Chapter 5: Inheritance

Master

The way that can be told is not the eternal way

Do not plead for the corners of the eyes to be torn, as it will splatter a large amount of fresh blood

The first to appear before Wu Qi was the phrase "Stealing the Scriptures".

The way of the husband is such that while heaven and earth are abundant, humanity is insufficient; thus, one should take the abundance of heaven and earth to supplement oneself. When others have abundance and I am lacking, I should take the abundance of others to supplement myself

In Wu Qi's mind, the originally dark purple sea of consciousness had begun to radiate a faint glimmer of water light, with vast waves surging within it. A hazy figure floated above the towering waves, imparting to Wu Qi the entirety of a complex and profound text, "The Stolen Sutra".

My disciples, live well!

The heavens do not forsake my descendants; today I finally witness the 'Seven Mysteries Stealing the Heavenly Vein.' My path shall have successors!

Upon catching sight of those two beams of bright light, one instinctively knows that they belong to Wu Wang and Le Xiaobai's souls

With millions of words flowing freely, that figure reads each word clearly, presenting them one by one in the void. Do not beg to hear them vaguely, yet remember them with utmost clarity. Each word has directly merged into his soul, never to be forgotten again

In that moment, an infinite array of wondrous lights suddenly flickered before him, as if breaking through a thin layer of soap bubble. He abruptly beheld a dazzling starry sky. It was entirely different from the night sky he usually observed on Earth; the celestial bodies he saw at that moment were extraordinarily vast and magnificent, their brilliance exceptionally radiant, resplendent in gold and jade. Countless stars hung far in the distance, yet they appeared as if they were right before his eyes, immense and unparalleled.

One by one, the ancient characters, as clear and translucent as crystal, shone with a magnificent and mysterious rainbow light, revealing themselves in the pitch-black void. The figure recited scriptures in a booming voice; with each word he uttered, a colorful character took shape in the emptiness.

Little White

Wu Wang's left calf bone suddenly erupted with an astonishing explosion of power, disrupting the energy flow of the Great Void Teleportation Array. The immense energies collided with one another, resembling a nuclear chain reaction, resulting in a terrifying explosion

The shadow of death descended in an instant, and Mo Qi's heart suddenly stopped beating. He opened his mouth, seemingly feeling the chilling breath of the Grim Reaper spewing forth before him. He seemed to have already seen himself, like Wu Wang and Le Xiaobai, being crushed to dust, with even his soul completely annihilated.

With a sharp crack, his entire garment was torn to shreds, and his skin was ripped apart by immense pressure, causing large splashes of blood to spray out.

In the state between half-asleep and half-awake, he could only feel his body lightly floating in a pitch-black void devoid of daylight. Before him, a hazy figure that seemed as if it could vanish at any moment was gazing at him from a distance.

A powerful attraction emanated from Wu Qi's body, drawing in the shattered soul particles of Wu Wang and Le Xiaobai one by one into Wu Qi's form

A soft sigh escaped, as if Mo Qi heard that figure utter a phrase

The sea embraces all rivers, for it is great in its capacity; only by accumulating fine grains of sand can majestic mountains and towering ridges emerge; only by gathering tiny drops of water can boundless oceans and deep abysses come into being

The mist is becoming increasingly faint, and it is about to disappear.

The power of the Great Void Translocation Array propelled Wu Qi rapidly through the vast emptiness, covering an unknown distance with each blink, breaking through numerous natural or intentionally created barriers in the void. The deep blue waves firmly protected Wu Qi, while the chilling and piercing energy continuously cleansed his body, causing a large amount of filth and impurities to be expelled from within him, transforming into black refuse that was crushed by the surrounding pressure.

The chill flowed inch by inch, thread by thread, through Wu Qi's arms. Ultimately, the token of the leader of the Stealing Heaven and Changing Day Sect quietly shattered into dust. A ball of blue light, the size of a water tank, shot out from the token and silently merged into Wu Qi's body. A satisfied sigh echoed in the void, faint and ethereal, resembling the lament of a ghost.

Then there was a long silence, and that figure quietly gazed at Wu Qi, suddenly letting out a deep sigh

With a sudden jolt, Mo Qi abruptly opened his eyes and regained consciousness

Gradually, as the cultivation of the "Source Chapter" progressed to a remarkable stage, within Wu Qi's body, there unexpectedly emerged the sound of the Yangtze River flowing and the waves reminiscent of those during the reading of the *Illustrated Book*.

