The Myriad Beast Mountain Range was not too far from Lin Hua Continent.
Cross the Desolate Desert to the west of Lin Hua Continent, and you would reach the Myriad Beast Mountain Range.
Although the journey wasn’t long, the Desolate Desert was fraught with danger. Without the power of a Saint-level Overlord, it was absolutely impossible to cross. And the Myriad Beast Mountain Range was an even more dangerous place than the Desolate Desert.
As its name suggested, the Myriad Beast Mountain Range was overrun with exotic beasts. The number of fifth-tier exotic beasts was likely more than you could count on two hands. There were even rumors that a sixth-tier Beast King presided over its central region.
Even when considering the entire Blue Star, the Myriad Beast Mountain Range ranked among the most treacherous places.
The fact that Mu Wang, with his Saint-level Overlord strength, had traveled to and from the Myriad Beast Mountain Range twice unharmed could only be attributed to good luck.
Of course, Mu Wang was, after all, a Nian Race Divine Spirit who had taken over a body, so his methods and strength couldn’t be judged by the standards of an ordinary overlord.
Meanwhile, the inheritance site discovered by Lin Hua’s Legend back then was a world away from the Myriad Beast Mountain Range, located far to the north in the Frost Descent Forest Sea.
’Could it be that there’s more than one inheritance site?’
Su Ze’s mind raced. Mu Wang had obtained a puzzle piece from an external inheritance in the Myriad Beast Mountain Range, and Lin Hua’s Legend had obtained one from an external inheritance in the Frost Descent Forest Sea. Since there were four pieces in total, did that mean there were four inheritance sites?
’And for each inheritance site, only the first person to pass the external inheritance trial receives a puzzle piece?’
Su Ze could understand there being four external inheritances, but could there also be four internal ones?
’But that doesn’t make any sense.’
Each puzzle piece corresponded to an Inheritance Treasure Vault, and when Mu Wang entered the internal inheritance site, he had already seen that one of the vaults had been opened.
’It couldn’t be that someone got a puzzle piece from an external inheritance elsewhere, then ran all the way to the inheritance site in the Myriad Beast Mountain Range to open a vault, could it?’
Trapped within the Soul Nourishing Jade Stone, Mu Wang couldn’t see Su Ze’s expression. But seeing Su Ze fall silent for a long moment after his initial surprise, he couldn’t help but ask, "Is there a problem with the inheritance site being in the Myriad Beast Mountain Range?"
Considering Mu Wang’s vast knowledge, Su Ze shared his confusion with him.
Mu Wang pondered for a moment before saying, "That’s not hard to understand. It’s possible your guess is correct—there are indeed four inheritance sites, but they are all external inheritances."
"The four external inheritance sites all serve as entrances leading to the same internal inheritance site. That would explain everything."
"It can work like that?" Su Ze asked in surprise.
After all, the Myriad Beast Mountain Range and the Frost Descent Forest Sea were separated by nearly half the planet!
’What kind of power could make two entrances so far apart lead to the same place?’
"The methods of high-level life forms are beyond your imagination. It’s very likely the internal inheritance site isn’t located anywhere on Blue Star at all, but is a separate space. The four inheritance sites all act as entrances to a single Inheritance Space... No wonder I felt a disorienting sense of spacetime distortion the moment I entered the internal inheritance."
Su Ze had a sudden realization. Mu Wang’s analysis made a certain amount of sense.
If that were true, then to get the treasures in the Inheritance Treasure Vault, he wouldn’t have to make the long journey to the Frost Descent Forest Sea. He could just take a trip to the nearby Myriad Beast Mountain Range and enter the internal inheritance from there.
That was certainly good news.
"Alright, last question. You said before that without a god-level extract, one must rely on their own power to ascend to godhood by fusing a divine skill. You mentioned you had a secret to fusing divine skills more easily?"
Mu Wang seemed a bit tongue-tied. "It’s not really a secret, more like a common trick known throughout the universe. If you want to create your own divine skill, the key is fusion. Therefore, you can absorb more skills suitable for fusion in advance."
"For example, absorb more Domain Skills. This type of skill is among the easiest to fuse. As long as the effects of multiple Domain Skills don’t conflict with each other, there’s a chance they can be fused. If they are also related, such as sharing the same attribute or complementing each other, they’ll merge even more easily."
"Stacking several Domain Skills together is a fool-proof method. It lets you fuse a divine skill with relative ease—it’s a shortcut, really."
’So that’s how it is...’ Su Ze didn’t mind that Mu Wang had tried to pass this off as a huge secret. Even if it was a common trick in the universe, at least he hadn’t known it, and it was genuinely useful to him.
"Domain Skills, huh?"
Su Ze thought for a moment. He didn’t have many Domain Skills. The only one that truly counted as a Domain Skill was his "Gravity Domain."
However, "Eye of Truth" could be considered a semi-Domain Skill, and its future upgrades and evolutions could be steered in that direction.
And "Furious Waves" also had some characteristics of a Domain Skill, such as its effect of revealing all targets within its range. It, too, showed potential for developing into one.
All in all, trying to fuse these three as Domain Skills was still a bit of a stretch.
But this also opened up a new line of thought for Su Ze. He didn’t necessarily have to follow the most common path of fusing Domain Skills.
He himself possessed a skill with super-high compatibility: "Strongest Punch."
’Perhaps I can try using ’Strongest Punch’ as a base and continuously fuse other skills into it. That would also be a fool-proof method, but I don’t know if it will be as simple in practice as I imagine.’
Of course, the actual practice and implementation would have to wait until after Su Ze completed his sixth evolution.
Having asked all his questions, he casually tossed the small, ink-black vial of "Night of Falling Dreams" to Mu Wang as a reward.
This material was, in fact, "Soul Poison"—a poison that specifically targeted souls and Consciousness Bodies.
