Chapter 67: Immortal's Legacy? Not Interested
The remnant soul of Scarlet Cloud Immortal emerged, causing a wave of shock among the onlookers. After all, the appearance of Scarlet Cloud Immortal's remnant soul indicated that someone was about to obtain the immortal's legacy. However, as they gazed, a sense of familiarity struck them.
Soon, someone made the connection, their gaze darting between Scarlet Cloud's remnant soul and the coffin-bound figure with his dark green skin.
"Why... does this seem so similar?"
After a moment, it dawned on everyone. No wonder it felt familiar—Scarlet Cloud Immortal's appearance was an exact replica of that extortionist figure from earlier! The only difference was that Scarlet Cloud Immortal's remnant soul exuded an aura of an immortal, draped in Daoist robes that fluttered in the breeze, and a benevolent smile.
In contrast, the coffin-bound figure with its dark green skin maintained a cold smile, occasional muscle twitches making it even more eerie.The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
Yet, their similarities were striking—almost ninety percent alike!
Before anyone could inquire about Scarlet Cloud's remnant soul, they witnessed it stumble.
"What! Why is my corpse here!?"
"It's been refined into a Boundless Realm Corpse Puppet, damn it! We're done... completely done!"
Scarlet Cloud Immortal's remnant soul widened its eyes, staring hopelessly at the body that once belonged to it. Seeing that the body had already reached the Boundless Realm, it was clear that the prodigies present today were destined to perish!
After waiting for over five thousand years, finally achieving the talent of Saint-tier, and even breaking through the first defensive array, it was all turning into dust! His remnant soul could only impart techniques; it was utterly incapable of contending against the Boundless Realm Corpse Puppet.
"Tsk, look at yourself, why panic so much? It really makes me feel embarrassed... Seriously."
Upon seeing this, the Corpse Puppet sneered, a hint of mockery in its words.
"Shut up."
Leng Yanran frowned and whispered a rebuke to the coffin-bound figure.
"Alright Miss, I'll seal my mouth, won't speak anymore!"
For a moment, everyone awaited Leng Yanran's response. Some were so anxious for her to accept that they wished they could answer on her behalf. After all, this was an immortal's legacy. Although Scarlet Cloud Immortal ultimately failed to ascend to the Immortal Realm, the techniques were genuine and could be cultivated all the way to transcending the Heavenly Tribulation!
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in your legacy."
Leng Yanran rejected his proposal nonchalantly, her gaze fixed on his remnant soul.
"Alright then, I will impart my sect's techniques to you. I hope you won't disappoint... huh? What did you just say?"
Seeing Leng Yanran start speaking, Scarlet Cloud Immortal nodded as if in a daze, intending to begin transmitting his immortal-grade techniques to her. But suddenly, he realized he was still standing in the same spot, staring blankly. Did he hear her correctly?
This woman seemed to... not be interested in his immortal-grade techniques!?
Not only was Scarlet Cloud Immortal bewildered, but even the people present were dumbfounded. How could she reject even immortal-grade techniques?
Li Shenruo stared at Leng Yanran in disbelief, unable to fathom how she could make such a choice. Could it be that her master also cultivated immortal-grade techniques?
"You might not be aware, but although I only reached the Consummation of the Divinity Separation Realm before meeting a bitter end, the techniques I cultivated were indeed immortal-grade.
"If not for being schemed against, I had the hope of transcending the Heavenly Tribulation and becoming an immortal! Once you accept my legacy, you're destined to go further than me in the future. Achieving immortality is not impossible!"
Thinking that Leng Yanran might not understand the value of immortal-grade techniques, Scarlet Cloud Immortal hastened to explain.
"I already told you, I'm not interested. You better ask her if she wants to learn."
Leng Yanran, irritated by Scarlet Cloud Immortal's words, displayed impatience, gesturing towards Li Shenruo who was standing like a statue.
"This... Alright then, since it's like this, I won't force you, miss."
Scarlet Cloud Immortal felt a headache coming on. He glanced at the Corpse Puppet that Leng Yanran had subdued, deciding not to dwell on it further.
Re-adjusting his attitude, he turned his gaze towards Li Shenruo and asked, "Are you willing to accept my inheritance?"
