"Interested?" The Great One’s statue raised its eyebrows at Yuan’s words.
"You’re merely interested in my Legacy? You know, even Immortals and Gods covet my Legacy." The Great One’s statue said to him.
"Yes, but it sounds like a lot of responsibility," Yuan said.
"Responsibility? Hahaha! Of course, it’s a lot of responsibility! Not anyone can just obtain the Great One’s Legacy!"
"What is the Great One’s Legacy, anyway? ording to my knowledge, I only have to ascend to the upper heavens and find the real Great One, right?"
"That’s the gist of it, yes. However, there are more things you should keep in mind."
The Great One’s eyes suddenly flickered with a profound light, and it continued, "First and foremost, once you obtain the Legacy, you will have exactly 100 years to find the real Great One who is always wandering the Nine Heavens."
"100 years? That’s a long time..." Yuan mumbled.
The Great One’s statue raised its eyebrows. 100 years is a long time? In its eyes, 100 years could disappear in the blink of an eye, especially for most Immortals that can live for millions of years with ease.
"Next, you are only allowed to hold the Great One’s Legacy once in your lifetime, so if you happen to run into another chance to obtain the Great One’s Legacy, just know that you won’t be able to ept it."
"There will be other chances to obtain this Legacy?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"Yes. The Great One has multiple trials spread across the Nine Heavens so everyone has a chance to obtain his Legacy."
"Does this mean there can be more than one person carrying the Great One’s Legacy at one time?" Yuan asked.
The statue nodded and said, "There are currently 99 people who are carrying the Great One’s Legacy as of this moment. If you ept it, you will be the 100th person. However, nobody has been able toplete the Legacy— not even the people at the upper heavens."
"Can there only be one person whopletes the Legacy?" Yuan then asked.
"No, there can be multiple people. However, the earlier youplete it, the better your rewards."
"I see..."
"Anyways, as for thest thing you should know about the Great One’s Legacy... There’s actually a curse within it that will make your cultivation life harder if you ept it."
"Huh? A curse?" Yuan raised his eyebrows again.
"It’s nothing malicious, but if you ept it, you might lose some of your luck, and there may be unfortunate encounters that you would otherwise not experience if you weren’t carrying the Great One’s Legacy. Basically, it will make things more difficult for you. If you can ovee the curse and find the Great One while carrying this Legacy, you will be awarded immense wealth that would make even Immortals and Gods jealous."
"Do you ept this Legacy?" The statue asked him.
Ding!
[You have been offered to carry the Great One’s Legacy!]
[Do you ept?]
Yuan didn’t immediately answer, and after pondering for a few moments, he said, "I have a question before I decide."
"..."
The statue was speechless. If it was anybody else, they would’ve long epted the Legacy.
"If I ept the Great One’s Legacy, can I ept another Legacy in the future if I have the chance?" Yuan asked.
"You... You’re a greedy one." The statue responded in a dumbfounded voice.
After a moment of silence, the statue continued to speak, "There is no limit on how many Legacy one can carry at a time. However, don’t bite more than you can chew."
Yuan nodded, "Since that’s the case, I will ept the Great One’s Legacy."
"Good!"
The statue’s eyes suddenly glowed brightly before shooting a golden beam of light inside Yuan’s body.
Ding!
[You have epted the Great One’s Legacy!]
[You have 100 years to find the Great One!]
[Because of the Great One’s Legacy, you have been cursed with ’Minor Misfortune’!]
[Minor Misfortune]
[Curse Grade: Heaven]
[Description: A curse that lowers your Luck by 500]
"You now carry the Great One’s Legacy— carry it with pride and honor. Good luck." The statue said to him.
"Oh! Before you go, can you tell me where the treasure room is? I looked everywhere but still couldn’t find it... Even a little hint is good enough." Yuan suddenly said to it.
The statue didn’t say anything, but its gaze turned to look in a certain direction for a good moment before it flew around the city nine times before returning to its original ce and turning back into a metal statue.
"Thank you." Yuan bowed to the statue before flying towards the direction it had hinted.
Sometimeter, Yuan reached the end of the city, yet he still couldn’t find the treasure room.
He then decided to fly back and forth this same path a few more times just in case he missed something, but s, the treasure room still remained nowhere to be seen.
Yuan decided to stop and ponder for some time.
This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
A few minutester, he turned to look at the area outside the city, which was only a destend that had no signs of life.
"Maybe the treasure room is outside the city and somewhere in this destend?" Yuan mumbled to himself.
After taking a deep breath, Yuan decided to leave the city and enter the destend.
The moment Yuan left the city, he could feel an ominous feeling looming around him, almost like there were people looking at him from every direction.
Furthermore, the spiritual energy waspletely differentpared to inside the city— it was more chaotic and impure.
’I sure hope this is the right way and the statue wasn’t just ying with me...’ Yuan swallowed nervously.
After flying straight for an hour, Yuan suddenly felt a chill down his spine, causing him to turn around.
When he turned around, he was greeted by a massive shadowy figure that resembled a dragon following a few miles behind him. However, because of its massive and long size, it looked like it was right behind him.
"W-What the heck is that?!" Yuan felt his heart skip a beat after seeing this unknown entity suddenly behind him.
