Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 401 - 223: She’s Taking a Shower, I Can Relay the Message (6500 words)_2

But she quickly suppressed the urge, her face flushing slightly. To think I had such impolite thoughts about a mere boy.

Soon, she was plunged into shock once more. The entire void was enveloped in a cyan immortal radiance. Rosy clouds suffused the air and mist coiled all around. Wang Xiu’s figure floated within this sea of fog, a luminous light emanating from behind him and transforming into the shadow of an ancient emperor.

The Qing Emperor, also known as the Longevity Emperor. He once stood proud above all ages, holding up the sky for the Human Race during its dark eons. His deeds were of unparalleled merit, earning him eternal reverence.

He left behind only a single inheritance: the Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture. Only by comprehending the scripture to a sufficiently profound Realm could one manifest the Qing Emperor’s phantom.

It really was the Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture!

This kid is so devious! Snow Ancestor’s red lips pursed slightly, her full chest heaving as her cheeks flushed with astonishment.

The Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture is an Imperial Scripture. How could it possibly be easy to comprehend?

Even for a heaven’s pride with exceptional talent, simply gaining a rudimentary understanding of an Imperial Scripture is incredibly difficult. It requires immense insight and great opportunities, not to mention the aid of rare and precious heavenly materials!

Furthermore, cultivating to the stage where one could manifest the emperor’s shadow was even more inconceivable.

Moreover, Wang Xiu had said he only obtained a fragment of the Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture. This made the difficulty even more terrifying—to call it as hard as ascending to the heavens would not be an exaggeration. It was practically impossible.

Could the talent of someone with a Twelve-color Nascent Soul truly be this monstrous? For a moment, Snow Ancestor felt an unprompted pang of envy.

"So, Senior, I wasn’t lying, was I?" Having calmed his aura, Wang Xiu opened his eyes and looked at Snow Ancestor.

"This Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture... where exactly did you learn it?" Snow Ancestor was still reeling from the shock. An Imperial Scripture that had been lost for a thousand years reappearing before her very eyes was simply too staggering.

"I chanced upon it in an ancient ruin within the Ancient Sanctuary," Wang Xiu replied.

The explanation was vague, but it was also the most plausible. The Ancient Sanctuary was the origin of many Immortal Sect inheritances. This was especially true for the Void Ancient Path within it, where countless Void Vortices connected to different worlds. No one could say for certain what kinds of opportunities were hidden there.

Many an Immortal Sect’s foundational scripture had been obtained from there. Although the Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture was one of the Sanqing Immortal Sect’s core Imperial Scriptures, that didn’t mean the sect had any direct connection to the Longevity Emperor of the past.

The Longevity Emperor was a figure from the ancient era. It was simply that an ancestor of the Sanqing Immortal Sect, from a time long since past, had a great fortuitous encounter and obtained the Longevity Emperor’s inheritance. That was how it was passed down to this day.

Therefore, no one could be certain if the Longevity Emperor had left other inheritances that had fallen into other hands.

Snow Ancestor’s emotions were in turmoil, and the wind and snow around her whipped about, chaotically striking the void. After a long moment, she gazed at Wang Xiu, her beautiful eyes shining with a benevolent light. "Truly worthy of a prodigy who can form a Twelve-color Nascent Soul, a genius rarely seen in all of history. Little Zhuozi was right. The hope for the Sanqing Immortal Sect’s resurgence will most likely fall upon your shoulders! With this, I can finally rest assured!"

Hearing this, Wang Xiu looked surprised. "Senior... are you still determined to die?"

Snow Ancestor’s expression froze. "...Not... exactly."

I was just offering some standard words of encouragement, how did he arrive at such a conclusion?

Wang Xiu lamented, "I had assumed, Senior, that you wished to pass your essence on to me because your lifespan was approaching its end. I never imagined your resolve to die was so absolute!"

Snow Ancestor stammered, "It’s... not that absolute!"

Wang Xiu sighed. "So be it. Though my experience is limited, I know that death is not the most terrifying thing in this world. Often, living is far more frightening... Since your mind is made up, Senior, I cannot force you against your will. Insisting you live on would only be a form of torture for you.

"I wish I could persuade you to live well—for the sake of the Sanqing Immortal Sect, for the sake of the Human Race... But I understand one cannot be so selfish!"

Snow Ancestor coughed twice, slightly embarrassed. "You’ve misunderstood..."

Wang Xiu straightened his back, his expression grave and his eyes welling with tears. He declared in a loud, righteous voice, "This junior may be untalented, but I am willing to see you off on your final journey! Wang Xiu, a junior disciple of the Divination Sect, respectfully sends the Old Ancestor on her way to the heavens!"

Snow Ancestor was speechless.

The atmosphere had been pushed to this point. Now it feels like it would be inappropriate if I *didn’t* die, doesn’t it?

The wind howled and the snow swirled. Snow Ancestor’s heart was in turmoil. Her white hair whipped about, her chest heaved rapidly, and she clenched her silver teeth.

Just then, she caught a glimpse of a wicked smile playing on the corners of Wang Xiu’s lips. She instantly understood. He was getting his revenge, retaliating for her earlier act.

That little brat! She thought back to how, no matter how he had tried to dissuade her, she had put on an act of being determined to die today, even uttering such shameful words. Snow Ancestor couldn’t help but feel her own cheeks burn.

It’s too humiliating! To have lost my composure in front of a junior! Where is my dignity as an Old Ancestor? This is infuriating...

"Ahem, I suddenly realize you are correct. To simply die would be easy, but it is also an extremely irresponsible act. My thinking was misguided," Snow Ancestor said, placing one hand behind her back and sighing, feigning a cool aloofness.

"So, you’re not going to die anymore?" Wang Xiu looked up, his eyes darting about with a hint of disappointment.

"I am not!" Snow Ancestor ground out through clenched teeth, her chest nearly bursting with rage.

What kind of person is he! He has no respect for his elders whatsoever!

"Very well! This junior will now impart the fragment of the Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture and help you achieve initial mastery..." Seeing that his point was made, Wang Xiu took the initiative and began to share some of the techniques from the scripture with Snow Ancestor.

The Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture was an Imperial Scripture. It contained the entire lifetime of cultivation insights and the core principles of the Great Dao from a Great Emperor of the Human Race. It was incredibly complex, containing not only cultivation methods but also all manner of secret techniques and Divine Skills.
