Chapter 120: Grand Moon Chalcedony Empire

Elder Zachary had four types of Celestial wine, each stored in four distinct jaded jars according to the level of intoxication and its effect. The green jar had the least amount of alcoholic content and the weakest mystical effects while the red jar had the highest. The price of the Celestial wines was determined by their color, effect, and intoxication level, and red was priced the highest. In the past three hundred years, Elder Zachary had only sold two types of Celestial wines and both were sold for millions of mana crystals! High-ranked awakened typically use Pure-mana crystal as the main source of currency in trades or to buy and sell stuff. Also, pure-mana crystal can be used to hasten the growth of an awakened as it contains pure mana essence. 

With a thought, Elder Zachary materialized a single green jar of Celestial Wine to complete an important ritual. The moment the celestial Wine Jar materialized in the physical world, the pressure in the surrounding got oppressive. Whittaker even felt that suppression, and the ground slightly cracking and lightly shaking below his feet confirmed that gravity had increased by some times.

He grabbed the jar of celestial wine with a smile before two cups of wine were placed on the table. Then he proceeded to open the seals on the jar by using an incantation.

The moment he unsealed the wine jar, four types of fragrance spread in the air around them even though the crystal cap was affixed in its place. The four types of fragrance Emerald, Sapphire, Amethyst, and Rose Quartz were visible to Whittaker's naked eyes, and incomprehensible words were drawn all over the fragrance.

The moment the emerald jar was unsealed, a system notification containing detailed information about the wine popped up.

[Celestial Wine. System Rating 7-star]

[Ingredients: Four types of 18-star magical beast's blood were distilled by using a rank-7 formation which utilizes soul force then battered with mana and battle energy to create the base of this Elixir wine. Untainted Yang Ginsengonly grows in the depth of Forbidden Lava Lakewas blended with the fruits of the Five Elemental Fruit Treea treasure that can assist A-ranked awakened in creating an elemental avatar to reach S-rankto create its texture. Every inch of the wine is packed with condensed mana and battle energy that has taken the form of words. 

Celestial Effects:

A: Increase soul force or give birth to soul force in a person's, mortal or awakened, body.

B: Increase Mana by 1000 points every sip

C: Calm the nerves, stabilize the heart, soothe the soul, and increase the efficiency of the mind.

D: Increase Battle Energy by 80 points every sip.]

The wine was far more than just fascinating to look at for Whittaker after the system notified him about its various effects. 

Elder Zachary, on the other hand, cracked open the crystal cap with a finger jab and instantly they were hit with a burst of wine fragrances as its aroma surged out of the green jar. The four types of aromas took the shape of the 18-star beasts whose blood was used to create it, right after, they entered the nostrils of Elder Zachary and Whittaker, gushing up and clouding their minds while making their taste buds tingle.

"Being able to make friends with you who might very well be the last descendent of the Grand Moon Chalcedony Empire left in the Awakened continent is an honor for me! Cheers!" Elder Zachary said while grabbing the jar of wine from the table. He then filled his cup to the brim with the crystalline four-color liquid and only filled Whittaker's wine cup with some drops and handed it over to the snowy-haired boy.

Whittaker's glanced at the stinky old man beside him and asked. "Elder Zachary, can I get some more of it? It's too little to satisfy me. And, the Grand Moon Chalcedony Empire, was this empire ruled by Devansha, The Great?"

Elder Zachary rubbed his beard very calmly and said, "Young boy, you are still an F-rank awakened so you can only drink a single sip of the Emerald version of the Celestial wine. I can only give you about this much otherwise, your body would surely explode from the sudden surge of mana and battle energy." 

Each sip of the Celestial wine was packed with a thousand units of mana and dozens of units of battle energy. Whittaker's body won't be able to release so much energy through the pores and holes and will explode if taken in excess, hence he could only drink one sip. 

Whittaker gulped, understanding that not everything could be taken for granted. With a grateful expression on his face, he picked up the wine cup and brought it closer to his face. The wine fragrance gushed up his nose like sea overturning the lands. His brain was already cloudy yet this time, the fragrance traveled throughout his body, warming his limbs and making him all the more exhilarated to take a sip but he wanted to know about the Grand Moon Chalcedony Empire.

After successfully warning him about the dangers imposed by the excess of celestial wine, Elder Zachary continued by explaining, "The Grand Moon Chalcedony Empire was established when the Divine Battle King United the entire Awakened continent under his rule; However, more than several thousand years ago, the Grand Moon Chalcedony Empire suddenly vanished from this world. No one knows why. In some historical records, it is said that your Ancestor defied the heaven and was punished with the annihilation of the entire Empire while the other historical records say that the Divine Battle King was so powerful that he ascended to the heaven with his Empire!" Elder Zachary was enthralled by just explaining about the history of the Awakened to the equally enthralled snowy-haired boy.

There are seven kingdoms in the Awakened continent yet not even a single one had dared to proclaim itself as an Empire even though their land stretches for tens of thousands of miles. Not even the central Kingdom of light had dared to proclaim itself as an Empire!
