Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God
chapter-2146

"That was too dangerous. You shouldn't do things like that anymore."

Saru looked toward Dyon with a slight frown, her demeanor carrying a seriousness to it.

"You mean calling out a Peak Immortal Essence expert for being a whore was dangerous?" Dyon teased, pretending to be shocked by this realization.

"Dyon."

Seeing the petite Saru place her hands on her hips, Dyon couldn't help but think that she looked like a cute little wife.

At the moment, they had taken up a room in the alchemy guild. It was supposed to be a refinery, a place that was essentially custom built to maximize the efficiency and quality of pill concoctions, but it doubled as a personal residence as well.

Though the guild looked quite small from the outside, its interior was oddly large. This wasn't because it had spatial technology built in, but rather because it was simply well designed. On top of the fact there were very few Venerables worthy of having a place here as well.

Spatial technology on the immortal plane was simply too rare. The reason Saru and Lilith had to leave so many of their things behind was because their spatial rings from the mortal plane couldn't survive here. Anything they had within them would be destroyed along with the space within the ring.

Manipulating space on the immortal plane was simply far too difficult. As a result, spatial rings were several levels more rare and expensive here. So, the two women could only take what they could hold in their hands. And, due to the danger of teleporting into Dyon's collapsing inner world, the fewer things they took, the better.

Even now, Saru wore her gloves on her hands and Lilith carried her red-bladed sword on her back.

As for Dyon, he obviously didn't have this problem. Not only did he have his inner world, but he also gained the ability to store treasures within his Mind's Eye. Though, those were only treasures with souls bounded to his own like Little Chibi and Reaper.

Dyon scratched his head awkwardly toward Saru's stern attitude. He almost forgot that she was a princess who had to take on quite a bit of responsibility since the time she was young. Unlike Ri who was forced to leave those responsibilities behind, Saru was forced to take them on as her burden.

"Don't worry so much." Dyon smiled lightly. "I won't do anything too overboard."

"But..." Saru didn't know how to continue.

"Don't you think something fishy is going on here? How could she possibly be a Higher Venerable? They even say that she's close to the Peak Venerable Realm, but that's most definitely nonsense."

Lilith, who was listening over to the side, raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"Think about it this way. Here, there are only three alchemy realms. The Venerable Realm. The Empyrean Realm. The God Realm.

"However, there are five cultivation realms. The Immortal Essence, Immortal Saint, Immortal Celestial, Immortal Law, and Immortal God.

"My comprehension of what realms you have to enter to reach a certain proficiency in alchemy is kind of skewed if I'm honest…"

Lilith and Saru looked at each other and giggled. Those words were an understatement. They believed that Dyon could like gain certification as a Higher Venerable right now if he really wanted. But his soul was still in the mortal realms. As for his senses, it was on a complete other level. There weren't individuals as good as him even in high tier bubble worlds.

But, they understood what he was trying to say now…

"… Still, no matter how skewed it is, I can see how ridiculous it is for her to reach such a level while still being an Immortal Essence Realm expert, especially since she doesn't have an innate aurora. I can see through her soul strength with ease. She's at most better than the average Lower Venerable, close to a Middle Venerable.

"By my estimation, only Immortal Saints should be able to become Higher and Peak Venerables. Only after entering the Immortal Celestial Realm would you have deep enough cultivation to become Empyreans, and likewise, only Immortal Law experts could become Higher and Peak Empyreans, leaving Alchemy Gods as a realm exclusive to Immortal Gods."

"So what do you think is going on?" Saru asked.

"This Venerable Taline character definitely used some underhanded means to gain her standing. I wouldn't be surprised if the only Immortal Saint of this alchemy guild was involved. After all, from the context clues, she seems to be his lover.

"I actually wouldn't have bothered to care much about this, honestly. I plan for us to leave this place once that Dragon King finally gets his life in order and makes it here. However, she decided to piss me off, so she can only blame her bad luck."

"How is it possible for something like that to be falsified, though?" Saru knew how stringent Pill Sword Mountain was, how could this small place manage to dupe them.

"That's the only part worth investigating." Dyon said with a smile. "No matter how great the power, they're not infallible. I may not yet be able to draw or completely understand empyrean grade arrays, but I can already think of several methods to trick their system with a single glance. Even if Taline is a fool, that doesn't mean her backer is. And even if he is, they had millions of years to think about it.

"If Pill Sword Mountain really cared about not being duped, they'd draw god grade arrays for them all, but clearly they don't mind leaving these loopholes behind.

"I haven't even met anyone of this Pill Sword Mountain, but for some reason, I have an instinctive dislike for them… We'll see where this goes."

While Dyon was casually deciding whether or not to make enemies out of one of the most powerful Hegemons on the immortal plane, he likely didn't realize that he had set the plane itself on fire.
