Inheritance: Fifth Level
As Lu Yan'an pondered, that mysterious force, seemingly the Primal Universe, descended once more.
"The Fifth Level!" A mighty voice resounded directly in Lu Yan'an's mind. It wasn't speaking to any Wen Yu, but Lu Yan'an instantly understood that it meant the 'Fifth Level'. Moreover, the strange voice kept echoing in Lu Yan'an's mind, and these voices made Lu Yan'an sink deeper into it once again.
They were trapped in a strange illusion.
Within that illusion, the deeper mysteries of the Way of the Beast God were revealed to Lu Yan'an in the most meticulous manner, tearing apart all the profound aspects of the Fusion Laws, explaining them inch by inch. It was so detailed! It was as if a super strong person was directly pouring the mysteries into Lu Yan'an's mind!
This is far more effective than viewing the "Darkness Chaos Stele." Although the Darkness Chaos Stele also elucidates some of the Fusion Laws of "time and light," the Lord of Darkness ultimately did not achieve his status Universe Master through the Fusion Laws. The Darkness Chaos Stele is a summary of the Lord of Darkness's own path after achieving his status as the Universe Master.
The original Lord of Darkness followed the Way of the Beast God, which Time Fusion Law. Therefore, the first few images on the Darkness Chaos Stele naturally depicted the Time Fusion Law. Later, his understanding of the Law of Space surpassed his understanding of the Time Fusion Law. Furthermore, to become the Universe Master through the Fusion Laws, one must comprehend the Heart of the Beast God. Even within the Ancestral God Religion, with its complete lineage, finding individuals who have comprehended the Heart of the Beast God is extremely difficult, let alone for the Human Race, which lacks the Beast God Inheritance.
Time continued to flow, and after an unknown amount of time, this inexplicable force began to dissipate.
The surrounding black mist abruptly repelled Lu Yan'an, causing him to tumble backward and fly away.
"Is this the power of inheritance?" Lu Yan'an blinked, his eyes burning with fervor. "I feel that all the mysteries of the Time Fusion Law have been revealed before my eyes."
"I cultivated in that Secret Abyss for over 100,000 years, trying to figure out the relationship between Secret Pattern and laws to Creation Secret Technique. However, I never broke free from the framework of the Time Fusion Law. My accumulation of this Time Fusion Law is already sufficient. Now, all that's missing is the final step of this inheritance! With accumulated knowledge, countless inspirations are colliding in my mind. I feel that if I do it again, I can step into the sixth level of the Way of the Beast God."
Lu Yan'an hadn't felt this way in a long time. This spark of inspiration, this rapid advancement in understanding the laws, was incredibly addictive. Compared to the ascetic training he had undergone in the Secret Abyss, this state of sparking inspiration was the most superior state of enlightenment! However, the Beast God Inheritance wasn't something that would be permanently imprinted in one's mind once received.
Just like before, when he woke up, he was certain he had dreamt of a certain story, but could only recall a small part of it. Of course, since becoming a powerful figure, Lu Yan'an hadn't had this kind of unclear memory. But now, he had this feeling again. Everything about receiving the inheritance was hazy; he could only remember a part of the mysteries of the Fifth Level inheritance, and couldn't remember the rest at all, yet he was certain that he had experienced that scene.
"Haha, are you a little confused?" the Yi Venerable on the meteorite asked with a laugh.
Upon hearing Yi Venerable's slightly benign teasing remark, Lu Yan'an, who had been standing motionless in the void, was startled awake, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"The Inheritance Land is a naturally formed place in the universe, incredibly mysterious, and also an absolute stronghold of the Ancestral God Religion," said Yi Venerable. "Each time you receive an inheritance, we will first observe your Law Comprehension the laws. The Beast God Inheritance is divided into seven levels. If you have fully comprehended the first four levels but not the Fifth Level, then the inheritance Inheritance Land... will be the inheritance of the Fifth Level. If you have Fifth Level, then the inheritance you receive will be the inheritance of the sixth level."
"How's your comprehension going?" Yi Venerable asked Lu Yan'an with considerable curiosity. "Which level?"
