Chapter 462 Inheriting Two Lineages! A God-King Level Secret Treasure Inheritance?
"The Broken East River —"
The man in golden armor gave Chen Yuan a deep look, remained silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "Since even this lineage has been wiped out, it seems that the general and the others are also in grave danger."
"The Kingdom of Wu has ultimately vanished into the long river of history."
"Little one—your name is Duan Donghe Chen Yuan? Then I'll call you Chen Yuan."
After confirming Chen Yuan's identity, the golden-armored man's attitude softened considerably, and his tone was no longer as cold as before: "Chen Yuan, you inherited the Duan Donghe lineage, so does the inherited information record the reason for their destruction?"
"I'm sorry, Senior Saint Weapon."
Chen Yuan shook his head and told the truth: "The reason for the destruction is not recorded in the inheritance. I only learned about it from the 19th chapter of the Broken East River before I inherited it."
He overheard a few words from Wu, the second-generation successor of Duan Donghe Zhenchan.
He relayed the information he had gleaned from the original work: "According to Senior Zhenchan, the Wu Kingdom seems to have suffered some kind of crisis. The Duan Donghe lineage, following the general, decided to venture into the Cosmic Sea, but for some unknown reason, the entire army was wiped out."
"In the cosmic sea of my hometown, there is a forbidden land called the Cosmic Ship," a ship suspected to be used by powerful figures from the Wu Kingdom, whose size in the cosmic sea can reach hundreds of millions of light-years.
"And the tomb ship where the Duan Donghe lineage is located is inside the cosmic ship."
"A spaceship spanning hundreds of millions of light-years—judging from your description, that is indeed the general's ship."
The golden-armored man pondered for a moment, then asked, "Did you discover any other branches of the Wu Kingdom within the spaceship?"
"No." Chen Yuan shook his head slightly: "Apart from the Duan Donghe lineage, I did not obtain any other information related to the Wu Kingdom in the spaceship."
Upon hearing this news, the golden-armored man seemed unsurprised, only saying with some regret, "It seems that the general was targeted during the dimensional traversal."
"That's true. The stronger you are, the more targeted you will be if you want to cross dimensions and reach the cosmic sea. The chances of survival are actually lower than for us eternal true gods."
"Since there's no trace of the general inside the ship, it seems the situation is indeed dire."
"Wait—a ship?"
The golden-armored man suddenly paused, then looked sharply at Chen Yuan: "No, although I have long since perished, this illusory consciousness has existed through countless reincarnations and still has some understanding of the situation in the cosmic sea."
"You just said the spaceship is a dead end, why have I never heard of that?"
Chen Yuan didn't intend to hide anything. In any case, this Tomb Ship had already entered the optimization space, so even if an accident occurred, it wouldn't cause any major problems.
So he simply said, "That's right, the spaceship is indeed not in the cosmic sea dimension where Senior Saint Weapon is located."
"That's because I come from a cosmic ocean of another dimension."
As he spoke, he told the golden-armored man about how he discovered the wormhole in the Misty Sea, and how he found the other-dimensional universe sea after entering the wormhole.
"Mist—wormhole—it really exists."
After listening, the man in golden armor nodded slightly: "Before we left, the general also told us that when we cross the dimensional barrier, our destinations may not be in the same dimension."
"But these dimensions are also connected. If we find a wormhole connecting two dimensions, we can travel to other cosmic seas and reunite with the army."
"However—" he said with a hint of doubt, "The general also said that these wormholes are protected by dimensional power and naturally possess the ability to hide themselves."
"You're just a minor universe lord, how did you manage to find the core of the wormhole in the fog?"
"It's very simple." Chen Yuan smiled. "By using your clones to connect the locations, you can find your way forward in the fog."
"Clones—" The golden-armored man suddenly realized, "Indeed, determining location through the connection between clones is a clumsy method, but it is indeed effective."
"As long as there are enough interconnected clones, the entire fog will have no secrets, and finding the wormhole to the core will not be difficult."
"Chen Yuan." The golden-armored man suddenly looked at him intently. "I have a favor to ask. Could you take me to the spaceship? I want to confirm the situation."
"Although you said that no trace of other inheritances was found inside the spaceship, the general is so powerful that if he wanted to hide, a mere universe lord like yourself wouldn't be able to find it."
"If you wish to search again, I gladly agree." Chen Yuan had no objection to this. After all, although Irene had already scanned it once, as the golden-armored man said, what if there was really hidden information?
"However," Chen Yuan paused, then looked at the golden-armored man, "before heading to the spaceship, why don't we finish the inheritance assessment first?"
"The inheritance assessment—" The golden-armored man paused for a moment, then shook his head: "It's no longer necessary."
"To become the successor of the Duan Donghe lineage, your talent must be at least considerable!"
"Furthermore, since our two lineages both belong to the Wu Kingdom branch, and considering our past collaboration, the succession assessment will be waived. I can directly recognize you as the final successor."
Chen Yuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Thank you, Senior Saint Weapon!"
Although he was absolutely confident of passing the assessment, he naturally wouldn't refuse since he could skip the tedious procedures and directly obtain the inheritance.
