Breeze Pavilion.

 Lights and shadows flashed.

 The ancient huge door opened and Lu Ming and the group stepped into a whole new world.

 It was filled with a soothing glow.

 It was very warm and cozy.

 “Everyone…

 “Open your arms and welcome the legacy.”

 The teenager's gentle voice could be heard.

 “Yes.”

Everyone was emotional.

 Shus.h.!.+

 Shus.h.!.+

 Beams of light landed from the sky. The twelve of them, including Lu Ming and Xiaobai, were shrouded by the lights. The legacy was going to commence immediately.

 However…

 Soon after, the gentle gaze in the teenager's eyes froze.

 Not too far in the distance.

 Two light pillars were actually intertwined. He took a closer look and noticed that Lu Ming was holding onto Xiaobai's hands and had not let go of them.

 “During the legacy, please separate yourselves.”

 He smiled bitterly.

 “I don't mind holding hands.”

 Lu Ming waved his hands.

 “But you can't inherit the legacy this way…”

 The teenager smiled bitterly.

 There was a legacy for each light pillar. Two light pillars were intertwined. How could the legacy be pa.s.sed down that way?!

 Something would go wrong?!

 “Pardon me.”

 Lu Ming was somewhat embarra.s.sed. “Xiaobai is very young. This is her first time and she has no experience at all. It's better that I take care of her.”

 The teenager was a little dumbstruck.

 Brother!

 This is merely a legacy…

 “I don't have a choice.”

 Lu Ming felt very helpless too. “She is too young and irresponsible. If I don't hold her hands, she will run around everywhere. If you don't believe me, look.”

 “Xiaobai?”

 “Yes.”

 “Are you responsible enough?”

 “No.”

 “Look.”

 Lu Ming put up both his hands.

 The teenager's expression was sullen.

d.a.m.n, you seem to be kidding me!

 All of a sudden, he could empathize with how Li Jianli and the few of them felt. After all, he had an impulse to beat someone up!

 This is a legacy!

 It is very simple. You walk in and inherit the legacy and it's over!

 Why is it that difficult for you to understand!

 “Look.”

 The teenager said patiently, “Miss Xiaobai, we'll walk in together. Then, someone will pa.s.s the legacy to you. Accept it and then it will be over. Okay?”

 “Huh?”

 Xiaobai looked at him quizzically.

 The teenager was speechless.

 Did she really not understand?

 He was very doubtful.

 However, after contemplating the situation, this lady was only twelve years old? When he was twelve in the past, he was also very confused and did not know what was happening…

 Alright.

 The teenager gave up.

 He glanced at the intertwined legacies and was deep in his thoughts. “Let me think.”

 Hence…

 He pondered deeply for a moment and then raised his hand.

 Shus.h.!.+

 The light pillars of the legacy suddenly changed colors.

 Each light pillar now had their own unique color. At Lu Ming and Xiaobai's side, the two intertwined light pillars had also become clearly visible.

 One was red and the other green!

 There was a clear distinction!

“Red and green. It's extremely ugly,” Lu Ming exclaimed in shock.

 That teenager pretended that he did not hear this.

 Well…

 The legacy light pillars were colored now. Nothing should go wrong then!

 Although Lu Ming and Xiaobai's light pillars were still intertwined, different colors were s.h.i.+ning on them. It did not seem to be a problem.

 Buzz—

 Faint lights flashed.

 Bang!

 Twelve beams of colored light pillars shone brightly.

 The legacy had begun!

 “Not bad.”

 The teenager smiled faintly. He was very satisfied.

 Click!

 Click!

 The faint lights surrounding him gradually dissipated, revealing his festering body. He was giving off a faint foul smell and his head was already broken.

 “Ah.

 “I can't endure it any longer?”

 The teenager sighed.

 Fortunately…

 He had already completed his mission…

 Hence…

 His gaze swept across the twelve light pillars. He actually selected and entered one of them.

 Shus.h.!.+

 Lights and shadows flashed.

