When Dyon was reading on body cultivation and energy cultivation, he was hard-pressed to understand the difference between them. This was because energy cultivation begins with body refinement, and the body must get stronger in order to accommodate higher level energies as your cultivation improves.
But, if you need to improve your body to cultivate energy, then where is the line of difference between body and energy cultivation? It just seemed as though everything was connected to the point where understanding was impossible.
And if that didn’t make matters bad enough, you also had to include soul cultivation in the mix, while also taking into account that you need a stronger body to accommodate a stronger soul.
However, after reading so many books, Dyon had begun to piece together what was actually going on. Energy and Soul cultivation use the body as a container, diverting energy from themselves to strengthen the body. What this unfortunately results in is a relatively weakened state of the resultant soul or energy cultivation.
Dyon had come to this understanding when his master fused the two drops of essence blood with him. Although he was nowhere near accumulating 100%, his body’s power had improved significantly. This lead to his soul power increasing along with it. Which meant his soul had finally stopped diverting its power.
Originally, Dyon had assumed this increase in soul strength was due to a tempering of his will. For example, after his near death at the hands of Darius, his soul strength had increased, so Dyon couldn’t help but link the two. However, that was a symptom and not the cause.
The truth was that Dyon’s innate soul strength had already far surpassed any normal human’s who had not soul cultivated, because of his innate aurora. However, that soul strength was boxed in and unable to fully manifest itself. Feeling its life in peril, the soul had no choice but to give up some of its energy to power Dyon’s body so that it could expand.
When Dyon had powered up his body via external means, his soul was finally able to take back what it had spent and manifest its peak Middle Blossoming level. This may not seem like much, but it’s near impossible to find someone with an innate soul strength of the first stage as the innate level of most wouldn’t be comparable to a low-level foundation stage fighter.
In fact, only clans that specialize in soul type techniques such as the Ragnor auxiliary clan: Saeclum, would have a small percentage of geniuses who reached this level before even cultivating. The fact Dyon had an innate soul strength at this level, which would be comparable to a mid level meridian formation expert, was unprecedented in the history of the Martial World.
But, now that Dyon’s innate soul strength had manifested to its full abilities, Dyon would need a soul cultivation technique to improve it. Before, he had assumed it would just continue strengthening, but he then found out that for it to strengthen any more without consciously cultivating it, he would have to first reach that level in energy cultivation before his soul improved any more.
Dyon obviously didn’t like the idea of slowing his cultivation down like that because there was no benefit to it unlike with energy cultivation.
For soul cultivation, Dyon wasn’t too worried. What technique could be better than an ancient god sect’s that specialized in the soul due to their mastery in array alchemy?
In addition, unlike energy and body cultivation, soul cultivating only had a single method: masochism. Soul cultivating required heart rending pain. To improve, the soul needed to be constantly torn apart and mended. They were only separated by the levels of pain you were willing to endure: common, earth, heaven and divine.
In a sick twist of fate, the best technique also required the most pain. The reason being that only the best techniques can completely tear the soul into its most minute bits which would result in not only a purer, but also a tougher and stronger soul.
Dyon, not wanting to do anything by half measures, had chosen the divine soul cultivating technique: Celestial Deer’s Rend.
The issue, though, wasn’t his soul cultivation, it was separating his body and energy cultivating. Energy cultivation techniques were as plentiful as the stars in the sky, but the issue was that there were so many paths to take, and yet, none of those paths seemed perfect, even among the cultivation techniques of the ancient god clan.
As for body cultivation, the Celestial Deer Sect had only a few, and they were all subpar. None were above the earth level which made Dyon feel a bit bitter, but he had to accept it. Not only were those who understood the deviations between energy and body rare, the ones willing to deviate time into forming good techniques for the body were even fewer.
There was nothing Dyon could do about energy cultivation for now. He still had time before his 18th birthday, so he planned on finding as many energy cultivation techniques as he could, and maybe one would be perfect for him.
Although he hadn’t found the perfect technique for him, he had found a technique perfectly tailored to Madeleine’s Goddess’ Disposition. It wasn’t a surprise that a celestial clan would have a technique perfect for the purity of Madeleine’s constitution.
It was called: Celestial Goddess’ Will. It was also part of the reason Dyon wanted Madeleine to personally understand Celestial Will, because the technique required the meridians and body to be tempered with celestial will. With Madeleine’s compatibility with it, it was without a doubt a peak level Divine technique.
By adding a few divine level martial techniques to the mix, Dyon would be confident in leaving Madeleine so she could grow on her own while he explored the world. He would miss her, but he knew that this would benefit them both greatly. Madeleine would affirm her place in the Sapientia God Clan and Dyon would make the Celestial Deer Clan’s name ring through the continent.
