Aceâs interest was piqued when he heard Pixyâs cryptic words, and his assumption about Pixy showing herself at this exact moment also seemed to be correct; she really wants something and is probably using this pretext of âhelp yourselfâ just for the merriment.
"Alright!" Ace shrugged as he decided to play along, and his tone relaxed a bit as he curiously asked, "Care to elaborate on how this is going to help me? After all, getting the Transcendent Void Obsidian is already akin to helping myself because as long as Moira grows stronger, itâs nothing but beneficial to me, but you know it better than anyone."
"Oh, I indeed know about the âcompletion schemeâ for the poor Moira, and trust me, Iâm very sympathetic towards her." Pixy sounded genuinely concerned at this moment, "After all, destroying an Eternal Provenance Treasure to such an extent is nothing but pure evil, but since Moira managed to survive, Iâm sure sheâll be even more amazing once she reaches her full potential!"
But Ace was startled as he quickly asked, "Wait, you even know about the completion scheme?"
"Hehe, donât forget who I am, as long as itâs a treasure, thereâs nothing that can escape my eyes..." Pixy replied matter-of-factly, "Iâm also your Wealth Administrator and Primal/True Spirit, thatâs why I can gain access to knowledge of treasures that are bound to you. But donât worry, I can only see what that âexistenceâ behind you allows me to see, and in Moiraâs case, apparently Iâm allowed to see."
Aceâs eyes narrowed, but he couldnât find anything wrong with Pixyâs explanation because she could already manipulate his Thiefâs Space and use his Thief Points, and none of this was possible without the systemâs consent.
In this case, she should really have access to Moiraâs status, and since she didnât try to hide it, Ace decided not to inquire about it any further, since Pixy canât betray him or do anything with that information. Lastly, as long as the system was there, he didnât need to worry about these matters.
Moira also fell silent at that moment and made no comment because it involved the system, which she didnât dare disrespect. Ace managed to gain control over Moira all because of the system, and, as her firsthand experience, she knows how terrifying that âpowerâ behind Ace is!
"Alright, enough with your theatrics, get to the point already." Ace decided to move to the main point because he wasnât exactly in a cozy place for idle chatter.
"Alright, alright..." Pixy acted as if disheartened, "Tell me, do you know what Transcendent Void Obsidian is? I mean, I know you guys got the name and could detect it, but do you know what exactly it was used for or how it forms?"
"I know!" Moira stated confidently with a hint of provocation.
Ace also nodded in agreement, "Donât underestimate Moira, she always has knowledge about the materials related to her completion scheme. So, thereâs no need for you to be all smug or act arrogantly by playing riddles."
"Hehehe..." Pixy giggled with a hint of derision, "Oh, no offense, but she probably only has general knowledge about the object. Anyway, Iâm not here to step on anyoneâs toes."
Before Moira could expressed her dissatisfaction over Pixyâs blunt belittling, the latter continued without giving anyone chance...
"The Transcendent Void Obsidian is not formed under the Heavens and Abysses, but it was formed in the depths of chaotic space, in places where space collapsed and then failed to fully mend, forming rare regions where overlapping laws collided, and fragments of broken dimensions drifted like scars in reality."
"And in these rare regions, there existed pockets of silent nothingness. Within those pockets, over hundreds of thousands of years, as Void turbulence stabilized and was compressed by converging spatial pressure, a pitch-black crystalline substance would slowly condense.
"That substance is Transcendent Void Obsidian. The Transcendent Void Obsidian has no shine, nor does it reflect light. Even cultivatorsâ special senses struggled to cling to its surface.
"However, its true value did not lie in hardness or destructive power, but in what it rejected as the Transcendent Void Obsidian possessed a rare property known as Law Dissociation.
"It did not nullify laws outright. Rather, it weakened their anchoring effect. Threads of fate, karmic markings, and divination traces struggled to latch onto it.
"Predictions that brushed against its surface would distort, branch incorrectly, or terminate abruptly. Fate Law could still influence what lay within, but its clarity dulled, its certainty fractured since itâs still only a Forbidden Transcend Grade natural treasure."
Ace was fascinated at this moment because he wasnât expecting the Transcendent Void Obsidian to have such powerful properties to even affect divinations and laws to such a degree.
Furthermore, Pixy seemed to know where to find it, which astounded him, and Ace secretly decided at that moment he would ask Pixy about natural material locations next time instead of blindly searching for them.
But he didnât stop her; he let her continue, since she clearly wasnât done...
"But when refined properly with other unique materials and embedded into âcertainâ large-scale formations, Transcendent Void Obsidian can create unique sealed spatial layers that existed slightly off alignment with the primary flow of causality."
Suddenly Pixyâs voice turned playful as she seemed to emphasizing on this point as she said, "Such spaces are not invisible in the ordinary sense. They still occupied coordinates. They still interacted with physical reality.
"However, from the perspective of Karmic Laws, they became blurred anomalies, like ink smudges in an otherwise clean script. This effect provided partial protection against fate-based tracking, prophecy techniques, and high-tier divination arts.
"Anything hidden within such a formation could not be easily locked onto through karmic threads alone. Attempts to calculate their position would yield contradictory outcomes, phantom reflections, or endless loops.
"Only those with extremely profound mastery over Fate Law could pierce through it with consistency, and even then, not without effort. Because of this, Transcendent Void Obsidian is coveted by forces that prefer to remain unseen.
"Oh, and if you add another certain material, you can create a peculiar formation that can only allow with certain âKarmic Racial Traitsâ to enter, while others would never be able to break it unless they have the power to break it. Did it ring any bells?" Pixy cynically implied.
Aceâs eyes suddenly widen because Pixy has already made it obvious enough as he blurted, "The Undead Boundary?!"
