Re: Timeless Apocalypse-Chapter 180: Dao Type and Golden Heart

With a thought, he inspected them, and their weaves unfolded before his eyes as multiple screens flashed into existence.

...

[Item: Rank Elevation— {Gradeless—Procedure}

~>Details: Accept to break into the F-Rank.]

—

Uriel read the words and nodded.

Without waiting, he accepted his rank elevation as he continued reading the weaves and descriptions of his rewards.

Unlike his regular evolutions, this elevation happened smoothly, soft winds gathering around him as strength poured through him, and he felt a barrier in his body shatter.

The aether in his cores shook, then shed their lesser natures, entering the true realms of F-Rankers and blooming with even more might.

All his talents, characteristics, and traits seemed to take a step forward, roaring with power as his class, path, and frames released just a bit more of what they held.

The sensation was incredibly pleasant.

[Item: Elemental Heaven Star Pill— {Jade}

~>Details: Upon consumption, will fully unveil the elemental potential of a core and will allow the user to study elemental branches by observing their own cores.

•The Pill will directly grant one mastery over one major branch of each element upon being consumed.

•Note(I): Can only be consumed by those who have completed Elemental Anchoring.

•Note(II): If the user’s soul is not powerful enough, the chosen Elemental Path may shatter it, so it is advised to choose carefully.]

——

Uriel smiled.

’Well isn’t that amazing?’

He remembered the endless branching paths he had seen back in the cave when he first tested his elements.

It had been so overwhelming to witness that, back then, he had simply decided to put his elements aside until he truly had the time to dive into it.

Uriel knew that Elemental Control was the true path of aether mastery, and he was also aware that, had he mastered even a portion of his elements, half the things that transpired in the desert would not have happened.

This was the perfect opportunity to begin.

CRACK!

He threw the pill into his mouth and bit down, feeling thick streams of energy flood his tongue before he swallowed.

He felt his three cores shake and rattle as yet another layer of transformation erupted deep within him, his power rising as the aether around him sparked into his own elements.

Golden mist, dark fog, and sand vines rose to fill his surroundings.

’Hm. This all reminds me of the Jade Source Rewards I got from my core formation—’

Of course, he hadn’t forgotten, nor had he forgotten about his pioneer rewards.

’—I’ll probably have to wait until Ophanis wakes up so I can go through it all with her.’

His attention returned to the screens.

...

[Item: Traveller’s Trusted Garb— {Bronze}

~>Details: The Traveller has seen all skies, traversed all lands, and sailed across all seas and oceans—and soon, he shall explore the chaotic waters of the void.

•And for such a journey, what better attire than his old and trusted garb, once torn and now a collection of all his travels?

•The journey will soon begin!

• >Enchantments: Warm Embrace {Gold}, Weathered Pocket {Silver}, Tenacious Past {Diamond}, Stubborn Desire {Jade}

—

Uriel was taken aback.

’A bronze artefact with enchantments that are that much higher than its own grade? How is that even possible?’

As Uriel understood it, the grade of any artefact reflected the amount and quality of enchantments an item could withstand.

A bronze artefact could easily handle iron and bronze enchantments, but it could also handle silver enchantments, though that would push it to its limits and reduce the number of iron and bronze enchantment slots available.

The most Uriel had seen was that—an artefact having an enchantment only a grade higher than its own.

But this...

’Oh my, it seems these quests are worth doing. It’s unfortunate I don’t get many.’

His attention returned to the unfolding screens.

—

>Enchantment: Warm Embrace {Gold}

~>Details: The garb warmly embraces the traveller across all lands, across all heavens and hells, and through it all, the Traveller remains whole.

>The garb is a steadfast knight of unity.

•The Garb protects you from all and any hostile environments by forming a passive force field that is constantly changing, evolving to counter the world.

•As long as enough aether is provided, all environments can be weathered.

...

>Enchantment: Weathered Pocket {Silver}

~>Details: The garb has many pockets meant for storage because, of course, a traveller must always rejoin the road heavier than he once left it.

•The garb has many spatial pockets where one can store various rare items and unseen materials. The pockets will evolve to perfectly conserve and fit the item.

...

>Enchantment: Tenacious Past {Diamond}

~>Details: The traveller often encounters rowdy merchants, evil pirates, and rude bandits—through it all, he must remain whole.

>And so must the garb.

•The garb possesses extremely high defenses and can instantly be mended once torn, as long as enough aether is provided.

...

>Enchantment: Stubborn Desire {Jade}

~>Details: The Garb is a ship that has lost its glory, time having torn every piece of its divinity, forcing the traveller to mend it with the mundane.

>Its soul remains divine, yet its flesh is now mortal. But it can rise once more.

•The Garb has the potential to evolve.

...

Uriel finished reading the enchantments and was left with mixed emotions.

One of the two remaining cubes in front of him burst, and from it, a thick dark grey robe fell into his palm. It was dense and ridiculously heavy despite its size, patched from dozens of different colors that showed its age.

’Hm. So it’s a worse version of my scholar’s tunic but without its flaws. If I could fuse the two, it’d be perfect.’

An idea he had buried deep in his mind surged.

His hands gripped the garb, and he smiled.

’Once I’m done with my mage circle project... I’ll have my second moon, and once I’m done with this, I’ll have my third.’

With a flick, he bound the garb to his core and stored it away.

He had many plans that would soon come to fruition.

’Alright, let’s see.’

He looked at the final screen.

...

[Item: Maestro’s Seed {Dao Type — Seed}

~>Details: The Maestro is born, but the maestro is young, and youth is nothing but uncertainty and the search for greatness.

>But the Maestro must be greater than great.

•Consume seed to begin forging your Heart of Gold.

•Note(I): It is recommended one consumes the seed before breaking past the Mortal Step.

•Note(II): It is recommended that one forms a Golden Heart before breaking past the Mortal Step.]

...

The last cube shattered, and a small black seed fell into his hands.

He rubbed his thumb across its smooth surface, eyeing it with endless curiosity.

’Dao Type and Golden Heart? Hm.’

He threw the seed into his mouth and swallowed it.

’Maybe it’s something that helps my spark to—’

His eyes suddenly widened.
