Book 8: Chapter 56: Preparations (2)
Dyon held Ri close to himself. Even if she wanted to leave his arms now, in all likelihood, he would subconsciously stop her. Ri was relying on him to remain calm, but in his mind, it was actually the opposite. If she wasn’t here, calmness definitely wouldn’t have been the reaction he had. And this breakthrough he was experiencing now… It would be nothing more than a pipe dream.
‘Resonate your soul with mine, Little Feu Glace. I’m going to use this teleportation array to open a channel of communication with Amphorae.’
Ri faintly nodded, but remained silent. She was aware that what Dyon was speaking about was likely something only an absolute genius of array alchemy could accomplish. But, she believed in Dyon.
Every teleportation array had heavy concepts of space tied within it. The unfortunate part was that one couldn’t just randomly teleport wherever he wanted as long as he had one. This was why teleportation arrays were linked to one another.
As for how Dyon could use teleportation arrays to boost his speed when he obviously wasn’t linking them together, that was because he wrote in coordinates.
There were two ways to use these coordinates. Either the coordinates are tied to another teleportation array, or they were tied to a random place in space. The benefit of the former is that you can have multiple coordinates at once on a single array. The second benefit is that they’re easier to draw than the latter. This is why Dyon is so limited when he used the latter form.
What Dyon wanted to do was give this array before him a new coordinate. But, he didn’t want to go there, he simply wanted to send an item there. However, in order to find these coordinates, he needed to rely on his soul connection with Amphorae and Zaire.
Dyon thought his soul alone might be enough, but he decided that it was better to be safe than sorry. What he was attempting to do was something that was only vaguely possible in his mind so he took all necessary and unnecessary measures.
He would use the strong spatial abilities of the teleportation arrays to branch out his soul and find the souls that resonated with his own. Then, he would send a soul necklace to Amphorae. Unfortunately, she hadn’t met Clara, so she left before receiving her own.
Dyon knew that what he was about to do would alert numerous powerful individuals. Such a wide sweeping soul search would unnerve them without a doubt. But, at this point, Dyon wanted to burn the world to the ground. If more trouble wanted to come… Come then!
There was good news though. Dyon knew exactly where Amphorae was headed. The Conference was taking place in the universes controlled by the Star Clan. Luckily, these were coordinates Dyon had. If he had to scour the whole of existence, even he wouldn’t be able to do it.
Leaping into a meditation state Dyon’s soul connected with Ri’s and began to pulse. Ri’s soul progressed incredibly quickly while dual cultivating with Dyon, so she was already only a step away from grasping moon qi. Though this fell well short of Dyon, it was unprecedented for those her age.
At that moment, a surge of soul qi erupted around the couple.
Dyon’s mind communicated with the teleportation array. Luckily, his comprehension of planet grade array alchemy had shot upward in recent months.
Almost like a radar signal, Dyon sent his soul qi through the teleportation array, aiming it toward all areas surrounding Star Quadrant.
Sweat began to mat Dyon’s forehead. This method was more stamina draining than he expected, but he grit his teeth and pushed through. Both Amphorae’s and Zaire’s souls should appear like bright beacons of light to him.
As Dyon expected, an uproar swept over the martial world. Numerous individuals in seclusion, many of whom were also headed toward Star Quadrant trembled, trepidation covering their faces.
Because Dyon’s soul had spread so thin, even if his soul was more powerful than many of theirs, he had no way of hiding his presence.
What these people were afraid of wasn’t the strength of Dyon’s soul, but rather how widespread it was. They were all intelligent people. They realized that Dyon was stretching himself thin. But… Just who could withstand spreading their soul qi so far?!
Among these individuals, Diasho Ken’s Uncle’s heart seized the most fiercely. He thought that Evangeline had chosen to pursue him this far. By the time Dyon’s soul left him, his robes were drenched in sweat. He could tell that his father and brother were startled awake as well. Was this sort of thing even possible? Even for a Higher Existence, wasn’t it too exaggerated?
At this moment, Little Lyla and Zaire sat atop a massive, snaking golden dragon. They sat protectively beside Amphorae who had fallen into a deep sleep once again. They had already traveled for more than 5 years together, so they were very much used to Amphorae’s long sleeps. Somehow, even as she slept, she always seemed to become more powerful. In just these 5 years, she improved from the lower 4th dao realm, to the peak 4th dao realm.
There was only a difference of 6 meridians between the two states, but filling 6 meridians with enigmatic qi in just 5 years…. To say it was monstrous was an understatement.
It was in that instant that a wave of soul qi swept over the three of them. At first, Lyla and Zaire trembled, but then they immediately felt a sense of familiarity.
“Big Brother?!” They both called out at once.
But, the only response they received was a flash of light and a necklace that seemingly appeared out of nowhere.
