Duan Dong River Space of Inheritance

## Appearance

A vast and spacious individual space where there were endless sounds of waterfalls splashing. One could smell the scent of flowers and hear the sounds of animals within.

## Description

The Duan Dong River Space of Inheritance is a special space located within the Boat of Mausoleum modified by the previous generations of Duan Dong River heirs. Every generation of Duan Dong River heirs, including Duan Dong River Zhen Kan Wu, received their inheritance within this space. The Space of Inheritance was remarkable, almost akin to a Miniature Universe. It was able to absorb energy, including the chaos airflow within Universe Ocean, allowing its space to maintain its stability and allowing the lives within the space to prosper.

### Basic Inheritance Space

To assist in the selection of the next Duan Dong River Inheritor, the Space of Inheritance has 820 entrances, each leading to a different basic inheritance. Each basic inheritance was left behind by one of the previous inheritors, and could be all sorts of different skills, including the major groups of close-ranged combat, long-ranged combat, Arcana refinement, mechanical type, and miscellaneous type. This basic inheritance tests if the candidate is a fit for Duan Dong River.

The entrances radiated golden lights and were suspended in midair, side-by-side. The entrances themselves had patterns on them, reflecting the inheritance within; for example, the 'Blade' entrance had a vague image of a human figure holding a blade and violently killing lifeforms.

Once one entered one of the entrances, they were transported to a chaotic world filled with chaotic airflow. The atmosphere above was pitch-black and a single star hung in the sky, radiating line on everything beneath. The star then shoots out a visible pillar of light that envelops the candidate, after which a cold, mechanical voice speaks, beginning the core competence basic inheritance. Manuals pertaining to the basic inheritance are sent to the mind of the candidate; the first ranked candidate (Luo Feng) received 360 sets of manuals, while candidates who passed the 2nd bottleneck in the initial selection process (such as Deer Bug Master) received 36, and those who only passed the first bottleneck received 0.

After receiving the manuals, depending on the ranking of the candidate, they may see up to 3 mountains of ice, containing law engravings for the specified basic inheritance. The law engravings contain the ultimate power and reveal all of the ultimate secrets. Luo Feng, as the highest ranked candidate, saw 3 mountains of blades, each millions of kilometers tall and clear and transparent like crystal. These mountains were unable to be properly simulated in the Virtual Universe due to their complexity; each mountain contained a large number of meteor-like rays that changed every moment, without a pattern. Venerable Blue Blood, as the 2nd-ranked candidate, saw 2 mountains, while candidates who only passed the first and second bottlenecks in the initial selection process, saw 1.

Once a candidate was chosen, the other candidates within the Space of Inheritance were immediately killed via soul attack, leaving their bodies intact but their souls annihilated.

### Becoming the new Duan Dong River

After a candidate was chosen, they would undergo the process of becoming the new Duan Dong River. The ice mountains disappear, but the owner of the Space of Inheritance (the new Duan Dong River) could retrieve them for study at any point, as they are simply the 820 basic inheritances. After hiding the 820 entrances, the virtual consciousness within the space moved the candidate into the deeper area of the Space of Inheritance.

Within the main area is a mountain, covered by mist. While standing on the summit, one could not see the land below. On the summit is a sculpture of Duan Dong River Jue Yi Saint King, the 3rd generation patriarch of the Duan Dong River line. There is a futon in front of the sculpture, meant for the new inheritor to kneel on to signify their will to inherit. Once done kowtowing, the inheritor is branded with the mark of inheritance, a process painful enough for Luo Feng to call it agonizing. This brand is necessary for the inheritor to be recognized as the master of the Space of Inheritance, which is the only way to receive the true inheritance of Duan Dong River. Until the virtual consciousness disappears, the inheritor cannot become the true master of the space. After having the inheritor take an oath to not allow the core inheritance to fall into the hands of outsiders, with the consequence of breaking the oath being death, the inheritor receives guidance on the most important information and treasures.

