Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God

chapter-1324
Without even needing to check, Dyon knew that his soul had strengthened once more. Except, this time, it wasn't in size, but in density and quality!
Before, Dyon inner world had crumbled when he took the martial saint pill because its construction was too weak. Relying on the 5% comprehension of his Crown wasn't enough. Coupling this with the fact his inner world was meant to rely on all three martial paths, and not just one, and it was a recipe for disaster.
Luckily, after taking the martial saint pill, his inner world collapsed and condensed to build a firmer foundation. Although its scope was only just a little over 500 meters now, well shy of the previous 1-kilometer mark, it was far stronger. If it wasn't for this, Dyon's inner world would be able to withstand the increase in his cultivation.
Now, Dyon's Crown had become even more overbearing. Despite still having the characteristics of the celestial realm, Dyon's soul had begun exhibiting the qualities of planet grade soul energy! In fact, although it still projected as moon grade soul energy, Dyon's soul energy had the robust and dense nature of half-step planet grade soul energy!
'This kind of Manifestation, it shouldn't have a place in this Mortal Plane…' Dyon couldn't help but think to himself, looking toward his nascent soul.The peaceful now 5-6 year old didn't seem to notice Dyon's gaze.
Dyon's manifestation played with the laws of the mortal plane as though it was its own playground. Even if Dyon was stupid beyond belief he wouldn't believe that this had nothing to do with it.
'This increase in soul strength is even better than the size increase of my divine sense realm. Now, even planet grade spiritual plants will have trouble hiding from me… And…'
Dyon smiled. With a thought, a white flower appeared to his side.
The last time he had tried this, he failed miserably. In fact, the flower wilted before his very eyes. But, this time, a perfect 5% clone stepped out from within, looking like a perfect mirror image of Dyon.
Before, Dyon improvements had so far outstripped his comprehension of the Florence Family technique that his soul became too weak to produce even a 1% clone. But, now, although before he had been able to form 15% clones, this one 5% clone made him happier than any of those ever did.
Dyon's grin only widened.**
For the next half month, Dyon only stayed within this true inner world and pondered on the truths of his manifestation. It was only now he realized the true majesty of a humanoid manifestation and why they were so rare, yet at the same time so difficult to comprehend fully.
The truth was that although the Acacia Family's Tree of Life and Death was the most powerful of the three ancient techniques, this matter was several folds more complicated than it seemed.
Firstly, the Mathilde family was only able to bring out the true strength of their Asura's Eye after cultivating Devil Qi. This was something they could never have imagined before. If one were to compare the Asura's Eye manifestation to the Tree of Life and Death now, the Asura's Eye would surpass it by almost 10%. Meaning, the Acacia Clan only comprehended their manifestation to 20%, however the Mathilde Clan had grown to 30% after discovering the effects of Devil Qi.
This one story is enough for one to understand just how complicated comprehending a manifestation fully was. How could the Mathilde Clan have possible known that conventional qi wasn't the best for them? They could only consider themselves lucky for having found out this truth before their Clan died off.
The second reason the Acacia Clan's manifestation was so powerful in comparison was simply due to how profound the Florence Family technique was. Unlike the other two Clans, the Florence Clan had only comprehended about 10% of their manifestation. Yet, they still managed to stand almost equal to the other two. The potential of their manifestation was clear.
However, Dyon suspected that if understanding a manifestation was as easy as drinking these tea leaves, the comprehension the elves had would have been far deeper than this, even considering its planet grade. Dyon could only assume that his manifestation was special. It practically guided him itself, directly telling him what he needed to understand. If others who comprehended their own manifestations knew this, they'd die of envy.
"We need to be more flexible with Our white flames. Understand that its purity is entrenched even deeper in the light than even Holy Will. It's the very essence of all that is good in the world. If We layer a comprehension of creation will to this, what do you receive? If We grow powerful enough, We can directly bestow life."
The life his manifestation referred to wasn't something so heaven defying as raising the dead, although maybe there really would be a day he could do such a thing. What this Ancient Dyon referred to was breathing life into smaller creations.
When Dyon fought the Heaven Clan Kitsune heiress Masako, she used her comprehension of Magic and her Clan's affinity with the Heavens to create realistic creatures. This lessened the burden on her mental energy by allowing her techniques to gain a certain level of sentience.
At the moment, it was possible for Dyon with his 10% understanding to form realistic birds or other small creatures with his white flames. They would be able to reach ranges even his divine sense couldn't. However, this was a far less useful ability as things stood now. After all, did he really need more than 200 000km in the immediately future? That was doubtful.
That said, when he thought about how these creatures held a strand of their own life force, making their range unlimited… He realized that their potential for scouting was unimaginable. Dyon could potentially keep an eye on multiple universes at once.
"This Life Bestowal ability may seem like yet another characteristic of Our flame to others, but this is actually just an extension of the very same and singular Creation Characteristic. If We used these flames while We forged weapons and treasures, their likelihood of gaining sentience will skyrocket. It's also possible to use these flames in other techniques that require a certain life path…"
Dyon's eyes glowed. Both the Florence family technique and the Divine Grade cloning technique he had both relied on such a path. This meant he could amplify his clones with his white flames without having to comprehend the Florence Family Technique. Also, this would lower the requirements for the materials of the clones as well!
'The abilities of manifestations are truly endless… No wonder they're so difficult to comprehend…'
"Our black flames are Our greatest offensive strength, this is because while Our white flames can breed life, your flames breed destruction.
"The reason Our creations can sustain themselves without Us is because they can absorb energy unto themselves. For this reason, black flames can increase their destruction capabilities as well. This gives this flame an opposing Characteristic to Our white flames. Both are known as Immortal Characteristics, however they're displayed in different fashions."
With all the information he was soaking in, even Dyon felt his head imploding. This was far more difficult than even a divine grade technique. In fact, this was the first time Dyon found anything in the soul path difficult, this was truly new to him.
"What about the lightning and the eye?" Dyon had listened to his manifestation speak about four of his halos for weeks, but he hadn't said a word about these two. Whether it be his relatively straight forward weapon's pagoda, or his crown and flames, he had touched on all but them.
"The eye only appeared within the six halos first because not even Heaven's Might could hide it. The lightning only appeared because you were witness to the birth of a treasure of the 33 heavens. It's a blessing that your Lightning Willow mask depleted itself. Had you begun to comprehend the legacy within it, you would have agitated the lightning and caused a catastrophe.
"As for the eye, nothing in this world can move it. In fact, it's the reason you failed to comprehend the truth behind the Bow Avatar during your War God Tribulation. The secret to comprehending the Bow relies on the eyes, but you aren't ready."
Dyon didn't miss the change in the manifestation. This entire time, it referred to them as one entity, but after his question, he constantly referred to Dyon as though he was a separate being…
Suddenly, his manifestation shimmered, dimming slowly.
"If you want to understand the lightning, step into the dao formation realm first and use your tribulation to refuel the Lightning Willow Mask.
"If you want to comprehend the eye… Either temper your pupils to the Fate Silk Realm, or find two treasures of the 33 heavens – Heaven's Left Eye and Hell's Right Eye… Your mortal body won't withstand its might if you don't."
With those last words, his manifestation disappeared.
