Chapter 7: Ch.7: Heavenly Demon
Ch.7: Heavenly Demon
After dinner I am now laying on bed while thinking this is the time to use both the inheritance perks.
I try to access the small world I have gained through the gift pack.
At first, I can't feel anything but after concentrating for a few minutes, I can fell an inexplicable mental connection with something within myself.
I try to reach it and I find myself in a completely different plane.
There is nothing here.
I can see white bright space like everywhere. The surface I am on is white.
There are no trees and upheaval path. Just a straight fog like surface which spreads infinitely in all direction.
Though I am here but I can feel my body outside laying on the bed.
'Weird I can feel and control both the bodies, it's like my focus is being split in between two planes but there is no burden on my mind.'
I look above and see the same while colored sky.
"I don't like it if even sky is white." Just as I said that I could feel that I can change the whole plane according to my wishes.
So, I changed the sky making it a proper night sky filled with beautiful multicolored stars and cosmic heavenly bodies.
"Umu! Thats more like it!"
Looking at the mesmerizing sight of night stars rare to see even on the most fortunate night I could feel a smile naturally forming on my lips.
Looking at other directions, I could feel infinite space which can store anything inside of it.
There was not much info given about it in the notes of the gift pack but as I own it now, I can tell, it's not just an inventory.
But if I have to define its features, then they are:
1)Infinite Space
-It gives the user infinite space to store things and total control over it. If I wish I can even build a castle and city in here.
2)A potential training space
-When I access the space, there is no burden on my body and mind. It's like the me inside it and the me who is controlling my body are completely different entities or have two different brains.
3)Item repair and return
If I bring any item inside here once, I can bind it with this space. Once this is done, I can recall the item inside the small world anytime I want. And the returned item, if in critical condition or is broken can return to its former condition overtime.
4)Mental Connection
Maybe just maybe I have the feeling that this is mentally connected to me so maybe can I not just connect it with my spiritual sea or mind palace I used to call in my last life?
Well, that is to think for the future me, now the problem of inventory is settled.
'Now I have 2 inheritance perks. I will use them now.'
I thought as I clicked on two options on the gift pack's window which still lingers in front of my face.
'Good thing my eyes are developing 360° view. Otherwise, it will keep blocking my vision.'
A few seconds passed by, and a splitting headache greeted me.
A headache so intense, I could feel there are 2 mix-up memories in my mind.
First is some persons' life and other one contains data, too much data.
Like someone just shoved 200 GB data directly in a computer with 201 GB storage remaining.
It's obvious what will happen.
It will lag.
The system might even crash, if some adjacent copies get created alongside.
That's what I feel like happening to myself.
In mist of that, I couldn't even feel objects appearing inside of the small world.
And I lost consciousness.
…
Other day.
I woke up late almost at afternoon.
My parents thought I was tired when they called, and I didn't wake up.
After all both in this life and last life I was a light sleeper.
Even the sound of light door knock was enough to wake me up.
I am still feeing some residue headache, even when my memories are properly sorted out.
There are too many memories mixed up in my head, if not for 'Karma Seal's' Life Record ability sorting it all out.
I think I would have died if not for it.
Heh, how would that name me?
'Fifth Hero who died after getting his memories back?'
Funny enough.
Now onto the Immortal Sect Inheritance which I have received.
Nine-Dark Heavenly Courts.
That's its name, seems sinister enough to me.
The Nine-Dark Heavenly Court was one of the most famed Immortal Sects in the Immortal realm of the cultivation world it's from.
The 'Nine-Dark' in its name signifies the nine leaders of the Sect specialized in Nine different fields.
Commanding Nine different forces. So there are variety of techniques in the collection.
Though these people mostly depended on the powerful physiques and bloodlines, so due to the innate limitations 99.99% of techniques are not useable.
Still, I got something which is useful in all worlds, that is I became rich!
It's spirit gold, heavy silver, cold jade spirit Iron, and many other spirit alloys.
Not only that but other rare pure elements as well.
I have a small mountain each for more than 200 types of precious metals.
Let's say Bob's luck shined upon me when this random inheritance got chosen.
Karma Seal has organized it in a form where it is in my memory, but I have to access it in the form of files to be opened, not direct memory.
This sect is a famed sect on the outside but in reality, it was a gang of thieves who threatened every other sect to had out their special techniques and arts.
Those are the reason for them being so loaded.
But damn those are some cringy names!
I checked the small world and found out that there are 9 different mountains piling up in there entirely made of books only.
These mountains consisted of books only. Books on alchemy, books on blacksmithing, books on sword techniques, books on cultivation, etc., all adding up to more than Millions of books.
'Bet most of these things are useless, will try to sell it in shop function of Chat group. Still, I doubt anyone will purchase it.'
My other memory is one I got from the Heavenly demon of another damn cultivation world.
Wait! He is from the same world!
I checked my memories as the Heavenly Demon guy was a person who's full inheritance I got, I know all of his life memory.
