Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God

For example, a key wielder cannot lower the cultivation requirements of a gates before quickly raising it. However, a key wielder can arbitrarily increase the cultivation requirement whenever they want. Such an ability for a sneak attack would be devastating. This was like what Dyon did with Thadius during his meeting with the Uidah.

Had God Goldeen raised the limit to the celestial realm, they might have been able to conquer the tower before the Flaming Lily Sect even responded.

The restriction to these raising and lowering abilities was simple.

For one, this ability only worked in one universe. It couldn't be used on gates outside the universe that was home to their Epistemic Tower. If they wanted to change the cultivation threshold of a gate outside this region, they'd have to do it the conventional way and conquer all of the towers within.

Secondly, when lowering the realm, any who were above it the limit would be teleported out, not killed. The only time one would be killed is if they knowingly tried to enter a lower threshold gate with a higher cultivation.

Thirdly, after this teleportation occurred, one couldn't simply raise the realm once more. In that case, raising it would have to wait until the next campaign began.

These were just one of the many restrictions placed on key wielders in the essence of fairness. However, as Madeleine said, there were other tricks they could have used.

Had the Golden Crow Sect utilized celestials in their sneak attack by raising the gate from a saint gate to a celestial gate, the Flaming Lily Sect would have definitely lost all of their towers.

"You are right." The Master said. "Their actions are too odd, but the reason they are odd revolves around you."

"Around me?" Madeleine's brows raised.

"Well. Particularly around your husband." A particularly young elder chimed in, shamelessly teasing Madeleine.

"Dyon?" Madeleine's surprise increased.

"Simply put, these past two campaigns were put in place to test if you truly were the first wife of True God Sacharro. In the case that you were, the Golden Crow Sect would negotiate with us on equal terms…" The Master paused.

"And in the case that I wasn't?" Madeleine asked with a serious expression.

"I'm sure you can make some guesses, just like I'm sure you know that most of those guesses would result in bad things. The best case being your being taken away to be used as a cultivation furnace, and the worst case being the Golden Crow Sect's rise far beyond our imagine and the inevitable destruction of our sect."

Madeleine's expression turned cold. Amethyst's flames were simply far too enticing for fire cultivators, especially males mesmerized by Madeleine's beauty. To think the Golden Crow Sect would go so far.

Just like musicians who cultivated their own compositions, flame specialists cultivated their own unique flames. The idea of adding the legendary violet flames to their cultivated flames was enough to make many of them drool with desire.

"Still, your flames were only one of the two reasons they needed to probe the depth of our strength, including your connection to True God Sacharro."

"And the other?" Madeleine asked.

"The Golden Flame Mystical World's entrance has been found."

**

It had been a little over three and a half months since Dyon entered the Mystical World and his progress could only be described as mind numbing.

Under intense pressure, Dyon's soul was continuously tempered. It was built up and shattered so many times that its density had increased by hundreds of times, easily.

For months, Dyon meditated while under severe, blood curdling pain. [Soul Rend], a divine grade soul cultivation technique, focused entirely on breaking down the soul to its finest pieces before re-invigorating this broken-down soul with the use of processed conventional energy, purified to the point of being acceptable by the soul.

There were two deciding factors for the grade of a soul cultivation technique. The first was related to how thoroughly the soul could be broken down while also maintaining absolute safety. The second was related to this purification of energy.

The reason Soul Rend Quadrant is able to birth so many talented soul path cultivators is because it is filled with energy that is already purified in this way. However, in other quadrants less tailored to soul cultivators, the energy in the atmosphere isn't processed, leaving it impure for the consumption of the soul.

Essentially, a soul cultivation technique's grade heavily relies upon how efficiently it can purify conventional energies into soul energy.

It is also worth mentioning that any kind of energy, even devil qi, can be converted into soul energy after processing. The difference is that devil qi would produce less soul energy per volume as compared to conventional energy.

That said… Conventional energy wasn't the energy best suited for conversation into soul energy either. But, that was a matter for another time.

Still, no matter the grade of the technique, soul cultivation would always be painful. In fact, the higher the grade, the more painful the process often was.

Before, Dyon had utilized Evangeline's energy to raise his soul cultivation. Because of this, the soul energy didn't perfectly integrate with his soul. Although it had boosted his cultivation, he didn't have full mastery over it.

Luckily, over the past three months, Dyon made this energy his own. His soul cultivating speed was so fast that he shattered his master's expectations time and time again. It was to the point where Esmeralda legitimately believed that if Dyon didn't have to worry about the restrictions on his body and did nothing but soul cultivate, he could reach the half-step transcendent realm in less than 50 years.

That estimation made Esmeralda tremble with shock. 50 years? She had never heard of anyone reaching that realm with less than 200 000 years of accumulation. Even the Dragon King needed 300 000 years!

'Could it really be the accumulated talent of billions that accounts for this? If that's the case… Why is his body cultivation so slow in comparison?'

Dyon's master frowned. Could Dyon's body cultivation be so slow because he wasn't technically cultivating his own body? He was actually just integrating the cultivation of someone else…

How ironic that would be. Having another's blood essence should have sped up one's cultivation speed, but it slowed down Dyon's?

'No… That shouldn't be it…' Esmeralda shook her head.

Although the process of integrating blood essence was slightly different than conventional body cultivation, body cultivation talent should definitely affect it in a positive way.

Esmeralda couldn't help but think back to the sleeping baby in Dyon's Mind's Eye.

In the end, she sighed. The answer to her questions wouldn't be solved in a short time.

That aside, Dyon's progression had shocked her. She had thought that Dyon's Divine Sense range would expand by two times, but it had actually expanded by four with more room to grow still! Dyon could cover an entire planet two times over with room to breathe. For a Peak Celestial soul, this was unheard of. Only a mid-level dao formation soul could match such a range of nearly 100 000km.

It was only now that Dyon realized how useless pushing his soul to the dao formation realm had been against Elder Nova. If Dyon had to measure the battle prowess of his soul, he was already far above many dao formation monsters!

This wasn't all either. Esmeralda's estimation of Dyon's split mind's technique was wrong as well.

When Dyon's was in his second trial, he was able to split his mind millions of ways. However, that was only due to the support he received from the angel clan spiritual vein. Back then, Dyon's true limit was ten thousand.

However, that limit had now been increased by twenty times!

Not only could Dyon create higher level arrays even faster now, the greatest boost to his power was the Florence family technique.

Dyon's clone limit had increased from ten thousand, to two hundred thousand. In addition, because of his master's teachings, his mastery of the technique had increased as well.

Firstly, his range of control had increased along with his divine sense. Secondly, his peak level clone had once more increase to the 75% and could last for an entire day. Thirdly, and maybe most excitedly, his lower level clones had increased from the 10% limit, to 15%.

Maybe the only down tick of the past three months was the fact they had passed through less than 50% of the second tier due to Dyon lowering his clone numbers. However, he found all of this to be very much worth it because his soul wasn't all that had improvements.
