Chapter 1187: Legacy Inheritor
A quasi-spirit treasure is a unique type of treasure that not only has a high affinity with laws but also possesses a nascent treasure spirit born from the very same law affinity it was made with.
A nascent treasure spirit only has the basic instincts of a proper sentient treasure spirit. While not as powerful or profound as a fully sentient treasure spirit, this spirit grants the treasure special abilities and properties related to its law.
Nonetheless, it was still way above the level of ordinary treasures without any quasi-spirit or treasure, which are primarily crafted based on materials and techniques.
There was also an old legend about the quasi-spirits, which was an ancient technique of forgers that allowed the spirit within a quasi-spirit treasure to be nurtured and grown, eventually reaching a level of sentience. Legend has it that this process requires a deep connection between the creator and the treasure, as well as a constant infusion of Qi.
However, no one was ever able to achieve it, and forgers no longer believed in it.
Anyhow, testing a treasure to see if it had a quasi-spirit was fairly simple. The Quasi-Spirits were purely driven by their instincts, unlike true treasure spirits, who were capable of reasoning.
For some reason, a quasi-spirit’s most powerful instinct is always protecting its creators, even if it means destroying them in the process!
At this moment, when the Spirit Guardian suddenly attacked Ace with an Ascension Warrior realm power, Ace was about to act when he suddenly stopped because the Spirit Aqua Armor in his hand suddenly released a powerful hum.
The very next moment, the armor trembled, and the runes on it lit up. The armor instantly turned into an azure liquid and spread around Ace, completely enveloped like a bubble of water!
At this moment, the palm reached Ace and directly clashed with the azure liquid. The palm couldn’t pierce the liquid at all. Instead, pulsing ripples appeared on the surface of the liquid, and the Qi palm started to lose its momentum like an arrow shot into the sea before it lost all its power.
Ace was shocked when he witnessed this unexpected scene. He was still enveloped in the liquid, which gave him an extremely warm feeling of astonishment.
At this moment, the liquid churned and suddenly retracted into the shape of the Spirit Aqua Armor, which was now tightly wrapped around Jacob’s upper body. However, the runes on the armor seemed slightly diminished, and this was because the armor had used its own power to deflect the attack on Ace without any support. freēwēbnovel.com
Ace couldn’t help but touch the smooth surface of the azure armor. He felt a vague sense of accomplishment from the armor as if it had served its purpose.
“Reservoir Abortion. It was indeed the third mystic ability of Water Law that the Spirit Aqua Armor just showcased to protect you.” The Spirit Guardian suddenly spoke and this time a hint of elation was present in his eyes, “Congratulation, you have formed a true Ascension Quasi-Spirit Grade-1 Treasure. You are qualified to become a Legacy Inheritor and take the legacy trials to inherit Grandmaster Smith’s legacy!”
Ace was astounded when he heard ‘mystic ability’ from the Guardian Spirit and quickly asked, “A treasure can use mystic abilities of laws?” He was far more curious about this than about acquiring the qualification of inheriting the legacy.
The Guardian Spirit was also somewhat surprised but replied nevertheless, “Indeed, a Quasi Treasure Spirit or True Spirit is born from the laws. You can even say that they had the blessing of laws the moment they were born.
“So, they can utilize the mystic abilities of laws like living beings, depending on their power and law affinities. But there is still a vast difference: depending on a treasure’s nature, the mystic ability it acquired would also change to match its properties.
“Like the Spirit, Aqua Armor is a defensive-type treasure with a Water Law affinity, so it would naturally have mystic abilities related to defense or the only defensive aspect of Water Law. If it was a sword, then I’m sure it had awakened a unique sword intent of water law.
“Anyhow, the power of mystic abilities also depends on a treasure grade, just like cultivation realms. Since the Spirit Aqua Armor grade is too low, it only has a single mystic ability, and the range of its power is also limited to that of Ascension Warrior.
“Lastly, unlike you, living beings, a treasured spirit can’t raise the efficiency of a mystic ability to cultivate a prime law and achieve a breakthrough; it always stagnates and decides upon the birth of a treasured spirit.”
‘Avos is also similar…’ Ace narrowed his eyes as he heard something new and asked, “Senior just said that we can raise the efficiency of mystic abilities to cultivate our prime law and achieve a breakthrough? Can you please tell me what this is about? Junior never heard it before.”
“It’s only natural that you haven’t heard it since you are still an Ascension Soldier. But when you become an Ascension Warrior and reach the Spirit Soul Integration realm, you will awake your inner space.
“At that time, you need to integrate your prime law into your cultivation foundation, and the quickest way to do so is to comprehend your prime law and awaken its mystic abilities. Depending on the nature and rarity of your prime law, the mystic abilities can vary, and how much you can get from a single mystic ability also depends on these factors.
“Like someone with the Prime Law of Space can probably reach the peak of Ascension Warrior as long as they can comprehend its first mystic ability to its highest proficiency or even go beyond.
“King Sects also have Law Sigils which record mystic ability comprehension of specific laws which allows cultivators of the same type of prime law to cultivate those mystic abilities in the shortest time depend on the cultivator comprehensible abilities. This is how they also ruled over the Mortal Ascension Heaven.
“If you want more information, I’m afraid your realm is still too low. But I can assure you that as long as you can acquire Grandmaster Smith’s inheritance, you won’t be ignorant to the secrets of Mortal Ascension Heaven anymore.”
Ace was flabbergasted when he heard the part about ‘Law Sigils’ that can help comprehend mystic abilities and even more shocked when he heard they were all in the hands of King Sects.
‘If it’s true, then no wonder those King Sects are so mysterious and powerful. Who would dare to offend them?’ Ace gravely thought as the King Sects were becoming more terrifying the more he knew about them.
“Thank you for your guidance, senior. I know what to do.” Ace still thanked the Stoic dwarf.
“No need; you’ll learn this eventually.” The Guardian Spirit nodded before he said, “Now, on to the main point. Since you are the inheritor of Grandmaster Smith’s legacy, I would advise you to keep this fact to yourself if you don’t want to be targeted by others with avarice.
“I’ll give the Legacy Token, which would allow you to take the five legacy trials with another Nominal Legacy Token to show to your sect so they won’t suspect you.
“But it won’t change the fact that you are still far from inheriting the entire legacy, and don’t be complacent since you would only have three chances to complete each legacy trial. If you fail even one of them, you’ll lose your qualification forever.
“Furthermore, you need to take those trials within a certain amount of time after completing one. Just like now, you are still not prepared for the first trial. You should first break into the Ascension Warrior Realm and when you can forge an Ascension Quasi Spirit Grade-2 treasure. Only then will you be capable of overcoming it!
“However, your time limit is that you can’t go past the age of a hundred, or you’ll lose your qualification. These are the rules set up by Grandmaster Smith, and no one can go past them!”
