Chapter 3 - Forgery Sage’s Legacy!

Hira’s laughter rang loudly to the whole place. He felt that the old man title is too funny for his age. Hira’s sense of humor is kind of bizarre.

“Argh what are you laughing about kid!? In ancient time, mortals would tremble upon hearing my title! And expert would run away instantly! But you!? Laughing!?” The old man is at loss of what to do with Hira. But his word held the truth, he is a practitioner that has exceed the realm of Hira’s knowledge. Even his voice contain an unforeseeable force, this already prove that he is an unmatched expert!

Hira’s laughter rang out for a while and died after a moment. Then he takes a look at the building in front of him and become curious about this realm. Just how can he be transported into this place? What level of comprehension has the owner of this realm achieved? To be able to create an exclusive realm, the owner surely has surpassed Nirvana realm and ascended to an unknown realm!

“Hey old man, does this realm is yours?” Unable to contain his curiosity anymore, he asked the old man. This realm might belong to him, but Hira still doubt it because the way the old man has act, he seems like he doesn't held any authority in this realm.

“Nope, this realm is created by my best friend, the “Forgery Sage”! He created this realm to find the one who can inherit his legacy!” After Hira change the topic, the old man let out a relief sigh and said it with excited expression.

“I see… then you're saying that I am the inheritor of “Forgery Sage” legacy?” Quite shocked by what the old man said, his face contains an eager expression with a trace of impatient feelings.

You laugh at my title, but not him!? What the difference between our titles!?

“Yeah you're right…. but not all of the benefits in his legacy can be inherited by you. Not in your condition right now. Obviously he doesn't want to give you a shortcut to become strong suddenly. That will just lower your potential and you might just stuck on Median realm.” Irk by Hira, the old man said it with a hint of disdain.

“Just who is this “Forgery Sage”?” This man whom called, “Forgery Sage” should probably be a supreme expert that had already ascended to an unknown realm base on Hira’s knowledge.

“Well, he is my friend, my partner and my…. family. I can't tell you the detail about him right now because with your ability, it will be impossible for you to comprehend. It might even damage your cultivation in the future. ” The old man said to Hira with a hint of disdain.

“But I'm really jealous toward him, just how can he get a top-grade potential human as an inheritor? Even if compared to the other higher realm, you can still be placed in top rank range in term of talent and potential of course.” Continued, the old man expressed his jealousy with a solemn voice. This just shows how jealous he is.

“Aiya, really? Ehehe I'm not that good at all…   Being praised by the old man, Hira said it to him bashfully. Just who in the world would not be happy? Praised by a top expert that is out of Hira’s comprehension! That is like a getting a green light from your lover's parent!

When the old man sees how Hira’s act, he suddenly had this impulse to beat this little rascal.

“Argh…. I shouldn't praise you…Whatever, the benefit you just got is like a drop of water from the sea. There are much more benefit in his legacy that can take you much more far in your cultivation. Just remember that you need to increase your strength to unlock other benefits of his legacy. And remember this, don't ever be arrogant just because you inherit his legacy. You are not invincible and can still die with just a thought from a top expert. Alas the only one who has the same spirit as him is you. So teach yourself to avoid death. I don't want to wait any longer for other inheritor to come.“ He said it with a regretful tone.

“Spirit?” Of all his life, Hira never heard anything detail about spirit. Even though there is some ancient record in his clan that gave some information about spirit, it can only be considered as a myth.

“Spirit is an embodiment of a human’s personality, life and soul! Each human will have a spirit in their body and it might be in a form of beast, weapon or any other utility or life form. To unlock a spirit in human body is very difficult and it comes with a great price. But fortunately for you, the legacy had already takes care of that part for you. Your spirit is the black ring that appeared at your back, it is called Shapeshifter Ring! This kind of spirit had only appeared for two times in ancient history. By adding you, it will be the third time that this spirit has appeared. That just show how rare your spirit is.” The old man explained to Hira with a jealous tone.

“Shapeshifter Ring? Just what kind of spirit it is to be so rare? And even the “Forgery Sage” had this spirit! What so specials about this spirit?” After listening to the old man explanation, Hira is shocked to know how rare his spirit is. Even the “Forgery Sage” had it and he has able to become a supreme expert! What kind of ability does this spirit has!?

