With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods-Chapter 202 Inheritance
Lin Fan and Hayase's breakthroughs continued for several hours before finally the flow of spiritual energy slowed down, showing signs that they were about to finish.
As for the rest of the pets, they had finished their breakthroughs a long time ago.
After all, there was a limit to how much spiritual energy they could absorb. They had all reached their limits long ago.
Hayase was the one who finished first.
With one final burst of energy, he suddenly flew into the air and shouted, "I did it! I finally evolved!"
It had actually been a long time since Hayase had evolved. Other than growing up and becoming an adult dragon, this was the only other way to become stronger.
However, if he were to evolve while he was still a young dragon, it would mean that he would have greater potential in the future and would be much stronger than a normal dragon.
So being able to evolve now was one of Hayase's biggest blessings. ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛o𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂
Once he was done, he also went over to where the other pets were and silently waited for Lin Fan to finish.
If Lin Fan was awake, he would have noticed the sudden notification from the system of an increase in Hayase's affection. He was the one that had helped Hayase reach the point where he could evolve, so it was normal that there was an increase in affection as well.
But Lin Fan was still in his breakthrough, so he didn't notice anything around him.
Most of the water had already been drained from the pond at this point and the bottom was close to being revealed. However, the thing that attracted the most attention was the glowing orb that was in the center of this pond.
It was clear by the aura that it released, it wasn't a normal item.
Eventually, Lin Fan drained all of the water from the pond, but at which point, he was also ready to make his breakthrough.
When all of the water had been drained, the glowing dot in the pond had been revealed to be a bead. But that wasn't the most shocking thing…
The most shocking thing that was revealed was a skeleton that had been at the bottom of this pond.
The aura that this skeleton released also made it clear that it wasn't a normal thing.
But still, Lin Fan was focused on his breakthrough and didn't notice anything.
Lin Fan finally no longer had the same thirst as before as he could tell that his store of internal spiritual energy had finally been completely filled. Moreover, it was as if there was a base that had now been built inside of him that would house his future cultivation.
That was the foundation of his cultivation base, that was the essence of the Foundation Realm.
However, his foundation was different from the foundation of a normal cultivator.
Lin Fan's foundation had five different colours to it, each corresponding to one of the five elements. It seemed like his Spiritual Root had some effect on his foundation, but that wasn't a bad thing.
It just meant that it would be harder for Lin Fan to break through since he required more spiritual energy, but it also meant that he would be much stronger than normal cultivators since he would be able to utilize the five elements with his spiritual energy.
When he was about to break through and open his eyes, Lin Fan suddenly felt something strange coming from his dantian.
The part of his dantian that represented the water element, for some reason it was trembling.
Lin Fan couldn't help feeling nervous because he was worried that this meant that his breakthrough was going to fail, but before he could do anything, it suddenly stopped trembling as a blue orb suddenly appeared in his dantian.
Lin Fan didn't know where this blue orb suddenly came from, but as soon as it appeared, his dantian settled down and he felt the burst of energy filling him. It didn't take long before his breakthrough had finished and he opened his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he couldn't help being shocked because right in front of him was a skeleton.
He didn't know where this skeleton came from, but having it this close to him was definitely terrifying, so he couldn't help jumping to his feet and jumping out of the crater that the pond had once filled. fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m
When he landed, he took a deep breath to calm himself and to stabilize his cultivation before turning to his pets to ask about the skeleton. The only answer that he received was that none of them knew where it came from either and that it had been at the bottom of the pond the entire time.
So Lin Fan turned back to look at the skeleton for a bit.
Before he could jump down into the crater to check the skeleton, Hayase suddenly asked, "What happened to the bead that was at the bottom of the pond? It just suddenly floated up and went into you. Do you feel anything weird?"
"Bead?" Lin Fan couldn't help repeating in a confused voice before suddenly understanding something.
He then asked, "What do you mean by bead?"
Hayase explained how they had found that there was both a bead and a skeleton at the bottom of the pond when it dried up. He then explained how the bead had suddenly started to shake when the pond had completely dried up and then flew right into Lin Fan's chest before disappearing.
Lin Fan stopped him from continuing as he opened up his status window.
To his surprise, he found that in his status, there was now something called the "Clear Water Bead" that was listed.
He thought about it for a moment before suddenly remembering the description for the Clear Water Pond from before.
