Though Luo Feng had only just completed the master-servant inheritance bond, he still harbored many questions about the Tomb Ship and the Inheritance Space. Thus, he immediately enveloped a Memory Stone with his divine power, and a deluge of information began to flow into him.

This was detailed information left by the Virtual Consciousness of Duan Donghe before its dissolution, explaining the many functions and necessary precautions for the Inheritance Space. It also revealed the modifications Duan Donghe had made to the Tomb Ship, even detailing the location of the ship's control core and how to operate it.

"The Third Ancestor Master prepared everything too thoroughly," Luo Feng murmured, deeply moved.

"The entire Inheritance Space is almost entirely the achievement of the Third Ancestor Master; the other five percent consists of functions added by successive inheritors. This makes the Inheritance Space a perfect crucible for cultivating powerhouses."

Luo Feng sighed in wonder.

It was incredibly thorough.

Without the prior intelligence left by Duan Donghe, even after bonding with the Inheritance Space, he would have had to wander and research extensively to understand its intricacies. Now, everything was perfectly grasped and under his control.

The Inheritance Space was fundamentally structured like a miniature universe, divided into numerous independent domains.

There was one area akin to a super-library—the immense information contained within the Memory Stones—which recorded nearly all the foundational techniques of the Ancient Civilization, and also contained countless invaluable experiences on the path to the absolute pinnacle (the experiences of successive inheritors, along with innumerable precious data they had collected).

There was a space specialized for trial combat—a small virtual reality domain containing 282 distinct opponents, including past incarnations of Duan Donghe. Consciousness could enter this virtual space to engage them; these virtual adversaries could unleash the full might of the original super-beings, with the Third Ancestor Master naturally being the most formidable opponent.

There was a location specifically for devising secret techniques...

There was a place dedicated to forging one's personal weapons...

There was an area for quiet, isolated cultivation...

There was a domain specifically for...

In short, the entire Inheritance Space was a place perfected through the constant contributions of generation after generation of inheritors, designed solely for forging supreme powerhouses.

"This is... too extravagant," Luo Feng blinked.

Before receiving the inheritance, he had entertained many imaginings, but upon truly engaging with it, he realized his own imagination had been insufficient; he had grossly underestimated the inheritors of Duan Donghe across the ages.

Given this Inheritance Space, which was extravagant to the extreme, failing to become a supreme powerhouse was statistically the least likely outcome; only the duration required remained uncertain.

Moreover, given the strict demands Duan Donghe's lineage placed on selecting an inheritor, any candidate chosen was guaranteed to possess top-tier talent, perseverance, and aptitude—they would have achieved much even without this inheritance. But with the aid of this Inheritance Space, it was akin to giving wings to a tiger, ensuring they could ascend even higher.

"In the Sea of Universe, some inheritances fought over until blood runs cold, like the so-called Joint Strike Method of the God Eye Clan... these are merely a tiny segment of one obscure branch within the Ancient Civilization."

"Regarding the countless peripheral details—even soul attacks, illusions, the refinement of myriad treasures, the creation and control of machinery... it is simply an incalculable wealth..."

Luo Feng marveled.

He had, in essence, grasped the foundation of a powerful Ancient Civilization! For the Duan Donghe lineage, the information contained within these billions of Memory Stones was all tangential knowledge, things that could be freely passed on to outsiders by successive Duan Donghes.

"Knowledge is power."

"The experiences of countless powerhouses, the philosophies of countless cultivation streams—these were all forged through the relentless efforts of countless masters. This is the fundamental truth." The first task Luo Feng undertook, as almost every past Duan Donghe had done...

Was to commit every single Memory Stone to memory!

Even if he didn't follow those specific paths, the knowledge might offer tangential insight to aid his own cultivation, or perhaps allow him to understand the strengths and weaknesses of an opponent from that school of thought during actual combat.

"Come forth," Luo Feng waved his hand.

A massive multitude of black pebbles, numbering in the hundreds of millions, instantly hovered in the air before him.

"Categorize and sort." Luo Feng split his divine power into countless streams, simultaneously touching all the Memory Stones, beginning the process of preliminary data contact and classification. He watched as the innumerable stones began to separate into distinct groups.

First, categorization, then memorization.

In the cultivation space where time acceleration reached ten thousand times, Luo Feng spent merely close to fifteen days mastering everything contained within the core inheritance (the actual subjective time spent was several centuries). He then commenced the far more massive undertaking: memorizing the contents of over one hundred million Memory Stones...

The over one hundred million Memory Stones, each holding foundational information, contained significantly less data than the core inheritance.

Yet, it still took him nearly thirty years to completely absorb them all (in reality, thirty epochs).

Only after finishing the absorption did Luo Feng begin the slow, meticulous process of reading and researching—a process that would consume far more time than the mere reception of data. Previously, it was akin to forcibly stuffing countless volumes into his brain; now, he was leisurely turning the pages.

The Tomb Ship remained suspended in the void between the Flame Ice Domain, its hatch sealed.

