Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God

Chapter 1070 Interrogation

Normally, a manifestation needed to be awakened using the specified technique. However, when Dyon first saw the technique's booklet, he was shocked when he saw that it was written by an RR Sapientia.

Why? Obviously because manifestations existed for as long as time became an entrenched concept. Wasn't it impossible for the Sapientia family to have existed since the dawn of time? So how could a member of their family be the originator of the technique?

The answer was obvious, there were an innumerable number of methods for awakening one's manifestation and that particular book was only a single method.

It seemed that the Soul Tome cleansing effect also had a secondary side-effect. By cleansing the soul, it also became clearer to its owner, thus making communicating with one's manifestation far easier. In fact, it became so easy that Donari awakened it instinctually.

One had to remember that often times, the more powerful a manifestation was, the longer it took to awaken. At the same time, the more talented you were in the soul path, the shorter that awakening time was.

It was an odd push and pull the universe put in place that resulted in a myriad of different results.

For example, Ri's father took centuries to awaken his manifestation, proving how powerful it was. But, it wasn't as though he was untalented, or else he wouldn't be so powerful.

At the same time, Dyon's manifestation could be said to be the strongest in existence. The cumulated talent of billions also meant the manifestation of millions. This was why his weapon's pagoda could produce any weapon in existence. Yet, Dyon only had to meditate for a moment to awaken his manifestation and cause an uproar in the Elvin Kingdom.

In this case, Dyon's talent was so overwhelming that it completely disregarded the power of his manifestation.

However, not everyone was like Dyon. For example, those Lower Blossom innate stage soul talents only numbered a few thousand out of the tens of millions of soul slaves there were.

Of course, every one of them had awakened their manifestation, but it took them hundreds of years, just like Ri's father.

As Dyon knew, only those with innate auroras who also awakened their manifestations could enter the 3rd tier of soul talent. Could it be that the number of innate aurora wielders was a mere few thousand out of all of those talents? Dyon didn't believe it.

If he used the Soul Tome to cleanse the souls of those 2nd tier talents, he believed that he might find a few gems.

And, even in the case that he didn't, it was still drastically cut down the time it would take to awaken their manifestations.

Dyon realized a long time ago that the key to Soul cultivators gaining the ability to match their battle power to the soul strength were their manifestations. As long as they could tease out the secrets of their manifestations, Dyon didn't believe that those of the soul path would be so easy to bully.

The trouble was that a manifestation was like an un-travelled trail… Unique manifestations had no user's manual, often leading to them being a path left untravelled. This was why Dyon's dual manifestation was looked down upon at the beginning because one manifestation was trouble enough.

However, the soul tome might be the key to solving this issue. If they could increase their connection with their manifestations, it would be easier to learn its secrets!

As Dyon was basking in this pleasant surprise, Donari was laughing like a maniac, even to the point where he started executing fighting arts in the sky, punching and kicking the air as though he had lost his mind.

But, the more Dyon observed Donari's moves, the less laughter was left in his eyes. Instead, they began to shine with an odd light as he stealthily covered Donari in his divine sense.

The more time passed, the more shocked Dyon became.

BOOM!

Donari's laughter grew as he roared into the skies. "11th Essence Gathering Stage! And here I thought I would have to directly break into sainthood from here! Dyon! Thank you!"

Dyon smiled. But, inwardly, he was shocked by what he noticed.

Donari's manifestation was a beating heart, it seemed very odd at first, but after seeing its use, even Dyon was a little jealous.

The faster Donari forced his heart to beat, the clearer the world around him became. His increased blood flow not only acted as a buff to his power, but also as a catalyst for processing energy, which was the true underlying secret of his manifestation.

Essentially, his body's capacity for energy increased, as did his ability to easily convert and accept that energy into his meridians. Plus, there was also the clear boost to his murderous intent.

To have a manifestation that could not only increase your prowess in battle, but also increase your cultivation speed, what more could a martial warrior ask for?

This didn't even mention the fact that Donari could now fully utilize his constitution. Despite already being 87 years old, Donari's future had drastically brightened. It was almost guaranteed that he'd reach the legendary 12th essence gathering stage, and after that? The sky was the limit!

Those below weren't stupid. Even if they couldn't see the intricate secrets of Donari's manifestation like Dyon could, even a toddler could connect his soul healing to his increase in cultivation. The results were even better than what Dyon had anticipated.

One had to remember that the stigma on the soul path didn't begin with Soul Market, it was just that The Cathedral took advantage of the stigma to make money.

Originally, the Soul Rend Quadrant fell from glory because of a war between the Energy Path and the Soul Path. If Dyon's guess was correct, the remnants of the that Energy Path were likely the rulers of the remaining 99 universes. They likely hadn't dared to make a final move on Universe Cathedral because of all the final life saving measures Soul Rending Peak had.

What did this all mean? It meant that the stigma against the soul path had been festering for thousands of years, not just a few hundred. Even the current head of the Caedes family was born into this time. It was all he had known since his youth.

Except for the Jafari family who managed to ignore these conventions, it was something everyone else followed very closely. In the end, it was the only way to protect themselves.

In order to dig this tumor out, they needed tangible examples. Dyon was already one because everyone was clear on how powerful his soul was. After all, the goal of him spending almost an hour spreading a concealment array wasn't just to conceal, it was also as a showing of power.

Now, Donari could act as a second example.

"Alright, alright." Dyon waved his hand. "Go back down now."

Donari laughed uproariously, giving Dyon a massive bear hug before going down to comfort his mother.

A weird light flashed in Dyon's eyes when he saw Donari's mother. Even he couldn't put his finger on exactly what had triggered his weird reaction, but in the end, he let it be.

"Elder Nova, Elder Ricci, do you two mind coming up here?"

Elder Nova wasn't too surprised by Dyon calling on him, after all, he was an elder who had a good relationship with Dyon. But Elder Ricci? Who was that?

Many were confused until the saw a pale faced middle aged man stand. It was actually Violet's father!

No one knew this former Master's name because he hid it well. Not wanting his enemies of the 74th quadrant to know where he was, he abandoned his real name, Marco Ricci, to simply go by "Master".

Seeing the two men, one quite old and the other middle aged, hover in front of him, Dyon's expression once more became serious.

"Currently," Dyon began, "Aside from myself, the two of you are the strongest experts of this universe. However, it's because of this that I'm skeptical."

Dyon's gaze swept over the two men.

Others below were shocked. Wasn't Dyon good friends with the old man from Unseen Peak? Why did it seem like he was interrogating him now?

However, Dyon's expression remained staunch. "The two of you are too powerful to have grown up here. So you tell me, how did you become so powerful?"

Elder Ricci and Nova looked at each other before looking back toward Dyon. It was indeed odd that they were so powerful.
