Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 127: Claiming the Treasures

Yu Yan was stunned seeing him. Not to mention there was no barrier around her house, she immediately understood what had happened—this guy had broken the barrier.

She trembled inside. It was totally unheard of for someone to break the barrier. More importantly, why did he break it?

"Sorry to bother you, but in which house is your senior brother staying?"

"Ah... it’s the right side of your house."

She finally understood why he had broken the barrier. This made her dumbfounded.

Jiang Hao moved towards Jing Tian’s house. The barrier he had broken was replenished again. He didn’t face any punishments, so his guess was right.

Yu Yan followed him. She was really curious to see him break the barrier again. It was said that these barriers were very strong—it was impossible for even a Core Formation attack to break them.

Jiang Hao reached the house and put his hand on it. This time, he didn’t need to test his strength, so he used Primal Essence. Just as he activated the skill, a hole appeared and his hand passed through, this was enough to crumble whole barrier , it shattered like a glass. There was no loud sound, only the faint sound of the barrier shattering.

Yu Yan’s eyes widened. This was definitely not the way he had broken the previous barrier. And what the heavens was that? It was like just touching the barrier dismantled it like it was nothing.

Is the main consciousness really playing a joke on them? Is this guy truly in the Core Formation Realm?

Although the sound was only minimal, it was still enough to alarm Jing Tian who was cultivating. He opened his eyes immediately—it was totally unusual to hear any sound inside this house.

Jiang Hao waited, and as expected, Jing Tian came out in a hurry with Baofeng.

He was similarly stunned when he saw that there was no barrier around his house, while Jiang Hao and Yu Yan were standing in front of the entrance.

"Se-senior...?"

Jing Tian stuttered, he still wasn’t sure what he should use to address Jiang Hao.

"Tell me how to obtain an inheritance."

Yu Yan and Jing Tian became stunned. So this was the reason he even broke the barriers of their houses.

They didn’t know if they should curse him or not. Well, it was just a thought. They wouldn’t even dare to curse him even if he told them to.

"Well, there isn’t much of a requirement. First, if you have a different spiritual root than the owner, then you will only gain half the inheritance—given that you pass the test.

But if you have the same elemental spiritual root as the owner and pass the test, then you will easily get the whole inheritance.

The first test is simple. You go in front of the pillar and use your strongest attack to hit it. After that, if the will of the owner is satisfied, then you will be pulled inside the pillar. It has its own space where further tests will be conducted by the owner’s will."

Jiang Hao nodded. It seemed simple. He just hoped the pillars weren’t made the same way as the barrier, or there would be no inheritance left to claim.

Now the question was whether he should use raw physical strength or his skills to attack the pillar. He moved towards the pillar. No one had yet arrived—only Yu Yan and Jing Tian were following him.

Three pillars were standing close to each other, forming a triangle. He chose the pillar which had ’zero’ written on it and decided to use only his raw strength.

The will inside the pillar could definitely see his attacks so using simple punch was enough. Although the person who had left the inheritance was dead, if he used his skills to attack, then it might make the will curious, which might extend his testing process—or maybe the will would decide to ask everything related to his physique out of curiosity.

This would extend the process. Not to mention he wouldn’t tell anything about himself, which might end up with him not getting the inheritance. Well, technically, he really didn’t want it. He just wanted treasures and spirit items inside.

After coming in front of the pillar, he immediately punched with the strength of the peak stage of the Core Formation Realm. When the punch struck, the pillar didn’t even vibrate. He nodded—it seemed it wouldn’t break even with his full strength. He could feel it.

As he was waiting for the response, he felt a pull. It was similar to how he had felt when entering the spatial node of this inheritance site.

He understood and let himself go along with the pull, and after a second of darkness, he arrived on a mountain.

Jing Tian and Yu Yan finally sighed—he was gone for the time being.

"Dammit, how much of a brute he is! He broke the barrier of my house because he was looking for you! Do you know how scary it was? And unlike yours, which he broke calmly, he definitely punched through my barrier!"

Yu Yan complained immediately after Jiang Hao was gone.

"Cough... You should calm yourself, junior sister. What if the will throws him back and he listens to you complaining?"

"Calm my foot!"

"Fine, fine... should we try taking the other inheritance? This place is empty so it’s a perfect time."

"You can go ahead if you want. I don’t want these low ordinary inheritances. Not to mention there are no treasures."

"As expected of you, junior sister. Being the only princess of Starlight Zenith Order, how can you lack anythi—... joke, just a joke, junior sister, no need to glare at me."

...

Jiang Hao looked around the mountain. He could also see the boundaries of this dimension—it was like black walls that extended into infinity.

Just as he was looking around, he heard a voice. He looked back and saw an old-looking man standing behind him. He bowed just a little.

"Nice to meet you, senior."

"Aren’t you too strong, young man? I have never heard of anyone as strong as you having existed in this world."

Jiang Hao was surprised when he heard that. He had executed the punch like he was giving his all, and peak stage Core Formation strength shouldn’t demand this reaction.

"You look surprised. I know you are trying to hide your real strength. You see, the main consciousness is connected with us too. It tells us everything which is noteworthy.

The test isn’t only about what I will give you. The moment you entered inside the inheritance site, your first test had already begun.

This isn’t known among many, so you wouldn’t have heard about it. But it isn’t much of a secret either.

Don’t worry, I understand that you are trying to hide your strength from me. I don’t know your reason, nor do I care. I am already dead, and this is just a husk of will."

Jiang Hao nodded.

"So, let’s come to the inheritance part. There is no need for me to test you. You breaking a barrier which required a late stage Grade 4 strength is already enough for you to claim any inheritance inside this inheritance world.

No matter which inheritance you choose, they will definitely be informed about you by the main consciousness. Don’t shy away. Take everything you want. The world has entered a state of peace now. Although it is good, it has degraded the quality of cultivators too.

In ancient times, every region had many geniuses. But now, we see only few who catch our eye. But for me, I haven’t seen any who can satisfy me."

Jiang Hao was curious about what was the test that had failed so many cultivators. But it looked like he wouldn’t learn about it. Still, he should just ask—this senior didn’t seem unapproachable.

"Senior, what was the test for your inheritance?"

The old man looked at Jiang Hao and smiled.

"Not much. It was to battle me. Although I am just a husk of a will, it is still enough to produce the strength of a peak stage Core Formation Realm cultivator.

No one has won against me. But I am sure I can’t beat you—it’s but a given outcome, so there is no need to embarrass me."

Jiang Hao accepted. If this senior was really in the Heavenly Emperor Realm, then given his experience, there was no way any cultivator in the Core Formation Realm could have beaten him.

"I doubt you are really interested in my inheritance. Given your strength, you are definitely a physique holder. So, you definitely came for the treasures, right?"

Jiang Hao nodded. He didn’t feel any shame in accepting the truth.

"Here."

The old man threw a storage bag.

"This much was what I had left in the end. Don’t worry, there’s a lot."

Jiang Hao caught the storage bag but didn’t look inside out of respect for this senior.

"Senior, what was your name?"

Jiang Hao asked. No matter what, since he accepted his inheritance—even if it was only his treasures—he would remember him forever.

"Jia Chen. I wasn’t famous, nor overly strong, so I might have already been forgotten in the river of time."

Jiang Hao didn’t comment anything back. It might be the truth. Only some cultivators who were truly heroic in ancient times might be remembered till now.

The books he had read in the library of Mountain Sword had only a few cultivators’ names in them. freewёbnoνel.com

"I will always remember you, senior."

"Hahaha... well then, young man, go. Reach the heights never seen before."