In his last memory he died.
But before dying he… massacred the said sect.
Just when I was hoping for him not to turn out to be a psychopath.
He who was named Cheon Ma was the progenitor of Heavenly Demonic Sect.
He freed the peopled from the tyranny of Barbaric Unorthodox and Self-righteous Orthodox clans in the Murim.
Born as a normal person knowing the lives of normal people he became ruler of his world for those normal people.
He singles handedly created the heavenly demon sect and raised powerful martial artists.
Me mastered the way of stealth and killing.
Made different kind of martial arts and various arts.
After acquiring the strength necessary he raised his voice against those demons in human skin.
And a new wave of war started. Fighting, training, dueling and then again fighting.
That was the way of heavenly demon.
But human life had its limits…
A time came when he had completed all the goals he had in his life, but the age was catching up to him, he didn't have the strength to wield weapon in his hand and fought like he used to.
So, he made a new goal for himself.
Master all the martial arts in the world in the world and make a greater version for each of them.
Time again passed my now only little of flesh and all bones of what once mighty ruler of Murim was left.
Even as a Pinnacle martial artist it was impossible for one to live as long he had lived.
Still one thing kept him alive.
He still had yet to make the last martial art cultivation technique that consisted all of his life's martial art encapsulated.
And after a dozen of years, he had done that.
The greatest cultivation technique in the world! One never seen before; one that won't appear ever again!
A technique so great that the current greatest of the world might seem as trash in front of it.
When reaching the limits of what world could provide him.
He died.
But that wasn't the end.
He reincarnated again in another world with new opportunities, new ambition, in a new world.
But most importantly this time, with a new power.
After stepping in a new world, the world of possibilities opened for him.
An unknown journey, a new world where people with heaven defying strength regicides, a world where there is limit to life.
New realm of cultivations and new foes to oppose.
He still didn't stop and reached the pinnacle of the world at the end.
Even stole and derived new techniques.
He fought new wars just like he liked, but this time alone.
Even upgraded his last life's greatest work to even this world greatest Technique.
And died.
The end of the story.
'Well, that was a not so boring story.'
<The Karma Seal has detected your 2 past lives. Your first life experience of 512 years and second life experience of 1085 years and all the biological data is being stored in Karma Seal's 'Life Record'.>
<Newly recalled biological data will be merged with your original body overtime.>
'…'
Does it treat the inherited memories of heavenly demon as my own?
Well, my martial soul is adjusting and even strengthening itself by the feedback of the memories.
'I can't say no to that right?'
I thought as I felt Karma seal reacting to the large number of memories and changing its appearance pattern somewhat.
And it manifested in the form of small diamond mark starting from the back of my right-hand palm with various tattoo like ancient letter being drawn over it spreading to my left chest right where I got stabbed.
The marked part was glowing in glittering silverish-purple light with the sun like bright red outlines and ancient runic letters floating in the air with the halo of silvery-purple waves running through the surroundings occasionally.
I tried to feel my connection to my Martial spirit.
It was growing in tremendous speed. Not my soul power nor my spiritual energy had changed but I could feel it vaguely that something had changed.
'Now to find a suitable spirit training technique.'
Though I have Heavenly Demon's memories. He wasn't specialized in spiritual cultivation.
Afterall not everyone is good at everything.
Just when I thought I should find the thing for which I did all this, the door of his room spung open with a light bang.
I moved on reflex, not believing my own movements.
I was a shinobi in my last life by my field of focus was Ninjutsu, Genjutsu and Fuinjutsu.
I had nothing to do with kenjutsu or taijutsu. Maybe that was the part of the reason why I died.
What ever it was it was something I did.
But hey, it's not time for that, now I should focus on the ongoing fight.
I turned my head towards the door, but all I could see was an open door.
'I let my guard down!'
The enemy is a skilled one. Likely above rank of a Spirit Grandmaster.
It was suspicious, very weirdly suspicious.
But the questions like 'how can an assassin of just this level enter the Fu family manor' and 'why from the front door that to in broad daylight' didn't came to me.
All I knew was if it is an enemy, it must be delt with.
With that I tried spreading my spiritual perception, I could feel my whole room in my range of senses.
But I couldn't find the intruder.
So, I relaxed my body… but not my senses.
As I could feel something sharp being thrown in my direction from by back just as I let my body relax.
'Found you!' My frown turned into a smirk as I dodged the thrown projectiles and counter attacked by throwing some copper coins coated in soul power which I picked from my small world.
The trespasser who stood at the window, behind the curtains where I couldn't see.
"Show yourself, you have been spotted. An assassin's ambush is only effective till they are hidden, out of the sight. You have lost already, now show yourself!"
I said that but I could see the figure behind the curtain vanishing as if an afterimage.
'A spirit skill? But how? I definitely felt a presence there.'
I thought as I felt someone sneaking on me from behind.
I turned but I could only see a red blur before I was taken off the ground in the midair…
