The legacy is being returned; the secret realm is about to end.
Emperor Rank Aptitude! Even with Xu Nuo's cold and detached Heart-Nature, hearing this term caused her to gasp, her beautiful eyes looking in shock at the calm Chen Yuan beside her.
Emperor Rank—that was a Supreme talent that only existed in ancient legends!
The phantom of the Qingtian Supreme was excited for a moment, then looked at Xu Nuo, satisfaction also appearing in its eyes: "This young girl is also not bad. Her Sword Heart is clear, her Foundation is solid, and she possesses a Saint Grade Aptitude that is one in ten thousand. She is indeed a rare and precious talent!"
A Saint Grade Aptitude, in any era or any Sect, would be enough to be cultivated as a core true disciple, and it would be enough to cause a sensation.
But at this moment, beneath the dazzling radiance of Chen Yuan's "Emperor Rank," it appeared somewhat eclipsed.
After the excitement, the phantom of the Qingtian Supreme gradually calmed down. He looked at the two of them, his tone regaining its previous majesty, but it also carried a hint of regret:
"However, I only have one core Legacy, which is the 'Qingtian Creation Scripture' that represents my life's work. It points directly to the Body Integration Dao and contains many Divine Abilities and secret techniques. This Legacy can only be bestowed upon one person."
His gaze hovered between Chen Yuan and Xu Nuo.
From the perspective of Aptitude, Chen Yuan was undoubtedly the best candidate in an eternity; with an Emperor Rank Aptitude paired with his 'Qingtian Creation Scripture,' his future achievements would be limitless.
But Xu Nuo's Saint Grade Aptitude was also extremely rare; it would be a pity to give it up.
However, in his heart, he was still more inclined towards Chen Yuan, and he believed that Chen Yuan would not give up such a tremendous Opportunity.
The atmosphere in the main hall became subtle.
The complete Legacy of a Body Integration power was of immeasurable value, enough to drive any Cultivator crazy.
Xu Nuo pursed her lips, her cold eyes glancing at Chen Yuan beside her, and she subconsciously gripped the sword in her hand tighter.
She knew that in terms of Aptitude and potential, she was far inferior to Chen Yuan.
This Legacy should rightfully belong to him.
Just as her thoughts were complex, Chen Yuan suddenly stepped forward, cupped his hands towards the phantom of the Qingtian Supreme, his tone calm and frank:
"Qingtian Senior, this Junior is willing to give up the qualification for this Legacy."
"What?!"
Once these words were spoken, not only was Xu Nuo stunned, but even the phantom of the Qingtian Supreme revealed a trace of astonishment.
"Kid, have you thought this through? This Supreme Legacy is a Body Integration inheritance!" The Qingtian Supreme couldn't help but remind him; he truly could not understand why someone would voluntarily give up such an Opportunity.
Chen Yuan smiled slightly, his eyes clear: "This Junior has thought it through. Senior also said that Fellow Daoist Xu possesses a Saint Grade Aptitude, which is also one in ten thousand."
His tone was peaceful, but in his heart, he was thinking, 'Favorability is about to break 60! Break 60 quickly!'
Xu Nuo stared blankly at Chen Yuan's profile, watching him give up this heaven-defying Opportunity that could shake the entire Eastern Wasteland to her without hesitation, and it felt as if something had violently struck her heart.
An indescribable and complex emotion surged in her heart.
Why... did he do this?
[Ding, detected that Xu Nuo's favorability towards the Host has reached 60 (Has affection). Binding requirements met, does the Host wish to bind?]
"Bind!" Chen Yuan replied in his heart.
[Ding, binding successful, triggering binding reward. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining an Emperor Rank Flying Sword — Nether Wind Sword.]
Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a faint anticipation in his heart. Having offered a Body Integration Opportunity to someone else, what would the System return?
The phantom of the Qingtian Supreme looked deeply at Chen Yuan, as if trying to see something in his eyes. Finally, he sighed:
"Good! Your Heart-Nature is broad, and with your Emperor Rank Aptitude, you are truly extraordinary! Originally, I was inclined towards you, but since that is the case..."