Occasionally, powerhouses would pass by, casting envious glances, but they quickly moved on, careful not to linger lest they incur the displeasure of the 'Duan Donghe' figure, especially since the Second True Master and the Seventh True Master of the God Eye Clan had been annihilated instantly.

While the major powers of the Sea of Universe were speculating, and most had no idea who the inheritor even was, Luo Feng calmly immersed himself in study. He was absolutely safe within the Inheritance Space, particularly since the space resided inside the Tomb Ship.

Once the Tomb Ship sealed its exterior defenses...

No one in the entire Sea of Universe could force their way in! And any who tried would only be courting death. While the Tomb Ship was incapable of external attacks, its interior had been modified by Duan Donghe and contained several terrifying deterrents; even Universe Masters at the peak would find it a death trap.

As time flowed, Luo Feng gained intimate knowledge regarding breakthroughs across every stage—from Immortal to Universe Venerable, to Universe Master, and even how to advance beyond the level of Universe Master.

Even those existing Universe Masters knew far less than Luo Feng now did.

This was because the Ancient Civilization had analyzed everything with extreme clarity, and in the 'Duan Donghe Lineage Inheritance,' this foundational understanding was contained within the most ordinary, outermost Memory Stones, possessing no strategic value worth concealing.

Although Luo Feng was only a Universe Venerable, he already possessed the qualifications to mentor Universe Masters, and even the qualifications to advise Universe Masters at the peak!

After all, the Universe Masters in the Sea of Universe were all navigating blindly; every advancement they made felt haphazard, as the predecessor experience was too scarce to allow for any systematic research.

In a blink, another 2,600 years had passed since accepting the inheritance within the virtual universe, within the independent plane belonging to the Giant Axe Creator.

"It's been so long since Luo Feng became the inheritor; he sent us one email and hasn't shown himself since," stated Chaos City Master, sitting opposite Giant Axe Creator before the vast, dark starry expanse where the Divine Hall was suspended.

In terms of camaraderie, Chaos and Giant Axe shared a deep bond. Originally, Primal Chaos guided Chaos, and he also guided Giant Axe... Chaos was relatively compliant, remaining under Primal Chaos’s tutelage as the master's first disciple. Giant Axe was different; more untamed and unconventional, often venturing out. Primal Chaos never formally acknowledged a master-disciple relationship with him.

But without question, Chaos and Giant Axe were Primal Chaos's two earliest disciples—one the foremost disciple, the other a disciple in practice, if not by formal title. Giant Axe was like an elder brother... especially after Primal Chaos was suppressed; these two alone sustained the entire Human Race. Over such a long period, their bond naturally deepened, and they often convened to discuss matters.

"Haha, you're truly worried about your precious disciple," Giant Axe laughed heartily.

"I worry about unforeseen complications!" Chaos shook his head. "Who knows what hidden agenda Duan Donghe might have had concerning the Ancient Civilization? Who can say?"

"Then why don't you just contact Luo Feng directly?" Giant Axe countered.

"I fear disturbing his inheritance reception," Chaos frowned slightly.

"Worry about what? Luo Feng has several avatars; surely one avatar could spare a sliver of consciousness to enter the Virtual Universe without disrupting the reception?" Giant Axe scoffed. "If you're worried, I'll contact him!"

Giant Axe was direct, sending an email to Luo Feng forthwith.

Soon after...

A figure materialized silently before the Divine Hall—Luo Feng himself, clad in a simple white robe, as he was accustomed to wearing silver armor, making him naturally lean toward silver and white hues.

"Luo—" Giant Axe Creator began, then suddenly frowned, studying Luo Feng closely.

Chaos, with his finely tuned perception, was also stunned when he saw Luo Feng.

What level were they?

They recognized it immediately... the Luo Feng before them had changed too profoundly. It was a temperament rooted deep within his core. Some people developed a resolute, sharp edge from constant battle; others developed a scholarly air from reading.

Different experiences forged different temperaments, but as Luo Feng absorbed the entire foundation of the Ancient Civilization, his own vision and realm underwent a colossal transformation, vastly surpassing many Universe Masters. He was fully capable of acting as a teacher to those Universe Masters.

"It seems the inheritance was extraordinary," Giant Axe turned to Chaos City Master and remarked, "The moment I saw him, I felt like I was looking at Primal Chaos back then; Primal Chaos also favored wearing white robes."

"He does carry that air," Chaos City Master agreed with a smile.

Luo Feng stepped forward. "Giant Axe Creator, Teacher, please don't tease me."

"We can see that," Giant Axe conceded. "You’ve gained substantially."

"How was it?" Chaos City Master stopped jesting and asked immediately. "How beneficial was this inheritance to our Human Race? Are you confident we can transcend the cycle of reincarnation?" Giant Axe's gaze turned expectant as well.

Luo Feng nodded. "From the Immortal stage all the way to the limit of the Universe Master realm, the entire spectrum of possibility is clear in my mind."

Such bold confidence!

Giant Axe and Chaos City Master exchanged glances, their eyes shining brightly.
