Chapter 1814 Excitement
Pjisel was shocked by these words, but looking at Dyon's expression, he didn't seem to be joking.
Of course Dyon wasn't. Though he didn't find out immediately, it was true that Esmeralda left him The Seal. To now, it had helped him more times than he could count. Even the Martial Saint pills numbered a thousand, but there were only 33 such treasures in the whole of existence.
Dyon speculated that the reason so few had been seen on the Mortal Plane was likely because the remainder of them were on the Immortal Plane. But that hardly mattered to him now.
"… But Master, even if that's true… Wouldn't these resources have been better spent on someone else?"
Dyon shook his head. "It seems you're still not aware, hm?"
Pjisel blinked in confusion.
"You were born with a constitution, the Earth Grade Constitution – Heaven's Mimicry."
"What…?"
Pjisel was shocked. One shouldn't be fooled by the talents Dyon had around him, even his Grand Teacher could only explain the geniuses around Dyon by saying he must have had great karma in a last life. The reality was that even to the outer power, an Earth Grade Constitution's appearance was the touting of an absolute genius!
To those of the Celestial Quadrant, this realization would be even more shocking.
In truth, the talents of those born in the Celestial Quadrant was quite good overall. If it had to be compared, it definitely didn't fall behind the top 5 tower quadrants. Of course, this was because of the influence of the lingering Faith left by the Celestial Deer Sect.
The issue was that their legacies were too shallow.
Even if such a genius was born, it was often up to trial and error whether or not said genius would fully awaken. Often times, these geniuses would die due to the side effects of their unawakened constitutions much like Madeleine almost had.
Dyon stood, his soul qi beginning to cause changes to the world once more.
Numerous spiritual ingredients appeared, disappearing into motes of light as though they were devoured by the arrays Dyon formed.
They began to swirl, once more forming a beautiful white pill.
For the second time that day, Heaven's Chimes rang, blanketing Soul Planet with a flood of energy.
Pjisel felt numb to the shocking at this point. His master formed two pills before him, and they were both nine times strengthened. For others it was too inconceivable, but now all he felt was an inexplicable pride.
"Here." Dyon said casually, tossing over the pill no doubt worth hundreds of dao stones despite only being the Grandmaster Grade.
Swallowing it, he felt his body heat up.
"This Constitution Awakening Pill, after being strengthened nine times, has the ability to awaken any Earth Grade Constitution to its utmost limit. Use this opportunity well to sense the changes of your body."
Pjisel nodded seriously, entering a silent meditation.
What Dyon meant by utmost limit would be shocking to most. It essentially meant that Pjisel wouldn't need to slowly comprehend his constitution like Dyon or his wives did, he would instantly access every one of its abilities. It was akin to Dyon reaching the Fate Silk Realm of his Titan Diamond Body the instant he awakened it.
Of course, this only worked because his constitution was of the Earth Grade, something Dyon was ironically happy about.
The designation of constitution grades was decided by the Faith gathered by its previous owners. This allowed the Heaven's to choose its level of importance, thus tweaking how easy or difficult it was to awaken to maintain balance.
One would think this meant that Pjisel's constitution was relatively useless in comparison to the others, but the excitement in Dyon's eyes told a completely different story.
...
Pjisel soon awakened, the excitement in his eyes thickening.
"Heaven's Mimicry has three total stages." Dyon began to explain.
"The first stage is the Outer Shell stage. In this stage, you can change your outward appearance to match anything. In this case, it's more like an outward projection instead of a true change of your body. Others perceive that you've changed, but you haven't truly.
"The second stage is the Inner Shell stage. In this stage, you can change even the inner workings of your body, everything from your meridian pathways to your blood vessels. Here, your change is no longer an illusion, it is a true change that requires energy to sustain.
"The third stage is the Core Stage. In this stage, your imitation abilities reach an unprecedented level. Even copying another martial path, dao heart, or dao comprehension isn't impossible. In battle, you can perfectly emulate another's battle style and even techniques. It's a heaven defying ability."
Though Pjisel faintly understood these things, listening to them laid out before him, his trembling could only grow fiercer.
"You must be wondering why such an ability is only of the Earth Grade? It's probably hard for you to imagine that there are better constitutions, right?"
Pjisel inadvertently nodded.
"There are many reasons, actually. Some conventional that have been accepted for a long time, and I also have a few reasons that others wouldn't be able to think of. This will be your first lesson, so listen intently. Master won't always have time to guide you diligently, so take times like these seriously."
Pjisel's nodding grew more fervent, his gaze growing in seriousness.
"The first reason is due to difficulty in improvement. Over 99% of those who awaken this constitution will never cross past the Outer Shell. As such, the Faith they accumulated in their life was limited. After all, at best, with such superficial imitation abilities, they'd be good spies, but it would be hard to become anything greater."
Pjisel's eyes widened, suddenly feeling far more grateful for Dyon's pill. But, he was still curious.
"Why is that, Master?"
"There are a few theories, but the main and accepted reason is that it's simply too difficult to reach a state where you can let go of everything that makes you, you. The second and third stage of your constitution often cause many to lose their path.
"This leads into the second reason."
