Inheritance Memory

Deep beneath the dark sea, countless marine monsters were scattered around, each gazing with reverence at the Golden Horned Beast coiled in the distance. The Golden Horned Beast’s dark golden eyes slowly closed, as if it had fallen asleep. Yet, under the invisible pressure it exuded, this entire area remained utterly silent.

With its massive eyes closed, Luo Feng felt himself completely submerged by memories. Incredibly profound and unique secret techniques, perfectly suited for the Golden Horned Beast’s cultivation, vast and boundless, with illustrations and texts, continuously flooded into his mind. It was like watching a movie, knowledge rushing into his brain in a torrent.

Endless!

Luo Feng felt a faint headache, a clear sign that the speed of the memory influx was pushing his soul to its absolute limit.

“How much knowledge is there?” Luo Feng couldn’t believe it. “This, this has been going on for over an hour.”

One hour, two hours, three hours! These memories surged in like an inexhaustible tide, ceaseless! Various memories flashed by, completely integrating into Luo Feng’s soul. He barely managed to identify some ‘Golden Horned Beast cultivation’ diagrams before being overwhelmed by other memories.

Half a day! A full day! Two days! Three days!

The terrifying Starry Sky Behemoth, the Golden Horned Beast, lay motionless at the bottom of the sea, as if in a deep slumber.

…

Sixteen days later!

In the abyssal depths of the sea, on the mud-covered seabed, the pitch-black Golden Horned Beast lay still. Finally, its dark golden eyes opened, and within them, naturally, was a cold, murderous intent. It was ingrained in its very bones.

“Phew, thank the heavens,” Luo Feng finally felt a wave of relief.

The sixteen days of inheritance memory influx and integration had pushed his soul to its absolute limit. Under such pressure, Luo Feng felt exhausted even thinking.

“This, just how much knowledge is this?” Luo Feng marveled.

“Luo Feng, Luo Feng!” An excited voice echoed in Luo Feng’s mind.

“Babata,” Luo Feng called out.

“You’ve fully received the inheritance memory? That’s incredible! With your current soul capacity, you can process a lot of information every second. How much information must you have received in these 16 days?” Babata sounded extremely agitated. “Quick, tell me, what kind of knowledge? What amazing secret techniques?”

“Let me check first,” Luo Feng was also very curious. Although he had become a Golden Horned Beast, he had no idea of its true capabilities.

“Babata, we have a problem,” Luo Feng said with a hint of helplessness after a quick scan of the inheritance memory.

“What is it?” Babata quickly asked.

“While this knowledge is in my mind, I still have to learn it piece by piece. How long will that take?” The so-called inheritance memory was a means of knowledge transfer, passed from one generation of Golden Horned Beasts to the next. However, to truly master the knowledge, one still had to diligently comprehend and study it.

“That’s not surprising!” Babata immediately said. “The reason this inheritance memory is so vast is mainly due to the secret techniques. A single secret technique can have many, many words. Just like your master’s ‘Soul Imprint’ secret technique, if it were printed into books, it would easily fill hundreds of volumes, recorded in tens of millions of Huaxia characters.”

“Luo Feng,” Babata continued excitedly, “now, organize the inheritance memory completely. You don’t need to examine the detailed content of every secret technique; just know their names and general purpose. Categorize everything. It should be quick. You really are something! In the universe, powerful individuals from various races would spend countless fortunes to acquire secret techniques and the like, and you’re complaining there’s too much. It’s truly exasperating.”

Luo Feng chuckled, “I’ll organize it.”

He began to categorize the knowledge.

Golden Horned Beast cultivation knowledge included 18 special secret techniques and 3199 ordinary secret techniques.

There were also introductions to other Starry Sky Behemoths, various human races, and different professions: Controller, Illusionist, Beast Tamer, Puppeteer, Hunter, Fighter… Among flesh-and-blood creatures, besides ‘humans’ and ‘Starry Sky Behemoths,’ there were also the ‘Monster Race,’ ‘Insect Race,’ and so on, with extensive introductions for each race.

Beyond flesh-and-blood races, there were also metal-based races, such as the Machine Race, as well as rock-based races, spirit-based races, plant-based races… At the same time, there were also extremely rare and unique races that, like Starry Sky Behemoths, possessed immense power but were few in number.

…

Simply explaining the countless human races, cultures, and so forth, if recorded in Huaxia characters, billions of words would be far from enough. And the human race was just one of the peak races in the vast universe.

…

Another month and three days passed before Luo Feng finally completed the organization and classification of the inheritance memory! In the future, if he needed specific knowledge, he could quickly search and find it within the vast inheritance. As for learning it all?

Good heavens!

No Golden Horned Beast could possibly learn all of this knowledge. Just going through the content of the 18 special secret techniques and 3199 ordinary secret techniques would take an unknown number of years.

“Luo Feng, you’ve struck gold, you’ve struck gold!!! My goodness, you actually have so much inherited knowledge?” Babata was utterly stunned after Luo Feng informed him of the classifications. “So the universe has so many races, and there are even rare races comparable to Starry Sky Behemoths?”

