Chapter 399 Book Of Inheritance
A few days later.
After shopping around, the Void Auction was about to start.
With Otto's identity, they were directly invited to the VIP room without capital verification.
If the top genius of the Sterling family still needed capital verification, then the auction would be a joke.
Sitting inside the VIP room, they were served top wines and food.
Unfortunately, because it was a virtual world, it only had the taste but not the effect.
Different from other auctions, all the participants were in their own private rooms.
Each had a wide one-way mirror pointed at the auctioneer's platform.
Besides the organizer of the auction, no one knew the guest's information.
This ensured maximum privacy, allowing the guests to confidently bid any amount.
"If you lack money, just tell me," Otto said, seeing the auction was about to start.
"Oh," Maximus nodded unconsciously.
Having a rich friend is really different.
If only Otto was a woman... unfortunately, he was a macho man.
While sighing in weirdness, the auction began.
"The first bit of our auction would be book inheritance!" the auctioneer announced.
"Book inheritance?" Maximus muttered with interest.
The difference between a book inheritance and a book is their utility use.
A book can only be read and comprehended slowly, while a book inheritance can be directly absorbed, ensuring that one can directly have at least initial mastery of the technique.
(Initial, Proficient, Expert, Perfect, Transcendent, Ultimate)
"Now for the opening item! A Peak tier 11 book inheritance of the River of Sword."
Hearing the announcement, the individuals in the auction room tensed up.
A peak tier 11 book inheritance of the River of Sword!
This means that with enough resources and talent, they could directly master the peak of the River of Sword.
"Isn't this the path of Dimensional Master of the Sword Immortal Realm?"
"Isn't this creating enemies for yourself?" Maximus asked doubtfully.
"Hey, you didn't know? The Sword Path is just a branch of the River of Killing!"
"This Dimensional Master was probably fishing, to expand the river of law he mastered."Otto said.
"A branch? Can a river of law be branched?" Hearing these terms, Maximus asked.
"Yes, the path to advancement is infinite."
"The river of law, the embodiment and will of all living beings is of course also infinite."
"In each river of law, there can only be one master, but it can have infinite dependents."
"Each person forging the path of the river of law is also contributing to its rise."
"Once enough will is gathered and manifested, this river of law will advance to the Ocean of Law!"
"As it continues to strengthen, the Ocean of Law would can branch out, forming rivers of laws for all to follow."
"I see," Maximus nodded in realization.
Maximus had been wondering for a while about the difference between the various dimensional masters of the Dimensional Alliance.
Why is it that some are more prosperous than others, despite all of them becoming a master of a river of law?
Could it be that some are smarter than others? Or their paths are more conducive to making wealth?
It seemed that his previous conclusion was wrong.
Everything in this world is indispensable without the strength to protect it.
Even if one's path points directly towards mountain od wealth, without strength, one would be a mere pocket for someone stronger.
This information seemed to be circulated only among top families and some strong tier 11 individuals.
After all, without delving into the rivers of law, how could they know which is which?
The top brass also keeps a tight lid on it, ensuring to lure more into the honey trap.
With more individuals delving into the rivers of law they master, they would also get stronger in turn, even having the chance to reach the peak of the world.
This made Maximus wonder if the River of Knowledge was just a branch of some ocean of laws.
Seeing Maximus frowning, Otto thought of something.
"This benefit is not only for the master of the river of laws; the dependents also get benefits."
"With more individuals joining the fray, the pie would get bigger and bigger, in turn making them stronger and stronger."
"Is that so?"
"That's right! How about I give you a book of inheritance of the Ocean of Creation?"
"This is a true peak inheritance, not like the River of Sword!" Otto tempted.
"Is this the path of the head of the Sterling family?" Maximus didn't answer and shifted the topic.
He didn't want to be a dependent or anything similar.
He would rather choose the weakest river of law and make it stronger than be dependent, cutting off his path of advancement.
"Yes, my grandfather is the master of the Ocean of Creation!" Otto said proudly.
To create one of the richest families, the Ocean of Creation is indispensable.
Branching out into alchemy, mechanics, forging, talisman making, refining, etc., this made the Sterling family became the largest producer of treasures in their entire plane of existence.
"How awesome..." Maximus praised sincerely.
Occupying almost all the crafting professions, becoming the richest family was only natural.
"Can you tell me if the River of Knowledge is a branch of some Ocean of Law?" Maximus couldn't help but ask.
This was the most likely path he would choose.
From the beginning to the present, he had been tirelessly comprehending knowledge.
Although it was done through cheating, Maximus had formed some feelings for the River of Knowledge.
Unlike merging with the laws, one can only be a master of one river of law.
This is the absolute rule of their plane of existence; even those tier 12 overlords couldn't break it.
"That's right, you own the Dimensional Origin Library, so the River of Knowledge is quite apt for you," Otto nodded in understanding.
"However, as far as I know, the River of Knowledge is one of the unconquerable rivers of law in our plane of existence."
"Many powerful beings have failed to master this river of law, making it one of the forbidden rivers of law."
"I suggest you just master some branched-out river of law, so you do not waste your time," Otto suggested.
There is a huge gap between a master and a 99 percent mastery of the river of law.
The master of the river of law can mobilize its full power, becoming invincible to those below it.
While those who stop can only borrow part of the power of the river of law, barely having the strength to fight.
"If you're worried that it would hinder your path, you don't need to worry."
"According to the overlord of the Interdimensional Council, becoming a master of a branched-out river of law has no effect on the promotion to the tier 12 realm."
"Although no one has confirmed it so far, the overlord of the Interdimensional Council shouldn't have lied."
"I see, I will think about it..." Maximus replied.
But in his mind, he was more determined to follow the path of the River of Knowledge.
He was already being influenced by the River of Knowledge, so why should he choose otherwise?
Furthermore, no matter how hard it is to become the master of the River of Knowledge, it isn't harder than reaching the tier 12 overlord realm.
If he couldn't even become the master of the River of Knowledge, how could he dare to dream of something higher?
While Maximus and Otto talked, the peak tier 11 book inheritance of the River of Sword was bought by a tier 11 individual for over 30 million origin coins.
As long as one hasn't become the master of a river of law, one could abandon their path and choose another one.
Seeing the ready-made path to follow, how could those tier 11 individuals stuck at comprehending some river of law not be tempted?
This is a book inheritance they could directly absorb, and having some control over the river of law was already a win.
Even Otto was a little tempted, but remembering that the Sterling family follows the path of creation, he held back.
Soon, the next books of inheritance began to be sold one after another.
From different professions, unique knowledge, refining knowledge, forbidden techniques, transformation skills, dimensional skills, and more.
Some even tempted Maximus to take a shot.
However, looking at his pitiful amount of origin coins, he held back.
His goal was to buy the tier 9 Ultimate treasures.
Although he didn't know how long and how much he needed to collect over a hundred thousand tier 9 Ultimate treasures, Maximus was willing to pay the price.
With the Dimensional Origin Library earning money, it was only a matter of time before he could collect all of it.
Furthermore, he was also preparing some foundational treasures for the Etherium Realm.
As the master of the dimension, Maximus had the responsibility to nurture the Etherium Realm to its full potential.
As the auction continued, more book inheritances about the rivers of law were being auctioned.
Like the first lot, as soon as they appeared, they were directly snatched up.
Amazed by the wealth of the crowd, Maximus watched the auction for several days until the first part of the auction was about to end.
"Now for the finale, we have...."