### Core Inheritance

After passing through a series of doors in the void space beyond, the inheritor arrives at an area with a boundless ocean, with an island in the middle. On the island is an ordinary wooden house, with a curved pond in front. This space is one of the most important of the various spaces within the Space of Inheritance, as it contains the 3 Memory Stones containing the main core inheritance of Duan Dong River, contributed by the Patriarchs of the first three generations and left behind for the inheritors. They are valuable enough to cause a war between the superpowers of the ancient civilization.

Within the curved pond are 12,002 memory stones containing memories related to close-range combat, long-range combat, refining Arcana, mechanical type, various techniques, and various methods of cultivation. They all also belong to the core inheritance. These can be considered the pride of generations of heirs, and each one is more than enough to set off a war. As part of the core inheritance, they are absolutely not allowed to fall into the hands of outsiders.

Within the large ocean are hundreds of millions of memory stones, left behind by the great beings of the Duan Dong River line. Those stones contained all kinds of information, including at least 90% of the basic skills of the ancient civilization. They are similar to the 820 basic inheritances, but a much larger volume. Once the inheritor has received the content of the 3 root Memory Stones, they can be considered as having received the core inheritance of Duan Dong River.

The three main core inheritance are:

* Duan Mie
* Dong Hua
* Undying River

### Master of the Space of Inheritance

After receiving additional information from the virtual consciousness, the inheritor is brought to another of the most important spaces within the Space of Inheritance, a space where time is accelerated, where time can be accelerated to 10,000 times. It is a dark space that seems surrounded by endless darkness, but the actual space of time acceleration is the piece of land that is a little over 10 kilometers in diameter. The virtual consciousness stated that as the inheritor's godly power increases further, they would be able to accelerate time to an even greater degree. After providing the final memory stone containing everything the virtual consciousness wants the inheritor to know, as well as every secret of the Space of Inheritance, the virtual consciousness disappears, making the inheritor the new master of the Space of Inheritance. After Luo Feng officially became the 193rd heir of Duan Dong River, he reshaped the land within the space of time acceleration, turning the land into a meadow.

The Space of Inheritance is similar to a Miniature Universe divided into many individual spaces. Almost 95% of the Space of Inheritance is filled with the achievements of the Patriarchs of the first 3 generations, with the remaining 5% or so being the functions added by the other generations of heirs. The Space of Inheritance is an extremely luxurious place for a great being to cultivate, containing the memory stone location (serving as essentially a super library), a combat training virtual space containing 282 opponents, including the previous heirs of Duan Dong River, a space specifically for creating secret techniques, a space specifically for cultivating one's weapons, a space specially for meditation, and numerous other spaces. It could be considered the epitome of perfection, a space where a great being would eventually become a super great being. It took Luo Feng close to 30 eras to finish accepting the knowledge from the millions of memory stones within the super library.

#### Treasure Space

Within the Space of Inheritance was also a space containing a mountain of 322 treasures, accumulated by the previous heirs of Duan Dong River. The new Duan Dong River heir is allowed to choose one, and only one, and must return it while still alive. Some of the more powerful heirs returned more than 1, as a way to contribute to the Duan Dong River line. These treasures were all Meta-Embryos. The mountain was built by the Patriarchs of the first 3 generations, and contained restrictions that prevented those who were not heirs from taking one.

### Use of the Space of Inheritance

Luo Feng allowed the Human Race to cultivate using the basic inheritance of Duan Dong River, which meant he had to bring the Boat of Mausoleum to Primal Chaos City. He also left his godly power avatar within the time acceleration space to study the creations of his Remote Ocean body, hoping to improve his Life Gene Level. He spent 8 million years (so 8 million eras) within the Space of Inheritance training against the previous heirs of Duan Dong River, including the Patriarchs of the first 3 generations, and created multiple techniques, including Light of Water and Fire and Flowing Gold. He also sharpened his Willpower, reaching the level of a True God of Void Space while still a Universe Master. If Luo Feng self-destructed while within the World of Jin, he would have lost the Blood Shadow Blade and the Boat of Mausoleum, and while no one else would have been able to enter the space of inheritance, Luo Feng's original body would also have no chance of entering, so only his energy body would remain within the space, which was separated from the outside world.
