Chapter 672: Worse than pigs and dogs

Chapter 672: Worse than pigs and dogs

Ouyang Xuanzhen's voice resonated across the Ancient Demon Desolate Land.

“Let the Great Expansion Dao Gate's disciples step forward so Elder Yun He can have his pick. See if there's anyone among you who can catch his eye.”

In an instant, countless cultivators from the Great Expansion Dao Gate soared into the air, gathering before Elder Yun He. Some wore dignified expressions with a hint of respect in their eyes. Others appeared frivolous and disdainful, while some scrutinized him with a sense of superiority.

“Senior Yun He, am I qualified? I have been cultivating for over one hundred and forty years and am already at the early stage of Nascent Soul Realm.”

“Elder Yun He, I have cultivated for eighty-seven years, and I am at the late stage of the Golden Core Realm. There are three orthodox Dao Sects in the world, and the Great Expansion Dao Gate is one of them. By passing on the dao techniques to us, we can enhance the prestige of Dao Sects.”

“Elder Yun He, I have cultivated for less than eight hundred springs and I am at the peak of the Enlightenment Realm. Even though my talent is lacking, my Dao heart is as solid as a rock, and I should be able to inherit the Dao techniques you hold.”

Seeing the swarming cultivators of the Great Expansion Dao Gate, the Morning Star Dao Sect and Innate Dao Sect's disciples were unwilling to fall behind, and they flew up to Yun He, each taking turns to speak.

As Dao cultivators, they held an inherent advantage in vying for the teachings of Yun He. However, various factions would not miss such an opportunity. Under the instruction of their elders, they approached too. Even some sect elders joined the fray, offering sweet words to persuade Yun He to grant them the techniques.

Fang Chen watched this scene and suddenly felt a sense of deja vu. This scene reminded him of elderly people lying on their deathbeds as their filial sons and grandsons competed for their inheritance before they passed away.

Fang Chen was a little relieved when he saw that the Void Immortal Sword Sect's disciples didn't join in on the shenanigans. Perhaps they looked down on the competition, or it could simply be because the old sword immortal had already taken "Fang Zhentian's” inheritance.

After all, no one person could hoard all the benefits to themselves. If they didn't share some, even the Void Immortal Sword Sect wouldn't be able to withstand the combined pressure from all the other factions.

Gai Yunuo glanced at Gai Hong. “Brother, aren't you going to give it a try?”

“The Dao Sect's methods don't suit me, so I won't go,” Gai Hong replied with a faint smile. “How many do you think will receive Elder Yun He's inheritance?”

“There are a lot of Immortal Seedlings present, even more than during the last visit to the Immortal Dynasty Manor. I reckon three to five could obtain it,” Gai Yunuo pondered aloud.

Just then, several figures soared through the sky. Gai Hong's subordinates were about to step forward to intercept them, but Gai Hong waved his hand with a smile.

“Old Nine is here. I heard that his subordinates misunderstood his intentions recently, causing some chaos at the Azure Dao Manor. It seems even the Desolate Academy is aware of it, and some have voiced their criticisms,” Gai Yunuo transmitted his thoughts with a chuckle.

The cultivators who weren't chosen looked displeased. One of them shouted at Yun He, "Senior, why can they be granted the technique, but not me?"

Yun He wore a smile, seemingly ignoring him.

As the person grew increasingly frustrated, he couldn't help but mutter angrily, "As expected, it's just a remnant soul. No matter how powerful they were in the past, they are now neither man nor ghost."

"Yes, why are you talking to a remnant soul? It all depends on his mood. If he's in a good mood, he might grant you the technique; if he's in a bad mood, you won't even get a fart," someone mocked.

Suddenly, one of the cultivators who had received the inheritance opened his eyes and angrily exclaimed, "The inheritance I received is the Five Element Controlling Technique!? What kind of technique is this? I've understood this technique since I started cultivating at seven years old!"

"Damn it, I got the Fireball Technique!"

"I got the Ice Arrow Technique."

"I'm a bit better off; I got the Divine Movement Talisman. At least it counts as a Talisman Inheritance. If I had received it during my Qi Refining Realm, it might have helped, but I am at the Enlightenment Realm right now, what am I supposed to do with this? It seems Senior Yun He's mind isn't working quite alright."

The cultivators who received inheritance nearly all cursed at Yun He in unison, expressing their displeasure.

At that moment, someone's cold voice rang out, "Senior Yun He, do you really not recognize this person? His name is Hong Qing. I've heard he received your true inheritance in the past. If you don't want to see him die before you, please grant him the method.”

The crowd paused slightly, and all factions turned their attention to the few cultivators from the Great Expansion Dao Gate.

Is this a public threat?

Everyone wore strange expressions and refrained from intervening, curious to see if threatening Yun He would achieve its intended purpose. If it did, they could simply follow suit in the future.

Yun He's gaze was blank. "Hong Qing...."

Hong Qing, who also looked confused, suddenly saw his expression turn dark. He coldly swept a glance at the group of cultivators from the Great Expansion Dao Gate. "You bunch of trash, you're worse than pigs and dogs."

"Haha, I knew you were just pretending to be mad and silly. Can't keep up the act now, can you?"
