Dyon blinked. ‘What technique?’
‘You’re in luck kid. How you got such a powerful woman to fall for you is beyond me. The heavens should strike you down.’
Dyon’s frown deepened. ‘Stop beating around the bush old lizard.’
‘The only techniques capable of effecting change in a primordial yang like this have long since left the mortal plane.
‘Those seals are known as the 33 Dragon-Phoenix Seals. They’re detailed in the very same Peak Ancestral Level Dual Cultivation Technique you keep turning your nose at.’
‘Ah…’ Dyon didn’t know what to say. In the few moments he had to spend with his wives, he didn’t want to turn their time of intimacy into a power grab, so he never paid attention to the Dragon King’s technique.
But now the old lizard was telling him Evangeline had used it on him?
‘The Dragon and Phoenix represent Sovereignty and Life, Death and Reincarnation respectively. However, they have also been the representation of man and woman for a very long time as well.
‘[The Heavens Seal the Dragon and Phoenix] is a Peak Ancestral Level Dual Cultivation Technique. The 33rd Seal is the peak-most level of the technique. When that level is reached, the man and woman would transform, becoming as favored as beasts by the heavens, having the advantage of both beasts and humans without the restrictions of either.’
‘But… I’ve never practiced this technique. How could I have even one seal, let alone the full 33?’
‘Isn’t that obvious? That woman obviously dual cultivated with you while you slept.’
Dyon didn’t want to believe it. Firstly, he felt as though he had betrayed his wives. Secondly, even if he was forced to betray them, he had slept through dual cultivating with a half-step transcendent with beauty great enough to stop his heart from beating? Wasn’t this the worst joke in the world? What the hell did he do to deserve this?
Dyon shook his head, that wasn’t even the most important part. The Dragon King got this technique after risking his life on the immortal plane. In fact, he was still on the run because of this very same technique. So, how the hell did Evangeline get a hole of it?
With Dyon’s intelligence, he should have figured all of this already. The Celestial Hamsters commenting on time will? A woman showing up who had some unknown affection for him? That same woman having access to a technique that only Dyon had access to on the mortal plane? If he couldn’t figure out at least a portion of the truth, his supposed ‘intelligence’ meant nothing.
However, the reason Dyon seemed to be going around in circles was because Evangeline gave him one final help, for the sake of saving his life.
When Dyon almost died due to burning his soul, it was Clara who resonated with his soul to unlock the thing he kept hidden within The Seal. This time, yet another one of his women saved him by doing the very same thing.
Evangeline resonated with Dyon, connecting with The Seal to seal off the flow of Dyon’s thought process. The moment he came close to an answer, before he was strong enough to handle the backlash, he would fall into a state of confusion, causing him to go back to square one.
Dyon wasn’t new to using arrays to manipulate the thoughts of others. For example, when he placed a contract seal of Alidor, Alidor was then forced to do everything for the sake of Dyon. However, that method was very crude.
Alidor only followed the laws of the contract seal because not doing so would result in the loss of his life. If Alidor decided he didn’t care about his life anymore, he could very well harm Dyon.
However, how could The Seal be on the same level as a crude creation of Dyon’s when he was still a mere meridian formation expert? No. Their difference was akin to heaven and earth.
The Seal was capable of predicting, adapting and changing its methods, all with no harm to Dyon at all.
No matter how much Dyon thought to himself, until he was powerful enough, he wouldn’t figure out what was going on.
Maybe the most heaven defying part was that Dyon would never find anything odd with this, nor would he ever talk to anyone about it either. It could be said that if Evangeline had bad intentions, she could have turned Dyon into an idiot for the rest of his life.
However, it could also be said that had Evangeline not had Dyon’s trust, enough to resonate with his soul, The Seal would have never responded.
The Dragon King laughed at Dyon’s distraught visage. ‘You really are unlucky. In her pseudo dao formation form, she could already match women on the immortal plane. I could only imagine what she would look like after being cleansed by origin qi.’
Dyon shook his head. ‘I get it, I get it. Just explain to me how this works.’
‘This technique is a partnership. The role of the woman is to evoke the 33 seals. These seals represent the heavenly restrictions placed on the three heavenly paths, energy, the body, and the soul.
‘The role of the man is to shatter these seals. With every seal you shatter, you’ll not only gain an increase in cultivation, but also an increase in talent.
‘This woman essentially paved a path to your cultivation. As long as you shatter all 33 seals, you’ll smoothly step into the peak of dao formation. As for entering the half-step transcendent realm, that’s up to you.’
