BXBX NOVEL Chapter 503 - Clue To...
He had enough mana stones, the amount of nutrition serums he had obtained from the foreign race\'s spatial rings was not few either, and his equipment was perfectly fine.
\'While translating the foreign race\'s cultivation, body refinement, and martial art techniques, I can simply create a copy for myself or imprint everything in my mind. The Floating Sky technique should already be the best movement technique anyone could have here, and I doubt that there is a better fire body refinement technique for now.\'
Jason only required three things. A proper cultivation technique for the future, and a strong martial art technique with which he could execute his entire strength.
The Devious Swordmaster technique he had practiced for some time might be strong, but it held him back.
At least, that was how he felt.
Other than that, the most important thing he required was time!
It might sound simple, but the thing he really needed to become stronger was something he didn\'t have- time.
There was no way for him to liquefy thousands of mana drops in a matter of weeks, that was simply not how it worked.
At least not in the environment he lived in, Argos was just unsuitable for such a feat!
Though his speed of doing so was pretty decent, Jason felt that there was room for improvement.
He was sure that he could accelerate the pace at which he liquefied his mana, but the scarcity of mana coupled with the fact that it was not even pure prevented him from achieving this.
For now, Jason had no other option but to stay on Argos and without being able to enter a different world that had a higher quantity and quality of mana, Jason was not sure how long it would take for him to reach a threshold of accelerating his pace.
As such, Jason pondered for a moment on how to articulate his requirements and club them together in one simple condition for translating the big clans\' manuals.
"To put it simply, I can translate every manual completely. However, instead of handing out everything at once, I will hand over the first pages of the manual I translate! In exchange for more pages, I want the big clans to support the citizens, help in the rehabilitation of the archipelago without waging another war or conquering other lands.
It might sound ridiculous to some of you, but mankind needs every bit of help they can get right now. If I can motivate all of you to work hard towards a common goal in exchange for the translated version of the foreign race\'s manuals, that should be perfectly fine with everyone!"
Upon hearing him, Nathan Silver, the patriarch of the Heaven\'s Eyes sect got up from his seat and asked,
"That means in exchange for maintaining peace, you will hand out a few translated pages of the technique we want, correct? That will probably be done once every few months until every big clan has regained some of their former strength to harbor peaceful relations with each other without you forcefully attempting to do the same.
Once that is done, the entire translated versions will be revealed to the big clans that gave you the manuals of the foreign races, am I right?"
Jason stared into Nathan Silver\'s silver eyes before he released faint traces of mana into his own, golden-silverish eyes that had begun to glow faintly.
"Correct" he stated matter of factly as he released his mana eyes\' abyssal effect.
He was not sure what was going on, but Nathan\'s aura felt similar to that of a ferocious beast that was about to pounce at him and rip him apart.
Thus, he had activated his mana eyes\' abyssal effect.
However, only a moment later, Nathan\'s silver eyes were enveloped in a faint purple hue as he activated his psychokinesis affinity.
Under normal circumstances, a simple psychokinesis affinity wouldn\'t have been enough to deflect Jason\'s abyssal ability, but Nathan\'s affinity had unique properties.
This allowed him to erect a wall around his mind that safeguarded him from external factors affecting his mind.
Jason assumed it to be similar to his mana eyes\' natural passive ability which caused him to nod his head faintly as a means to apologize.
But, just as he was about to sit down, he heard Nathan asking, "Is your family name Stella??"
It was as if Nathan was astonished, and almost utterly dumbfounded by the assumption he had in mind.
When Jason heard this question, he stiffened before he looked up again as he answered in a straightforward manner.
"Yes! And I guess my mother had once belonged to your sect, is that correct?"
Since the day he had heard about the heaven\'s eyes sect, Jason had assumed that his mother had once been a part of the sect.
Seeing Nathan\'s reaction to Jason\'s words, made it apparent that something Jason didn\'t know had happened in the past.
Though he had assumed Jason to reaffirm his doubt, he was astonished nonetheless. The patriarch of the heaven\'s eyes sect was able to regain his composure only a few seconds later as he cleared his throat before stating,
"If we\'re talking about the same person...yes. But Mina and her parents left us several decades ago!"
Jason\'s expression didn\'t change a tiny bit, but his soulbonds and even Anna, who was quietly lying inside his arm were able to feel the emotions churning within him.
\'They left the sect? But why are you so nervous then?\'
Owing to his mana eyes, he could clearly see how flustered Nathan Silver was. Despite Nathan restricting his mana fluctuations, Jason perceived how unstable they were.
This was one sign of being extremely nervous about something.
If someone were to simply leave a sect, one wouldn\'t be flustered, but sad, or maybe even relieved.
There might have been a reason for his mother and grandparents to leave, but the patriarch of the heaven\'s eyes sect behaved oddly.
Jason\'s calm demeanor surprised Nathan a lot, but instead of causing a ruckus and questioning him about what he knew, or trying to explain everything by cooking up a lie, he resumed his seat.
Jason did the same, but instead of bothering to think about Nathan and his behavior, he was curious to know more about his grandparents as he had heard something about them for the first time.
\'Are they still alive?\' He wondered before his eyes locked with Nathan Silver\'s once again.
Smiling lightly as if nothing had happened, Jason made up his mind.
Several hours passed before everyone agreed to the proposal Jason had put forth.
They created a loose alliance with every big clan and sect in attendance while keeping the doors open for others to join.
Teaming up with others meant that everyone would be forced to help others to a certain degree while establishing trading agreements to become more resourceful!
Every big clan could live independently, but the resources some had to use in order to grow plants or raise cattle were higher in mountainous areas which also held deposits of more ores and other resources.
As such, one could save on lots of expenses, which were previously ignored.
Fortunately, even the otherwise hostile big clans decided to join the loose alliance to reap the benefits.
After that, everyone handed over the manuals they wanted to have translated by Jason.
Jason saw reluctance and doubt in their eyes, which showed that they knew that it was possible for the young man to betray all of them.
However, the faintly released aura enveloping Jason made this reluctance vanish into thin air.
Once he got his hands on every manual, Jason decided to translate them completely before handing out the first few pages during the next few days.
At the same time, his mind was lingering on the fact that Nathan Silver had known his mother and grandparents.
\'Even if something is suspicious, it looks like I need to have a good talk with the Heaven\'s Eyes patriarch! It\'s the first time I\'ve heard something about my grandparents after all!\'
