Chapter 910: Duna's Parting Gift

Sometime later, Leon and Aria left the palace and made their way back to Barrenrock Courtyard, which Leon owned.

On the way, Aria turned to Leon and asked curiously, "What cultivation methods did you teach your parents?"

"I taught them the G.o.dfiend Body Forging Method and the Heavenly Yin Revolving Dark Arts," Leon replied.

"The G.o.dfiend Body Forging Method? Isn't that what you teach everyone else? Is that alright with you? There should have better methods, right?" Aria asked.

"There are," Leon affirmed with a nod before he continued, "However, the better methods are more specialized. It might conflict with the Heavenly Yin Revolving Dark Arts."

After hearing Leon's explanation, Aria quickly understood.

The G.o.dfiend Body Forging Method was only supplementary cultivation to strengthen his adoptive parents' foundation.

Their main focus was the Heavenly Yin Revolving Dark Arts.

"The Heavenly Yin Revolving Dark Arts This cultivation technique sounds like a demon cultivation technique. Is it fine to teach them something like this? If we bring them back to the Divine Realm" Aria mentioned her concern.

However, Leon shook his head.

"They already started cultivating dark energy by the Divine Demon Tree. Not to mention them, any warrior in the Infertile Plains would be regarded as a heretic for cultivating dark energy," Leon stated.

"However, the day we return to the Divine Realm, I will destroy this discrimination against dark energy and create a haven for everyone to live, regardless of what they cultivate. Of course, there's another reason why I chose the Heavenly Yin Revolving Dark Arts for my parents."

Helen and Brian were once disciples of the Illusory b.u.t.terfly Sect.

Even if they abolished their cultivation, the remnant yin poison hidden in their body could pose a potential danger to their life.

After they started cultivating dark energy, a different energy source, there was no telling what hidden risks and problems his adoptive parents' bodies may have.

Thus, the Heavenly Yin Revolving Dark Arts were the best solution. It was a cultivation technique that harmonized dark and yin energy to produce a stronger power.

The technique was created by the Dark Yin Heavenly Devil, a being that stood on even grounds with the Heavenly G.o.ds.

After Leon explained that to Aria, she felt like Leon made the best choice for his adoptive parents.

Rather than simply removing the hidden danger from Helen and Brian's bodies, Leon gave them a cultivation technique that could make use of it instead.

It was like transforming a disaster into a blessing.

After returning to Barrenrock Courtyard, Leon and Aria spotted Darlene sitting by the stone table, catching up with the six maids.

Darlene sensed their gazes before turning her head and acknowledging their presence with a nod. Then, she prepared to head over personally and greet them.

However, Leon shook his head and gestured for her to stay where she was and continue catching up with her sisters.

He did not want to interrupt them.

"I'll be in my room if you need me," Aria took her cue to leave after Leon fixed his gaze on Duna's room. He smiled warmly after her understanding and nodded.

Shortly after, he adjusted his mental state and strolled into Duna's room.

Duna sat on the bed with her eyes closed while waiting for Leon inside the room. The moment Leon entered the room, her eyes snapped open. Her eyes flickered, and the doors shut tight behind Leon in the next instant.

"What do you want to say to me before leaving?"

"Let's talk in my spiritual world."

Leon's eyes flickered after hearing Duna's statement, vaguely understanding her intention. Yet, at the same time, he did not understand due to her indifferent expression.

Nevertheless, he nodded in agreement.

He took a spot on the bed and lay down with Duna. Then, he performed Soul Dive and sent his spiritual avatar into Duna's spiritual world.

Inside Duna's spiritual world, Leon immediately noticed the world had undergone a startling transformation compared to the last time he visited.

The land was no longer flouris.h.i.+ng with greenery and fertile land. Instead, it didn't look much different to the demon's territory.

The land was barren with ruined cities while dark clouds loomed over the crimson sky. Purplish-red lightning streaked across the heavens as the crackling thunder resounded furiously throughout the spiritual world.

The place seemed time eroded and full of destruction, death, and darkness wherever Leon looked.

'Is this the result of Duna's laws reaching a high level? Or' Leon studied the spiritual world with a pondering look.

However, Duna suddenly pounced him and brought him down to the ground. The disappearance of their clothes and a steamy dual cultivation session followed afterward.

Half a day later, Leon and Duna lay on the barren land with their bodies intertwined in the spiritual world.

Although Leon knew Duna enjoyed the experience, he felt strange that her expression remained indifferent throughout the dual cultivation.

It was as if she had lost the ability to express her emotions.

"Is this all you wanted to do before leaving?" Leon softly asked.

"Yeah," Duna calmly nodded and said, "As you are now, there shouldn't be anything in the Infertile Plains that can pose a threat to you. However, I want to leave behind some a.s.surance."

As Leon suspected, Duna wanted to dual cultivate in the spiritual world to gift him the fruits of her law comprehension.

However, he wondered if she would gain anything from him as well.

"Must you leave?" Leon softly asked.

"Don't persuade me to stay. You are tied down by responsibilities; there are things you must do. But, there are things I must do too. Thus, we must part ways," Duna stated indifferently.

Although Duna didn't express herself well, Leon vaguely felt like she was trying to say that she would explore the world in his stead while he settled his matters.

Nevertheless, Leon didn't want to hold Duna back either selfishly. Thus, he had no choice but to let her go.

"I understand," Leon uttered.

Duna was a strong and independent woman. She was more than capable of protecting herself while out looking for opportunities.

When Leon returned to the real world, Duna had already disappeared without a word.

Although he felt disappointed, he understood that he couldn't be with everyone all the time. They all had things to do too.

'Let's see what I improved' Leon focused on himself.
