The space entrances radiating light floated side by side in neat rows, totaling 820 of them.
“This is merely the fundamental inheritance, yet there are already so many varieties,” Luo Feng’s form solidified as he hovered midair, scanning the rows of glowing gates, carefully observing each entrance and understanding the inheritance it represented.
Fundamental inheritances…
To the Dandong River lineage, they weren’t particularly important; even if spread externally, it wouldn’t matter much, which is why they were used for the final screening. However, these “fundamental inheritances,” which could be shared externally even in ancient civilizations, were now of extraordinary significance to the various powers in Luo Feng’s universe. After all, the ancient civilization had been immensely powerful.
“The fundamental inheritances are categorized mainly into close combat, long-range attacks, treasure forging, machinery, and miscellaneous,” Luo Feng swept his gaze across, classifying unusual fighting methods like bio-control into the miscellaneous category.
The categories of close combat, long-range attacks, and treasure forging were straightforward.
The machinery category involved controlling machines!
On a small scale, it included things like humans using firearms, while on a grand scale, even entire cosmic vessels fell under the category of “warships” and were considered applications of machinery. Thus, machinery could become extremely powerful when developed to its peak. The Dandong River lineage had inherited countless experts, and some long-lived experts had various hobbies, so leaving behind fundamental mechanical inheritances was only natural.
“Now is the time for selecting inheritors,” Luo Feng carefully observed each glowing gate entrance. “Therefore, I should choose something I’m skilled in. Choosing something I don’t understand at all might take ages just to get started.”
“The fundamental inheritances are merely appetizers.”
“The core inheritances of the Dandong River lineage are the real feast.” Luo Feng’s gaze settled on a radiant spatial entrance. On this gate, faint images revealed a blurred figure wielding a battle blade, engaged in wanton slaughter. This was clearly a blade-based inheritance within the close-combat category.
“This one it is,” Luo Feng nodded inwardly. He had trained in blade techniques since childhood, later wielding the Blood Shadow Blade, and even his Godslayer Wings employed blade techniques. Subsequent techniques like ‘Golden Light,’ ‘Mist Light,’ ‘Rending Gold,’ and others were all forms of blade techniques. His research into blade techniques through the Secret Pattern Diagram School had primarily focused on blade methods. His mastery of blade techniques was undoubtedly at the pinnacle across the entire universe.
“Master Dandong, I’ve made my choice!” Luo Feng turned respectfully toward the distant figure. “It’s the one behind me.” As he spoke, Luo Feng had already positioned himself before the blade inheritance entrance.
Among the more than 200 experts behind Dandong River, many revealed a hint of frustration.
Because… they had also wanted to choose the blade inheritance!
Among the cosmic experts, close-combat warriors constituted the majority, and the blade was undoubtedly one of the major categories. Many of these 200+ experts were skilled in using blades and wanted to choose the blade inheritance. Unfortunately, each fundamental inheritance could only be accessed by one individual, so they had to choose others.
“Alright, Bi Xue, you choose next,” Dandong River said.
“As you command, Master Dandong,” Bi Xue Zunzhe slightly bowed and then transformed into a streak of light, flying toward the floating spatial entrances to select the most suitable one for himself.
…
“Next, Shui Song.”
…
They selected in order according to their performance in the Xihuang Bureau, especially during the later stages when the candidates had to reluctantly choose inheritances they were not skilled in, such as treasure forging. By the time they had barely grasped the basics, the final inheritor might have already been chosen.
In just a short while,
more than 200 experts had all made their selections and hovered in front of their chosen spatial gates.
“Enter now and begin accepting the fundamental inheritances,” Dandong River commanded indifferently. “Until the inheritor is chosen… all other candidates will perish.”
“As you command.”
All more than 200 experts showed utmost respect, then turned and flew into the radiant spatial gates.
Dandong River watched the candidates enter, his expression complex as he murmured, “The inheritance space has finally been reactivated. How long has it been? How long exactly? Too long… long enough for my memories to start fading. Once this matter is settled, I can finally dissipate, having nothing to regret before the ancestors.”
…
Luo Feng flew into the spatial gate, and instantly the space-time shifted.
This was a chaotic world; chaotic currents swirled below, while above was a dark void, save for a single star hanging in the sky, radiating light that illuminated the area below.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng walked atop the chaotic currents, looking around. Where was the blade inheritance?
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, the star at the center of the endless darkness above emitted a visible beam of light directly toward him. Luo Feng made no attempt to dodge. As the beam enveloped him, a cold mechanical voice sounded, “Core authority—activating the fundamental inheritance of core authority.”
Boom~~~ Instantly, a massive influx of information flooded into Luo Feng’s mind.
Detailed blade martial arts manuals poured in, from roughly the Cosmic Sovereign level gradually delving deeper into the mysteries of blade techniques, all the way to the level of the strongest beings in the universe! Each blade manual was from a different perspective—some based on the Metal-Space Law, others on the Water-Space Law, or Earth-Space Law…
There were even manuals that combined the three most fundamental laws—Metal, Water, and Earth—into blade techniques.
