767: Chapter 766 Senior, my spiritual power is 499.5 Hertz!

“Young friend, I am the artifact spirit of this spirit blade of destruction. Guiding you here is because I wish to bestow an Opportunity upon you.”

The artifact spirit's voice was old and gentle.

His illusory figure floated in front of Qin Yan, his black robe gently fluttering in the wind.

“As for that Opportunity, you should not be unfamiliar with it—it is the Legacy of my master, Venerable Destruction.”

At this point, a look of pride suddenly appeared on the artifact spirit's aged face.

In his eyes, a bright light flickered—a light of pride, and of infinite reverence for his master.

His master was a peerless Prodigy; except for the Prodigies of those super forces, he had never been defeated in battles within the same Realm!

Venerable Destruction fought countless battles throughout his life, defeating countless powerful enemies and slaying countless opponents.

His talent, his strength, and his battle achievements were unmatched among his peers.

Hearing this, an expression of 'as expected' appeared on Qin Yan's face, and he was not too surprised in his heart.

He had already guessed earlier why he was guided here.

He had thought of various possibilities, one of which was that his talent was that of a Prodigy, and he had cultivated the Great Destruction Spear Intent, which was compatible with Venerable Destruction's Legacy.

This was not him being narcissistic, but a fact.

He wasn't guided here earlier or later, but precisely right after he had just condensed the Great Destruction Spear Intent—this timing forced him to think more about it.

If he did not meet the conditions for the Legacy, why would the artifact spirit appear the very first moment he condensed the Great Destruction Spear Intent?

If he were not compatible with the Dao of Destruction, why would the artifact spirit go to such great lengths to bring him here?

However, the only thing he hadn't expected was that the expert who guided him here was actually an artifact spirit.

“But I really never thought about obtaining Venerable Destruction's Legacy...”

Qin Yan smiled bitterly in his heart.

Before coming to the Ruined Battlefield, he had never considered this matter.

His goals were very clear—the Extinction Spear Intent and the Great Destruction Spear Intent.

As for Venerable Destruction's Legacy, it was not part of his plan.

After all, the Dao of Destruction was not his future path.

His future would likely focus on the Five Elements and Yin and Yang, or Dark Spiritual Power, or perhaps the demonic or blood Daos.

Five Elements and Yin and Yang—Taiyin and Taiyang Spear Intent, the balance of Yin and Yang, the cycle of birth and destruction.

Dark Spiritual Power—Shadow Clone, Dark Altar, Abyss Fire Lotus.

Demonic and Blood—Indestructible Blood Demon Body, Blood Demon Nest, Four Secrets of the Heavenly Demon.

These were already too many; he could barely manage to Cultivate them all.

This resulted in him having absolutely no spare time to Cultivate the Dao of Destruction.

“Thank you for your kindness, Senior. This Junior is deeply grateful.”

Qin Yan spoke with a sincere tone, not declining it.

Regardless of whether he had thought about it before, or whether he would need it in the future, since an Opportunity had been delivered right in front of him, he naturally wouldn't let it go.

Venerable Destruction's Legacy, the lifelong learning of a Late Stage Venerable expert, contained Cultivation Techniques, Martial Skills, insights, and experiences, all of which were extremely valuable treasures.

Even if he did not major in the Dao of Destruction, he could still draw nourishment from it for his own use.

Moreover, he also cultivated the Great Destruction Spear Intent, so Venerable Destruction's Legacy would naturally be of considerable help to him.

With Venerable Destruction's Legacy, his understanding of the Great Destruction Spear Intent would become deeper, his application of it more effortless, and his future cultivation in the Great Destruction Domain would also be faster, saving him a lot of time.

“Senior, I wonder what this test is?”

Qin Yan asked, looking directly at the artifact spirit.

According to the situation in the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, every Legacy left behind by a deceased powerhouse would have tests set up to filter Martial Artists. Only those who ultimately passed the test could inherit the Legacy.

Some of these tests evaluated strength, some evaluated Comprehension Ability, some evaluated willpower, and some evaluated moral character.

They varied greatly and were all different.

He wanted to see what Venerable Destruction's test was. Was it combat? Was it comprehending the Dao? Or was it something else?

“The test is very simple: you just need to obtain my approval.”

The artifact spirit spoke, his tone relaxed.

Hearing this, Qin Yan was slightly taken aback.

Was this test really that flexible?

Qin Yan muttered to himself, an unexpected look flashing in his eyes.

“Then, Senior, have I already obtained your approval?”

Qin Yan continued to ask.

He did not say this out of blind arrogance, but because he had a basis for it.

He had previously learned that, up until now, no one else had been able to reach this place of inheritance like him.

He was very likely the first person!

For decades, countless powerhouses had come to try, but they were all blocked outside by the Destruction Black Mist.

And he was the only one who had been actively guided in by the artifact spirit.

Furthermore, from the moment they met just now, the old artifact spirit's gaze toward him was filled with satisfaction and praise, that appreciation almost entirely unconcealed.

Combining the above two points, Qin Yan felt that he was nine times out of ten already a sure bet.

“Approved of half,” the artifact spirit stroked his illusory beard, pretending to be profound.

Although in his heart he was extremely satisfied with the youth in front of him—a possessor of Supreme-grade Spear Intent who also harbored such pure power of destruction, a talent far more Prodigy-like than his master back then—he absolutely could not make this satisfaction too obvious.

Otherwise, it would make his master Venerable Destruction's Legacy seem very cheap, as if it would be eagerly handed over on a silver platter to just anyone who came along.

The Legacy could be given, but the necessary tests and reserve could not be lacking in the slightest.

The artifact spirit said, “Young friend Qin Yan, next I will ask you a few questions.”

Qin Yan said, “Senior, please ask.”

His face was calm, his tone indifferent, without the slightest tension.

Venerable Destruction's Legacy was right before his eyes, but his mindset was very stable—to obtain it is my fortune, to lose it is my fate.

It cannot be forced, nor is there any need to force it.

The artifact spirit immediately spoke, “How many hertz of Mental Energy do you have now?”

His gaze swept over Qin Yan, his eyes carrying a bit of inquiry, a bit of anticipation—but mostly, a lack of hope.

He did not hold much hope for Qin Yan's answer, because he had already sensed that Qin Yan's blood qi was extremely vigorous, which was simply not something a normal Sixth-Rank Martial Artist could possess.

The other party was absolutely dual cultivating Qi Refining and Body Refining!

Qi Refining Rank 6 Peak, Body Refining Rank 6 Peak; both had reached the limit of the Sixth Rank.

Dual cultivating Qi Refining and Body Refining, and still wanting to additionally Cultivate Mental Energy? The difficulty was simply too great!

A person's energy is limited, and time is also limited.

To be able to achieve success in both Qi Refining and Body Refining at the same time already made him a one-in-a-million Genius.

To also make achievements in Mental Energy required not just talent, not just effort, but also Opportunity, luck, and the favor of the heavens.

However, Qin Yan's next words gave his spirit a jolt!

“Senior, this Junior's Mental Energy is 499.5 hertz.”
