Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 1543: Quasi-Immortal Venerable Inheritance
This is a male corpse, it looks like a middle-aged man, so it’s clearly not from old age.
His fatal wound is on the left chest, where a hole was blasted through. Even after who knows how many years, one can still see the distinct scorch marks and faint flames flickering.
Shi Hao immediately remembered, the Selfless Immortal Venerable mentioned that he was killed by a Fire Attribute Immortal Venerable.
So, this should be the corpse of the Selfless Immortal Venerable.
Amazing, after so many years, the flames in his wound have not extinguished and are still flickering. No wonder he, strong as a quasi-Immortal Venerable, couldn’t heal and eventually fell on the quest for the supreme Great Medicine.
Would this Immortal Venerable leave any legacy?
With the mark of the Selfless Immortal Venerable on his body, the quasi-Immortal Venerable corpse shouldn’t repel Shi Hao, but the flames inside the corpse might not be so obliging.
As it’s truly left by an Immortal Venerable, even after so many years, it continues to burn with potentially terrifying power.
Shi Hao sensed with the Little Star Universe, and was suddenly moved to awe.
Though this flame is only faint, its danger level definitely rivals the earlier plant, and just a bit of contact would absolutely burn one’s soul completely.
So the Selfless Immortal Venerable seemed to have a fatal wound on his left chest, his heart blasted apart, but the real threat was that the flame incinerated his soul.
The body is the foundation, but the soul is the core. Without a soul, the body can only slowly die.
But who knows how many years have passed, the flame’s power has diminished greatly, and now that the Selfless Immortal Venerable is dead, it has become dormant and isn’t currently aggressive.
—unless provoked.
Shi Hao slowly approached, and boom, he immediately sensed a powerful aura exuding from the corpse, attempting to crush him.
A tiger dies, yet its might remains!
This is a quasi-Immortal Venerable’s corpse, who dares desecrate it?
However, with the mark of the Selfless Immortal Venerable on Shi Hao, the aura surged once but quickly halted, seemingly acknowledging Shi Hao.
Phew!
Shi Hao took a deep breath; it would have been frustrating to come this far only to find himself unable to approach the corpse.
He carefully moved closer, now the quasi-Immortal Venerable’s body wouldn’t attack him, but the flame probably wouldn’t follow suit.
As he got nearer, Shi Hao could sense more clearly.
This flame, so domineering!
An Immortal Venerable is truly formidable, striking with earth-shattering terror beyond words.
Yet, after one strike, the power will inevitably weaken and disappear; it cannot endure eternity.
Why does this flame not extinguish?
Because it’s drawing energy from the Selfless Immortal Venerable’s body, using the quasi-Immortal Venerable’s flesh as fuel to sustain its existence.
So, how could it not be domineering?
First obliterate your soul, then use your flesh and blood as nutrients to completely incinerate your body, leaving nothing behind!
Otherwise, for an existence like a quasi-Immortal Venerable, the corpse would be nearly indestructible, easily preserving for billions of years.
Then potentially new intelligence could emerge from the body, relying on its powerful flesh, the cultivation would definitely be overwhelmingly strong, possibly breaching Immortal Venerable challenges someday.
Thus, to prevent such occurrences, if an Immortal Venerable strikes, it’s bound to be ruthlessly thorough, leaving no future troubles.
Now, could new intelligence possibly arise from this corpse?
Impossible, it would only be slowly burned away.
Shi Hao cautiously searched the Selfless Immortal Venerable’s corpse, and soon, he found something.
A Memory Crystal Stone.
He took it out and activated it.
Instantly, the figure of the Selfless Immortal Venerable appeared and began to speak.
"Successor, if you are seeing this image, it means I am already dead." He sighed, "I have cultivated to a quasi-Immortal Venerable, only a sliver short of launching a usurping battle. Unfortunately, years of concealment ultimately were discovered by that old scoundrel who struck prematurely, causing great injury."
"To seek the supreme Great Medicine for healing, I ventured into the Forbidden Land, but the injury was too severe for me to advance any further."
"Now, I share my cultivation method with you, hoping your luck surpasses mine, realizing my unfulfilled aspirations."
"Remember, until you can step out and initiate a usurping battle, do stay low and patient. I held back for so many years, but ultimately couldn’t resist waging a massacre in the end, thus exposing myself. Reflecting now, it remains deeply regrettable!"
"Hurry, my flame is continually burning me, consuming every bit of essence, after which, I can’t leave the inheritance!"
"Now, according to my method, proceed to receive my legacy!"
Followed by instructions on how to accept the legacy, yada yada.
"Rat, how about you take this inheritance?" Shi Hao said to the Purple Gold Rat.
He has carved his own path and doesn’t need another’s legacy, maybe just for reference, but it would be a waste to just do that.
"I have my own path, set long ago." The Purple Gold Rat shook its head, "You should take it at least as a reference."
Shi Hao considered and then summoned the three ladies, Su Manman, Weng Nanqing, and Woo Yueyi, letting them decide if they want to inherit the quasi-Immortal Venerable’s legacy.
On hearing this, all three were startled.
What happened?
Quasi-Immortal Venerable’s legacy?
For them, even stepping into the Immortal King realm is difficult, and now, a quasi-Immortal Venerable’s legacy is right in front of them?
According to the Selfless Immortal Venerable’s secret technique, acquiring his legacy doesn’t guarantee becoming a quasi-Immortal Venerable, but with such means, entering the Immortal King realm would be absolutely easy. This is a quasi-Immortal Venerable’s complete legacy, superior even to normal Immortal Venerable disciples.
—Not every Immortal Venerable disciple can obtain the complete legacy of an Immortal Venerable.
Thus, such opportunity is incredibly precious.
But now, Shi Hao nonchalantly offers it to them.
"You don’t need it?" the three ladies all look at Shi Hao.
Shi Hao shook his head, "Both the Rat and I have our paths to follow, so we don’t need it."
Su Manman thought for a moment, "I’m too lazy, most afraid of cultivation, so I don’t want it."
Weng Nanqing and Woo Yueyi didn’t speak, but their eyes showed desire.
They are different, longing for great strength, able to relieve Shi Hao’s troubles.
Thus, obtaining the Selfless Immortal Venerable’s legacy allows them to swiftly rise, achieving the Immortal King status, and not worry about burdening Shi Hao. On the contrary, they can significantly help Shi Hao.
Shi Hao didn’t decide for them, instead he said, "How about rock-paper-scissors?"
The two women were speechless; this is a quasi-Immortal Venerable’s legacy. Can you be a bit more serious, a little more solemn?
