"Mr. Luo, could you tell me about this inheritance?" Qin Yu asked, his face full of pleading.
"Yu'er!" Qin De shouted sharply, cutting off Qin Yu's question. Though he too desperately wanted this inheritance, Qin Yu had been far too eager, making his question extremely impolite.
With an inheritance like this, no matter how harsh its requirements were, how could it possibly be passed on so easily?
"Mr. Luo, my son was disrespectful just now." Qin De personally apologized, then continued, "But as you know, I am in great need of this inheritance. I hope you can part with it. Name whatever conditions you wish; as long as I can fulfill them, I will never break my word."
Qin De's words were rather interesting. He would never break his word as long as he could fulfill the conditions—but if he could not, did that mean he could go back on his word?
However, Cao Bing did not care. Since he had already brought things this far, he had no intention of hiding anything.
"Mr. Qin, there is no need for this." Cao Bing continued, "There is actually nothing that cannot be passed on. Please allow me to explain in detail."
"That inheritance simply uses different terms from the current classifications of cultivators. Martial Artists at the Houtian level are collectively called Trainee Level, while Xiantian Martial Artists are called Warrior level. Their strength must reach 1,000 jin, and their speed must reach seventy-five meters in one breath. In the Stellar Transformation World, one jin is equivalent to one kilogram in Devouring Starry Sky, otherwise the calculations would be difficult to standardize. One breath equals three seconds."
"Among them, an Elementary Warrior has a strength of 1,000 jin and a speed of seventy-five meters in one breath. An Intermediate Warrior has a strength of 2,000 jin and a speed of 120 meters in one breath. An Advanced Warrior has a strength of 4,000 jin and a speed of 180 meters in one breath."
Cao Bing paused briefly for breath, but the others were already dumbfounded. This so-called Warrior level had completely exceeded their understanding.
"How is that possible?!" An astonished cry suddenly came from afar. A refined middle-aged man in white came flying over on a sword, landing steadily beside Qin De.
"Brother Feng."
"Uncle Feng."
"Greetings, Immortal Master."
Several people on Qin De's side hurriedly clasped their hands in salute.
"Greetings, Immortal Master!" Cao Bing quickly followed suit and gave the man a deep bow. This man should be Feng Yuzi, the Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator in Qin De's residence.
"Brother Qin, Yu'er." Feng Yuzi gave the two a slight nod, then said to the others, including Cao Bing, "No need for such formalities."
"This young friend, was what you said just now true?" Feng Yuzi asked with a frown.
"I would not dare deceive you all," Cao Bing replied calmly.
He truly had not lied. That was indeed how the Devouring Starry Sky World classified its realms.
Seeing that Cao Bing did not appear to be lying, Feng Yuzi immediately fell into deep thought. After a long while, he said, "If that is true, then this method of external cultivation is truly inconceivable."
"Brother Feng, what do you mean?" Qin De asked in confusion. He knew Cao Bing's description had been astonishing, but he had not thought it would be enough to amaze an Immortal Master of the Golden Core Stage.
"Brother Qin, you do not understand. According to what this young brother has said, the physical body of an Advanced Warrior is already comparable to that of a Golden Core Stage Cultivator. If someone like that truly got close, even an Immortal Master would have some chance of being injured," Feng Yuzi said slowly with a soft sigh.
"What? They can injure an Immortal Master?!" Everyone was shocked. In their minds, an Immortal Master was an Immortal Master. Even a Xiantian Great Perfection expert would not dare claim to be able to injure one.
"Does this young friend have anything beyond that?" Feng Yuzi asked again.
"Of course. Beyond that, there are three more realms: Warrior General level, God of War level, and Transcendent level!" Cao Bing then explained those levels. As for the Planetary level, he did not mention it and merely called it the Transcendent level, saying only that he knew its name but not its specific abilities.
Even so, what Cao Bing had said today was enough to leave them all shocked beyond words.
Feng Yuzi in particular had spent his entire life studying cultivation, yet he had been rendered speechless by an entirely different power system. It took him a long time to recover, though this inheritance seemed incomplete.
