229: Lying flat inheritance

The most outrageous thing was that Liu Linsheng didn't go looking for a Legacy.

Instead, the Legacy actively sought him out.

His luck was simply beyond words.

If others knew, they would only say that Liu Linsheng deserved to be struck by lightning!

They toiled tirelessly and still might not obtain a Legacy left by a Xiantian Realm expert, yet Liu Linsheng, on the other hand, had a Dian Ling Realm Legacy actively come knocking at his door.

Was there any justice left?

Was there any law left?

In fact, quite a few people did witness Liu Linsheng receiving the Legacy.

As they got closer to the Cultivation Method Cliff, the number of Martial Artists gradually increased.

Not far away, many Martial Artists noticed the situation here.

“My teeth are about to shatter; why isn’t it me who encountered the Legacy!”

“I hate it! I am just as outstanding, so why didn’t a Legacy actively seek me out!”

“A Dian Ling Realm Legacy, even if I tried my best, I would probably only obtain a Legacy of this level!”

“Oh, please! You're in the Houtian Chucheng Realm, and you want to obtain a Dian Ling Realm Legacy? If it were me, that would be more like it.”

“You are only at the Houtian Lesser Stage; why the Divine Qi?”

Everyone started discussing animatedly.

They were already envious to the point of jealousy, and jealous to the point of red eyes.

Shen Xi and his group's luck was simply too good, wasn't it?

Among them, the strongest, Shen Xi, was a formidable character capable of fighting Gu Tong.

Now, another person, Liu Linsheng, emerged having obtained a Dian Ling Realm Legacy. Just these two alone brought immense pressure to everyone.

If everyone also knew the combat strength of Liu Yiyi, Ye Zirou, and Chen Fang, they would surely be even more distraught.

How could they compare to such a force, and on what grounds could they compare?

As for Shen Xi and the others, they remained in a state of constant vigilance.

In this era, there were many who coveted Legacy, and furthermore, the process of Liu Linsheng receiving the Legacy inherently put him in a special state, making him prone to overlooking external situations.

Should some ignorant fellow dare to try and snatch Liu Linsheng's Legacy, they could provide support at any moment.

However, Shen Xi clearly underestimated his own influence.

No one was bold enough to dare to provoke him.

Right up until Liu Linsheng completely accepted the Legacy, no unexpected incidents occurred.

“Such a profound, such a formidable Legacy!”

Liu Linsheng slowly opened his eyes and spoke with deep emotion.

He had completely received this Legacy and was thoroughly captivated by its mysterious Cultivation Technique.

This Legacy followed the same Martial Dao path as his own Cultivation, but in terms of comprehension, it was simply not on the same Realm.

This enlightened Liu Linsheng; some things he previously didn't know or understand now suddenly became clear.

This was the importance of a Legacy.

A good Legacy could make a Martial Artist's future Dao path much smoother.

Not only that, but a Legacy also had a more significant meaning.

A complete Legacy not only included Cultivation Techniques, but also encompassed all aspects, including complementary movement techniques and so on.

It could be said that what Liu Linsheng obtained was the lifelong learning of a Dian Ling Realm expert.

“Old Liu, what kind of Legacy is this exactly?”

“Exactly! Just tell us roughly!”

“You're the first among us to obtain a Legacy; we're incredibly curious.”

Fatty and a few others spoke one after another.

If it were anyone else, asking such a question would seem particularly presumptuous.

After all, a Martial Artist's Cultivation Technique was their ultimate treasure; if others knew about it and found a way to counter it, it could very likely bring about their demise.

But their relationship was unusual; even asking these things didn't seem abrupt or awkward. Furthermore, everyone was very sensible and merely wanted to inquire about the general idea.

“I obtained the Legacy of someone named Daoist Xiaoyao. This Senior entered the Martial Dao through 'Xiaoyao' ( Free and Easy - carefree/unfettered), and his Cultivation path emphasized freedom. Normally, pressure is the driving force for a Martial Artist's Cultivation, but this Senior was different. His philosophy was that instead of facing pressure, it's better to lie flat. Unexpectedly, by lying flat, he eventually lay flat all the way to the Dian Ling Realm.”

Liu Linsheng roughly explained.

Within the Legacy, there were not only various Cultivation Techniques but also the life story of the person who left the Legacy.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gape in shock.

Daoist Xiaoyao?

Free and unfettered?

That name wasn't problematic.

Don't Martial Artists strive to become stronger precisely for great freedom and great unfetteredness, to be free from any threats and unconstrained by anything?

The only surprising thing was that this Senior's Cultivation method was a bit too outrageous.

Lying flat?

He reached the Dian Ling Realm just by lying flat?

How could those strong individuals who struggled their entire lives and might still be stuck in the Houtian Realm at the end of it all feel about this?

Comparing people leads to death, comparing goods leads to discarding them—this moment was described vividly.

“However… Daoist Xiaoyao Senior's Heart-Nature is somewhat similar to yours. No wonder the Legacy he left behind ultimately chose you.”

Even Shen Xi couldn't help but lose his composure, and it took him a long time to utter that sentence.

This was a path he had never considered.

This made Shen Xi involuntarily rub his forehead.

Of course, existence is reasonable.

Even if Shen Xi didn't understand, he respected it.

Similarly, he would not choose such a path.

It can be said that different Martial Artists have vastly different Cultivation methods, and not every one is suitable for oneself. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a situation where Martial Artists and Legacy choose each other.

A suitable Legacy yields twice the result with half the effort.

An unsuitable Legacy yields half the result with twice the effort.

“Shall we continue forward?”

Chen Fang spoke.

Liu Linsheng obtaining the Legacy was an encouragement and an inspiration for everyone.

This made everyone even more eager to find a Legacy suitable for themselves.

“Let's go!”

Shen Xi led the way.

Everyone quickly followed behind.

The path ahead was almost identical to before.

There were no surprises, nor any dangers.

Everyone smoothly reached the depths of the plain, and the Cultivation Method Cliff was right before their eyes.

This made everyone a little excited.

The Cultivation Method Cliff was the main source of Legacy.

Most of the Martial Dao Five Realms level Legacies were on the Cultivation Method Cliff.

Situations like Liu Linsheng obtaining a Dian Ling Realm Legacy in the middle of the plain were truly one in ten thousand, if not rarer.

Because of this, everyone was already eager to ascend the Cultivation Method Cliff.

Even the Legacies at the foot of the mountain were of the Dian Ling Realm level!

“Phew! After countless hardships, we finally reached the Cultivation Method Cliff. It really wasn't easy.”

Fatty wiped the sweat from his forehead. As the heaviest person present, such a long journey indeed brought him a certain burden.

However, his words made the surrounding Martial Artists roll their eyes involuntarily.