"But don't be too happy yet." The golden-armored man glanced at him and shook his head, saying, "The heritage of my Holy Weapon lineage is no less than that of Duan Donghe, and in fact, we were even stronger during our most glorious period."
"Therefore, the lineage of my Holy Weapons is not only extremely powerful, but also has very demanding cultivation conditions."
"While I acknowledge your talent, whether you will ultimately succeed in your cultivation remains to be seen."
"Therefore," the golden-armored man said in a deep voice, "I can give you the inheritance directly, but you must also swear a soul oath that if you fail to master the core inheritance, you must find a successor for the Holy Weapon lineage."
"Regarding the timeframe—I won't make things difficult for you; how about we set it at two reincarnation eras?"
"No problem." Chen Yuan agreed immediately without the slightest hesitation.
Just kidding, with his talent, what kind of inheritance can't he cultivate? Besides, even if there really is such an inheritance, can't he still optimize it?
The man in golden armor breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that Chen Yuan had agreed.
In reality, he had no choice.
If Chen Yuan were just an ordinary inheritor, he would have the right to eliminate the loser if they failed the assessment.
However, the other party's identity was extraordinary. He was the 193rd generation descendant of the Duan Donghe lineage. Theoretically, within the entire Wu Kingdom's official system, the other party's status was equivalent to his own!
As a virtual consciousness, he can only act according to the rules, one of the most crucial underlying logics being that he is forbidden from attacking his colleagues!
This also means that as long as Chen Yuan participates in the assessment, even if the other party fails, there is nothing he can do about it.
Furthermore, the inheritance requirements of the Holy Weapon lineage do not state that those who fail cannot participate in the assessment again. In other words, even if Chen Yuan fails the assessment once, he can try again until he succeeds!
Even if the golden-armored man thinks the Holy Weapon lineage's assessment is difficult, given the other party's talent, there is a high probability that he can pass it, provided there is no time limit.
Since that's the case, why bother with all this trouble? He could just give the inheritance to the other party directly.
Since we're all on the same side anyway, he figured he was just doing a favor.
Moreover, even if Chen Yuan cannot enter the core inheritance, according to the soul oath, he still has to find a new successor for the Holy Weapon lineage.
Given the other party's talent, there is a high probability that he can break through the cycle of reincarnation and enter the Origin Continent. In this way, Chen Yuan can find a successor from the geniuses of the Origin Continent, which is better than letting him wait endlessly in the cosmic sea for reincarnation.
This was the golden-armored man's ultimate plan; he wouldn't lose money no matter what.
And so, Chen Yuan followed the golden-armored man to the inheritance space, and after making a soul oath, he obtained the inheritance mark of the Holy Weapon lineage under the witness of the golden-armored man.
Unlike the black and white markings of Duan Donghe, the inheritance markings of the Holy Weapon lineage are a combination of gold and purple, forming a marking in the shape of a pill furnace.
Since the mark of the Broken East River had already taken over the space between Chen Yuan's eyebrows, this purplish-gold mark, after wandering around for a while, finally settled on the back of Chen Yuan's left hand.
"Congratulations, Chen Yuan." The golden-armored man smiled. "You have become the 231st generation inheritor of the Sacred Weapon lineage, Sacred Weapon Chen Yuan."
"Well----"
Chen Yuan said in a strange tone, "Senior, don't forget, I am also the inheritor of the Broken East River."
"Oh, sorry." The golden-armored man smiled sheepishly, having been too excited to remember his identity as the inheritor.
"In that case, shall you call yourself Sacred Weapon - Severing the Eastern River - Chen Yuan?"
He asked cautiously.
"Whatever." Chen Yuan shook his head helplessly; the title was getting longer and longer.
"Then it's settled." The golden-armored man spoke with a hint of a smile. He placed the Sacred Weapon in front of the Broken East River, making people think that the Sacred Weapon was the most important, and the Broken East River was secondary.
Of course, he never expected that Chen Yuan would never reveal the name related to the inheritance to outsiders.
After all, even the Wu Kingdom has been destroyed, and there might still be enemies of the Wu Kingdom on the Origin Continent. Chen Yuan would not swagger around and reveal his true strength.
Therefore, he didn't pay any attention to the golden-armored man's little schemes. At this moment, he said with anticipation, "Senior, now that I have succeeded to the lineage of the Holy Weapon, then the inheritance—"
"Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged."
The man in golden armor smiled faintly: "Follow me."
Soon, Chen Yuan followed the golden-armored man to another space, and as soon as he entered, he felt a wave of heat hit him.
Chen Yuan looked up and saw a huge volcano covering hundreds of millions of kilometers, and on the crater in the distance stood a square, purple-gold cauldron.
Chen Yuanfei, suspended in mid-air, saw countless weapons stuck upside down below, mostly knives, swords, and spears, with a few other types as well.
Most importantly, judging from his eyesight, none of the weapons below were of a grade lower than a True God-level treasure, and he even saw quite a few Void-level ones.
"This is the Sacred Relic Tomb."
