BXBX NOVEL Chapter 416 - Imparting Techniques
---
"Don\'t worry about it brat." Old Man Geezer waved his hand, "It\'s not yet time for you to know my name. I am stained with too much karma due to my enemies. If you careless mention or think about my name, it\'ll easily reveal your connection with me, they could easily track you down with that. And with your pitiful strength, just a random fart from them could easily kill you."
Raven nodded in understanding. One couldn\'t really underestimate the methods of Divinity Realm experts, specially those who specializes in tracking. Numeracy, Karma, Temporal Inversions, even a single strand of hair could reveal many secrets in the right hands. This is why it is understandable for Geezer to not even be able to reveal his true name to Raven currently.
"As for this meeting of ours, of course I already made plans ahead. Hmph! I only got careless once, causing me to end up in this pitiful state, but now that I\'m alert how can those fools figure out anything? I might not be the strongest of them when it comes to offensive means but in terms of survivability? Hmph, hmph! They\'re still too tender compared to me." Geezer bragged smugly.
"As for them tracking you? That\'s almost impossible with me here! You should know that because of your unique constitution, the Heavenly Laws of the Divine Realm would\'ve treated you as a variable, yet they didn\'t because of the Almighty me! So if you want to rub its feathers the opposite way, go ahead! I won\'t be able to touch you at all! Hahaha!"
Raven remained silent, feeling a little bit complicated in his heart. Though this old guy\'s temperament is a little too strange, it doesn\'t change the fact that this guy is still the creator of the Ancestral Divine Crown. Without the crown, Raven wouldn\'t even be around.
What Raven experienced is a Soul Rebirth, not a reincarnation. Had Raven wanted to, he could\'ve easily sent himself into the cycle of reincarnation by sealing all of his memories first then sending his soul on the way. Once he reached a certain stage of his cultivation, his memories will return and this will allow him to live for another lifetime.
However, Soul Rebirth is different. Not only did his original soul returned, it was also sent back in time. It had to be known that Raven\'s soul is a soul that briefly made contact with Divinity Realm. Sending a soul of that magnitude back in time requires an exceedingly steep requirements, yet the item that this old man made easily accomplished that.
Yes, his soul might be injured during the process, but that\'s because he ignited his very source. It doesn\'t change the fact that his soul touched the Divinity Realm and those that could send a Divine Soul back in time, are far too few in numbers. Yet this old man\'s creation easily did just that.
If that\'s not worthy of earning his admiration, then he might as well disdain everything.
"Disciple greets Master." Raven formally knelt down and accepted Old Man Geezer as his master with all of his heart.
This somewhat astounded Geezer, after that he roared in laughter and flicked his finger. Sending a beam of light to enter Raven\'s forehead.
A wave of information gushed inside Raven\'s memory, momentarily making his psyche chaotic. After assorting everything neatly, he heard Geezer said:
"You walk the path of Spacetime, this [Voidwalking Manual] and [Myriad Incarnations Scripture] should allow boost your survivability. I also passed down the [99 Destruction Seals] and the [99 Holy Seals] for you to observe."
"Right now, I only imparted the initial parts to you. If you want to get the later parts, then enter the Ancestral Palace of the Ancestral Divine Crown to get them. I left a ton of treasures there, its all up to you whether you can grab it or not. As for the materials needed for your cultivation, you search for them. Take it as a tempering exercise for you."
"Additionally, that ocular technique of yours? You\'re not using it properly. It placed details of it to you. Cultivate it properly and it shall aid you on staying alive."
"Normally, I would leave at least one defensive talisman, that contains my incarnation, to you. Unfortunately, I can\'t do that, so you have to rely on yourself and remain alive! Where there is life, there is also hope. Remember to be careful, careful, careful. I would hate to lose yet another disciple. I don\'t know how long I could stay like this."
"Alright, it\'s time for you to go. Make your breakthrough on the Eden I left at the crown. As your senior disciples to transport you there. Now shoo!" Geezer waved his hand and smiled warmly.
