Chapter 564: Chapter 563: Inheritance

Yi Tianyun had never imagined that Jiu Lingyun was a descendant of the Creation Celestial Divine King. He had assumed the Divine King’s heir would be in the Netherworld, not the Mortal Realm!

And the most crucial part was that it was someone so close to him. She had been by his side for so long, and all this time, she was the descendant of a Divine King. Even if her Bloodline was terrifyingly thin, its effects were still astonishing.

Once her potential was thoroughly unearthed, Jiu Lingyun’s talent was pushed to its limits. At such a young age, she had already reached the peak of the Fifth-Grade Divine Rune Master level, far surpassing her peers. This was where her talent truly showed. She was the descendant of a Divine King, and though he didn’t know how many generations removed she was, the Bloodline had clearly been passed down.

It was highly likely that as her cultivation improved, her Bloodline would gradually undergo an Awakening, a phenomenon of atavism. When that happened, she could become the second Creation Celestial Divine King. It was simply unbelievable!

’A seemingly ordinary girl could become the second Creation Celestial Divine King in the future. The thought alone is terrifying.’ He recalled the previous mission to nurture a Saintess. ’It really was related to this. If she didn’t have the innate talent, a mission like that would never have appeared.’

’Thinking about it, I’ve had someone with the potential to become a Divine King by my side all along. Anyone would find it unbelievable.’ If he hadn’t been the one to guide Jiu Lingyun onto her path, even the most powerful Bloodline talent would have been useless.

Alternatively, if Yi Tianyun were just an ordinary Cultivator without outstanding Martial Arts and vast resources, he wouldn’t be able to forge a Divine King either.

To become a true powerhouse, one couldn’t rely on Bloodline alone. It required an immense amount of resources for proper cultivation. This was true even for Divine Beasts. Without a good environment and vast resources, it was impossible to raise a powerhouse.

"Descendant of the Creation Celestial Divine King?" Jiu Lingyun asked, her face full of confusion. She had no idea what Yi Tianyun was talking about.

Seeing her confused expression, Yi Tianyun smiled knowingly. "You’ll understand later. For now, come with me!"

With that, he turned and headed for the Cultivation Hall. Though Jiu Lingyun was still confused, she obeyed his command and followed. Soon, they entered a private cultivation chamber. Yi Tianyun slapped the door, and it sealed shut tightly.

With only the two of them in the entire room, Jiu Lingyun couldn’t help but blush. A man and a woman alone in a room... something could very well happen. Although she trusted Yi’s character, a part of her was still hoping for something.

Unfortunately, she was overthinking things. Yi Tianyun had no intention of doing anything of the sort to her.

Yi Tianyun drew near, reached out toward her head, and said softly, "Relax. I’m going to give you some memories."

A surge of memorial energy immediately flowed forth. It was the complete legacy of the Creation Celestial Divine King, transmitted to her in its entirety, without holding anything back. Although the Creation Celestial Divine King’s legacy was excellent, to Yi Tianyun, it was merely "excellent"!

’No matter how powerful it is, can it really compare to my own system? A single Madness Mode is enough to crush any Martial Arts.’

As the memories flowed into her, Jiu Lingyun was instantly shaken by their sheer vastness. This was especially true for the insights and memories regarding the Creator, a Creator-level Divine Rune Master—a legendary existence.

Yet Yi Tianyun was transmitting it all to her without reservation. She was utterly shocked, but her already firm disposition allowed her to calm down quickly and focus on absorbing the memories.

As a Divine Rune Master who focused on soul cultivation, her ability to memorize things was naturally flawless. She could easily retain it all.

Soon, he had transferred all the memories, including the Qiankun Divine Technique. Although the technique was excellent, he had made an oath. What needed to be passed on, had to be passed on. If he could have passed it on freely, he definitely would have given it to everyone close to him.

It had to be said that this was the best Martial Arts he had obtained so far. A technique that could be cultivated all the way to the Divine King Stage—how could he not want to share it with his friends?

After transmitting everything to her, Yi Tianyun slowly released his hand. Jiu Lingyun stood there, motionless, carefully comprehending the memories she had received.

He did nothing else, simply sitting to the side and waiting. By the time Jiu Lingyun finally emerged from the sea of memories, an unknown amount of time had passed.

"Yi, how long have I been here?" Jiu Lingyun felt embarrassed. She saw Yi Tianyun sitting nearby and realized he had been standing as her Guardian the entire time.

"Not long. Just a little while," Yi Tianyun said with a smile as he stood up. He wasn’t lying. To Jiu Lingyun, it might have felt like a long time, but in reality, only a short while had passed.

Wandering through an ocean of memories would naturally feel like a long time, but in reality, it was just a moment.

"As long as it wasn’t too long..." She was worried about taking up too much of Yi’s time. Then, she said excitedly, "Yi, the memories you gave me are too precious! These are the insights of a Creator! And so many of them... It’s all just too precious! And those Martial Arts..."

She didn’t even know where to begin. There was so much, and all of it was priceless.

Of course it was. This was the memory of a Divine King. Even experts at the Saint King Stage would fight to the death over its contents, let alone someone like Jiu Lingyun, whose cultivation was still relatively low.

Although Yi Tianyun had given her a great deal of information on Divine Runes before, it was nothing compared to the legacy of the Creation Celestial Divine King. After all, he was a Creator!

"It’s fine. It’s all yours now." After a moment’s thought, Yi Tianyun explained, "I obtained all of this from the Netherworld. And you... you are the descendant of the Creation Celestial Divine King."

Yi Tianyun explained the gist of it, revealing Jiu Lingyun’s origins. He didn’t know the exact circumstances of how she ended up in the Mortal Realm, but he surmised her parents probably felt they couldn’t survive in the Netherworld and brought her here. Regardless of the reason, the legacy had been preserved.

He had thought it would be difficult to find the descendant, perhaps even impossible, yet he had found her just like that.

"DING! Mission ’Find the Descendant of the Creation Celestial Divine King’ completed. Reward: 200,000,000 Experience Points, 500,000 Madness Value. Favorability with the Descendant of the Creation Celestial Divine King has increased by 100!"

The notification for the completed mission popped up. It had been ridiculously easy. He had expected it to be much more difficult. ’I guess this is fate,’ he thought. ’Anyone else would have probably had to search for a very long time.’

"I... I’m the descendant of a Divine King?" Jiu Lingyun was stunned. She had never imagined her own origins could be so astonishing.

She had always thought of herself as ordinary. This sudden news had left her completely dumbfounded.

"Yes. So, cultivate well. Don’t let the name of the Creation Celestial Divine King be forgotten," Yi Tianyun said with a smile, patting her on the shoulder. "It seems I’m the lucky one. Having a descendant of the Creation Celestial Divine King by my side... I’m really the one who’s profited from this."

It was indeed a stroke of luck for him, but for Jiu Lingyun, was it not an even greater stroke of luck?
