Chapter 1141 - Chaotic (2) (1/2)

Dyon didn't have time to think. It was clear that his selfless state wouldn't do him any good here.

Of course, he had confidence in meeting Elder Bowa head on if he used his Demon Emperor's Will. However, he had promised his master he wouldn't. After all, Demon Emperor's will wasn't just a Divine level technique, it was among the best divine level techniques that existed, period. There was a reason that it was the staple technique of the Demon Sage. If Dyon didn't have the Demon Sage's blood essence, he wouldn't have any business using the technique at all.

Before Elder Bowa could gloat, Dyon burst out of the rubble. For better or worse, he still had a celestial level body even though he didn't practice any defensive techniques.

'I've solved the predictability [Whipping Wind, Galloping Steps] to a certain extent, but it still lacks flexibility.'

Dyon threw himself into the air, dodging an assault from converging saints and circulating the technique once more. However, he felt a significant drop in his focus and mental energy. It seemed that entering the selfless state wasn't without a price.

He couldn't help but sigh when he realized this. 'If only I was a Crystal Dragon…'

'Dyon,' Dyon's master felt oddly thankful that Dyon's selfless state had ended. She would feel too useless as a master if Dyon could just figure everything out on his own. 'Don't mind the selfless state too much. The best way to increase mental energy is by constantly exhausting it. This time, you lasted about 12 minutes. You likely would have lasted 15 had you not been f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y knocked out of it.'

Dyon nodded, listening intently to his master. There were simply too few resources capable of increasing mental energy. But, if what his grand teacher said was correct, the Crystal Dragon Clan had a method to do so…

'In terms of notes on your battle, you've underestimated celestials a bit too much. It was too reckless to try and f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y push the level of your fist technique by meeting him head on.

'You have to remember that before going on to the next realm, one tempers their body with energy they'll be proceeding into. It's almost akin to repeating the foundation and meridian formation stage for every step forward. Although geniuses do this to a much more thorough extent, regular cultivators will do this as well, do you understand?'

'You're trying to say that although he's not a body cultivator, his body isn't weak either.'

'Exactly. If you want an analogy, consider the grades of cultivation. Depending on number of meridians filled, you're given a higher grade.

'Essentially, the body tempering provided by energy cultivation is akin to 'filling less meridians', making the grade of your body lower.

'A true celestial body cultivator would be likened to a third, second or first grade warrior, the very highest orders.

'However, a celestial of energy cultivation would be more like a seventh or sixth grade body cultivation warrior.

'No one has parsed these differences perfectly because body cultivating is so rare, however, it's quite easy to get a general guess when you begin fighting your opponent.
