Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God
chapter-2166

However, he didn't feel bad about this. He knew that his next actions would likely destroy this place anyway.

'Whoever created this red star both has far higher attainments than me in fundamental runes and lower attainments as well…

'They were able to perfectly home in on the structure of the blue star and create a flawless counterbalance. The most direct way to do this is by creating the antithesis of its fundamental runes… But, I can tell that whoever this person is couldn't manipulate fundamental runes…

'This red star is definitely the beginning of an Origin Source, one with good potential too. But why leave it here…?'

Dyon didn't spend too much time thinking about it. The opportunity to observe two perfect counterbalanced and opposing set of fundamental runes was too rare.

His progress would leap forward by leaps and bounds.

Dyon fell into a selfless state. It was completely unlike what he had once entered as a mere Essence Gatherer because this time, it was backed by his obscenely powerful Dao Heart.

The Dao Tranquility stage already allowed its user to enter a selfless state far beyond that of the mortal plane. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that comprehension speed increased a thousandfold.

However, Dyon had long since surpassed this stage. He had entered the Dao Vanity Realm.

To put this into perspective, in order to begin constructing your own Origin Source, one only needed to enter a single step higher than tranquility, and enter the Dao Monolith Realm. Not only did this stage provide you with a vajra body, but it also stabilized your Dao Heart enough that beginning this process only Immortal Gods could touch became possible.

Yet, Dyon was two levels above this, crossing the Selfless Dao realm and firmly planting himself within the Dao Vanity Realm. Let alone currently, only a handful of people had ever reached this Dao state. In fact, a handful might still be an exaggeration…

On top of this, Dyon's Dao Heart wasn't normal either. It was one thing to reach a high Dao state with an average Dao Heart, or even one of the nine core Dao Hearts. But… just what did it mean to reach it with Dyon's?

Of course, this was just a thought experiment. An average Dao Heart would never make it so far. Only those of the nine core Dao Hearts had entered Dyon's current Realm, that was why they had gained their prestige to begin with!

But, though Dyon didn't know the name of his Dao Heart. What he was certain of was the fact that it didn't have a place among those nine.

With these sort of advantages, it was no wonder he comprehended fundamental runes so quickly. And now that he had an environment almost perfectly conducive to understanding them even though it hadn't been the creator's intention, his speed was even faster.

Saru and Lilith didn't interrupt Dyon. They only quietly made use of the heavenly herbs Dyon had gathered to strengthen their bodies.

Since they were technically still mortals, it wasn't necessary to refine them into pills. Just imagine the effect a single immortal herb would have on the mortal plane. Yet, the two of them were practically swimming in such precious resources.

Saru focused entirely on tempering her body. She seemed to have no intention of trying to reach the Overlord realm in the other three facets.

Many of the herbs, but the nature of this underground space, were fire and ice herbs. These kinds just so happened to be the perfect resource for body tempering.

When her body became used to the biting cold, she would switch to a searing heat, then back again. As time progressed, her body grew more refined and beautiful, like a flawlessly carved sculpture.

As for Lilith, her cultivation method was extremely unique. Much like how Saru tempered her body, she tempered her soul. However, if Dyon was paying attention, his eyes would widen in shock.

Lilith used the burning hot and scolding cold like a whetstone for her soul. She continuously sharpened her heart's blade in relentless pursuit of her dao. To her, nothing else was more important than her sword. With it alone, she could face the world. With it alone… She could stand by the man she loved.

Objectively speaking, Lilith's mortal soul had somehow become just as durable as a nascent or immortal soul. By extension, her soul should have technically also been in the Overlord Realm as well. Something that was exceptionally impressive considering that, unlike Dyon's other wives, she had never dual cultivated with him. She had done all of this by her own efforts.

However, her soul was somehow still in the mortal realms just like Dyon's, as though she was facing a similar problem in breaking through.

On the outside, Dyon's comprehension was increasing explosively. He realized now that if he wanted to quickly comprehended fundamental runes, doing so on the surface of a world was foolish. He had to find the core of the bubble world just like he had now.

Of course, those environments wouldn't be as perfect for comprehension as this one was, showing two perfect counterbalanced forces, however it would still be far better.

In just a single year, Dyon felt that he had perfectly grasped core theories behind both stars. The moment he had, the rest progressed with blazing speed. In just another week, he had perfectly comprehended all of their intricacies.

When Dyon succeeded in this, he found that comprehending Immortal Essence also came with a certain practiced ease to it. It seemed that grasping the laws of a world to a certain level lowered the barriers for him. Though Immortal Saint qi was still a distance from him since this was just a low level world, Immortal Essence fundamental runes flowed into his consciousness almost like they were a novel he was reading.

'… So this is conventional Immortal Essence… There's still room to improve it, but first…'
