Chapter 451: Becoming a God on the Spot

At these words, all three of them trembled.

‘They were going to receive the Meteor Ancestor’s inheritance and walk the world in his stead?’

‘This happiness had come too suddenly.’

“We are willing!”

The three replied excitedly.

But then a question arose.

Normally, a Great Power Powerhouse would only choose a single Inheritor to avoid exposing the flaws and secrets of their Cultivation Technique.

But there were three of them.

In terms of strength and talent, the three of them were evenly matched. No one was stronger or weaker than the others.

How would the Inheritor be chosen?

Jiang Ruoxue asked nervously, “Ancestor, may I ask which of us you plan to choose as your Inheritor?”

Li Ming and Han Yimo grew tense as well, afraid they would be cut from the selection.

After all, this was a Divine Level inheritance.

Even though the three of them were as close as siblings, they had to be clear-eyed about this.

However, the Meteor Ancestor said, “I plan to make all three of you my Inheritors!”

“All three of us?”

Jiang Ruoxue’s face was filled with surprise.

The Innate Spirit couldn’t help but quip, “Old man, are you saying their talents are too weak? Casting a wide net to catch more fish?”

“Sigh, I have no other choice!”

the Meteor Ancestor sighed.

If this were an ordinary inheritance, the talents of these three would be considered monstrous. No matter which one was chosen as the Inheritor, they would surely succeed in the future.

Even for a Saint Level inheritance, the three of them would be more than adequate.

But this was a Divine Level inheritance.

If he chose only one of them as the Inheritor, and that person failed at God-Breaking, then his legacy would vanish.

Therefore, he decided to make all three of them his Inheritors.

‘Casting a wide net to catch more fish?’

The three of them couldn’t help but smile wryly.

They all knew the Ancestor found them lacking.

Still, this was the best possible outcome.

The Meteor Ancestor said to Jiang Ruoxue, “Little one, I can see you are the most intelligent. From now on, you will continue to lead the three of them.”

With that, he tapped a finger between Jiang Ruoxue’s brows.

In an instant, a halo of light sank into Jiang Ruoxue’s mind.

Jiang Ruoxue immediately began to tremble all over.

Li Ming exclaimed in alarm, “Senior Sister Jiang, you…”

“I’m fine!”

Jiang Ruoxue explained, her body still shaking, “The Ancestor’s inheritance is too vast. I can’t handle it all at once, that’s why I’m trembling.”

Following that, Li Ming and Han Yimo also received the Meteor Ancestor’s inheritance.

However, it was somewhat less than what Jiang Ruoxue had received.

After all, Jiang Ruoxue was to be their leader from now on.

“Thank you, Ancestor!”

the three said, panting.

The Meteor Ancestor waved his hand. “No need to be so formal with me. I have done all that I can. As for how far you can go, that will depend on your own destiny.”

“Yes, Ancestor!”

the three replied resolutely.

The Meteor Ancestor turned to Su Mo. “Little fellow, speak. What is your purpose for coming here?”

“The Enlightenment Stones!”

Su Mo said decisively.

The Meteor Ancestor was not the least bit surprised. “So you really did come for the Enlightenment Stones. Little fellow, are you perhaps trying to break through to the Divine Level?”

Enlightenment Stones were only useful when breaking through to the Divine Level and comprehending the Great Dao of heaven and earth.

However, Su Mo shook his head. “The Divine Level is too distant for me right now. I just want to break through to Martial Monarch.”

“Martial Monarch?”

The Meteor Ancestor was stunned.

‘You need Enlightenment Stones to break through to Martial Monarch? How have I never heard of such a thing?’

‘Indeed, the Cultivation Technique Su Mo practices cannot be measured by common sense.’

The Meteor Ancestor waved his hand casually. “I only have ten Enlightenment Stones left. You can take them all.”

WHOOSH!

