Chapter 753: Fate and Opportunity
Chapter 753: Fate and Opportunity
Fan Hua opened his eyes to a peculiar sight, a mix of steel, glass, and other materials he couldn't name.
Upon closer inspection, he found himself confined in some sort of container. He tried to break free but found it impossible to shatter the vessel that held him.
"Where am I?" he wondered, feeling a bit lost, but soon his memories returned.
Not long ago, he had accompanied a friend to explore a ruin, where he obtained a stone resembling an eyeball. Soon after, his friend betrayed him, pushing him off a cliff.
The reason was simple: his friend coveted his spirit beast.
His friend had switched to the Spirit Refinement Technique, which allowed him to refine his spirit beast into his body. Naturally, he then set his sights on the spirit beast that Fan Hua had painstakingly raised.
Indeed, the Spirit Refinement Technique could be used not only on oneself and uncontracted spirit beasts but also to forcibly refine spirit beasts already contracted by others.
So, his friend's invitation to explore the ruin was a trap, but unexpectedly, there was a real ruin, and he had even made a discovery.
Looking at the white eye pattern on his right palm, he knew it was the transformation of the stone and had brought him to this mysterious place.
"Cough, to think I regarded him as a friend," Fan Hua said indignantly. He could feel the backlash from his spirit beast's death, even though it was just a Crimson Flame Cat, he had treated it like a family member. Now, it had fallen victim to his friend's treachery.
"I wonder how long I've been unconscious and what's going on here."
Fan Hua rubbed his nose, a bitter smile on his face.
Suddenly, a glint of insight flashed in his eyes as he noticed some small characters on the glass that confined him.
"Chaos Divine Demon Spirit Refinement Technique"
He read the words aloud, and a sense of awe washed over him.
"This is..."
After reading through the entire "Chaos Divine Demon Spirit Refinement Technique," he was utterly astonished. He knew about spirit refinement techniques, but this one was different. Not only could it refine spirit beasts, but it also allowed him to retain the ability to control them, making it incredibly powerful.
More importantly, once mastered, it granted a divine ability that could enhance a spirit beast's skill level and even forcibly increase its potential.
"I need to memorize this 'Chaos Divine Demon Spirit Refinement Technique' as soon as possible," Fan Hua's expression turned serious. Fortunately, the entire text was not long, and he quickly memorized it.
Once he had it all down, he let out a sigh of relief, but he didn't start practicing immediately. Although the technique allowed him to retain control over spirit beasts, he still needed to have a spirit beast to practice it.
He had no spirit beast, so he couldn't begin the transformation.
"How can I get out of here?" Fan Hua surveyed his surroundings and noticed some materials on a nearby table. His eyes lit up, "These are all resources, and they are even Dao of the Universe resources."
He could recognize these resources from a distance, and although he came from humble beginnings, he had seen them in the academy's reference books.
These resources made his eyes burn with desire. The Dao of the Universe was an extremely powerful spirit beast attribute. If he could obtain these resources and cultivate a spirit beast with the Dao of the Universe, then refine it into his body, he would surely become renowned.
"I need to figure out how to get these resources. I have to get out of here; otherwise, I'll be trapped and die."
At this moment, Fan Hua had a vague suspicion. He suspected that he had been transported to the secret realm of an ancient powerful being. After all, the spirit refinement technique originated from ancient times, and the presence of the "Chaos Divine Demon Spirit Refinement Technique" confirmed his suspicions.
The eye-shaped stone was the key to the inheritance. Now, he had apparently gained the qualification, and to further obtain the inheritance, he would have to rely on himself.
"Absolutely an ancient powerful being!" He couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, then suddenly sneered, "Ha, once I obtain the powerful being's inheritance, I'll make sure you don't get away with it."
Thinking of his so-called friend, who had betrayed him, made him grind his teeth in anger.
After struggling for a while, he still couldn't break free from the container, which left him feeling increasingly desperate.
