Book 12: Chapter 120: Bad Luck (2)

Saru and Lilith immediately noticed these changes in Dyon, but they could only look toward each other with bewildered gazes.

The truth was that by now, they had both broken into the third facet.

Saru had already had a powerful body and was quickly able to grasp immortal qi. In addition to this, she had grasped the laws of the fist and palm. These laws were incredibly rare as many preferred to use weapons, however Saru had actually comprehended two of them.

As for Lilith, comprehending sword law was as easy as breathing. In fact, for her, she could probably comprehend any sword path she wanted. Her talent in the sword was absolutely obscene to the point of making all those who dared to use the weapon blush with shame.

In comparison, it was harder for her to reach the qi and body facets. However, how many treasures had she snatched from Dyon in the last few decades? And they were even immortal grade treasures at that. If she still couldn’t succeed, then no one could.

This was all to say that Saru and Lilith might have never acted since being by Dyon’s side, but their strength already put many Immortal Essence experts to shame. In addition, maybe if Dyon finally dual cultivated with them, their souls would breakthrough and help them reach the fourth facet.

Yet, despite all of this being true, and on top of that knowing that Dyon should only be breaking into the third facet right now, their momentums had been nothing compared to this. Just what was going on exactly?

“Is he… breaking into the fourth facet?” Saru asked softly.

“How could that be possible? He said himself that his soul was still in the mortal realms.”

“But is it really? How is it possible for a mortal soul to produce immortal sense? Even beyond that, how is it possible for a mortal soul to sustain the concoction of empyrean grade pills? Plus, didn’t you notice that his soul has been getting incessantly stronger recently, yet there’s been no sign of it breaking through? It almost feel as though it won’t ever breakthrough and the only thing holding it back is the strength of his body.”

Lilith’s expression changed slightly. She remembered that Dyon’s soul had suddenly undergone massive growth after he absorbed yin fire and yang ice energy. Originally, they thought it was because the suppression of Dyon’s soul, once released, caused it to burst forth with greater potential. But… Wasn’t there another explanation for this?

On those occasions, Dyon’s body had grown stronger. Maybe the reason he didn’t notice that his soul had grown stronger as well until he regained balance was precisely because it had deviated that strength toward suppressing it from flaring up.

In that case, didn’t it mean that Dyon’s soul would ceaselessly grow more powerful without breaking into the immortal realm? And if that was the case… What if it could already be considered to have entered or even transcended the soul facet?

“… What if he already perfected his soul…” Lilith suddenly muttered.

Her words caused a tremble to surge through both of their delicate figures.

All this time, Dyon was searching for a way to break his strength away from the Heavens. However, he had been completely helpless when it came to his soul. He simply didn’t have any methods of slowly building it up like he did his body or qi…

Those secrets he told Lilith that day left him especially helpless. It was clear from that that while constructing a body or comprehending qis and laws might be relatively simple, the reconstruction of even the simplest soul was so far beyond him that he didn’t even know how to take a first step, let alone follow a path to the end.

But, there was one thing that Dyon hadn’t considered but Saru and Lilith had enough information to…

Was this current Dyon inferior to his past self? Of course not. It could even be said that the Dyon of now still wasn’t worthy of even touching the cloth his past self used to wipe his shoes.

If this was the case… Then how could the current Dyon set off on a path his past self hadn’t completed? And even be on his path toward succeeding at that?

The simple answer was that he couldn’t. Or, more accurately, since Dyon’s current self could do it, then his past self could do so a thousandfold better.

“… I think I understand now…” Saru said softly. “… It’s likely that his soul has already perfectly broken from the shackles of the Heavens… In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he succeeded in bringing his body, qi and comprehension out of its grasp in the past as well… However, what he couldn’t do was surmount life and death… Or, more accurately, he could do so for himself, but he was unable to bring us along with him or else we would have never died…

“Because of that, he needed to rely on the Heavens to give us a chance to reincarnate, but he needed to make sure that no one, and especially the Heavens, couldn’t recognize him… So he chained his soul and sealed himself completely…”

What did all of this mean? It meant that Dyon’s soul was the only part of him left of his former self. And if that was true… let alone the soul facet… there wasn’t a single soul in all of existence that could match.

This meant only one thing… Dyon was breaking into the fourth facet.