 His decomposed body turned into ashes and vanished into the air instantly. A faint streak of light emerged from his body and then entered the light pillar. The light pillars of the legacy were s.h.i.+ning brightly again!

 “It has begun!”

 Li Jianli was filled with antic.i.p.ation.

 Inside the light pillar, he could no longer see the rest of the people.

 Before his eyes… was a surreal and cozy world.

 Shus.h.!.+

 A shadow flashed.

 An old and frail figure appeared. He was clad in similar attire as the teenager, but its design was more complicated. He seemed to be one of the high-ranking seniors of the sect.

 “Senior, please accept my respects.”

 Li Jianli knelt on the ground emotionally.

 This… was a senior from a thousand years ago?!

 “Not bad.”

 The gaze of the shadowy figure swept across Li Jianli. He was very satisfied.

 “Thank you, senior.”

 Li Jianli was thrilled.

 He suddenly understood something.

 Being a so-called inner sect disciple meant that they could receive the legacy experience from these high ranking seniors! These legacy experiences and combat experiences would then make them more powerful!

 True enough.

 He had come at the right time!

 Before his eyes…

 That figure transformed from lights and shadows glanced at him gently.

 “Come here.”

 The senior waved his hands.

 “Yes.”

Li Jianli approached him respectfully.

 “Not bad, not bad.”

 The senior's gaze turned increasingly gentle. Instinctively, he held onto Li Jianli's hands and caressed them, seemingly a.s.sessing something. “Not bad, not bad.”

Li Jianli's expression gradually froze.

 His behaviour was a little disturbing?!

 “Senior, this…”

 Li Jianli wanted to retract his hands.

 He tried twice but to no avail.

 “Not bad, not bad.”

 The senior caressed his hands.

 Li Jianli was silent.

 This action of the senior made him remember unpleasant things…

 “Senior, please watch yourself,” Li Jianli said in a serious manner.

 The senior then seemingly noticed Li Jianli. He looked up and glanced at Li Jianli. His gaze was extremely uncanny and his smile was teasing.

 “Senior?”

 Li Jianli gradually felt frantic.

 He did not know why but he felt that something was amiss.

 “Heh.”

 The senior suddenly approached him.

 Shus.h.!.+

 Lights and shadows flashed. He actually transformed into a faint light and entered Li Jianli's body.

 “You!”

 Li Jianli's eyes widened.

 “Child. The ‘not bad' that I was referring to… is your body… Heh. A young body.”

 Bang!

 There were constant booming noises in Li Jianli's body. His widened eyes were suddenly dazed and scattered, eventually losing their focus.

 After a long while…

 When he opened his eyes again, a trace of a smile actually emerged on his face.

 It was chilling and uncanny.

 At this very moment…

 In Lu Ming's legacy.

 A distance away.

 A shadow drifted and appeared.

 As expected…

 Lu Ming sighed.

 The figure that appeared before him was identical to the one that had flashed across the mirror earlier!

 Therefore…

 Some things were very clear now.

 The conversion rate not only referred to the rate that their own energy could convert to that of a Spiritualist but also, most importantly, their compatibility with these Spiritualists!

The one before his eyes…

 It was the shadow that had appeared last, the one that had a compatibility of 98.5% with him!

 Shus.h.!.+

 The apparition drifted to him.

 “Brother. Don't you intend to say something?”

 Lu Ming sighed.

 The apparition seemed slightly puzzled. Obviously, he had not come to his senses.

Say…

 What was there to say?

 “Such as…

 “The legacy is fake and you guys have some little tricks up your sleeves?”

 Lu Ming shrugged.

 “You're aware of this?”

 The apparition paused in its tracks and began to take a closer look at Lu Ming standing before him.

 “It's very obvious.”

 Lu Ming said calmly, “Everything in your legacy a.s.sessment is related to the body and the Sea of Consciousness. You didn't a.s.sess anything else!

 “So…

 “If I haven't guessed wrong, your so-called pa.s.sing on the sect legacy… is to take over someone's body?”

Lu Ming's voice was low.

