I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 683 Heritage Chi Origin

?

"You have come, my wild disciple." a loud voice comes from a certain direction.

Looking towards the sound direction, Angus finds a person sitting on the small mount made of bones.

He couldn't see the person's figure clearly as the person was shining in white light, illuminating the surrounding gloomy area. He could only see the familiar silhouette of the bright white person.

"M-Master…" muttered Angus while looking at the mysterious bright figure.

A split second later, Angus frowned and turned into a stern look.

"No, you are not him. Who are you?!" asked Angus menacingly.

"Hmm… As expected of the current user. I am sorry if I somehow offend you. I just used the previous user's figure to talk with you. There are a few things I could do when I don't have any form." said the mysterious figure.

"What do you want? Why are you bringing me to this place?" asked Angus vigilantly.

"Hmm… I believe this is just a coincidence or Fate in your current world's saying." said the mysterious figure.

"Coincidence? The last thing I remember is being forced to drink a lot of liquor." asked Angus in confusion.

"Yes. If I am not wrong, your current state is where your body and mind are separated from your soul. Quite dangerous for ordinary living beings but nothing to those chi experts." said the mysterious figure.

Hearing this, Angus understands his current condition and believes this meeting is really just a coincidence. Entering Angus's current state is like trying to win a lottery. His state is between death and life.

For ordinary people, it is a deathly situation with a 99% chance of death. However, the chance is reversed when it comes to the master of chi user. For chi users, 95% will survive this state while the other 5% is in the hand of luck.

Masters of chi usually use this opportunity to synchronize their body, mind, and soul. However, Angus didn't need to do that since he had a better method to synchronize these three aspects.

'Chi expert, current user? He is...' thought Angus inwardly.

"So, you are saying I somehow entered a state like when I drank Miraculous Elixir in the past?" asked Angus while trying to probe the mysterious figure.

"Miraculous Elixir? Ahh… That stupid liquor. I believe the previous user before you liked to drink that to enter the transcendent state." said the mysterious figure.

'So, he could really access the memory of my predecessor or my memory.'  thought Angus inwardly.

"Nah… He just likes getting super high." said Angus nonchalantly as he reminisced about his past.

"Anyway, you said about me being a current user and Master as the previous user. Are you the Heritage Chi?" asked Angus warily.

"Hmm… You could say I am part of the Heritage Chi but also not at the same time." replied the mysterious figure.

"What did you mean?" asked Angus.

"Tell me what you know about this heritage chi?" asked the mysterious figure.

"According to the record, it should be a massive amount of chi that passes down to the strongest martial arts across the generations. However, I find it strange and unnatural." said Angus.

"Hoo… How so?" asked the mysterious figure.

"I find the heritage chi is illogical and breaks the law of nature. Although the chi user could do many supernatural things, it could still be explained and bound by certain rules. Even destroying and catching spirits could also be explained logically."

"Heritage chi directly breaks the law of nature, especially the law of energy. If the heritage chi is passed down from generation to generation over thousands of years, it should have been exhausted a long time ago." explained Angus.

"Not to mention the other predecessor, I already used at least thousands of people's chi worth during my previous life. I doubt the other predecessor also consumes a lot of chi from it."

"No matter how many things or living being sacrificed to the heritage chi, it is impossible to remain unlimited like now." added Angus.

"Right. However, to understand this, you need to know the origin of the heritage chi." said the mysterious figure before waving his hand.

Suddenly, a hologram picture appeared in front of Angus.

"Eons ago, an unknown thing broke time and space before landing on our previous world. No one knows what this is, but everyone knows this thing is dangerous to our world. All living beings from various races banded together to drive away this unknown thing."

"Immortals, space races, the strongest, the mightiest, even the harbinger of the worlds join forces to drive this unknown thing from our world. Unexpectedly, this unknown thing takes root in our world and creates its own force to defend itself."

"This force is not only powerful but also unkillable. No matter what we did, they could always revive themself and fight again. Even with the help of our world's power, we are still not capable of eliminating them."

"As time passes, these forces multiply as the unknown roots spread. We know we can't let this unknown thing stay any longer. However, it is too powerful for us to banish it."

"In the end, every powerful and transcendent being decides to sacrifice themself to seal this unknown thing. Because of this, our world regresses to at least a hundred thousand years, along with the extinction of many powerful races."

"The misty ball you find in your body is the sealing version of this unknown thing. Later on, it became what you refer to as Heritage Chi. What you use until now is just a small portion of energy that leaked from the seal."

"As time passed, this unknown thing slowly weakened along with us. Before you commit suicide in your… previous life, it makes the struggle to break out."

"Once again, it breaks through time and space to bring us into this unknown world with your soul and enter this world reincarnation cycle. 

"After coming to this world, we slowly understand what this thing is and why all of us bore natural hatred towards it." said the mysterious cryptically.

"What is this unknown thing?" asked Angus curiously.

The mysterious figure didn't answer and only gave a smile or at least it is what Angus perceived from its shiny facial movement.

"You are still not qualified to know about this. I believe you will know about it when the time comes. At that time, whatever choice you choose, we will support you."

"For now, just focus on getting stronger. Only by being strongest you could dictate your own path." said the mysterious figure before he waved his hand.

Suddenly, Angus feels like falling from high in the sky despite being thrown back. In the meantime, Jayna slowly wakes up and finds Anna in her mature form crying alone. A trace of tears appeared near her eyes.

"B-Big sis…" said Anna timidly.

Before Anna could speak further, Jayna already embraced Anna tightly.

"I am sorry, Anna. B-Big sis should not have said that. I am sorry. I am sorry." apologized to Jayna while also crying.

"N-No, it is Anna. no.. my fault…" said Anna.

"Hush… Anna, I am sorry. You are my cute adorable daughter, no matter what. I promise I will never do that again. I am sorry." said Jayna while looking at the crying Anna.

"Mom.. Huuuuaa…" Anna cried while in Jayna's embrace.

At this moment, they suddenly feel their connection with Angus again.

"Urgh… My head feels like splitting apart. Huh?! Why are you two crying?!" said Angus while clutching his head.

"Angus!!" called Anna and Jayna at the same time and embraced Angus.

"Err... What just happened? Why is everything burning?" asked Angus in confusion.

After being explained by Jayna through their bond, Angus couldn't help but be speechless. First, he just finds that the thing that he drank before is not ordinary liquor.

It is a concoction mixed up with many things. A drop of this concoction could make the entire capital city go drunk and still be capable of killing those with low tolerance.

Even the highly resistant monster-minded people didn't dare to drink the entire bottle at once. Yet, they keep chugging the concoction to Angus after his first bottle as if trying to kill him.

'No wonder Jayna reacts harshly and turns this place into a burning hell. Still, I didn't expect the phoenix power to be this strong when empowered with true feelings. No wonder the previous Fire Phoenix is unstoppable.' thought Angus inwardly while letting the girls hug him.

After a few hours of crying and a tight hug, Angus and Jayna feel their bond getting stronger but also find they can share and know Anna's thoughts to a certain degree. Anna herself is surprised at this change while already turned back into child form.

"Yay!! Mom and Dad are inside Anna's head!!' exclaimed Anna happily.

Angus and Jayna are surprised at Anna's words but do not comment anything and just hug the little monster lovingly. At this moment, they already regard each other as an inseparable family.

"Guess… Getting drunk has its own benefits. Still, we should take care of that elf first. We already waste too much time here to get nothing. Also, did anyone see DJ Mike?" said Angus.

"Anna knows. That asslicker grass is swallowed by blackie." replied Anna while ignoring Angus' last question.
