| abstract | - The Stone of Gelel is a source of life energy contained in a mineral. It was first discovered long ago as a vein of ore by Temujin's ancestors. Only the royal blood of his clan could forge stones from the ore, a process performed with flesh and blood of the body. These same forgers were also the only one's capable of destroying the stones. The entire deposit of Gelel is said to be capable of destroying half a continent. For this reason a long and costly war was fought over it, resulting in the ore being sealed away by Temujin's ancestors. In the present day, only Kahiko knows the location of the Gelel vein, and he and his followers protect its secret. Years after its sealing, Haido found some remnants of the stone by destroying Temujin's village. Later, he also found the Book of Gelel, which allowed him to learn how to control the power of the crystal. Haido wanted to use the Stone of Gelel to rule the world. To stop him, Temujin, who carried the royal blood of his clan, destroyed the stone and the entire vein of Gelel by sucking it into a black hole. Decades later it was revealed that when Temujin "destroyed" the vein and stone of Gelel by putting it into the black hole, the black hole actually teleported the vein of Gelel in a hidden cavern located under Takamagahara. It was later rediscovered by Yūryaku Man'yōshū while he was trying to find a campsite for Senō during the war for Takamagahara. When rediscovered by Yūryaku, the vein of Gelel reacted to his chakra/energy because he was a descendant of the royal family. Wondering what the strange mineral was Yūryaku started walking towards it, as he got closer the vein of Gelel started to transform into five orb like minerals. The five orbs started started rotating and glowing, revealing a book that was directly under them. Not wanting to waste anymore time looking at the mysterious minerals and the book, Yūryaku used the body flicker technique to quickly grab the orbs and book.
