Legacy!
Ye Xuan tugged at Yun Qi’s sleeve and said, “That’s too blunt.”
Yun Qi shook her head. “Being blunt is better.”
At that moment, the middle-aged man suddenly asked, “Is the young lady from the Northern Sect?”
Yun Qi nodded. “Yes.”
The man smiled faintly. “I once met your ancestor.”
Yun Qi immediately grinned. “So, you’ll give me your legacy, right?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The man fell silent.
Yun Qi blinked. “If you don’t give it… I might have to…”
The man laughed. “Rob me?”
Yun Qi sized him up and asked, “How much of your peak strength do you have now?”
The man chuckled. “You’re sizing up my strength to make your decision, aren’t you?”
Yun Qi nodded.
The man smiled. “Honestly, I’d like to pass my legacy to the young man beside you.”
Yun Qi quickly said, “He doesn’t want it.”
She turned to Ye Xuan. “Right?”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “If he insists on giving it, I’ll take it.”
Yun Qi tugged at his sleeve, reminding him, “You can’t beat me.”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The man suddenly said, “Your meeting me here is fate.”
He looked at Yun Qi. “I can split the legacy in two, one for each of you.”
With that, he opened his hands, and two black scrolls floated toward Ye Xuan and Yun Qi.
Yun Qi glanced at her scroll and put it away.
Ye Xuan quickly stored his as well, and both turned their eager gazes back to the man.
The wealth hadn’t been divided yet.
Seeing their looks, the man was momentarily speechless.
Why did these two act like bandits?
He opened his palm, and two storage rings floated to them, each containing ten million dao crystals.
Ten million.
Ye Xuan frowned.
So little?
Meanwhile, Yun Qi’s face lit up with a smile. So much?
Ye Xuan wasn’t disappointed by the amount but surprised. This man was a Heavenly End Realm expert.
Only this many dao crystals?
Or had he underestimated the Law God’s wealth?
At that moment, the Great Dao Pen suddenly said, “It’s normal. A Heavenly End Realm expert is powerful, but he’s just one person. The Law God oversees countless universal laws. If she wanted to embezzle, the amount would be unimaginable.”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Then the Dao God must be even richer.”
Great Dao Pen: “…”
The man suddenly smiled. “Can you two do me a small favour?”
Yun Qi nodded. “Tell us.”
The man looked at Ye Xuan, who hesitated, then said, “Go ahead.”
The man smiled. “After that battle, my clan likely hasn’t fared well. I’ve given you both a share of my legacy, but I’ve kept one more. I hope you’ll deliver it to my clan. If possible, please look after them in the future.”
Yun Qi nodded. “No problem.”
Ye Xuan nodded too. “No problem.”
The man smiled faintly. “Thank you.”
He opened his palm, and a scroll floated to them, accompanied by a jade pendant.
He added, “Activate this pendant, and you can contact my clan.”
Yun Qi nodded slightly. “We’ll take care of it.”
The man smiled. “Thank you.”
With that, his body began to fade.
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Senior, did the Dao God of the Dao Realm fall?”
The man paused, then said, “She was cast into the Ruins.”
The Ruins.
Ye Xuan said nothing.
The man continued, “Of course, that no longer matters to us. Back then, we were ambitious but fragile as paper.”
He shook his head with a smile. “All laws, all empty.”
Ye Xuan remained silent, sighing softly.
The man suddenly asked, “Young friend, are you cultivating the Ancient Battle Body?”
Ye Xuan was surprised. “Senior, you know of the Ancient Battle Body?”
The man nodded. “Yes. I once met that Ancient Girl. We invited her here, and she agreed, but for some reason, she didn’t come.”
Ye Xuan said, “She fought the Master of the Great Dao Pen, lost, and was suppressed.”
The man said softly, “I see.”
Ye Xuan added, “But from what I know, Ancient Girl was only at the Order Realm.”
The man smiled. “She’s not that simple. Though only at the Order Realm, she could reach the Heavenly End Realm anytime. She suppressed her realm, aiming to perfect the Order Realm before naturally ascending. Quite remarkable.”
Ye Xuan finally understood. Ancient Girl had hidden her true strength.
