Chapter 750: Prospect

The terror continued to overwhelm him, growing to greater and greater heights. Sage fell down to his knees and was seriously considering begging forgiveness when the strange aura suddenly disappeared. The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.

Wahaha, nicely done! You resisted pretty decently, but you need to work on that backbone of yours. Seems like you only recently formed it, eh? After I fed that fellow his teeth all those years ago he became my best friend for many lifetimes worth of adventures. Respect is something you earn, not something owed to you. As for your question? Well, those little punks were making a mockery of our name. Serves them right to get a little respect beat into them.

Thank you, Ancestor. I suppose that you didnt want me trying to get revenge upon the Chong Clan?

Che. As if we care that much. The only reason you even got any help before was because Huang thinks it would be too shameful for our Clan to get wiped out completely. Those other guys would tease us, but who cares about that nonsense? Old as we are, our bloodline is spread all over the place, does it really matter if the names change? If they use other names then we wont get implicated by their screw ups.

Sage was knocked speechless by the blunt attitude of this ancestor. The others had been so enigmatic and mysterious, but not only had this ancestor answered his questions directly, hed answered them without a filter. Of course, there were allusions to things that Sage knew nothing about, but it was pretty obvious they considered this information above his pay grade.

Thank you for your guidance, Great Ancestor.

Surprisingly, the two female ancestors had both given him something. The second ancestor gave him a Storage Ring and he took this opportunity to send his consciousness inside. Things were nowhere near as organized as he was used to in his own storage treasures, but the small mountain of objects made for quite an impressive sight. Hed felt that hed entered a dragons hoard, except someone had traded all the gold coins for Spirit Stones. After battling with Jinxi Po, Sage realized how great of an effect wealth could have on battle prowess. He was lucky enough to not have to face anyone with such an abundance of riches before and it was quite an eye opening experience. The only people from first rate powers hed gone up against in the past were people from the Fu Clan and the Cult of the Woodlord. Lin Bao from the Cult of the Woodlord, as well as Fu Zedong were both young. Those big powers probably didnt want their youngsters relying on precious treasures to fight, or perhaps they had too many members and only gave the most important ones the good stuff.

It was a very different story when taking on the leader of a first rate power that had many thousands of years of accumulated wealth. Sage was finally able to see just how much of a difference having so much money could make. Jinxi Po had a lot more time to accumulate wealth, but he also had a bunch of rival factions that prevented him from taking the majority of the Chong Clans resources. So, Sage could only expect that the leaders of the other first rate powers would have just as many expensive treasures as Jinxi Po, if not more. With that in mind, what sort of stuff would the Royal Family have?

The Inner World had Spirit Stones that he could collect, but hed looked into that in the past and realized that there was a sort of fixed system in place. More Spirit Stones would only form on the Inner World when those already present were expended. In the outside world they seemed to form in places with great Qi density, and as long as the core of the mine wasnt removed they would continue to grow and form there. Sages Inner World on the other hand seemed to have some sort of fixed supply. Any Spirit Stones he brought to the outside would reduce the total number on the Inner World, permanently.

Hed only learned this after doing a few experiments, at which point he learned that the total number seemed to coincide with the tiny motes of starlight out in the distance from his Inner World. Those little bits of Qi that were like the distant stars in a galaxy were the representation of his total Qi power. Over time, more of them were always coming into existence, but as he removed Spirit Stones from the Inner World, they were snuffed out. It was only then that he realized these Spirit Stones were sort of like the crystallization of his own Qi. Only, in the Inner World, just like time, the power was greatly magnified. The Inner World likely had billions if not trillions of Spirit Stones, and the amount of Qi contained within them all was exponentially larger than what Sage could exert in the outside world.

Its no wonder that a World Core is known as a very legendary thing. Its not just a world inside the body, but a compressed and magnified world.

Thankfully, this problem of limited resources didnt seem to apply to the plants and animals of the Inner World. He hadnt done enough tests to determine if minerals had the same limitation so he didnt start bringing out mass quantities of metal ore or special types of stone. What if losing them started draining his life force or his health? He had brought out limited quantities to supply the Lang Clan with everything they needed to get fully established and was waiting to see if there were any adverse effects upon himself.
