Chapter 868: World Wonders Can Also Be Bought (Second update, requesting everything)

When the token was pressed against the Spirit Gathering Stele, a faint point of light emerged upon it.

As time slowly passed, the point of light grew brighter and brighter, until it reached an extreme, giving one a blinding sensation.

It is indeed worthy of being a King's inheritance; the level of brightness far exceeds the Spirit Origin Inheritance of the seventh Principal.

Watching this scene, Xu Wenhua did not feel surprised, because over these years, several descendants of the first Principal had come here one after another to receive the Spirit Origin Inheritance.

Unfortunately, they either failed to obtain the first Principal's inheritance, or they obtained an extremely incomplete one; let alone a complete inheritance, not even one person had obtained a partial inheritance.

It is also because of this that although the first Principal's spirit origin had been absorbed many times by his descendants, it had not dissipated.

However, as the number of people receiving the first Principal's inheritance increased, the difficulty of obtaining the first Principal's Spirit Origin Inheritance also grew exponentially; in the last ten years, not a single descendant of the first Principal had obtained even a shred of scattered inheritance, all ending in failure.

It is also because of this that in recent years, news has circulated in the Academy that the first Principal's spirit origin had been completely absorbed by his descendants.

On this issue, the Academy's top brass never offered an explanation, instead defaulting to silence.

However, Xu Wenhua did not believe Li Zhangsheng would fail; just based on Li Zhangsheng's status as a Pseudo-King, plus the first Principal's personal token, he would definitely obtain the first Principal's inheritance, it was merely a question of how much.

The Spirit Origin Inheritance is also closely related to one's realm; the higher the realm, the easier it is to obtain the inheritance.

Yet at this very moment, the spirit origin representing the first Principal began to flicker, gradually showing a trend of dimming.

Li Zhangsheng felt a sense of urgency; he naturally had a certain understanding of the Spirit Gathering Stele, and the light of the spirit origin symbolized the completeness of the inheritance.

If the light of the spirit origin remained in a peak state, one could obtain the complete Spirit Origin Inheritance; conversely, the further it was from the peak state, the more severely the inheritance had been reduced.

Clearly, the first Principal's spirit origin did not quite approve of Li Zhangsheng; if things continued this way, Li Zhangsheng would at most obtain a portion of the first Principal's inheritance, or perhaps only fragmented pieces.

Li Zhangsheng did not have the first Principal's Bloodline, nor did he have any other items possessing the first Principal's aura.

Even so, it did not mean he was without options.

With a movement of his mind, a wisp of Mysterious Yellow aura surged into the Spirit Gathering Stele; it was Li Zhangsheng integrating a wisp of Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi into the Spirit Gathering Stele.

In an instant, the Spirit Gathering Stele trembled slightly.

As a World Wonder, the Spirit Gathering Stele naturally possessed no small amount of sentience; upon accepting Li Zhangsheng's bribe—no, gift—it naturally leaned toward Li Zhangsheng.

Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi can increase the power of a World Wonder, and if the quantity is sufficient, it can even raise the grade of a World Wonder; the significance to the Spirit Gathering Stele is self-evident.

Under the inclination of the Spirit Gathering Stele, the light of the spirit origin representing the first Principal stabilized all at once, though after increasing in brightness to a certain point, it again gradually showed a trend of dimming.

Clearly, this wisp of Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi did not satisfy the Spirit Gathering Stele's appetite.

Upon discovering that the Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi was useful, Li Zhangsheng integrated wisp after wisp of Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi into the Spirit Gathering Stele.

Under these circumstances, the spirit origin representing the first Principal grew increasingly bright.

Seeing such a scene, Xu Wenhua, who was to the side, opened his mouth in surprise; he had not expected there to be such a maneuver.

Unfortunately, this method is only suitable for a very small number of people; after all, how many people would, like Li Zhangsheng or Ning Bizhen, possess a significant amount of Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi before becoming a King?

Over so many years, Xu Wenhua had only obtained a tiny bit of Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi, and that was only obtained in his early years when he assisted two Kings in slaying a Demon Commander; he had never obtained any since.

As more Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi was integrated, the Spirit Gathering Stele trembled more violently; even if the first Principal's spirit origin had the intention to oppose, it was helpless, and eventually, it returned to its peak state.

The Spirit Gathering Stele signaled that Li Zhangsheng had given too much, directly ignoring the first Principal's spirit origin will.

"It cost about three percent!"

Li Zhangsheng did not input any more Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi; exchanging three percent of his total Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi for the first Principal's complete Spirit Origin Inheritance, this deal could be said to be very worthwhile.

Upon satisfying the Spirit Gathering Stele, the spirit origin originating from the first Principal stopped flickering, actively detached from the Spirit Gathering Stele, and fell into Li Zhangsheng's acupoint between his eyebrows.

The next moment, countless unfamiliar memories surged madly into Li Zhangsheng's mind.

Li Zhangsheng had already experienced two similar events, but those two times were not as intense as this one.

His head began to ache slightly; even so, Li Zhangsheng only swayed his body slightly, bearing the first Principal's Spirit Origin Inheritance without changing his expression.

Compared to before, his ability to withstand memory shocks was clearly much stronger.

In the process of the inheritance, the first Principal's spirit origin was also gradually dimming.

Seeing Li Zhangsheng obtain the first Principal's complete inheritance, Xu Wenhua could not help but feel a bit envious; he couldn't help but look at the Spirit Gathering Stele with regret—if he had so much Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi, he would also want to try.

Soon, the first Principal's spirit origin slowly disappeared from sight.

This signified that the last trace of the first Principal left in this world had vanished, and at the same time, it meant that from now on, no one could obtain the first Principal's Spirit Origin Inheritance.

Li Zhangsheng let out a light breath; this surge of memories was as vast as the sea. After all, it was the first Principal's two hundred plus years of experience; even after a large amount of useless parts were removed, it was still unimaginably massive.

After absorbing them, Li Zhangsheng casually performed a few Seal Techniques, temporarily sealing these memories deep in his mind, where they could be reviewed or deleted at any time.

Xu Wenhua said sincerely: "Changsheng, congratulations on obtaining the first Principal's complete inheritance."

The stronger Li Zhangsheng's strength, the benefits to Yuanling Academy could be said to be self-evident; if Yuanling Academy became strong, he could also obtain greater benefits, and perhaps one day he would become a King.

After all matters were concluded, Li Zhangsheng followed Xu Wenhua out of the Secret Realm.

"Principal, I am heading back now!"

Li Zhangsheng could not wait to examine the first Principal's inheritance; this was the complete inheritance of a King, which would definitely be of great benefit to him, at the very least allowing him to avoid some detours.

After bidding farewell to Xu Wenhua, Li Zhangsheng used Instant Movement to quickly return to the Number One Courtyard.

It was not much different from before he left, only that the number of Spirit Beast cubs in the front yard had increased.

Originally, Li Zhangsheng was about to return to his bedroom, but upon seeing the figure of one of the cubs, he first froze slightly, then immediately revealed a smile.