He turned to Xu Nuo and said solemnly: "Young girl, this 'Qingtian Creation Scripture' shall be bestowed upon you! I hope you will Cultivate diligently, do not waste this Opportunity, and also do not waste... this little friend's act of yielding!"
As the words fell, a golden ball of light flew from the hand of the Qingtian Supreme's phantom and slowly merged into Xu Nuo's brow.
Immediately after, a storage ring expanded from the hand of the Qingtian Supreme's phantom. "This is my life's savings."
After speaking, he tossed the storage ring to Xu Nuo.
After Xu Nuo received the storage ring, the System's notification sound rang out at the right time.
[Ding, detected that the Host yielded a Body Integration Legacy, which includes the Saint Grade Cultivation Technique 'Qingtian Creation Scripture', Emperor Rank Flying Sword * 3, emperor rank dharma artifact * 4, Half-step Saint Grade Magical Artifact * 1, 7th-grade Medicinal Pill * 56, 2000 Spirit Crystals. ... Triggering thousand-fold return, congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Supreme Grade Cultivation Technique: 'Nine Luminaries Heart Scripture'.]
[Emperor, Saint, God, Supreme (The strongest grade below Immortal grade).]
[Triggering thousand-fold return, congratulations to the Host for obtaining Saint Grade Flying Sword * 4. Triggering hundred-fold return, congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Half-step God Grade Magical Artifact: taibao gray ghost dice. Effect: The six faces of the dice are engraved with the ancient seal characters "Detain, Entangle, Dissipate, Steal, Illusion, Summon"; after throwing, trigger the corresponding divine power based on the number.]
[... Triggering ten-thousand-fold return, congratulations to the Host for obtaining 20 million Spirit Crystals...]
The System's melodious notifications were endless, filling Chen Yuan with great joy.
He had no use for the Supreme Grade Cultivation Technique, so he could give it to little Baixi, Xue'er, and Linger.
What surprised Chen Yuan the most was those 20 million Spirit Crystals.
Above Soul Transformation is Void Return. Upon reaching this level, the spiritual energy within High-Grade Spirit Stones could no longer satisfy the requirements for Cultivation, unless accumulated in massive quantities.
1 Spirit Crystal = 10,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones.
A Soul Transformation Family could only produce a few thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones at once; a Soul Transformation Family that had stood for ten thousand years would have at most ten thousand.
And for a newly ascended Void Return Dao Lord, breaking through to the Middle Stage of Dao Lord requires at least ten Spirit Crystals.
It can be said that the distance between Void Return and Soul Transformation is a vast starry sky.
"Young girl, do not waste this Venerable's Legacy." The Qingtian Supreme admonished again.
"Rest assured, Supreme, this young girl will certainly Cultivate with focus and restore the Venerable's Legacy."
"Hmm." The Qingtian Supreme nodded with satisfaction, waved his large hand, and a ball of light instantly enveloped Chen Yuan and Xu Nuo.
Suddenly, Chen Yuan felt the world spinning around him. When his vision steadied, he was already back in the canyon in front of the main hall.
Suddenly, a grand voice, as if coming from above the Nine Heavens, resounded throughout the entire Heavenly Treasure Secret Realm.
Every Cultivator in the Secret Realm could hear it clearly:
"I am the Qingtian Supreme!"
These simple six words, carrying the Supreme pressure of an Integration Supreme, caused the entire Secret Realm to instantly fall silent!
All Cultivators, regardless of their cultivation level, felt their hearts and minds shake, involuntarily stopping their actions to listen intently.
"My Legacy has been obtained by someone destined. The mission of this Heavenly Treasure Secret Realm is complete!"
The grand voice continued to reverberate:
"Three hours from now, the Secret Realm will be completely sealed, and all outsiders will be teleported out. From now on, the Heavenly Treasure Secret Realm will sink into the Void Realm forever and never open again!"
"To the one who obtained my Legacy, I hope you use it well and do not tarnish my name!"
The voice stopped abruptly there.
However, the entire Secret Realm was like a pot that had exploded, instantly boiling over!
"The Legacy has been obtained!"
"Who is it?! Who obtained the Body Integration Legacy!"
"There are only three hours left! Hurry! Seize the time to find the remaining Opportunities!"
"The Secret Realm will never open again... This is the last chance!"
