Chapter 2723 Inherited Memory

The pendant of the necklace hanging from her beautiful neck was on display. The round contraption that concealed the pendant, a Divine Crystal, had been opened at some point in time. It continued to release a steady flow of seemingly liquified Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy, filling up the entire room. The room, at this moment, seemed to have turned into a cultivation saint land.

Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er were sitting back-to-back. As he sensed and absorbed the seemingly liquified Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the room, he thought to himself, ‘With such a cultivation environment, it’d be humiliating if I can’t break through and become an Indigo Sun Golden Celestial in a short time.’ After that, he quickly dismissed his thoughts and focused on cultivating.

The cultivation environment was so good that there was no need for Duan Ling Tian to use Celestial Stones. The only thing that could hasten his cultivation speed was Celestial Pills. He was so immersed in cultivation and trying to break through the final bottleneck in his cultivation base as a Blue Sun Golden Celestial that he had completely forgotten about the pa.s.sage of time.

It felt like a brief moment and a century had pa.s.sed at the same time when Duan Ling Tian suddenly opened his eyes. “I’ve broken through!” He had successfully become an Indigo Sun Golden Celestial!

Swoos.h.!.+

Celestial Origin Energy rippled out of Duan Ling Tian’s body, intermingling with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings.

Hearing Duan Ling Tian’s excited voice, Huan’er asked in surprise, “Brother Ling Tian, you’ve broken through in such a short time?”

“Huan’er, how long did I cultivate?” Duan Ling Tian asked although he was not sure if she knew the answer.

“Brother Ling Tian, you only cultivated for three days,” Huan’er replied.

“Three days?” Duan Ling Tian was startled. Although he did not think it would take long for him to break through with such a good cultivation environment, he did not expect it would only take him three days to break through.

“This is too fast, isn’t it?” When he regained his senses, he silently thanked the Divine Crystal.

All of a sudden, Huan’er asked, “Brother Ling Tian, why is the grade of your cultivation method so low?”

Duan Ling Tian was taken aback. “Huan’er, you can discern my cultivation method?”

“Yes,” Huan’er nodded as she replied, “I can also tell you have 99 Heavenly Veins just like me. However, due to your physique being inferior to mine, you’re slightly less talented than me. With your talent, your cultivation speed should be much faster if you have a high-grade cultivation method.”

Indeed, Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation method was of a very low grade. In fact, it was the lowest grade; the yellow grade.

“Brother Ling Tian, should I teach you my cultivation method?” Huan’er suggested.

Upon hearing Huan’er’s words, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened. For someone who possessed a rare treasure like the Divine Crystal, how could her cultivation method be inferior? He felt his breathing quickened. However, after a moment, he seemed to recall something. He sobered up immediately, as though a cold bucket of water had been poured on him. “Huan’er, did your mother warn you against teaching others your cultivation method? If she did, then, let’s just forget about it. I can always look for a higher grade cultivation method later.” It was probable that it was taboo for her to pa.s.s on her cultivation method.

“Brother Ling Tian, my cultivation method is innate and has existed in my memories since I was born. My mom said it is an inherited memory. In our Phantom Fox Clan, this would only occur to Thousand Phantom Ice Foxes that are born once every 1,000,000 years. My mom didn’t warn me against teaching it to others. In fact, I tried teaching it to my mom, but she was unable to use it for some unknown reasons.”

Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “In that case, it’s likely I won’t be able to cultivate it as well. After all, it’s innate, and it’s probably suited only to you.”

“My mom is a pure Celestial Beast so she can’t use the cultivation method. However, Brother Ling Tian, you’re a human. There’s a possibility that you might be able to cultivate it,” Huan’er said.

Instantly, rays of hope shone in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. Her words made sense after all. Her mother was a Celestial Beast so that might be why she could not cultivate the cultivation method. Who knew if a human could cultivate it?

‘Although I know nothing about Huan’er’s true form, the Thousand Phantom Ice Fox, since they’re so rare, they must be very special. It stands to reason the inherited cultivation method is special as well…’ Duan Ling Tian was quite certain Huan’er’s cultivation method was extraordinary. Otherwise, how could she become an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial in just 10 years? Who knew if her cultivation method was superior to heaven-grade cultivation methods? There was certainly a possibility of that.

Huan’er was a 13-year-old Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. Such an existence should be rare even in the Devata Realms, let alone just the Spirit Overarching Heaven. How could he stay calm now that she said she was going to teach him her cultivation method?

Alas, Duan Ling Tian discovered that he could not use Huan’er’s cultivation method. He was greatly disappointed.

Upon seeing this, Huan’er felt anxious and guilty. She quickly suggested, “Brother Ling Tian, why don’t I s.n.a.t.c.h a higher grade cultivation method for you?”

“Huan’er, just concentrate on your cultivation. Don’t worry about my cultivation method. I can solve this on my own,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile as he patted her head. Seeing that she was still quite anxious, he added, “Don’t worry. Focus on improving your strength. That way, you’ll be able to help me if I encounter a powerful enemy, right? Take this for example, we have to stay in the inn now because we’re weaker than the Zhou clan. However, if we’re stronger, there won’t be any need for us to be afraid. No one would dare to provoke us.”

A hint of determination flashed in Huan’er’s eyes when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. She quickly closed her eyes and began to cultivate again.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian left the room. When he opened the door, some of the seemingly liquified Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy leaked out. However, it quickly dispersed.

At this moment, Cheng’er, the servant girl, was gardening, taking care of the vegetation in the courtyard. When she saw Duan Ling Tian, she hastily rose to her feet and bowed at him. “Sir.” She looked at him with extremely bright eyes as though she was telling him she would obey him as long as he gave the word!

“You can continue with your task,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile. Then, he hung the red cloth that Xiao Liu, the pageboy, had given him.

“Cheng’er, please inform me when Xiao Liu comes,” Duan Ling Tian said before he entered another room

“Yes, sir,” Cheng’er replied respectfully.

…

Inside the room, Duan Ling Tian sat on the bed and called out a small grey flame. It was the Chaos Divine Flame that he had mistaken as a primitive Celestial Fire.

‘It seems like I can draw out and control a bigger flame from the defective metal piece whenever my cultivation base improves. At this rate, when I become a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, I can completely draw the grey flame out and gain full control of it.’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky when he thought about this.
