173: Old man, don't be ungrateful.

"Choose one person's Legacy, fine! Then let me choose!"

After opening the insight panel, Lin Ye looked toward the Old Ones, scrutinizing the group.

"Hmm?"

Very quickly, he discovered the issue. These Old Ones all possessed special Physiques, and their cultivation levels were terrifyingly powerful to an unbelievable degree. No wonder this group of old men could form their own faction.

However, the destiny of these Old Ones all shared the same entry.

That was... Immortal Qi.

The appearance of these two words caused Lin Ye's eyes to widen. Was there really an Immortal in this world?

Although legends regarding the Opportunity for Immortal Ascension had circulated since the ancient era, no one had ever been seen achieving it!

Proving the Dao to become a Great Emperor was already the lifelong pursuit of all Cultivators.

If there were truly Immortals, then why had there never been any records of them in ancient history?

Apart from the Immortal Qi and ordinary destiny, the latter half of these Old Ones' destiny had all turned into fragments, making it impossible to see clearly.

Either it was because something was shielding the heavenly secrets, preventing even the System from detecting it.

Or it was because these Old Ones were merely projections within a mural, making it impossible to view their full picture.

Lin Ye felt the first possibility was more plausible; after all, if even the System couldn't see it, then this so-called Immortal was truly terrifying.

"How is it? You boys, have you chosen yet?"

Seeing that Lin Ye and Chu Hao had remained silent, the Old Ones spoke up to urge them.

Several Old Ones were already sending voice transmissions to Chu Hao!

They were all asking Chu Hao to choose them, and even promised to give him an unimaginable Legacy.

Hearing these voice transmissions, Chu Hao's brows furrowed slightly.

After glancing at Lin Ye, he said coldly to the Old Ones, "Everyone, Seniors, I respect you, which is why I call you Seniors, but why must you act in such a sneaky manner? What is the meaning of sending me private voice transmissions?"

"Brother Lin, have you received any voice transmissions too?"

Upon hearing this, a trace of an inexplicable smile appeared on Lin Ye's face.

It seemed these old fogies before him favored Chu Hao; otherwise, why hadn't they sent him any voice transmissions?

"As expected..."

Seeing Lin Ye shake his head, a look of anger appeared on Chu Hao's face as he turned to question those Old Ones.

"You all saw the situation just now. It was Brother Lin who single-handedly suppressed numerous Prodigies, killing them with overwhelming force!"

"Even if it comes to choosing a Legacy, it should be Brother Lin who gets to choose!"

"Yet you send me voice transmissions, telling me to choose you, guaranteeing it will be better than Brother Lin's—what is the meaning of this?!"

Chu Hao's roar left the Old Ones looking at each other in dismay.

The reason they had told Chu Hao that they wouldn't give Lin Ye too many benefits was to tell Chu Hao that what they gave him was the best!

But who could have guessed that this silly boy would directly confront them in public!

The path of cultivation is about competing with people and competing with the heavens!

When the same Opportunity is placed before you, naturally, whoever has the ability should take it. This time, they were trying to feed Chu Hao, but not only did he not want to eat, he even flipped the table?!

Such an absurd situation left the Old Ones speechless for a moment.

At this moment, Lin Ye chuckled at Chu Hao, "It seems these Seniors don't have a very good impression of me. But no matter, Chu Hao, you should just accept the Seniors' Legacy; I'll be fine with whatever."

Hearing Lin Ye's words, the Old Ones breathed a sigh of relief.

If Lin Ye could give it up himself, they would naturally be saved the trouble.

The Old Ones, who were unwilling to be tainted by Karma, could not violate the rules within this painting. However, if they gave the best to Chu Hao and then gave Lin Ye something random, that would be no problem at all.

As a result, Chu Hao shook his head vigorously.

"Brother Lin, you have already taken care of me enough. To be honest, I have never felt like this before, being taken care of by someone. You truly treat me as a brother!"

"Since we are brothers, how could I possibly tarnish the bond between us for such petty gains!"

Petty gains?! The Old Ones looked at Chu Hao in disbelief.

The look in their eyes was as if they were looking at an idiot.

Boy, have you not seen the scene around you? What place is this? This is the Ancient Battlefield!

Do you have no idea what level the people who can fight here are at?

And you call it petty gains? If our Legacy were placed outside, those Cultivators would kill each other over it!

Do you even understand what you are saying!

Many creatures on the Ancient Battlefield also came over to the Old Ones' side to watch the excitement. After hearing what the few were saying, they were laughing so hard they couldn't even stand straight.

"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. How about it? Old Man Li, you got rejected, didn't you? Aren't you usually quite arrogant?"

"Tsk tsk tsk... I really don't understand you Human Race. Anyone with eyes can see clearly that this youth in red clearly has terrifying talent. You aren't willing to give such a person a Legacy?"

"Hehehe, this kid is material for demonic cultivation. If he had chosen my faction earlier, I guarantee I would have taught him everything I know, unlike you lot, bickering here!"

"What? Old Man Li, do you not even want to follow the rules within the painting now?"

"..."

Listening to those creatures being sarcastic one by one, the Old Ones' expressions were uncertain.

They had not expected to encounter a hotheaded youth like Chu Hao. They were trying to feed him, but he wouldn't even eat!

After Chu Hao finished expressing his brotherly feelings to Lin Ye, he turned to look at the many Old Ones: "I don't want this lousy Opportunity! Given your character, if I were to accept your Legacy, my Dao Heart would be unstable!"

"..."

The leading Old One just wanted to slap Chu Hao to death right there.

Talking about brotherly bonds—please, turn around and look at that brother of yours; the smile on his face clearly shows he is playing with you!

You are heart-to-heart with your brother, but your brother is playing mind games with you!

Hum...

Just at this moment, a mysterious Qi seemed to appear in the entire sky, and that mysterious Qi was constantly tearing apart the entire Universe.

"The rules have been violated..."

Watching the scene around them about to shatter, many creatures all let out screams, and each one was urging those Old Ones.

Seeing this, the leading Old One gritted his teeth and glared furiously at Chu Hao: "You must take this Legacy! Whether you want to or not, you must take it!"

"I just don't want it!!!"

Chu Hao's stubborn temper flared up, and he launched a barrage at the old man: "Old man, I don't want my share of the Legacy, give it all to Brother Lin. If you want to give it, give it; if not, I don't want it either! I advise you not to be ungrateful!"

"Who the hell is being ungrateful between the two of us!!!"

Veins popped out on the Old One's forehead, and he finally couldn't help but start cursing. "I want to give you the best Legacy, but you don't want it, and you even scold me. You are simply... simply the most bastardly idiot I have ever encountered!"
