Chapter 196: Taking Stock
Tao Ba gave Sage another deep look, his gaze seeming to pierce deep and lay bare all of Sages secrets.
You should have told me you could do that. You could have saved a lot of time.
Sage blinked, What do you mean? You also havent told me where we are. How did you come out of
Before he could finish, Tao Ba gave him another flick on the nose, I didnt. Youre still in the Universe Ring. Were in an area that you dont have the authority to be in. I made an exception to help you out Kid. You should be happy. I stopped you from eating all your bugs and beasts.
Eating all my...
Sage realized he was in his true form, and he was also much smaller than he used to be. At this point the memories of what hed been doing for the last year finally came forth and he couldnt help it. He started laughing at his own sad state, hunting bugs and eating fish in a lake. He truly had lived the life of an animal this time. Last time hed been a rampaging monster because of his own impatience and carelessness. This time hed been killed and kicked back down the food chain.
The Fu Clan will pay for this.
So, what did you mean about saving time?
Tao Ba pointed at his body and chuckled, The you now is a fresh creature. You lost all your cultivation. Your meridians have shrunk down to a normal size without any reinforcement from training and all your Qi Pores are closed again. Your dantian is empty, not a speck of Qi.
How is that good, or saving me time? Itll take me decades to return to what I had!
The white haired boy closed his eyes for a second and then smiled. Sage felt himself lifted into the air by an unseen force that felt like dozens of invisible hands. Tao Ba kicked the ground and it propelled him backwards at high speed. Flying into the air, Sage was dragged along behind the boy and got to see a magnificent view of a huge rainforest from above. He didnt have much time to admire it before they flew into a huge bank of mist and Sage could no longer see further than the tip of his own nose. They changed directions multiple times, so many times and so quickly that Sage lost track of where they were headed. Finally, they passed through the fog once more. Floating through the air, Sage recognized the lone building in the distance.
We really are inside the Universe Ring! This ring is even more amazing then I thought.
They flew through the air before finally landing in front of the building. Tao Ba walked in like he owned the place and passed through a few doorways. Sages giant body was forced to float around behind him like a pet, the invisible force pushing and prodding to squeeze him through the doorways. They stopped when they were standing in front of a glowing sphere, hovering in mid-air.
Found it. Seems like you werent lying. You little cheat, you even found some other Heavenly Materials to support it. Let me see Eye of the World, First Light, Stormbreath, and a Sovereign Stone. Very good. The Seed of Life will draw you towards other Heavenly Materials and you seem to be quite lucky to be able to collect so many. Im surprised you havent died before.
Sage had to ask and satiate his curiosity, quickly learning the details on what Tao Ba was talking about. He had an out of date reference material describing Heavenly Treasures, a Memory Sphere hed found in the special Storage Ring that he learned was a small piece of the Universe Ring. The Memory Sphere had random scatterings of information. It listed names, usual places to find them, and any known powers. It also had biographies of people who were known to have the Heavenly Treasures and what they did with them. That said, it was far from comprehensive, it was more of a very well detailed journal. It only had names for many of the Heavenly Treasures.
Tao Ba started to explain and then he got bored and just held up a hand. The tip of his finger started to glow and he reached forward towards Sage. Sage held very still, eager to receive the information. Then Tao Ba flicked him on the forehead with a different finger, startling Sage. Before he could complain, Tao Ba flicked him with the glowing finger and Sage was immobilized as a flood of information flowed into his head. The Heavenly Treasures list in that Memory Sphere was nothing compared to what he just gained. It only had knowledge on a hundred different Heavenly Treasures in detail, with another hundred or so with a few details and more with just names. The information that Tao Ba gave him had thousands of different Heavenly Materials, each with detailed descriptions of their appearance and powers, likely locations to find them, and most importantly the methods to collect and master them.
Eye of the World. The eyes are the windows to the soul. This eye is greater than all others and a world all to its own. It can shed tears that nourish the soul, strengthening spirits and other similar exististences. One of the Heavenly Waters.
First Light. The first ray of the dawns light came from this special fire. Night is ended when the sun rises and the first light of dawn is very powerful against creatures of darkness. The night, cold, and darkness are Yin related elements so their natural foil is Yang elements. The First Light is a very powerful Yang fire, a Heavenly Flame that is known for overwhelming those with strong Yin natures. On the other hand, just like the dawn it doesnt last for long. It had previously been sealed up inside an orb and mounted atop a pillar covered in array symbols.
Stormbreath. Breath of the storm. The fury of the wind and skies. A type of Heavenly Wind, it had been locked up inside a stone to reduce its power. Sage found it at the Soul Taming Abode. A user of the Divine Breath Technique found a way to embed the stone inside his lungs and draw on the energy that leaked out from the Stormbreath to empower his technique. Just like the First Light, the former owners couldnt master the Heavenly Treasures so they came up with workarounds to still gain some benefits.
Sovereign Stone. Lord and dominion over the earth. The Sovereign Stone sounds so very imposing, but in truth it is not all that powerful. Certainly, all Heavenly Treasures are quite strong, but in comparison to others this one is quite weak. Instead, it is the lord of all the Heavenly Jewels. Heavenly Jewels are earth natured Heavenly Treasures, and the Sovereign Stone can overpower and even control other Heavenly Jewels.
