1003 Scar 3 (2/2)

Dyon sunk into deep thought. He wasn't new to the idea of constitutions hurting their host at all. For example, his own wife, Madeleine, would have died to her Goddess' Disposition if he hadn't found the remains of the Celestial Deer Sect, and thus awakened it for her. Of course, Akihiko claimed that he could do this for her as well, but his only plan was to steal her talent away.

It wasn't outside the realm of possibilities that these twin sisters could also have such a double edged constitution. And considering the state of this 98th quadrant, there was no way they could get their hands on the constitution awakening pill.

The only problem with this was that Dyon had never heard of such a constitution. Although he didn't research them as stringently as Clara had, he still had a rough idea about them all…

'I haven't heard of this constitution either,' The Dragon King continued. 'But, you're still a little too tender. Haven't you wondered why constitutions are constantly repeated? Why so many people share the same constitutions, even to the point where they've 'all' been documented and understood?

'There are 33 God Constitutions, 33 Heaven constitutions and 33 Earth constitions. This number is almost double if you consider the separation for both genders – although, not exactly double because there is some overlap between constitutions as some of them are gender neutral – do you know why this is?'

'I once hypothesized that constitutions existed as a clue left by the laws of the heavens. As though they were telling us that were should take all three core paths of cultivation, the soul, the body and their energies, seriously.'

'That's part of the truth.' The Dragon King said in slight surprise. 'However, it isn't the heavens who left this clue, it was the powerful members of a generation even older than mine.'

'You mean?'

'Constitutions are a more perfect form of the faith seed. Although they are generally less powerful, they also don't have the same drawbacks.

'It��s a lot like how your aurora flames are. Ancient aurora flames are much more powerful, just like faith seeds are, however, if you tried to fuse them with your soul, you'd do irreparable harm to yourself. In the same way, if you rely too heavily of a faith seed, it will effect your cultivation in the future because your dao will no longer be your own.

'In order to use aurora flames, they had to be weakened and made more docile. Following this same logic, constitutions are generally seen as weaker than faith seeds, but they also don't put up the same road blocks to future cultivation.

'The reason this is, is because a group of ancient cultivators gave up their right to transcend to create these constitutions, imprinting their legacy across time.'
