Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 116: Entering the Inheritance Site

No one had to remind anyone about it, as the fluctuations were felt by everyone—it was as if the whole space around them was vibrating.

The tear looked quite small, but it was just an illusion, as it was so far away that no one could even imagine how high it was in the sky.

Jiang Hao even wondered if it was possible to reach that high while flying. Was it even within the boundaries of this world, or outside? That too remained a mystery to him.

The spatial tear was completely black, and it was perfectly straight, like a cut made by an impeccable sword stroke.

"It’s starting now. Let’s see how far the spatial node will be from us."

Just as Huan Caiyi finished her sentence, the spatial tear trembled, and once again, spatial fluctuations were felt by everyone. These fluctuations were mild, and mortals might not even sense them.

After these fluctuations subsided, multiple spatial nodes formed in the sky of the Eastern Region, acting like gateways to reach the original spatial tear.

Jiang Hao could see the nearest spatial node—it was above in the sky, at least 5,000 meters away from them. He could already feel the pull from this tear.

"You all must have felt the pull, right? In a few moments, it will increase. At that time, give in to the pull. This happens to every cultivator who is within 10,000 meters of the spatial node.

The strongest cultivators will feel it first, followed by the weakest.

Once you feel the strong pull, that will be the beginning of the one-year stay in the inheritance site.

Do remember that our portraits might already be known to everyone in the world, so wear your masks if you don’t wish to invite trouble."

Jiang Hao and Ming Yue nodded, although they would have worn them even if the world didn’t know them. Ming Yue’s beauty would become a problem, while Jiang Hao now enjoyed wearing them in public places.

In just five minutes, Huan Caiyi felt the pull. freewebnσvel.cѳm

"Very well, let us go. Take care of yourselves." After saying that, Huan Caiyi disappeared. Meiying went along with her.

"Don’t cause too much trouble, and take care." Zhi Hui also disappeared.

Jiang Hao and Ming Yue nodded once again and waited for the same pull.

In two minutes, they felt it.

"Alright, junior brother, let’s see if we can meet inside."

Jiang Hao nodded and gave up resisting the pull he was feeling. This was similar to the sensation when he teleported using the ring.

Immediately, he was pulled into the void and, in an instant, arrived inside the inheritance site.

The moment he landed on the ground, he felt an immense concentration of spirit qi. He felt that if he actively absorbed it than the speed will similar ot half of the speed of absorbing spirit stones.

So to say, this environment had spirit concentration equal to half that of a lower-grade spirit stone—that’s a very high concentration. Not to mention, this entire world had a similar concentration throughout.

No wonder other cultivators eagerly awaited entry into the inheritance sites. For them—who didn’t need as many resources as Jiang Hao—they could benefit immensely just by cultivating peacefully within this world.

But perhaps only ordinary cultivators did that, as geniuses might be seeking other opportunities that could change their destiny. After all, treasures and inheritances could increase one’s battle strength permanently, which was far more valuable than merely raising one’s cultivation realm.

In the end, one could cultivate by staying in their sect too, so using the time given in the inheritance site for simple cultivation would be a waste—at least for geniuses.

Jiang Hao looked around. The place didn’t look much different from the outside.

He could see mountains in the distance. He flew up and observed the area around him. He was currently inside a forest. There seemed to be a river to his left, and on the right, there was nothing but trees.

It looked similar to the Dark Forest. The only difference was that there were no beasts here, and the trees were even bigger than those in the Dark Forest.

One more thing that was visible was a single pillar of light going toward the sky. This must be the nearest safe zone around him.

The light pillar looked quite far from here. Calculating the exact distance wasn’t possible.

He didn’t see anyone nearby, but there must definitely be others within this forest.

He descended and wore his mask—it was, once again, a simple plain black mask.

According to Senior Huan, he was in the core area of this inheritance site, which was the center of the entire inheritance site.

If that was correct, then most cultivators would try to reach the safe zone as quickly as possible.

Only those confident in their strength would not rush. In fact, they might try to hunt others.

He couldn’t help but wonder—does the mask of righteousness work here too? Maybe it does in the wilderness when lots of people are around, but definitely not when two people meet alone.

Forget righteousness—there were devil sects in this world too. They were mostly hidden. Only those strong enough to stand against the top righteous sects would operate openly.

In the Eastern Region, there were two such sects, but they weren’t mentioned much by others. He didn’t know how many were still in hiding.

They would have definitely come to this inheritance site. This place was even more of a heaven for them than for others. Most devilish cultivation techniques were based on killings and blood, so a place where they could legally kill as much as they wanted wasn’t something they would ever miss.

Now, what should he do? He didn’t need to cultivate like others, nor did he need any inheritances. They wouldn’t help him anyway—his path had already been fixed by his physique.

But if he got any by chance, he wouldn’t discard them. They could be helpful in some other way—who knew? Not to mention, inheritances would also provide resources in the form of spirit stones and spirit herbs. These resources were collected by the senior cultivators who had left their inheritances.

Given their strength, it would definitely be a lot—even more than what they had obtained in the territory lord’s domain.

The main reason he came here was to gain knowledge and experience. Seeing different types of cultivators would be truly helpful in this regard.

He had started his cultivation journey almost two years ago but had not seen much. He had always lived in isolation.

He had planned to travel the entire world once he was strong enough, so it would be helpful to gain some experience beforehand.

The second factor was that this world right now might contain all the disciples and cultivators who were at the peak of their realm.

There might be other cultivators from other regions, but they could never match in number the cultivators from the Eastern Region.

Among those numbers were definitely cultivators from Blazing Valley. No one would want to miss such a golden opportunity, so almost all of their peak cultivators from every cultivation realm would be present.

And this inheritance site might be the best place to send a message. In fact, he could kill them in front of stronger cultivators from their sect, and they would not be able to do a thing to stop him.

He wasn’t going to kill all of them—just those whom he deemed fit for killing. He had no plans of killing truly innocent ones unless they stood in his way.

This was the perfect opportunity to let them know that their decision to target him had been the worst decision of their lives.

Right now, he was at the peak of the Core Formation Realm. Even if he did nothing, he would reach the Soul Sea Realm in a few months. So if possible, he wished to find them before he advanced.

He looked toward the safe zone and decided to go there, just like the others. It would be the place where the chances of meeting them would be higher.

Once they grouped up, they would also leave the safe zone to search for inheritances and opportunities—and that would be the perfect time to have a good word with them.

His speed was normal. There was no need to move hastily. Reaching early or late wouldn’t change anything. Even though he was walking, his speed wasn’t slow.

...

He walked for half an hour, but the pillar of light still seemed just as far away as when he first saw it upon arriving. This proved that it was indeed very far.

Just as he was about to increase his speed a little more, he heard the clashing of swords—it was very faint.

He stopped and listened carefully. It was to his left. He moved toward it and arrived near a pond. On the edge of the pond, two cultivators seemed to be engaged in battle.

He was a little surprised because one of the cultivators was from Mountain Sword Sect, while the other he didn’t recognize.

There was no badge on his waist, but the robes didn’t match any of the sects he knew—at least none from Thousand Petal Order or Blazing Valley.

Also, they didn’t belong to either of the two sects from the Central Region. He stopped a little distance away and watched the fight.

Although the Mountain Sword Sect had some relation with him, he had no intention of helping their disciple’s.

"I was the one who saw this spirit herb first, you should back off."

It was said by the disciple of Mountain Sword Sect.

"Oh... what kind of logic is that? Just because you saw it, it’ll be yours?"
