Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 433 "Broken", "East", "River"

"Though I have perished, I have left behind a virtual consciousness."

Duan Donghe looked at Luo Xia, "I created a virtual consciousness based on my true thoughts, memories, and personality. This way, I can wait patiently for the next person to accept the inheritance, and I can leave behind a virtual consciousness... This is also one of the methods of the inheritance space."

At this point, Duan Donghe smiled: "The inheritance space has many functions; it is a treasure created by the three generations of patriarchs specifically for the inheritance of knowledge. You will learn about its many other functions later."

"My virtual consciousness controls this inheritance space, and you cannot acknowledge it as your master for the time being."

"I must voluntarily relinquish control before you will acknowledge me as your master."

"Before you acknowledge Christ... there is one thing you must do."

Duan Donghe looked at Luo Xia.

Luo Xia said respectfully, "Teacher, please speak."

"Swear an oath." Duan Donghe's expression suddenly became extremely solemn. "Follow me and learn!"

Rorschach nodded and listened attentively.

Duan Donghe said solemnly and slowly:

"I, in the name of the new Duan Donghe, swear an oath, with the mark of inheritance as my witness... I, Duan Donghe Luo Xia, will never reveal the core inheritance of the Duan Donghe lineage to outsiders. If I break this oath, may my soul be annihilated."

"must?"

Luo Xia looked at Duan Donghe and grinned.

This oath is not to be taken lightly. According to the tradition, if one takes it and then breaks it, one's soul will truly be annihilated.

"Absolutely." Duan Donghe nodded solemnly. "Otherwise, you will perish, and I will choose another successor."

This "fall" doesn't mean that Luo Xia's physical body will perish, but that his soul will also perish.

Because the mark of his heritage has become part of his soul.

Even if Luo Xia dies now, his soul imprint will follow him after he is reborn.

Rorschach nodded and said directly;

"I, in the name of the new Duan Donghe, swear an oath, with the mark of inheritance as my witness... I, Duan Donghe Luo Xia, will never reveal the core inheritance of the Duan Donghe lineage to outsiders. If I break this oath, may my soul be annihilated."

The sound echoed, lingering in my ears and mind; the mark between my brows lit up, and the sound penetrated deep into my soul.

"If I break this oath, may my soul be annihilated."

"May the soul perish..."

"May the soul perish..."

A series of sounds echoed continuously within his soul.

After swearing the oath, Luo Xia frowned and looked at Duan Donghe beside him with a puzzled expression.

Duan Donghe nodded slightly and explained:

"This mark of inheritance will never fade. You may die and be resurrected. But even if you are resurrected, you will still carry this mark of inheritance, forever... Once you break your oath, the mark of inheritance will annihilate your soul. Even if you are resurrected, you will be annihilated again... endless resurrection and annihilation."

Rorschach nodded.

"Of course, as long as you don't reveal the core inheritance to outsiders."

Duan Donghe nodded. "Alright, before you acknowledge this inheritance space as your master, I will tell you all the most important information and treasures."

"Come with me."

Duan Donghe pointed to the void, and a spatial gate appeared directly in the void.

Duan Donghe and Luo Xia flew directly into the spatial gate, one after the other.

……

All around was endless lake water, with a small island in the center. On the island were ordinary wooden houses, and in front of the houses was a pond.

The Duan Dong River landed on the edge of the pond.

"This independent space is arguably the most important of all the spaces in the inheritance space." Duan Donghe pointed to the top of the pond. "You see those three black pebbles floating above the water?"

Rorschach looked over.

The pond was not large, but three smooth, black pebbles were always floating on its surface.

"This is called the Stone of Memory, also known as the Stone of Inheritance," Duan Donghe said. "It can store a large amount of memory information; storing all the memory information of a super strong person is a very easy matter."

"These three pebbles... are the very foundation of my Duan Donghe lineage!"

Duan Donghe solemnly said.

Rorschach nodded.

"Look at the pond again."

With a wave of his hand, Duan Donghe caused all the water in the pond to fly up instantly, revealing black pebbles at the bottom of the pond—there were probably tens of thousands of them!

"Look again at that endless ocean."

Duan Donghe waved his hand again.

Rumble...

The endless ocean surrounding the small island rumbled and swelled... The endless seawater began to float, as if heaven and earth had reversed, with all the seawater suspended in the sky.

Below was an empty space, revealing trenches, underwater canyons, and so on... At a glance, with Rorschach's eyesight, he could see some black pebbles scattered in the trenches and canyons.

