Chapter 2062 Dao Heart?
?Dyon felt that he had suddenly been missing out on something his whole life. Just how many const.i.tutions with abstruse awakening conditions had he run across in his lifetime?
There was Amphorae"s const.i.tution which required falling in love with the same man through two reincarnations in order to manifest its true strength. There was Ri"s const.i.tution oddity where her Elvin Queen"s Reign didn"t manifest until she resolved its conflict with her Void Kitsune Faith Seed. There was Madeleine"s const.i.tution which before awakening made her feel an uncontrollable l.u.s.t during the full moon…
Just how many const.i.tutions were there that had odd conditions, often unknown to even its wielder? Dyon himself had had no idea that his t.i.tan Diamond Body had the Ancient Battlefield itself as its world until years into having it.
Who was to say that there wasn"t some obscure soul const.i.tution with had the ridiculous condition of burning one"s soul to activate?
There was no learner"s manual for cultivation. It may seem like there is due to how many techniques existed, but weren"t these just written by those who originally had no idea what they were doing as well? Just how many new techniques were created everyday? Every week? Month? Year? Millennium?
In the same vein, how could const.i.tutions be so easily understood? Const.i.tutions were incredibly rare to begin with, two of the same const.i.tution might not even appear in the same generation! Let alone the fact that the mortal plane"s population has taken a steep trend downward.
Dyon suddenly felt a wave of enlightenment, his body all but froze.
"I always believed the greatest weakness of the soul was that it couldn"t be used to attack directly, but is that really the case? How many people use qi to attack directly? You might be able to kill someone far weaker than you with a surge of qi, but when facing an opponent at near or the same level, it"s always best to choose to use a technique…
"The path your qi takes in your meridians, the way it"s expelled, how it"s used, this is what makes the energy path gain its strength.
"Before that, the body cultivation path was the most crude. Aren"t the muscles qi and soul qi in this context? No one uses their muscles to attack directly, that would be ridiculous… We use our muscles as levers to generate torque and explosive power in our limbs… This is how the strength of the body path comes into play…
"But what about the soul? We use arrays to implement our strength, but the problem is that scaling this strength is too difficult.
"The more powerful the array, the longer it takes to deploy. The more complex the runes of the array, the stronger it is, but once again, it takes longer to draw…
"But this isn"t a flaw of the soul, it"s the flaw of the techniques used to converge soul strength. The problem is that it"s simply too difficult to fix this issue… techniques like [Soul Aid] have tried, but they mandate a high threshold of both talent and stamina.
"This isn"t my problem to fix, though. I have no need to do so, nor the time to do so. But what if my const.i.tution fixes this problem for me…?
"Arrays use runes to communicate with the heavens. That archaic language is able to connect with the heavens in such a way that it becomes capable of commanding it to perform certain tasks. This is why I always equated drawing arrays to writing code.
"The true theory behind it is akin to a gate. Every rune is able to open a gate toward heaven"s power. The more complex the rune, the larger the gate, and the more powerful the array.
"But what if my soul was able to forcibly make this gate larger with the use of weaker, more simply runes?"
Dyon"s eyes flashed opened, the illusory white flames around him vanishing completely.
"Everyone can only use their soul to form a bridge with the Heavens… But what if I can do much more than just form a bridge…?"
"To forcibly open heaven"s gates… to s.n.a.t.c.h fate from its jaws as you please… This is the essence of my const.i.tution… But is it really a const.i.tution? Or it is my dao heart…?"
Dyon faintly felt the bottleneck on his t.i.tan Diamond Body loosen, but he knew there was no point in trying to breakthrough once again. He understood now that the reason he hadn"t been able to breakthrough before was because he was lacking in comprehension. Now, however, he was lacking in energy.
What a joke this was. In order to perfect t.i.tan Diamond Body, only immortal qi would work. But Dyon"s body couldn"t withstand such a thing right now. In fact, it wouldn"t be able to unless he broke through the mortal plane. But if he broke through the mortal plane, he would lose the chance to perfect his mortal body.
How could this be anything other than a cruel joke?
Still, Dyon was not a normal man. He had already though of two possible solutions.
One was concocting a true immortal grade pill. The trouble was that he didn"t have any immortal grade herbs. This wasn"t a gap he could fill be grafting mortal grade herbs together…
The second solution lied in something that had been playing at the back of his mind for a long time already… The Overlord Realm!
When Dyon was dual cultivating with Ri just now, he realized the progress of her soul"s strength had slowed to a grinding halt. It was as though now that she had entered the third facet, entering the fourth would be impossible.
There was definitely a secret laying silently here. And Dyon wanted to know what it was!
Dyon threw these thoughts to the back of his mind, grinning evilly.
Ri blinked innocently, pretending not to notice. On his other side, Clara rolled her eyes and fell to her pillow, pretending to be asleep. Madeleine took an "I can"t hear or see anything" approach, while the distance between him and Amphorae, despite not actually changing, seemed hundreds of times wider.
"You four actually want to bully me like this?"
Ri tilted her head. "Did you all here anything?"
