Book 9: Chapter 26: Struck Zero (2)

The Demon Sage had put away his envious expression and looked toward Dyon with the utmost seriousness.

“If you had been born with it like you were supposed to be, this wouldn’t be difficult for you. I had to make sure that my energy and body were perfectly balanced. I could have broken into the Higher Existence Realm with just my body long ago, I didn’t need to rely on the Epistemic Tower to reach that realm along that path. But I was held back by my energy cultivation.”

According to what Dyon knew, the Demon Sage needed to reach the top floor of the Epistemic Tower in order to reach the Higher Existence Realm. The problem was that there were restrictions placed on the tower. One couldn’t step onto the dao floors unless you had the Faith of a King God Clan backing you, and you couldn’t step onto the top floor unless you had the backing of an Emperor God Clan.

There were restrictions on the celestial floor as well, that being the requirement of a Royal God Clan. Luckily, Dyon had taken control of Soul Rending Peak, which freed him of this restriction. But, he had yet to conquer Soul Universe, so he couldn’t count as a King God Clan quite yet. This wasn’t because there were hidden Clans within Soul Universe, but rather because Dyon had to personally subdue the universe itself, something he wasn’t quite powerful enough to do yet. Though, this mutation in his meridians might change that…

The Demon Sage turned his gaze toward Little Alauna who was in Dyon’s arms. “This little pup is already leagues better than you in that regard, likely because it’s all she’s known since birth.”

Little Alauna blinked, too enthralled by her father’s embrace to listen to Sargeras’ words.

“If I were you, I’d need to reach the dao realm before even thinking of undoing those seals. But since your body is unique and it seems you’re from a race of people meant to take this path, you won’t have to go so far. Maybe the pseudo dao realm will be enough?”

“Pseudo Dao Realm, huh?” Dyon smiled toward Little Alauna, it seemed he was more interested in playing with his daughter than listening to the Demon Sage’s words.

The Demon Sage snarled. “It’s all rainbows and sunshine until she falls in love.”

Dyon glared at Sargeras. But, remembering that this was what the Demon Sage had experienced with him and Amphorae, he couldn’t help but laugh. If his little girl could find a man as good as him, wouldn’t that be a good thing? Though if he tried to have other wives, Dyon would break his legs.

“Daddy, daddy. Do this!”

Dyon’s attention turned back to his little girl, only to see her eyes glowing. The hazel of her hazel green eyes suddenly deepened in color, becoming a bright, complex gold.

Dyon blinked in astonishment. He wanted to call out to Alauna to be careful, but it was already too late.

With his soul, he could see what was happening very clearly. Alauna had sent a stream of soul qi from her Mind’s Eye into her brain.

This sort of matter was incredibly reckless. Soul qi was seemingly the most docile of the energy, but it could be incredibly dangerous if one’s soul talent was too great.

The reason Dyon wasn’t worried about reaching the Pseudo Dao Realm was because he knew he would only need a brief moment to break into it from the Peak Celestial Realm.

For others, this was ridiculous. Just the process of comprehending Enigmatic Energy would take years for even the most talented. However, hadn’t Dyon already comprehended Enigmatic Energy?

One had to remember that Planet Qi was simply Enigmatic Qi filtered through an appropriate Soul Cultivation Technique. The moment Dyon’s soul broke into the dao realm, he had already, by proxy, comprehended enigmatic qi.

However, this was the very reason Dyon didn’t dare to send his soul qi into his body. No matter how docile, planet qi was still qi that was birthed from enigmatic qi. Dyon’s body wasn’t yet strong enough to withstand it in the past. Well, his body could now, but his meridians were still too weak.

As Dyon’s daughter, and as a baby girl birthed from a Heaven’s Child, how could Alauna’s soul talent be poor? She had an unheard of Peak Fourth Grade Innate Soul just like her father. This meant that her soul was the equivalent of a Peak Meridian Formation expert from her birth!

Now, she was sending soul qi of a meridian formation expert into a body that wasn’t even at the Foundation stage yet. How could Dyon not be shocked?!

With Dyon’s thinking speed, he underwent several stages of grief in an instant. Would he really lose his little girl, just like this?

All this time, he thought he had been protecting her by not inquiring after her talent, but in the end, wasn’t it this neglect that led to Alauna experimenting on her own? Her death was no one’s fault but his own.

Too many terrible things had happened this day. Wasn’t growing stronger supposed to be a happy occasion?

However, the seen of Little Alauna’s mind turning to mush under her soul qi didn’t happen as Dyon expected.

A halo of light appeared above her head, making her look like even more of a little angel than she was already.

“Ah!” The Demon Sage called out in shock, his spirit form wavering in the air.

“See, see?” Alauna’s bright smile caused the weight on Dyon’s heart to drop. He didn’t even register how miraculous her feat was as he held her tightly.

He resolved to not continue ignoring Alauna’s talent. He couldn’t let her stumble around blindly like this.
