This, Is the Inheritance Space

Though he had already bound the Inheritance Space, Luo Feng still harbored many questions about the Tombstone Boat and the Inheritance Space itself. Thus, he immediately enveloped one of the Memory Stones with his divine power, and a torrent of information began to pour into his mind.

This was the detailed information left by Duan Dong River's virtual consciousness before its dissipation, outlining the numerous functions and important points of the Inheritance Space. It also revealed his modifications to the Tombstone Boat, including the location and method of controlling its core.

“The Third Ancestor prepared everything too meticulously,” Luo Feng exclaimed with deep emotion.

“The entire Inheritance Space, almost 95% of it, is the Third Ancestor's achievement. The other 5% consists of functions added by successive inheritors. This makes the Inheritance Space a perfect training ground for powerhouses.”

Luo Feng sighed.

It was too comprehensive.

Without the information left by Duan Dong River, even if he had bound the Inheritance Space, he would likely have spent a considerable amount of time exploring and researching to understand its various aspects. Now, everything was under his complete control.

The Inheritance Space was essentially like a miniature universe, divided into many independent spaces.

There was a super library (containing the vast information within the Memory Stones), which recorded almost all the fundamental techniques of ancient civilization. It also held countless precious experiences leading directly to the pinnacle of power (experiences of past inheritors, and the myriad valuable information they collected).

There was a dedicated combat trial space, a small virtual realm with 282 opponents, including past Duan Dong Rivers. One's consciousness could enter this virtual space to spar with them; these virtual opponents could unleash the full power of those super powerhouses, with the most formidable opponent naturally being the Third Ancestor.

There was a space specifically for creating secret techniques...

A space dedicated to cultivating one's weapons...

A space for quiet meditation...

And specialized spaces for...

...

In short, the entire Inheritance Space was a place continuously supplemented by generations of inheritors, perfected to the extreme for nurturing powerhouses.

“This is just too... too extravagant,” Luo Feng blinked.

He had many imaginings before accepting the inheritance, but only after truly experiencing it did he realize his imagination was insufficient; he had severely underestimated the successive inheritors of Duan Dong River.

With such an incredibly extravagant Inheritance Space, failing to become a super powerhouse was an extremely low probability event, though the exact time it would take remained uncertain.

Furthermore, the Duan Dong River lineage was inherently strict in selecting inheritors. Those chosen were undoubtedly top-tier in talent, willpower, and many other aspects. Even without the inheritance, their future achievements would not be small. But with the aid of this Inheritance Space, it was like adding wings to a tiger, naturally allowing them to reach even greater heights.

“In the Universe Ocean, some inheritances that cause fierce competition, especially the so-called 'combined attack methods' of the God-Eye Clan... are merely a small part of a very ordinary branch of ancient civilization.”

“Regarding various minor details, even soul attacks, illusions, refining supreme treasures, manufacturing and controlling machinery... they are simply innumerable.”

Luo Feng marveled.

He had, in essence, grasped the foundations of a powerful ancient civilization! And for the Duan Dong River lineage, these foundations, the information within hundreds of millions of Memory Stones, were all minor details, something that past Duan Dong Rivers could freely disseminate.

...

“Knowledge is power.”

“The experiences of countless powerhouses, the philosophies of innumerable cultivation schools, all created by generations of powerhouses pushing forward—this is the most fundamental.” The first thing Luo Feng did, and something almost all previous Duan Dong Rivers had done, was to commit all the Memory Stones to memory!

Perhaps he wouldn't follow those paths, but they might offer insights that aid his own cultivation, or provide crucial intelligence—such as strengths and weaknesses—if he ever encountered an opponent from such a school in a real battle.

“Come,” Luo Feng waved his hand.

Immediately, a vast number of black stones, over a hundred million, floated in mid-air.

“Categorize them.” Luo Feng split his divine power into countless strands, simultaneously touching all the Memory Stones. He began to access portions of their information, determine their categories, and sort them. The countless Memory Stones began to divide themselves.

First, categorize, then memorize.

...

In the cultivation space, where time acceleration reached ten thousand times, Luo Feng spent only about 15 days (which was actually hundreds of years) memorizing all the core inheritance. He then embarked on an even more massive task: memorizing the over one hundred million Memory Stones...

Each of the hundred million-plus Memory Stones contained foundational information, so the volume of data was far less than the core inheritance. Still, it took him nearly 30 years (which was actually 30 epochs) to fully absorb them. After absorbing everything, Luo Feng began to meticulously read and study, a process far longer than mere absorption. Before, it was like cramming countless books into his brain; now, he was slowly flipping through them.

...

The Tombstone Boat remained suspended in mid-air between the Flame Ice Region, its hatch sealed.

Occasionally, powerhouses would pass by, casting envious glances, but they would quickly depart, not daring to linger, fearing to incur the displeasure of that 'Duan Dong River.' After all, even the Second and Seventh True Masters of the God-Eye Clan had been instantly annihilated.

...

