Normal youths wouldn't be able to begin cultivating until their meridians m.a.t.u.r.ed. But, youths with more talent m.a.t.u.r.ed quicker than others. And, for Junior, who took the Martial Saint pill that elevated his meridians to the True Deity grade, he was even quicker. So, there was no issue with him beginning to cultivate so early on.
”It was then I realized that the sense of familiarity wasn't coming from me, but the remnant's of Orcus and his constitution. So, I focused in on that feeling, trying to tap into my constitution more. I thought that maybe if I did, I could find some of Orcus' lingering memories then maybe grasp something.
”I ended up making great progression in just a few hours, likely because my body was created with a much higher level of Death God Body than I currently have, so my progress is smoother than it would be for others.
”It was then I realized that the sense of familiarity wasn't exactly about Orcus either. Well, it was related to him, but not his body directly. It was as though it was some sort of outside influence I was instinctually feeling close to. But, this only confused me more…
”What could be related to Orcus and death qi, but somehow be unrelated to Orcus himself – or rather not directly related. I racked by brain, but I couldn't understand it. That was when I remembered that among the core teachings of Orcus you showed me, there was a dual cultivation technique!”
Dyon's eyes widened. That was right… He had completely ignored that technique because not only did he have a far better dual cultivation technique, one that would be coveted even on the Immortal Plane, none of his wives comprehended death will. So, it was next to useless to him.
”That was when I realized, the qi was familiar to me not because it was from Orcus, but because it was from one or many of his wives. I remembered then that you used the hearts of Orcus' wives to catalyze the creation of my body. That was why it felt so familiar.”
”Still, none of this is enough for you to connect this to Mia and Bella.” Dyon said.
”You still don't get it? They said that your smell was familiar and comfortable to them. But, they obviously hadn't felt that way toward anyone else. Haven't you understood why that is yet?”
As though on cue, Mia and Bella trembled slightly in Dyon's arm, their beautiful, large dark opal eyes opening.
In that moment, the cry of two phoenixes shook Planet Soul.
Dyon understood then… Mia and Bella didn't recognize his smell, per se… they recognized the scent of his death will.
