Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 114: Rules of Inheritance Site

Every region in this world has an inheritance site of its own. It was a unanimous decision by the seniors of the world to create one, leaving behind a lifeline for the human cultivators in this realm.

These inheritance sites were created to preserve some of the human cultivators in case a day arrived when the total annihilation of humanity became inevitable.

This was done before some of the seniors ascended to the upper world, for at that time, survival itself seemed uncertain. Given the unpredictability of the future, they had to create a contingency—and thus, the inheritance sites were born.

There are certain rules for staying within the inheritance site. Since it was created by many mighty figures, each of them left behind a portion of their will, forming a vast consciousness that governs the site.

This consciousness established rules when it saw that humanity was thriving and the former danger had subsided. After that, it fully transformed into an inheritance site, where cultivators could seek the legacies of ancient seniors.

However, it is no simple matter. Although there are many inheritances within, not all have been claimed even after all these years.

Each inheritance is ranked based on the strength of the senior in their time and placed in different areas according to its value.

Even if some inheritances have already been claimed, they do not disappear from the site. As long as the will of the senior who left it behind remains and deems one worthy, it can be claimed again.

Well, that’s all about the inheritances, though I doubt you would be particularly interested in them, as they wouldn’t be of much help to you or Ming Yue. Even Zhi Hui and I are not aiming to obtain them.

Of course, acquiring one from the core area would be greatly beneficial and could hasten our cultivation in the higher realms. Still, it wouldn’t hinder us much if we failed to do so.

The true reason I’m excited about entering the inheritance site is that, even without obtaining an inheritance, one can comprehend the primary laws within. This will aid us greatly in stepping into the Heavenly King Realm much earlier than we normally would.

You see, upon becoming a Heavenly King, your core or dantian transforms and becomes a world of its own. Its size varies with your strength, and the environment within it reflects the Dao you pursue.

Though creating a new dimension through the combined power of many mighty figures is possible, forming a true world within is incredibly difficult. They could create small ones—but nothing grand enough to be considered a true world, though some are larger than a single region.

So, how did they create it?

Simple. They used their own dantians. Of course, this was done only by seniors who were grievously injured or those who were too old and had no hope of progressing further.

They sacrificed themselves for the creation of the inheritance sites. That is why you will see that many areas within the site have vastly different environments.

Some are blazing hot, some freezing cold, some are filled only with water, and some are swept by endless winds. This is because those regions were formed from the dantians of different mighty figures.

Sigh... she said after speaking for a while.

Even Jiang Hao was stunned. No matter how he looked at it, those mighty seniors were truly selfless. They gave up everything to build a future for humanity.

Though he was not a sentimental person, he still bowed inwardly, paying his respects for their sacrifice. It was because of them that humanity still stood strong in this world.

"The maximum cultivation level allowed to enter the inheritance site is the Void Reversion Realm. This was decided by the consciousness of the inheritance world itself.

The reason is simple—after reaching the Heavenly King Realm, a cultivator walks their own path, and thus, no inheritance would choose them as successors.

It is different in the Central Region, though. In their inheritance site, even cultivators above that realm are permitted entry.

The inheritance site itself acts as a massive array. It absorbs spirit qi from the world for hundreds of years, so the spiritual density within is beyond imagination. Cultivating there is far more beneficial than what any simple pill could provide.

This is another reason why everyone looks forward to entering it—because the chances of a successful breakthrough in such a place are far higher.

There are also rules within the inheritance site. Higher realm cultivators cannot attack those of lower realms—this rule applies mainly to major realm differences, not minor stage gaps.

That is why it is advisable to enter the inheritance site only when you are at the peak of your realm. Killing is not stopped by the consciousness—in fact, it encourages it, to select only the most worthy successors for humanity.

There are exceptions, however. A higher realm cultivator can attack a lower one if they are first challenged and accept it, or if the lower realm cultivator initiates the attack.

Of course, while the consciousness encourages battle, it also offers safe zones for those who seek not battle but cultivation—such as alchemists and array masters.

These safe zones are clearly marked and visible to all, guided by a light when you enter.

So, in summary, the inheritance site is a place to temper the new generation of cultivators who will safeguard the dignity of the human race.

There is also a grand competition held within the site that grants generous rewards to the victors. You will learn about it once inside—whether to participate or not will be your choice.

The inheritance site will open in two months, and we need not go elsewhere to enter it. As long as we are within the Eastern Region, we can enter."

Jiang Hao was surprised upon hearing this. He had assumed they would have to travel to a specific place, but it seemed he was wrong. No wonder Senior Mei Ling did not mention a location.

"You see, when it opens, many nodes will descend from the skies above the Eastern Region," she said, pointing upward.

"They are spatial nodes, and they will be scattered across every part of the region, including the forbidden zones. As long as you are within ten thousand meters of a node, you can enter the inheritance site.

And because this site is created by mighty seniors and functions as a giant killing array, if any beast attempts to enter, it will be destroyed instantly.

So, in two months, we will enter the inheritance site. It will be a good opportunity to gain experience."

Jiang Hao nodded. He was indeed inexperienced in the matters of this world. He was only eighteen years old and had not seen much.

Hearing something and witnessing it with one’s own eyes are very different. He had once wished to travel the world before fate brought him here. He still intended to do so in the future—but for now, the inheritance site was a good start.

After all, cultivators from all across the Eastern Region would be gathering.

"Oh, by the way, cultivators from every corner of the world will come—at least those who can afford to travel to the Eastern Region. You can expect the presence of those from the top powers of the world.

The news of its opening would have already spread far and wide. No one would want to miss such a golden opportunity. This happens each time an inheritance site is about to open.

Though the average interval is a hundred years, it is not fixed—it can open a few years earlier. No one knows the exact time until five years before the opening, when a fluctuation passes through the region, signaling the beginning.

The inheritance site in the Central Region opens every fifty years. This is because the spiritual density there is far higher, and they also use a special node that continuously consumes spirit stones to maintain it. All the major powers in the Central Region contribute spirit stones to keep it active."

Jiang Hao was stunned by this revelation. The scale of the inheritance site truly was an enormous matter for cultivators everywhere. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"Also, once the inheritance site opens, one can stay inside for six months to a full year. You may leave after six months or choose to remain for the entire year. Every safe zone has a node that allows for departure. You will return to the location where you entered, or you can choose a different node to reappear elsewhere.

Now, here’s the important part—the reason the six-month mark is significant is because, after that time, most of the smaller safe zones close. Thus, those who wish to avoid deadly conflict are advised to leave at the six-month point.

In the Central Region, this time limit is doubled—cultivators can remain inside for two whole years.

That is the basic information you need to know about the inheritance site, you can figure out other things easily once inside so there is no need to mention them"

Jiang Hao nodded in acknowledgment. He understood everything clearly. He also knew that the inheritance site was not a place for the weak or ordinary cultivators—for if they failed to reach a safe zone in time, they would undoubtedly fall prey to others.
