Lloyd spent the remaining time he had sparring and struggling against a dummy with 9 topaz seals.
While Lloyd didn't truly understand how the seals of the second commandment worked, he knew a few simple things that almost anyone with a formal education knew.
To reach the first commandment one needed to make a single Topaz seal as they broke through, or right after they broke through. They could not proceed with their cultivation otherwise. A seal is a runic circle created in the center of a person's chest when that person enters the second commandment.
Scientists have found ways to break down these runes and decrypt them to create their own artificial ones. In the past, however, people would be forced to follow their instincts, each person creating a unique rune for themselves which increased not only their talent, but also their chances of reaching newer heights.
