Chapter 656: Chapter 656: Inheritance, System Awakening!
“Is that impressive?
For a moment, the old man didn’t know how to respond.
If it was impressive, why did he die?
If it was not, who would want his legacy?
“It’s not about being impressive or not, it’s genuinely one of those rare, terrifying ones, that could shatter heaven and earth if cultivated properly!”
“Unfortunately, I had made a mistake during the practice and failed, leading to my death.”
“Young man, if you’re unwilling, you can leave now.”
“My last trace of consciousness will just dissolve in the universe, as if I, the Blood Demon Emperor, had never existed.”
As the Blood Demon Emperor spoke, he gave off a sense of desolation.
Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow and pondered, it felt a bit too fantastical.
This strange trial was for the purpose of selecting a successor?
Isn’t this method a bit too dramatic?
“Old man, what’s included in your inheritance? Techniques, treasures?”
“Actually, I don’t really need those things, I just want to know, have you left any legacy for me?”
Jiang Xiaobai was very persistent about this legacy.
He never forgot that he came to this Star Refining Underworld for the purpose of making money.
What’s the use of those techniques if I can’t make money?
They’re completely pointless, plus, practicing those techniques would require a lot of resources.
He, Jiang Xiaobai, simply couldn’t afford it!
He had two eager martial fathers to feed, and his own cultivation to care for.
All of those required resources, okay!
Upon hearing this, the Blood Demon Emperor struggled to keep his cool.
Good boy, you’re not interested in these terrifying techniques or treasures, but keen on these trashy resource legacies?
Several times, the Blood Demon Emperor wanted to slap Jiang Xiaobai to death.
But he held back.
After all, in these tens of thousands of years, only Jiang Xiaobai was able to pass the trial and arrive here.
He simply couldn’t wait any longer.
Taking a deep breath, the Blood Demon Emperor gritted his teeth and said,
“Of course there’s a legacy, after all, this technique requires resources to cultivate, so I did prepare not a few for my successor.”
“However, if you don’t agree to become my successor, don’t even think about getting a single hair from these things.”
Jiang Xiaobai once again asked seriously, “So, can you reveal how much there is exactly?”
“You… ”
“Don’t get angry, after all, I’m the one who’s going to shoulder your legacy!”
Upon hearing this, the Blood Demon Emperor finally relaxed a bit.
“It’s not much, just a vein of immortal stone, a few million at the least.”
“There are also plenty of treasures and special essences, spirit fruits and so on.”
“So, do you agree, kid? If not, scram.”
It must be said, anyone meeting Jiang Xiaobai for the first time is very likely to go crazy.
The Blood Demon Emperor was almost there.
He was really curious about how Jiang Xiaobai had managed to survive till now.
What was even more terrifying was why his talent was so monstrous?
“Alright then, I agree. Let me have your legacy.” Jiang Xiaobai said casually.
Upon hearing this, the Blood Demon Emperor finally nodded.
Just as he was about to pass on his legacy to Jiang Xiaobai, he suddenly had a revelation.
Hiss, the kid doesn’t seem to care about the legacy at all, what he cares about is the resources!
“Hmph, no matter what, you’ve already agreed to become my successor, no matter who you are, you can’t escape now!”
With a cold snort, the last trace of the Blood Demon Emperor’s consciousness turned into a scarlet fog.
It went straight into Jiang Xiaobai’s mind.
The moment he entered, he went dumbfounded.
What he saw before him was an unimaginably terrifying Purple Haze Soul!
He vowed that he had never heard of anyone being able to depict a soul like this in his life.
“It seems, choosing you was indeed the right choice.”
“No wonder you were able to come up here so easily, such a soul has already violated the boundaries of the heavens.”
Thinking about this, a smile appeared on the face of the Blood Demon Emperor.
“Given this, you might really be able to carry my will, I hope you can bear it.”
That was the last thing he said.
The next second, Jiang Xiaobai felt his vision being obstructed by a red object.
His consciousness gradually became murky.
Not knowing how long this lasted, Jiang Xiaobai abruptly opened his eyes.
“Did the legacy transmission just end?”
Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes, looking utterly surprised.
He felt nothing at all.
Just as he was about to inspect what this so-called legacy was all about, a familiar voice echoed in his mind.
“System upgrade complete!”
“System has perfected some functionalities, trial tasks issued!”
“Reminder, there is only one last upgrade opportunity for this system after this upgrade, and another upgrade will not happen in a short time.”
“Following this system upgrade, there will be a plan to improve the host.”
“This system upgrade includes many features, please explore by yourself.”
“Trial task: Remove all dangers and obstacles in the Star Refining Underworld within two months.”
“Task completion reward: Two million middle-grade immortal stones, 10,000 points of fame, one opportunity to enhance Beiming Devouring Heaven Technique.”
“Task Failure: Annihilation!”
“Task is non-refusable!”
“Planning Task One: Within two months, the host is required to enhance the strength to the late peak stage of Crossing Tribulation!”
“Task completion reward: One million middle-grade immortal stones, ten thousand reputation points, and one large batch of merit.”
“Task is non-refusable!”
“Congratulations to the host, selection triggered!”
“Option One: Refuse to embrace the legacy of the Blood Demon Emperor, reward one hundred thousand middle-grade immortal stones.”
“Option Two: Assimilate the Blood Demon Emperor’s ‘Boundless Bloodlust Technique, reward two hundred thousand middle-grade Immortal Stones and one thousand reputation points.”
“Option Three: Completely assimilate all legacies of the Blood Demon Emperor, inherit his will and help him fulfill his wish.”
“Task Completion: Reward one hundred thousand top-grade immortal stones and a set of celestial baptism.”
“Reminder, this task is extremely difficult, please choose carefully.”
“The system is currently in the process of slowly merging and upgrading, all functions will be blocked in thirty minutes.”
“Estimated blocking time, seven days.”
Hearing the cascade of voices in his head, Jiang Xiaobai was stunned.
The system upgrade was complete?
The timing was truly impeccable.
What Jiang Xiaobai didn’t know, however, was that he had been unconscious for a full month in this great hall!
After taking some time to accept the system’s slew of information, Jiang Xiaobai was immediately confronted with two problems.
The first one was about the legacy of the Blood Demon Emperor.
The second one was that the system was going to lock all functions, for a full seven days!
Even the system’s space couldn’t be used.
Jiang Xiaobai was unable to use the system’s space to collect things, and furthermore, he needed to bring out all his stuff.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to use them!
With no other choice, Jiang Xiaobai could only search for the legacy in his mind, only to find out that the legacy had been forcibly sealed by the system!
Upon checking further, Jiang Xiaobai went dumbfounded.
He was so frustrated he wanted to curse!
