My Crazy Upgrade System

Chapter 546: Chapter 545: Inheritance

The condition to receive the inheritance was just that simple: one merely had to complete and comprehend two trials to meet the qualifying standard for an Inheritor. However, though it sounded simple, the journey was incredibly arduous. Many Cultivators were stymied while climbing the Divine Ladder, or later, while climbing the Heaven-Ascending Ladder, they were simply unable to reach the very top.

In reality, very few ever managed to reach the top; those who could were a tiny minority. In the past, only a few out of thirty people would successfully reach the summit, which was a testament to the immense difficulty.

Under normal circumstances, after everyone who successfully reached the summit met the standard, a competitive trial would be held to select the most outstanding Inheritor from among them.

Who would have known that out of so many people, only Yi Tianyun would successfully comprehend the first two levels of the Qiankun Divine Technique. As a result, all other Trial Takers were judged to have failed. And not only did they fail, but he was made to expel all the losers. This trial was even more ruthless than the standard one.

This situation had occurred mainly because he was not a disciple of the Flying Heaven Divine Kingdom, which had led to this unusual alternative.

Of course, Yi Tianyun didn’t mind this at all. To him, one-on-one combat was just a way to gain a massive amount of experience.

The remainder was a standard trial passage; passing through it meant successfully arriving here and completing the trial. The overall difficulty was manageable, and since it had earned Yi Tianyun a great deal of experience, he was quite satisfied.

Even if he didn’t obtain the inheritance, he would have been quite satisfied. At the very least, he had leveled up twice here. What could be more satisfying than that?

"Mm, I think I understand the gist of it now." Yi Tianyun nodded. Only after briefly reviewing the information did he grasp why this situation had come about.

He then looked up at the Illusion Spirit and said, "Can I receive the inheritance now?"

"No problem, but you must agree to one thing and swear an oath. Otherwise, you cannot receive the inheritance!" the Illusion Spirit said in a heavy tone.

"What is it?" Yi Tianyun frowned. ’So even at the final step, it’s not going to be that easy.’

"If you encounter a disciple of the Flying Heaven Divine Kingdom’s royal bloodline, you are to pass on everything you learn here to them, and you must protect them!" the Illusion Spirit said.

’So in the end, letting a Foreigner like me complete the trial is just a disguised reward for finding someone for them...’ Yi Tianyun shook his head. ’For the sake of his own family’s bloodline, the Creation Celestial Divine King really pulled out all the stops.’

But if word of this reward ever got out, everyone would fight to the death to obtain it. This inheritance was no simple matter. Besides the Qiankun Divine Technique, it also contained all the insights of a Creator Divine Rune Master. This meant that if a Divine Rune Master who was already skilled were to obtain this inheritance, they could very well become the next Creator Divine Rune Master!

The numerous Martial Arts and the insights of a Creator Divine Rune Master alone were enough to make various factions fight to the death, and even launch an all-out war for it.

If the Saint Master of the Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom knew what was here, he would absolutely risk everything to seize this entire inheritance. Cultivating the Qiankun Divine Technique allowed one to break through to the Divine King Stage—how could they not be tempted?

This was a Martial Art exclusive to a Divine King, an absolutely top-tier Heaven-rank Martial Art. Who wouldn’t be moved? Not only that, but the inheritor could also control the Ascension Divine Altar, and upon reaching the Spirit King Stage, could freely travel between the Celestial Realm and the Netherworld. It was truly an incredible gift.

’Receiving so many Treasures in exchange for looking after a descendant of the Flying Heaven Divine Kingdom isn’t a problem; in fact, it’s a small price to pay. I just have to teach them, it’s not like I have to cripple my own cultivation. No one would ever agree to that.’

’Besides, I have to find this person first. If I can’t find them, there’s nothing to pass on, is there?’

"Do you agree or not?" the Illusion Spirit said, staring at him.

"And if I don’t agree?" Yi Tianyun asked.

"If you do not agree, I will erase your memory before I let you leave!" the Illusion Spirit stated, its expression blank.

Yi Tianyun had already obtained two levels of the Qiankun Divine Technique. While not a lot, he at least knew how to cultivate it. How could the spirit possibly let him leave with that knowledge?

Yi Tianyun squinted at it. "It seems I have no choice but to agree," he said. "However, if I really wanted to leave, no one could stop me. But since you’re offering me such a great inheritance, it would be a fool’s errand not to take it."

If he didn’t agree, he couldn’t get the inheritance. He had no choice but to accept. ’It’s not a huge problem, anyway. It’s not like it’s telling me to go out of my way to find this person. I just have to pass on the inheritance if I happen to run into them.’

’If I really wanted to escape, a single Instant Teleportation would get me out of here. No matter how powerful the Illusion Spirit is, it can’t leave this Ascension Divine Altar.’

"Then swear the oath!" The Illusion Spirit motioned for him to proceed.

"Speaking of which, what exactly do you mean by ’protect him’?" Yi Tianyun shrugged. "If he goes around provoking powerful factions at will, wouldn’t I be left holding the bag? I’m no babysitter. What if he turns out to be some spoiled heir or a chronic troublemaker? What am I supposed to do then?"

"If his cultivation is at the Spirit King Stage or above, you do not need to protect him. Below the Spirit King Stage, you must protect him. No matter what he has done, you must protect him! However, if he has committed countless evil deeds, then please, execute him in my master’s place!" The Illusion Spirit finally said something that sounded fair.

’If the descendant I find turns out to be a murderous maniac, how am I supposed to protect him? I’d rather give up this inheritance than protect a madman who slaughters innocents every day. And I’m supposed to help him? That’s a complete joke!’

"That’s more fair, and it doesn’t put me in an impossible position. I, Yi Tianyun, swear that if I find a descendant of the Flying Heaven Divine Kingdom, I will pass on the entirety of the Creation Celestial Divine King’s inheritance that I receive, and I will protect them until they reach the Spirit King Stage. If they commit irredeemable evil, I will personally execute them on the Creation Celestial Divine King’s behalf!"

After he swore the oath, a brilliant light burst forth from the sky, shot into his soul, and seared a brand upon it. This oath could not be undone until it was fulfilled.

"Ding! Quest accepted: ’Find the Heir of the Creation Celestial Divine King.’ Completion Reward: 200,000,000 Experience Points, 500,000 Madness Value, Favorability with the Heir of the Creation Celestial Divine King +100!"

"Is that acceptable?" Yi Tianyun asked, looking up.

"It is." The Illusion Spirit nodded, then controlled a nearby orb of light. It shot forward and swiftly enveloped Yi Tianyun, and torrents of memories began to flood into his mind.

Yi Tianyun began to accept these memories, using his Eye of Investigation to scan and record every piece of information. The memories were vast, mostly consisting of astonishing Heaven-rank Martial Arts, including the Qiankun Divine Technique.

The Qiankun Divine Technique was the most important part; the other Heaven-rank Martial Arts were merely complementary. The truly most powerful technique was the Qiankun Divine Technique. Back then, the Creation Celestial Divine King had relied on it to make his name in a single battle, becoming one of the strongest Divine Kings!

Besides that, there were piles of insights—cultivation insights and Divine Rune Master insights. To him, these were utterly meaningless. He didn’t need these so-called insights; he just needed to practice more to increase his Skill Level. He had no use for insights whatsoever.

Others had bottlenecks, but all he needed was Skill Level!
