Sky Fall Legend 80 Old Sigma 2

After three days, the team stopped by a small stream, and Jodye pulled out a C-Grade alchemy pot from his s.p.a.ce ring. He had initially thought this was just an ordinary cooking pot! However, during the ride, he noticed the various runic markings on this pot while he was going through his inventory. Merely, there was residue poison in the bowl that he had to resolve first. Jodye found himself suddenly missing his sky wolves and their many useful abilities and quirks.

"Xavier could absorb the residue of this poison and make us stronger with it, or Sylvester could simply devour it and refine it into only Gaea knows what," thought Jodye to himself. "Well, less of this. Time to refine some magic life pills!"

Jodye Trill did not possess a fire capable of making him an alchemist, nor was his origin energy powerful enough to produce true flames. However, the alchemy pot made all that irrelevant! As long as one knew how to program the refining sequence into an alchemy pot and adjust the required temperature, then anything within rank could be refined into a pill! Merely, the purity levels would typically be basic. It was different from using an actual alchemical furnace.

Jodye took several ingredients out of his s.p.a.ce ring and threw them into the alchemy pot. He mixed and ground the ingredients until there was a thick mucus-like liquid in the bowl, and then he put the lid on. Jodye chant in an ancient and mysterious language and the runes on the alchemy pot lit up and start to move around. Fifteen minutes later, Jodye removed the lid of the pot to reveal three crystal white longan sized pills.

"C-grade Magic Life Pills with 22% purity! How awesome is that? This is a pill strong enough to heal an expert on Oulan Mercy's level by fifty percent," Jodye Trill scrutinized the pills before handing one to Dessa as he said, "Here, give one to the brat so we can get out of here."

The Level 3 Vicious Flaming Stampedes traveled on for two weeks towards the south, stopping a few times along the way for water, rest, and food. After ingesting the C-grade magic life pill, Aiken Moon recovered in less than two hours! Jodye Trill ate a pill for himself, and his arm was fully restored as well! Aiken and Jodye hadn't spoken to each other since the former woke up. Luckily, Jodye had already taught Dessa how to ride a horse, so Aiken merely rode behind Dessa on the mount they shared. He occasionally cast a dark glare at Jodye Trill.

Noticing this for the hundredth time, Jodye was annoyed and decided to stop at the vast city he could see in the distance. The surroundings were slightly different now, so Jodye knew he had reached a new region. Previously, there was far more sand than vegetation. It was far more green here and reminded him a bit of the middle areas of the Eastern Badlands in the West Ward, where the trees grew taller. Jodye had been initially avoiding towns and cities. After varied experiences, he was nervous about social interactions as he had been living in the wild for the last few weeks.

However, it was a fact that they needed to settle down for a while. Jodye needed to collect materials and ingredients so that he could refine a few potions and elixirs. Like the Elixir of t.i.tanic Might! This was the most fundamental elixir to utilize when in the early stages of the t.i.tanic Rage Law. This potion contained such pure heaven and earth energy that had a mild slaughter force attribute. This was perfect for clearing out impurities from his spirit points!

Obtaining the ingredients for this was mandatory. Jodye had a feeling it would take quite a long time to achieve the next two levels. In the meantime, he also needed to remove the cursed fate seals of these two former slaves. This would officially grant them their freedom and allowing Dessa and Aiken to awaken their sage bloodline and host souls.

Upon reaching the city gates, the guards stopped Jodye and company from proceeding. One of the guards, a burly middle-aged man with tattoos, spoke to Jodye directly as if the other two were not there. This was because Jodye was dressed in beautiful blue brocade raiment and riding alone, while the other two were dressed in leather dress and jacket, "Blackheart City is currently under martial law. Voodoo experts have been terrorizing this area a lot lately, and the mighty lord Pharaoh has ordered additional protection for every hold at the border. Release your aura and state your ident.i.ty!"

