The day after Li Jiayu left, just as dawn broke, Honda, who was cultivating in his room, sensed an unusual energy fluctuation descending from the sky. Since there was no hostility, Honda paid it no mind.
"Hmm! This is..." Honda, who had already reached the eighth level of Jade Purity, suddenly noticed three spherical objects falling from the sky, crackling with electricity, like sparkling diamonds. Because! The spheres had no solid form. So Honda didn't need to bother repairing the roof anymore. Just as the spheres were about to fly into Honda's head, the now vigilant Honda caught them all in his hand.
"What is this?! Could it be a ghost?" Honda carefully examined the three spheres in his hand, recalling the plot in his mind. He realized that this was... a key symbol of the supernatural magic era—ghosts and spirits. The three in Honda's hand were all ghosts of extremely high grade, but he didn't know what kind of inheritance they contained! It seemed that he would only know after using them.
Thinking of this, Honda didn't immediately begin the fusion. He remembered from the Dark End storyline that the inheritance of spirits wasn't a simple matter. If one was unlucky, the spirit might be possessed by a succubus who could cause one to become wanton and unrestrained! Yes, this wasn't inheritance; it was simply possessing someone else's body. Just thinking about it sent chills down Honda's spine! Truly, this was the Dark End world; even things like this existed. Being possessed by such a thing was unimaginable! Although he felt a bit uneasy, Honda wasn't afraid of these things. As a god-king in his true form, anything evil, anything with even a modicum of consciousness, couldn't survive within his body!
Shaking his head, Honda decided to merge! Honda's luck stat wasn't bad either, so he believed his luck wouldn't be that bad.
Releasing his control, the three ghostly spirits instantly entered Honda's mind. Countless wondrous and incomprehensible pieces of knowledge began to slowly merge into Honda's body.
"Crack!" A shackle on his body seemed to break, releasing countless streams of celestial energy. This energy surged into Honda's body, merging with the Taiqing spiritual power and Buddhist power he had previously cultivated. Honda's body began to undergo transformation, and his already beautiful and delicate face became even more alluring. This was all thanks to the bloodline of the Female Vine Queen. Unconsciously, the Goddess of Light had fused Honda with the liquid body of the Female Vine, which should have been destroyed. Therefore, Honda now possessed the bloodline of the Female Vine Queen within his body, though it hadn't fully awakened yet. Those who have read The End of Darkness should know what this is! The Female Vine is a special race, completely devoid of males. Moreover, as their cultivation grows, their appearance becomes even more perfect.
In the original story, the octopus, following the will of the Goddess of Light, fused the crystallization of the Vine Queen with Li Jiayu. This can be considered part of Li Jiayu's gender transformation; now the Vine Queen's bloodline has gained another member. It's unclear what the Goddess of Light is plotting.
Because of the octopus's past record, Honda had set up a very thick protective barrier in his room, twenty-five layers in total! Even knowing that the octopus and Li Jiayu had left, Honda didn't let his guard down, because this preparation allowed him to confidently advance his class!
The ninth and tenth levels of Jade Purity. Great Perfection!
The first level of Shangqing, the second level of Shangqing, the third level of Shangqing... Great Perfection!
The first level of Taiqing, the second level of Taiqing, and the peak of the tenth level of Taiqing!
The peak of the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth levels of the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra.
The peak of the first, second, and third levels of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique!
........
"Phew~" To have cultivated the Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao to this level in less than a day—if Zhang Xiaofan and the others knew, they'd probably choke on a block of tofu! But there's nothing that can be done; the timing is just too perfect. It's entirely related to one of Honda's three inheritances!
A crack appeared on Honda's forehead, revealing an eye containing powerful lightning (attribute) and metal (attribute) divine power!
That's right! You read that correctly. This time, Honda's inheritance includes a great figure—the three-eyed man known as the 'True Lord of the Pure Source Mystic Path,' Erlang Shen, Yang Jian. He cultivates a genuine immortal cultivation method, far surpassing the Taiji Xuanqing Dao! Honda directly transcended the Taiqing Realm, his spiritual power instantly transforming into immortal power! Moreover, for some unknown reason, the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra and Erlang Shen's Nine Revolutions Profound Technique complemented each other, making Honda's breakthroughs unstoppable!
But even in this moment of joy, Honda wasn't truly happy! She discovered that her current state was extremely unstable. It seemed she had no choice but to temporarily seal away most of her power; otherwise, she risked regressing. Moreover, this power, which she couldn't fully control, would not only harm others but also Honda's own body! This was something Zeus didn't want to see.
"Now I can show off again," Honda thought to himself as he placed the seal within his body. But thinking about it was actually quite satisfying—playing dumb to fool others. Anyone who's watched One-Punch Man knows what it feels like to knock someone out with a single punch while they're just talking trash!
"Do you think I've got some skills now?" After resolving his physical issues, Honda summoned Erlang Shen's signature weapon from the void. Xiaotian... cough cough! Scratch that, the 'Three-Pointed Double-Edged' halberd. Then! He took out his own signature weapon, the 'Dragonfly Cutter'. Comparing the two, he found it incredibly awkward! One was a neon weapon from an anime, the other a divine artifact from Eastern mythology. The styles were completely different, creating an inexplicable sense of incongruity!
"Hmm! What's this?" Just as Honda was examining the two guns, 'Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword' transmitted a message to him. It needed to merge with 'Dragonfly Cutter' to break the seal on its body! Furthermore, after merging, their combined abilities would become one, making them even stronger!
Honda glanced at the 'Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear', nodded, and made a cut on his hand. He splattered the blood, which hadn't yet spurted out, onto the two 'spears,' and they began to merge, becoming two orbs of light. Then! They merged together!
"How long will it take?" Honda asked the spirit of the 'Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword' with curiosity.
"It will take! One month." The spirit answered and then fell silent. Honda breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness it wasn't two years! Otherwise, they'd be almost at the finale, and the weapon still wouldn't be ready! What kind of situation was this?
However, the other two inheritances are also good, one of which is the Dragon Knight's inheritance. But damn it, where's my dragon?
Honda, who was thinking about dragons, was suddenly startled by a gaze.
"Is this my dragon? Ahhhhhh!" Honda's expression was like a scream as he saw something staring at him.
