Chapter 1244: The Core Inheritance

"Ah!"

Luo Feng grabbed onto the rocks with both hands. His entire body was trembling.

Involuntarily, he looked up. As though he was being forcibly branded with an imprint right in the middle of his brows, a black and white intersecting mark appeared, and a short while later, it was completely hidden and vanished from sight. It could no longer be observed.

Luo Feng could not control himself. His body continued to tremble. He opened his eyes and looked toward Duan Dong River, who stood beside him. "This—this is too agonizing."

"This is the imprint that generations of Duan Dong River descendants had," Duan Dong River said. "It is created by our third-generation ancestor, and every generation will inherit it; once inherited, it will be easy to conform to the entire space of inheritance! Being branded with the imprint is a must, as this is the only way to get the space of inheritance to recognize one as its master... and only those who have gained control over this space can receive the true inheritance of the pulse of my Duan Dong River."

Luo Feng nodded.

The more unique a true treasure was, the more troublesome it was in getting it to recognize its master. Such situations were similar to getting Star Tower and the White Wings to recognize Luo Feng as their master, and this space of inheritance was a treasure that the pulse of Duan Dong River used to hand over its inheritance. It was more precious than a miniature universe and much more precious than any supreme true treasure. Thus, getting it to recognize its master—how complicated a process would that be? Only those branded with the imprint could attempt to get it to recognize them as its master.

"I might have been annihilated, but I left behind my virtual consciousness." Duan Dong River looked toward Luo Feng. "With my actual thoughts, memories, and character as a template, I have created this consciousness. In this way, I could slowly wait for the next heir to come forth and receive the inheritance. I am able to leave behind this virtual consciousness. This is also a means achievable within this space of inheritance." He laughed. "The space of inheritance has a wealth of functions. It is a treasure that three generations of ancestors specially created for our inheritance. Later on, you will find out more about every one of these functions.

"As my virtual consciousness is still in control over this space of inheritance, you are unable to get it to recognize you as its master for the time being. It is a must for me to give up control voluntarily to make it possible for you to get it to recognize its master. Before it recognizes you... you must do one thing."

Duan Dong River looked at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng said with due respect, "Teacher, please guide me."

"Take an oath," Duan Dong River said sternly. "Repeat after me!"

Luo Feng nodded and listened intently.

Duan Dong River said slowly in a solemn tone, "I hereby take this oath, in the name of a newly appointed Duan Dong River, with the imprint of the inheritance as witness... I, Duan Dong River Luo Feng, will not allow the core inheritance of the pulse of Duan Dong River to fall in the hands of outsiders. If I should break my oath, then my soul shall be annihilated."

"Must I?" Luo Feng looked at Duan Dong River.

"You must." Duan Dong River nodded. "Otherwise, you shall be annihilated, and I shall have to choose another heir."

Luo Feng nodded and repeated as instructed. "I hereby take this oath, in the name of a newly appointed Duan Dong River, with the imprint of the inheritance as witness... I, Duan Dong River Luo Feng, will not allow the core inheritance of the pulse of Duan Dong River to fall in the hands of outsiders. If I should break my oath, then my soul shall be annihilated."