Jodye Trill was caught off guard, but he actually felt this to be healthier than his previous experiences. How could the large cities allow voodoo pract.i.tioners to run wild, pillaging, raping, and murdering their men and women? At least there was finally some effort being shown. These people wanted to make sure he wasn't a vagrant voodoo expert. Thinking up to here Jodye released his magic force concept, a white magic atmosphere hanging around him, while the origin qi phenomenon above him formed 25 marble sized light spheres in the shape of a dragon's head.

Perfected Nascent level magic concept, 25 BP!

Jodye Trill was inwardly surprised by this when his divine sense picked up the phenomenon. He thought to himself, 'So the light sphere's take on the shape of our concepts maybe? It's like a mini-constellation, I wonder if it had any other purpose… it'd be great if it could resonate with astral forces.'

"I am Jupiter Trill. These are my two attendants. Please, permit us entry," Jodye Trill replied calmly to the guard.

"Wait. What is your purpose in coming into our Blackheart City?" A light twinkled in the eyes of the other guard in attendance when he noticed the appearance of this brat. This guard was younger and skinny, and he was smiling as he stopped the first guard before he could grant Jodye and company access. "We can't just let any old riff-raff into the city, can we? You should show your sincerity."

Seeing the way the younger guard was behaving the middle-aged guard frowned. However, he chose not to speak out in the end. The younger guard's background was a bit intimidating, even if the man himself didn't have a high status. Jodye Trill took all this in with knowing eyes. He had experienced plenty of shakedowns in his last life and even performed many himself. This attempt was brazen and shameless. Did they think he was some fat sheep? It seemed this guard directly wasn't placing Jodye in his eyes at all.

Jodye swept his divine sense past the two guards body and was able to notice their cultivation with a glance. The younger guard had an early-Earth Science realm sage path cultivation, and the middle-aged guard had an early-True Saint realm saint path cultivation. Their strengths were comparable to each other, but inferior to Jodye.

However, Jodye Trill honestly didn't want to cause a commotion at the gate. Thus, Jodye released both his origin and thunderbolt forces which stacked on top of his magic concept to form 71 BP, before he activated his Vajra Dragon combat seed making his BP rise to 86. Jodye glanced at this sage indifferently, and his mount kept walking, "I'm just pa.s.sing through. Please excuse me."

The younger guard paled as soon as he sensed the rising aura of Jodye and paled even further when he saw the silhouettes in the sky. Was this really the aura of a soph.o.m.ore rank sage? If he were a half-step into the Earth Science realm, this would be slightly more acceptable. He had seen geniuses of this caliber pa.s.s through these gates before. The brat didn't even seem tense, he was likely also holding back. However, this kid was clearly only at the peak of the Scholar Realm, the Perfected Soph.o.m.ore rank. At most he should have less than 50 BP, but how many lights were up there? A super genius! He was probably some sect's chosen! The younger guard realized that his dharma must be wrong, this was just too unlucky. He would have to live more responsibly shortly. Thus, he decided he shouldn't recklessly make strong enemies and moved to the side obediently.

Jodye was secretly impressed by the guard's immediate change of att.i.tude. This was a smart man that could adapt! Why would someone like this be a mere guard? Jodye was puzzled but had no intent to understand this. How could he imagine that this guard had misunderstood his background due to his display of talent? Jodye had never really met, nor put any other experts of his level in his eyes. After all, he was able to crush them as a baby. What did they amount too now that he was six-years-old? He only feared those experts approaching the mage level, as they could quickly kill him!

"Unless you have the citizens crystal, your mounts wait out here," commanded the middle-aged man once the previous commotion settled. Jodye frowned upon hearing that he had to reclaim his mounts only after he left the city. He would undoubtedly be robed! From Jodye's experience, this place was nearly lawless.

Martial Law? How controlling.

"Come on, guys," Jodye Trill didn't argue a bit as he steered his mount to the stables. After the youths dismounted, he led the way back to the gates and into the city. Behind Jodye, Aiken Moon was talking do Dessa in a hushed tone.