While the various forces in the Universe Ocean speculated and most were unaware of who the inheritor truly was, Luo Feng calmly continued his studies. He was absolutely safe within the Inheritance Space, especially since the Inheritance Space was inside the Tombstone Boat.

Once the Tombstone Boat was sealed.

No one in the entire Universe Ocean could break in! And anyone who tried would be courting death. Although the Tombstone Boat couldn't attack externally, its interior, after Duan Dong River's modifications, possessed several terrifying mechanisms. Even a Universe Overlord entering would be committing suicide.

As time flowed, Luo Feng gained an incredibly clear understanding of the breakthroughs at each level—Immortal, Universe Venerable, Universe Master, and Universe Overlord—and even how to advance further beyond the Universe Overlord stage.

Even the Universe Overlords themselves knew far less than Luo Feng.

This was because, in ancient civilization, these concepts were analyzed with extreme clarity, and in the 'Duan Dong River lineage inheritance,' they were considered the most ordinary, outermost Memory Stones, with no value for secrecy.

Though Luo Feng was merely a Universe Venerable, he was qualified to guide Universe Masters, and even Universe Overlords!

After all, the Universe Overlords in the Universe Ocean were all like blind men crossing a river; even when they broke through, they did so in confusion, as the experiences of their predecessors were too scarce to form a systematic study.

...

Another 2600 years passed since he accepted the inheritance.

In the Virtual Universe, within the Giant Axe Creator's independent plane.

“Luo Feng has been an inheritor for so long. After sending us one email, he hasn't appeared again.” In the boundless dark starry sky, before a floating divine palace, Chaos City Lord and Giant Axe Creator sat opposite each other.

In terms of friendship, Chaos City Lord and Giant Axe Creator had a deep bond. Original Ancestor had guided both Chaos City Lord and Giant Axe Creator... Chaos City Lord was more obedient, always following Original Ancestor's teachings, becoming his eldest disciple. Giant Axe Creator, however, was different; he was more rebellious and independent, often venturing out. Original Ancestor didn't even have a formal master-disciple relationship with him.

Yet, without a doubt, Chaos City Lord and Giant Axe Creator were Original Ancestor's two earliest disciples—one the eldest, the other a disciple in all but name. Giant Axe Creator was like an elder brother... especially after Original Ancestor was suppressed, the entire human race was supported by these two! Over time, their friendship naturally deepened, and they often discussed matters together.

“Haha, you're really worried about your precious disciple,” Giant Axe Creator chuckled.

“I'm worried about unforeseen circumstances!” Chaos City Lord shook his head. “Who knows about ancient civilization? Who knows if that Duan Dong River has other intentions?”

“Then why don't you just contact Luo Feng?” Giant Axe Creator asked.

“I'm afraid of disturbing him while he's accepting the inheritance,” Chaos City Lord frowned slightly.

“What's there to worry about? Luo Feng has several clones. Can't one of them spare a bit of consciousness to enter the Virtual Universe while he's accepting the inheritance?” Giant Axe Creator shook his head. “If you're worried, I'll contact him!”

Giant Axe Creator was straightforward and immediately sent an email to Luo Feng.

Soon—

A figure appeared out of thin air before the silent divine palace. It was Luo Feng, dressed in a simple white robe. Because he was accustomed to wearing silver combat armor, Luo Feng naturally gravitated towards silver and white.

“Luo—” Giant Axe Creator began to speak, but then his brow furrowed, observing Luo Feng closely.

Chaos City Lord, being more meticulous, was also startled when he saw Luo Feng.

What level of existence were they?

Both immediately saw... that the Luo Feng before them had changed too much. It was a change in his very essence, his temperament. Some people, through much combat, become more resolute and sharp. Some, through much reading, develop a scholarly air.

Different experiences lead to changes in temperament. As Luo Feng absorbed the foundations of an entire ancient civilization, his vision and understanding underwent earth-shattering transformations, far surpassing many Universe Overlords. He could completely act as a teacher to some Universe Overlords, guiding them.

“It seems the inheritance is extraordinary,” Giant Axe Creator turned to Chaos City Lord, sighing. “When I first saw him, I felt like I was seeing Original Ancestor in his youth. Original Ancestor also liked to wear white robes.”

“He does have that kind of aura,” Chaos City Lord also smiled.

Luo Feng stepped forward: “Giant Axe Creator, Teacher, please don't tease me.”

“I can tell,” Giant Axe Creator said. “You've gained a lot.”

“How is it?” Chaos City Lord stopped teasing and quickly asked, “How was this inheritance? How much will it help our human race? Do we have a chance to transcend reincarnation?” Giant Axe Creator's eyes beside him also lit up with anticipation.

Luo Feng nodded: “From the Immortal stage all the way to the limits of a Universe Overlord, everything is clear in my mind.”

That was quite a boast!

Giant Axe Creator and Chaos City Lord exchanged glances, their eyes shining. They were clearly impressed and hopeful. They were clearly impressed and hopeful.
