The Inheritor
Crack! Crack!
The sound of the dream shattering rang in his ears. At this moment, the figure of the old man in sackcloth became even more blurry, like smoke or fog. It was obvious that he was about to completely dissipate and return to the world.
Chu Xingyun stopped laughing and stared at the old man with burning eyes. Finally, he said, "Thank you for your help, senior. Please accept a bow from Chu Xingyun."
With that, he bent his back and bowed deeply to the old man.
Chu Xingyun gained a deeper understanding of the Star Celestial Immortal Sect from the old man, especially Sui Luochu. Countless thoughts appeared in his mind.
Other than that, his battle with the old man in the linen robe had verified his thoughts on the Chaos Sword Dao.
Although the Chaos Sword Principle was still in its embryonic form and could not be used in the real world, it was still on the right track. It could allow Chu Xingyun to unleash the full potential of the Black Hole Epee. That alone was precious enough.
His gains were huge, so it was natural for him to bow and thank the old man.
The old man stretched out his hand and slowly helped Chu Xingyun up. He said with a smile, "I should be the one thanking you. Not only did you satisfy my final wish, you even gave me such a satisfying and intense battle. Even if I were to be reduced to ashes, I would still be able to smile in the underworld."
"Furthermore …" The old man dragged out his words as he tapped his finger in the air. Immediately, a halo of light appeared in front of him, and within the halo, a familiar figure could be seen. It was none other than Baili Kuangsheng.
At this time, Baili Kuangsheng was standing on the steps of memory. His eyes were slightly closed as if he had entered into an endless state of comprehension. However, his steps did not stop because of this. He continued to climb upwards.
At this moment, he was standing on the 78th step.
"Your friend is extremely talented. Not only does he possess the Light Annihilation Sword Essence, but his mind is complete and flawless. The sword aura emanating from his body coincides with my Heaven-splitting Sword Essence. If the two are perfectly combined, it will definitely create a peerless genius!"
"Most importantly, this kid's will is firm, and his natural talent isn't inferior to you. So long as he's able to cultivate steadily, then perhaps he'll be able to create his own Sword Dao in the near future. At that time, he'll be able to represent me and fight you once more!"
At the end of his words, the old man in the linen robe laughed loudly. However, this time, Chu Xingyun did not laugh. He stared at the old man, as if he was trying to imprint Chu Xingyun's face into his mind.
The hemp-clothed old man stopped laughing. He patted Chu Xingyun's shoulder and said, "To be able to meet you before I turn into ashes is a great fortune. I hope you can carry on my obsession and properly cultivate. In the future, when you officially step into the Emperor realm, you will be able to experience the mysteries of the Emperor realm."
After saying this, the old man in the linen robe raised his wine cup and looked at Chu Xingyun from afar.
"Of course, in this life, I will definitely become Emperors." Chu Xingyun said and raised his cup as well.
Clap!
The wine cups clinked and the two drank the wine.
Chu Xingyun put down his wine cup and turned around. He walked towards the exit of the dreamscape without looking back. Behind him, the dreamscape began to collapse inch by inch. However, the old man in the linen robe stared at him with eyes that were still filled with divine light.
At this moment, a series of buzzing sounds were heard. Behind the old man in the linen robe, a bright halo suddenly appeared. Baili Kuangsheng's figure walked out of the halo and stood in the middle of the dreamscape.
He glanced at his surroundings. The dreamscape space was collapsing. Sword light flashed one after another, and it seemed a little chaotic. The old man in linen robes floated in front of him, and even further away, there was another figure that he was even more familiar with.
"Luo Yun!" Baili Kuangsheng called out. However, Chu Xingyun didn't seem to hear him. His body turned into a ray of light and disappeared, leaving the dreamscape.
"You are Baili Kuangsheng, right?" The old man in the linen robe spoke, pulling Baili Kuangsheng back from his thoughts. His voice became more and more weak, no longer as confident as before.
"Yes." Baili Kuangsheng turned his head and bowed. Earlier, he had already ascended the eighty-one steps, and the insights he gained from the steps were all imprinted in the depths of his mind. These were all extremely precious treasures that would be of great help to him.
He treated the old man in the linen robe as his benefactor. Seeing that the old man's soul was about to disperse, how could he ignore him? He immediately treated him with respect.
"You possess the Light Annihilation Sword Intent, and your state of mind has undergone a baptism, becoming flawless. This time around, you've successfully passed the Stairway of Memories and arrived at this place. This means that you have the qualifications to receive my inheritance and become my successor." The old man's voice grew louder as he solemnly spoke, causing Baili Kuangsheng to be dumbstruck.
After passing through the steps of memory, Baili Kuangsheng knew that the old man in the linen robe was a Half-emperor. Such an existence was even stronger than the legendary Martial Emperors. He was already above the heavens and earth.
Moreover, his Light Annihilation sword intent and the old man's Heaven-sundering sword intent both belonged to the Light Sword Intent. They were extremely sharp and powerful. They could perfectly merge together and erupt with even more power.
If Baili Kuangsheng could receive the legacy, his strength would increase and he would no longer be confused about the direction of his cultivation. He would be able to stand on the shoulders of the old man in the linen robe and delve deeper into the mysteries of Sword Dao.
"Wait!" Baili Kuangsheng suddenly called out.
His gaze shifted to the direction where Chu Xingyun had left and he said to the old man in the linen robe, "Senior, Luo Yun's talent is not below mine. Moreover, he also comprehended the Light Sword Intent. Can he also receive senior's legacy?"
"I naturally know of his powerful talent. However, he is unwilling to accept my legacy." The old man in the linen robe did not say too much. At this moment, his figure was almost transparent. He immediately placed his hands on top of Baili Kuangsheng's head. A green light penetrated his body and turned into a torrent of information that surged into Baili Kuangsheng's mind.
As Baili Kuangsheng accepted the legacy of the old man in the linen robe, he recalled the words that had just been said. He thought to himself, "Luo Yun is unwilling to accept the legacy. Could it be that he wants to give it to me and let me inherit it alone?"
Baili Kuangsheng did not know what had happened in the dream. He also did not know that Chu Xingyun wanted to create his own Sword Dao. Therefore, he was unwilling to accept the legacy of the old man in the linen robe.
Therefore, at this moment, he had such thoughts and misunderstood all of this.
Weng!
Boundless amounts of information gushed into his mind. At this moment, Baili Kuangsheng could no longer continue to think. His heart trembled as he focused all his attention on the inheritance. Discarding all distracting thoughts, he began to wholeheartedly accept the inheritance.
At the same time, there was a flash of light and Chu Xingyun appeared outside the mausoleum.
He looked back at the mausoleum and discovered that the door to the mausoleum had already vanished. The huge shadow of the Lingtian Sword had also become illusory. It flickered in and out of existence, making it difficult to grasp.
"The legacy should have begun." Chu Xingyun murmured. Before he had even finished speaking, Su Jingan suddenly appeared. He shot up from below the shadow of the sword and arrived beside him.
"Luo Yun, you've been expelled as well?" Su Jingan's eyes widened as he said in disbelief.
As it turned out, Su Jingan was able to comprehend the experiences of the old man in the linen robe as he climbed up the stairs of memories. He was not a swordsman after all. Even though he was quite talented, it was difficult for him to comprehend anything immediately.
When he reached the seventy-second step, he finally could not withstand the pressure and was expelled from the stairs of memories. When he opened his eyes again, he had left the mausoleum.
Chu Xingyun sensed Su Jingan's thoughts very soon. He suddenly smiled bitterly. However, just when he was about to speak, three ear-piercing sounds rang out at an inappropriate time.
