Chapter 1582 Choke

Dyon proceeded to explain everything to Junior. He already felt like he was talking more to a brother than a son, it made it feel much more comfortable this way. Now, he didn't feel the need to avoid Junior like he had been doing before.

"I've heard it calling out to me, but Granny Celest said I wasn't ready to see it yet." Junior said. "She also told me that it was the center of this world, so if I took it away, the world would collapse."

Dyon seemed to have confirmed his theory with these words. The Life Stone really did have something to do with death. But, there were a few other odd things.

Madeleine had Ice Phoenix blood running through her veins. By all rights, if the Life Stone was truly about life as well, then it should have called out to Madeleine too, no? A treasure of 33 heavens always sought out the best master. Who could be a better master to it that the embodiment of life on the mortal plane?

This made Dyon believe that maybe the abilities of the Life Stone weren't so balanced after all. Or maybe there was some other reason he was unaware of.

"But." Junior said after thinking some more. "If what you said about the pa.s.sive and active abilities is true, then it can't the life stone's fault that all of this is happening. There are two possibilities.

"Either you're right and the life stone is uninvolved. Or, you're only partly correct."

"Partly correct?"

"Yes. If you're right and the pa.s.sive ability is known, then it can't be the life stone. That's because that would mean that the active ability was what was causing the problems. But, since I haven't even seen the life stone, let alone taken the control of it, how could I trigger its active ability? Let alone the fact I don't have any cultivation.

"But, there's also the possibility that you're only partially correct. Maybe in addition to the fact we don't know the active ability, we only partially understand the pa.s.sive ability. If that's the case, maybe this phenomenon is also part of the pa.s.sive ability and we just have no way of knowing.

"Of course, there's the third possibility that none of this has to do with the life stone at all."

In the end, Dyon could only ignore it for now.

After he left Junior with Delia once more, he went to view the phenomenon himself, but he didn't get very far.

He punched the ground and watched as the wisps of death came up. In fact, he even absorbed a few and felt his death will creep forward in comprehension, something that was incredibly rare considering Dyon had already formed a half-step dao.

'This death qi is incredibly pure. Purer than anything I've ever come across. But, it's also incredibly weak. The best way to describe it is as an incredibly refined path of death will, one that stands among the best paths to take, but of a low level Not higher than a third level will'

Dyon was slightly embarra.s.sed. He had a 9th level intent, but a mere 3rd level will actually improved his comprehension.

But, there was something even more pressing about this. Dyon had gained his will comprehension by sacrificing his lifespan. Back then, Dyon had sacrificed thousands of years for the perfect comprehension. Technically, it should be impossible for any comprehension to be better than his a.s.suming it was at or below his comprehension level. Meaning, no will below the 1st dao level should be able to help him improve his comprehension.

However, something that refuted that truth was right before him. This death will was an even higher order than the death qi he gained sacrificing his life force

'How depressing Just what is this thing?...'

"Little Yin, thank you." Dyon held the palm sized celestial hamster in his hand, gently scratching her small head.

Little Yin giggled, accepting the high-cla.s.s treatment as she stuck her tongue outward to tease her brother.

'I can't believe she awakened her bloodline before me, there's no justice in the world.' Little Yang pretended like he didn't care on the surface, but it was really getting to him that his little sister beat him to the punch.

It likely wouldn't be more than a few years until he awakened his own. Since they were twins, Little Yang could benefit from his little sister's experience. But he would never live this one down.

Dyon smiled. He probably looked weird to others, patting what seemed like air. But he didn't care at this moment as he walked through the skies of Planet Soul. He couldn't thank Little Yin enough. He had originally only sent her so that he'd have a way to communicate with Clara and also so that she wouldn't feel lonely and helpless, but who knew it would have such great benefits?

'Hm?...' Dyon's head turned in a particular direction.

The clas.h.i.+ng strikes of an intense battle caught his attention, but it wasn't Aoife and Stella. In fact, it was occurring outside the bounds of Planet Soul itself, several ten thousand miles out of the Planet's atmosphere.

'Interesting.' Dyon smiled, disappearing to appear with the darkness of s.p.a.ce only to find a red haired beauty beating back a violet haired one.

Glorianice wiped blood from the corner of her lip as she was sent flying, while Amphorae, other than a slightly laborious breathing pattern, seemed perfectly fine.

Suddenly, the sound of clapping caught the attention of both women. But while Amphorae's eyes sparkled with a hidden smile, Glorianice blushed with shame.

It didn't take a genius to figure out what happened. Amphorae might be battle crazed, but she wasn't the type of individual to pick a fight with anyone she saw. It was definitely Glorianice that called for this battle which only made her loss more embarra.s.sing.

"Lord Husband."

Glorianice choked on her own spit. "What did you just say?"
