The arrays seed to have died down, which ant they were probably triggered by sothing specific. Pushing his luck, Sage had the Serpent approach the Well, ready to escape at the first sign of danger. When nothing happened, he grew only more curious until finally the Twin Ringed Serpent poked its head under that small roof and turned its eyes downwards to peer towards the bottom of the well.
Zing!
Right when the Serpents eyes dropped to the bottom of the well, it felt like a vicious beam of energy had zipped through Sages head. It shot into his eyes, through his mind and directly into his soul, rattling his very being. His thoughts started to grow slower, his senses suddenly dull, it was like his mind was drowning. Terrified, he moved his spirit power to try and clear his mind. Inside his spiritual sea it was like a heavy fog had rolled in, covering everything in a layer of confusion. Through the link he felt that the sa thing was happening to the Twin Ringed Serpents Soul and the Twin Soul as well, both of them shrouded in a ntal fog. Having learned from his previous experience, Sage quickly maneuvered his soul into the light from the Seed of Life.
His soul was lost in the haze, but he still rembered the direction that the Seed was in and his soul moved on instinct before suddenly floating into that green light. The area that the Seed of Lifes light covered was only half the size as it used to be, but not a wisp of that fog could get inside it. Sages mind cleared almost instantly once his soul flew into that light. It seed he should leave his soul within the effect of the Seed of Life to protect his mind in the future.
With his mind clear, Sage focused on the outside world and looked down into the Well. Since they were already under the water there was no surface layer to cause reflections and hide the bottom from him. What he saw was what looked to be an eye about twenty feet down. It was half closed and staring upwards like the Well was rely a tube a giant was looking down. Surprised, Sage felt his soul stir as he gazed at the eye. He wasnt sure what it was, but it was definitely sothing unique in order to be surrounded by all this array and protected by the Lake of Souls.
Observing carefully, Sage split his attention and started searching his reference books and starting with those that listed the most rare, unique, and powerful objects that could be found in the world. None of the reference books that were in his Storage Ring seed to detail anything like this, but then Sage rember that hed had a couple dozen mory Spheres piled up in a cabinet which hed only glanced at. At the ti he learned what they were from that appraisal house, Sage was barely able to even read their titles and the majority of them had requirents in order to open them. Nearly half of them had sothing about Inheritance in their titles and quite blatantly said that only a destined successor would be able to access them. When he later learned more about mory Spheres he realized they were quite fragile and anyone who tried to force open their locks would rely end up with a pile of dust. It was the reason that most secret and sensitive information was kept on mory Spheres even though they were many tis more costly than other storage thods.
He only just now rembered as one of those mory Spheres had the title Heavenly Treasures and at the ti Sage couldnt view it because it listed a requirent of being a rank 3 cultivator. As it had taken him more than ten years to reach rank 3, he had completely forgotten about the mory spheres but now that the treasure was in front of him and he was searching everywhere he stumbled upon the spheres. With his mory jogged, Sage picked out the sphere he was looking for and moved the others over to where he was storing all the spoils from the earlier rooms. He planned to give it all a thorough searching later.
Heavenly Treasures
When very special conditions are created and the energy of the heavens vastly overpowers that of the earth, it can give birth to suprely unique treasures. Similar to how Spirit Plants or Spirit Animals can beco more powerful and eventually gain intelligence and transform into higher beings; the Heavenly Treasures are evolved forms of the special elents and energies of the world.
Reading this mory Sphere was like being inside a vast sea of words, like a floating database which he could peruse. The introduction was sowhat vague and inconclusive so Sage randomly picked a place and started reading. Heavenly Flas. They were special fires that used special energies as fuel and their temperatures were terrifying. Magma was but a candle in comparison to them and each one had its own unique properties. Quite interestingly, the list actually included the Holy Fla which he had heard ntioned in his Sect. It was listed in this information just as the rumors in the Sect said: it was excellent at cleansing and purifying. It was one of the strongest at removing evil influences and as the Holy Fla Sect Founder had used it: excellent at refining materials. Founder Suhou had been a renowned Alchemist and Blacksmith that used the Holy Fla to do things that nobody else could and used his fa to create the sect, a place where those who focused on their Professions wouldnt be taken advantage of.
The mory Sphere was filled with information, each Heavenly Fla listed not only its appearance and where it was usually found, but also so of the rumored special powers and also a few bits of information on those who had once possessed such flas in the past. These sections varied greatly, so had full biographies and detailed histories of well known figures while others rely listed a list of dates they were alive and a few of their major accomplishnts. The other thing he noticed was that all the records of people seed to be from quite a long ti ago, the most recent he could see was nearly three hundred years ago. It seed that this mory Sphere had been in the tomb for a long ti, or at the very least it was never updated with more recent news.
Since he was searching for sothing he stopped reading in detail and rely started flipping through the objects and reading just their descriptions before moving on to the next. After nearly a quarter hour of rapid searching, he finally noticed sothing that caught his attention.
The Eye of the World.
