Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God

"Is it a big deal?" Dyon said with a raised eyebrow. 

It wasn't that he was looking down on the Immortal Plane, it was rather that this reaction, even taking that into consideration, was still too over the top. Sargeras was still a man that rivalled Higher Existences at the end of the day. It took Dyon mentioning how he lost his virginity for Lilith's father to show even a hint of emotion, and even that was very reserved all considered. 

He just felt it was below Sargeras to react like this. 

"What do you know, you snot nosed brat!" Sargeras slapped Dyon's forehead with a palm. 

"Father!" Amphorae snatched the dizzy Dyon from Sargeras' hands. 

"He's really too insufferable! He knows nothing yet he insists on mouthing off! If he hadn't swindled you, I'd put his head on a stake!"

"Who swindled who?!" 

Sargeras shrunk back, avoiding his daughter's glance once more. 

Amphorae wasn't one to show much emotion at all, but she didn't seem capable of stopping it when her father was around. Sargeras knew well that this had little to do with how comfortable she was around him and that the real reason was likely the exact opposite. 

In the end, he really had left her all alone with no protection to fend for herself. Even though he eventually came back and protected, it was an odd relationship they had. 

After all, Sargeras had countless wives and even more children. Before he left, he hadn't been particularly close with any of them. In the end, he only treasured Amphorae now because she was all he had left. At least, that was the reason initially. It was only later he came to understand the joys of raising a child. 

Unfortunately, Amphorae was already a grown woman when he found her. This was probably why he latched onto Little Alauna and doted on her so much. It was like he finally got a redo. 

"Bah…" Sargeras waved his arm at Dyon's amused expression. "… This kid is still clueless. Do you even know that one must shed their mortal body before transcending?" 

"Yes?" Dyon answered. 

"Are you even aware of why?" 

"They're imperfect." 

"Stop giving me superficial answers. You clearly don't have a solid answer." Sargeras frowned with disdain. "It may not be a big deal for a normal cultivator to give up their mortal body. In fact, it's an upgrade for many of them. However, for a cultivator with a constitution, it's a terrible loss."

"You don't get to keep your constitution after you shed your mortal body?" This was the first time Dyon had heard this. 

"Of course not. The reason I can be reborn with a new body here that contains my constitution is because the Mortal Plane allows imperfections to exist. But, if I tried the same thing on the Immortal Plane, my constitution would be rejected and I would end up with a normal Immortal Body." 

"You're implying that…" Dyon's gaze sharpened. 

"If you don't perfect your constitution before you transcend, you lose all the effort you've ever put into it. This is why I've still yet to call down my Heavenly Steps and is why I won't call it down unless I'm about to leave my prime. Taking that step will only bring me another closer to losing all of my efforts. 

"Even all the blood, sweat and tears I've put into refining my body will be gone. My trip to the Timeless Library could be considered tragic… But at the very least, I learned this one piece of useful information. 

"The only way to keep your mortal body when you transcend is to make it immortal. And the only path toward doing that is reaching the perfection stage of your constitution, or else you're destined to be mediocre on the Immortal Plane.

"Cultivation is simply too slow on that plane. Even the lowest Immortal Realm could take hundreds of thousands of years to take one step in. Let alone reaching the highest…"

Sargeras shook his head. "Things are still too abstract for you to understand, so I'll spell it out for you. 

"The Immortal Essence Realm, the Immortal Saint Realm, the Immortal Celestial Realm, the Immortal Law Realm, and finally, the Immortal God Realm."

'There's no mistake.' Dyon's eyes narrowed. 'The immortal cultivation realms perfectly mirror the mortal cultivation realms. It's no wonder those puppets of the Sage Tower still function with inferior qi…' 

"30% of the babies of the Immortal Plane are born with Mortal Bodies. Closer to 60% are born directly with Essence Grade Immortal Bodies and immediately have Immortal Essence Realm cultivation. 9% are born with Saint Grade Immortal Bodies the moment they leave their mother's womb. Less than 1% are born with Celestial Grade Immortal Bodies! 

"There are even a staggeringly small minority who aren't even fit to be placed within percentage totals that are born with Law Grade Immortal Bodies. 

"Do you understand the disadvantage we of the Mortal Plane are at now? Do you see the disparity?

"When we transcend, we are "gifted" the lowest level Essence Grade Immortal Body. Cultivating even a single step forward is impossible for the vast majority of us. Do you understand? 

"So yes it is a big deal, you ungrateful boy! Do you want to be below the feet of others the moment you finish acting like a King here?!" 

While the Demon Sage ranted and Dyon hid behind Amphorae, his mind was actually elsewhere. 

'Could it be that The Entity is within the Immortal God Realm? How the hell am I supposed to defeat it…'

"What could you do if I did have a method of entering the Immortal Plane?" Dyon stopped messing around and spoke seriously. 

Sargeras snorted. "Nothing for you. Consider it your respect to me as your father-in-law."

"Oh?" Dyon sneered. "Is this the same father-in-law who's yet to hand me a dowry? Are you trying to say that my Amphorae isn't worth much?" 

Sargeras suddenly felt a cold sweat mat his back. He didn't dare to look toward Amphorae right now. 

"What nonsense are you spouting? I gave you an entire Mystical World and a treasure from the Immortal Plane. Are you saying this was not enough?!" 

"You mean the Mystical World that just crumbled because you absorbed its most valuable resource? Or do you mean that Sage Tower that I snatched from you after you tried to kill me when we first met?" 

"What did you try to do?" Amphorae's gaze turned cold. Even the Demon Generals couldn't help but take several steps back.
