical

Dyon was baffled once more. The little girl didn’t have a name.