"Take care Master. Wait until this disciple is strong enough. I\'ll help you get out of that place." Raven stated as he could feel his consciousness drifting away.
As soon as his figure dissipated, Old Man Geezer remained smiling as he said to himself: "Smelly brat, I appreciate your concern, but I\'m afraid that old me can\'t hold out for long."
He then stood up and his figure gradually dissipated, only his voice lingered on this swirling sea of Cosmic Wonder.
"I\'ll try my best to remain alive. After all, I\'m a little unwilling to go before I witness you ascending. Hahaha!"

\'Ugh…\'
Raven felt his mind dizzy as his consciousness returned to his body. He blinked multiple times before standing up, and feeling his body sore. He shook his head and gradually recalled everything that happened just now.
He let out a long sigh, there is a strange feeling in his heart as he muttered inwardly: \'My road to the top became a little too challenging. But nothing really changes. Only by gaining strength would I have the chance to protect my family and loved ones from harm.\'
\'It would be nice if I could help them live eternally, but I reckon that my parents wouldn\'t want that. Sigh, let\'s just let nature take its course. I\'ll just grab every opportunity I could.\'
He then sat cross-legged and started viewing the inheritances that his master gave him.
Due to the instructions of Master Geezer, he didn\'t take a look at the Second Chapter of the Book of Chaos. He didn\'t even touch the inspirations he left for the final chapter at all.
Instead, he focused on the techniques which was imparted to him.
\'Damn, I was too pre-occupied that I completely ignored the fact that I just fused Space and Time Laws. I unknowingly fulfilled Old Master Tenrou\'s wish, which should settle the bind of Karma between us. Still, Spacetime Laws, huh? Tsk, things just got complicated. Thankfully, Master Geezer gave me these techniques. With this, progressing should become rather easy.\'
The first technique that he viewed was the [Voidwalking Manual]. This manual is a comprehensive technique that allowed one\'s body to transform, enabling them to venture the ever-mysterious and dangerous Void. With this alone, there\'s nowhere he couldn\'t go.
Geezer imparted him the first tree stages, which he could cultivate with just his efforts alone. As for the rest, it required him to enter the Ancestral Castle to get it, and with his deductions, the materials needed to cultivate it might cause him to cry later on.
As the [Myriad Incarnations Scripture], its a heaven-defying technique that allowed him to split his soul multiple times and form them into Avatars that carry at least 20% of his total strength.
Cultivating the first stage allows him to create two avatars, the second stage allows him to have a total of five and the third stage gives him nine avatars. As for the stages beyond, he had no idea yet, but this is plenty enough!
Avatars are different from Clones. The former carried a wisp of will and the intelligence of its creator, which means that it\'s capable to thinking, deducing and many more compared to the latter. With this, he could handle multiple tasks all at once!
Though, just like the earlier technique, cultivating this might really cause him to sell all his belongings.
And as for the [99 Destruction Seals] and [99 Holy Seals], these are sources of inspirations.
Raven didn\'t really understand the mysteries behind them yet but he knows that his master wouldn\'t impart it to him without any reasons at all. He could somehow understand why he received the Destruction Seals but for the Holy Seals? That is something for him to find out later on.
He decided that he would meditate on them once he formed his Avatars, but for now he had other important matters to attend to.
Raven opened his eyes and saw Inos and Astrid sitting in front of him. Their expressions are a bit wonderful to behold.
"So? How does it feel to get conned?" Inos teased while holding his laughter, as for Astrid she didn\'t hold back at all.
"You guys..." Raven was speechless. He could only shake his head but he didn\'t really have time for this. "Let\'s talk later. It\'s about time for me to breakthrough. I\'ll trouble you two to send me to this Eden he spoke of."
Inos and Astrid looked at each other with eyes gleaming, the didn\'t say anything and nodded towards Raven.. With a wave of Astrid\'s hands, Raven\'s silhouette disappeared from their view.