As time ticked by, his despair grew, making him increasingly agitated. He began to pound on the transparent barrier frantically, completely ignoring the rare cultivation technique inscribed on it.
Even so, he found no way to escape and could only sit down helplessly. Fortunately, the transparent container was large enough, so he didn't have to worry about his immediate safety.
"Hateful, does the heavens wish to end me?"
Gaining the inheritance of an ancient entity and escaping a dangerous situation should have been a double blessing, but instead, it had led to this dilemma. With access to the Dao of the Universe resources and the cultivation of the "Chaos Divine Demon Spirit Refinement Technique," combining the spirit refinement and control paths, he would undoubtedly ascend to the pinnacle of power as the supreme Grand Supreme.
Then, there would be no place in the world he couldn't go.
Unfortunately, he couldn't even leave this small container, let alone achieve anything else.
In his rage, the backlash from his spirit beast's death, which he had been suppressing, surged up uncontrollably.
He immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood.
There was no automatic opening of the container after he coughed up blood; nothing changed except for the large patch of blood stains on the transparent container.
"Trouble, if I don't get proper treatment soon, I might die," Fan Hua was growing increasingly anxious.
Being trapped in the transparent container was not a major issue; he could maintain himself by absorbing spiritual energy and slowly think of a way out. Although he felt desperate, there was still a chance, and he wasn't at the point of giving up.
After all, he had only been in here for a short time, but the combination of the backlash from his spirit beast's death and his own injuries was becoming life-threatening.
He could suppress the backlash earlier, but it wasn't a viable long-term solution. While suppressing it temporarily made him feel better, prolonged suppression would worsen his injuries, leaving him in a helpless situation.
Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be a significant problem, but the current situation was far from normal.
"Damn!"
Fan Hua's face showed a hint of anger. Success was within reach, yet it was turning into a mere illusion.
"Trouble, the backlash is coming."
He felt the wounds in his soul expanding, completely beyond his control.
A surge of excruciating pain erupted in his mind, and his consciousness became hazy amidst the backlash. He tilted his head to the side and passed out.
The contract between the spirit beast and the cultivator is formed through the soul, so the backlash from the spirit beast's death naturally targets the soul.
After an unknown amount of time, Fan Hua slowly regained consciousness and found himself back outside the secret realm.
"I'm back? No, my injuries have healed." He quickly looked at his hand, and the white eye-shaped mark had disappeared, leaving him feeling a sense of loss.
He knew that he had lost the qualification for the inheritance and would never be able to obtain the legacy of the ancient great power.
If he hadn't suffered the backlash from the death of the spiritual beast, he would have undoubtedly solved the puzzle and successfully obtained the inheritance. At that point, becoming a Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian would have been a simple matter.
"This matter is not over yet!"
The culprit who betrayed his friend.
"I can't go back now. After I master the Chaotic God Demon Refining Spirit Manual, I'll make sure to tear you apart, limb by limb."
After standing up, he thought of the resources in the ancient ruins that were supposed to be his, and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of pain, not knowing which bastard would benefit from it now.
"Wait a minute, if I can obtain another entry token, I'll have another chance to enter."
"That's right. Since it's a legacy, there must be more than one token. There will definitely be multiple tokens!"
Thinking of this, Fan Hua's eyes lit up. He could keep an eye out for the opportunity in the future. If he managed to get his hands on it again, he would definitely succeed in obtaining the inheritance.
With his ability to master top-tier cultivation techniques like the "Chaotic Divine Demon Refinement Art," learning a mere inherited technique would be a piece of cake for him.
As for this failure, it was definitely because his condition was compromised after being backlashed by the spiritual beast.
After leaving the secret realm, he glanced at the sky and then in the direction of his city. In the end, he decided not to return. If he went back, that friend would surely not let him off, after all, this was an irreconcilable grudge, now completely turned into enmity.
So he could only grudgingly walk in another direction, temporarily biding his time and waiting to take revenge when he was strong enough. After all, without a spirit beast or the ability to refine spirits, he only had his cultivation realm but no actual power.
