A few months later, Xiao Chen once again stood in the small room on the 20th floor of the Spirit Refining Tower. This time Luo Ling was beside him. He pressed his hand on the base of the bust of Rafael Gomez and spoke the command again.
Unlike last time, the voice said: "Welcome, the younger generation from the Dream Tower... The twenty-first floor of the Spirit Refining Tower is the place of my inheritance. You have reached a high level, and the door to inheritance will be opened for you."
As Saint Gomez finished speaking, a light gate appeared on the wall behind his statue. Xiao Chen and Luo Ling scanned the gate with their mental power and found nothing unusual, so they entered the gate.
Behind the light door were steps, and they climbed up and stepped into the 21st floor. The 21st floor was a small round room under an arched dome, and like the room downstairs, it was still empty, except for five platforms in front of one wall, with five objects suspended on them.
On the first platform, there was a black ring with an amber gem inlaid on it. The ring was similar in style to the Secret Inheritance Ring on Xiao Chen's hand. When Xiao Chen approached it, a line of text appeared on the platform: Gomez's Secret Inheritance Ring, which can cross the world in dreams and record the inheritance of the Dream Tower.
It was indeed another inheritance ring. But the crossing of worlds in dreams mentioned here, could it be referring to the parallel world journey mentioned earlier? Perhaps the three secret arts inheritances obtained earlier were achieved through this ring, so I crossed three worlds in a row in my dreams? No wonder I could no longer enter the parallel world after that day. Maybe with this ring, I can meet Luo Ling from another world again
Xiao Chen calmed down, took off the ring, and put it on his hand. Then, similar to when he put on the secret inheritance ring, a voice sounded in his ears:
———————
Heir to the Dream Tower:
When you got this ring, it meant that you passed my test. Now the revival of the Dream Tower becomes your responsibility.
This ring contains nine different magics, which will appear in your meditation world. When you have learned all the magics, a secret cube will appear. This cube can only be opened when you have reached the level of a great magician. It contains a holy-level magic of the Dream Tower: Tide of Nirvana.
This ring has two special functions. The first is to form a space barrier that can resist sudden damage once a day. The second is that when you practice the dream travel method with it, there is a certain possibility that you will cross to another world. What is the principle of the latter function? I still don’t understand it. Maybe it is a side effect of the space stone that creates the space barrier. However, traveling to other worlds and experiencing different lives is very beneficial for us Dream Tower mages.
Finally, half of the Dream Tower's heritage is in the Soul Forging Tower. Go get Gregorio's heritage ring. This pair of rings made by the master of the Soul Forging Tower was originally one. Gregorio and I separated them when we were taking refuge in order to leave our own heritage. However, they can only exert their greatest power when they are combined.
———————
Xiao Chen's consciousness swept through the meditation space and found that nine more light balls had appeared. However, five of them were duplicates of the original ones, and there were only four new magics. After analyzing these four magic structures, he would be able to get another cube.
He returned to reality, took off the ring, and asked Luo Ling: "This is another inheritance ring. Do you want to try the magic inside?"
Luo Ling shook her head and said, "No, it won't choose me. I understand now. The reason why the inheritance ring didn't choose me was probably because it found that my body couldn't withstand the magic. Spiritual magic consumes a lot of mental energy. If I cast this kind of magic, I would be courting death."
"Okay. It was just introduced that these two rings can be fused together." Xiao Chen tried to take off both rings and put them close together. A strange thing happened. The two rings emitted a shining light, and then they were combined into one ring out of thin air. The ring of this ring was made of black and white metals intertwined with each other, and there were two gems on it arranged side by side along the ring, which was more gorgeous and complicated than the original ring.
"It turns out to be called the Traveler's Heart, a sacred artifact passed down from the Dream Tower. In order to avoid being captured by the Temple of Nature, two saints used a secret method to split it into two pieces, and each took it to one side to build a new magic tower." Xiao Chen said after putting on the ring.
"What different functions does it have now?" Luo Ling asked curiously.
"After the merger, there are many new abilities. There are four passive effects, clear mind, enhanced intuition, energy perception and dream travel. Two active skills, mental whipping and space barrier. The other two auxiliary skills, one is information recording, which is the function of the two inherited magic, and the other is a two-meter square storage space. In short, none of them is particularly powerful when viewed separately, but so many abilities combined are awesome." Xiao Chen took off the ring again and said, "I have learned the magic in it, you can take it with you?"
Luo Ling shook her head and said, "You are now a prominent figure representing the Tower of China, so you must have some good things on you. I have already taken the ice wand. Use this well."
Xiao Chen wanted to persuade her again, but Luo Ling said, "Do you still remember what Xiao Mu said about our talents?"
"Yes, you are better than me in several aspects..."
"So, you need it more than I do." Luo Ling shrugged and said, "Okay, let's continue watching the rest."
She walked to the second table, picked up a leather-bound booklet, and opened it. On the title page was written: "Outline of the True Form of the Fantasy World."
"This is the most important thing in the inheritance." Xiao Chen came over, and the two of them looked through the contents together. After reading it from the beginning, Xiao Chen said: "These contents cannot be used directly, and many places still need calculations and experiments, but with these as a basis, it should be enough to restore the entire book."
"Yes, maybe we can go a step further on the original basis."
"You think it can be improved before you even look at it carefully?"
“That’s the feeling of a mathematician. Some parts… how should I put it? They’re not beautiful enough. Things that are not beautiful often have problems.”
On the third stand was a large book. This book looked like a holy book, but there was no word on the cover. Xiao Chen opened the cover of the book and found a note underneath. "It turned out to be an unfinished holy book. According to what was said above, it would be a holy book related to spirit servants, but the God-killing War broke out before it was completed. Its original function was to pass on the spirit servants..."
Luo Ling said: "In other words, the mage can use this holy book to preserve the spirit servant and pass it on to future generations. The life of the spirit servant will also be greatly extended. If it is done, it will be a very useful holy book."
