Chapter 350: Lei Shen's Inheritance! Three SSS-Rank Items!

"The First Civilization Era?" Xu Jingming's heart gave a jolt.

Blue Star's historical development seemed far more ancient than he had imagined.

"Just as your understanding of our era is limited, our understanding of the First Civilization Era isn't all that extensive either.

However, this 'Lei Shen' was a dazzling, star-like figure of the First Civilization Era.

He is recorded in all manner of documents from that era.

His rank even surpassed the ninth tier, reaching the realm of the Supreme Being."

The mature-sister form of Eva continued.

"There are ranks above the ninth tier?" Xu Jingming's expression faltered slightly.

"That's right. Awakeners above the ninth tier have already broken through the limits of the genetic lock.

They possess the ability to traverse the starry skies with their physical bodies, and are also known as Supreme Beings."

Eva nodded, her beautiful pale-green eyes fixed on Xu Jingming:

"Your Third Civilization Era also had Supreme Beings.

Over fifty years ago, when Trial Base No. 9 was first excavated, I sensed such an aura..."

Above the ninth tier!

Supreme Beings!

Traversing the void with one's physical body!

Xu Jingming's face showed a look of shock. He had originally assumed the peak of the ninth tier was the strongest Blue Star had to offer.

He never expected there to be even stronger beings above that!

"The Supreme Being 'Lei Shen' possessed the same SS-rank ability as you — 'Doushen Shenlei'.

Therefore, when the basic intelligence detected your aptitude,

It identified that your talent was an extremely close match for this inheritance, and awakened me, the master intelligence, from my slumber.

Eva's voice rang out again: "As a Supreme Being of the First Civilization Era, the inheritance left behind by Lei Shen is exceedingly rare.

We only just barely managed to gather one such inheritance, so it has been classified as the higher-authority 'Sequential Inheritance'.

Within this Sequential Inheritance are included an SSS-rank Spirit Refining Art practiced by Lei Shen,

an SSS-rank lightning-system combat technique manual, and an SSS-rank heavenly treasure.

Comparatively speaking, the value of this Sequential Inheritance is certainly higher than Inheritance No. 003.

However, I must remind you that, unlike Inheritance No. 003,

Lei Shen's inheritance offers no cultivation experience to reference — everything must be started from scratch by you.

As a Supreme Being, the SSS-rank Spirit Refining Art and SSS-rank lightning-system combat technique created by Lei Shen are extremely profound.

Merely studying the combat technique manual could waste you years, or even decades, and you might ultimately gain nothing at all.

Inheritance No. 003, on the other hand, points directly to the Great Dao.

With your SS-rank ability, recreating Ezzel's glory — or even surpassing him — is not impossible.

The choice between the two inheritances is yours to make..."

Having finished, she waved her right hand, and another figure appeared.

This figure was entirely pitch-black, tall and burly, with resplendent golden-yellow lightning coiling around him.

His face could not be clearly seen either, but only the pair of eyes were revealed, as if possessing a resolute, world-contempting aura!

"A Supreme Being named Lei Shen, who shared the same ability as me?"

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up, without a shred of hesitation: "I choose Lei Shen's Sequential Inheritance!"

Please,

one is at the peak of the ninth tier, the other is a Supreme Being — the two ceilings aren't even on the same level.

Which to pick — does that even need thinking about?

As for the problem of having no cultivation experience to reference, for an ordinary awakener it really is a huge headache.

But for him, who possessed the Deep Blue system, it wasn't a problem at all!

So long as he had enough ability points, he could learn an SSS-rank combat technique just the same — watch him!

"A bold choice. I hope that after receiving Lei Shen's inheritance, you will gain something from it.

This is the spatial ring of the Sequential Inheritance. Take it."

Eva's slender right hand reached out before Xu Jingming, her Bai Xi palm opening.

At once, a mechanical arm extended from beneath the pedestal at Xu Jingming's feet, upon which a silver-white spatial ring lay quietly.

"So this is the Sequential Inheritance of the Supreme Being 'Lei Shen'..."

With a hint of anticipation, Xu Jingming took the spatial ring from the mechanical arm.

The moment his spiritual force brushed against it, the entire interior space of the ring was laid bare before him.

The capacity of this spatial ring was not large — only about five cubic meters.

Inside were three items: a wooden box, a thick combat technique manual, and a black-gold metal card.

Xu Jingming took the wooden box out first. Before he could open it, Eva hurriedly said:

"Inside the wooden box is the SSS-rank heavenly treasure 'Sacred Essence Fruit'. Consuming it can increase spiritual force by nearly 1,200 points.

Only awakeners of the fourth tier and above may consume it. An awakener may only consume it once in their lifetime; consuming it again will have no effect.

Because this 'Sacred Essence Fruit' has been stored for an excessively long time, it is best consumed within two hours of opening the wooden box.

Otherwise its medicinal efficacy will rapidly dissipate and be lost."

"An SSS-rank heavenly treasure that boosts spiritual force!"

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up. "Can I consume it now?"

Since it's a heavenly treasure, better to swallow it now and boost your strength than keep it useless.

"You're a fourth-rank upper-tier psychic—you can definitely consume it," Eva replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Xu Jingming no longer hesitated and opened the box directly.

Immediately, a milky-white fruit slightly larger than a ping-pong ball came into view.

As the wooden box opened, a rich vanilla scent spread out, sharpening the mind.

"All this potency—don't waste it."

Xu Jingming quickly pulled out the 'Holy Essence Fruit' and swallowed it in one gulp!

The fruit dissolved instantly upon entering his mouth.

The next instant,

Xu Jingming felt his mental power surge rapidly.

The rate of increase was swift—even stronger than during a rank advancement—and lasted over a minute before gradually fading.

"This feeling is like a computer upgraded with a better CPU—its speed skyrockets!"

With his consciousness clearer than ever, Xu Jingming immediately checked his system panel.

【Name】: Xu Jingming

【Rank】: Fourth-rank upper-tier

【Psychic Ability】: Dou Tian Shen Lei (SS)

【Physique】: 8035 Qi

【Mental】: 6250 Hz

【Body Cultivation】: Lei Bu Mie Shen (S-rank, Sixth Layer)

【Psychic Points】: 9123

"My mental power has broken past six thousand!" Xu Jingming rejoiced inwardly.

The threshold for learning mental-cultivation combat techniques is 6000 mental power—meaning he didn't have to wait until fifth rank!

"It's like falling asleep and finding a pillow right away—I can now immediately obtain an SSS-rank mental-cultivation technique."

A faint glow from his space ring revealed the thick tome Xu Jingming pulled out.

But to his surprise, it wasn't a mental-cultivation technique—it was the lightning-element SSS-rank combat technique Eva had just mentioned.

"This technique is called 'Lei Shen Jiang Shi,' uniquely created by Lei Shen for lightning-elementalists.

During 'Lei Shen Jiang Shi,'

lightning-elementalists greatly reduce the casting delay and interval between spell techniques..."

Eva described the technique's general effects with a light laugh.
