Chapter 79: The Legacy of Emperor Xingchen, The Appearance of Du Guxiong

“Ding, congratulations on successfully slacking off, you have obtained the legacy of Emperor Xingchen!”

The notification sound slowly rang out, startling Jiang Chen to stand up abruptly, which in turn woke up Qin Yao, who was sleeping. Rubbing her eyes, she looked confused, “What’s wrong, Jiang Chen? Is there an enemy attack?”

“It’s nothing, continue sleeping,” Jiang Chen said, trying to suppress his excitement with a smile.

“Oh,” Qin Yao responded and then continued to sleep on Jiang Chen’s lap.

“Can I really slack off successfully like this? Could it be because I didn’t interfere with the inheritance?” Jiang Chen was somewhat bewildered.

Initially, after acquiring the Heart of the Holy Spirit, he was prepared not to slack off, especially since this was just a minor storyline. He didn’t pay much attention to it, thinking that the rewards for such a minor storyline wouldn’t be too high.

Unexpectedly, he succeeded in slacking off and even obtained the legacy of an emperor. This caught Jiang Chen completely off guard.

“It seems that slacking off isn’t about an entire storyline but about not interfering or not doing certain specific things, then rewards can be obtained?” Discovering this, Jiang Chen was ecstatic.

If so, he would have many choices in the future. In some storylines, he could choose not to interfere with the most important things.

“The legacy of Emperor Xingchen, I wonder what it is!” After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chen began to accept the legacy of Emperor Xingchen.

Almost instantly, vast scriptures flooded into Jiang Chen’s mind like a breaking dam. Each scripture was extremely complex, bearing the entire life’s Dao of Emperor Xingchen:

Emperor Xingchen Scripture, Eighteen Divine Techniques of the Starry Sea, Starry Array, Ancient Scripture of Starry Void.

The legacy of Emperor Xingchen was unimaginable, with dozens of divine techniques and secret methods. Each one was the result of Emperor Xingchen’s lifelong study and comprehension of the Dao.

They encompassed everything, not just Emperor Xingchen’s own Starry Dao but also involved countless other Daos, such as the Dao of Void, the Dao of Yin and Yang, the Dao of Destiny, and even the Dao of Time and Space!

Among them, Emperor Xingchen Scripture was the foundation, while Eighteen Divine Techniques of the Starry Sea were branches spreading from the Dao, and other insights into alchemy, artifact crafting, and array formations were like leaves, forming a towering immortal tree.Yôur favorite 𝒏ovels at n/𝒐(v)el/bin(.)com

“Star Brilliance” – Enhancing one’s combat power tenfold in all aspects, whether it be physical body or soul.

“I didn’t expect Emperor Xingchen to have such a divine technique!” Jiang Chen was amazed by the effect of Star Brilliance.

Such techniques that enhance combat power are extremely rare, involving countless Daos, and not something that can be improved upon at will. Creating such a technique requires profound comprehension of the Dao, extraordinary talent, and certain opportunities.

This legacy was an unexpected joy for Jiang Chen. Originally, he planned to go after the Saint Realm inheritance after Yan Ruyu’s emergence. Now, it seems unnecessary to care about whether he gets it or not.

Moreover, the system reward indicates that the other party has already received the inheritance and left. Therefore, Jiang Chen doesn’t bother to chase after it, thinking it’s not a big deal if he can find another opportunity for Yan Ruyu later.

As Yan Ruyu’s area erupted with a roar, enveloping her world with black and white divine lights, the world trembled under the majesty of Dao. After a day and night, it seemed Yan Ruyu had finally finished her inheritance.

Yan Ruyu, now exuding a transcendent aura, completely different from her former charm, seemed like an immortal from myths, sacred and flawless.

If she was considered a calamity for countries before, now she seemed like a pure and untouchable goddess.

Feeling vastly different and potentially on par with the descendants of the ancient royal families, Yan Ruyu expressed confidence in her new strength, although Jiang Chen reminded her of the reality of their realm differences.

However, Yan Ruyu’s transformation into a being with the potential to become Jiang Chen’s strong ally was undeniable, showcasing the incredible benefits of the legacy she had received.

Yan Ruyu’s tone was confident and firm. This confidence came from her physique. Although many people say that talent does not represent future achievements, it is often those with better talent who can make it to the end.

Existences like the Eternal Emperor are, after all, rare. Or one could become a Son of Destiny like Du Guyun, favored by destiny. However, the Son of Destiny itself is one of the strongest talents.

“I believe in you!” Jiang Chen smiled gently. Now, Yan Ruyu has reached the True King Realm Eighth Layer, not far from the Life and Death Realm. But to step into the Great Master Realm, it still requires some time.

“Did you succeed, Sister Ruyu?” Seeing Yan Ruyu waking up, Qin Yao hurriedly got up and ran over.

Unlike Jiang Chen, Qin Yao has a very good relationship with Yan Ruyu. Even if they haven’t been together for long, they are already close as sisters!

“Yes! From now on, I can protect Yao’er!” Yan Ruyu got up, hugged Qin Yao, rubbed Qin Yao’s cheek, and said with a smile.

“Great! When Sister Ruyu becomes powerful, she can help Yao’er beat up Jiang Chen, that bad guy!” Qin Yao was ecstatic, swinging her little fists.

“You can choose another person! When sister becomes powerful, if your imperial brother bullies you, I can help you beat him up!” Yan Ruyu quickly changed the subject with a smile on her face.