 “Stupid!”

 The apparition sneered. “Spiritualists only integrate! Element integration! Soul integration! It is becoming one in a true sense!

 “What is the use of taking over the body?

 “We are going to integrate!

 “I will be in you and you in me!

 “I will be you and you will be me!

 “This… is the true essence of the legacy.”

 The apparition was very proud of this.

 Hehe.

 Lu Ming could only sneer.

 Although this is an integration, this kind of integration… Old guys like you who have lived for a G.o.d knows how many years are integrating with a young person. This seems to be a direct meltdown instead of integration? After all, in the eyes of these old monsters, a young man's lifetime of experience is probably tantamount to a mere fleeting moment…

 “You guys are really very greedy.”

Lu Ming sighed.

 He suddenly understood these people's motives!

 After all…

 They would be discovered if they were to just take over someone's body!

 However, if it was an integration…

 No one would know what happened!

 They only knew that these cultivators had gone through a fortuitous encounter and advanced greatly. These people could then unleash their plan and revive the Spiritualist vocation!

 These cultivators…

 All their friends and families were their backers!

 This was the most frightening part!

 “It seems that I was right to have chosen you.”

 The apparition smiled. “Don't worry. Everything that is yours will become mine. Let us carry on this path together…”

 Shus.h.!.+

 He pounced at Lu Ming.

 “Wait a minute!”

 Lu Ming stopped him hurriedly. “Brother, don't be anxious. Do you have any last words? You have to let me know! I haven't figured out many things. Don't be in a hurry to die!”

 The apparition looked dumbstruck.

 What do you mean by ‘don't be in a hurry to die'?!

 I am going to integrate with you, do you understand?!

 Could it be that…

 This guy is sick in the mind?

 Forget it.

 He did not have an alternative.

 The apparition ignored Lu Ming. It transformed into a streak of light and directly surged into Lu Ming's body.

 “Henceforth…

 “Lu Ming, let us come together…”

 Shus.h.!.+

 Faint lights flashed.

 The apparition charged into the Sea of Consciousness.

 Afterward…

 There was silence.

 He sensed a majestic, ancient and dominating aura emanating from the living creature that was in a deep slumber before his eyes. That ancient and mysterious aura…

“Y-you are…”

 The apparition looked grim.

 It finally knew what Lu Ming meant by ‘hurrying to die'!

 d.a.m.n!

 You're merely a four-star. Why did you have such a creature living in your body?!

 Nevertheless, it calmed down very quickly and took a closer look at the creature. Although its aura was horrifying, there was a vague trace of weakness in it. It actually had not recovered!

 Since that was the case, what was there to be afraid of?!

 After all…

 It was once an unrivaled figure!

 Furthermore…

 Although it had not come into contact with spirit beasts before, a few of his good friends were from the Imperial Beast Pavilion. It had some knowledge of their skills…

 Well…

 Hence…

 It straightened his back and glanced at the black cat before it raised his hand slightly.

 “Foul creature!

 “Why aren't you kneeling after seeing me?!”

 Shus.h.!.+

 All of a sudden, there was silence in the Sea of Consciousness.

 Lu Ming, who had followed the apparition and rushed in, was also dumbstruck. He wanted to come in to see if the apparition could survive longer so that he could retrieve some information from it.

But, look at the outcome!

 It was actually courting death!

 Bam!

 A black shadow flashed.

 The apparition was instantly plastered on the wall.

 Bang!

 There was a deafening sound.

 The apparition was breathing its last breath.

 “How could you…”

 The apparition could not believe what was happening.

 How was it possible that this black cat was that powerful?!

 Impossible!

 It was the dignified pavilion master of the Breeze Pavilion and it could not even endure a strike from the black cat?!

 Even though it was only a spirit now!

 “I don't believe it!

 “I started cultivating when I was sixteen and comprehended the world at once. I have ordinary talents and am lacking in all aspects. Yet, I could beat the geniuses in my cohort and became the pavilion master of Breeze Pavilion!

