NOVEL NEXT Ch. 86
Chapter 86: Cracking the Inheritance Information with the Security Sandbox!
This drop of Flood Dragon Blood Essence indeed contained all the inheritance information left behind by that Demon King before its death.
However, this was ultimately just a single drop of blood essence, not the complete Flood Dragon itself. It could only mechanically execute the instructions that the Flood Dragon had left behind within the blood essence while it was alive.
Precisely because of this—
In Xu Zhengyang’s eyes, this Flood Dragon Blood Essence was like an encrypted compressed data package.
As long as he could find the correct “password”, he would be able to easily obtain all the inheritance information stored within the package!
【So… As long as I can trick this drop of Flood Dragon Blood Essence into believing that I am a serpent-type demonic beast, everything will work!】
Xu Zhengyang thought this way.
He immediately went to the courtyard, took out the corpse of the Golden-Eyed Python, and scanned it inch by inch with his Divine Sense.
While examining the details of the python’s body, Xu Zhengyang also constructed a 3D model of the python’s corpse within his mind.
Once finished—
Xu Zhengyang stored the python’s corpse back into the Jade Gourd.
Afterward, he returned to the Meditation Room and created a new system security sandbox within his mind. He then slightly modified the python’s memory data obtained through Soul-Searching Technique and inputted it into the sandbox.
Once the disguise was complete—
Xu Zhengyang took a deep breath, activated the manual advanced mode of the Security Manager inside the security sandbox, and finally swallowed that drop of Flood Dragon Blood Essence in one gulp!
The third tier was a stage where life underwent a qualitative transformation!
Because of this—
Even though this was merely a drop of the Demon King’s blood essence, the baleful aura and lingering resentment contained within it were far beyond what Xu Zhengyang could bear with ease at his current stage!
Within an instant—
His mind was overwhelmed with a torrent of junk information…
So much so that his brain could not process it all, leaving his head groggy and splitting with pain!
At that moment—
A warning pop-up suddenly appeared at the bottom-right corner of Xu Zhengyang’s retina!
【Warning!】
Abnormal network attack detected (DOS)
【Attack Details】
Attack Type: SYN Flood
Source IP: ???
Attack Traffic: 2.3Gbps
【Defense Suggestions】

……
Seeing the pop-up before his eyes, Xu Zhengyang endured the discomfort in his body and immediately clicked the 【Handle Immediately】 button!
As soon as he pressed the button—
Lines of subtitles rapidly scrolled across his retina:
【Security Manager is protecting your system health…】
√ Activating Traffic Cleansing
√ Blocking Malicious IPs
……
As each instruction executed step by step, the junk data carried into Xu Zhengyang’s mind by the Flood Dragon Blood Essence was gradually processed by the Security Manager.
Moments later—
As the Security Manager continued running and completely tagged the junk data within his brain…
A sound of crumpled paper being tossed into a trash bin suddenly rang out in Xu Zhengyang’s mind.
Immediately—
His pressure dissipated, and a refreshing clarity filled him!
“No wonder that Golden-Eyed Python fell into a state of feigned death for several years after devouring that Frog Demon...
With so much junk information—
The fact that its pitiful brain capacity didn’t explode outright was already a miracle.”
Xu Zhengyang muttered to himself.
He then entered an inner-view state to examine the condition of the Flood Dragon Blood Essence.
At this moment—
The Flood Dragon Blood Essence had already been deceived by the security sandbox Xu Zhengyang created, believing him to be a Golden-Eyed Python.
The blood essence had now withdrawn its sharpness, quietly lying dormant within his Dantian.
“It seems I have withstood the baleful aura and resentment of the Flood Dragon Blood Essence, and have already gained its preliminary recognition.
Next…
It’s time to attempt decryption!”
According to the python’s memories—
After it devoured the Frog Demon and obtained the Flood Dragon Blood Essence, it continued to live as before.
Not until the tenth year—
Did a cultivation method on how to absorb and refine the power of moonlight suddenly appear in its mind.
After that—
Every ten years, the Flood Dragon Blood Essence would release a new inheritance message to grant the python.
Xu Zhengyang did not know whether this ten-year cycle was a fixed requirement,
Or if the python’s cultivation had simply reached a threshold during those years, thereby unlocking a new inheritance message.
But this did not trouble Xu Zhengyang. He only needed to test each possibility.
Thus, he immediately summoned the time system of the security sandbox, setting it to a million-fold acceleration!
Under such acceleration—
Every single second in the outside world equaled one million seconds inside the sandbox world, approximately 11.57 days.
By conversion—
One minute equaled 1.9 years, and one hour equaled 114.16 years!
At this flow of time—
After only a little over five minutes, ten years had already passed inside the sandbox. As expected, a method of absorbing moonlight power appeared within Xu Zhengyang’s mind!
“Though this moonlight absorption method is far too crude, hardly worth my attention!”
Xu Zhengyang remarked with some regret, then eagerly said, “Let’s see what the second decade brings!”
As he spoke—
Xu Zhengyang doubled the time acceleration of the sandbox system. In just over two minutes, another inheritance message appeared in his mind!
……
A one-to-two-million ratio was already the sandbox’s limit.
After that—
Every two minutes or so, a new inheritance message would appear in Xu Zhengyang’s mind.
These inheritance messages included everything:
Cultivation methods, escape techniques, explosive battle arts…
But the Flood Dragon Blood Essence’s inheritance was messy and fragmented, nowhere near the profound heritage of the True Essence Sect, which had accumulated over thousands of years.
Because of this—
The more Xu Zhengyang read, the more disappointed he became.
……
Over three hours later—
When five hundred years had passed in the sandbox world, suddenly, a formation diagram abruptly appeared within Xu Zhengyang’s mind!
“A Fixed-Point Teleportation Formation?”
Upon seeing the diagram, Xu Zhengyang immediately recognized its purpose.
Once the formation diagram appeared—
The Flood Dragon Blood Essence had fulfilled its mission. It exploded at once, transforming into a mist of blood that permeated every corner of Xu Zhengyang’s body!
At the same time—
Xu Zhengyang closed his eyes, deeply sensing the immense and pure blood energy coursing through him.
This blood energy far exceeded his expectations.
He was certain—
As long as he fully refined this energy, he would surely reach the Bone Cleansing Realm and push his martial cultivation to Tier 1 Perfection!
“No wonder it is the blood essence of a Tier 3 Demon King!”
Xu Zhengyang exclaimed with joy, before shifting his attention to the teleportation formation diagram now imprinted within his mind.
This teleportation formation diagram contained no annotations.
Only at the very top of the diagram were four bold and forceful characters:
Cangming Water Mansion!
Upon seeing these characters, Xu Zhengyang’s heart burned with excitement as he muttered, “So…
This Cangming Water Mansion must have been the cave dwelling of that Demon King!”
