Chapter 1336 - 1322: Inheritance of Fire

Baiyu naturally wouldn’t refuse Gai Tianhan’s proposal.

The inheritance left by the old ancestor at the Feathered Realm indeed had no one capable of inheriting it, not even the ability to stay in it for a day or two. So over the years, this inheritance has remained there, treated as the foundation of the Star Shining Sect.

Gai Tianhan.

At this moment, he appeared to have put resources to reasonable use.

Because, at this point, he already felt that nothing was more important than Ascension, more important than understanding the truth of this world.

Therefore.

Baiyu was someone he could somewhat trust.

As for the talk of demons from beyond the world, for cultivators at the lower levels, these extraterrestrial demons were naturally something to be vanquished, but at Gai Tianhan’s level, he already knew that these outsiders were essentially no different from them, all humans, just from different worlds.

They were neither aiming to destroy the Profound Origin Realm.

Nor were they the culprits behind the depletion of Spiritual Qi.

Gai Tianhan harbored no discrimination against Baiyu, nor much hostility, especially now knowing this world was false, Gai Tianhan was even less inclined to care about Baiyu’s identity.

He had already become aware.

This outsider was immensely powerful, and even he was not absolutely sure of being able to overcome them, unless he disregarded everything to forcefully break through to Ascension, or even Feather Transformation.

But that way.

His time in the Mortal Realm would be extremely limited.

According to the scattered words left by those in the Feather Transformation Realm, once reaching the realm where they could ascend, they would be summoned by some unknown force.

However.

After reaching the Ascension Realm, those cultivators indeed could not remain in the Mortal Realm for long; every action could easily cause tremors in the world’s space.

Any random action.

Could cause immense disaster.

Very quickly.

Baiyu arrived at the ruins of the Feathered Realm expert. With Gai Tianhan opening the way, he encountered basically no danger.

Upon entering the ruins.

Baiyu suddenly found himself surrounded by flames, unextinguishable, and in this sea of fire stood a high platform, on which an elder in a black robe sat lifelessly, his body emanating countless flames inside and out.

Even Baiyu.

Had to circulate Blood Qi to resist the heat.

He glanced at the corpse.

Obviously.

This was the Feathered Realm expert who left the ruins; as for why he never ascended in the end, Baiyu was unsure, perhaps he saw some bizarre visions like the Sword Monarch during ascension. Maybe he foresaw his death.

Thus.

He preferred not to ascend, ultimately dying in the Mortal World due to Spiritual Qi depletion, living out his lifespan.

Baiyu took a deep breath.

He slowly approached the high platform, and as he stepped onto it, the corpse suddenly turned to dust, floating in the air.

Baiyu found it a bit strange.

This guy.

Splitting and reassembling, was he playing with building blocks?

However.

Soon, Baiyu sat in the guy’s position and felt an incessant influx of Fire True Qi attacking him from all sides, irresistible.

Very soon, Baiyu realized.

Why no one could withstand this inherited force.

Because the Star Shining Sect’s Feathered Realm ancestor left no inheritance at all; these energies were dispersed after his death, confined here by simple arrangements, not to disperse into the air.

Therefore.

This was entirely the True Qi of a whole Feathered Realm ancestor!

Even an Enlightenment Realm cultivator, an Ascension Realm one, would be crushed here, unless another Feathered Realm existed to take it all in.

And as Gai Tianhan had said.

To leave this place, one must either fully accept the inheritance or leave voluntarily.

But leaving voluntarily.

Would mean all the acquired True Qi here would return back, possibly more than before, a loss with no gain.

Apparently, Gai Tianhan had been here.

However.

He must have only stayed awhile, then left directly, as no one but a Feathered Realm cultivator could absorb everything in this place.

"A test..."

Baiyu thought to himself.

Gai Tianhan truly thought highly of himself, testing him even in situations like this, to gauge his actual capability at whatever stage.

Nonetheless.

Regarding such a test.

Baiyu didn’t mind, since this guy was giving him a great gift.

At this moment.

Baiyu directly opened the scholar space, continuously drawing energy here, converging all the Fire True Qi onto a Tai Mai Ancient Tree branch he was given.

Very quickly.

The branch gradually turned red and scorching hot.

As the endless influx of Fire True Qi poured in, it underwent a dramatic transformation, though it was originally a Tai Mai Ancient Tree branch.

Even though the Tai Mai Ancient Tree couldn’t compare to the so-called Green Mother, the Mother of All Trees, it was nonetheless a demigod entity.

A section of branch.

Enough to be a treasure.

And this branch absorbed a substantial amount of Fire Spiritual Qi, quickly reaching the total amount Baiyu could absorb from the legacy site. This great gift, of course, Baiyu accepted without hesitation.

However.

Before absorption, Baiyu felt he should break through the Giant Spirit Realm to reach the Nascent Soul Realm.

After all.

Even if True Qi increases, it won’t elevate the realm.

These two factors must advance in tandem.

Very quickly.

He emerged from the forbidden land.

Gai Tianhan’s residence wasn’t far from the forbidden land, and Baiyu went straight there.

Seeing Baiyu, Gai Tianhan wasn’t surprised, saying, "It seems you weren’t destined to fully absorb the Feathered Realm treasure."

"No no, I’m here to ask you for materials to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. These materials are not easy to come by, so I won’t waste time looking, you probably have them, right? Don’t worry, I won’t take them for free, we can trade." Baiyu said.

Gai Tianhan’s gaze slowly shifted, revealing an astonished expression: "Were you able to accept the inheritance?"

"Hmm..."

Baiyu naturally wouldn’t say he stored the Fire True Qi in a Tai Mai Ancient Tree branch, then placed the branch into the scholar space, so the True Qi couldn’t escape.

This was basically exploiting a loophole.

"Here are the materials, take them."

Gai Tianhan generously took out a large pile of materials from his storage bag without even blinking.

Apparently.

He wasn’t lacking in supplies.

After Baiyu obtained the materials, he returned to the place of inheritance.

Endless Fire True Qi flowed forth.

But Baiyu quickly absorbed them directly into his body, beginning to slowly condense his Nascent Soul.

This process.

Was extremely swift.

With virtually no obstacles, Baiyu reached the Nascent Soul Realm directly.

Once entering the Nascent Soul.

He didn’t hesitate, charging again toward the Enlightenment Realm.