The mist ultimately dissipated into nothingness, leaving behind a faint sigh in the void

Centered around Wu Qi's two arms, accompanied by the murmured recitation of that figure, a chilling energy flowed with a lively motion. The opening chapter of "The Theft of the Scriptures," a cultivation technique titled "Water Source Chapter of the Seven Mysterious Spirit Building Method," gradually took root within Wu Qi's body

The shadow, whose features were obscured and indistinct, let out a strange laugh and suddenly burst apart

A continuous, dense, soft yet resilient, cold and bone-chilling airflow surged forth from the sect leader's token, instantly swirling around Wu Qi's entire body

In just a fleeting moment, in a time span shorter than a millionth of a second, the already charged Great Void Teleportation Array successfully transported Wu Qi, Le Xiaobai, and Wu Wang. The explosion destroyed mountains within hundreds of kilometers around Machu Picchu, yet it did not harm a single hair on the three of them.

Shaking his head, this figure suddenly laughed three times towards the sky and casually slapped his palm on Wu Qi's forehead

The deep blue waves that protected his body had been completely absorbed, transforming into a surging current flowing through the meridians of his arms. The immense pressure from the surrounding stars was causing his bones to crack, and it seemed that his body could no longer withstand the pressure, on the verge of being crushed to pieces.

Just before the mist finally dissipated, a faint and dull thunder roared through the thin fog, instantly shattering the void

In the book, it states: "In the world, everything is attainable, and nothing is beyond theft"

Wu Wang and Le Xiaobai, one a master and the other a friend, were the ones who brought Wu Qi out of the terrifying Africa. They imparted to Wu Qi a wealth of skills, enabling him to survive in this world. Now, before his eyes, the two are shattering into pieces, meeting the most tragic death imaginable, with their souls scattered and their bones turned to dust

The densely packed stars swiftly transformed into streaks of flowing light, while an immense pressure from the stars surged wildly from all directions

The chilling airflow swept through Wu Qi's entire body in the blink of an eye, rapidly concentrating within his arms. Wu Qi felt as if his arms were submerged in ice water, so cold that his whole body trembled. His arms could no longer move at all, completely frozen by the latent airflow.

In that instant, a wave of soft, cold, and ethereal air surged from beneath Wu Qi's feet. The token of the leader of the Stealing Heaven and Changing Sun Sect, hidden under Wu Qi's sole, came into contact with the blood that Wu Qi had splattered, suddenly erupting in a dazzling aquamarine light

A mist enveloped Wu Qi entirely, suddenly propelling him forward at a speed that was millions of times faster than the great void's shifting starry array.

Do not beg for the body to stiffen; suddenly, a dazzling blue glow erupted from his entire being. His mind jolted, and he had already lost consciousness.

Unfortunate child

Do not beg for a deep breath; in conjunction with the techniques of the "Source Chapter," guide the ethereal blue energy within to flow gently throughout the body.

"Entering my door is both your fortune and your misfortune. In the future, whether it be fortune or calamity, it is up to you; if it is fortune, do not thank me; if it is misfortune, do not blame me"

Wu Wang, whose left leg had been blown to pieces and was already dead, flickered for a moment, his body crushed into countless fragments by the pressure. Le Xiaobai could only let out a desperate cry; his frail body had long since been shattered. Both were ground into the smallest energy particles, and two strange beams of colorful light erupted from within them, only to be instantly crushed by the surrounding pressure.

A faint mist emerged from Wu Qi's forehead, instantly transforming into the figure that Wu Qi had seen in the purple palace of his consciousness.

Do not beg, as the Daoist Master Miaoyuan and Shangguan Ye outside the Great Void Teleportation Array are glaring fiercely, and the array suddenly explodes

When the souls of two individuals were crushed and transformed into countless colorful particles, one could not help but cry out in a torrent of tears, screaming in a state of utter despair

Covered in blood and in tatters, like a torn flesh pouch, it whirled and flew into the shattered space

My way can only be passed down to one person per generation. If you live a peaceful life, that is good. If you die, do your utmost to pass down my great way

It seems like a second, yet it also feels like a lifetime.

The immense pressure crushed the tears and blood of Wu Qi, instantly acting upon him

Do not beg to endure the sudden surge of terrifying speed, as the skin on the body bursts inch by inch, rolling back the eyes and fainting again.
