Chapter 492: Chapter492-Tempering Himself

High-stage Oracle-grade experts could travel freely through this place. In fact, moving here was even easier for them than navigating the outer regions.

For anyone below high-stage Oracle-grade, however, every step was extraordinarily difficult.

Daniel’s physical body had already been cultivated to an advanced stage. Although it was strong enough to withstand the chaotic currents of law that filled this region, he still had to proceed with extreme caution.

After traveling for some time, Daniel finally located the core of the innate formation.

As long as he stopped the formation core from functioning, every formation and restriction throughout the area would collapse.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed an extremely small spherical bead within his field of vision.

It was none other than the formation core.

The bead was only the size of a walnut. It floated silently in midair, continuously releasing all kinds of law power and supplying an endless stream of energy to the surrounding formation.

Daniel’s figure flashed as he flew toward it.

He carefully examined the tiny bead before reaching out and grasping it in his hand.

The instant his fingers closed around it, however, the bead suddenly trembled.

It began shaking violently back and forth.

Whoosh!

Daniel felt as though he had grabbed an uncontrollable wild stallion.

The bead dragged him upward at terrifying speed, carrying him toward some unknown destination.

What was even stranger was that the scenery within the depths of the forbidden land began to change before his eyes.

The surroundings gradually transformed into the scenery of another space.

It even evolved into something resembling a living world, although it did not appear to be a complete Plane of Life.

Daniel managed to catch only a fleeting glimpse of a stone monument.

A line of words had been carved across its surface.

Celestial Academy.

Immediately afterward, the entire world began spinning violently.

Daniel completely lost control of his body.

Even his consciousness began sinking into darkness, as though he might fall unconscious at any moment.

His powerful survival instincts left only a single thought within his mind.

He had to preserve his memories.

This place was most likely an inheritance ground.

In other words, what he was witnessing was probably a surviving fragment of memory left behind by the deceased T8 Oracle-grade expert.

Boom!

An explosion suddenly thundered through Daniel’s mind.

His vision went black.

After that, he knew nothing.

...

Celestial Academy.

"The peach tree glows in youthful bloom, its blossoms burning bright. The maiden now departs to wed, bringing harmony to her home."

A clear, melodious voice, as pleasant as the ringing of silver bells, sounded beside Daniel’s ears.

"Sophis, do you know what those lines mean?"

Daniel immediately opened his eyes and examined the person speaking before him.

She was a beautiful young woman in the prime of her youth.

At that moment, she was staring at him with an expectant expression.

Several other cultivators of roughly the same age stood nearby, looking at him with impatient and amused expressions.

A young man beside Daniel suddenly laughed.

"Sophis is a famously obsessive martial cultivator. All he knows is training. How could he possibly understand such romantic poetry from another universe?"

"If you asked him about some complicated cultivation problem, he could probably explain it to you for hundreds or even thousands of years without repeating himself."

"Hahaha!"

"Exactly. He’s nothing like idle young men such as us."

"Sophis is the one true genius of our academy."

"Now that the academy tournament has ended, he is unquestionably the number-one student of Celestial Academy."

Countless questions immediately appeared in Daniel’s mind.

Sophis?

Who was Sophis?

Could it be that—

A flash of realization suddenly crossed his thoughts.

He remembered now.

After his physical body and Destruction Law had both achieved some initial success, he had encountered the sacred eye formed from the laws of this place.

Then he had grasped the small bead.

The bead had carried him into what seemed to be the memories of a T8 Oracle-grade expert.

In other words...

Daniel’s gaze flickered.

"I am currently inside the memories of the deceased T8 Oracle-grade expert."

"This is a classic inheritance trial."

"There is practically a one-hundred-percent chance that I will obtain the inheritance after experiencing these memories."

Daniel immediately understood his situation.

He also realized that the T8 high-stage Oracle-grade expert was most likely named Sophis.

Sophis was probably the name of the T8 Oracle-grade powerhouse who had perished within the Sacred Origin Forbidden Land.

At present, Daniel had effectively merged with Sophis.

He was experiencing the memories of Sophis’s life from within Sophis’s own body.

Daniel returned his attention to the scene unfolding before him.

The beautiful young woman immediately stepped in front of Sophis as though protecting him.

She spoke with a serious expression.

"Stop making fun of him."

"If Sophis had not worked so hard, how could he possess such extraordinary strength and talent?"

"He has not even cultivated for very long, yet he has already reached third-stage Oracle-grade."

"Look at yourselves."

"You entered the academy much earlier than Sophis, but you are still only second-stage Oracle-grade."

"You truly do not work as hard as he does."

The surrounding students merely smiled when they saw the young woman defending him.

None of them appeared offended.

One of them laughed teasingly.

"Holly, we’re only envious of Sophis’s talent."

"We weren’t actually insulting him."

"Why are you defending him so passionately?"

"Could it be that you like him?"

"I think a young lady should be a little more reserved."

"If you behave too eagerly, others might not appreciate you."

"Ooh, look at the two of them."

"They’re displaying their affection right in front of us."

"What terrible sin did I commit to deserve this?"

"I really envy Sophis."

"He was born into a prestigious family, possesses extraordinary talent, and works harder than anyone else."

"More importantly, even the daughter of the academy’s headmaster has given him her heart."

"He is practically the winner of life that all of us dream of becoming."

"Exactly. I’m so jealous that I can barely stand it."

Only after listening to their teasing did Daniel realize that the young woman protecting Sophis was actually the daughter of Celestial Academy’s headmaster.

At that moment, Daniel suddenly felt a soft hand wrap around his arm.

Holly had directly linked her arm with his.

She raised her chin proudly and puffed out her chest.

"Are all of you trying to tell me what to do?"

The others hurriedly stuck out their tongues and shook their heads awkwardly.

"We wouldn’t dare."

"How could we possibly teach the esteemed young lady what to do?"

"As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters."

"But could you at least consider the feelings of single people like us?"

"You’re openly behaving like this in broad daylight."

"This is simply too cruel!"

Several of the students pretended to be furious before turning around and walking away with exaggerated indignation.

Holly watched their departing backs and laughed.

Her laughter rang out like silver bells.

She then turned to look at Sophis.

At that moment, Daniel suddenly thought of someone.

Ars.

A trace of emotion appeared in his heart.

He wondered how Ars was doing now.

Just then, Holly tugged gently on his arm and spoke in a spoiled tone.

"Sophis, do you know what the poem I recited means?"

Sophis blinked.

As it happened, he had once encountered the poem in an ancient record.

According to what he had read, it originated from an extremely old civilization in another universe.

The lines surfaced within his mind once more.

The peach tree glows in youthful bloom.

Its blossoms burn with radiant light.

The maiden now departs to wed.

May she bring harmony to her household.

Sophis drew in a deep breath and explained,

"These lines come from an ancient collection of poetry."

"They describe a beautiful young woman who is about to be married."

"She leaves her family filled with joy and travels to the household of her husband."

"There, she will help maintain harmony within the family, establish a peaceful home, bear descendants, and allow the clan to flourish."