"The Fifth Level," Lu Yan'an said with a smile, "I'd say it was quite a fruitful experience."
"What? The Fifth Level? You're not kidding?" To everyone's surprise, Yi Venerable asked excitedly upon hearing Lu Yan'an's answer, seemingly even more excited than Lu Yan'an himself.
"If that strange voice is correct, then it should be the Fifth Level without a doubt," Lu Yan'an said innocently, stroking his smooth chin.
"Hiss!" Yi Venerable looked at Lu Yan'an with the eyes of someone looking at a monster. "Do you know what the concept of this Fifth Level inheritance is?" After slowly calming himself down, Yi Venerable asked Lu Yan'an.
Then, without waiting for Lu Yan'an's reply, he continued, "Generally speaking, those who initially entered at the King Level inheritor stage are usually able to reach the third level of inheritance. A few can reach the fourth level, which is at the Universe Venerable level! As for the fifth level..."
"If your current level of understanding of the Way of the Beast God is at the fifth level, then your level of understanding is in no way inferior to mine!"
His words were heavy and his emotions incredibly complex; the meaning he wanted to express was also very clear. For a moment, Lu Yan'an didn't know how to respond.
Seemingly sensing Lu Yan'an's predicament, Yi Venerable smiled and said, "Since you feel you've gained something, then hurry up and carefully experience it! The worst thing about the Beast God Inheritance is not having any feeling at all; then you'll be helpless. Since you have many inspirations, go back and carefully comprehend them immediately... especially study the Way of the Beast God thoroughly. Some memories you seemed to have forgotten after receiving the inheritance will reappear."
"And don't think the inheritance is very effective." Yi Venerable looked at Lu Yan'an. "It's good to gain something from the inheritance, but don't be too complacent. This is because you accumulated countless doubts during your previous cultivation and comprehension. When the inheritance presents all the correct answers to you, you will naturally have this misconception!"
"Without the repeated reflections, failures, and doubts you experienced during your cultivation, you wouldn't gain anything even if you received the inheritance. You would forget everything completely," Yi Venerable solemnly warned. It seemed he truly thought highly of Lu Yan'an. If he didn't, he wouldn't have shared so many details with him.
This Beast God Inheritance is more like an enhanced version of the Chaos Stele. Although it is very effective in helping people comprehend the laws, it still requires cultivators to diligently cultivate and comprehend them in their daily lives.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, then go back! Oh, right, there's something else I need to tell you." Yi Venerable had just waved his hand to shoo him away when he suddenly seemed to remember something and continued, "The Beast God Inheritance is divided into seven levels. You have one free opportunity to comprehend each level. And each free opportunity is only once. If you need to comprehend an additional level, you must either fully comprehend the current level of inheritance or earn Glory Point in the 'Glory World' to exchange for a new opportunity. You'll know all the details once you log into the Glory World!"
After speaking, Yi Venerable pointed behind Lu Yan'an: "The entrance to the spatial passage is right behind you. If you want to leave, go that way."
Lu Yan'an bowed respectfully, then looked back and saw a region in the void rippling with transparent waves. He immediately flew into it.
"Finally, let me tell you two things: First, killing is prohibited within the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. Sparring and dueling are allowed, but if you attempt to kill your opponent, you will be attacked by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake! Of course, once you leave the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, no one will bother you. Second, every inheritor on Zijing Island has a palace or residence. Your palace is your own territory, and other powerful individuals are prohibited from trespassing. Similarly, you are prohibited from trespassing into the residences of other powerful individuals unless you are accompanied by their master or they give you permission."
"Remember these two points."
The instant Lu Yan'an's figure vanished, a voice transmission suddenly rang in his ear, and the next moment, he completely disappeared. Only the subtle ripples of space remained...
Only the Yi Venerable, seated atop the meteorite, remained in the void. He watched Lu Yan'an being teleported away, muttering to himself, "The King Huanshi? He's Lu Yan'an, the one who's actually World Lord? Truly extraordinary. A mere World Lord reaching the Fifth Level of inheritance. That's close to the level of Overlord's Law Comprehension! But why didn't he break through to the Venerable...?"
