Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God

Dyon frowned. 'My inner world?'
Truth be told, Dyon fell out of the habit of checking it everyday because its progress was so depressingly slow. Plus, there was nothing to see. It was just a hundred or so square meters of dirt. That was only a ten to twenty-meter span of land, why would Dyon pay too much attention to it?
Dyon sat down in meditation. Without his soul, checking on his inner world was difficult. He had to absolutely focused and tune his senses to the max.
Pulling things in and out of the world was easy, like he had with the tower. But checking on it was a different matter entirely. The only time it was easy for him these days was when he was in the process of a breakthrough and the world emitted its presence outside of the shackles that held it down.
As of now, looking into his inner world was akin to a mortal sitting in a sound proof room, listening for his heart beat. After enough time passed, your senses would adjust and it would even be possible to hear the blood rushing through your veins and arteries. After another undisclosed amount of time, it would even be possible to hear the valves of your heart opening and closing.In this same way, the calmer and more focused Dyon became, his inner world would become clearer and clearer to him.
Slowly, time crawled as Dyon focused. At the same time, the twins were scurrying around the compounds.
Their speed was absolutely blinding. Without the restriction of space, a normal human couldn't comprehend their speed. Anyone with a basic understanding of physics knew that speed was a function of distance and time. However, distance just described space in one dimension. Imagine if a living being could ignore distance and manipulate time at will. What level of speed do you think such a being would reach?
The only thing that kept the twins' speed within the realm of reason was the fact they had to scout out a place that was restricted by space. If they were instead running away, their speed would be even more inconceivable.
By the time Dyon focused his senses enough to vaguely feel his inner world, about 10 minutes had passed.
The world itself was still as bland. Other than hills and the vague beginning of what must be the shortest mountains in existence, there wasn't much else.
Dyon manifestation floated in the air, in a deep hibernation. Its three pairs of golden wings wrapped around itself as 6 halos of light each representing its own power hovered behind it.At its feet sat Dyon's primordial yang, while it was in turn surrounded by 6 primordial yins: Madeleine's, Ri's, Kukan's, Amythest's, Amphorae's and Clara's.
Just as Dyon had anticipated, Luna's primordial yin wasn't there which made him feel a piercing pain in his chest. He wasn't sure if it was because Luna had given her virginity to someone else, or because he hadn't been worthy enough to earn her primordial yin's recognition.
Dyon's focus wavered, causing his view of his inner world to blur uncontrollably. In the end, he had no choice but to bite his cheeks and start all over again.
It took longer to refocus himself the second time, but he eventually did so. This time, he wasn't so rattled by not seeing Luna's primordial yin and instead focused elsewhere.
As the picture grew clearer, Dyon's heart suddenly palpitated again.
Before, the view had been to vague, but now he could see seals floating around within his primordial yang.
They were almost like small golden creatures. Sometimes they'd look like immortal phoenixes, with majestic wings and beautifully sculpted feathers. At other times they'd look like domineering Dragons, roaring within the space and standing above the skies like an Emperor of the world.
The images flipped back and forth, and would even sometimes revert to their original seal form, swimming with complex arrays and components of a level that hurt Dyon's brain to think about.
'What the hell is this…' Dyon was absolutely certain that he had never seen this before. In addition, this wasn't a result of the Nine Cloud Yang either, or else Dyon would be aware of it.
The second oddity was that Dyon had never heard of anything capable of making changes to a primordial yang. The seal were clearly artificial, Dyon couldn't comprehend anything strong enough to seal him.
'Could it be that Evangeline's intentions were sinister?' Dyon frowned. He couldn't think of any other reason to seal his primordial yang.
Of course it crossed his mind that Evangeline might have dual cultivated with him and sealed off the power piece by piece so he wouldn't explode. That explanation could explain many things. The problem was that he had never heard of something or someone capable of doing that. Even a star level seal shouldn't have such an ability.
Plus, it still didn't make sense for Evangeline to dual cultivate with him. A woman of her stature would never do such a thing.
Another possibility was just that she was impressed with Dyon's potential and wanted to bind him now so that she could use him as a slave in the future when he was powerful enough to help her. That made much more sense than anything else…
Just as Dyon was racking his brain, the Dragon King suddenly spoke. 'How the hell does she know this technique?...'
Dyon blinked. 'What technique?'
'You're in luck kid. How you got such a powerful woman to fall for you is beyond me. The heavens should strike you down.'
Dyon's frown deepened. 'Stop beating around the bush old lizard.'
'The only techniques capable of effecting change in a primordial yang like this have long since left the mortal plane.
'Those seals are known as the 33 Dragon-Phoenix Seals. They're detailed in the very same Peak Ancestral Level Dual Cultivation Technique you keep turning your nose at.'
'Ah…' Dyon didn't know what to say. In the few moments he had to spend with his wives, he didn't want to turn their time of intimacy into a power grab, so he never paid attention to the Dragon King's technique.
But now the old lizard was telling him Evangeline had used it on him?
'The Dragon and Phoenix represent Sovereignty and Life, Death and Reincarnation respectively. However, they have also been the representation of man and woman for a very long time as well.
'[The Heavens Seal the Dragon and Phoenix] is a Peak Ancestral Level Dual Cultivation Technique. The 33rd Seal is the peak-most level of the technique. When that level is reached, the man and woman would transform, becoming as favored as beasts by the heavens, having the advantage of both beasts and humans without the restrictions of either.'
'But… I've never practiced this technique. How could I have even one seal, let alone the full 33?'
'Isn't that obvious? That woman obviously dual cultivated with you while you slept.'
Dyon didn't want to believe it. Firstly, he felt as though he had betrayed his wives. Secondly, even if he was forced to betray them, he had slept through dual cultivating with a half-step transcendent with beauty great enough to stop his heart from beating? Wasn't this the worst joke in the world? What the hell did he do to deserve this?
Dyon shook his head, that wasn't even the most important part. The Dragon King got this technique after risking his life on the immortal plane. In fact, he was still on the run because of this very same technique. So, how the hell did Evangeline get a hole of it?
With Dyon's intelligence, he should have figured all of this already. The Celestial Hamsters commenting on time will? A woman showing up who had some unknown affection for him? That same woman having access to a technique that only Dyon had access to on the mortal plane? If he couldn't figure out at least a portion of the truth, his supposed 'intelligence' meant nothing.
However, the reason Dyon seemed to be going around in circles was because Evangeline gave him one final help, for the sake of saving his life.
When Dyon almost died due to burning his soul, it was Clara who resonated with his soul to unlock the thing he kept hidden within The Seal. This time, yet another one of his women saved him by doing the very same thing.