"You can't trust him Dessa, he's a vicious madman! You have to believe me," Aiken Moon was pleading in Dessa's ear for only the third time today. Her face, however, remained stoic. In Dessa's opinion, there were things this Aiken just wouldn't be able to understand right now. Aiken was determined, so he pressed on, "He's with that creepy guy who attacked you! A junior of his sect they said! He's only nice to you so he can deliver you to the sect master on a silver platter!"

"You're flattering me a bit too much, right? The sect master would want me? Why?" Dessa Chimes responded in a tone that feigned bemus.e.m.e.nt.

"The sword! It's your…"

"Enough!" Jodye Trill's frosty voice sent a chill down Aiken's spine that made him still immediately. This was a trick of serenity force Jodye had picked up from watching his mother. The most significant difference between the scholar realm and the earth science realm is the ability condense energy from laws in the atmosphere, and not just in the body. Jodye hadn't reached this level of 'force leaving the body' yet, but it was different if it was in a sound wave.

Jodye turned around walked up Aiken, lowering his voice to a near whisper, "You are reckless, foolhardy, and cowardly. You do not have good judgment ability or discernment skills. It is no wonder that you, the blessed child of a n.o.ble household, wound up dest.i.tute and stranded G.o.d knows how many miles from home…

"What's worse is that you seem nearly oblivious to your faults! Look at you, you even sincerely believe that I'm from that whatever little snake cove. Are you daft? Honestly, I do not dislike you, Aiken Moon," Jodye Trill paused and glanced at Dessa before continuing, "But your obsession with my hand is annoying. You are becoming a liability, compromising our safety and unity. Is that what you want? To harm me? To place us all in danger?"

"I…" Aiken Moon was briefly at a loss for words. After a breath or so had pa.s.sed he spoke with a dazed but aggrieved look in his eyes, "Sigh…maybe… I wasn't thinking it all the way through. But it doesn't change what you did to me!"

"Oh please," Jodye Trill simply didn't care that he beat Aiken up, "Do you think I'm only a little stronger than you? Listen, friend, you can choose to align with my interests or go another way. I will still remove your cursed fate seal, and your fate from there will be your own. However, if you ever threaten me again, then I am going to kill you."

Jodye said the end of his sentence word by word and each syllable felt like an ice blade to little Aiken who subconsciously shrunk back a little, but he didn't look away, "You um… you saved my life, Mr. Jupiter. Then you somehow saved us all again. If you can help me get home, then I'll do whatever you ask, I swear! I have to get home mister, I gotta!"

Jodye Trill sighed. He had nearly forgotten how pathetic this kid was. Life had been tough for an innocent youth like Aiken Moon, trapped in a world so different from his own. Jodye let go of his ego and relented, "Fine. I will see that you get home. However, your allegiance starts now! We can only travel to your home later. First, we must improve our strengths."

Aiken Moon nodded in full agreement. He knew that Mr. Jupiter was right about this. They were currently just too weak! If Mr. Jupiter hadn't been so witty that it even tricked Aiken himself, then they would've never escaped the Crimson Riders. If his parents were here, they could slaughter 1,000, no, 10,000 Chimes Estates and Crimson Rider teams.

To be subjected to such treatment by opponents so low in level was an insult to Aiken's heritage! A stain on his pride! Aiken knew he had to become powerful enough to remove this stain. Even though he previously hated Jodye for abusing him, he was secretly grateful. After the beating Aiken hated! He wanted nothing more than to be stronger. It was at that moment he realized he needed one thing more than anything else in the world.

Strength!

Nothing was more important anymore.

Jodye Trill looked at the light in Aiken's eyes and secretly nodded his head in approval. That proud glare, that hunger for more! That's what a genuinely ambitious warrior should look like. Cultivation was an arduous and unforgiving journey. To walk the path of the strong, what you needed was conviction!

