154: Chapter 154 Take a deep breath, dizziness is normal~

"I don't want it!"

Chen Yan's voice wasn't loud, yet it was firm and resolute!

The arrogant smile on the face of the old man, who was the manifestation of the Will of the Immortal Abode, instantly froze.

He seemed to have never imagined that anyone would refuse so bluntly when faced with such a massive Opportunity!

But then, seeing the disdain in Chen Yan's eyes, he narrowed his own and let out a cold laugh.

Could this kid be so inexperienced that he didn't know the weight of the name "Immortal Venerable Lihuo"?

"Ignorance breeds fearlessness... Boy, I shall let you know the true significance of my Lihuo Immortal Abode!"

With a wide sweep of his hand,

A massive scroll unfurled within the space.

Upon the scroll, colors flowed with divine radiance and innate charm, continuously evolving into countless heaven-shaking Divine Abilities and profound methods!

Chen Yan's gaze was instantly drawn to it.

He saw a White-clothed Sword Immortal in the scroll; with a single swing of his sword, Sword Qi spanned a million miles!

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, even the brilliance of the stars in the sky dimmed in its wake!

He then saw an alchemist manipulating the sun and moon, plucking a star from the sky with his bare hands to refine it into a supreme Divine Pill!

There was also a Formation Grandmaster who, with a lift of his hand, laid down a heaven-reaching Formation chart, trapping a Saint Realm Demonized Vicious Beast within and refining it into nothingness!

Each image represented a type of Divine Ability and profound method!

And every single Divine Ability and method was enough to make the Holy Lands and Sects of the outside world fight to the death over them!

The old man's voice rang out again, filled with endless temptation:

"What you see here is but a mere fraction of the complete Legacy of this Lihuo Immortal Abode."

"Now, as long as you nod your head!"

"All of this—even this entire Immortal Abode—will be yours."

"You will become the sole Revered Master of the Lihuo Immortal Abode from this day forward!"

Chen Yan's Adam's apple bobbed unconsciously.

To be honest, looking at those world-destroying supreme Divine Abilities in the scroll, anyone who wasn't moved wouldn't be human!

He had even begun to fantasize about the days after inheriting the Immortal Abode's Legacy: becoming the CEO, winning over his Revered Master, and reaching the Peak of his life!

But as an aspiring youth of the new era!

Years of experience reading web novels told him,

Unsolicited kindness is either a trap or a trick!

Besides, this old man clearly had a face full of arrogance and looked down on him; why would he be so eager to hand over the Immortal Abode's Legacy?

Therefore!

Summing it up and rounding it off!

There was definitely a catch!

Chen Yan slowly withdrew his gaze, looked calmly at the old man, and asked coldly, "State your conditions. Or rather, what are you planning? Just say it plainly!"

Seeing how quickly he broke free from the temptation, another flash of admiration crossed the old man's eyes.

He chuckled softly and stated a condition that wasn't really a condition:

"The Legacy of the Lihuo Immortal Abode encompasses the Sword Dao, Pill Dao, and Formation Dao! Whichever path you choose, it is a Great Dao that leads directly to the Saint Realm!"

"However, its fundamental Mind-Cultivation Technique requires the practitioner to first sever the Seven Emotions and Six Desires!"

"Only with a heart free of attachments and a body free of external worries can one see through the world's illusions and focus solely on the Dao!"

The old man's voice was solemn and majestic, carrying an indifference that looked down upon all living beings.

In his view, which immortal cultivator wasn't a person of cold and detached nature?

Only by focusing on oneself could one Cultivate the Great Dao!

But these words fell upon Chen Yan's ears like a bolt from the blue.

"What the hell? What kind of nonsense is that?"

He almost exploded on the spot, pointing directly at the old man's nose and cursing!

"Sever the Seven Emotions and Six Desires?"

"What kind of international joke are you playing with me!"

"If I sever my emotions and desires, how am I supposed to be a Revered Master-rushing Rebellious Disciple?"

"Who will appreciate my Revered Master's Heaven-Defying long legs?"

"Who will admire those alluring black silk stockings and high heels?"

"Who will gaze with reverence at those breathtaking stunning Peaks and exquisite curves?"

"This godforsaken world is already boring enough, and you want to take away these motivations of mine?"

"Then what the f*ck am I even cultivating for!"

"If my life has no Seven Emotions and Six Desires, and no Revered Master, then what's the difference between me and a salted fish that only knows how to flip over!?"

Chen Yan's reaction was so intense that even the Will of the Immortal Abode was momentarily stunned.

The old man had thought Chen Yan might hesitate or struggle, but he never expected him to be so resistant!

He even seemed genuinely angry?

"Piss off, I'm not doing it! Whatever trash Legacy this is, give it to whoever you want, just stay the hell away from me!"

He had unexpectedly come to this cultivation world, not for longevity, and not for hegemony!

He just wanted to stay by his Revered Master's side forever, to watch over her, protect her, and eventually 'rush' her!

If it was purely for power and he had to lose his original intention, then he would rather not have it!

Besides!

He was a cheater with a System!

Given some time, he could show this old man a wholesale supply of these Divine Abilities and profound methods!

But seeing Chen Yan's stubbornness and his reactive behavior, the Will of the Immortal Abode also lost its patience!

The old man's originally kind face instantly became icy, and there was no longer a trace of warmth in his eyes.

A pressure terrifying to the extreme, like the Heavenly River pouring downward, pressed ruthlessly toward Chen Yan!

"The Lihuo Immortal Abode has never been discarded like a worn-out shoe! To be chosen is your blessing; it is not for you to choose!"

The old man snorted coldly, and with a lift of his hand, countless rays of light gathered in his palm.

"Whether you are willing or not, I am severing your Seven Emotions and Six Desires today!"

"You will take this Immortal Abode Legacy whether you want it or not!"

As the words fell,

The multi-colored radiance in the old man's hand instantly transformed into a torrent!

Contained within this torrent were countless profound runes, carrying a domineering will that forced its way into Chen Yan's forehead!

The Will of the Immortal Abode actually intended to forcibly erase Chen Yan's desires and turn him into a qualified successor for the Legacy!

"Motherf*cker!"

Chen Yan's face changed drastically, and he immediately fought back!

But at this moment, he was only at the Golden Core Stage; under that pressure which far exceeded the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, he couldn't even move a single finger!

He roared, his face contorted in a grimace,

Yet he could only watch helplessly as that torrent of Legacy crashed into the Sea of Consciousness in his forehead!

BOOM!!!

Chen Yan felt his head explode with a loud ringing!

Countless memories of his Revered Master, Leng Qingshuang, continuously surfaced in his mind.

When they first met, she was in white clothes as pure as snow, cold and detached like a fairy.

On the Ninth Peak, she patiently taught him and protected his path.

Outside Qingyun City, she drew her sword and slew a Nascent Soul for him, domineering and peerless.

When his Dao Heart was broken, she leaned into his embrace, revealing a rare moment of fragility...

Scene after scene, event after event, all were memories of him and his Revered Master.

But the power of the Legacy was like a heartless eraser!

It moved frantically within his Sea of Consciousness, erasing these most precious memories bit by bit!

It made these memories turn pale, lose their color, and stripped them of their emotional power!

"F*ck you! Get the hell away from me!"

"Get out of my head!"

Chen Yan glared at the old man, his eyes nearly bursting from their sockets!

But the Will of the Immortal Abode merely stroked its beard with a gratified expression.

"Take a deep breath, dizziness is normal~"

"It will be better in a moment!"

"Ultimately, you will be grateful to me!"
