777: Chapter 776 Three Paths of Inheritance

From the initial "find a successor," to the later "test Qin Yan," and now to "will Qin Yan accept it."

It had changed from giving the other party an Opportunity to worrying about whether the other party would accept this Opportunity.

The artifact spirit cast its gaze toward Qin Yan.

It saw that at this moment, he was not timid in the face of danger—the Destruction Battle Blade hovered above his head, its pressure like a mountain, yet he did not retreat.

Brave—knowing he was no match, he still held his spear and went into battle.

Persistent—the pressure grew stronger, his body became more painful, yet he did not give up.

Such character, such Heart-Nature, such willpower were worthy of its recognition.

The artifact spirit waved its large hand, and the Destruction Battle Blade suppressing Qin Yan instantly dissipated.

The destruction aura receded like the tide. The pressure vanished like a mountain.

Qin Yan felt his body lighten; the force that had been making it hard for him to breathe suddenly disappeared.

His body lost its support, and he began to fall toward the ground involuntarily.

At this moment, a wisp of destruction aura surged from the artifact spirit's hand, transforming into an invisible hand that supported Qin Yan, preventing him from falling.

Qin Yan looked up and saw that the artifact spirit had appeared before him at some unknown point.

The old man's figure was still illusory, but his eyes were full of gratification.

"Little Friend Qin Yan, congratulations on passing the test."

The artifact spirit spoke immediately.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan was slightly stunned.

"Senior, hasn't the time not reached three days yet? Why have I passed the test now?"

Now, only half of the third day had passed; why had the test ended?

The artifact spirit was silent for a moment before slowly saying: "For this final stage, I mainly wanted to see if Little Friend's character passed, whether you possessed great perseverance, great persistence, and firm willpower."

"I have seen Little Friend's performance with my own eyes, and you have gained my recognition."

It could hardly say that it was afraid Qin Yan would be pushed too far and, in a fit of anger, decide to leave?

If Qin Yan really left, where would it find another such suitable successor?

Supreme Spear Intent, dark spirit, triple-cultivation Prodigy—such a Prodigy was rare to see in ten thousand years.

If missed, it might never appear again.

Therefore, it ended the test early.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan felt something was strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Little Friend, you have fought for so long; you should recover first." The artifact spirit spoke at the right moment.

Hearing this, Qin Yan nodded.

He felt sore all over, his blood and Qi circulation were blocked, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

Three days and two nights of fighting had pushed his body to its limit.

His True Qi was exhausted, his Mental Energy was exhausted, and his blood and Qi had been mostly depleted.

Immediately, Qin Yan sat cross-legged, formed hand Seals, and fully circulated the Five Elements Primordial Scripture and the Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture.

The surging power of blood and Qi and the Five Elements True Qi circulated within his body simultaneously, like two rushing rivers, washing away the fatigue and injuries.

In just a quarter of an hour, Qin Yan opened his eyes again. The aura around his body had regained its stability, and even his complexion had turned rosy again.

Seeing him recover so quickly, a trace of surprise flashed in the old eyes of the artifact spirit again. However, thinking of the kid's monstrous battle prowess, it felt relieved—the grade of the Cultivation Technique the other party practiced was definitely shockingly high, at least top-tier Earthly Fiend or even higher, so it was only natural that his recovery speed was faster.

"Senior, may I now accept Venerable Destruction's Legacy?" Qin Yan came before the artifact spirit and said.

He had spent a full three days without cultivating just to obtain this Venerable Destruction's Legacy!

Three days—for him, three days without cultivating was a huge waste.

This made him feel terrible!

Only this Venerable Destruction's Legacy could console his wounded heart!

"Hahaha, of course you can." The artifact spirit nodded with a smile, "Little Friend, I will now bestow my master's Legacy upon you."

After the artifact spirit finished speaking, it waved its hand, and three spheres of light suddenly appeared beside it.

The three spheres of light floated in the Void Realm, similar in size, but their colors and auras were completely different—the sphere on the far left was gray, emitting a thick destruction aura;

The sphere in the middle was black, emitting deep Mental Energy fluctuations;

The sphere on the far right was dark gold, emitting a sharp edge of the Dao of the blade.

"Little Friend Qin Yan, my master's Legacy is mainly divided into three parts."

The artifact spirit said slowly.

After speaking, the artifact spirit pointed to the gray sphere on the far left and introduced: "This one is the Legacy of my master's insights, Cultivation Techniques, and experience in Qi Refining. It contains the destruction Cultivation Technique, blade techniques, and his understanding of various Realms that he practiced throughout his life. This part of the Legacy is the core of my master's achievements in the field of martial arts Qi Refining."

After introducing the first one, the artifact spirit pointed to the black sphere.

"This sphere of light is my master's Mental Energy cultivation insights and spirit Array Legacy. My master's Mental Energy reached seven hundred forty-four Hz, and his accomplishments in spirit Arrays reached the level of a Grade 9 Spirit Array Master. This part of the Legacy contains some small methods for Mental Energy cultivation, basic knowledge of spirit Arrays, and the inheritance of various Formations."

Finally, the artifact spirit's finger pointed to the dark gold sphere, its tone becoming more solemn: "This sphere contains two-thousandths of my master's Profound Truth of the blade, as well as two-thousandths of the Profound Truth of destruction. Little Friend, you must never reveal the fact that you possess so many Profound Truths. Profound Truths are treasures of heaven and earth, power that countless Martial Artists dream of."

"An innocent man is innocent, but possession of a treasure is a crime—once exposed, countless experts will come to trouble you. Even Supremes, or even True Kings, will be tempted."

The artifact spirit warned, its eyes full of seriousness.

Two-thousandths of the Profound Truth of the blade plus two-thousandths of the Profound Truth of destruction totaled four-thousandths of Profound Truth.

This amount of Profound Truth was enough to attract the interest of some experts!

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan nodded.

But his gaze remained fixed on the second sphere of light.

For him, the most useful was the Spirit Array Master's Legacy.

As long as he learned spirit Arrays, his comprehensive combat ability would be greatly improved!

A Spirit Array Master could set up various Formations—trapping Formations to trap enemies, killing Formations to exterminate enemies, illusion Formations to confuse enemies, and defensive Formations to protect teammates.

Moreover, a Spirit Array Master could mobilize the power of heaven and earth, winning against the strong with the weak, and winning against the many with the few.

With the Spirit Array Master's Legacy, his strength would welcome another leap.

As for the Profound Truth of the blade and the Profound Truth of destruction that the artifact spirit valued highly, they did not have much appeal to him.

First, he did not practice blade techniques, so the Profound Truth of the blade was useless to him;

Second, his body currently could not accommodate so many Profound Truths—the Profound Truths in his body were already saturated, and he could not absorb any more.

Even if he obtained them, he could only Seal them temporarily and wait until he broke through to the Grandmaster Realm in the future to absorb those Profound Truths and improve his talent.
