"Buzz..."
A tiny ring grew out of the Heavenly Ring Staff and floated on its side.
It was purple and was surrounded by purple lightning bolts.
Zen, who was not too far away, could feel the power of those purple lightning bolts. The power wasn't the energy of the fourth-grade world. It was an energy of certain Extreme Form from the Deep Space.
"Buzz..."
A second ring floated out of the staff.
There were two spiral lights at the center of the ring. One was black, and the other one was white. The two lights intertwined and completely filled the whole ring.
Zen had seen these lights before—the Starry Roc-fish had once used this power to turn Zen's body into energy. They were the power of the Magnetic Light Extreme Form that could magnetize substances into energy.
"Buzz..."
"Buzz..."
The third ring came out, and then the fourth one, and the fifth one...
One after another, rings grew out of the Heavenly Ring Staff and lined up neatly around it.
As Zen watched all of these occurred, a word suddenly popped out in his mind—the map...
There were three hundred and seventy-three types of abilities of the ancestry-level bloodline in the Eternal Divine Courtyard, and there was also a map that marked the types. The function of these rings should be similar to that of the map.
"Ancestry-level bloodline, is the Heavenly Ring Staff displaying its abilities?" Zen asked.
After a moment of silence, the ancestry-level bloodline said, "This is more than a display of abilities. As the staff shows its abilities, it's also directly merging into your primitive land. Once the merging process is completed, these abilities can be used by you just the same way you can use my abilities!"
Zen raised his eyebrows. Although obtaining the Heavenly Ring Staff meant he gained control of the power in the Deep Space, he never expected the process to be so smooth. He continued, "In that case, I should have one hundred and forty types of abilities later?"
"Yes," the ancestry-level bloodline replied in a depressed tone.
The reaction of the ancestry-level bloodline baffled Zen. "What's wrong with you?"
"I... I'm searching for my memories," said the ancestry-level bloodline.
When the Deep Space was downgraded, the ancestry-level bloodline lost a portion of its extremely important memories, causing it to forget its original identity.
It had been placing its hopes on the Heavenly Ring Staff because it thought that a portion of its lost memories very likely resided within the staff.
Nevertheless, as the abilities of the Heavenly Ring Staff came out one after another, it still hadn't found any signs of its lost memories.
"Don't worry—maybe your memory is hidden deep inside it. Let's wait and see," Zen comforted, though he knew the possibility was slim.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."
Many rings representing various types of abilities appeared and lined up around the staff.
One hundred and thirty-seven...
One hundred and thirty-eight...
One hundred and thirty-nine...
One hundred and forty...
All the abilities the Heavenly Ring Staff had were presented before Zen and the ancestry-level bloodline.
Zen's gaze never strayed away from the staff. This staff most likely housed a spirit that had gained wisdom, so he was wondering—would it appear?
At this moment, the green color on the surface of the Heavenly Ring Staff was fading away at a rapid speed. Along with the fading of the green color on its surface, the Heavenly Ring Staff began to dry up, transforming back into a withered branch. Before long, it quickly started to rot.
Crack...
A thick crack suddenly broke open on it, and a palm-sized crystal appeared from within.
"This crystal..."
Zen released his spiritual sense to examine the crystal.
However, the moment his spiritual sense touched the crystal, it disappeared without a trace. The crystal seemed to be conscious and on guard. It simply didn't allow Zen to see through it.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Long, thin, blood-red lines suddenly appeared, spread over the crystal, and completely shrouded it in a matter of seconds. Right at that moment, the ancestry-level bloodline said, "This crystal is the spirit of the Heavenly Ring Staff. It won't allow strangers to touch it, but it might have my memories within it."
