Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

1126 Heavenly Rune Pill

The glass orb shattered to pieces, sprinkling downward. There was a strong surge of qi that descended upon Ryu, baptizing him. It seemed that Ryu would be torn to pieces, however, after closing his eyes for a moment and then opening them, the wave of qi became incredibly docile.

After another few seconds, the inheritance completely assimilated with Ryu as thought it was always meant to be his.

The other geniuses stood frozen.

A few seconds? If that? It felt like what they were seeing was absolutely impossible. How could someone assimilate an inheritance so quickly?

If they were correct, that was an alchemy inheritance, if that was the case, in comparison to other inheritances, it was even more difficult to assimilate than most others would be. The methods and philosophies of alchemists tended to vary wildly across a spectrum, there were simply too many paths to take. And unlike with other paths that usually had the same foundation in the end, this wasn't necessarily true for alchemy.

In terms of difficulty, only a formation inheritance or blacksmithing inheritance would be more difficult to assimilate. So why had it been so casual?

Ryu waved a hand and the last motes of light vanished.

The most valuable part of this alchemy inheritance wasn't the concoction methods, although this was indeed quite good. Until now, Ryu had been fusing many lesser concoction methods and using them fluidly while relying on his Dao to produce results, but this concoction method, passed down by a Transcended Sky God, was leagues beyond.

Even so, the most valuable part of this inheritance was actually the alchemy recipes and the embryonic cauldron nurturing methods.

The Frost Clan had quite a number of these, however when it came to the alchemy recipes, there were simply too many for any one in existence to claim to have them all. The same was the case for embryonic cauldron nurturing, maybe even more so than usual.

This Sky God called herself the Favor Alchemy Sky God. She was adept at gathering and concentrating Heavenly Favor in her pills and her cauldron for the sake of increasing her rate of success. Due to this, despite being a Transcended Sky God, she could succeed in forming Omniscient Grade Pills with a 10% success rate. This was a success rate that even Omniscient Sky God Alchemists might not be able to match!

Her magnum opus was the Heavenly Rune Pill. This was a pill she concocted and carried around with her in day-to-day business. Every decade, it formed a rudimentary rune, every millennium these foundational runes would fuse into a great rune, and every ten millennia these great runes would fuse into a heavenly rune.

Once the heavenly rune was formed, the pill would be able to begin gathering Heavenly Favor and concentrating it. From then on, for every year that passed the accumulation would increase exponentially.

The Heavenly Rune Pill was created by the Favor Alchemy Sky God in her twilight years, and due to the difficulty, she had only managed to concoct three of them in total. According to her inheritance, she had left these three Heavenly Rune Pills in a hidden Legacy World that would only begin to slowly manifest itself in the case that her inheritance was claimed.

According to the description, upon swallowing the Heavenly Rune Pill, its benefit would be entirely dependent on the route you wanted to take.

The favor Alchemy Sky God had created them with the intent to break into the Omniscient Sky God Realm. According to her, had she lived long enough to allow them to mature for a few billion years and reach complete saturation, she would have a 50% chance of breaking through with a single pill. If she swallowed two, she would have a 70% chance. If she swallowed three, she would have an 85% chance.

Such percentages for such a Realm were absolutely shocking. Unfortunately for the Favor Alchemy Sky God, she didn't have such a long lifespan left, and as an alchemist, she had already extended her life many times before, stalling the collapse of her Dao.

It was quite ironic, she said in her final words. Her Dao had allowed her to achieve her greatest feat in her ending years, and yet the Heavens had still decided that she would die. Even while breathing her final breaths, she didn't understand why this was at all.

Ryu frowned when he meditated on the inheritance to this point.

The lifespan of Sky Gods was dependent on the persistence of their Dao. Logically, if the Favor Alchemy Sky God could succeed in her final moments, her belief in her Dao should have skyrocketed, allowing her many more years of life.

Something about this felt off.

For someone like Ryu, he didn't believe that he would ever reach the point of doubting himself. Under such circumstance he would then, theoretically, live forever. But if the Heavens could arbitrarily decide when your time was up, then did that mean that even after becoming a Sky God your life wasn't in your own hands?

Ryu stood in silence for a long while before opening his eyes. When he became a Sky God, he would find out personally.

These three Heavenly Rune Pills would be greatly beneficial to him, they would be the key to unlocking the true potential of his Bloodlines. If they could help even Transcended Sky Gods breakthrough, then if he applied their prowess to his talent instead, the changes would definitely be shocking.

He had just a few years to reach this Legacy World before its presence became prominent enough that others would sense it. Since it was on the Sixth Heaven, he would have to be quick. If he wasn't, he could end up locked out of his own inheritance.

Although the Favor Alchemy Sky God said that those above the World Sea Realm couldn't enter, that didn't mean that Sky Gods couldn't bar others from actually entering. Ryu couldn't let those pills fall into the hands of others.

Ryu exhaled a breath and continued to walk forward, the shock of those around him not moving him in the slightest.