“As expected of a Starry Sky Behemoth, truly impressive, truly impressive,” Babata exclaimed in awe. “Even your teacher, with a lifespan of over sixty million years, couldn’t gather as much knowledge as you have.”

“There’s no comparison,” Babata was still in shock. “The inheritance of Starry Sky Behemoths, passed down through generations, such a profound foundation… Even among human races, perhaps only the knowledge repositories of nations like the Ganwu Universe Nation could compare to the inheritance memory of a Starry Sky Behemoth. It’s too incredible.”

After Luo Feng finished organizing everything, he too was filled with admiration.

The nobility of a bloodline was multifaceted. Innate talent was one aspect, the hardware, and this foundation of knowledge was the software!

“Babata, among Starry Sky Behemoths, only the twelve most powerful bloodlines can carry so many memories across generations,” Luo Feng explained.

“Twelve bloodlines?” Babata asked in surprise.

“Yes, among Starry Sky Behemoths, there are a total of twelve peak bloodlines that can directly reach the Sector Lord level upon growing up. The Flame Star Behemoth you mentioned earlier is also one of the twelve bloodlines!” Luo Feng now clearly understood these basic facts after organizing the memories. “The inheritance memories of the twelve bloodlines are the most extensive and richest. And each generation can add its own memories.”

Luo Feng now clearly understood how Golden Horned Beasts passed on their lineage. If a Golden Horned Beast wished to leave offspring, one method was to almost completely deplete its life force to condense an ‘egg’ and then expel it. The original Golden Horned Beast would then die within a few years. After the egg hatched, a Golden Horned Beast cub would emerge, beginning a new cycle.

“Tsk, tsk, Luo Feng, quickly check. How long will it take you to reach Sector Lord level?” Babata urged.

“Let me see.” Luo Feng quickly scanned through, reading it in a few seconds, and couldn’t help but be astonished.

“After a Golden Horned Beast hatches, if it doesn’t eat its eggshell but instead eats ordinary metal, it will take 10 years to reach Stellar Level 1. However, if it eats the eggshell and then a large amount of ordinary metal, it can achieve it in one year,” Luo Feng stated.

“One year? The little guy you possessed, is he only one year old?” Babata was speechless.

Luo Feng also sighed with emotion. The Golden Horned Beast that had brought Earth to the brink of apocalypse was just a one-year-old Golden Horned Beast infant?

“At a normal evolution speed, it takes 100 years to go from Stellar Level 1 to Universe Level 1.”

“From Universe Level 1 to Domain Lord Level 1, it takes 1000 years.”

“From Domain Lord Level 1 to Sector Lord, it takes 10,000 years,” Luo Feng directly stated. “This is the slowest speed. If some special methods are used, the evolution speed can be accelerated. Using specific metal compositions can facilitate the accelerated growth of the inner world, and strength can increase even faster!”

“It’s like manna from heaven!” Babata couldn’t help but exclaim. “Your teacher prepared so thoroughly, with the best cultivation plans and everything, yet you would still need over a hundred thousand years to ‘possibly’ reach Sector Lord!”

“Without your teacher’s detailed plans, and countless funds and treasures for cultivation, you’d be lucky to reach Universe Level in your lifetime. But now… with normal evolution speed, 10,000 years is enough?” Babata had not understood Golden Horned Beasts in the past, but now he finally had firsthand knowledge.

“Not that long. That’s the slowest speed,” Luo Feng said. “If there were endless funds to spend, accelerating the growth of the inner world, the time could be shortened by several times, or even more.”

“However, with 18 special secret techniques and 3199 ordinary secret techniques, I don’t know which ones to learn,” Luo Feng admitted. “These secret techniques have been passed down through generations of Golden Horned Beasts, and only Golden Horned Beasts can cultivate them. According to the key reminders in the inheritance memory, ‘don’t bite off more than you can chew.’ It advises me to learn at most two special secret techniques and no more than six ordinary ones. Any more, and there won’t be enough energy to learn them. In fact, fewer is better!”

“Oh?” Babata quickly responded. “First, tell me the general effects and cultivation conditions of the 18 special secret techniques and 3199 ordinary secret techniques. I’ll filter them for you and see if we can achieve the optimal combination.”

In terms of filtering ability, Luo Feng certainly couldn’t compare to Babata.

“Alright.” Luo Feng began to relay the general effects and cultivation conditions of the various secret techniques to Babata. As for the secret techniques themselves? There were far too many; even with mental transmission, a few years might not be enough.

Eight hours later, the general introductions of the 18 special secret techniques and 3199 ordinary secret techniques had all been transmitted to Babata, who began to use his intelligence to rapidly filter and combine them.

“Luo Feng, this ‘Golden Horned Beast’ should have innate abilities, right? I once saw its speed surge dramatically,” Babata said. “Tell me some information about its innate abilities so I can make the best possible combination.”

“Innate abilities? Just a moment.” Luo Feng learned from his memories that the Golden Horned Beast possessed a total of three innate abilities. As for the detailed information… he would naturally understand it completely once his soul entered its ‘inner world.’ These so-called innate abilities required no learning; they could be unleashed naturally.