 “I led a legendary life. How's it possible that I am falling from grace?!”

 Bang!

 He was suddenly surrounded by flames. “Kill…”

 Cras.h.!.+

 A black shadow flashed.

 He was blasted out instantly.

 Bang!

 There was a deafening sound.

 There was a sudden silence in the Sea of Consciousness.

 It opened its eyes groggily. Vaguely, it seemed to have seen the tail flinging across… Feeling indignant and humiliated, it was then blasted to the ground.

 How could that be possible?

 Buzz—

 Its figure dissipated and turned into a ball of lights.

 “He died just like that?”

 Lu Ming was disappointed.

 He had thought that the apparition could at least struggle for a while. He could then find out what Brother Cat's baseline was…

 Shus.h.!.+

 A cold and chilling gaze swept across him.

 “Haha. h.e.l.lo, Brother Cat. I'm making a move first.”

 Lu Ming coughed.

 At this very moment…

 Shus.h.!.+

 That ball of light transformed by the pavilion master of Breeze Pavilion suddenly gave out an intense glow…

 At this very moment…

 In Xiaobai's legacy light pillar.

 Shus.h.!.+

 Lights flashed.

 An apparition whose body was half bright and half dark appeared by Xiaobai's side.

 “I'm the vice pavilion master of Breeze Pavilion!”

 The apparition dashed in a domineering manner.

 Shus.h.!.+

 It transformed into a beam of light and entered Xiaobai's body.

 However…

 It did not notice something.

 Two cards were lying quietly in Xiaobai's school bag, curiously looking at the lights and shadows which suddenly appeared. Their expressions suddenly turned odd.

 “Are you sure?”

 Xiao-Xiaojian looked at Xiao-Xiaobai in shock.

 Xiao-Xiaobai did not say anything.

 “That will be interesting.”

 Xiao-Xiaojian had a strange expression.

 It appeared only because Lu Ming told him to come and help. After all, it was once an ancient sword spirit and was super powerful!

 The Breeze Pavilion…

 Hehe.

 It could not kill it!

 However…

 When he came, he realized that he was no longer needed?

 According to Xiao-Xiaobai's feedback, the apparition that appeared was emitting an intense elemental glow. That was… yin and yang.

 This thing…

 Xiaobai did not even have this in her body!

 The talents that were a.s.sessed in the array belonged to Xiao-Xiaobai!

 Therefore…

 Shus.h.!.+

 The apparition charged into the Sea of Consciousness.

 “Heh. Begin to integrate,” it said coldly.

 Afterward, it was terrified to discover that it did not manage to absorb the slightest bit of energy, let alone integrate! It could not control the young lady's body at all!

 Eh?

 What went wrong?

 It tried to sense things again and then its expression changed drastically. It could not sense the presence of any talent or element!

 No!

 How can that be possible?!

 It was in disbelief.

 Xiaobai!

 She was the most talented and powerful one in history!

 If not for the fact that she was a female and the pavilion master shunned the integration, how could it be its turn?! Miss Xiaobai's talent was unparalleled!

 That was talent in the truest sense!

 But…

 But why was it that its yin and yang talent could not work on her?!

 Shus.h.!.+

 Shus.h.!.+

 It tried to integrate rampantly.

 However…

 It was useless!

 The body of the young lady was akin to an insulator and it could not approach it. It could not even absorb the slightest bit of energy!

 No!

 It needed to change its target!

 It instinctively wanted to leave, and then…

 Swoos.h.!.+

 It was shocked and terrified to discover that it could not leave! It watched as the energy in its body reduced and started to dissipate…

 No!

 How could this happen?!

 It was filled with despair and imprisoned in the young lady's Sea of Consciousness.

 At this very moment…

 Xiaobai was looking at the little person in her Sea of Consciousness curiously.

 Serious.

 When the apparition dashed towards her, the little person had already gone to the Sea of Consciousness. Afterward, its feelings changed from excitement to despair and then fear. In the end, it gradually dissipated.

 What was it doing?

 “h.e.l.lo.”

