Secondly, energy stones were the core of all large-scale formations. Dyon had no use for them in this facet thanks to the Sage Tower, but that was irrelevant. The point was that this made them valuable to other people!
Soon, the Federation would be heading to the Sprite Alliance. Dyon was only planning on using it as an extended vacation, but why not take advantage of so people and see if the Sprites had anything of value for him to plunder?
These two reason were only minor and hardly influenced why Dyon was happy seeing these ten rings…
To put things into perspective, the lowest level star grade resource was worth about a billion enigmatic stones. The Celestial Deer Sect would never transfer all of their wealth into energy stones, so this ant that what was here was only a fraction.
Simply put… The Celestial Deer Sect found that the equivalent of 1000 star grade resources was only the very tip of their wealth. Imdiately realizing this, how could Dyon not feel a bit of anticipation as he moved on to the other spatial rings?
It didn't take long for his thoughts to pan out just as expected.
Just the first ring Dyon picked up filled his mind with an image of a world of Tiless and Spaceless stones.
Usually, a universe would produce just enough of these resources to allow the Jafari Clan Treasure to protect it. However, mining them was both dangerous and ti consuming. Dyon often had to do it himself so as not to put the lives of others at risk. Still, it was very much worth it in the end.
However, this spatial ring alone… It had enough Tiless and Spaceless stones to enshroud over 500 quadrants!
After feeling a jolt of happiness, Dyon couldn't help but frown.
'What reason did the Celestial Deer Sect have to collect so many Tiless and Spaceless stones?
'… The space half of the Jafari Clan treasure was kept by the Mino Clan, and the Ti half of the Jafari Clan Treasure was kept by the Demon Sage… How are these things related?'
Dyon's frown deepened. He once more felt like he was being strung along.
The Mino Clan were the subordinates of the elves, so this much made sense, at least in part… But the Demon Sage should have been unrelated to the alliance of the elves and Celestial Deer Sect.
However, the more Dyon thought about it, the more… convenient everything seed. Too convenient, in fact.
If the Demon Sage had never had the Ti half of the Jafari Clan treasure, he would have been able to build that stable environnt in the depths of Chaos Universe, nor would he have been able to essentially freeze Amphorae's aging as he had.
Without those things, at the very least, Dyon and Amphorae would have missed each by several generations…
Dyon's thoughts fizzled out, once more without a proper conclusion. In the end, he simply continued to the next rings.
A single Tiless or Spaceless Stone was already worth dozens of enigmatic stones, but it seed the Celestial Deer Sect hadn't yet finished showing off its wealth.
The next rings were of nothing but planet and star grade spiritual herbs. In fact, so of them had already long been extinct. One in particular caught Dyon's attention instantly.
'… Nine Cloud Yang… Could it be that Jade had co here?'
The Nine Cloud Yang spiritual herb, despite only being of the Planet Grade, had long since gone extinct. As a result, if it were to appear now, it would be even more valuable than many star grade resources.
Dyon had always wondered how Jade got her hands on it, but after realizing that she ca from a different tiline, he wrote it off and ignored it. But now…
There was a clearly defined empty space in this spatial ring. It was an oddity that imdiately stood out since every ring prior had been perfectly filled to the brim.
And this empty space… it was just enough to fit the body of a single Nine Cloud Yang flower…
If it hadn't been for this aphrodisiac, Dyon would have never understood the true strength of his Primordial Yang and maybe he would have already died to Oshire's hand. To think that Jade had retrieved it from this place.
Dyon wasn't surprised that Jade knew of this location. After all, she had followed him through his life in the tiline, it wasn't that much of a leap for her to know the general location of this place. But the realization that her existence had been very much real… made it all the more difficult for Dyon to accept her disappearance.
In a lot of ways, Jade was almost ethereal to him. A golden-haired fairy that fluttered into his life before fluttering away without a word.
Her disappearance pained him, but he had gotten very good at ignoring that pain, pretending as though she was just so fleeting dream.
But this empty space in this otherwise full spatial ring… It made him feel as though a giant was stomping on his chest.
In that mont, Dyon forgot entirely about the pain in his body. His sadness being slowly taken over by rage.
He couldn't fail. Not again. He wouldn't allow the won he cared for to sacrifice themselves just because he was too incompetent.
He had felt it multiple tis over the past few years, but he was losing his sharpness. He was becoming too careful, too timid. To think he, Dyon Sacharro, had actually let Diasho Ren off without finding what happened that day… To think he, Dyon Sacharro, would let the three Heads of the 99 universes who made his life hell live just for the sake of sche… To think he, Dyon Sacharro, would beco so weak.
Maybe this was why he failed in the last tiline.
Why had he run? Why hadn't he fought? What if a different choice would have changed everything?
Dyon's slouching back straightened, a wild, maddened aura wafting from his body. Though he didn't notice it, the Dao Heart, shimring a beautiful rainbow radiance, grew another step in its own luster.
