Chapter 1810 - Fake (3) (1/2)

Aoife and Stella who had been trying not ruin the proceedings realized that it was their turn to speak. After a quick explanation of what they experienced, Dyon's frown, which had finally relaxed, came back in full force.

'Death qi?... Why would death qi be here of all places? Could it be Junior?'

Junior's Death God constitution wasn't normal by any stretch. Due to the fact he had taken Orcus' bones, it was far easier for him to shoot through the grades of his constitution. This was only made more certain by the fact his soul talent should be just as powerful as Dyon's. Theoretically, that is.

But, it seemed too exaggerated for Junior to be the reason the Life Stone wasn't working properly.

From Dyon's memory, he remembered learning about the life stone from the statues in the Valley of Geniuses. However, they only alluded to it. Due to restrictions they faced, they couldn't tell him the truth behind it. It wasn't until Dyon came back and entered the Celestial Beast's mystical world that he came to understand that the core of its world was the Life Stone.

However, even then, Dyon learned something else even more poignant.

Every treasure of the 33 heavens had one active ability and one passive ability. This passive ability was what made them half legendary treasures, legendary treasure being the only treasures in existence capable of acting without the interference of an owner. While the active ability requires the active help of a wielder.

For example, the Energy Core. Its active ability allows for the control and storage of all energies. However, its passive ability allowed the stabilization of spiritual veins, allowing them to grow past their normal limits. Technically, it shouldn't be just spiritual veins it could replicate this feat with, but all kinds of veins, including devil veins and energy stone mines, etc.

The Seal is another example of this. Its active ability allows for the sealing of all things under the heavens. However, its passive ability protects the mind of its wielder, allowing Dyon to be immune to mental attacks and mind reading. This was how he so easily ignored Glorianice's attempt to enslave him.

This pattern can be said again and again with treasures of the 33 heavens, even the soul tome whose active ability allowed the instant mastering of techniques and had an active ability that cleansed and healed souls. Or the aurora steps that had an active ability that paralyzed an enemy's soul, or a passive ability that awakened one's aurora.

However, this pattern ceased with the Life Stone… Or rather, while the passive ability of the Life Stone was known, information about its active ability was lost in time. Of course, one could make guesses at to what it was, but for now, it was a complete unknown.

This intrigued Dyon when he first learned it, but since he hadn't had the celestial hamster twins by his side back then, he had no way of finding out this secret. By the time he did have the twins by his side, he had more pressing matters to worry about, especially considering he couldn't just take the life stone for himself since it was acting as the core of a mystical world.
