Chapter 309: The Inheritance Ground…
“I found this…” Quinn said, stretching his right hands forward. Then, he used his fingers to poke open his right arm, as droplets of blood rolled down and a key covered a small golden barrier popped out of Quinn’s arm.
“The Key To The Ancestral Ground…” Old Man Mang said, his voice unknowingly shaking, as he gently carried the key with both hands, like it was the greatest treasure of all treasures.
“Hmmm, it has bonded with you?” Old Man Mang asked with a raised eyebrow as Quinn suddenly stretched his hands forward and the key levitated from Old Man Mang’s hands and rolled around him.
“Even I don’t understand how, but I’m not complaining…” Quinn said with a cheeky smile as the golden key revolved around him, shinning with a bright halo that made him more great than ever.
“This Key is the second of its existence. Only the Voidspace Patriarch possess it. Have you learned how to use it?” Old Man Mang asked curiously as he watched the Key stooped revolving around Quinn and gently landed back in his palm.
“I can’t use the Key…”
“WHAT!!!” Old Man Mang almost jumped from his seat after that.
“I mean, not for now. I would have to be at the Middle Cosmic Rank Stage at least before I’m able to use its power. So even if I sneak back to the ancestral ground right now, I still won’t be able to unlock the door…”
“Oh?” Old Man Mang’s eyes only furrowed more in worry.“Then you have to reach The Middle Cosmic Rank as soon as possible. I don’t know how, but we don’t have much time, Quinn. The Patriarch will one day rise from the throne, I’m sorry, if I’ll end up being the one ordered to cut off your head.
You don’t have anything that can rescue you from the rage of the Voidspace Patriarch. The other Patriarch of the Nine families might be as strong as he is, but none of them will be willing to do such a hustle. And I’m sure you don’t have that much stronger connection either, the future is not bright at all, Quinn. It’s gloomy.
Only if the two heirs of the Voidspace were alive. You would have been able to keep cultivating and growing your strength while avoiding the clan’s prying gaze until you’re ready. But now, their gaze is directly on you at this moment.
What will you do?” Old Man Mang asked as Quinn looked at the table dumbly and he signed.
There really was nothing he could do. He couldn’t reach the Cosmic rank stage in a month or two. If the Voidspace Patriarch came anytime, he was screwed. There wasn’t a place he could also run too or hide unless it was extremely faraway from Earth.
Besides, it would only be a matter of time before he was once again discovered. He really was screwed.
“Quinn, I feel incredibly sorry for your mum, and promised to fulfill her last wish, which was to raise you up well.
I have also followed your wishes of rescuing her as much as I can, and we even got as far as getting the key.
It isn’t wrong to say, I’ve done my best…” Old Man Mang said as Quinn clenched the Key tightly in his hands.
“Since this might well be the last time I’ll be seeing you alive. I’ll give you the last three things I have with me…” Old Man Mang said as three objects appeared in his hands.
One was a massive book, brimming with an incredibly bright blue halo.
“Is… Is that the fourth principle book!!?” Quinn asked dazedly, staring in shock at Old Man Mang but his smile soon receded when he saw the somber expression on the old man’s face.
And thereafter, he brought out five blue crystals. If Zeras had seen them, he would have raised an eyebrow as they were in every like the crystal he obtained from Shima’s spatial ring, except it was blue colored instead of gold colored like Shima’s.
“What are these?” Quinn asked, surprised, he didn’t even recognize the objects.
“They are Mana Stones. Holding the purest essence of Mana for almost hundred years deep in places with very high concentration of Mana. This should improve your cultivation base faster than anything possible…”
Old Man Mang said before bringing out the last thing, a blue earring.
And then, Quinn stood rigged to where he was as he looked at the earring.
“This was the earring your mum was putting on before she was gone. It fell on the way and I kept it for you. I’m sure you don’t even have any of your mum’s possession with you.”
“Take it…” Old Man Mang said, pushing all the three objects to him.
“This is all I can do, Quinn.” He said as he grabbed his staff and raised himself upwards.
Walking towards the direction of the exit, he suddenly stopped beside Quinn.
“The Voidspace Patriarch know of my involvement with you, but he remained quiet until now, refusing to bring the matter up. It’s not a good sign. I hope you forgive me if I’m the one to take your life in the end.
“Goodbye Quinn…” He said, clasping Quinn’s shoulder tightly before walking out of the room, the door shutting to a close.
Now sitting down quietly was Quinn, who stared simply at the objects on the table.
“Old Man Mang, I would have thought you were abandoning me at my most important time of need. But how can I put it like that when you put all this in front of me…”
“A book to learn the fourth principle, Mana Stones to improve my cultivation. You want me to fight, don’t you. No, you want me to win, Old Man Mang.
If you were the one ordered to raise that butcher blade on me, then I won’t blame you at all if you put it down. You’ve done your best, Old Man Mang.
It’s now left up to me. Up To Me!” Quinn said looking at all the objects when suddenly a blinding red light tore out of the blindfold he was wearing.
“I’ll fight. I’ll give him a fight that will be forever haunt him in his nightmares. It’s not a Goodbye Old Man Mang, It’s only the beginning of an impending welcome…” Quinn said, the objects on the table suddenly disappearing, and he turned to also exit the room, leaving behind nothing but deathly silence.
