Chapter 780: Treasured Crystal

A jade colored field of energy sprung up around his body and a blade formed at his wrist. He swept his hand down and the blade slashed clean through the crystal, aiming just far enough to the side to miss the darkened core. The two halves of the crystal fell apart and thudded onto the soft mat the crystal had been placed upon before this ordeal began. The larger of the two halves contained the dark core and now that it was revealed Sage felt a call from the emitted energy.

Hahaha! Just as I thought! Wonderful!

He couldnt contain his joy and his sudden exclamation caused the Pangs to laugh along with him. The only person that didnt seem joyful was the young girl. Her lower lip started to quiver and she stared at the crystal, her most prized possession, sliced in half in front of her. She suddenly broke into tears and Sage was shocked out of his joy. He realized how quickly hed acted and winced a little. Then he held up his hands, Aiyah, Im sorry Xiaxue! I acted without thinking. Your treasure is very important to me, and I just lost control.

For a few minutes he attempted to soothe the little girl, who was actually a plant many hundreds or thousands of years old, but then he couldnt help himself. The core was calling to him and he turned around to snatch it out of the crystal. The jade aura around his body protected his fingers, but then his Qi flowed into it and there was a loud rumble. The ground began to shake and the three standing beside Sage all thought they were being struck by an earthquake. The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.

We need to get out of here. Quickly!

It was a Heavenly Material that could be used to create a weapon of immense power, or perhaps used to create one of those legendary artifacts. Unlike other Heavenly Materials it was not something that converted one type of energy into another, nor could it control existing elements. It was a finite resource that could be used to create the most heaven defying equipment. Most Heavenly Metals fit this category, and they also happened to be far more common than most other Heavenly Materials. Since they were finite in quantity and extremely sought after this somewhat higher supply somewhat made up for it.

Yet, even if Heavenly Metals were the most common Heavenly Material, Sage still never expected to get his hands on any. If someone was crazy enough to want to sell some, they were the sort of thing that the Royals would get involved in and if they werent careful other Kingdoms or even those from the Imperial Capital might aim to get a cut as well. It was truly quite a lucky find to have it fall into his lap.

Sage felt his strength slowly increasing. Just like the Eye of the World and the Green Lifewater, the Solar Iron gave him a substantial boost in power because of its unusual properties. The Eye of the World constantly nourished his soul, converting some of the Qi that he was naturally generating at all times. The Green Lifewater used his energy to create lifeforce. This lifeforce infused water extended his lifespan and increased the potency of all the plants on the Inner World. The Solar Iron actually improved the rate that he generated Qi, drawing in greater power from the outside world and adding it to his own.

He was quite pleased with the results, but then he realized he still had a crying little girl to deal with so he brought out the two pieces of the crystal hed sliced in half earlier and pushed the two back together. A yellow light fell over it and he used the power of the Sovereign Stone to seal the parts into a single whole. He handed the big crystal over to Xiaxue and apologized again. She hugged the watermelon sized crystal to her chest like a stuffed animal then turned around, walking away while still bawling loudly.

Jiangbei tutted and walked after the little girl, reaching out to rub her back and console her with soft words. Pang Xie, the chubby crab just patted Sage upon the back and then walked after the other two with a smug smile on his face. Sage wasnt sure what was up with that silly crabs behavior. Did the guy think he was a dad now and was proud of how good a mother his wife was? Even his best guess felt completely ridiculous.

Oh well, Ive got better things to do. Shell get over it.