"They are all stones of memory," Duan Donghe said with a smile. "These black stones you see are all stones of memory."

"These three... are the foundation, the essence of the core inheritance!" Duan Donghe said, his tone very serious and earnest. "They are the greatest contribution left to my Duan Donghe lineage by the three generations of patriarchs."

"There are a total of 12002 memory stones in the pond, which also belong to the core inheritance."

Duan Donghe smiled as he said this: "However, they represent many different schools of thought, such as melee combat, ranged attacks, treasure refining, or mechanics, etc. The skills and cultivation methods contained within are enough to drive your universe sea crazy."

"And in the endless ocean, hundreds of millions of memory stones are scattered randomly."

"Those are all information gathered by the strong members of my Duandonghe lineage during their adventures. They are all-encompassing, including information on the basic skills of my hometown civilization. Of course, what is recorded is only the basic and superficial, just like the basic inheritance you received."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia immediately grinned, showing his teeth.

The library!

It's practically a super library, or rather, a "template" left behind by that ancient civilization. After Rorschach, he could completely replicate the ancient civilization where the Broken East River was located by relying on the hundreds of millions of memory stones in the endless ocean.

"These 12002 Memory Stones."

Duan Donghe pointed to the bottom of the pond, "These are the pride of generations of inheritors, the fruits of their labor! Of course, some are also top-notch cultivation information that has been collected, all of which are invaluable. Each memory stone is enough to start a war."

"These three... could even incite war between the super powers of my homeland."

"Remember, the information contained in these three and the 12002 must not be divulged," Duan Donghe solemnly instructed. "As for those in the endless ocean, they are yours to keep."

"Yes," Rorschach replied.

"Try enveloping these three Memory Stones with divine power," Duan Donghe said. "You have the mark of inheritance, so these three Memory Stones will recognize you and pass on all the inheritance they contain to you."

Rorschach nodded.

He divided his divine power.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Three invisible divine forces extended out and quickly enveloped the three black pebbles.

The moment they touched, the three black pebbles gleamed, ancient and complex patterns appearing on their surfaces. Immediately afterward, a surge of information rushed into Luo Xia's mind.

A massive amount of information!

The message was spread like wildfire...

At Rorschach's processing speed, it took a full three hours to complete the transmission.

……

Duan Donghe stood aside, smiling as he watched. Luo Xia slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with a thoughtful expression.

These three memory stones contain the core essence of the entire Duan Donghe lineage, the true essence of three ultimate techniques!

They are respectively called "Broken", "East", and "River".

"Severance", whose full name is "Severance and Annihilation", is an extremely special martial art that can cause all the energy of the divine body or physical body to explode rapidly in a short period of time!

This also allows one's strength to increase by hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times in a short period of time... To put it simply, this ultimate technique is somewhat similar to self-destruction, which is to unleash the power of one's entire body in an instant.

However, self-destruction has two drawbacks: firstly, the energy is dispersed in all directions, and secondly, the self-destructs and dies.

However, "Severance" is a core inheritance created by the three generations of patriarchs, but it is completely different and allows the strong to control the burning speed.

For example, burning the entire divine body within three seconds.

This burst of power is far stronger than normal, and it may only last for a second before ending, or it may immediately stop the burning.

Moreover, it allows for more precise control of power during combat, enabling more accurate attacks on opponents.

Therefore, this is an incredibly powerful technique that can completely eliminate enemies of higher levels.

"Dong," whose full name is "Donghua," is a set of escape techniques. Once used, it can transform into a beam of light... incredibly fast, even easily penetrating layers of space. It is the most heaven-defying escape technique of the Duan Donghe lineage.

The River, whose full name is the River of Immortality, is a martial art whose purpose is to achieve immortality!

Like flesh and blood beings, the transformation into immortal beings, cosmic venerables, and divine bodies of the cosmic masters has begun to energize.

But once you break through and become the strongest in the universe... it's a return to your origins!

Upon reaching the level of the strongest being in the universe, one must merge numerous avatars into one, and the divine body will revert from energy to flesh and blood.

True flesh and blood life, although it can still burn some of its flesh and blood to turn into energy, is still essentially flesh and blood.

Against the Lord of the Universe or even the strongest being in the universe, a typical soul attack can kill the opponent beyond death. However, with the "River of Immortality," once cultivated to a certain level, a portion of the body can be completely separated.

For example, hiding a single drop of blood, even if the main body and all its clones are annihilated...

However, this drop of blood, after being specially refined, remained unharmed and could even quickly absorb energy and, after some time, transform back into its original form!

This is immortality!
