Chapter 2065 - Master6 (1/2)
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 acc.u.mulated 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. Even those talented enough to reach the second or third stage often die to cultivation deviation. If one relies too much on their imitations, their own path with collapse. Once one begins to doubt their martial way, death isn't too far off.”
Pjisel s.u.c.k.e.d in a cold breath in understanding. No wonder why such an amazing constitution couldn't climb up beyond the Earth Grade and strengthen itself further.
”The third reason is my own personal theory and I believe it's the most important reason.”
Pjisel focused his everything on Dyon's next words.
”Those with your constitution rely too much on it without understanding the underlying mechanisms.”