Jodye could do nothing with this boy if he lacked it. Now, he was no longer so worried. Blackheart City was the largest city in this region of South Ward, and it covered a radius of ten kilometers. It was also the checkpoint letting people know that they had crossed over from the Fallen Star Region into the Star Reaching Region. The buildings in this city were made of stone and brick-like materials that gave Jodye a rustic feeling. It wasn't nearly as fancy as Saint Anubis City. Those buildings were more similar to the actual cities from Jodye's memories, just made from totally different materials.

After they walked past the guards from earlier, the three youths walked through the city streets of Blackheart City for the first time. Jodye's divine energy swept out and checked the cultivation levels of everyone within 200 meters. This was the strength of Jodye's divine sense after breaking through to the second stage of the Cosmic Vision Scriptures!

Jodye cultivated his divine source while they traveled and finally advanced a few nights prior. Now, as soon as he entered the intermediate step by fusing the divine spirit source in his left eye with calamity force, his divine sense would level up again! It would become divine awareness, and that was without Pharaoh's Law equipped! Once he summoned Pharaoh's Law, he would possess divine consciousness! How insane was that? With divine consciousness, Jodye's soul source would be powerful enough to confront mages! Of course, he wouldn't even have the chance to do so if a mage really wanted to kill him.

More importantly, he could easily remove those cursed fate seals once he possessed divine consciousness. In fact, even with divine awareness, it shouldn't be too difficult. This was why entering the intermediate level of the Cosmic Vision Scripture's second stage was only a matter of time. What Jodye lacked was a source of pure yang energy. This was the first thing he needed to buy!

After checking the surroundings, Jodye knew the most active warriors within 200 meters were merely high-level True Saints and Earth Scientists. He couldn't sense anyone with a stronger aura, but he suddenly found something strange. Thirty meters away from Jodye in a small pub there a handsome middle-aged man with a beard and wearing pale blue brocade robes.

This man felt like an enigma, and Jodye couldn't feel anything from him at all. That told Jodye one thing, this man was a real powerhouse! The tingling feeling that hung around the man told Jodye another thing: this guy's spiritual sense could extend outwards like his own!

"A master…" Jodye Trill mumbled as he did a half bow in that direction. He could sense the man raise his brow, but he didn't turn his head. Then the tingling feeling withdrew, and telepathic link formed between him and the man. Jodye's divine soul was actually more powerful than the man's, but he allowed the link to build without resisting.

"Who are you boy? Why are you spying on me?" came a raspy voice via telepathy.

"Master please, I'm Jupiter, and I wasn't spying on you intentionally, sir. I didn't mean to be rude. You're just the strongest expert in this part of the city, so I was curious," Jodye Trill replied. He was respectful as he was speaking to a man with the same t.i.tle as his mother.

"You know that I am a master, yet you dare to recklessly probe me! What makes you think I won't kill you, kid?" came a raspy voice filled with malice and anger. Jodye felt a headache coming on.

"Well… I have a few questions I was hoping that you could help me with. Everyone else is far too weak to be of any help," said Jodye indifferently.

"Haha, interesting kid, you got my attention. Leave your posse and come sit at the bar with me!"

"Okay!" Jodye Trill turned to face Dessa and spoke to her, "Dessa, I'll be over in that pub for a while. Do not go more than one hundred meters away from me in any direction."

Jodye pulled out a magic pouch from his s.p.a.ce ring and instructed Dessa to make a blood ownership claim. Inside the bag, there were a few thousand gold and silver notes, more money than Dessa had ever seen. There was also some other miscellaneous items that Jodye thought Dessa may need one day, as well as a list of things he needed her to be on the lookout for. Once Jodye separated from Dessa and Aiken, he walked around for a while before entering the pub.

When he sat next to the man in pale blue brocade robes, the latter finally spoke, "Go on boy. Tell this old Sigma what you need?"