"I thought I already knew how vast heaven and earth were, but it turns out I was merely a frog at the bottom of a well!" Feng Yuzi sighed, his mind dazed.
"I must thank you, young friend, for revealing such a secret," Feng Yuzi said, clasping his hands.
"Immortal Master, there is no need to thank me." Cao Bing hurriedly stepped aside. His strength was still too low; he could not yet accept Feng Yuzi's gratitude.
"Uncle Feng, how do these Warrior Generals and Gods of War compare to Cultivators?" Qin Yu asked curiously.
"They belong to different systems, so it is difficult to judge them directly. I can only make a rough analysis." Feng Yuzi shook his head. After seeming to ponder for a moment, he said, "The physical strength of an external cultivator at the Warrior General level already surpasses that of a Cultivator. A Golden Core Stage Cultivator would find it extremely difficult to kill one using True Essence Power alone. However, Spirit Artifacts, spells, formations, treasures, and the like could still kill them.
"As for the God of War level, Golden Core Stage Cultivators can only avoid them. Although God of War level Martial Artists cannot fly, their speed and physical strength are simply too terrifying. Even Flying Swords of the Low-grade Spirit Artifact level would find it difficult to kill them. If they truly caught up and exhausted one's True Essence Power, one could only let oneself be slaughtered. And even if they were outmatched, a God of War level expert could flee at tremendous speed.
"Therefore, in my view, to truly kill or defeat a God of War level expert, one would need a Nascent Soul level expert to act or use a Mid-grade Spirit Artifact!"
As Feng Yuzi said this, Qin Yu's eyes instantly lit up, and even Zhao Yunxing's eyes revealed an unusual gleam.
"I see." After hearing the analysis of a professional Cultivator like Feng Yuzi, Cao Bing gained a general understanding of the Cultivator power system. Their physical bodies were weak, and they relied entirely on True Essence Power to control various magical treasures and formations to kill.
However, it was difficult to say whether Martial Artists or Cultivators were superior.
"Mr. Qin, this is the follow-up cultivation method for external cultivation. Please keep it safe." As he spoke, Cao Bing took out a translated version of the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Chapter from the Gene Primal Energy Cultivation Method of the Devouring Starry Sky World.
As for more advanced versions, Cao Bing would not give them away. His relationship with Qin De and the others had not reached that point, and he had to keep something in reserve.
"Thank you, Mr. Luo!" Qin De carefully put away the cultivation method and said excitedly, "As I said before, Mr. Luo, feel free to make any request."
Cao Bing nodded, then turned his gaze toward Feng Yuzi.
"Mr. Qin, Immortal Master, I have no other request. I only ask that the Immortal Master teach me the path of cultivation." Cao Bing wore a respectful expression as he spoke solemnly and sincerely.
"The path of cultivation?" Feng Yuzi gave him a profound look. "Young friend, you already possess this inheritance. Why do you still seek the path of cultivation?"
"Immortal Master, leaving aside the fact that this inheritance only reaches the God of War level, I am still far from even reaching the Houtian Peak. Moreover, how could the path of Martial Artists compare to the longevity of cultivation? Even God of War level experts only live a few hundred years at most. I do not ask the Immortal Master to teach me the essence of your art. I only ask that you guide me through the door."
Cao Bing pleaded.
"Very well, I shall teach you. However, I have no authority to pass down my sect's cultivation arts. You can only cultivate mundane techniques and make breakthroughs on your own. Are you willing?" Feng Yuzi asked in a low, serious voice.
"I am willing!" Cao Bing said excitedly. Having a Golden Core Stage expert like Feng Yuzi to teach him was a hundred times better than groping his way forward alone.
"Uncle Feng, I want to listen too!" Qin Yu suddenly said.
"Good! Yu'er, come along as well." Feng Yuzi smiled.
Cao Bing glanced at Qin Yu. As expected of Qin De's son. His treatment is far better than mine. I schemed for so long just to get an opportunity, while Qin Yu can sit in just by saying a single word.
Of course, Cao Bing was not jealous. He still needed to use this opportunity to build a good foundation with Qin Yu.
