Dyon gave Saru a weird look, but all he got in response was a smile. In fact, in all his distraction, his precious little girl was swept away by Saru.

"Ah" Dyon raised a finger as Alauna's adorable little figure was snatched from him, but in the end he sighed and put it down.

In truth, it had only been a day and a half since he last saw Little Alauna, but he enjoyed spending time with his daughter. Seeing her taken away by a pastry succubus holding a plate of cake made his chest ache. But he didn't have the heart to snatch Alauna back, her smile was too bright after she took her first bite.

He had clearly lost this round, so he instead focused his attention to his two disciples.

Sensing his gaze, Brahman and Pjisel involuntarily shivered, tears moistening their sad eyes.

Dyon's inner world had expanded to the point where it was difficult for him to see to the end of it. Though it was smaller than Earth before it became The Entity's prison, it was still about the size of a small planet now. The only difference was that it wasn't rounded, but was, instead, flat.

At its center, Dyon's manifestation stood tall, its eyes closed. It seemed to have a life of its own, yet it never tired.

Below its feet, six Primordial Yin surrounded a larger Primordial Yang, bobbing gently and wafting an ancient aura.

Not much had changed in Dyon's inner world aside from its size That is, except for one thing.

The once blue skies were blanketed with two massive pulsing arrays. One was etched with black and white crystals, giving it both a gentle and oppressive presence. The other was a crackling shrine of golden lightning. Every so often, a vicious bolt was descend from its large body, attempting to strike the ground below. But, this seemed to magically cause no damage at all to Dyon's inner world.

After entering the Dao Realm, Dyon's inner world began to manifest some of its core abilities. Though this was true, according to his Grand Teacher, [Inner World: Sanctuary] didn't prove why it was the undisputed greatest cultivation technique ever created until one transcended.

Still, that didn't mean it couldn't display its strength within a mortal. In fact, it already had.

To truly understand the heaven defying nature of Dyon's inner world, one must first understand a True Domain.

Upon entering the celestial realm, one became capable of forming a Pseudo Domain. In this space, depending on the path chosen, one had greater strength and control over their surroundings. However, this strength is incredibly limited and doesn't display shocking power until it evolves into a True Domain.

When Dyon fought the Sapientia Ancestor, because he had grasped a True Domain, Dyon wasn't even capable of controlling the qi within his own body. This was how powerful the comprehension of a True Domain was.

The most mind-numbing part of this was that Oshire's body was too weak for the Sapientia Ancestor to release his True Domain, yet it was still so powerful!

In the end, Dyon was only able to counter this by comprehending Star Qi. The reason this protected him was linked to the basis of Array Alchemy.

One had to remember that Array Alchemy's true purpose was to create. Using its power, one could construct all things, even the living. Even back when Dyon had a mere Master Grade soul, he had already been capable of forming weak life forms like common grade plants.

Star Qi, as the highest level of mortal grade qi, enshrouded Dyon in a protection the Ancestor was no longer capable of budging. Its level of control was too high.

Still, an astute individual would realize the problem here. Even before Dyon battled the Ancestor, many had been shocked when he released his inner world, unable to understand how a mere celestial could form a True Domain.

Since Dyon had a True Domain of his own, and had even released it at that point, how did the Ancestor affect him so profoundly?

The answer was simple. True Domain were separated into several grades of their own and no two were created equal.

When Dyon lost his dao heart to his chaos flames and went to visit The Entity, he saw its world then too The only difference was that The Entity didn't call it a Domain, it called it its Origin Source.

Back then, Dyon had said that The Entity's Origin Source was too complex. It was so complex, in fact, that Dyon could only glance at it for a split of a split second before his mind felt like it was collapsing.

However, these matters are irrelevant for now. What was important was that this True Domain was a root that laid the foundation for the greatest strength a Transcendent could wield. The Origin Source!

And Dyon's inner world? It was the greatest foundation of them all.

[Inner World: Sanctuary] wouldn't gift its users some oppressively overpowered Origin Source. No, instead it allowed one to continuously build and refine one's foundation. Even after Dyon transcended, he would be able to turn back to his roots and add more strength and comprehension to it.

It was akin to gaining the ability to travel to the past and correct every mistake you had ever made.

The benefit of this wasn't obvious now and, there were currently only two looming dao arrays in the skies but in the future, the strength of his inner world would shock the Mortal Plane. And maybe even the Immortal Plane.

...

Dyon smiled lightly as his projection stood in his inner world. After collecting his thoughts, he moved forward toward his destination, soon reaching a small part of his world where he happened to house prisoners.

'This world is really nothing but endless green grass I should do something about that, it doesn't feel right like this.'

Other than the Pulse Trees and the Heaven's Selfless Breath tea leaves Dyon planted from the Golden Flame Mystical World, there really was nothing but endless green grass here. He felt like he was missing a great opportunity.
