Despite his severe injuries, his eyes shone with a bright glow. He was happy.

His comprehension in the Path of Blood had risen, and he had also acquired a defensive extreme technique created by the Spectral Venerable and refined by Clarke, thus improving greatly.

The excitement increased for Clarke when Mao Hua said:

• "I was waiting for this good moment to tell you: As you know, your dream world was invaded because you obtained half of the great inheritance of the Demon Venerable of the Time Scroll."

•"That in itself is a benefit, but as you know, if you lay your hand on something important, you must be strong!!!"

•"And you succeeded in repelling them, but the dangerous thing is that they intend to send down some cultivators to steal the inheritance of one of the Immortal cultivators."

•"The ones whose caves containing their legacies fell with the fall of the Spectral King, and those caves contained a method to destroy the Chasm of Destiny!"

•"Meaning they want it before you and before the Spectral Venerable!!!"

Clarke was actually surprised and felt the great advantage he would gain.

But that benefit was just a trap! He didn't know if they might send powerful and terrifying cultivators.

Clarke had experienced the strength of the two sent to kill him and steal the Cicada and the Mantis, but Clarke succeeded in repelling them even though that was with the help of luck, but he wouldn't take risks without getting some information???

• "Well, Mao Hua, I want to know: Will they send some Immortals? Or worse: fake Venerables to obtain such inheritances?!!"

• "No, doing such a thing would just be throwing the elite of the elite and sending huge numbers to die at the hands of the Spectral Venerable."

•"So they will probably send some cultivators at the Soul Integration stage, led by a cultivator at the Origin Return stage."

Clarke was shocked and said:

•"Are you crazy? Do you want to lead me to my death?"

•"Also, you know I don't want to attract Tai Fei to me, I want to keep him away from such matters, or better to say about him: a trump card, an important pawn, but distant."

•"Aside from the extreme techniques they might find, what makes them pursue the inheritances?"

Mao Hua yelled at Clarke:

•"You foolish mortal! The Immortal world is difficult even for Immortal cultivators."

•"For after you possess an Immortal consciousness, each Immortal consciousness is characterized by something: rapid time flow and toxic calamities through Heavenly Tribulations."

•"We are bound by a short lifespan. Methods existed to prolong life, like single-use extreme techniques to increase lifespan, called 'Heaven's Blessings'."

•"They are extremely rare and exist infrequently like these things, and cannot even be refined."

•"The fear of the Immortal cultivator is lifespan, then the Heavenly Tribulations."

•"Secondly: Farming and resources."

•"For each Immortal consciousness is characterized by its owner's cultivation path. If his cultivation path is Blood refinement, his Immortal consciousness environment is suitable for blood beasts and bloody agricultural resources due to the Dao Marks specific to this path."

•"And this example applies to several paths."

•"And only the Venerables managed to plant Dao Marks in their bodies to increase their strength."

•"As you know, you need a high economy and also high strength, for Heavenly Tribulations strike your Immortal consciousness and might destroy half of your economy, or worse, kill you!!!"

•"Many tried either to hide them or transfer them to someone else."

•"But in a world permeated by greed, what if you are stolen from by someone you trust?"

•"So you must prepare yourself in all aspects to run, for to become an Immortal cultivator, they try to build a foundation for themselves, advancing suicidally to become Immortal cultivators."

Clarke expected such a matter, for in the end, the economy is important.

If you possess something, you must be strong to protect it, that's true.

For humanity is cruel and merciless, it will steal from you and curse you.

But what is important?

From Clarke's perspective:

•"I don't care about curses, I will advance in my path. I won't say it's because I'm successful and people curse me for my success."

•"No, I am a demon, I will steal and plunder, I won't care who curses me or gets angry at me. He who gets angry over curses and invectives is just a fool who is pleased by a word and angered by a word."

•"That is only for the weak-minded! I am not cowardly, but the world is big and vast, and how easy it is to be crushed!"

•"I'd rather be dog feces than be crushed like an ant!"

•"After all, who wants to crush dog feces? Hahahahaha!"

Clarke's thoughts were ominous. Mao Hua sighed inside Clarke's mind, angry that she could hear his thoughts.

But Clarke felt something strange! His field of vision had expanded!

