Chapter 2073 Standing Pendulum
"As far as I am aware, there are 3 ways you can make use of multiple types of flames at once," Thunderspine said. "The first of which is the simplest. Simply make a treasure to hold the flame so you can use it through that treasure. The type of attack you can do with the flame is limited to the type of treasure you are using, but it does allow you to own two flames at once."
"The second way is to have it be a part of you. There are bloodlines and physiques out there that are capable of creating different types of fires. Although that is the least helpful of all, I suppose."
Alex had half his attention on the sect master now. The information was getting quite interesting. "What\'s the third way?" he asked.
"Creation," the man said. "Create a Creation for yourself with a certain type of Fire. At that point, even if you do learn a different flame and change your Intent around Fire, you can still make use of the first flame."
Alex raised an eyebrow. That… was a nice way. "A Creation, huh?" he said. Although, a Fire creation was not that good of an idea in his case. Would having a single Fire Creation, 2 Fire Creation, or 4 Fire Creation make any difference at all?
"I think I will just try to find a different flame when I have the chance," Alex said and continued looking through the list.
He spent a long time looking through all the names. Weapons, armor, shields, pills, formations, and all sorts of treasures were listed in there that Alex went through. Funnily enough, there weren\'t a lot of talismans. And even fewer items with scripts on them. Despite how long it had been since runes were an integral part of a cultivator\'s journey, it was still hard to be found within many of the Immortal realms.
Alex scoured the talisman in his hand for anything that appeared decent for him and finally landed on 4 of which he would be happy to get any.
[Barrier shattering Brick: An explosive brick that is capable of shattering any barrier within the Immortal rank]
An item that could destroy barriers was quite impressive and definitely something that could come in handy down the line.
[Starmetal Shackles: Shackles that, when put on a cultivator, stop one from actively using their physique or constitution.]
Alex went to see the shackles to learn more about it. The shackles were two metal bracers tied together by a chain. The entire thing glittered like the night sky and was quite pretty to look at.
Alex put the shackles on himself and tested a bit. He could definitely feel some sort of constraint on his body that wasn\'t there before. He tried to get rid of that feeling and found out that he couldn\'t do anything about it.
Alex tried using attributes from both his Sun God\'s Celestial Yang body and his Undying God\'s Physique. There was definitely a sort of disruption, maybe a slowing down, to the two physiques, but nothing was outright stopped. The Undying God\'s physique was definitely the more affected one of the two.
He read the full description of the talisman next to it and learned that the stronger the physique or constitution, the less effect the metal had on them. It appeared that was the reason why his physiques weren\'t fully stopped.
Alex looked at the shackles with a frown. It was definitely comparable in terms of importance to the brick.
He needed to check how it compared to the next two.
[Medium Transmigration Cloud: Cloud that can be wrapped around transportation vessels to make them capable of traveling through Space]
\'Traveling through space?\' Alex thought, curious. He went over and found the talisman for it. From what he read, the \'cloud\' was made of a light material that was also very capable of withstanding unfiltered sunlight using very little Qi. So, it was an incredible material to be put around one\'s ship to travel through space. Ordinarily, it also increased the speed and defense of any vessel that had this put around them, so even without space travel, it was a decent choice.
"What is \'medium\' here, sect master?" Alex asked. "How large are we speaking?" "Hmm… a Medium Transmigration Cloud should be enough for a ship that is less than 100 meters long and 50 meters wide. Any larger and you will have to find a Large Transmigration Cloud."
Alex took that into note.
A brick that broke barriers, a shackle that pacified physiques, and a cloud that helped in space travel. Everything here was so incredible that Alex didn\'t know what to choose. There were no obvious choices.
The choice became obvious when Alex read through the next item.
[Time-bound Standing Pendulum: an upside-down pendulum that oscillates at random speed. Can be used to sense Time aura and learn Time Dao]
The moment Alex read that all thoughts of the other treasures vanished from his mind. He walked over to the pedestal that held the storage bag that had this inside of it and pulled it out.
What came out was a metal contraption with all sorts of lines carved through it. It was a triangular box with the only moving part a thin metal rod at the center that stuck up.
It made a constant \'tick\' sound while it moved back and forth like a pendulum, only upside down. The \'tick\' sound came at variable intervals, which was quite unpredictable.
At the same time, Alex also sensed Time\'s aura coming off of that artifact, likely created by whatever it was doing to move the pendulum. He learned from the talisman next to the artifact that the pendulum always moved at the same rate. It was only because the rate of time was being messed around with, which caused the entire thing to sound so… random.
The aura he felt was quite uniform, and yet the \'tick\' sound he heard told him that it had to be anything but. Before he could even hope of learning the Time dao, he needed to be able to differentiate one aura from the next. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
He already had some training in that thanks to his aunt, but he needed a lot more of it, and a lot more constantly. \'I can\'t wait to get better at that,\' he thought.
There was a treasure trove of incredible artifacts and weapons in this secret realm that he could spend days learning more about and never get to the end of it.
Alex was pretty certain that the list he got wasn\'t even all the treasures. Most of the Divine treasures were hidden from the list. Still, what he managed to find, he gave up his entire fortune to get.
"I choose this, sect master," Alex said.
It was time to leave.
