Chapter 162: the final stage

The growth was less than expected; the hundred Blood Cry Asura only managed to push his spiritual space by a little.

But it was understandable. If it was that easy to grow spiritual space, then there wouldn't have been only one Saint in the entire history of Green Heaven World.

"Please prepare yourself. In three minutes, you will be transferred to the courtyard of Blood Moon Ancestor for the final test," the mysterious voice sounded once again.

David was surprised and a little bit disappointed; he wanted to massacre Blood Asura and grow his spiritual space.

But whatever.

Meanwhile, the audience outside the Bloodmoon Ancestor's spiritual space was left speechless once again; today, their worldview was flipped completely upside down.

"He..." someone pointed their fingers at the screen and muttered in disbelief.

He wasn't the only one with this reaction. At this point, everyone wanted to know who this young man really was and especially about the Bank of Origin.

In the void, the four Void Refining experts had solemn expressions on their faces.

This young man had shocked them to their core.

"Hmm! Zenith Immortal and Bank of Eternal Origin," Governor Surf Noir muttered with a strange light in his eyes.

Although he didn't find anything about David for now, he stumbled upon this familiar name while going through the rankers list.

Such a terrifying dark horse had risen right under his nose, and he had no idea about it.

If the word were to get out and reach the imperial capital, his reputation would be ruined.

The reactions of the Morgan sisters weren't any different; only Alchemist Gilbert appeared slightly laid back, not really caring about David's phenomenal strength.

It would have been interesting to see how he would react if David had displayed such terrifying talent in terms of alchemy.

Sadly, we had no way of knowing.

Time continued to pass. Just as it was time to move to the next stage, a window displaying a row of text suddenly popped up in front of him.

[Regretfully! You lost one of your clients today. However, the Bank of Eternal Origin can never suffer a loss.

Even if he died, the client will have to pay back somehow; therefore, his soul was captured. You now have the following options. Keep in mind that you can only choose one.

1 - Extract Client's Crystallization of Life (The Sweet talker, Grade - Uncommon)

2 - Extract Joshua's memories from his birth till his death.

3 - Any item that the client owned in his lifetime.

4 - Do Nothing, let the compound interest do its thing and decide again when the Client dies in his next life.

Please note that capturing the soul and imprisoning it requires a large amount of mana, because of which you only have one week left to make a choice.]

"Ah! Another weakling," David muttered under his breath after giving the notification a cursory glance.

Given his present situation, David didn't even need to think about his options. Without hesitation, he chose the first option and extracted the poor guy's Crystallization of Life.

Immediately, a strong sense of completeness was transferred to his brain. Now his Crystallization of Life just needed a light nudge, and it would finally evolve.

But as he got closer to evolving it, a deep sense of crisis was starting to take root in his heart.

This was a feeling he couldn't understand; how could getting stronger be bad for him?

Just as David was thinking, three minutes finally elapsed, and without delay, a blood-red glow enveloped David's body. When the glow disappeared, he found himself in an ancient-looking courtyard.

He was barefoot, and the clothes that he was wearing had changed, going from a modern elegant suit to a plain white flowing robe.

Someone was already here!

David immediately noticed the presence of another cultivator beside him.

Turning his head slowly, his eyes landed on a beautiful girl with a noble bearing standing elegantly, her demeanor calm and composed.

Right now, her gaze was fixated on a blurry figure in the distance.

Even when David suddenly appeared, the girl didn't turn her head to look at him, as if he was not worth her time.

David also didn't care about the girl after taking one look; he followed the girl's gaze to see what she was looking at.

A blurry figure of an old man whose eyes seemed to contain the sun and the moon appeared in his vision. The man moved in a strange fashion, performing a strange technique. seaʀᴄh thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

His gentle movement seemed to contain terrifying might that appeared to affect the law rhythm around him.

Suddenly, David turned his head away and looked towards his side.

A bat had unknowingly appeared near him without him even realizing.

"You truly are strange," a voice filled with curiosity came out of the bat's mouth.

The spirit was internally shocked, not expecting David to be able to notice his arrival with the slight disturbance in the void around him.

"Anyways, now that you are here, we can finally begin..."

Before the bat spirit could finish speaking, it was interrupted by Angelica Green Heaven.

"I don't know why you are not letting me take all the inheritance, but if you think this random guy would be able to stop me, then you better give up."

Angelica's face was filled with confidence, and she had every reason to be confident. She already had the Blood Moon Order, and moreover, she was already in the top ten of the Golden Core ranking. There was hardly anyone who could defeat her.

Unless she encountered a top ranker, but what were the chances of meeting one here in this vast world?

David almost fell to the ground head first after listening to her words. Why did it feel like she was targeting him even though he didn't even know her?

"If Blood Moon Ancestor was here, he would definitely approve of my method," the bat spirit coldly smiled at her words and didn't elaborate.

"Anyways, this is the place where Bloodmoon Ancestor breathed his last. The injuries that he had received during his battle with Green Heaven Saint were too grievous; he had long realized that he wouldn't be able to live for long."

The spirit suddenly stopped and looked at Angelica with clear disgust in its eyes.

"Ah! As if everyone would believe your words. The whole world knows how close Green Heaven Saint and Bloodmoon Ancestor were."

Angelica immediately spoke to refute his claims.

On the other hand, David's eyes widened in astonishment after hearing the spirit's words. He seemed to have unknowingly stumbled upon a fat, juicy conspiracy.

David immediately became interested. It appeared the relationship between Blood Moon Ancestor and Green Heaven Saint wasn't as good as people outside claimed.

He wondered for how much he could sell this information on the web.

The spirit ignored Angelica's words and continued, "Predicting his end, he designed this last stage to pass down his true inheritance to a cultivator who could learn his most important technique."

"See this figure over there," the spirit pointed at the blurry figure.

"This is Blood Ancestor's shadow, which was formed when he was cultivating for the last time. This shadow contains his insights on the path of cultivation and the profundities of his technique."

"Meditate and try to grasp his technique. The first person who is able to understand the technique will be the true inheritor of his legacy."

After speaking those words, the bat spirit fell silent and performed a hand seal, following which the ground shook, and a white pillar appeared in front of both David and Angelica.

"As soon as you understand the technique, the pillar will turn red."

"Moreover, let me warn you beforehand: when this shadow was formed, Blood Moon Ancestor's mental health was in turmoil, so if you focus too much, you might face a severe backlash," the bat spirit explained in a solemn tone.

His words seemed to be specially directed at David, so sensing the goodwill, he immediately nodded.

"Now begin!"

As soon as the words left the bat spirit's mouth, Angelica immediately sat down cross-legged and started to meditate.

David also followed suit; he didn't want to fall behind.

Meanwhile, outside, the crowd was going mad. As soon as David appeared in the courtyard, the screen had disappeared.

Moreover, the Dimensional gate also disappeared. Explore more at m,v l'e-NovelFire.net

The cultivators were confused.

"It appears Manager is going to inherit his legacy," Sebastian spoke with a small smile on his face.

Mary, who was standing by his side, nodded with a happy smile on her beautiful face.

Up in the void, Governor Surf Noir also sighed.

It appeared he would be forced to make a difficult decision in some time.

The faces of other Void Refining experts had also turned serious.

However, none of them bothered explaining the situation to the crowd so they could calm down.

David took a deep breath and focused, intently looking at each and every action of the blurry figure.

One minute...

Two minutes...

Five minutes passed, but David didn't understand a single thing.
