- Chapter 33 - Young man, I really take a liking to you
“Is this the place of the legacy of the Magnificent Quasi-Emperor?”
At this moment, Wu Yifan had already entered the giant tower, and surrounding the tower was an endless expanse of darkness, as if the entire world had been magnified.
Upon probing with his consciousness, he discovered that the world before him had grown so vast that it was beyond his ability to fully explore.
Just as Wu Yifan turned around, he realized that the path he had entered through had vanished without a trace, causing his brow to furrow involuntarily.
But at that moment, a hearty laugh echoed behind Wu Yifan.
“Hahaha, young man, did fate lead you to come here?”
As Wu Yifan turned, he found a massive phantom had appeared before him, unbeknownst to him until that moment. Seeing the figure, Wu Yifan was slightly taken aback.
Before entering, he had gathered information about the Magnificent Quasi-Emperor and naturally recognized that the elder before him was indeed the Magnificent Quasi-Emperor.
After a moment’s thought, Wu Yifan realized that the elder should be a remnant soul left by the Magnificent Quasi-Emperor, so he bowed respectfully to the figure.
“I am Wu Yifan, paying my respects to the esteemed Magnificent Quasi-Emperor.”
“Hmm, it seems there are still people in this era who know of me,” the Magnificent Quasi-Emperor said, clearly pleased with Wu Yifan’s reaction, as he smiled and stroked his nonexistent beard.
Looking at the Magnificent Quasi-Emperor, Wu Yifan let out a helpless sigh before speaking up.
“Senior, since you are here, does that mean I can receive your legacy?”
“Indeed, this place is the site of my legacy. From the moment you entered, I have been observing you. To be honest, young man, I really take a liking to you.”
The Magnificent Quasi-Emperor then cleared his throat and looked at Wu Yifan with utmost seriousness.
This made Wu Yifan feel a chill run down his spine. Could it be that the Magnificent Quasi-Emperor has a preference for men? With that thought, Wu Yifan instinctively stepped back two paces, wondering how he might escape if the Magnificent Quasi-Emperor decided to take action.
However, it seemed that there was no chance of escaping in front of a peak Quasi-Emperor. But my great-grandfather is outside; if anything happens to me, he wouldn’t just sit by and do nothing, right?
When the Magnificent Quasi-Emperor saw Wu Yifan’s reaction, he appeared to be struck, realizing that his words had indeed been ambiguous. He then cleared his throat and said,
“Ahem, my words may have been misleading. What I meant to say is that your talent is outstanding— you are the most exceptional among all those who have entered.”
Hearing this, Wu Yifan finally understood the Magnificent Quasi-Emperor’s intent but still kept his distance. Once a seed of doubt is planted, guilt had already been established.
The Magnificent Quasi-Emperor felt helpless but didn’t say anything further. Wu Yifan, however, thought of something and looked toward the Magnificent Quasi-Emperor to ask,
“According to your earlier words, does that mean I can receive your legacy directly?”
Then, under Wu Yifan’s expectant gaze, the Magnificent Quasi-Emperor shook his head.
“Not exactly. Although your talent is exceptional, the legacy is something I left behind before my death. Right now, I am merely a remnant soul, so even if I am quite fond of your talent, I cannot directly pass the legacy to you.”
“However, you have already been allowed to enter ahead of others, which increases your chances of obtaining the legacy a bit more than theirs.”
“Alright then.”
Wu Yifan sighed helplessly, and then the Magnificent Quasi-Emperor sent him off to face the challenge of receiving the legacy.
After Wu Yifan left, it took about ten minutes for the second person to enter, then the third, and the fourth; soon, more than half of the people in the Magnificent Secret Realm had arrived at the legacy tower.
At this point, Wu Yifan was far ahead of them.
On the other side, outside.
After cultivating for about five years, Wu Yidao had also displayed a terrifying level of talent, breaking through to the peak of the Nascent Soul state in five years, only one step away from Divine Transformation. This left the entire Wu Family astonished, with the exception of Wu Hao.
“Hubby, with Yidao’s talent being so remarkable, should we find him a good teacher?”
That evening, in Wu Xuanyuan’s room, after finishing their training and assignments, his wife Li Yulong hesitantly asked him while nestled in his embrace.
After all, considering the current talent Wu Yidao was showing, he would likely break through to the Saint state in just twenty years, while within the Wu Family, only Wu Rulong and Wu Qitian had managed to reach that level.
At that time, there would be no one in the Wu Family to guide Wu Yidao.
Upon hearing his wife’s words, Wu Xuanyuan began to contemplate her suggestion; indeed, he and his wife were only at the peak of Void Refinement at present, still a step away from Tribulation Crossing.
Given the current trend, it wouldn’t be long before their cultivation levels lagged behind their son’s. It was time to find a good master for him.
“Hmm, you have a point, but let’s first consult with my elder brother and father about this. If possible, I think we should also ask grandfather’s opinion,” Wu Xuanyuan said. Li Yulong nodded in agreement, especially when she recalled Wu Hao, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.
After all, although Wu Hao had never stepped into action, tales of him had always circulated within the Wu Family. It was said that his cultivation was at least at the Supreme or even Quasi-Emperor level; otherwise, he would never be able to safeguard the vast family estate of the Wu Family.
Otherwise, the Emperor of the Li Dynasty wouldn’t have come to apologize and seek peace so meekly earlier.
The next day, Wu Xuanyuan gathered Wu Qiankun and the others. After listening to Wu Xuanyuan’s words, they nodded in agreement.
“Indeed, Yidao is a prodigy of our Wu Family, and it is necessary to find him a master.”
“However, Yidao possesses the Chaos Physique, and this secret absolutely cannot be revealed. Otherwise, the people from the Four Great Sacred Lands would definitely come to snatch him away, and if they can’t get him, they might not hesitate to resort to violence,” Wu Wandao’s words made Wu Xuanyuan and the others contemplate the issue. Indeed, the Four Great Sacred Lands always sought to destroy prodigies rather than let them get away, and that is how they solidified their own status.
If the news about Wu Yidao’s Chaos Physique were to leak, the Four Great Sacred Lands could quickly come to the Wu Family. If Wu Yidao didn’t join them, they might even destroy the entire Wu Family.
After some discussion, they soon brought this issue to their father, Wu Rulong. Upon hearing this news, Wu Rulong pondered for a moment and decided to pass the responsibility to his father.
“Let your grandfather handle it.”
When Wu Hao learned that Wu Xuanyuan and the others were planning to find a master for Wu Yidao, he was immediately taken aback. What was this? He was the Great Emperor. When did he need to find some mediocre Quasi-Emperor to be his great-grandson’s master?
So without hesitation, Wu Hao rejected the idea.
“There’s no need to find a master for Wu Yidao; let him go out and gain experience. With my protection, nothing will happen to him.”
After all, in Wu Hao’s understanding, the Child of Destiny was generally raised in a loosely regarded manner. For example, Wu Yifan had reached such a powerful level all on his own, after all.
Moreover, what is destiny? Destiny means the time isn’t right; it is impossible to be killed, like how Xiong Ba endured.