The man suddenly said, “Since you cultivate the Ancient Battle Body, I have another gift for you.”
Ye Xuan quickly asked, “What gift?”
The man smiled. “Did you notice the black specks outside the star gate?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
The man said, “Those are the Dao Thunder, left by the Dao God and sealed here by me. But as my consciousness weakens, I can no longer contain them. You can help solve this.”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Absorb the Dao Thunder?”
The man nodded. “With your Ancient Battle Body, absorbing them will elevate it further.”
Ye Xuan said, “But my body can’t withstand them.”
The man smiled. “You’ve overlooked your Ancient Battle Body’s cultivation method. When you leave, use the Ancient Battle Heart Technique. Trust me, it will let you absorb the Dao Thunder.”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “I’ll try later.”
The man nodded and looked at Ye Xuan, hesitating before saying, “I’m about to vanish from this world. Can you answer one question?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Go ahead, Senior.”
The man looked at him. “Are you challenging the order of the Master of the Great Dao Pen?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then nodded.
The man burst into laughter. “Good. Very good.”
With that, he vanished completely.
Ye Xuan’s expression was complex.
He knew the man’s generosity likely stemmed from this.
At that moment, Ye Xuan felt a pang of reflection. If he established his own order and it later faltered, would countless others rise against him?
Yun Qi suddenly said, “Let’s go.”
Ye Xuan snapped out of his thoughts, nodded, and they left the starry expanse. Outside, Ye Xuan looked at the Dao Thunder and turned to Yun Qi. “Can you guard me?”
Yun Qi nodded. “Sure.”
Ye Xuan blinked. “Is there a fee?”
Yun Qi said, “Give what you think is fair.”
Ye Xuan was speechless but didn’t dwell on it. He sat cross-legged and activated the Ancient Battle Body Heart Technique. Soon, the surrounding Dao Thunder began to tremble.
Ye Xuan said, “Miss Yun Qi, let a little Dao Thunder in first.”
He didn’t dare absorb too much at once. His body couldn’t handle it yet, so he had to take it slowly.
Hearing him, Yun Qi nodded and released a small amount of Dao Thunder. As it entered his body, Ye Xuan trembled violently, his body corroding bit by bit.
He frantically circulated the heart technique. Soon, countless tiny golden lights appeared on his body, and the Dao Thunder was absorbed.
Boom.
His body shuddered intensely.
Ye Xuan was alarmed. He had underestimated the Dao Thunder’s terrifying power.
Yun Qi looked at him. “You okay?”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “I’m fine. I can handle it.”
Yun Qi nodded slightly. “You better hold on, or everything you have is mine.”
Ye Xuan nearly spat blood.
Damn.
Was this woman eyeing his possessions?
He quickly calmed himself.
Her words almost broke his focus.
Ignoring her, he continued circulating the heart technique. His body gradually absorbed the Dao Thunder.
Yun Qi watched curiously, her gaze like she was eyeing a treasure.
About an hour later, Ye Xuan began absorbing more Dao Thunder. His body was adapting, thrilling him.
As the man said, absorbing all the Dao Thunder would elevate his Ancient Battle Body further.
Time passed slowly. Seeing Ye Xuan’s body transform, Yun Qi felt a twinge of regret.
Suddenly, Ye Xuan accelerated his absorption. Countless Dao Thunder surged toward him.
His body had fully adapted.
He had underestimated both his body and the heart technique.
The Ancient Battle Body Heart Technique was truly extraordinary.
Three days later, Ye Xuan had absorbed all the surrounding Dao Thunder.
Sitting in mid-air, his body trembled faintly. After an unknown time, it calmed.
Yun Qi, watching curiously, sensed the profound change in his body.
Ye Xuan opened his eyes, and two black thunderbolts flashed within them.
Boom.
A terrifying aura erupted from him, causing the surrounding space to boil, with countless lightning bolts tearing through.
Ye Xuan took a deep breath, opened his palm, and clenched it. Instantly, the sky cracked into a spiderweb pattern.
Yun Qi nodded slightly. “Your body’s tough. You’d make a great meat shield.”
Ye Xuan: “…”
…
