After a moment of silence, Asahi finally spoke, though his first words made the atmosphere a bit tense.
"Have you ever considered what would happen if I refused? Or if I failed?" In response, the founder of the Ogami Clan chuckled softly
"Refuse? Although I didn't succeed, I pride myself on my ability to judge people correctly. I believe you will accept. As for failure, what does it matter?"
"You are this world's last hope. I have to trust that you can achieve what I couldn't. My role now is to believe in you and buy you more time."
Hearing the trust in the founder's words, Asahi smiled. Indeed, the founder's judgment was accurate—Asahi had no intention of refusing.
With a light chuckle, Asahi replied, "I must admit, your judgment is spot on. However, I can only promise to do my utmost."
"That is enough," the voice in Asahi's mind echoed again, this time filled with both comfort and resolve.
After a brief pause, the founder of the Ogami Clan continued, "Although I can't continue to guide you personally, I have prepared a gift for you."
"The treasure I crafted with my spiritual power and the lingering essence of One will be left for you."
"It contains some of my memories, all related to various techniques, methods, weapon forging, and medicine—essential auxiliary means for the path of cultivation."
"However, you will need to analyze and practice them on your own."
"By channeling your spiritual power into the treasure, you can access these memories."
"Given the vast amount of information, I advise you to take it in gradually."
"These are indispensable for the Clan. Since you are inheriting the Ogami Clan from me, you must also inherit its legacy."
"These are the resources I collected, covering all levels. These materials will save you a great deal of time in your training."
"But remember, you can learn techniques and pill refinement, but do not change your foundational cultivation method."
"Secret Art Method is the most suitable cultivation technique for humans, and there is nothing stronger."
"Also, as we part ways now, we might not meet again until the final moment."
"One last piece of advice: if you ever need resources, ask for them. If that fails, take them by force if necessary."
"Don't be afraid of owing any karma. As a member of the Ogami Clan, we fear no karma."
"Because of what we do, no matter how significant the karma, we can neutralize it."
"Remember, the world owes us karma. The Ogami Clan owes nothing."
Hearing these bold words from the founder of the Ogami Clan, Asahi was momentarily stunned.
It was indeed fitting for someone at the pinnacle of the world's hierarchy. The confidence and authority were unmistakable.
Previously, Asahi had hesitated in his actions, fearing the burden of karma. But now, upon reflection, he realized the truth in those words.
The Ogami Clan, especially its previous generation, had been maintaining the operations of the Great Law for countless eons.
How much karma did the people of this great world owe the Ogami Clan? Understanding this, Asahi nodded heavily.
A voice, filled with approval, echoed in his mind, "A promising disciple indeed." Asahi couldn't help but smile at the remark.
With a grateful tone, Asahi said, "Thank you, Master, for the gift."
"Master?" The founder of the Ogami Clan was a bit surprised by the term.
Asahi nodded and earnestly explained, "Yes, Master. Although we haven't met or formally acknowledged it, your guidance and assistance fully entitle you to be called Master."
In a small, desolate world separated by untold distances of time and space, three thousand young-looking individuals sat around a middle-aged man in meditation.
Despite their youthful appearances, the depth and age in their eyes were unmistakable, as if they had experienced endless time.
At that moment, all of them suddenly paused. The middle-aged man, who had remained motionless for countless eons, suddenly smiled.
Although the situation was urgent, everyone couldn't help but glance at him curiously.
Sensing their looks, the man explained, "You have a junior disciple now."
Though it was a simple statement, everyone present, being ancient beings themselves, immediately grasped the full meaning.
They all chuckled lightly. The atmosphere, which had been solemn for countless eons, lightened considerably with this small news.
Some even joked that if circumstances permitted, they would give their new junior disciple a grand welcoming gift.
This was exactly what the middle-aged man hoped to see. His disciples had endured so much hardship.
Everyone knew the jokes were just that—jokes.
After laughing, they all resumed their serious demeanor, diligently controlling the laws to maintain the stability of the multiverse or you might say, Omniverse.
The middle-aged man also closed his eyes again.
Although the passage of time seemed long, for these extraordinarily powerful individuals, it was merely an instant.
So, after Asahi finished explaining, the middle-aged man's voice echoed once more.
"In that case, I accept you as my disciple." Hearing this, Asahi didn't waste any words and bowed deeply.
If any of the Ogami Clan disciples outside had witnessed this scene, they would have been utterly shocked.
