Crimson Heir: Shadows in Academia

14

"I foresaw this outcome, so I passed on a portion of my cultivation techniques to thirteen disciples. Theirs were all different and incomplete. Only the Arbitrator clan inherited all the techniques of the thirteen clans, as well as some secrets about the bloodlines of the thirteen clans and the werewolf clan. However, the Arbitrator clan can only have one heir, and I implanted my divine will into his blood. Before I left, I left a instruction: that future heirs of the Arbitrator family should be found in the East. Clearly, your previous heir fulfilled this instruction well."

"So you're just a wisp of Senior Cain's divine will? Even a wisp of divine will is this powerful?" Alex Qi was finally deeply shocked by the reality before him!

“To be specific, this is a divine sense imprint. When the triggering conditions are met, my divine sense, carrying one percent of my strength, can descend here,” Cain glanced at Alex Qi, then continued in detail, “You’ve absorbed most of my power here. Everything I’m about to say, you must remember. It directly relates to your future cultivation and your life! Remember! Remember!”

“Senior, I will remember it carefully. So, I can go back? I didn’t transmigrate?” Alex Qi asked, slightly excited, yet also a little disappointed.

“Hmm.” Cain answered Alex Qi’s question briefly, then began his long explanation: “Humans have souls, what we commonly call the spirit. It is composed of three parts: essence, qi, and spirit. Essence is spiritual power, which, after condensation, is called divine thought. Most cultivation sects cultivate essence, then drive qi, and finally create a divine domain, which is considered a minor success in cultivation. Our sect is called the Blood Refining Sect, which cultivates qi. Qi is condensed from the essence of human life, blood. Combined with the cultivation of essence, we can create a divine domain relatively quickly. What you are in now is my divine domain. Spirit is the divine domain, which Western mages usually call a domain. The absorption of dark elements during your cultivation was something I created by borrowing from Western mages' cultivation methods. Do you remember all of this?” After saying this, Cain glanced at Alex Qi with considerable concern.

“Do I really look that hopeless?” Although Alex Qi spoke with such sincerity, he still respectfully replied, “Senior, please rest assured, I have carefully remembered your teachings.” "Hmm, that's good!" Cain seemed much more satisfied with Alex Qi's attitude, casually replying before organizing his thoughts and continuing, "Your divine domain is filled with my divine domain. After I leave, silently think about withdrawing your spiritual power from the crystal, and you can leave. For a period of time, you can only use your divine domain as a spatial storage. Once you reach Duke strength, your divine domain can expand outside your body, and as your strength increases, the range it covers can also increase. Due to time constraints, I took the opportunity to insert the secrets about vampire and werewolf blood, as well as their cultivation techniques, into your body while you were absorbing my power. You'll gradually understand later. Of course, I also sealed some cultivation techniques into your body. Alright, after I leave, hurry up and get out. That girl and the little werewolf outside seem to be in trouble." After saying this, Cain's figure began to blur.

"We'll meet again sometime!" Alex Qi only vaguely heard this sentence as Cain disappeared.

As Cain vanished, the starry sky before him began to collapse. Just like the collapse of the original Crimson World, "It seems that the Crimson World back then was created by Cain, probably to allow me to absorb his power. Moreover, that power wasn't absorbed directly; only by killing the giant wolf could the blood mist be generated and absorbed. This... my cheap ancestor really went to great lengths! Don't worry, I will definitely not let your lineage be lost, and I will definitely gather your worthless disciples again!" Alex Qi secretly made up his mind as the starry sky collapsed.

After the starry sky collapsed, Alex Qi appeared in a large purple room. It was about a thousand square meters, square and regular, with purple walls, ceiling, and floor. "So this is my divine realm. The difference between it and my senior's is enormous. I'll tidy up this place when I have time. Right now, it's more important to go out and see what's happening outside!" With that, Alex Qi gently closed his eyes.

First, imagine yourself inside your own purple crystal, then slowly withdraw your spiritual power.

Sure enough, a purple crystal appeared in Alex Qi's mental energy, and he heard the familiar heartbeat again.

Slowly, he enveloped the heart with his mental energy, gradually reducing its rate. Suddenly, Alex Qi became alert and abruptly withdrew his mental energy from his mind. He then abruptly used his mental energy to pry open the coffin lid, leaping to its side. At his feet lay the dying Linda. Without time to check on Linda, Alex Qi stared intently at the person before him.

Wearing a black suit, a black tailcoat with a red bow tie over a white shirt, and black leather boots, he appeared to be a Western gentleman. However, the blood-dripping dagger in his right hand, his pale face, and his blood-red eyes made it difficult to describe the person standing before Alex Qi, staring at him.

“Oh ho, our Arbitrator has woken up just in time!” The stranger before Alex Qi broke the silence first. “Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Hans Assamite.” After adding this sentence, the assassin, who called himself Hans, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips with a slurping sound, then bent over, his eyes fixed on Alex Qi, a strange blood-red glint flashing in his pupils.

Rewinding time, less than five hours had passed since Alex Qi appeared, but three months had gone by since he entered the coffin to cultivate.

That night, three months had passed since Alex Qi went into the coffin. Jack Nicholas Farrar, after dinner, went to Alex Qi's room again to see if he would suddenly emerge. Just like the past three months, he left disappointed. Jack walked to the yard and gently lay down on the lawn.
