Evangeline resonated with Dyon, connecting with The Seal to seal off the flow of Dyon's thought process. The moment he came close to an answer, before he was strong enough to handle the backlash, he would fall into a state of confusion, causing him to go back to square one.

Dyon wasn't new to using arrays to manipulate the thoughts of others. For example, when he placed a contract seal of Alidor, Alidor was then forced to do everything for the sake of Dyon. However, that method was very crude.

Alidor only followed the laws of the contract seal because not doing so would result in the loss of his life. If Alidor decided he didn't care about his life anymore, he could very well harm Dyon.

However, how could The Seal be on the same level as a crude creation of Dyon's when he was still a mere meridian formation expert? No. Their difference was akin to heaven and earth.

The Seal was capable of predicting, adapting and changing its methods, all with no harm to Dyon at all.

No matter how much Dyon thought to himself, until he was powerful enough, he wouldn't figure out what was going on.

Maybe the most heaven defying part was that Dyon would never find anything odd with this, nor would he ever talk to anyone about it either. It could be said that if Evangeline had bad intentions, she could have turned Dyon into an idiot for the rest of his life.

However, it could also be said that had Evangeline not had Dyon's trust, enough to resonate with his soul, The Seal would have never responded.

The Dragon King laughed at Dyon's distraught visage. 'You really are unlucky. In her pseudo dao formation form, she could already match women on the immortal plane. I could only imagine what she would look like after being cleansed by origin qi.'

Dyon shook his head. 'I get it, I get it. Just explain to me how this works.'

'This technique is a partnership. The role of the woman is to evoke the 33 seals. These seals represent the heavenly restrictions placed on the three heavenly paths, energy, the body, and the soul.

'The role of the man is to shatter these seals. With every seal you shatter, you'll not only gain an increase in cultivation, but also an increase in talent.

'This woman essentially paved a path to your cultivation. As long as you shatter all 33 seals, you'll smoothly step into the peak of dao formation. As for entering the half-step transcendent realm, that's up to you.'

Dyon frowned. 'This is an ancestral level technique, so why was shattering the 33rd seal only enough to bring me to the peak of dao formation?'

'That's because this technique is split into 3 portions. There are meant to be 99 seals in total. Unfortunately, the ruin I found only gave me the first two portions.'

'I see…' Dyon fell into thought. 'Didn't you say I could also use it with multiple women? What happens if I begin cultivating it with someone else?'

'Only the breaking of the first seal of its kind make a drastic change in you. For example, if you shattering the first of 33 seals for this Evangeline character you'll experience a heavenly change. However, if you break that very same seal with another woman, you'll benefit from the energy, but not the heavenly change.'

'So the change in talent only works the first time, but the energy is consistent?'

'Yes and no. The energy you receive also takes a dip, but you still receive it. That said, breaking the seal with a different woman would help her, even if you don't benefit as much.

'According to my calculations, if you break 33 seals for 9 different women, it would then be enough to step into the half-step transcendent realm smoothly.'

'What the hell? 33 seals is enough for the peak dao formation realm. But 8 more of the same is needed for that single step?'

'Did you think that the half transcendent realm was a joke? I only took 300 or so years to step into the dao formation realm in first life. But, I didn't become a half-step transcendent until I was well over 300 000 years old.'

Dyon involuntarily took in a deep breath when he heard this. Reaching the dao formation realm in 300 years was already heaven defying enough, but for the same individual who did this to take so long to reach the next realm… It was too shocking.

'You should also note that for every seal you break, the next one become exponentially more difficult to deal with.'

Dyon sighed. 'It doesn't matter. I don't plan on finding 9 women just for the sake of a technique. I'll reach the half-step transcendent realm on my own.'

Suddenly, the Dragon King began laughing again, causing Dyon's expression to darken.

'What is it?'

'Nothing,' The Dragon King said through laughs. 'I just remembered how much dual cultivating it would have taken to evoke all 33 seals. You really missed out kid. I wouldn't be surprised if it took more than a week of constant attempts, depending on how much effort she put in.

'Normally, it would take much longer than that, but she must have used the Nine Yang Cloud as a catalyst to speed up the process. Even still, it would have taken a long time.

'I'm not sure why she did this, but from what I can tell, she wanted to make you cultivation journey smoother.'

Dyon sighed. Even he had to admit that he was very lucky. How the hell did he accumulate so much good karma?

'How do I break the seals?'

'It'll be significantly harder to do without your partner cultivating with you, but I assume she has a reason for not staying by your side. Either way, brute force and strength is the best way. Look at the seals like bottle necks, you can only shatter them when you reach a certain level of strength.

'However, that strength isn't just cultivation, it's about how far above your cultivation you can battle. The stronger you are in comparison to your cultivation level, the easier it is to shatter the seals. So it's a combination of your base cultivation and your battle power.'

'My battle power…' Dyon muttered.

In reality, it seemed like he could battle far above his station, but that wasn't the case.

When he was a meridian formation expert, the reason he could battle essence gatherers was because his soul had already broken into the saint stage.

Plus, those were essence gatherers of a universe that saw third grade experts as otherworldly geniuses. In addition, the only true genius that Dyon defeated, Saru, turned out to be heavily suppressed because she was battling in a quadrant that wasn't her own.

Then one might want to mention his battle with Loki and Elder Daiyu. They were far above him, no? That counts as battle power, right?

But that wasn't the case either. If it wasn't for his celestial puppet, he would have been caught nearly immediately. Then, if he hadn't burned his soul, Elder Daiyu would have killed him in a rage. Even further, he didn't even manage to kill the both of them until he bombed Loki's body with an abyssal core of death.

When Dyon thought through this, he cringed. His battle power really was too pitiful. At this point, he could hardly use even 20% of the potential of his celestial body. The Demon Sage's blood was talented enough to have him be the equivalent of a first-grade body cultivator, but the reality was that Dyon was more akin to a fourth or fifth.

To make matters worse, because of the seal on him now, he had fallen behind those of his generation in terms of comprehension. His wives were already breaking into the 7th intent levels, while his best will, death, was still at the 2nd intent level.

Dyon shook his head. 'I haven't even studied any attack or defense-based techniques. I'm useless.'

Although he knew it wasn't truly his fault, Dyon couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. That said, he didn't get a chance to think about it for long because the twins had come back.

Putting everything aside, Dyon began to meditate on the images of the twins brought back to him. When he saw the sheer vastness of it all, he couldn't help but be surprised.
