Chapter 837 Four Pillars: Signs and Echoes

Though Sellifer only told Valyr that he might have just discovered the actual start to the path of Azure Energy, this only ended up making the latter a bit more confused than he originally was.

After all, he had been led to thinking that the Azure Trace was the most basic form of Azure Energy to ever exist.

Yet, the creator herself told him that he had stumbled upon a form of the Azure Energy that was more basic than the Azure Trace?

Thankfully, with a slightly lengthy conversation about the topic, the confusion Valyr felt from the whole thing had finally disappeared.

Instead, excitement covered the young man's face once more as he realized that the heavens weren't actually messing him.

But rather it was due to his current comprehensions of various concepts that his form of Azure Energy ended up turning out that way.

"For quite some time after discovering the five stages of Azure Energy, I wondered to myself whether the Azure Trace was actually the most basic form of Azure Energy to ever exist," said Sellifer as she began to talk about a time far in the past.

"With that, I decided to break the Azure Trace down, deciding to head down the rabbit hole of introducing impurities into the energies themselves."

"Of course, I've eventually come to realize that it was the wrong approach, even more so thanks to what you've shown me just now."

"In terms of the quality of both energies, we've confirmed that 3rd Cleansing is undoubtedly the bare minimum to step onto the path of Azure Energy." Sellifer looked at the young man at that, who nodded back in response.

"And instead, the part that actually dictates the stage at which one's Azure Energy is at is none other than one's comprehension of concepts."

"Having Intent Seeds related to Shadow Energy and mana allow one to step into the true first stage on the path of Azure Energy." As she said these words, Sellifer generated a ball of azure haze on top of her extended palm.

"Compared to the Azure Trace, this stage only contains a minuscule hint of what's to come. Nevertheless, it's still better than the braided energy by a significant amount."

"Seeing as it could be considered a sign of the path of Azure Energy that awaits them, let's call this stage the Azure Sign."

Whoosh!

Because of it, his perseverance and determination had grown by leaps and bounds, prompting him to wonder where his new limits lie after going through such an ordeal.

'At least I'll be less prone to getting angry from now on if what I'm forging is taking too long.' Valyr chuckled to himself, letting out a faint sigh soon after.

'Two years, huh... I guess, in a way, I'm 19 years old now.'

As this thought came to mind, Valyr knew that he would only be considered 19 physically due to how much time he'd spent in dilated time.

But once he was back in Veldanyr, he would still be considered 17 with how much time had passed.

'Or I could already be considered 18 once I return. After all, I've spent way too much time in this place.' Valyr scratched the back of his head at the thought.

Deciding not to think about the complications of time dilation to his age any further, Valyr decided to try out his newly obtained azure energy on his skills.

Choosing to use it on his most basic skill once more, Valyr transformed his energy into the Azure Sign first before conjuring it into a bolt.

"[Arcane Shadow Serpent Magic Style]."

"[Arcane Shadow Bolt]!"

Whoosh!

With the entire thing taking on a hazy azure, the bolt moved through the air at great speeds, reminding Valyr of a specific element that he could have infused into the bolt before letting it loose.

Though, just as the thought came to mind...

Whoosh!

The azure bolt transformed into a dragon all of a sudden, leaving the young man at a great loss for words.

Ding!