The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

“Shapeshifter Ring has the ability to change it form according to it’s master will! This has caused a lot of practitioners to be jealous with this kind of ability! A spirit that can provide a lot of utility and amazing protection! Other than changing it's form, the spirit will also automatically protect their master life in a peril situation. But every advantage also came with a disadvantage. Even though it's ability is very extraordinary, it requires a lot of mental energy provided by it's master. In your case, though yours Shapeshifter Ring able to forms a barrier protected you from my Domain, it actually at a cost of your life. Normally you would be crippled or became a retarded person, after activating that barrier. But this realm has recognized you as their master’s inheritor, so you're being unceasingly supplied by soul essences from this realm.” The old man explained.

Hira become confused with the old man explanation because there is a lot of terms that he doesn't know, mental energy, Domain and soul essences. This old man knowledge is still too high for a low-level mortal like Hira. But after hearing his spirit ability, he become excited and at the same time a grieve expression slowly appeared on his face. Just how can he cultivate this mental energy to provide energy to his spirit?

“Well I think I'm explaining it too fast for you to grasp it. Basically you need a large amount of mental energy to use your spirit. By the way, your ability to absorb this low-realm’s mana essences has been taken right? Don't fret about it, mana essence are placed in low-ranking of essence type. You should just cultivate by using soul essences or element essences. Both of the essences have much higher quality than mana essence. I'll provide you the cultivation method.” After the old man finished his explanation, a grim glow appeared in front of Hira and two ancient books appeared.

Surprised by the sudden event, Hira looks at the two books with bewildered expression. Even though the books give an ancient aura, it is still covered with an amazing material. The first book are covered with a silver-matter and each of it's page are as smooth as silk. The side of the book is covered with an unknown blue-matter, giving it a very elegant appearance! The title of the book is “Aether Dragon Transformation! This title had gave Hira’s a feeling of a mortal being looked down by a higher being!

Sighed…. only a book and it has already gives him a lot of pressure. He still needs to prepare himself for another one.

When the old man saw Hira’s reaction, he can't help but chuckle. But an excited expression had suddenly appeared on his face.

This kid potential is really world-defying! Even his body and comprehension potential has already qualified to be compared with a celestial being! And now even his mental energy potential!? A high-talent person would already faint when taking a glance of those ancient books! Damn you Augustur….. just what kind of luck did you get!?

After putting the silver book away, Hira readied himself to look at the other book. The second book has a red line covered it surface and are coated with an unknown white-material! The side of the book is covered with golden line that had been sewed into it. It appearance give an aura of a domineering emperor! The title of the book is seamed with golden silk thread, “Divine Emperor’s Manners”! Upon reading the title, Hira’s suddenly being pressured by a huge domineer aura! The pressure level had even surpassed the silver book's aura by a significant amount!

[font=ＭＳ 明朝, serif]"[/font]T-this…. “ Hira felt like he want to turn his face away and stop looking at the book! But he also had a quality of an emperor and he doesn't feel like to lose! He gathered all of his newly acquired essence to his eyes and resisted the pressure produce by the book! Then it becomes a competition between a boy and a book!

When the old man sees this scene his face become astonished! This kid, he even dared to challenge this book!? Even though it just a book, it is created by someone who are a much higher being than himself! Not even the old man dares to face the book face to face!

The fight between Hira and the book last for a few moments until the book suddenly emit a red glow that enveloped his whole body! His mind trembled and the whole book's information is imprinted in his head! Shocked by this sudden gushed of information, Hira immediately meditate himself to calm his mind and body.

This sudden occurrence even make the old man drool at Hira! The book action means that it has accepted Hira as a legitimate user of this book’s creator method! It indicates that Hira will be able to reap all the benefits of the book! Even the “Forgery Sage” unable to make the book succumb to himself!

In Hira’s meditation, there a red lighting that rippling around him! After all the information had entered in his mind, he started to comprehend one of the methods in the book. Though there still another method contained in it, his strength is still not enough to comprehend it.

The Manner Of Greeting! The first method that contained in the book of “Divine Emperor's Manner”!