Not to mention that she couldn’t possibly make a move against Jiang Chen. Even if she did, she wouldn’t be Jiang Chen’s opponent. On this point, Yan Ruyu was still self-aware.

“But the imperial brother won’t bully me! Only Jiang Chen likes to bully me!” Qin Yao said indignantly.

“Then sister has no way!” Yan Ruyu spread her hands.

“Stop joking, she won’t be bullied by Qin the Second! This Qin Yao is a little demon in the Great Qin Dynasty, no one in the royal family dares to bully her!” Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Qin Yao is the youngest in the Great Qin imperial family and is loved by thousands. Whether it’s her peers or the previous generation, they all love Qin Yao very much.

No one dares to bully Qin Yao. If someone dares, what they face is not just Qin the Second, but the punishment of countless elders in the royal family.

“Ah, sister has no way? Then who can beat Jiang Chen!” Qin Yao’s little face fell. She just wanted to beat Jiang Chen and vent her anger.

However, neither the imperial brother nor Sister Ruyu could do it. Of course, her father could, but given the generational gap, her father wouldn’t make a move. If he really did, it would only be a joke.

“How about Yao’er sister becomes powerful in the future and then teaches the Holy Child a lesson? I’ll help you then!” Seeing Qin Yao’s frustrated face, Yan Ruyu couldn’t help but say.

Hearing this, Qin Yao seemed to think it was feasible, her eyes lit up and said, “That seems like a good idea! Then when I become powerful, I’ll join forces with Sister Ruyu to teach Jiang Chen a lesson!”

“Teach that bad guy a lesson!” While saying this, Qin Yao stared at Jiang Chen with big, cute eyes. But no matter how you looked at it, there was no threat.

‘By the time you become powerful, the pickled vegetables will have cooled down!’ Jiang Chen’s face was serene, but he couldn’t help but make an inner comment. How did she think his cultivation would stagnate?

Moon City.

This city, located by the Yin-Yang Sea, is much like Yang City, backed by a powerful force of the Moon Sect from the Yin-Yang Sea area.

In an inn, Du Guyun sat exhausted in a corner. After the inner door competition, he had been honing his skills in the outside world, hoping to catch up with, or even surpass Jiang Chen, and crush him underfoot!

Through prolonged training, Du Guyun made significant gains. He has now reached the seventh level of the Soul Sea Realm. The speed of his cultivation improvement was astonishing.

Even Canglao praised him for it. This rate was unprecedented, even for unparalleled geniuses.

Du Guyun’s rapid advancement was also due to his countless brushes with death and numerous opportunities that allowed him to reach this stage.

This left Canglao extremely shocked. His disciple, aside from everything else, was truly fortunate. No matter where he went, he gained something, even if it was dangerous and tiring. But every time, he managed to turn danger into safety.

“Jiang Chen again!” Hearing the discussions around him, Du Guyun, who was already exhausted, became numb. Recently, wherever he went, he heard talks about Jiang Chen.

An omnipresent shadow, no matter what he did, as soon as he went where people gathered, there would be discussions about Jiang Chen! This stirred waves in Du Guyun’s heart, and he couldn’t help but feel angry.

Why was Jiang Chen everywhere? He couldn’t accept it and felt upset, but there was nothing he could do.

“Have you heard? The Supreme Elder of Yang Sect was slain, and it was by a young man in the Great Master Realm Triple Layer!”

“I heard. Some suspect it was the Primordial Holy Son!”

“Really? The Primordial Holy Son came here?”

“It should be true. Who else but the Primordial Holy Son could achieve killing a quasi-Saint in the Great Master Realm Triple Layer?”

“Moreover, when this person made his move, it was with ease, playing the Supreme Elder in his palm, and killing him in a few moves!”

“It’s outrageous for the Great Master Realm to easily slay a quasi-Saint!”

“We can’t comprehend the world of monsters!”

“I think even those geniuses can’t understand!”

“That’s true. In that case, aren’t we all geniuses?”

“Ha ha ha, if you count it like that, why not?”

Jiang Chen is nearby? And he killed a Near-Saint?

Du Guyun’s face stiffened, and his feelings were complicated. Shocked, but also filled with despair. “I struggle to kill a True King, and now he can kill quasi-Saints! If this continues for a few more decades, wouldn’t he be able to kill Saints?” Du Guyun couldn’t help but say.

“If there’s no accident with Jiang Chen, theoretically, he could do it!”

“This Primordial Holy Son is indeed a rare monster in ten thousand years. At his age, even Emperors might not be his match!” Canglao, having seen much, was still endlessly shocked by Jiang Chen’s monstrous level. He had never seen or heard of such a monster before.

A Great Master Realm easily killing a quasi-Saint as if drinking water. What kind of monster is this?

“Master, can I still surpass him?” Du Guyun felt desperate and powerless.

When Jiang Chen was in the True King Realm, he was very confident. Feeling he could surpass the other. Now, with constant news about Jiang Chen, he felt increasingly powerless.

Because the gap between him and Jiang Chen was growing wider, to the point where he could no longer see the end.

Meanwhile, Just as Du Guyun despaired, a refined-looking man who bore a resemblance to Du Guyun stood in front of him. “Do you really want to surpass Jiang Chen?”

Du Guyun immediately became alert, looking at the man before him and coldly said, “Who are you?”

“Oh, let me introduce myself! My name is Du Guxiiong, your father!” The refined man smiled gently.
