Chapter 1359 The Heavenly Lotus Seed
"But I've never heard that the Law of Universe is divided into two parts, so I'm not sure if this holds water. After all, they are not like Master Adrian. Only a spiritual potentate like him can have the heart with both positive and negative traits,"
mumbled the Dragon Intent Grass a little worriedly.
"Don't worry. Those two made it this far because they are special in their own right. They probably have their own thoughts on this based on their extensive experiences," Ricky reassured it. "Besides, they might have accepted Master Adrian's inheritance, but I doubt that they will dedicate their lives to chasing him when there are other good opportunities out there.
I think they will explore their own roads in the martial world.
However, those two must grow closer than brothers and learn to communicate well with each other. Or else they won't be able to cultivate the positive and negative Law of Universe together."
"That would be pretty hard to accomplish," remarked the Dragon Intent Grass doubtfully.
"I don't have a heart like Master Adrian's, so I can't take both inheritances. That's where you come in. I will choose one, and you will receive the remaining one because you alone are qualified for it besides me. How does that sound?"
Jasper suggested.
"That sounds great! Thank you, Jasper!" replied Mike at once. He flashed an enthusiastic smile at the other man and slightly inclined his head in an appreciative bow.
He didn't feel the need to refuse since he wanted the inheritance with all his heart. It would just be hypocrisy if he pretended not to want it.
"It seems like fate has intended for us to fight alongside each other someday. Only then will we fully understand each other's mind and maximize the power of the Law of Universe together," declared Jasper.
"For now, let us set aside the battle of life and death and focus on the cultivation that fate has set before us. After all, we don't want to die before we can comprehend the Law of Universe."
"I agree. We can duel to death once later. But, for the time being, I am willing to trust you with my life, Jasper,"
Mike responded seriously upon hearing Jasper's words.
"Perhaps, it is required of the master of the Eight Diagrams to have a heart of tolerance," Ricky surmised as he thought about Jasper and Mike's condition.
"Many people are vying to be the master of the Eight Diagrams, but I hope that one of them would make it to the top. In that way, the continent will have another powerful warrior in their arsenal once the devils invade in the future," the Dragon Intent Grass candidly confessed.
"I wonder... Does the era make the heroes, or do the heroes define the era?" Ricky asked lightly, sounding thoughtful and profound.
After that, Jasper and Mike obtained the positive and negative Law of Universe, respectively.
"Ricky, you've saved my life, time and again, and you are like a brother to me. I feel like there's no need for much formality or any lengthy proclamation of gratitude between us. Just—thank you, brother,"
Jasper told Ricky, keeping his words short but heartfelt.
"Ha-ha, just a thank you? I thought you'll give me an inheritance of the Law of Universe as well,"
replied Ricky teasingly.
"Ha-ha! You already have too many opportunities. You don't need the Law of Universe!"
Jasper laughed.
"Fine, fine!" Ricky shrugged casually, laughing along with Jasper.
"Don't be jealous; I have a gift for you too," added Jasper suddenly.
"Oh? What is it?" Ricky asked curiously.
"This is from Master Adrian too. He left it for his inheritors. But I want to give it to you instead, because I don't want you to leave this land empty-handed," Jasper explained and then looked at Mike inquiringly.
"Mike, is this okay with you? We need to decide this together too,"
he asked.
"Of course! I think Ricky is the perfect person to receive this."
Mike nodded with a smile.
As soon as he received the other man's confirmation, Jasper made an array with his hands, and a small array space emerged in front of them. It seemed that Mike and Jasper had gained control of this space at the same time they acquired the inheritance.
Eight strange seeds, the size of a warrior's head, sat innocently in the small array space. When he saw this, Ricky's interest immediately sky-rocketed.
He couldn't feel any energy on the seeds, but that made sense since it was still inside the array space's protection.
"What are these?" he curiously asked.
"This is actually a rare and priceless treasure—the Heavenly Lotus Seed," answered Jasper.
"Heavenly Lotus Seed!" When they heard Jasper's words, both the Dragon Intent Grass and the Evil Mandragora in the Divine Manor let out a startled cry. It seemed that they had recognized the name, and they couldn't believe what they had heard.
"That's the Heavenly Lotus Seed?!" Ricky also repeated in disbelief.
Of course, he also knew about the Heavenly Lotus Seed. How could he not? It was a great treasure known to all the creatures in the four continents, and even the Devil Land creatures could recognize its name.
It was so closely related to the heavenly law that it could be considered the seed of the heavenly law.
In fact, the birth of the Heavenly Lotus Seed itself could be regarded as a miracle, as several exceedingly difficult conditions must be met before it could come into being.
The purest heavenly power had to be condensed, merged, and tempered for several eras in a place brimming with the essence and power of heaven and earth. And only by absorbing an abundance of luck could a Heavenly Lotus Seed be formed.
With its seed, any creature could become a powerful master at the peak of the Sage Level regardless of his talent. Even the most worthless warrior had the chance to break through to the Potentate Level if he swallowed a Heavenly Lotus Seed.
Of course, in the hands of a talented warrior, it was indeed invaluable. A genius could reach the peak of the Sage Level in just a few years or even less time with its aid.
Such an amazing treasure deserved to be considered the seed of the heavenly law.
However, this amazing treasure also had its flaw. Specifically, the problem came when the Heavenly Lotus Seed's power was exhausted. The warrior who used it could not break through further, even with the help of the real heavenly law.
This wasn't technically a weakness because the Heavenly Lotus Seed could help creatures that used it to reach the preliminary stage of Sage Level, at the very least.
"So, Ricky, what do you think? Do you like it?" Jasper asked with a cheeky grin. "These eight Heavenly Lotus Seeds are on the same plane as eight warriors at the Sage Level." Ricky could only look at Jasper with a disbelieving expression.
"This is awesome, but it's a little too much," he hesitantly confessed.
"I feel bad just accepting them from you without fighting for them or anything. It's too valuable."
"Ha-ha, that's life, man! Sometimes, you can't avoid feeling embarrassed," Jasper said lightly, hoping that his words could comfort Ricky.
"But you'd better take them. You have so many enemies after you, and you'll probably garner more as you go forward in your life. You need strong warriors to help you, so you need these eight Heavenly Lotus Seeds more than me.
Of course, you can also count on me to help you when that time comes."
Since the two of them knew each other for a long time now, Jasper knew Ricky better.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Okay, Jasper, I'll take them. There's no use saying no. It will be exceedingly helpful, after all," Ricky finally agreed after Jasper's insistence. He then accepted the seeds and put them inside his Massacring Zone.
"Boy, if you want to succeed, you must find eight warriors who are loyal to you, and you can give them the eight seeds. Otherwise, it will be very hard for you to rise to the top," the Dragon Intent Grass advised Ricky.
"You are right. Don't worry, I'll get right on that." Ricky nodded. "Now, I'll send my Shadowy Replication back to the Eastern Land and ask Scar to bring some people here."
With everything settled and the inheritances finally in their hands, the three men exited the place and joined Mordechai and others.
Then, they continued their hunt for the devils.
By this time, the number of devils in the Passage World must have increased. It made sense because the creatures of the continent wanted to kill the devils, while the devils, in turn, also wanted to eliminate all the creatures of the continent.
Meanwhile, before they had left the land of legacy, Jasper made sure to take the space where they found Adrian's inheritance with him. After all, it was like Adrian's tomb. He felt that he needed to return it to the continent as a tribute for Adrian.
