Reaper of the Martial World

Book 6: Chapter 252: Dima (2)

Dyon frowned. ‘This is an ancestral level technique, so why was shattering the 33^rd seal only enough to bring me to the peak of dao formation?’

‘That’s because this technique is split into 3 portions. There are meant to be 99 seals in total. Unfortunately, the ruin I found only gave me the first two portions.’

‘I see…’ Dyon fell into thought. ‘Didn’t you say I could also use it with multiple women? What happens if I begin cultivating it with someone else?’

‘Only the breaking of the first seal of its kind make a drastic change in you. For example, if you shattering the first of 33 seals for this Evangeline character you’ll experience a heavenly change. However, if you break that very same seal with another woman, you’ll benefit from the energy, but not the heavenly change.’

‘So the change in talent only works the first time, but the energy is consistent?’

‘Yes and no. The energy you receive also takes a dip, but you still receive it. That said, breaking the seal with a different woman would help her, even if you don’t benefit as much.

‘According to my calculations, if you break 33 seals for 9 different women, it would then be enough to step into the half-step transcendent realm smoothly.’

‘What the hell? 33 seals is enough for the peak dao formation realm. But 8 more of the same is needed for that single step?’

‘Did you think that the half transcendent realm was a joke? I only took 300 or so years to step into the dao formation realm in first life. But, I didn’t become a half-step transcendent until I was well over 300 000 years old.’

Dyon involuntarily took in a deep breath when he heard this. Reaching the dao formation realm in 300 years was already heaven defying enough, but for the same individual who did this to take so long to reach the next realm… It was too shocking.

‘You should also note that for every seal you break, the next one become exponentially more difficult to deal with.’

Dyon sighed. ‘It doesn’t matter. I don’t plan on finding 9 women just for the sake of a technique. I’ll reach the half-step transcendent realm on my own.’

Suddenly, the Dragon King began laughing again, causing Dyon’s expression to darken.

‘What is it?’

‘Nothing,’ The Dragon King said through laughs. ‘I just remembered how much dual cultivating it would have taken to evoke all 33 seals. You really missed out kid. I wouldn’t be surprised if it took more than a week of constant attempts, depending on how much effort she put in.

‘Normally, it would take much longer than that, but she must have used the Nine Yang Cloud as a catalyst to speed up the process. Even still, it would have taken a long time.

‘I’m not sure why she did this, but from what I can tell, she wanted to make you cultivation journey smoother.’

Dyon sighed. Even he had to admit that he was very lucky. How the hell did he accumulate so much good karma?

‘How do I break the seals?’

‘It’ll be significantly harder to do without your partner cultivating with you, but I assume she has a reason for not staying by your side. Either way, brute force and strength is the best way. Look at the seals like bottle necks, you can only shatter them when you reach a certain level of strength.

‘However, that strength isn’t just cultivation, it’s about how far above your cultivation you can battle. The stronger you are in comparison to your cultivation level, the easier it is to shatter the seals. So it’s a combination of your base cultivation and your battle power.’

‘My battle power…’ Dyon muttered.

In reality, it seemed like he could battle far above his station, but that wasn’t the case.

When he was a meridian formation expert, the reason he could battle essence gatherers was because his soul had already broken into the saint stage.

Plus, those were essence gatherers of a universe that saw third grade experts as otherworldly geniuses. In addition, the only true genius that Dyon defeated, Saru, turned out to be heavily suppressed because she was battling in a quadrant that wasn’t her own.

Then one might want to mention his battle with Loki and Elder Daiyu. They were far above him, no? That counts as battle power, right?

But that wasn’t the case either. If it wasn’t for his celestial puppet, he would have been caught nearly immediately. Then, if he hadn’t burned his soul, Elder Daiyu would have killed him in a rage. Even further, he didn’t even manage to kill the both of them until he bombed Loki’s body with an abyssal core of death. historical

When Dyon thought through this, he cringed. His battle power really was too pitiful. At this point, he could hardly use even 20% of the potential of his celestial body. The Demon Sage’s blood was talented enough to have him be the equivalent of a first-grade body cultivator, but the reality was that Dyon was more akin to a fourth or fifth.

To make matters worse, because of the seal on him now, he had fallen behind those of his generation in terms of comprehension. His wives were already breaking into the 7^th intent levels, while his best will, death, was still at the 2^nd intent level.

Dyon shook his head. ‘I haven’t even studied any attack or defense-based techniques. I’m useless.’

Although he knew it wasn’t truly his fault, Dyon couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable. That said, he didn’t get a chance to think about it for long because the twins had come back.
