Chapter 1709 Pretty
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!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow, 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.
"Isn't it pretty?" Alauna asked with a bright smile.
Alauna seemed oblivious to the fact she nearly gave her father a heart attack.
Dyon could only laugh along with her. "Yes, very pretty."
Over the next few weeks, Dyon began to understand. Unlike the Demon Sage, his body, and that of Clara and Alauna, were perfectly suited to this kind of strength.
Little Alauna's innate instinct was to flood her brain with soul qi, resulting in the disconnect between one's Mind's Eye and their body to be closed.
When Dyon replicated his daughter's teachings, he realized that the brutal rampaging of blood the Demon Sage described vanished without a trace. Every beating of his heart, and every flexing muscle fiber, suddenly fell under Dyon's complete purview. As a result, Dyon had no need to reach the Pseudo Dao Realm in order to control himself, but this didn't mean that he didn't need practice.
Still, Dyon realized that there were many other benefits to fueling his mind with soul qi.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm For one, his thinking speed, something he thought couldn't possibly improve any further, had taken another massive leap forward. Dyon was certain that even Higher Existences couldn't match his thinking speed now.
Secondly, his comprehension abilities skyrocketed. Dyon had felt that the path toward comprehending daos was an insurmountable mountain before. As a result, he had planned on streamlining his paths, focusing on his flames and Weapon's Master will. But, that foggy path suddenly felt completely clear when his soul qi flooded his mind.
Thirdly, his level of control reached an all new level. This much was obvious, considering it allowed him to take control over his rampaging blood, but Dyon realized it was even further than just this. When he executed techniques, they suddenly took a step forward toward perfection. It was as though there wasn't a single ounce of wasted energy.
By extension, Dyon's [Devour] reached ridiculous heights, as did the range of his control over atmospheric qi. Before, Dyon could only wield a few dozen meters, much like everyone else. Only Madeleine could wield several hundred meters worth of atmospheric qi. But, under this odd state, Dyon felt his control over qi was no less fantastical.
Of course, Dyon's soul was near the peak of what was possible for mortals, while Madeleine still had a long way to go with her constitution, so this wasn't to say that Dyon's potential along this path was greater than hers.
Fourthly, Dyon simply felt… smarter, for lack of a better descriptor. Dyon felt that if he had these abilities when he confronted Aritzia, he wouldn't have made such a basic mistake as confusing what board they were playing on. Maybe his intelligence wasn't infallible now, but it was far less fallible than it had been in the past.
There were so many benefits that Dyon could hardly believe it. Could it really be that he and his people were a whole race of individuals with these abilities?
But, Dyon came to understand that he simply had special circumstances compared to his people.
Firstly, Dyon's Titan Diamond Body made his body oppressively powerful. Basically, the strength he could exude was his own from the beginning, it was just that his True Meridians allowed him to use this strength more effectively.
