Chapter 974 70
At this moment, because his soul had broken into the celestial realm, the moment Dyon"s soul was unsealed, he would be able to instantly learn any heaven level technique transcribed into the tome. Once his soul broke through to the Dao stage? He"d be able to instantly learn any divine level technique!
That was just on the surface. Think about how many billions of years of the tome had existed for, how many hands it had swapped, over all of that time, just how many techniques had it acc.u.mulated?!
This snotty nosed brat! He had a tome filled with techniques already, yet he still wanted theirs?! How greedy!
Dyon could only shrug at these thoughts. The Soul Tome was too stingy, up till now, it had only given him two techniques.
Of course, when the Soul Tome felt Dyon"s thoughts, it shook with rage. Those "only" two techniques were both completely heaven defying. One was the essence dao of array alchemy, and the other was a completely unranked cultivation technique! How was this being stingy at all?!
The tome had plenty of techniques within it, but it had never had a master as weak as Dyon. All of the techniques it had stored within its pages were of the Mystic level at a bare minimum. Even if it showed them to Dyon, what purpose would that have? It would just be sending him off to his death!
The Soul Tome continued to vibrate, making its displeasure known. Its owner actually wanted to fill its pages with puny Earth and Heaven level techniques. It was completely filled with grievances. First Dyon had the audacity to put two corpses within its pages, now this! It had never been treated so terribly in its whole existence!
Dyon slapped its tough leather cover. "Stop complaining, didn"t I give you an elementary level faith seed to play with too? What"re you complaining for?"
The Soul Tome vibrated out what Dyon a.s.sumed was a harrumph, causing the spirits to laugh before choking on their own spit.
This kid dared to steal the faith seed of a clan and use it to feed his treasure? How bold! How arrogant!
Truth be told it wasn"t Dyon who stole the faith seed, it was the Dragon King. But, at the same time, Dyon would have done it personally had he not pa.s.sed out at the time. He was glad the Dragon King took Loki"s faith seed. It would greatly help him in comprehending magic in the future. After all, who could have much higher attainments in magic than a transcended being?
Plus, if any other young masters and clans angered him in the future, he would directly steal their faith seeds too. They didn"t have a single hope in divining who he was anyway, there wasn"t a technique in existence that could see through the pages of the Soul Tome.
"So, how about it, seniors? Don"t you want your legacies to grace the libraries of the soon to be greatest sect ever? There"s only a few hours left until others start coming.
"Think about it. All of you are seeking a single dose of karma. After I die, the acc.u.mulated karma will end. However, if I start a sect with your legacies as the foundation, if I have the potential you all think I do, then wouldn"t it be possible for that sect to rule for hundreds of millions of years? In that time, the good karma you acc.u.mulate would be several hundred-fold if not much more. Because, in a way, you"ll all be the founding fathers and mothers of the greatest sect ever created!"
The Soul Tome continued to vibrate, expressing its discontent. Dyon could feel that it appreciated being with Clara far more than with him.
"Hush, in the future I"ll find you some Origin level techniques to swallow up, how does that sound?"
Dyon felt the Soul Tome vibrate again, before it nodded eagerly like an adorable toddler.
Dyon laughed lightly. Unlike his other treasures of the 33 heavens, the Soul Tome seemed to be very child-like.
"Your soul isn"t powerful enough to evoke its spirit to appear. You"ll understand more in the future." The Dragon King explained.
"Kid." The spirits finally recovered enough to answer seriously. "Although you"re very talented, becoming a sect or creating a clan of the level you"re talking about is almost impossible.
"As far as we"re aware, the only person to come close to doing so was the Demon Sage."
A look of reverence appeared in the eyes of the body cultivators before it was replaced with pity. The Demon Sage had left his own clan to prove that they had made the wrong choice very early on. In his lifetime, he managed to build his clan to the level of a Peak King G.o.d Clan with 24 universes under his rule, the very same as the Uidah Clan of Dyon"s quadrant. However, his empire was destroyed after he entered the Timeless Library.
"On top of that, 25 universes is only the entry level of what a true clan should be. In ancient times, an Emperor G.o.d Clan was akin to an ant."
Dyon listened attentively to these seniors, after all, they spoke the truth. During his second trial, even the Viserion Emperor G.o.d Clan could have been wiped out in an instant by those Mysterious Clans.
Of course, in those times, universes numbers in the trillions. However, just because that was the case didn"t mean that they had suddenly become easier to conquer. If anything, because there weren"t the campaign gates as an easy proxy for war, conquering universes was many times more difficult in ancient times.
"Kid, you have to understand that it"s not that we don"t want to believe in you, but just that it"s far too improbable. Even though Emperor G.o.d Clans have become the standard for power in this era, it hasn"t become an easy task to accomplish. And, without an Emperor G.o.d Clan, the tower will never allow you to step foot on the highest floor.
"Do you want to know the worst part? You want to become create the greatest sect ever, but have you ever considered why the position of first ranked quadrant has become unshakeable? Have you even considered the compet.i.tion your facing in this era alone?
"After the rank of Emperor G.o.d Clan is achieved, the next large jump in faith comes when a sect conquers 100 universes. It is at that point that said sect officially become a One Comet Sect.
"The current first ranked quadrant, the homeland of the Star Race and the Star Clan, is a Two Comet Clan!"
Dyon"s eyes widened. Common sense was telling him that this spirit senior was telling him that this Star Race had conquered 200 universes, but the moment he thought this, there were many things he didn"t understand.
For one, how was his Celestial Deer Quadrant ranked first those few millennia ago if there was such an existence here? Secondly, weren"t their only 10000 universes left? Now there were 10100 universes? That didn"t even mention the hidden universes that housed the devil path cultivators.
But then Dyon began to re-evaluate. The 10 000 universe number he had long since kept in his mind was a number the younger Belmont Prince had given him, how credible could it possibly be? The number was likely taken an estimate he made after reading about the fact there were 100 Epistemic Towers. Since there was one for every quadrant, a.s.suming the ten thousand figure was reasonable.
Obviously, since the Star Race was under the rule of a single clan, they didn"t need two towers for both their quadrants.
That said, this was all Dyon"s guess. One way or another, he had found it weird that there were exactly ten thousand universes left. The number was too… perfect. Real life was rarely so rounded out.
What was truly surprising was that the difference between first and everybody else was so large…
The second ranked Drago-Qilin lands didn"t even have a single Emperor G.o.d Clan, let alone a Comet level clan. The fourth ranked Golden Flame Quadrant had four Emperor G.o.d Sects. Similarly, down the rankings, a quadrant usually had at least two Emperor G.o.d Clans. None were even close…
"There"s a lot about this cosmos we don"t know. The Star Race only appeared a few thousand years ago and completely swallowed up a quadrant that used to house a minor quadrant, not even ranked in the top 70. At that time, they had already become a One Comet Clan, so what could such a weak quadrant do?
