Crimson Immortal Inheritance(2/2)

'Limitless will soul beast, this effect is extremely interesting…' Just the name alone was enough to pique Fang Xian's interest, he thought momentarily that this was a soul beast specifically made for him. After looking at the description of it, he was even more intrigued.

The limitless will soul beast allowed the user to use the formless existence, will, as a corporeal power source, using it to cover for the expenditure of soul qi.

This was something Fang Xian could add to Chaotic Dragon Formless Blade to increase its power greatly, Fang Xian had an idea for an improved version of the first form - Formless Dragon's Chaos, however, it expended too much soul qi to actually implement.

With this improvement, he could possibly match rank eight peak-level cultivators!

Cultivators were split into ranks, in mortal cultivation, the degree of a cultivator's soul qi purification was also classed into how close they were to the next rank.

The classification was also called ranks and they were low, middle, high and peak. Peak-level cultivators were only a step away from the next rank. These 'ranks' were not really ranks as in major cultivation, they were above negligible differences in power and cultivation level.

It was still a step forward in cultivation though, every cultivator acknowledged this.

As a rank four middle-level cultivator, being on par with a rank eight peak-level cultivator was almost unheard of, only Eternal Demon Overlord had reached this level, but he was the greatest cultivator of all human history, he would obviously be able to achieve such a feat.

'Eternal Demon Overlord, is he truly eternal? Does he still live on in this second? Nobody knows...' Fang Xian sighed in his mind.

Fang Xian and Eternal Demon Overlord were extremely similar, both of them were infinitely ambitious, collected and demonic, if Fang Xian had anyone he somewhat looked up to, the only one it would ever be was Eternal Demon Overlord.

Eternal Demon Overlord's first rise in infamy was when he brutally killed and overpowered a rank eight heavenly cultivator as a mere rank four lone cultivator, this was shocking to the heavenly way, it was the only example in history where a four-rank difference had been breached with a singular soul technique.

Fang Xian's chaotic dragon formless blade was the fruit of his past life's labour, the soul technique with rank eight soul beasts could compare to an immortal rank one cultivator and Fang Xian estimated that when he reached mortal rank eight and all of the involved soul beasts did too, he would have power equal to a rank two immortal and challenging rank three immortals at lower levels.

This was a massive trump card for Fang Xian, second only to the unyielding demon immortal soul; but that was a last ditch resort.

Fang Xian stood for a bit, watching the glass case holding the limitless will soul beast intently. He broke the case with his hands and picked up the soul beast, pushing it into his soul land and refining it in the soul land with the power of the rank six unyielding demon immortal soul.

After doing that, the room suddenly began to collapse, rubble flew everywhere and Fang Xian was transported safely into the next and final room of the inheritance.

This room contained only ten soul beasts, all of them were rank four, same as the last room.

'There is definitely different inheritances for each mortal rank, Ye Wang didn't take the inheritance because Qi Sen did not permit him to, Ye Wang's father, Shi Wang, must have been planning for his son to obtain the inheritance, his face was quite unsightly back in the immortal's room.' Fang Xian thought to himself. 'Crimson Immortal went to such lengths, he must have had a burning desire to not leave this world without anything left behind. If I stay in this sect and progress to rank eight here, maybe I can revisit this place at every rank.'

Fang Xian walked through the second room, inspecting the ten soul beasts, eight of them were future path soul beasts, one of them was an intelligence path soul beast and the last one was a fate path soul beast!

Fate path, a path that even Fang Xian did not know existed. It was regarded by the people who knew it as the ancestor path, the path the human ancestor pioneered and cultivated, the source of all living beings, the great, ancient, powerful and mysterious fate path.

'Fate inspection soul beast? Fate path?' Fang Xian was confused after reading the description. 'What is fate path, is it what Fate-Defying Heavenly Overlord cultivated? This soul beast allows one to check their own fate.'

Fang Xian did not know any details about fate path, he did not pick this, this was an example of fear of the unknown.

None of these soul beasts were suitable for Fang Xian.

So, he did not pick a soul beast, he instead broke the fate path soul beast's glass case and watched as the room collapsed.

He finished the inheritance, appearing in the table in the immortal's room.
