Chapter 276: Lump of Clay
With the other two standing by to help if anything goes wrong, Sage took a deep breath and stepped forward. He thrust one palm forward, activating Cosmic Traction mid-way through his strike. The world seemed to ripple like it was made of water, washing over the Lump of Clay. With his other hand, he made a chopping motion, activating Cosmic Traction again, but only to the level of thickened air. It was the same sort of trick that King used to ignore wind resistance. It was like just barely dipping a finger into the water, or cutting it with a knife. Little resistance, and also little effect. He aimed for the center of the Lump of Clay, wanting to knock out whatever it was that was in the middle.
Disrupting space like this didnt really affect the objects in that space. He wasnt destroying or altering space, he just touched it and could use it for traction. Just like Kings wind blade, it was very difficult to use Cosmic Traction for an actual attack. Since he didnt know what was inside, he certainly wasnt going to just jab something in there and then let the two objects destroy each other when they ended up occupying the same space. The danger had led him to his current idea. Attempting to use two different densities of space to try and free whatever was trapped within.
Nothing happened.
When the ripples in space settled down again, the attempt was shown to be unsuccessful. Sage tried a few more times, varying the timing of his strikes. Thankfully, nothing terrible happened, but they were still unable to solve the mystery of the Lump of Clay.
I guess I have to try something a little more dangerous.
He called over King and Ruanfu, the three of them standing around the Lump of Clay in the form of a triangle. Theyd practiced this maneuver earlier, but Sage had been hoping he could free it on his own. With all three of them involved, if anything dangerous happened they wouldnt have any backup. Thinking that far, Sage brought out a trio of Charming Lance Beetles and had them stand ready to back them up. He looked over to King and Ruanfu and then nodded. All three of them threw a palm strike towards the Lump of Clay. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.
He took another look at the Beast Core in his hand and found nothing out of the ordinary. Due to its great luster, it was from a beast of quite high rank, but that was all that seemed special about it. Instead he focused more upon the blue chunk. He took a step closer and then he felt that familiar pull. The Heavenly Materials within his body spun rapidly and the Seed of Life started to vibrate.
A Heavenly Material!
Sage pulled out a Memory Sphere and quickly looked through the list of Heavenly Materials. He flipped through the pages inside that virtual library until he found the right one. Putting the Memory Sphere away and smiling at the blue chunk in front of him. Blue Icesilver! Sage had never thought hed come into possession of any Heavenly Metals, but here one was right in front of him. Most Heavenly Materials required special conditions for a person to wield and control them. Heavenly Materials were more highly sought after because they could also be used by Blacksmiths to create weapons. A Heavenly Flame could be used to power refining efforts or cook alchemical pills, but the wielder needed to fulfill very specific and grueling conditions. On the other hand, a Heavenly Metal just needed a powerful Smith and they could be forged into an extremely powerful weapon that nearly anyone could use.
As rare as Heavenly Materials already were, the metals were even more in demand for this reason. Such legendary weapons could be passed down through a family for generations or act as the trump card for a large Sect. They could be amazingly powerful, and it was for this reason that they were extremely difficult to acquire. Blue Icesilver was actually one of the least valuable of the Heavenly Metals, so that was probably the reason there were no special methods of detecting it. The reason it was not as valuable, was because it was actually more suitable for having a wielder and not being forged into a weapon. It could still be forged, but the end results were always very subpar in comparison to the true legendary weapons.
On the other hand, it operated more like the other Heavenly Materials. The wielder supplied them with Qi and they fed on it, growing and multiplying. A torch sized Heavenly Flame would turn into a firestorm, a Heavenly Water that was a tiny chunk of ice would turn into a blizzard, and so on. The Blue Icesilver when given Qi would turn liquid, growing and changing shapes. Then it would freeze and turn into a brittle sort of icy metal. It was extremely versatile, though far less impressive than firing off huge lightning bolts, or creating a tornado of flame.
It was also exactly what Sage needed.
