Xu Yeming never expected that the Cangxuan Guardian Beast, renowned throughout the Chaos Realm, would choose to let him inherit its mantle.
After a brief moment of surprise, Dean Cangxuan's expression turned sorrowful.
Ye Qiubai glanced at Xu Yeming, then looked at the Cangxuan Guardian Beast. Sensing the deathly aura around him, he guessed the Cangxuan Guardian Beast's intention.
However, after a moment of shock, hesitation appeared in Xu Yeming's eyes.
Seeing that hint of hesitation, the Black Lord's heavy, stone-like eyelids twitched slightly, and a weak voice came out. "You're unwilling?"
Dean Cangxuan couldn't help but look at Xu Yeming.
Would you hesitate to accept the inheritance of the Cangxuan Guardian Beast?
That's someone who stands at the pinnacle of the Chaos Realm.
Xu Yeming nodded.
The Black Lord chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned. "Tell me, what are you hesitating about?"
Xu Yeming spoke his mind, looking directly into the Black Lord's enormous eyes, which seemed to have seen through the vicissitudes of life and understood everything, and said softly, "Senior is the guardian of the Chaos Realm. Since that's the case, if I accept your inheritance, it means that I also bear the heavy responsibility of protecting the Chaos Realm, right?"
The Black Lord nodded and said calmly, "That's right."
"But I still have things I want to do." Xu Yeming said with a wry smile, "But after doing this, I lost my goal. Although I lost my goal, I also know that I am not the kind of person with lofty ideals, and I will not think about protecting the Chaos Realm."
In Xu Yeming's view...
Helping his parents avenge their deaths and repaying his master's kindness were the things Xu Yeming wanted to do.
As for the others, what connection do they have with him?
Moreover, the Chaos Realm is inherently a place of deceit and treachery, where people will stop at nothing to gain profit.
What value is there in protecting such a place?
Seemingly sensing Xu Yeming's thoughts, the Black Lord Dragon Head moved slightly and said, "It's normal for you to have such thoughts, but you should think about it: the person you've set your sights on should be in this Chaos Realm, right? Protecting the Chaos Realm means protecting them, doesn't it?"
Xu Yeming said directly, "I can take them away from the Chaos Realm."
Dean Cangxuan: "..."
Ye Qiubai: "..."
The Black Lord paused for a moment, then continued, "If you received my inheritance, wouldn't you be better able to protect them?"
Xu Yeming said, "So, are you trying to brainwash me, senior?"
Dean Cangxuan looked at Ye Qiubai, somewhat stunned, and said, "Does your junior brother usually like to make sarcastic remarks like this?"
And this was against the Cangxuan Guardian Beast...
Ye Qiubai covered his face, which was full of helplessness.
The Black Lord suddenly laughed, "If it were anyone else, they would have agreed without hesitation when I offered to pass on my mantle, just like how many forces are now frantically searching for me after hearing that my life force has faded and I am about to come to an end."
"You've surprised me, but the more you do this, the more it shows that you won't do anything immoral after receiving my teachings."
This time.
Xu Yeming did not interrupt the Black Lord directly, but his expression was somewhat hesitant... and he seemed to be holding back.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qiubai's expression changed slightly. He seemed to know what Xu Yeming was about to say and wanted to stop him, but was interrupted by the Black Lord.
The Black Lord noticed this, and generously said, "Say what you want to say."
Xu Yeming looked up cautiously and asked, "Do you really want me to say it?"
"Real."
"You won't be angry, senior?"
The Black Lord smiled and said, "Having lived for so long, I've seen it all, so naturally I won't get angry over a single sentence."
Hearing this, Xu Yeming breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "Senior, aren't you being a bit shameless? You refuse someone who wants your inheritance, but instead want to give it to someone who rejected you."
Ye Qiubai slapped himself in the face.
really...
Dean Cangxuan stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
What kind of talk is this? Is this something you can say?
The Black Lord's eyelids twitched, and he remained silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Xu Yeming said, "Senior, you said it yourself, you won't be angry."
The Black Lord took a deep breath, feeling his deathly aura intensify, and then burst into a tirade. "Don't you know that the more you want something, the more ambitious you are? And your lack of ambition means you don't have that kind of ambition in your heart."
How can someone with ambition become a guardian?
Upon hearing this, Xu Yeming sneered, "If you have no ambition, obtaining the inherited power of your predecessors to become some kind of guardian is just like chaining yourself up for nothing. Wouldn't that be a terrible waste?"
The Black Lord was taken aback.
Although he felt that Xu Yeming was wrong, he just couldn't find a point to refute him!
That actually makes a damn good point!
At the same time, he was also somewhat helpless and a little angry.
This was the first time he had ever encountered someone like Xu Yeming, who actually looked down on his inheritance?!
You know, if I said those words to just anyone, they'd be begging to kneel down and kowtow!
But there's nothing I can do.
Who could withstand the weight of his legacy if only Xu Yeming's physique could bear it?
Thinking about this...
The Black Lord decided to tolerate Xu Yeming's actions and continued, "But you see, although accepting my inheritance will entail the responsibility of a guardian, there haven't been any times in recent years when a guardian has needed to intervene. In fact, the number of times I have intervened can be counted on one hand."
Xu Yeming, "Then haven't you already lost all your life force?"
"My lifespan has come to an end!"
"So you see, it's because of the title of guardian that the senior couldn't focus on his cultivation, let alone venture out to other places, which is why his realm couldn't break through and his lifespan couldn't be extended further."
You fucking...
The Black Lord finally couldn't hold back any longer and burst out cursing, "Where did you get all this nonsense from, brat?"
"Don't you think what I said makes sense, senior?"
Black Lord paused, unable to defend himself, and could only look at Dean Cangxuan.
Dean Cangxuan opened his mouth, as if to say something, but only managed a wry smile and said, "That does make sense."
Since the Black Lord is able to stand at the top of the Chaos Realm, it has already proven his talent.
If it weren't for the need to be distracted by protecting the Chaos Realm, I would have already gone out to explore.
"See?" Xu Yeming shrugged and looked at the Cangxuan Guardian Beast, saying, "Besides, I think my master's teachings on cultivation are no less effective than the inheritance from our predecessors."
Ye Qiubai nodded in agreement.
He thought so too.
The Black Lord, however, caught the word "Master" in Xu Yeming's words and couldn't help but ask, "Oh? It seems your Master is very strong, even surpassing my inheritance?"
Xu Yeming countered, "Since you know about my physique, do you know how to cultivate it?"
"This..."
This kind of physique has never appeared before, so how could anyone know how to cultivate it in such a short time?
"My master knew that," Xu Yeming said with a smile. "And I also know that my master might be able to resolve the situation when your life force is cut off."
