Chapter 2031 - Star (2) (1/2)
It was impossible for Dyon to rely on his qi. Without entering the dao realm, there was no way to vastly improve his energy cultivation in a short time. Likewise, it was impossible for him to rely on his body. This wasn't because he couldn't vastly increase its strength, because he could. Rather, it was because he didn't see a path to victory that could be reached by relying on his body.
However, there was one path that remained, the very path that supported him even when his body cultivation talent was nonexistent, even when he didn't have a set of meridians of his own… His soul.
The shattering of the Dragon-Phoenix Seals relied on battle prowess. Essentially, the stronger you were relative to your cultivation, the more seals you could shatter.
Under these circ.u.mstances, Dyon had been capable of shattering all 11 soul seals the moment he awoke from his forgotten night of passion with Jade's elder self. However, it was very obvious why he couldn't do so – his body simply wouldn't be able to handle it.
However, for the first time, Dyon's soul, qi, and body were almost perfectly in line. His qi had reached the pseudo-dao realm, his body had entered the dao realm, and his soul was still sitting at the very beginning of the dao realm, having been f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y suppressed by Dyon for so long. For a man who was so used to his soul vastly outpacing his other two paths, even to the point where there was a time his soul had entered the celestial realm while his qi was still of the essence gathering realm, this was a novel situation for Dyon…
But, this was no longer his limit. It hadn't been for a very long time.
Soul qi poured into Dyon like a raging torrent. Due to his True Domain being active, what once was a hidden event was laid b.a.r.e for all to see.
Numerous Dragon-Phoenix Seals were slowly pushed out from Dyon's spinning Primordial Yang that hung just below the feet of his Manifestation. They began to shatter one after another…
What once was three seals became four, then five, then six. If anyone familiar with the Dragon-Phoenix Seals saw this scene, they'd be reeling in shock.
Why was battle prowess the marker for shattering them? It was of course because the Heavens would never allow such easy cultivation to occur without a price given in exchange. However, this wasn't the main point. One was supposed to slowly whittle the seal's integrity away. You were meant to ”battle” with the seal itself. In practice, it should have been impossible to shatter so matter seals in quick succession.
The Ancestor frowned, unsure of what was going on. Even with his lineage, how could he have ever seen an Ancestral Grade technique before? He had never seen such auspicious signs, or anything close to it, for that matter.
His curiosity got the best of him. First this True Domain, then these odd symbols of dragons and phoenixes. Just what secrets did this boy hold?
The Ancestor believed that this presented a unique opportunity. If this boy carried secrets even he couldn't see through, that meant that they would be treasures even to his Sapientia Clan. If he was the reason these secrets were forced out then monopolized by them, he'd gain a great boon of karma that would most definitely help him in the cycle of reincarnation.
Thinking to this point, the Ancestor watched on, not believing there was anything Dyon could do to him in the short term.
