She had witnessed the awakening of an undefeatable spirit before. In fact, it was her very own that she had experienced to begin with. For Alauna, this feat hadn't been difficult at all. It wasn't long after she entered the dao realm that she broke through.
"You don't understand…" Luna said softly. "… The undefeatable spirit isn't a separate entity, it's the evolution of one's own Dao Heart. The knowledge of this Era is simply too superficial."
"Mother…?" Alauna's confusion deepened.
Luna sighed. "You still don't know this, but your father is actually the reincarnation of my husband of countless generations ago. We met not in this Mortal Era, but in the Primordial Era."
Alauna's eyes widened. She really had never known this. The past of her mother and father was hidden from her by the both of them. She had just assumed they had some difficulties they couldn't expound, so she obediently didn't ask.
But for Luna to actually live so long… Even Heaven's Children weren't truly Immortal. There would come a day where they would silently pass away and fuse with the Heavens once more. But, Luna had actually lived for so long!
"This is all to say that your mother has some knowledge many don't…
"When one begins to cultivate, a preliminary Dao Heart is formed. However, this is only a fleshling state. It's incredibly fragile and can only count as a seed. The way in which this seed grows is what's decided by individual martial artists.
"This realm is known as the Dao Seed Realm.
"As one progresses, it becomes possible to form the true state of a Dao Heart. Of these, there are nine Supreme Dao Hearts that have withstood the test of time and are acknowledge as the very best.
"This realm is known as the Dao Awakening Realm.
"You might have already expected this, but the next state is actually this so-called undefeatable spirit realm. Though its name is fanciful and grandiose, its true ability isn't so enigmatic. With an undefeatable spirit, one is able to maintain a calm state of mind and their peak condition while in battle. No matter the odds the face, they can pull this off. So, this undefeatable title is actually symbolic of a sort of self-assessment. One would never lose to one's self in this realm.
"This realm's true name is the Dao Liberation Realm.
"However, for whatever reason, your father seems to be able to enter the Dao Liberation State with absolute ease. He never struggled to do so even when he only had a mere Dao Seed. I've witnessed him do this many times before, and it wasn't until I learned these things that I realized how shocking it was.
"Your father is capable of using his own will power to accomplish a feat usually only the Heavens can aid one in accomplishing.
"Now that he's truly reached the Grand Perfection State of the Dao Awakening Realm… I really don't know what kind of changes this will bring…"
...
Dyon's frown deepened. He suddenly found it hard to control his body.
He felt that this was incredibly similar to a feeling of having an incomparably solid foundation… one so solid that after a certain point in time, one's breakthrough could no longer be halted.
The issue was that such a breakthrough was completely beyond his expectations. He had faintly heard Luna's explanation. In fact, many had heard it. Her words about him being the reincarnation of her past husband would actually serve to quell much of hidden waves he had caused in their Sprite Alliance territory this time around. But, what was more poignant was her revelation about the Dao Liberation Realm.
Dyon had always found himself to be supremely confident even facing opponents many times more powerful than himself. He just had no idea that this was him tapping into the Dao Liberation Realm all along.
But, how could matters be so simple? Even if others entered the Dao Liberation Realm as well, there were limits to this realm's abilities, right?
It was obvious at first glance that this couldn't possible be the highest Dao Heart State. If it was, the Immortal Plane would be nothing more than a joke. How could the greatest state of minds be reached by mere mortals on an inferior plane?
This alone proved that the undefeatable spirit, or the Dao Liberation Realm, wasn't infallible.
Yet, Dyon had been able to remain dauntless before Celestials with not an ounce of qi cultivation… He had been able to battle a Dao Expert as a mere Meridian Formation Realm expert and even survived to tell the tale.
Sure, Elder Daiyu had been severely weakened, but in the end, hadn't he ignored his injuries to break through that bottleneck once again anyway?
The so-called Battle Gods of the Sprite Alliance could most definitely not replicate these feats. Their undefeatable spirits were already severely repressed when facing mere Higher Dao Experts, let alone Fallen and Higher Existences.
What did this all mean? It meant that even Luna had underestimated Dyon.
Dao Seed Realm. Dao Awakening Realm. Dao Liberation Realm. Dao Purification Realm. Dao Tranquility Realm. Dao Monolith Realm. Selfless Dao Realm. Dao Vanity Realm. And finally… The Dao Simplicity Realm.
Each Realm above was harder to ascend than maybe even the Heavens themselves, and each had names those of the Mortal Plane weren't even worthy of knowing.
Yet… What Dyon entered easily with nothing but a Dao Seed wasn't the Dao Liberation Realm, but the Dao Tranquility Realm!
How this occurred? Maybe only Junior was aware. And, this wouldn't be the limitations of Junior's knowledge either.
Junior would be aware that though Dyon could grasp the mind state of the Realm, he couldn't touch about its blessings entirely.
In the end, one's Dao Heart was meant to be the foundation for one's comprehension. If Dyon could truly enter the Dao Tranquility Realm in its truest state, let alone struggling with comprehending Daos, He would have already mastered several Laws by now!
Dyon's soul trembled.
