Chapter 9 - Death

Their were many bottles of pills lying around for who knows how long immediately Jiang Hao started to grab all of these and bunch then together when he realized something. "How do I store these again?" For the herbs Jiang Hao just used a old bag he found in his house but to carry this many bottles he would need something bigger than just a bag. Looking around Jiang Hao found a ring on a stone table. He walked over and picked up the ring examining it not really able to figure out what it was. He then remembered his mother had a similar one on her finger. "An odd fashion choice maybe, but why would my mom care about fashion in our state. It must have some use." Jiang Hao started to ponder when he thought past how items could random appear out if thin air then disappear. Jiang Tan brought the cauldron and books out of her space ring so he saw this for the first time.

Jiang Hao then walked out the door while looking for his mother. Looking through a few doors he finally found her making things disappear. "Mom what's this" Jiang Hao held up the ring while he looked at Jiang Tan. "Oh you found a storage ring try to pour some of your spiritual power into the ring" Hearing this he immediately did so when he felt he knew exactly what was in the ring. He thought about on of the items and it appeared infront of him it was a pill bottle. He then tried to put it back with a thought and it disappeared. He immediately thanked his mother before running back to his room to clean up the bottles.

Time pasted quickly and after 2 hours all but one room was searched. So far all they gained was pills, recipes, a few artifacts, and a ring that jiang Hao is wearing currently. Jiang Hao was very excited to look in the next room while Jiang Tan was frowning seemly thinking about something. Her face then darkened as she tried to call out to jiang Hao but he already was halfway through the door. putting that aside she used a movement technique to appear right behind jiang Hao when she reached out to grab him though she staggered back a few steps, a barrier appearing infront of her. Her face immediately paled as she started to bang on the barrier trying to get Jiang Hao to stop but unfortunately it didn't have any effect.

Jiang Hao walked into the room when a light filled him vision and he saw a different scene around him. It was a big hall filled with books, herbs, Artifacts, and raw materials on the ground. He was thrilled to be able to see all of this knowing his harvest will be huge. Jiang Hao indiscriminately started to grab the closest things to him which just happened to be the raw materials. Jiang Hao was putting then into the storage ring when he saw something shining under all of them.

After my moving all the other items out the way he found a golden bone the same size as his while arm. He has no clue what it was so he just looked at it for clues. all it seems like to him though was a normal bone that was just shining. He soon pushed his spiritual power into the bone when immediately his consciousness was dragged into the bone and his body fell to the ground.

Inside of the bone Jiang Hao appeared in his soul form as he was floating above the stars. Infront of him however was a person but this person definitely wasn't ordinary. He had gold and black horns, sharp eyes, and a tail, just looking at him immediately made Jiang Hao want to kneel but he managed to resist. "Just who are you? And where am I?" Jiang Hao immediately asked the most pressing questions on his mind. The man laughed "hoho, just a young child managed to be accepted. I am the Void Dragon ruler of space and the sky's. Where are you well your standing with the stars currently." Jiang Hao was confused, wasn't he just in a cave mansion? Before he could ask more his thoughts were interrupted. "How many years has it been since I've seen someone? Thousands if not millions of years, I'm sadly reduced to this a flickering soul remnant. I remember only one person a weak middle aged man who had an odd love of music singing or playing music whenever he could." Jiang Hao stood their silently as he listened to this dragons story with much interest.

"I taught him how to increase his strength and guided him through Cultivation slowly becoming the strongest person in the world. Or so he thought, When he reached the known pinnacle although I told him their was a higher realm he didn't listen thinking now one that strong will ever attack him. But how wrong he was, he was invaded at first he managed to protect the world he ruled but slowly he was pushed back till he died leaving me to have to unmerge from his body. I gave him a task in exchange for teaching him and for the full inheritance but he never completed the task I left him in our agreement. Years passed so many I lost count when you appeared, much Weaker than him and I won't be able to teach you anything but how to refine the bone to gain my full inheritance due to my soul about to fully dissolve from this plain. So no time to waste you will get my fully inheritance along with most of my memories, I hope you can find the void pheniox and grow to the absolute summit with her, whoever she may be."

The void dragon formed a white light on his finger tip before sending it to Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao felt nothing at first and just watched the man smile before he disappeared. Next thing he knew he a massive pain assaulted his head. He collapsed to the floor holding his head as it was filled with tons of information. He rolled on the ground tears coming out of his eyes. Slowly his vision darkened getting ready to pass out "I can't pass out now this is a massive chance for me to grow stronger saying this he did everything he could to stay awake as the pain assaulted him.

Finally after 2 hours the pain weakened allowing Jiang Hao to look move normally. When Jiang Hao looked up he saw that he was back in the herbs garden with the bone in front of him, but the sky was dark and all thst he could see was stars. Jiang Hao grabbed the bone and was about to go find his mother not knowing the exact number but knowing tons of time had passed and didn't want to get in trouble. But when he touched the bone he collapsed in pain as all of his bones broke while his organs exploded. 'Am I going to die like this? No I can't I have to live I haven't even lost my virginity yet and I'm already dying?' His vital signs soon faded and left in his place was an exploded corpse showing no signs of life.