And his deduction improved! Even though he was in an isolated place, he could sense people outside and their cultivation ranks, even the very high ones among them!

Also, the flow of thoughts improved amazingly!

Clarke asked Mao Hua:

•"Why have I become like this? My comprehension in a specific path has risen!!!"

Mao Hua replied:

•"Yes, specifically in the Path of Stars!"

•"It seems your experience in the Path of Dreams, the numerous deaths, and your deep immersion in your mind have raised your level tremendously and miraculously."

•"For the Path of Stars focused on sharp observation, flow of thoughts, and deduction."

Clarke was shocked! Deduction was like an enhancing ability for your senses and mind, and closer to prediction too.

Clarke laughed!

His comprehension in the Path of Cultivation became half-step to reaching Advanced.

But in the Path of Darkness, Clarke became a Lord.

In the Path of Blood, he became only Advanced.

In the Path of Theft, his comprehension was Lord comprehension.

Also, the first extreme techniques in his art were completed with the existence of the Cicada.

The Path of Qi was quasi-empty. It seemed the concept of Qi was different from mortals; Clarke didn't understand how to develop it.

The Path of Soul was quasi-empty.

In the Path of Stars, Clarke shockingly became: Master!

And finally, in the Path of Dreams, he also became Master!!!

Clarke was shocked, laughing:

•"Oh my! What are these spoils I gained from the dream world?!"

•"I truly have a solid foundation, but I'm still a frog at the bottom of a well!"

•"Truly! But I will do something."

Clarke continued for days; his understanding of the Path of Stars was good, and he felt these days were days of happiness; his understanding was very good.

He managed to create an extreme technique of the deduction type. And of course, he went to Tai Fei to request funding, who threw the resources to him.

That extreme technique became known through Mao Hua: "Authority of the Stars".

It granted him high and good deduction, and wasn't difficult to refine; he failed only thirty times, but with the blood style, the refinement was easy.

The extreme technique in the field of refinement helped Clarke, and also granted Clarke something good: good sensory range, high guessing ability, and high authority over his will and mind.

Thus, he successfully isolated his thoughts from Mao Hua!

Clarke left the isolation room; he was completely ready for everything.

In front of him, Ma Chengsu was waiting for Clarke, for Clarke had requested a companion be prepared for him.

Clarke's deduction abilities rose! Once he goes to the place Hua Yin told him about (the strange glow in the sky), he will find the inheritance and the invaders.

His plan was tight: Obtain the benefits, avoid the strong as much as possible!!!

They headed through the Southern Forest: Forest of the Three Tyrants.

It was said that in ancient times, three great tyrants existed; some said they became Immortals and left the mortal shell, and some said they died and their inheritances didn't exist.

Of course, Clarke learned about that story from Mao Hua; the tyrants fell here after being in the Immortal world.

And strangely, the entire forest fell on the mortal earth!

The matter was confusing and hard for Clarke to deduce.

For such methods are only understood by those of the Path of Space.

Clarke thought that Jin could refine them.

Clarke could fly higher using the Heavenly Fist, but he preferred to walk through the forests with Ma Chengsu instead of revealing themselves in a stupid way.

Also, Clarke, thanks to his depth in the Path of Stars, could hide his presence; sacrificing this old man was a good idea for Clarke.

But soon he felt a strong presence of five cultivators!

Six of them were at the Void Manifestation stage!

And four at the Soul Integration stage!

One of them had an aura familiar to Clarke in a terrifying way!

Song Baijun! Even though they were in the dream world, he wouldn't forget that bastard's aura! An intensely powerful aura.

But Clarke focused on the last one; he was at the stage of Soul and Body Integration, and his aura was overwhelmingly intense!

A powerful aura leaked! It wasn't from the cultivators; rather, the inheritance had opened!

Everyone began to drool!!!

Soon, Clarke reduced his speed of advance, for after all, they were only two men, and he shouldn't charge like a fool.

He must study his opponents too.

He didn't want to be exposed by their deduction movements; if they learned about him, it would be easy to discover him.

Just as he discovered them! In truth, that was due to his high comprehension in the Path of Stars; otherwise, he would have fallen like a fool, and then of course they would kill him like sheep!

A hundred kilometers away from Clarke:

The team of cultivators had entered the strange cave...
