Amphorae watched Lyla, Zaire and Damaris leave, a complicated expression flickering with the deep greens of her eyes.
There was a war going on inside her. It simply wasn't in her personality to sit back and stay safe. She'd much rather lead the vanguard even if it put her life at risk. She was an angel, the Demon Sage's daughter… how could she feel comfortable just sitting here?
However, when she thought back to Dyon's almost pleading expression, she felt her heart tremble. She couldn't bring herself to deny him.
Amphorae sighed. 'Is this what it means to be in love? It's made me quite weak.' She thought to herself somewhat bitterly.
"Little Rae, you're here?" A somewhat elated voice filled Amphorae's ears, but considering how deep and ancient it sounded, the excitement seemed out of place.

"Bah." The Demon Sage snorted. "That boy has some good treasures, but even they have their limits. It would be more efficient for the soul tome to work on one individual at a time. Since Esmeralda is his master, I've allowed her to go first. It'll be my turn eventually."
Amphorae shook her head. She knew well that her father was simply escaping the reality of being helped by a young boy he still carried some animosity toward. In fact, it would be more ferocious had his little girl not chosen him as her husband.
The Soul Tome was an almost unmatched treasure. It became even more so after Dyon's soul reached the dao realm. There was no issue with it healing multiple souls at once. And, it was especially efficient at doing so with the aid of the celestial beast's life stone.
Seeing Amphorae didn't say anything, the Demon Sage blushed slightly in embarrassment, before coughing to change the subject.
"What's the matter? Did he bully my little girl? Just wait until I get my body, I'll beat that little brat into the ground!"
Amphorae smiled lightly. "No, he didn't bully me at all. If anything, it's the exact opposite. He's treating me too well."
Dyon made the decision long ago to trust his wives to fight by his side. But he deviated from that today. It was hard to blame him for it considering the circumstances, but it was just as difficult for Amphorae to go against her nature. If she was forced to change in order to be with the man she loved, would that sort of relationship be healthy?
After listening to the story of what happened, the Demon Sage fell into a deep silence. What could he say? He completely agreed with Dyon. He didn't want his daughter to charge into danger either.
"What…" The Demon Sage froze. "Did you just say he found martial saint pills? Quick, tell me, how many?"
Amphorae's beautiful emerald eyes blinked in confusion at her father's reaction. Sure, martial saint pills were heaven defying treasures. But, someone like the Demon Sage who had seen so many things shouldn't be shocked by them. After all, he was a step away from becoming a Higher Existence before he lost life. He was also known as the greatest body cultivation expert to ever live… This sort of reaction wasn't suited for his stature.
"Lord Husband said he found them in a mystical world, it gave him 1000. He's used 14 of them up to now. Ten on the Vice Commanders, one on himself, and three on Alexandria, Madeleine and Clara. 15 if you include the one he set aside for me, and 17 if you include the two Junior and Aiden are too young to take."
"1000?!" The Demon Sage's heart quickened.
"Father… This isn't like you."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Forgive me. It's just that there are a few things you don't know.
"My Martial Saint constitution was originally an Ancient constitution that continued to be passed down in a far weaker form. The man known as the First Martial Saint supposedly had the ability to form 117 meridians and open his own Dantian without transcending. Though it seems like the difference between me and him is only the fact my dantian will be locked until the moment I transcend, the reality is that he's like the boundless skies while I'm nothing but clouded water.
"Much like others with ancient constitutions, the First Martial Saint inevitably died before he could transcend. But, he was unwilling to leave his legacy like this so as he was about to fail his tribulation, he gathered the strength of his dantian to form what we know as Martial Saint pills today.
"No one knows exactly how many he created that day, but it was at least several million.
"Back then, powerful Clans warred over these pills and they were monopolized by those with the largest fists. They then stored these pills away and would only take out 1, at most 2, per generation. This would help their Clan's greatest geniuses to prosper and extend the lifetime of their Clans and build Faith.
"For the Legacy of this mystical world to have 1000 of these pills alone, they were definitely a massively influential Clan from back then."
"I understand… But why is this so important?" Amphorae frowned.
"You don't get it even to now? To normal individuals, this is just an opportunity to gain part of the abilities of a Martial Saint. But, to me, it's a chance to be the first individual to cause the same Ancient Constitution to appear twice!"
Amphorae's calm eyes flashed with surprise. It was no wonder her father was so excited.
"But… You can't be the first to have thought of this, right father?" Amphorae asked carefully. "After all, it's not unlikely for those powerful Clans to give birth to Martial Saints of their own, right? Their Faith is definitely high enough to birth many God Constitution talents."
The Demon Sage sighed. "You're right. The process of opening new meridians is painful enough, so you can imagine how painful it is to open your dantian prematurely. All who've tried have died."
