Chapter 1517 - Birth (1)

'This golden yacht is amazing…' Dyon mumbled to himself.

When Dyon first learned about manifestations, he was greatly intrigued by them. Due to the fact the soul was the basis of communication between the body and the heavens, manifestations were able to amplify this connection, thus giving its users great benefits.

Back then, Dyon had met many individuals capable of f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y raising their will comprehensions through their manifestations, in fact, he was one of them. But, as time passed, this ability became less and less prevalent until eventually Dyon and those around him couldn't grasp it anymore.

This wasn't an accident or a trick of fate, this was simply the way of the martial world. While increasing the power of a will level will was simple, doing so for an intent, or even a dao, was beyond the capability of most manifestations. This wasn't necessarily because these manifestations were weak, but rather because the comprehension their owners had for them was too shallow.

Comprehending one's manifestation was even more difficult than comprehending a unique weapon path on your own. This was especially so for those who awakened Unique Manifestations. It was precisely for this reason that Ancient Manifestations were so powerful. They weren't necessarily of a higher quality than other Unique Manifestations, but they had been studied and refined over so many generations that they could pull out more of their potential in comparison to others.

So, what was the point of all of this? How did manifestations relate to this Golden Yacht?

Well, this 6th stage Supreme grade treasure was actually capable of replacing the function of a manifestation and strengthening the connection between its owner and the heavens by using its wielder's soul as a basis!

If, for example, Dyon wanted the ship to move faster, he could infuse his comprehension of wind into the ship's mechanisms. While, normally, Dyon's comprehension of wind was too shallow to increase the speed of a treasure already matching the pace of a lower dao expert, this Golden Yacht was able to raise his efficiency to entirely new level!

Because of how large the gap between an intent and a dao was, currently, the ship was only capable of raising Dyon's intents to the 1st dao level. But, once he breached the dao realm on his own, then this yacht would be capable of raising his dao by three levels! If the will in question was a supreme law, it would still be capable of doing so by one dao level!

The consequences of giving Dyon such a treasure was devastating. Giving him an ability booster that relied on his soul strength was like giving four pairs of wings to a celestial tiger!

'If I infuse my current half-step dao wind comprehension into this treasure, its speed would increase from the peak of the lower dao realm, to the lower middle dao realm!'

Dyon's heartbeat quickened. This ability essentially made certain that this Golden Yacht would never become useless to him. As long as his comprehension increased, its abilities would only grow more otherworldly.

The best part was that Dyon was applying this ability in the simplest fashion. What if instead of wind will, he used spatial will? He'd be able to cover distances only a dao expert in spatial will could cover in an instant! And, none of this even touched upon the attacking formations of the yacht! Dyon suddenly felt undefeatable.

'Is this the true nature of a supreme grade treasure?... Have I been taking them for granted…?' Dyon calmed his heart, recollecting his thoughts.

Of the treasures he had, his greatest were his four treasures of the 33 heavens. Their might couldn't be questioned, Dyon had relied on them many times to get out of trouble. But, how about his other treasures?

For example, his broad sword. He had cared for it so little that he didn't hesitate to simply hand it over to Little Rain to use as a body. Was that a mistake? Maybe he couldn't feel the true power of it because he had yet to step into the dao formation realm?...

While transcendent grade treasures could only reach their full potential in the hands of a celestial, a supreme grade treasure could only reach its in the hands of a dao expert. Maybe Dyon was too rash?

After pondering for a while, he realized just why this golden yacht was so amazing in his hands. Wasn't it able to display such shocking abilities because his soul could rival almost any dao expert's?

If, for example, Dyon gave this treasure to any other peak saint, or, even if he gave it to another peak celestial, at most all they could do was benefit from its lower dao realm speed. Only Dyon had a soul so powerful that he could make use of formations only a dao expert had the stamina to sustain. Any other person of his generation would barely be able to use this treasure to its fullest power for a few seconds, but Dyon felt like he could use it for half a day without breaking a sweat!

Finally, Dyon understood. Treasures weren't created to simply hand their user's power, the use of treasures was meant to supplement, not make up for. The same way he could use this golden yacht well because he was powerful, was the same way he couldn't make use of his other treasures well because he was too weak.

Unless one had a treasure of the Legendary Path – a path even the treasures of the 33 heavens could only emulate by half – it was necessary to be powerful!

Now, Dyon knew why his master had barred him from using his treasures. He wasn't worthy of them now! This same logic applied to his martial techniques.

Dyon smiled lightly. 'I will be in the future, though. Wait for me.'
