Book 11: Chapter 65: Guess (1)

Dyon was shocked. He realized in this instant that his soul was actually recovering faster than it was being burned. It was like this was the state his soul was meant to be in.

For a moment, Dyon was lost in thought.

All his life, his soul cultivation had been beyond even his own understanding. Even if he didn’t actively cultivate it, it grew wildly almost to the point of being out of control. In fact, there were many times Dyon had to actively suppress his soul so that his own body didn’t shatter under the pressure.

In recent times, this had become less and less of a problem in part due to his Titan Diamond Constitution in addition to his alchemy.

Currently, Dyon faintly believed that maybe the reason his soul refused to enter the Overlord realms in true force was because of a self protection mechanism. Maybe his body really wouldn’t be able to withstand the change.

Of course, even without entering that Realm, Dyon’s soul was far more powerful than even and Overlord’s despite still being within the dao realms.

“You’re really fine?” Ri muttered, looking at Dyon with a weird expression.

“My soul… is still growing stronger…” Dyon responded softly.

The more he observed, the more shocked he became.

The burning of his soul was actually purifying it of lingering impurities! The gold soul qi of Innate Aurora wielders was already naturally purer than those who had normal white soul qi, but Dyon’s soul seemed keen on pushing even past that.

‘There’s nothing else this could be… It has to be a constitution. That’s the only explanation.’

Dyon felt that he had suddenly been missing out on something his whole life. Just how many constitutions with abstruse awakening conditions had he run across in his lifetime?

There was Amphorae’s constitution which required falling in love with the same man through two reincarnations in order to manifest its true strength. There was Ri’s constitution oddity where her Elvin Queen’s Reign didn’t manifest until she resolved its conflict with her Void Kitsune Faith Seed. There was Madeleine’s constitution which before awakening made her feel an uncontrollable lust during the full moon…

Just how many constitutions were there that had odd conditions, often unknown to even its wielder? Dyon himself had had no idea that his Titan Diamond Body had the Ancient Battlefield itself as its world until years into having it.

Who was to say that there wasn’t some obscure soul constitution with had the ridiculous condition of burning one’s soul to activate?

There was no learner’s manual for cultivation. It may seem like there is due to how many techniques existed, but weren’t these just written by those who originally had no idea what they were doing as well? Just how many new techniques were created everyday? Every week? Month? Year? Millennium?

In the same vein, how could constitutions be so easily understood? Constitutions were incredibly rare to begin with, two of the same constitution might not even appear in the same generation! Let alone the fact that the mortal plane’s population has taken a steep trend downward.

Dyon suddenly felt a wave of enlightenment, his body all but froze.

‘I always believed the greatest weakness of the soul was that it couldn’t be used to attack directly, but is that really the case? How many people use qi to attack directly? You might be able to kill someone far weaker than you with a surge of qi, but when facing an opponent at near or the same level, it’s always best to choose to use a technique…

‘The path your qi takes in your meridians, the way it’s expelled, how it’s used, this is what makes the energy path gain its strength.

‘Before that, the body cultivation path was the most crude. Aren’t the muscles qi and soul qi in this context? No one uses their muscles to attack directly, that would be ridiculous… We use our muscles as levers to generate torque and explosive power in our limbs… This is how the strength of the body path comes into play…

‘But what about the soul? We use arrays to implement our strength, but the problem is that scaling this strength is too difficult.

‘The more powerful the array, the longer it takes to deploy. The more complex the runes of the array, the stronger it is, but once again, it takes longer to draw…

‘But this isn’t a flaw of the soul, it’s the flaw of the techniques used to converge soul strength. The problem is that it’s simply too difficult to fix this issue… techniques like [Soul Aid] have tried, but they mandate a high threshold of both talent and stamina.

‘This isn’t my problem to fix, though. I have no need to do so, nor the time to do so. But what if my constitution fixes this problem for me…?

‘Arrays use runes to communicate with the heavens. That archaic language is able to connect with the heavens in such a way that it becomes capable of commanding it to perform certain tasks. This is why I always equated drawing arrays to writing code.

‘The true theory behind it is akin to a gate. Every rune is able to open a gate toward heaven’s power. The more complex the rune, the larger the gate, and the more powerful the array.

‘But what if my soul was able to forcibly make this gate larger with the use of weaker, more simply runes?’

Dyon’s eyes flashed opened, the illusory white flames around him vanishing completely.

‘Everyone can only use their soul to form a bridge with the Heavens… But what if I can do much more than just form a bridge…?’
