Chapter 89: Gaining the inheritance

Long Tao was currently comprehending the art in Infront of him. The art was something left behind for the disciple to take as a test. Long Tao was quite shocked after knowing this. He didn't expect someone with Heaven Cleaver Sect's capability would have such an easy test for the disciple. But he did it anyway. Long Tao had the art in his mind soon enough. The art was called "The Heaven's canyon". But what astonished Long Tao was that he didn't understand anything except the name itself. The art was a bizarre set of Qi rotations rule and then all it had was theories. Long Ta didn't concentrate on the theory but rather concentrated on the QI rotations first. When he began to practice the Qi rotations, Long Tao didn't grasp anything at first, but then something in his thought process changed.

He used the Qi rotations multiple times, exactly like the artist mentioned and it backfired. Long Tao spilled a lot of blood, but he didn't give up. After an extremely painful et of repetitions, Long Tao managed to grasp something. Those sets of Qi rotations weren't random at all. Each Qi rotation gave rise to a different alternation to the Qi. The first alternation was Speed of Qi regulation. The second alternation increased the Qi volume rotating. The third alternation changed the density and concentration of the Qi rotating. The fourth one changed Qi quality. The fifth changed the Qi output. The sixth one changed the efficiency of the Qi expenditure. Six types of alternation, each giving out a different behavior. Long Tao continued his research and was finally able to find some alternations by himself. Long Tao then looked at the theories. The theories were in relation to the alternations.

They were essentially a way to combine the attack art with the alternations to get the modified results. This art was miraculous, but Long Tao had a gut feeling that this set that he managed to obtain was not complete. He continued the practice with the theories, but the output boost to power and efficiency of attacks were promoted to a good extent. But according to the stele, the Heaven Canyon was art, and nothing that he learned felt like a complete portion of the art. It meant that the stele presents here didn't contain the whole art, but just the beginning of it. Long Tao continued the practice and soon enough the end of the three-day deadline was reached. "The three-day limit given to the participant is over as of now, you will proceed to the testing part. A door opened in front of Long Tao. Long Tao went into the zone and appeared in a colosseum with an arena in the middle. He walked forward and climbed up the arena.

A shadow figure generated in front of Long Tao. "There are three opponents whom you need to defeat to pass the test. I am the first one. ". It was a common man like figure who carried a sword with himself. The fight started. The sword art used was something Long Tao had never seen before. HE used his own sword art and a series of collisions of metal rang around the arena. The fight soon escalated to a new level when both of them started using their sword manifests. The opponent had a similar type of sword manifest as of Long Tao. The fight continued and finally, Long Tao saw a variation. The opponent was using the same alternations of QI rotation, as in the scripture but he was using them one by one. Long Tao didn't need to use the art as he had another secret, his body cultivation. He utilized his meridian strengths. And as he reached the final usage of meridians, the opponent was defeated. The opponent stood there for some time.

"This wasn't the Heaven Canyon art.". Long Tao smiled" I don't remember being instructed that I need to use Heaven's canyon to defeat you.". The opponent had no comeback for this. He too gave out a laugh, and vanished from the arena." You have an incense stick time to replenish your Qi, we will start after that. The second opponent appeared after an incense stick time. It was a man, with a well-built clad in body protections, just like mercenary use. Before Long Tao took the stance of the fight he suggested" I suggest you use the art against me, your body cultivation won't help you get through this.". The man grabbed his sword sheath. As soon as the blade left his scabbard, the atmosphere changed. The sword aura that came out of it was dangerous. The attack started and Long Tao still tried to use the same procedure, but he soon came to a realisation. Even after using the body cultivation, he could barely match up with this guy. He needed to use other powers. Long Tao decided to use the alternation theories of the Heaven Canyon. The Fight continued and the interesting part was that the figure started to use Heaven Canyon more efficiently.

Finally, Long Tao had to use all the alternations at the same time to defeat the figure. He barely managed to pass the second part." You have two incense stick worth of time. The next teste would begin after that. This would be the final test. Qualify through it and you will formally be the master of this house. Long Tao used up all his capabilities to soak as much power as possible from the avatars and the surrounding QI. He took all his stats to the max. level. Finally, he was ready to face the opponents. But he was extremely nervous. He used up all his understanding in the previous fight. He nearly used all his power and was just barely able to beat the opponent. This time his opponent would be someone who was more powerful than the last. He didn't know how he will cope up with the attacks of that opponent.

The time of rest ended and Long Tao stood up, prepared to fight. A figure appeared. Long Tao was feeling this scared for the first time. The figure in front of him was a man clad in pure armor, with an incredible sword hanging at its back. Long Tao felt danger just by looking at the figure. The voice came up again, this time from the knight in front." You just need to take a single strike from my sword to pass the test. Remain alive after the sword attack and you are the future master of this palace. Prepare yourself for inbound. Long Tao used all his abilities. He prepared his body cultivation, his Qi rotations according to Heaven's canyon for boosting his QI, and then used up all his physical strength and his sword manifest. But when the strike fell down, his hairs stood up in shiver. The atmosphere gave a single feel of death. Long Ta felt that this strike would take his life for sure. But then he used his berserk art, but still wasn't able to take on the sword swing. It started to cut through his sword slowly.

In the last moments of near-death, Long Tao finally remembered one art that he had still not used, The demonification art. He instantly started chanting the mantra and released the demonic power of his blo9od line. Long Tao could feel his body shape changing, growing, and becoming more demonic. Finally, he lost consciousness of it all. When he woke up, he was not able to move. This was the weakest moment of Long Tao's entire life. He didn't feel this weak since the days he was bullied. He literally had no power left in his body. But just as he was about to give up on hope, a voice rang up in his ears" Congratulations on passing the trial of core disciple, you are now formally the master of the 10th house of the Heaven Cleaver sect. You can now rest for a bit. We will start the induction program as soon as you heal up." Long Tao finally let out a sigh of relief and closed his eyes to rest for a bit. He started to initiate the healing process.

After a long duration of time, Long Tao formally opened his eyes to see a figure sitting on a throne in front of him. He was laying on the floor of the room. He got up and bowed in respect "Junior pays respect to the senior.". The figure looked at him for some time. "You are now formally the owner of the 10th house of the Heaven Clever sect. This house would now be yours, including all the resources and everything within it, belonging to you. You can come to find the main sect, only after you possess the power of a Qi emperor, the basic requirement for entering the main academy. I hope we will get to meet face to face someday inheritor.
