Chapter 5907: Legacy Items

We cant since time is running out, I dont know if we can live until then, not to mention were shackled to heaven and earth. The eye eventually spoke.

Dont worry, you three will live for a long time since I am around. Li Qiye shook his head.

Barely living. The deep voice said.

Youve lived for so long already, whats a little longer? Dont worry about the minor details. Li Qiye waved dismissively.

Its fine for you to do it. The pleasant voice said.

I see, so in the end, its a matter of not wanting to do it. Looks like the feelings are sincere. Li Qiye said.

Just teaching, nothing more. The deep voice uttered coldly. Nevertheless, the three knew the true answer.

An ordinary disciple couldnt have gotten to the position where backstabbing was possible. Li Qiye said: This one, on the other hand, knew and sold all of your secrets.

Everyone has secrets. The deep voice said.

Secrets are secrets when they are unknown to others. Li Qiye smiled: In my opinion, this is more than a master and disciple issue, more of a true successor.

The person with the deep voice snorted.

You three had plenty of time to groom successors, but no one did it because this was unwise, just another karmic string to tie you to the mortal world and leave yourselves more exposed than necessary. Li Qiye said.

Yes, this has always been our biggest taboo. The eye admitted.

Others are not worthy of entering your sight, only transactional matters at best. Putting in the effort is akin to losing lifespan, but without time and effort, you cant groom a capable successor. Li Qiye said.

We didnt have this intention at the start. The eye sighed.

What changed? Li Qiye asked.

These three stood at the apex, far more monstrous than the strongest overlords. The latter didnt care about others, let alone them.

They didnt care about starting lineages either since that was only a waste of time. Moreover, who could inherit their legacies, and most importantly, they could live longer than anyone.

If a successor were to die before them, what would be the point of getting one in the first place?

Alas, they somehow changed their mind and did everything they could to pa.s.s their legacies.

So it wasnt only to deal with that guy. Li Qiye shook his head: Thats only an excuse, you three wanted to pa.s.s down your legacies.

Were old now. The eye sighed and said.

Old? Lets entertain this notion and say that youre no longer in your prime, you will still outlast virtually anyone. Li Qiye chuckled.

He changed our mind. The pleasant voice answered.

I see. Li Qiye nodded: You saw him training a disciple in Three Immortals, a front-seat demonstration, and wanted to follow suit.

Perhaps it was just the right time. The eye admitted.

Im sure there were other reasons than just wanting to take in a disciple. Li Qiye said: But what were they? Li Qiye smirked.

The three didnt respond.

Forget it, I wont pry into your secrets since Im not after your legacies. If I did, I wouldnt have waited until now. Li Qiye said.

There are things to be pa.s.sed down. The eye said.

Thats enough, you dont need to tell me. After all, youre afraid of a rope for ten years once bitten by a snake. Li Qiye waved his hand.

The three sighed because this might be the reason why their disciple betrayed them.

There is something you might be mistaken about though. Li Qiye said: He taught a disciple not to pa.s.s down his legacy.

We know. The pleasant voice said: And if theres an item involved, not just anyone could accept it, at least not this disciple.

What do you think his legacy item is? Li Qiye asked.

Whats your item then? The deep voice answered with a question.

You already know, the primordial tree, although its not quite a legacy item. Li Qiye shrugged.

Because no one else can bear it yet some still covet it. The deep voice said.

Its a test of the heart. Those who can pa.s.s it do not need it for they will have their own legacy items. Li Qiye smiled.

It has all of your secrets. The eye said: So you wouldnt pa.s.s it down anyway.

You could say that. Li Qiye said: It is the source of my secret and contains everything about me.

Youre not willing to pa.s.s it on? The pleasant voice asked.

Li Qiye smiled and shook his head: I am me, a unique ent.i.ty. If someone can inherit my legacy, then from my perspective, I am no longer me. You all understand this very well yet you still chose to find a successor, how interesting, it must be something alive.

The three didnt answer but their legacy items must be unimaginable while requiring them to look for a successor.

Dont look so serious, Im just making conversation. Li Qiye smiled.

Have you thought that youre just like him? The pleasant voice said.

No, if he has a legacy item, itll have something to do with the villainous heaven. Not me since I dont care about being a replacement. Li Qiye smiled.

Yet you wont let go of your primordial tree. The eye said.

You havent thought about this matter clearly. Li Qiye shook his head: Im afraid others who care about this have the wrong idea as well.

He paused briefly before speaking seriously: Yes, the tree contains many of my secrets but it is not mine.

Not yours? The three were shocked to hear this.

To be exact, I dont intend to leave it for myself. Li Qiye said.