Su Mo accepted the Enlightenment Stones with pleasant surprise and asked, “This stuff is essential for breaking through to the Divine Level. Aren’t you going to leave a few for the three of them?”

The Meteor Ancestor shook his head. “Even if I wanted to leave some for them, they wouldn’t be able to protect them. On the contrary, it would only invite disaster.”

Su Mo nodded.

Innocence is no protection when you possess a treasure.

If others found out the three of them possessed Enlightenment Stones, they probably wouldn’t survive for three seconds. It could even lead to the annihilation of the entire Meteor Sect.

“Then I won’t be polite!”

Without hesitation, Su Mo placed all the Enlightenment Stones into his Storage Ring.

He originally thought that was the end of it.

But who would have known that the Meteor Ancestor would suddenly ask, “Little fellow, do you want to become a god?”

“Become a god?”

Su Mo looked at the Meteor Ancestor in surprise.

Everyone else present was also shocked.

The Innate Spirit’s expression changed drastically. “Hey, old man, you’re not thinking of giving *that thing* to this brat, are you?”

“That is correct!”

the Meteor Ancestor said.

The Innate Spirit said angrily, “Old man, have you thought this through? If you put that thing out there, you could attract at least a hundred experts at the Saint Level Great Perfection Realm. That would be enough to protect the Meteor Sect and ensure its prosperity for ten thousand years.”

“But that thing could also bring a world-ending disaster upon the Meteor Sect!”

the Meteor Ancestor retorted.

The Innate Spirit gritted its teeth. “But to just give that thing to this kid… you’re letting him off too easily! Besides, he hasn’t done anything. On what grounds does he deserve such a heaven-defying benefit?”

“That is why I intend to make a deal with him!”

The Meteor Ancestor turned back to Su Mo. “Little fellow, as long as you agree to my next request, I can give you a chance to become a god. What do you say?”

“I’m listening.”

Su Mo said curiously.

The Meteor Ancestor asked in return, “Do you know what it takes to become a god?”

Su Mo thought for a moment and said, “To become a god, besides using Enlightenment Stones to comprehend the Great Dao of heaven and earth, one also needs the blessing of Divine Qi for Purification and Marrow Cleansing. Only then can one become a god.”

“That is merely one method!”

The Meteor Ancestor explained eloquently, “To become a god through that method, after a Martial Artist reaches Saint Level Great Perfection, they must absorb external Divine Qi to cleanse their marrow and bones, Forge a Divine Body, and only then can they ascend to godhood.”

“This is also the most common method of becoming a god. Unfortunately, in the Cangxuan Realm, Divine Level beings are far too rare. Therefore, those who can become gods are incredibly few and far between. One can only succeed through great opportunity.”

“Then what is the second method?”

Su Mo pressed.

The Meteor Ancestor took a deep breath. “The second method is even more difficult than the first. It requires a Martial Artist, after reaching Saint Level Great Perfection, to rely on their own comprehension to evolve Divine Qi within their body from nothing, empower themselves with it, and attain the Divine Level.”

Su Mo nodded.

The second method of becoming a god was indeed much more difficult than the first.

After all, the first method only required refining external Divine Qi to become a god, but the second required evolving it from nothing within one’s own body.

Who knew if it could even be evolved at all.

The Meteor Ancestor said, “A Divine Level being cultivated through the second method is terrifyingly powerful. But because it is too difficult, it has been abandoned by the world. Thus, most people choose the first method to become a god.”

“Although the power of a god from the first method is far weaker than one from the second, it is still enough to crush all Saint Level beings in the Cangxuan Realm, stand at the apex of the realm, and suppress an entire era.”

Su Mo nodded again.

The first method of becoming a god might be weaker, but it still resulted in a Divine Level existence—a true god in the eyes of mortals. Suppressing the Cangxuan Realm would be no problem at all.

The Meteor Ancestor smiled. “The chance I want to give you to become a god is through the first method. With your strength and talent, if you are willing, you could become a god in less than half a year.”