Noticing Chen Yuan's gaze, the golden-armored man explained, "The weapons stuck upside down below each have their own owners. They were sent to the weapons graveyard by disciples of my Holy Weapon lineage after they died in battle."
"Every weapon here is a top-tier treasure of its kind."
"These weapons contain the will of their masters. If a new disciple can subdue them, he or she can acquire ownership of the weapon free of charge."
"When you take charge of the Holy Weapon Family in the future, you can let your people come here to choose weapons. However, I hope you can respect the will of these weapons. Only a weapon that is in harmony with its master's will can unleash its full potential."
Chen Yuan nodded slightly. He had already discovered that each of the weapons below contained an extraordinary will, and these wills had formed weapon spirits.
As the golden-armored man said, with the help of the artifact spirit, one can indeed unleash tremendous power. When a True God Peak Secret Treasure is used to its fullest potential, it can even rival the Void level.
"Of course, if you just want to equip your people with some standard equipment, then there is an even better way."
The two continued on their way and soon arrived at the crater, where the giant purple-gold cauldron stood atop them.
"This is the 'Purple Gold Creation Cauldron,' the true core treasure of my Sacred Weapon lineage."
The golden-armored man pointed to the giant cauldron and said, "This treasure is of extremely high quality, far surpassing any other treasure in the Cosmic Sea. Moreover, although it is a weapon-refining cauldron, it can also be used as a palace-type treasure."
"Is this a weapon-refining cauldron?" Chen Yuan raised his head, a faint white light appearing in his eyes, and quickly gathered information about the giant cauldron.
To his surprise, the quality of this giant cauldron actually reached the first level of the God King realm, equivalent to the Star Tower without the Ancestral Blood Scale. It truly deserves to be the core treasure of the Holy Weapon lineage.
However, what surprised Chen Yuan even more was that the Holy Weapon lineage created such a wonderful treasure just for weapon refining.
It should be noted that even the "Inheritance of Pu" that Zuo Shan Ke later gave him only had a refining cauldron of the highest grade recorded in it, which was only at the level of Eternal True God. It did not even have a Chaos-level refining cauldron.
At this moment, the golden-armored man nodded slightly: "That's right. Although the Creation Cauldron of Suicide can be used as a palace treasure, its most fundamental use is to assist in the refining of artifacts."
Chen Yuan knew that the terms "refining weapons" and "refining treasures" were essentially the same thing, just translated differently in the languages of the continent of origin.
"Could it be that the core inheritance of the Sacred Weapon lineage is related to weapon crafting?" he asked.
"That's right." The golden-armored man nodded, a hint of pride in his voice: "The core of my Holy Weapon lineage is weapon crafting, followed by body tempering."
"These two traditions constitute the core of the Sacred Weapon lineage."
At this point, the golden-armored man looked at Chen Yuan: "That's why I said that even if you are exceptionally talented and have caught the eye of Duan Donghe, you may not be suitable for the inheritance of my Holy Weapon lineage."
Is it perhaps not suitable?
A strange expression appeared on Chen Yuan's face. Putting aside body refinement for the moment, he was not suitable for weapon refining.
If Mr. Zuoshanke heard this, I wonder what kind of expression he would have on his face.
The golden-armored man noticed Chen Yuan's expression and, feeling a bit strange, asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Chen Yuan shook his head, thought for a moment, and said honestly, "It's just that when it comes to weapon crafting, I actually have some experience, and I believe this inheritance should be very suitable for me."
"Is that so?" The golden-armored man didn't seem to care, thinking to himself, what kind of weapon-refining heritage could a creature from the cosmic sea have ever witnessed?
Even though Duan Donghe also collected weapon-refining inheritances, they are completely different from their core inheritances! At most, he only collected some secret treasure blueprints of the Holy Weapon lineage, such as the refining method of the Chaos Golden Wings.
They have never revealed the true core techniques of weapon crafting.
He shook his head, not delving into the topic. In any case, once the inheritor actually gets his hands dirty, he'll understand the difficulty of the inheritance.
He continued, "The main function of this Purple Gold Creation Cauldron is to assist the user in refining weapons, and it also has a certain amplifying effect on the final quality of the finished product."
"For example, if you refine a True God-level treasure, then under the amplification of the Creation Cauldron, it may transform into a Void-level treasure, and the conditions for its use remain unchanged!"
"Of course, whether the enhancement is successful depends on your crafting skills and whether the materials can withstand the damage."
Chen Yuan nodded, but he didn't care. The amplification treasures and such were not important to him. He had already optimized all his treasures to the eternal peak by relying on the optimization system.
"Does this cauldron have any other uses?"
"Of course." The golden-armored man gave Chen Yuan a deep look, seemingly sensing his mindset, and felt somewhat uncomfortable, but still nodded and said, "The second function of the Creation Cauldron is automated refining!"
"As long as the Creation Cauldron is used to refine a finished product and continues to provide materials, then the Creation Cauldron can continuously refine the previous secret treasures."
"Even secret treasures intended for use by beings who have reached the level of sainthood can be created independently by the Creation Cauldron!"