Clear Water Pond:
A special pond that was created with the power of the Clear Water Bead. It contains a large amount of spiritual energy.
That was right! This Clear Water Pond had been made with the power of the Clear Water Bead!
So now that this Clear Water Bead was inside of his dantian…if he were to…
With this thought passing through his mind, Lin Fan closed his mind and focused on the blue bead that was inside of his dantian. When he focused on it, he found that he was indeed able to control it.
So with a thought, he gathered spiritual energy in this Clear Water Bead and incited its power.
When this Clear Water Bead was started, it began glowing as it gathered the spiritual energy around Lin Fan.
The pets immediately moved back away from Lin Fan when they felt this suction force. That was because this suction force was so strong that it was even pulling their spiritual energy away.
After pulling in spiritual energy for some time, the Clear Water Bead finally stopped glowing.
At this point, Lin Fan opened his eyes and raised his hand. With his hand raised, there was water that started condensing in the air above his palms.
In just a few seconds, there was a drop of water that had formed.
Although it was only a drop of water, based on the aura that it had, it was clear that this wasn't just a normal drop of water. When one looked at it closely, they would see that it was the same milky colour that the Clear Water Pond had been.
Lin Fan looked carefully at this drop of water, but he already knew in his heart that this was what had made up the Clear Water Pond earlier. This was the same water that had been filled with spiritual energy.
After Lin Fan finished condensing this drop of Clear Water, all of the pets couldn't help looking at it with looks of desire. That was because they could sense the spiritual energy that was coming from it and as long as they drank this drop, it would without a doubt increase their cultivation.
But none of them dared to take it from Lin Fan.
After thinking about it, Lin Fan decided to give this drop that he condensed to Shiro since she was the first pet that he had tamed.
However, when seeing the disappointed looks that everyone else had, he promised that he would condense more for them in the future. All of them revealed excited and happy looks when they heard this.
Indeed, Lin Fan could condense more of these Clear Water drops, but there was a limit to how many he could condense. That was because while the drops themselves were created from the spiritual energy in the air, the Clear Water Bead needed his spiritual energy to be activated.
Lin Fan only had so much spiritual energy and it took quite a bit to activate this Clear Water Bead. Naturally, he wouldn't be using all of his spiritual energy each day to be condensing these Clear Water drops.
So there would only be a few of these Clear Water drops in the future.
After taking care of that, Lin Fan turned his attention back to the skeleton at the bottom of the pond.
Seeing that he couldn't find anything special about the skeleton from afar, Lin Fan jumped down and landed in front of the skeleton before he started looking over it.
Even though he was looking at it from this close up, he still wasn't able to find anything special about it. The only thing that he was able to find was a ring that was hidden underneath the skeleton.
When he looked at this ring closely, he was able to sense the faint spiritual energy that was coming from it which made him realize that this was a Storage Ring.
But before he could inject his spiritual sense in to see what was inside the Storage Ring, he suddenly saw something on the wall behind the skeleton. Behind that skeleton, there was a message written on the wall.
"To the one that finds this place and this message, I leave you my inheritance. I don't have any regrets that I want you to finish for me, I just hope that you will take this inheritance and live a long life. -An unknown cultivator."
It was a very simple message, but Lin Fan was stunned since normally in this situation, an inheritance like this would involve some sort of test or trial. And when accepting an inheritance like this, the one giving the inheritance would ask for some kind of favour from the one receiving the inheritance.
But this was an inheritance that didn't have any strings attached to it…
With these conditions, Lin Fan really couldn't help feeling doubts…
However, it didn't matter if he had doubts because there really was nothing else for him to find here.
At the very least, it answered the questions that he had this entire time.
The reason why there weren't any creatures in this place was because this place was where an inheritance was hidden. The person who left this inheritance naturally didn't want any beasts, bugs, or other creatures to destroy their inheritance, so they would have left something that would have kept them all out.
As for the pond and the bead, they must have all been a part of the inheritance as well.
So since Lin Fan had already used them to help him and Hayase break through to the Foundation Realm, he had no choice but to accept the rest of this inheritance.
If there really was some catch to this inheritance, he also had no choice but to take responsibility for it.
He would have to take responsibility for his actions.
So with this decided, Lin Fan decided to take the Storage Ring as well.
He gave a bow to the skeleton sitting there to show his gratitude before turning his attention to the Storage Ring.
When he sent his spiritual senses in to search the ring, he couldn't help being shocked by what he found.