There were also some blade techniques that combined Metal and Time…
There were various blade techniques, none of which could be fused without laws.
A total of 360 blade manuals were transmitted into Luo Feng’s mind in one go, leaving him momentarily dazed, his mind seemingly sluggish. Each manual contained an immense amount of information. Even with Luo Feng’s divine power and willpower, it took more than two days to receive all the transmissions.
“Phew, this is incredibly profound,” Luo Feng blinked stupidly. “During the long period I studied the Xihuang Bureau, my expertise in secret pattern diagrams indeed improved significantly. If I were to create something, I could probably easily come up with the most powerful combined techniques. However, creating techniques at the level of the strongest beings in the universe… that’s impossible.”
“But these 360 manuals each contain blade techniques at the level of the strongest beings in the universe, and they all progress from the shallow to the deep. Moreover, the most powerful techniques in each manual are no less formidable than the axe techniques once used by the Creator Axe Master,” Luo Feng said.
These blade techniques…
Were not merely a superficial touch on the level of the strongest beings in the universe, but rather a mastery reaching the limit of that level, rivaling the Creator Axe Master’s axe techniques. And there were 360 such manuals! It was insane, probably beyond what any faction could achieve in the field of blade techniques alone.
Of course, these were all blade techniques created by other experts, not by Luo Feng himself, so even if he learned them, he would never match the power displayed by their creators.
The most suitable ultimate techniques were always the ones personally created.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
Suddenly—
The brilliant star in the dark sky emitted three beams of light. Inside each beam were massive ice mountains. Three towering ice mountains fell from the star and landed into the chaotic currents. Each ice mountain was hundreds of millions of kilometers high, crystal clear, and as transparent as crystal. Within each ice mountain, countless meteor-like beams of light repeatedly flashed.
Inside the three ice mountains, countless meteor-like beams of light intertwined, naturally forming a breathtaking picture.
This was a treasure naturally formed!
“You possess core authority, thus gaining access to 360 manuals left by past experts for reference… As the first candidate in this inheritance selection, you may view the three Blade Mountains. Each Blade Mountain contains ‘Blade Law Patterns’… The Law Patterns contain the ultimate power, revealing all ultimate secrets. Observe the three Blade Mountains and use the 360 blade manuals as reference to create a new blade technique… When your blade technique meets the requirements, you will become the new inheritor of the Dandong River lineage.” After the cold mechanical voice finished speaking, it fell silent.
Luo Feng blinked.
Blade Mountains?
Looking at the three Blade Mountains before him, these towering, crystalline ice mountains contained countless dazzling meteor-like beams of light. Even some of the laws he had once comprehended seemed pale in comparison. It seemed that each beautiful, heart-stopping meteor-like Law Pattern contained infinite mysteries.
“Incredible, containing the ultimate power?” Luo Feng murmured. “And I can already sense its might. It indeed surpasses any law and seems to encompass all laws.”
Power beyond laws.
All experts in the universe sea cultivated through the path of laws, which allowed them to gain recognition from the Primordial Universe, becoming Cosmic Sovereigns, Cosmic Lords, and so on. However, these Law Patterns in the form of meteor-like beams of light were so transcendent.
“What!”
Luo Feng’s expression changed.
He immediately tried to simulate these three Blade Mountains within his virtual universe, but to his astonishment, it proved extremely difficult. Each ice mountain contained countless meteor-like beams constantly shifting and never repeating. Even simulating a single moment’s fixed image was extremely challenging, let alone simulating the ever-changing images in real-time unless he abandoned cultivation altogether.
“I can’t simulate them for now,” Luo Feng shook his head inwardly.
“Referencing 360 manuals? Observing the Blade Mountains? Creating a blade technique?” Luo Feng held his breath.
Since he couldn’t simulate the Blade Mountains in the virtual universe, he decided not to try and instead focus entirely on cultivation.
Luo Feng gazed at the three Blade Mountains…
Within the three icy peaks, countless meteor-like beams danced, creating a breathtaking spectacle. Vaguely, he could see a blade of light moving, with sets of blade techniques emerging. Luo Feng’s expression turned to shock; these were indeed the ultimate Blade Law Patterns, containing the ultimate power.
At the same time, he focused on studying the various blade manuals.
Countless blade techniques flashed through his mind…
When his heart stirred, the countless meteor-like beams within the Blade Mountains also seemed to move, forming blades that danced in response to his thoughts… moving with his heart…
Understanding them revealed deeper mysteries…
These three Blade Mountains were like the three oldest and mightiest blade masters, having achieved the ultimate in blade techniques, though they were too profound… Luo Feng had to rely on the 360 blade manuals to gradually unveil the secrets of these three Blade Mountains. In this process, his foundation in blade techniques continued to deepen.
