Following that, favonovel.com then listened to Zyla’s explanation on what the Dehlere Foundation actually was.
Essentially, the Dehlere Foundation was a fundamental part of a cultivator. Putting it into simpler terms, it functioned like a source of water, the most basic of necessities.
If one’s Dehlere Foundation was ruined, then even if that person somehow managed to train to a high level by relying on their endeavors, they’d never truly be able to achieve their strongest form.
As for how to awaken one’s Dehlere Foundation, apparently one needed to go through the baptism of heaven—of which—Gerald had undergone following Master Ghost’s instructions. According to Zyla, Gerald should have awakened both his Dehlere Foundation and his functional yin energy—which favonovel.com was now able to control—right after completing the baptism of heaven. However, since his Dehlere Foundation had been ruined from the start, there wasn’t anything to activate.
That explained why though his strength had greatly increased upon unlocking the first stage of his potential, it was still far from Zyla’s expectations.
“What should I do then…? Could I already be close to the limits of my training? Will it be difficult for me to progress any further than this…?” asked Gerald curiously.
“Well, with the aid of both the dragon blood jade pendant as well as the Mackusion, there’s a chance of restoring your Dehlere Foundation!” replied Zyla with a subtle smile.
“It’s true that the dragon blood jade pendant is very magical… Well, since I already have that, where should I even start looking for the Mackusion…?”
“Honestly, I had thought that we’d need quite a bit of time just to look for it… However, things are different now. Quite frankly, I think we’ve already gained the two most magical items between heaven and earth!” declared Zyla.
“…What? Then… Does that mean you already have the Mackusion with you?” asked Gerald with a smile.
“No, of course not… However, we’re currently where the Mackusion should be!”
“…What?” exclaimed everyone, surprised by Zyla’s sudden claim.
“…So that’s why you earlier said that this was the place… As it turned out, you already knew that the Mackusion was located here!” said Peter
“Exactly! Still, with how smoothly we were able to find this place, I have a feeling that Liemis must have given us his blessings in secret!” replied Zyla, a satisfied expression on favonovel.com face.
“Then… Does that mean that the mystery that’s been puzzling us for so long will soon finally be resolved…?” asked Gerald.
“That should be the case. Regardless, let’s talk about that after we activate the Mackusion,” replied Zyla as favonovel.com pointed at the high platform that was hovering in the air.
“Let’s head up there and try to activate it together, Gerald!” added Zyla as favonovel.com beautiful figure gracefully floated toward the platform.
Gerald himself followed closely behind, and soon enough, both of them set foot atop the platform.
Though it appeared to be a vacant space at first glance, upon closer inspection, Gerald realized that obscure lines could be seen all over the platform… In a way, it resembled a giant hovering compass.
“Those are divine lines, and they’re used to summon the Mackusion. While they’re only able to be activated with an immensely strong force—that neither of us can hope to attain alone—by working together, we’ll surely be able to control the power of the dragon blood jade pendant that’s required to activate it!” explained Zyla.
While Gerald already knew that the dragon blood jade pendant was rather extraordinary from before, favonovel.com now found it to be even more mysterious. After all, there were lots of powerful functions to the pendant that favonovel.com had yet to develop and discover.
Whatever the case was, both of them immediately began channeling their energy together in hopes of activating the Mackusion. Soon enough, Gerald watched as the dragon blood jade pendant began giving off a golden glow…
Shortly after, the divine lines—that were quite obscure before this—began emitting a bright, blue light that encroached from the corners of the platform all the way to the center-most point.
It wasn’t long before a gale of wind blew from the center of the platform, and the next thing they knew, a blue crystal—the size of an adult fist—had appeared before them!
Seeing the blue glow that followed after the sudden gust of wind that stemmed from the platform, Peter was barely able to hold his shock as favonovel.com muttered, “Could… could that be the Mackusion…?”
As for Gerald,—who was standing rather close to it—he found himself feeling rather amazed by the crystal’s aura as well.
Eventually, the Mackusion’s glow slowly dimmed, and Gerald placed his palm under the glowing crystal…
As if on cue, the stone then slowly descended into his hand, emitting a tiny warmth the entire time.