Asahi, the clan leader, and the world's strongest individual bowing to anyone was unimaginable.
Who could deserve such respect from him, let alone three profound bows?
However, Asahi didn't care about these formalities. The founder of the Ogami Clan was indeed a venerable and mighty figure.
Calling him Master and bowing three times felt entirely fitting to Asahi. He even considered it an honor.
Moreover, as the second-generation leader of the Ogami Clan, it was only proper for him to acknowledge the founder as his master.
After bowing, Asahi resumed his seated position and asked his new master, the former leader of the Ogami Clan:
"Since I am now your disciple, may I know your name so that my disciples and I may properly honor you in the future?"
"My name? You can call me Yudra. As for the rest, when you reach the level I hope for, everything will become clear to you."
As Asahi asked his question, the founder of the Ogami Clan's response gradually grew fainter until it eventually faded away.
"The level you expect? What level?" Asahi raised an eyebrow and quickly inquired. However, this time, there was no response.
Asahi realized that Yudra had already departed.
Sure enough, in the next second, Asahi felt as if something in his mind was about to lose control. Then, his mind cleared completely.
A bead-like object emerged from the top of Asahi's head, hovering silently above him.
As it floated there, Asahi felt a profound transformation within his mind.
Not only did his spiritual power become more solid, but he also sensed a vast expanse of spiritual consciousness.
This was unlike the mental space Asahi was familiar with; this spiritual sea served as the foundation of his mental space.
The presence of the spiritual sea allowed his mental space to remain stable.
Asahi knew that he had not yet reached the stage of opening a spiritual sea on his own; otherwise, he would have sensed it earlier.
All of this had to be due to the bead's influence or, more precisely, the gift left by Yudra.
Asahi moved his hand slightly, and the bead seemed to respond, flying directly into his right palm.
Asahi gently brought the bead to his eye level, feeling the considerable amount of his spiritual power within it.
It wasn't hard to guess that the bead had been hidden in his mental world all along.
"Yudra, huh?" Asahi murmured, holding the bead. Then, his expression grew resolute. He spoke in a low but firm voice,
"Since you have changed my destiny, I will do everything in my power to complete the task you left unfinished."
"I will ensure that none of you seniors sacrifice your last drop of blood in vain. The Ogami Clan will rise to prominence again under my leadership."
"Rest assured, Master!"
With these words, Asahi instinctively rubbed the bead in his hand.
He suddenly thought that having another bead might be even better. However, he chuckled sheepishly at the next moment.
He had been so full of ambition just now, and the next second, his thoughts had scattered.
Regaining his composure, Asahi tentatively infused a thread of spiritual power into the bead.
Instantly, he sensed the vast amount of information contained within it.
The bead functioned like an enormous USB drive, storing vast amounts of information.
To access a particular piece, Asahi only needed to focus on it mentally and increase the input of his spiritual power. At that moment, Asahi was astounded.
Yudra had mentioned that the bead contained his memories of various cultivation methods, but Asahi had never imagined the sheer quantity of techniques stored within.
Even with his current spiritual power, Asahi couldn't estimate the exact number of techniques. This was just the directory.
To master all these cultivation methods would require an unimaginable amount of time.
It might take tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands or millions of years to learn everything.
However, Asahi quickly recovered from his shock, replaced by sheer joy. The Ogami Clan currently lacked diverse knowledge.
They had plenty of high-level secret techniques and standard ninjutsu, but when it came to forging, sealing crafting, and pharma, the Ogami Clan was sorely lacking.
Everything they had in these fields was developed from scratch by Asahi's orders.
But now, with these memories, the clan's shortcomings were instantly resolved.
Even if Asahi were to reach a higher-level world and establish a new branch of the Ogami Clan, he wouldn't need to worry about lacking foundational knowledge.
Additionally, Asahi discovered how to use the bead to assess his disciples' talents.
While talent detection wasn't uncommon, the ability to predict a person's talent inclination was extraordinary.
Asahi suspected that this capability was linked to the Secret Art of One that Yudra had integrated into the bead.
Given that it was part of the Great Law, having such divination abilities made sense.
Asahi tightened his grip on the bead and murmured, "From now on, you will be named the Ogami Pearl, the token of our Ogami Clan's legacy."
With the name settled, Asahi once again channeled his spiritual power into the Ogami Pearl.
After an arduous search, he finally located the techniques he needed among the countless tomes and manuals.
