Book 10: Chapter 138: Struck (2)

Weeks later, Dyon descended upon an odd formation of three planets. They seemed to orbit each other like moons, but it was impossible to tell which was the center of it all. Their mysterious movement seemed to hold deep secrets within, vibrating with a rhythm that melded into the Heavens.

Each one of these three planets was incomparably lush. Though the climate varied from place to place on their surfaces, what remained true no matter how hot or how cold was the dense breath of life that suffused them all.

With a thought, Dyon had already located what he wanted and with a flash, appeared behind a young man tending to a garden.

His feet were bare, and he had a light smile on his face, shuttling around quickly between shallow trenches of streaming water. He didn’t seem to mind the muddying of his feet at all.

In the not so far distance, a gorgeous beauty with olive skin and full features gently waved a sword. Her movements carried a profundity that made Dyon raise his brows in appreciation.

“It seems that although Little Sister Delia hasn’t entered the battlefield in a long while, her improvements are still massive.”

Hearing this sudden third voice, the pair turned to see Dyon’s figure, their eyes lighting up with happiness.

“Ah, Dyon!” Eli grinned, giving Dyon a massive bear hug.

Though Eli’s body looked fragile, if one compared him to a mortal, he would definitely be at the peak of what a mortal body could provide in terms of strength and agility. Plus, considering the fact he was half a head taller than Dyon, he completely enveloped the latter.

Dyon smiled, returning Eli’s hug. He didn’t have many male friends, maybe only Eli and Zabia. So he cherished them both.

Over the years, Eli’s understanding of his Heavenly Talent grew to unprecedented level. This arrangement of three planets was just one aspect.

In the beginning, Eli believed that his talent was the speedy growth of spiritual herbs, he even had the ability to evolve these herbs beyond their abilities and create existences. For example, his research toward Serpent Vines had borne great results. Right now, he already had the ability to grow Dao Grade Serpent Vines that protected him at all times.

But, under the guidance of Luna and her subordinate Heaven’s Children, Eli came to understand that his understanding was too surface.

Over time, he began to slowly tease apart his limits and came to understand that his true ability wasn’t speedily growing spiritual herbs, but rather, resonating with Heavenly Laws!

What was the real reason Eli could speed up the growth of spiritual herbs? Wasn’t it because he had a deep understanding of how to build a spiritual garden?

Everything from the flow of these streams of water, to the location seeds were planted in, even to the exact temperature, was all controlled by him. When had he ever injected spiritual herbs with some mystical power to make them grow…? The answer was never!

Why had Eli believed his strength was so limited? It was precisely because he had spent so long around spiritual herbs since his youth. Even back at Focus Academy, it was he who tended to Delia’s gardens and provided Madeleine with the herbs she needed to suppress her illness.

He had had a passion for it since his youth, so of course his talents first manifested in this narrow field.

But now, his abilities worked on a much grander scale. That formation of three planets that left Dyon infatuated was actually the work of Eli. By using them to tap into the Heavenly Dao, these three planets were much closer to the Heavens, thus allowing these spiritual herbs to grow even faster!

Simply put, while Luna could control all of the qi in the world, she didn’t have to comprehend their mysteries. However, Eli controlled the root of these things. This meant that Eli could easily grasp all of the Daos of the Mortal Plane. Essentially, with a single thought, he could use any 9th Level Dao with incomparable ease. Of course, this Dao had to exist within the Gama Qi of the universe he was present in.

Unfortunately, this still placed his combat strength below Luna’s. After all, Will comprehensions were meant to be supplements to true strength.

However, when this talent was applied to auxiliary matters, it shone to unprecedented levels! And even now, Eli was still learning. With enough time, everything on the Mortal Plane would be in the palm of Eli’s hand. Even telling the future wasn’t impossible.

Of course, Delia benefited greatly from this. With Eli’s help, it was much easier for her sense Heavenly Daos, especially when they Dual Cultivated.

“I’ve brought you presents.” Dyon said with a smile after chatting for the couple for a while. He even brought Clara, Ri and Madeleine out from his inner world. It had been a while since they spent time together considering he had been gone for 5 years prior.

With a wave of his hand, hundreds of star and planet grade spiritual herbs appeared. Without missing a beat, Eli’s eyes lit up like lanterns.

“So many!” He said with astonishments.

Dyon laughed. “Compared to the number you’ve grown, this is a pitiful few.”

“Maybe…” Eli said excitedly. “But the ones I’ve grown to now are mostly experiments. Of the few that are useful to you, they’re ordinary planet and star grade spiritual herbs. However, each one of the ones you’ve brought out now are incomparably precious. Most of them have been extinct for a long time!”

“Ordinary planet and star grade spiritual herbs?” Delia giggled. “Maybe only you two would be willing to say this about treasures the whole mortal plane would drool over.”

The two families laughed and enjoyed their time of leisure, pretending to be completely unaware that the Mortal Plane was in flames due to Dyon’s actions.
