Amphorae frowned. "Then you definitely can\'t do it. I won\'t allow you. You\'ve already died once, are you really so eager to die again?"
The Demon Sage chuckled, avoiding his daughter\'s piercing gaze.
"In my youth, I would have. But, you don\'t need to worry. This old man doesn\'t have such ambitions any longer. In truth, many of the enemies I made, the same enemies that killed your mother, were enraged by me because I enraged them first.
"Our Pakal Clan doesn\'t have the deep-rooted history necessary to have procured these godly pills for ourselves. So, the only way I could get my hands on them was by warring with Clans who did. Unfortunately, my arrogance got the best of me. I provoked those Clans far earlier than I should have for that dream."
The Demon Sage sighed. "I thought that as long as I gained an Ancient Constitution, I would be undefeatable. By then, I could sweep over the mortal plane and complete my dream of unifying it all. I was naïve… Those outer quadrant Clans are a monster the tower quadrants couldn\'t hope to compare to. Any one of them could crush all hundred quadrants with ease, save the Dragons and Qilins. If it wasn\'t for the Jafari Clan Treasure, I would have been wiped out before I even knew what happened."
How could Amphorae not know these things? She was chased for many years before her father\'s spirit found its way back to her. They even entered the tower to chase her.
Of course, it wasn\'t because they were afraid of the threat of her. Back then, some bastards were so infatuated with her beauty that they went through all the lengths in the world to make her theirs. Luckily, she improved so quickly thanks to her odd constitution that the experts they sent became outdated too fast to harm her.
"Consider this my old infatuation." The Demon Sage dismissively. "Let me help you absorb the pill."
"Help me?" Amphorae\'s eyebrows raised.
"Of course, I can help you. If you use my soul as a proxy, the energy will be far gentler because it\'s incredibly compatible with me. Then, I can pass that energy directly to you because our souls are compatible as father and daughter. If we also rely on the life stone and the primordial qi within the celestial beasts\' realm just a few weeks will be enough for you to integrate 3 new meridians. Oh, just a few days if you enter your deep slumber."
Why was it that the Demon Sage was recognized as the greatest body cultivator to ever exist? After all, he didn\'t even have a body refinement technique like Orcus did. He also didn\'t have a top defensive constitution either. By all rights, it didn\'t make much sense.
But, the secret here is in his understanding of the human body. Though Dyon received a divine grade body refinement technique from Orcus, [False God Body], the Demon Sage\'s efficiency in cultivation was even a step above this.
Dyon had such a high affinity for array alchemy that it felt as though it was created for him. However, the Demon Sage\'s love was body cultivation. Not only did he have an exceptionally high understanding of his own body, he was able to understand the bodies of others to great levels. How else could he train the mediocre Ipsum Disciples to the Dao Realm in just 500 years?
"You finally understand my slumbering constitution, father?" Amphorae asked expectantly.
"Mm. I\'ve understood it for quite a while now, actually. It\'s just that I didn\'t want to waste your youth, so I didn\'t see a point in explaining it to you until you could leave my mystical world. It was better that you stayed in a suspended state so that you didn\'t age. Also… I was a bit worried about your constitution before. I didn\'t want to pass that worry onto you.
"Your constitution is a forgotten Earth Grade constitution known as Hypnos\' Muse."
"Earth grade?" Amphorae\'s brows furrowed. Her constitution felt too heaven defying to just be of the Earth Grade.
"Don\'t look down on Earth Grade constitutions, Little Rae. Some of them, in appropriate situations, can be incredibly powerful. For example, the Earth Grade constitution Earthen Will. It has a simple function. The larger and heavier its wielder\'s body, the stronger they become. If born in a normal human, it\'s lack luster unless they can get their hands on an expanding technique. However, if born in a Giant, or a beast that can morph into a large creature, how powerful would it be?
"Your Hypnos\' Muse is a bit special in a similar way…"
"Hypnos is a male God depicted as the embodiment of sleep in many ancient cultures. His Muse was the love of his life, a woman he blessed with a comforting sleep throughout all her lifetimes.
"This constitution is relatively weak initially, but Hypnos was a bit of a narcissist. He believed that your first life didn\'t need such good sleep because you had him, why would you need to have sleep when you had such a good man by your side?
"However, in the case that one born with this constitution in a previous lifetime is born with it again, it becomes something otherworldly. Hypnos believes that since it was unlikely for him to follow you into this life, you\'d be awashed with sorrow and would prefer to sleep for long periods of time to escape.
"He wants to incentivize this sleeping sorrow, so he rewards more you the longer you sleep."
Amphorae\'s eyes arched in surprise, then finally understanding. How could a constitution have such a harsh requirement? To happen to be born with same constitution twice two lifetimes in a row? Such a thing was impossible to the point of being nonsense.
"Is this a bad thing… Or a good thing?" Amphorae asked, partially worried.
If this Hypnos was such a narcissist, didn\'t that mean he\'d prefer for her to be asleep forever? What if one day she fell asleep, only to never wake up again?
"I was worried about a similar thing as well, or else I would have told you earlier." The Demon Sage said softly. "But, after learning yours and Dyon\'s story, I felt relieved. If it wasn\'t for your constitution, I would have killed that brat long ago."
