Book 8: Chapter 113: Scent (1)
Dyon felt a wave of fatigue overwhelm him, maybe he would have fallen over if it was for a familiar silver-blue haired petite figure catching him.
Ri didn’t mind the oily fat nor Dyon’s nude body, she simply held him as though she was trying her best to suffocate him below the dark ocean waters.
At that moment, a crackling sounded behind the couple.
Dyon weakly turned his head to witness a scene he would never forget in his lifetime.
The Jafari Clan treasure trembled. The ball of light hovering within its ancient arc pulsed, squeezing down to a fine point.
A whirlpool of water violently began to churn. At the pace it started, it felt as though it would drain Dark Ocean completely before it was satisfied.
Then it happened. A concentrated blast that seemed to hold the entirety of all that was shot through the whirlpool and into the skies, tearing through even the fabric of space.
The speed was unimaginable, so fast that Dyon hardly understood what happened.
A veil of black quickly covered 30 universes worth of ocean waters, blanketing the dark skies and enshrouding the waters. But then, in the next instant, it disappeared. Everything returned to normal as though nothing at all had occurred. There wasn’t even a sign that such a mind-numbing event had ever occurred.
For a moment, Dyon thought that it had all failed. However, Little Yang thought different.
‘What a display of power…’ He mumbled to himself.
Little Yang with all his affinity for space and time couldn’t comprehend how such a treasure could appear on the Mortal Plane.
‘It worked?’ Dyon asked.
‘Of course. This area is practically its own Plane of existence now. Unless you give someone the coordinates, it’s impossible for them to enter through normal means. Even the Void Clan can’t create Void Tunnels to this place.’
Hearing these words, Dyon finally felt a burden lift from his shoulders, but that only made him more tired. He really… really wanted to close his eyes.
‘The best part about the Jafari Clan treasure is something you haven’t really considered yet.’ Little Yang said with a hint of lure in his voice.
‘And what is that?’
‘A problem many conquerors face when they lay claim to new universes is their arrangement. In the past, it was incredibly difficult to travel between universes. This was usually done with teleportation formations, but this was incredibly expensive. Not everyone can outfit their teleportation formations with origin cores like Soul Rending Peak and the Celestial Deer Sect has…’
Dyon eyes flashed. He suddenly remembered that what Little Yang said was true. The Master Key arrays, Dyon never had to put energy stones into them because they all had origin crystals as their energy source. Now that he thought about it, he should have been more shocked by such a truth.
Origin crystals were items that could only be used by transcendents for cultivation. To use them to power a planet grade formation… It was like building an entire power plant meant to sustain a whole country for the sake of a calculator.
After being reminded about this, Dyon trembled. What if he took those Origin Crystals and used them to power the immortal puppets instead? Wouldn’t he be undefeatable? Who could stop a puppet with the strength of a transcendent?
However, maybe because fate was playing tricks on him, he realized how unfeasible it was a moment later.
First, the laws of the mortal plane would never allow something with the power of a transcendent to exist. How the entity skirted these rules, Dyon had no idea. However, Dyon knew that he didn’t have the means to replicate this feat.
Second, the energy usage of the immortal puppets was obscene. Dyon had a feeling that though the origin crystals could power the planet grade teleportation formations to near infinity, they would only give him a few minutes with the immortal puppets anyway. So, even if he could use them in this way, he’d have to be very selective about when he did.
‘… The gates give a false impression that universes and quadrants can be “next” to each other, when the reality isn’t like this at all. Universes are pockets of reality all to themselves, they can’t be “next” to each other. There are just some universes that have similar wavelengths of existence that make them easier to connect.
‘Quadrants are simply a group of universes which share similar wavelengths, thus resulting in them being groups together. In this same way, you can say the 76th quadrant and the 99th are “next” to each other because their quadrants are on similar wavelengths of reality.
‘Using this truth, gates connect these similar universes, making a path between them. But, the Jafari Clan treasure is on a completely different level.
‘Are you wondering how a mortal can simply connect 30 universes like this? It’s precisely because the Elvin Kingdom made use of the Jafari Clan treasure to replicate this feat.
‘The appeal of the Jafari Clan treasure isn’t just in the fact that it provides an almost perfect protection. The true appeal is in building a cohesive, interconnected kingdom that isn’t weighed down by the headaches of void barriers.
‘With the Jafari Clan treasure, you can connect universes of vastly different wavelengths with absolute ease, all you have to exchange is 999 days and the appropriate amount of stones. As long as you wish it, the next universe you use this treasure with can directly connect to Dark Ocean seamlessly.’
