Damien took out his knife, which was as crude as could be, and made a slight cut on his finger. He let the blood drip onto both space rings, then wore the one he had received in the first city.
Then he used his mind to sense the space ring. Suddenly, a huge space opened before him where many things were kept. Looking at them, he couldn't even distinguish what they were used for.
Then he thought about the second ring. It was bigger than the first, and here he found two things he had seen before.
"Looks like the things contained in these rings are for cultivation, but I can't even determine the use of these."
His eyes turned toward the three jade boxes, which were similar to the one he had received in this house. He took out the three jade boxes.
"These boxes won't be the same as the previous ones."
Damien opened the first one, where there was a white crystal, the same as the one he got in the first city. Then he opened the remaining two, but to his surprise, another also contained a white crystal, and the last held a small bottle.
He used the detector to get information about the bottle.
"A small bottle to store spiritual products."
Looking at the information, he was surprised.
"So this will be used in cultivation."
Then he looked at the crystal as well to get its real name.
"Memory crystal: used for storing certain information or legacy."
Looking at the information, he stopped everything and touched the crystal. As soon as he touched it, the same white light covered him again, but this time it took longer to disappear.
At the same time, Damien, who was covered by the white light, began to receive a huge amount of memory. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes.
"So it is a cultivation method—Unbreakable Vajra Body."
Damien began to remember the cultivation technique he had received, but he didn't start cultivating immediately. Instead, he looked at the other crystal. As he touched it, the same phenomenon appeared, but this time the memory implantation lasted a little longer.
Damien looked speechless as he digested the memory.
"So those fruits were a by-product in this world. Due to the huge spiritual energy being blocked on this planet, the fruits absorbed spiritual energy, which led them to become mystical."
Damien received memories about the use of natural resources for cultivation, and that Unbreakable Vajra Body was a martial art that allowed one to cultivate the body.
Then he looked at the other things in the ring, most of which were related to cultivation.
Damien thought for a while.
"If I go ahead in search of another city, it might be more dangerous. So this time I will stay in this place and cultivate until these resources are finished."
Damien, who was alone in the whole world, began to enjoy cultivation. After all, there was nothing to do except cultivate.
More than ten years had passed since Damien came to this world, but like a game level, he had been traveling city by city, each time hoping he would reach the center where the inheritance pagoda was kept.
But he didn't see any sign of an inheritance tower. In the process, his own strength had broken through to more than the 99th rank as a warrior. He even thought the sunglasses might have malfunctioned.
After all, to receive the inheritance, one needed to be a 9th rank warrior, but he wasn't sure if the 99th rank mentioned by the detector was the peak of the 9th rank or something else.
During these ten years, he had also hunted an unknown number of creatures to eat their meat.
Damien was standing in front of a huge beast's body. Looking at it, he thought:
"Did that detector still work? Looking at the monster, it took me a lot of effort to kill. If it were only for 9th rank warriors, it would have killed me thousands of times. So the detector might have malfunctioned in detecting strength."
This should be a 9th rank monster—after all, in ten years, I haven't seen any beast more powerful than this one.
"So how do I find the tower? From the memory I gained, I am following the direction, but it's never-ending. Sigh, I don't think I can leave this world."
Then he thought about the 99th rank warrior.
"If the detector is malfunctioning with the number, it should still be able to show my strength growing, so why is it still stuck at 99th rank? If I cross from 99th to 100th rank, it might mean I've reached the 10th rank as a warrior."
Damien then took out the heart of the monster and mixed it with different elixir plants he had collected over more than ten years.
"Let's see—with the heart of a 9th level creature mixed with the elixirs I've collected, I should be able to cross into the 10th level as a warrior."
Damien then made a mixture of the meat, which looked half-cooked, but he still ate it as if enjoying it.
Suddenly, Damien felt his body grow very light, as if he were flying. A huge amount of spiritual energy entered his body.
Damien opened his eyes only to see himself in the air.
"What happened? Did I break through? If the 10th rank as a warrior means humans can fly, then…"
Damien took out his detector and checked his cultivation level.
"Demigod: 100th level warrior."
Looking at his title, Damien was shocked.
"Only when crossing the 10th level do people become demigods? Or does the detector not have any problem?"
Damien was purely confused due to his sudden ability and knew his strength might be correct, but then he thought of those creatures.
He still shook his head, then looked toward the direction he was supposed to go.
There, he saw a majestic tower very far from his present location. Only the pagoda's top part was visible.
"Looking at the distance, if I didn't have the ability to fly, it might take more than ten years to reach there."
This time, Damien didn't bother with the monster corpse but began to fly toward the tower.
At first, it was difficult for him to fly, but he adjusted to balance in the air, even though he fell a few times. He still managed to learn how to fly.
But it still took him more than a day to reach the tower. If he had been proficient in flying, it would have taken less than a day.
He rested for a while in front of the pagoda, then walked toward the tower.
When he reached the front of the tower, he didn't see any gate to enter. Then he turned toward a stone that might have been a strength-testing stone.
"Even to enter the tower, I need to prove my strength."
Damien punched the stone with all his strength, and this time the whole stone broke into pieces. Just as he thought the result might not come, a voice came from the pagoda.
"100th rank warrior."
