“Your foundation seems good, I an… but it’s flawed in many areas.” Luna quickly explained herself.
It was hard to tell soone like Dyon his foundation was flawed. Hadn’t he perfectly filled his ridians every step of the way? Plus, he had his body reconstructed before entering the saint realm, completely doing away with all of his hidden impurities.
In addition to this, he had his body completely reconstructed once more just a few weeks ago after entering the silver silk stage, and would undergo such a cleansing once more the mont he broke the barrier to the gold silk stage.
Although they had a child together, the truth was that Luna knew little about Dyon. She chased after a fanciful ideal of them being together purely because of Alauna and her fantasies of the kind of man he was, but the truth was that the only Dyon she had co to know was a Dyon whose emotions she had manipulated.
Because she knew little about Dyon, she thought he might get angry with her pointing out his flaws. The n she had co to know mostly had fragile egos and didn’t like to be criticized, so she didn’t want to open up a larger rift between her and Dyon.
In the end, she ended up flustered and quickly tried to explain herself, but the words she ended up saying were even worse than before. She felt like kicking herself on the inside as she lowered her head, a single eye closing as she expected Dyon to snap back at her.
But, that mont never ca.
“Flawed, eh?” Dyon pinched Little Alauna’s chubby cheeks as he fell into thought. “You’re probably right.
“The truth is that my cultivation was sealed by so bad people when I was younger, so for a long ti, I didn’t have access to much of my talent. Truthfully speaking, I still don’t have all of my talent in its entirety because the last third is still hidden away.
“Back then, I cultivated through the Foundation Stage incredibly slowly trying to make up for this… I guess I was too optimistic in thinking I escaped any mistakes.”
Now that Luna ntioned it, Dyon thought that she was probably right.
[Inner World: Sanctuary] wasn’t just the best cultivation technique ever created, it was also probably the hardest cultivation technique ever created – though this last part was debatable.
Yet, all those decades ago, Dyon had used his pitiful amount of talent to cultivate the entire first stage. Though he was supported by the incredibly energy dense Epistemic Tower at the ti, wasn’t it too much to expect soone as untalented as him to lay a perfect foundation?
The truth was that this was only a portion of the problem. Even further beyond that, Dyon was given his tempered ridians directly afterward, allowing him to reach the peak of the ridian Formation Realm instantly. But, how could one’s foundation be perfect if the cultivation was done for you?
The worst part was that this wasn’t the only ti Dyon’s cultivation had been done for him either. After his seal was undone, he shot up from the 1st Essence Gathering Stage to the 12th in an instant thanks to Evangeline’s, or rather, Jade’s energy provided through the Nine Cloud Yang Aphrodisiac.
There was a reason the Heavens only cultivated 1 stage for geniuses they liked after one passed a tribulation or entered a new Realm. If it helped any more, it would harm the foundation of the genius. Yet, despite not receiving the help of the Heavens during the Saint and Celestial Realms, Dyon had received a lot of help from elsewhere.
In truth, Dyon had only truly started cultivating under his own talent recently. He cultivated the Saint Realm and the Celestial Realm himself, but it could be argued that he received a ton of help outside of this. Maybe if it wasn’t for his body being reconstructed so many tis, he would have noticed the issues start to pop up much earlier.
Hearing Dyon’s confirmation of her thoughts, Luna felt a weight drop from her shoulders as she gathered the courage to look back up.
It seed she realized it too. This man she thought she loved, did she even understand the person he was? What were his likes, his dislikes? What side of the bed did he sleep on? What kind of food did he like? What were his hobbies?
Luna would be lying if she said she didn’t feel uncomfortable with the cold shoulder Dyon’s wives gave her, despite her belief that she deserved it. After all, she was only human, albeit a human with godlike abilities. There would always be that hidden sadness within her.
But now, she finally understood their thoughts. She didn’t even know Dyon, what right did she have to ask them to share him with her?
Luna felt enlightened as yet another weight fell, but this ti, from her heart. She finally smiled a genuine smile, one that wasn’t just for Alauna… It was one for herself, for a hopeful future.
Now that she understood where she was wrong, she could work to fix it. She was very curious… The father of her child… What kind of man was he?
“You said that a third of your talent was still sealed?” Luna relaxed, eting Dyon’s eyes with a light smile.
“Mm.” Dyon nodded lifting the giggling Alauna up and into the air. “It’s unfortunate, but my energy cultivation talent is sealed within an Energy Kernel. I’m just lucky that my constitution covers my bases in that regard.
“I would absorb it back, but I have no way of separating my talent from the others. And, if I have too much energy cultivation talent, my tribulations will beco impossible to cross.”
Luna’s eyes sparkled. “I can help with that too!”
