Chapter 25: Legacy Of The One’s Path

‘There is a title’, Zax’s voice quivered.

The first thing that popped up from the minimal information he could gather from the second subject was a five words title, brimming with immense excellence as if it was part of a divine existence.

‘Legacy Of The One’s Path. Zax said in trepidation.

He clearly could not calmly handle the bits of the decrypted second subject in his possession. Merely staring at the information floating in his sea of consciousness aroused a sense of obeisance, in a way it was similar to the imposing presence of Supreme Ruler Ariel and that of the expert’s colossal image, which he still unceasingly kept constructing with the pieces of spiritual knowledge.

Currently, Zax has already fully connected sixty percent of the great puzzle of the expert’s image. Regrettably, it was still not enough for him to make up what he sees.

Zax steeled and reprimanded himself. ‘Enough!’ He cried loudly. He was not willing to let couple of remnants disturb him. ‘If I was not qualified for the part of the second subject, the expert wouldn’t have made it so I could read it, like the rest of the information!’

‘Legacy Of The One’s Path’’. He repeated. ‘Mist refinement technique ... that is what it is... !’ Despite him forced calmness, Zax still gawked. ‘The mightiest legacy is a mist refinement technique?!’

To be honest, Zax never encountered a legacy. There were none in New Earth that he had heard about from any source, in any form of context and that was due to the secular circumstance of New Earth and its fairly short existence.

‘A message from the expert!’ Zax discovered and received it.

‘Potential heir, you have unrevealed the name of my greatest fortune, the mist refinement technique, Legacy Of The One’s Path. Because my demise is near, I decided to assist whoever may inherit the Legacy Of The One’s Path after me. Although, I do hope that you are of mine, potential heir’. The expert opened.

‘Potential heir, listen carefully, my words will not iterate, that I am capable of doing whether dead or a live’.

In other words, Zax understood, the message will vanish from his sea of consciousness on its own, after he will fully realize it.

‘First, I will hand you a confession, Legacy Of The One’s Path is not of my creation and in fact, it is much, much old than any being in the Immortal path. For this reason and more, any Martial cultivator who knows about the particularity of this mist refinement technique is doom to lust for it’.

‘The second point I will give you is a superficial knowledge of one of the things making Legacy Of The One’s Path so mysterious. Legacy Of The One’s Path, as its name may suggest, cannot be cultivated, in its true sense, by more than one cultivator. The only way for someone to cultivate it, is if he or she will inherit it from the Core of its previous heir. In this case, it is maybe you and regrettably I’.

Zax could hear the reluctance and depression in the expert’s message.

‘You should be wary, at the case of you turning out to be the next heir. If others will find out while you are weak ... you can blame only yourself. As for me, I too was chased for a long time, having to hide my identity on multiply occasions. Only when I acquired strength did the burden of those hunting me loose. A prerequisite to survive as a cultivator of Legacy Of The One’s Path until you possess sufficient strength is to avoid revealing the innate signature of the mist refinement technique to those who are familiar with it’. The expert warned solemnly.

‘The third and last point you would be given is a test. Even if you are of mine, inheriting Legacy Of The One’s Path should not be done easily, thus, at the instant of my death I have divided my Core into four parts, four Black Cores of Darkness for four potential heirs. Unless you will collect and absorb to your dantian all four Black Core, Legacy Of The One’s Path cannot be cultivated. Potential heir, if you are aware of this message, your soul must have just broken through the second realm and you had yet to let it experienced the world. When you will leave your sea of consciousness, you will begin to sense the direction in which the other Black Cores are located. Go, snatch them from those who might hold them, collect all and absorb, become the sole heir of the mightiest legacy, the unparalleled mist refinement technique, Legacy Of The One’s Path!’

The message was over, its content engraved on Zax soul, but the otherwise it completely disappeared from the foreign energy of information flood the Black Core has sent him.

‘A mist refinement technique... ‘ Zax sat sluggishly on the Inner Panorama. ‘Can it be? Does this imply that I can really cultivate mist energy!’ A surge of excitement took over.

Till today, Zax only had half assurance that he might be able to unclogged his Qi channels and cultivate mist energy if he body will break through the second realm and his Qi channels become strong enough to withstand the liquefied Qi clogging them.

A liquefied Qi or mist energy is the sign that a mist cultivator reached the second realm. Then again, the fitness level of a newbie Core Master is only at level C, the equivalent level to a Core Breaker, much below that of Zax’s fitness level!