 Xiaobai communicated with it in the Sea of Consciousness.

 “Get lost! Liar! All of you are liars!”

 The apparition could already tell the reason. Therefore, it gritted its teeth and said, “You guys are d.a.m.n liars! Clearly, you don't have yin and yang talents!

 “All of you actually cheated!

 “It is simply… too much!”

 The apparition was breaking down emotionally.

 It was true.

 It painstakingly schemed because it wanted to borrow these people's bodies to resurrect and return to the world. Unexpectedly, it would die this way!

 It was because the disciples cheated in the a.s.sessments…

 Did this make any sense?

 “I… am filled with hate!”

 The apparition suffered from a complete emotional meltdown and its figure gradually became smaller.

 In the end, it dissipated and turned into a ball of light which was half bright and half dark. That was the legacy of the Spiritualist, one that uniquely belonged to this vice pavilion master.

 Buzz—

 The ball of light shone brightly!

 At this very moment…

 At the Breeze Pavilion.

 Most of the twelve pillar lights had disappeared.

Li Jianli and the group had already stepped out of the legacy. However, each of them was already a changed person.

 “Young body and muscle… It feels so wonderful.”

 Li Jianli exercised his wrist.

 “Yes.”

 The other people were also elated.

 Their previous bodies had already decomposed. They could barely support it with energy. Unlike now, they were full of vitality!

This… was the feeling of being young!

 Shus.h.!.+

 Shus.h.!.+

 Lights and shadow flashed.

 A few light pillars disappeared again.

 A few figures stepped out from the legacy again.

 Very soon…

 There were only two remaining ones.

 In the Land of Legacy, there were only the two intertwined red and green light pillars remaining!

 “I think there's only the pavilion master and vice pavilion master left?” Li Jianli said.

 “Yes.”

 Someone nodded slightly.

 “That's quite good…

 Our Spiritualist vocation is finally back!”

 Li Jianli stretched himself.

 He had not felt his way for a long time.

 Heh.

 These dumba.s.sess actually wanted to steal their legacies?

 They were too naive!

 “Who did the pavilion master pick?” someone asked.

 “Lu Ming.”

 Li Jianli replied. “Humph! He has ordinary talents. He has the least talent and ability. In fact, it doesn't matter who he chooses. Most importantly…

 He has most likely taken a fancy to Lu Ming's looks.”

 “That is possible.”

 After pondering, everyone was deeply convinced.

 “So…

 Old Li picked Xiaobai?”

 “Yes.”

 “He actually picked a female…”

 Li Jianli suddenly thought of something. “Old Zhang, you are legendary brothers with Old Li and are very close to him. Both of you were once famous and left behind many legacies. You are neither married nor have any kids. Perhaps this is a chance.”

 “??? What chance?”

 Old Zhang was baffled.

 “A chance to continue your bloodline.”

 Li Jianli glanced at him. “I introduced someone to you in the past. You actually said that ‘It is enough to have brothers when you rove the world with swords. Why do I need a woman?!

But now…

 Since he has become a lady, both of you can become a pair?

 In my view…

 Based on the young lady's looks, she's definitely a stunning beauty in the future,” Li Jianli a.n.a.lyzed and said.

 Old Zhang wore a dumbstruck expression.

 d.a.m.n!

 How were these things related?!

 “Don't talk nonsense. We only have brotherly feelings for each other…”

 Old Zhang was infuriated.

 “Heh.”

 Li Jianli sneered. “Didn't both of you talk about this before?”

 “Definitely not!”

 Old Zhang was certain.

 What a joke. He was a man!

 How could he have such thoughts…

 Suddenly…

 Old Zhang's body froze.

 This was because he suddenly recalled the autumn when he and Old Li were both drunk… and he lamented emotionally that he had never touched a woman despite living for that long…

 Old Li seemed to have replied, “Haha, if I become a woman in my next life, I'll let you have a go and feel good…

 He suddenly had a very bad premonition.

 Could it be that…

 Old Li really had such thoughts?!
