Book 10: Chapter 124: Bring (3)

Countless light years away, the sound of shattering jade resounded in a quiet room hidden beneath a grand expansive palace.The room itself was quite minimalistic in comparison to the grandeur that stood atop its ceilings.It was carved of bland grey stone and filled with shelves that were made of the very same material.Still, this room was of utmost importance. It housed the lifelines of the most important individuals of this Clan. Outstanding geniuses, pillar elders of unquestionable strength, and most importantly… The Royal Family Line!Within the depths of this room, an elder sat in quiet meditation, his attire equally as bland grey.In not even an instant, his golden eyes flashed opened, piercing outward like orbs of fiery light.“Oshire…” He mumbled to himself.With his position within the Sapientia, he knew well how sensitive Oshire’s mission was. But, he was also aware of how equally impossible it should have been for Oshire to die.As a member of the Royal Family, Oshire was most definitely outfitted with a Life Saving Jade. Yet, it actually hadn’t activated. Only someone who had reached the extremes of the soul path could accomplish such a thing… In fact, even with this elder’s status, he wasn’t aware of a single person who capable of such a feat!To make matters worse, with Oshire’s level of Faith, who could have killed him in that paltry quadrant? Even with his weak cultivation, with that level of support, he should have been undefeatable.It wasn’t as though they couldn’t have sent someone more powerful, but the Sapientia’s deduction skills decided that this was an inappropriate action. Oshire’s weak strength would allow him to better lay low, and for many years, it had clearly worked.Or maybe… It was inappropriate to think this way. Since he was now dead, it meant the plan had failed when it mattered the absolute most!It was when the elder reached this thought that the Mortal Plane began to quake violently.Even with Oshire’s death, his expression had barely changed to a slight frown. But when this quaking began, he abruptly stood up in shock, sensing the changes around him with an incredulous expression.He could feel that this wasn’t a planetary trembling. It wasn’t the earth beneath his feet that was shaking, but rather the very fabric of existence itself. This change filled him with so much fear that after he stood he was immediately frozen in place, unable to will himself to move.His figure flashed. This was most definitely a matter that had to be discussed immediately. Whether it was Oshire or this abrupt change. Maybe the latter was even more important than the former…Such a commotion… Maybe only the descent of the Ancient Battlefield could match it, right? Just what was happening?!**Under this sudden change, Dyon could no longer suppress his injuries and directly spat out several mouthfuls of blood.Alauna’s expression changed, wanting to go toward her father, but a fairy-like lady suddenly appeared to her side, holding her back.“Mom…? But dad!” Alauna’s expression turned to surprised before she snapped her attention back toward Dyon.“The space around him is incredibly volatile right now. He’s snatching qi control even from me. It’s very possible that you could lose your life if you approach too closely.”Alauna’s expression changed.She had witnessed the awakening of an undefeatable spirit before. In fact, it was her very own that she had experienced to begin with. For Alauna, this feat hadn’t been difficult at all. It wasn’t long after she entered the dao realm that she broke through.“You don’t understand…” Luna said softly. “… The undefeatable spirit isn’t a separate entity, it’s the evolution of one’s own Dao Heart. The knowledge of this Era is simply too superficial.”“Mother…?” Alauna’s confusion deepened.Luna sighed. “You still don’t know this, but your father is actually the reincarnation of my husband of countless generations ago. We met not in this Mortal Era, but in the Primordial Era.”Alauna’s eyes widened. She really had never known this. The past of her mother and father was hidden from her by the both of them. She had just assumed they had some difficulties they couldn’t expound, so she obediently didn’t ask.But for Luna to actually live so long… Even Heaven’s Children weren’t truly Immortal. There would come a day where they would silently pass away and fuse with the Heavens once more. But, Luna had actually lived for so long!“This is all to say that your mother has some knowledge many don’t…“When one begins to cultivate, a preliminary Dao Heart is formed. However, this is only a fleshling state. It’s incredibly fragile and can only count as a seed. The way in which this seed grows is what’s decided by individual martial artists.“This realm is known as the Dao Seed Realm.“As one progresses, it becomes possible to form the true state of a Dao Heart. Of these, there are nine Supreme Dao Hearts that have withstood the test of time and are acknowledge as the very best.“This realm is known as the Dao Awakening Realm.“You might have already expected this, but the next state is actually this so-called undefeatable spirit realm. Though its name is fanciful and grandiose, its true ability isn’t so enigmatic. With an undefeatable spirit, one is able to maintain a calm state of mind and their peak condition while in battle. No matter the odds the face, they can pull this off. So, this undefeatable title is actually symbolic of a sort of self-assessment. One would never lose to one’s self in this realm.“This realm’s true name is the Dao Liberation Realm.“However, for whatever reason, your father seems to be able to enter the Dao Liberation State with absolute ease. He never struggled to do so even when he only had a mere Dao Seed. I’ve witnessed him do this many times before, and it wasn’t until I learned these things that I realized how shocking it was.“Your father is capable of using his own will power to accomplish a feat usually only the Heavens can aid one in accomplishing.“Now that he’s truly reached the Grand Perfection State of the Dao Awakening Realm… I really don’t know what kind of changes this will bring…”
