Chapter 2698: A wisp of a soul
n gave a brief introduction to the situation at Zui Jiangnan Restaurant, then said, “I’m not good at managing restaurants. The current manager is also temporary. If my sister-in-law could come over an...Ye Bufan sneered inwardly, such eagerness to have him accept his inheritance, if there wasn't something fishy about it, even ghosts wouldn't believe it.
After going through so much, he deeply understands a truth: you can't expect things to come easy in life. If anything is falling from the sky, it's probably a heavy iron pie.
He shook his head again: “I think the techniques of my own sect are quite good, there’s no need to learn from others.”
"Frivolous, superficial, short-sighted."
Lingxu seemed quite flustered, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Little one, as I've told you before, I am a tribulation peak expert from the Immortal Realm. My cultivation techniques are unparalleled by any others."
If it weren't for the continuation of my lineage, and if I hadn't seen some potential in you, old man would have no patience to waste so many words with you.
With my inheritance and your talent, reaching the Transcending Tribulation stage wouldn't be a difficult feat at all.
Even after a thousand or ten thousand years, you can still ascend to the Immortal Realm, shedding your mortal form and transforming into an immortal. Wouldn't you want that
"Well, that's all I have to say. Opportunities don't come around often. I urge you to seize this one before it's too late, or you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"
Ye Bufan secretly smiled in his heart. Every word this old guy said revealed his eagerness. He was so eager for Ye Bufan to accept the inheritance, there must be something hidden behind it.
He sighed: "I appreciate your kindness, senior, but I'm really not a person with much ambition."
What's the point of becoming an immortal There is more joy in this mortal world!
"You..."
Lingxu Shangren was speechless for a moment, and it seemed that he was really angry.
He never imagined there were cultivators like this, who remained completely unmoved by temptation.
"Little one, your cultivation isn't too shabby. After all these years, haven't you figured out the principle yet"
In the cultivation world, strength is paramount. Only those with power truly hold sway; otherwise, one might fall on any given day.
You have obtained the inheritance of the old man. Even if you become the strongest in this cultivation world, it would be a matter of minutes. As for whether or not to ascend later, it's entirely up to you.
To ascend to immortality, to become a celestial being, or to conquer the world as a powerful ruler—isn't this a good choice
On this side, people were chattering non-stop, but Ye Bufan didn't hear a single word. Now he could be sure that the other party wanted him to accept the inheritance with ill intentions.
His only interest now was the Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo, thinking of how to get this treasure into his hands.
Lingxu Shangren was obviously a shrewd old man. Seeing Ye Bufan's gaze fixed on the Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo, he immediately understood what was going on and immediately shifted the focus of his persuasion.
"Little one, once you accept the inheritance, this Nine Heaven Lotus Embryo will be yours."
Ye Bufan asked, "Is this really a Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo How did you get it"
Of course it is the genuine Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo.
Lingxu Shangren said, "I don't know how much you understand about this treasure, but it is hard to find in the heavens and on the earth. It can be called a divine object without exaggeration."
Back then, I also went through nine deaths before coming back to life and paid a great price to get it into my hands.
As if to tempt Ye Bufan, he elaborated in detail.
The greatest effect of the Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo is that it can rebuild the flesh, and it is incredibly powerful, impervious to blades and fire. It can be called an immortal body.
But the biggest difficulty with this thing is that it's extremely difficult to mature. Generally, a Nine Heavens Lotus seed takes tens of thousands of years to mature, which is what we now see as black.
"Back then, I went to great lengths, exchanging all my treasures for spirit stones to nourish it. That's how it reached its mature form within five thousand years..."
After hearing Ling Xu Shangren's introduction, Ye Bufan finally understood why there wasn't a single treasure in the vast Lingxu Palace. It could be said that they had all been consumed by the Nine Heaven Lotus Embryo before him.
He then gave an incredulous look: "Really Is this thing really as powerful as you say, capable of helping people rebuild their bodies"
After all this talk, he still didn't seem to believe it. Lingxu’s tone was tinged with anger.
"Of course it's true, what kind of person do you think I am to deceive you"
Ye Bufan said casually: "Since that's the case, why don't you use Jiutian Liantai to recast yourself a new body"
"That's not because..."
Lingxu the Immortal was just about to speak when he suddenly realized something and immediately stopped.
He never expected this young man to be so cunning, he ended up revealing his own secrets in just a few words.
Ye Bufan smiled faintly: "Because you're just a remnant soul, you can't do that, can you That's why you want to seize my body"
Lingxu Shangren fell into a brief silence, obviously shocked.
"Little one, you've misunderstood again. I'm just a wisp of divine consciousness, incapable of possessing you."
It's obvious he wasn't willing to accept defeat and still wanted to make a last-ditch effort to salvage the situation.
"Well, old man, are you still trying to spin a yarn at this hour"
Ye Bufan chuckled, "I've seen divine consciousness and remnants of souls. The difference between the two is very clear to me."
If you were merely a wisp of divine consciousness left behind after ascending, you couldn't be so eager, so quick to react and urge me to accept your legacy, nor could you display such greed.
So you've been lying all along, it wasn't ascension to the Immortal Realm at all.
If I'm not mistaken, he probably failed his tribulation and ended up with his soul scattered. Only a sliver of his residual spirit remains, hiding in the Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo to barely survive.
You are currently incapable of rebuilding your physical body and can only hope to be reborn through possession.
That's why you just found Huo Xu unattractive and other people unqualified.
"Little one, it seems I underestimated you. This old man still underestimated the power of the tribulation. He failed to cross the tribulation."
But in the end, a glimmer of his soul miraculously remained, nurtured within this Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo for thousands of years.
Seeing his plans foiled, Lingxu the Immortal no longer bothered to hide.
"There's something you got wrong. Old man holds no ill will towards you, otherwise I would have directly taken over your body. Why go through all this trouble"
Ye Bufan smiled coldly: "It's not that you don't want to, but that you can't!"
You are far too weak to even hope to take my physical form.
"Little fellow, you're mistaken. You still underestimate the power of a Transcending Tribulation Peak expert."
Even as a wisp of a soul, I am thousands upon thousands of times stronger than you.
As they spoke, a ray of white light flowed from the black Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo, forming a white-haired old man in front of them.
This man looks white-bearded and kindly, but his eyes are fixed on Ye Bufan with an unquenchable greed, clearly yearning for his body.
At the same time, a powerful aura erupted from the phantom.
Although he had no physical body, his aura was incredibly powerful, pressing down on the surrounding space so heavily that even Ye Bufan couldn't move an inch.
"Boy, do you still think I can't possess you"
Ye Bufan took several steps back under the pressure of the powerful aura, but he still shook his head. "If you had the ability, you would have done it a long time ago. There's no need to be so fussy."
He could tell that the old geezer in front of him was definitely not a good person. If he was truly able to possess him, he wouldn't have wasted so many words.
If it wasn't done, there must be another reason for it.h, kid, are you trying to pick a fight on purpose"Zhao Haijiao finished speaking and got out of the car. She glanced at the several people, then sneered coldly: "I thought who was so bold, it turned o...
