Who will inherit this legacy?!
The moment they turned around, Ji Zining and the others' gazes were fixed on the white coffin.
Or rather, it was a figure in white robes sitting cross-legged atop a white coffin.
This white-robed figure was incredibly solid, indistinguishable from any other living being.
However, he possessed no physical essence, only a strong aura of divine soul.
This situation indicates that the white-robed figure is merely a spirit, not a real living being.
Upon seeing the white-robed figure, Ji Zining and the other two couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Is this the master of the white palace world?
Was he testing them to see if they were qualified to receive his legacy because he didn't come out just now?
If they had insisted, this senior probably wouldn't have shown up, right?
However, this time it was a bit strange; this powerful Great Emperor actually let them choose for themselves who would inherit his legacy.
In the previous instances, these powerful Great Emperor themselves selected their successors.
After all, the successor chosen by oneself is the most suitable.
Letting the prospective successors choose their own candidates seems rather unreliable!
Ji Zining came to her senses and bowed slightly to the white-robed figure.
"Senior, you just said that we can choose our own successors? Does that mean that no matter who we choose, you will grant them the inheritance?"
The figure in white robes nodded slightly upon hearing this.
"That's right, that's exactly what I mean. It doesn't matter which of the three of you comes."
At this point, the figure in white robes glanced at Li Chang'an with great interest.
"The same goes for this kid who got the Old Man Sword."
"I, the Saber Emperor, always keep my word."
After speaking, the white-robed figure turned his gaze and gave Ji Zining a deep look.
When he came out, he realized that this woman was actually Exquisite Immortal Physique!
Having the same physique as Empress Linglong, if I were to inherit her legacy, I'm suddenly looking forward to that scene.
Upon hearing the words of the white-robed figure, the Saber Emperor, Li Chang'an scratched his head.
It seems like he received a legacy before, so is it possible that he didn't receive any further inheritance?
Although the inheritance of the Saber Emperor was tempting, Li Chang'an knew it was not suitable for him.
He doesn't practice the way of the sword; he specializes in the way of the sword, which is contrary to the way of the sword. Receiving the inheritance may not be a good thing; it's more like a bad thing.
Without thinking, Li Chang'an patted Xiao Jing on the shoulder.
" Xiao Jing, the legacy of the Saber Emperor is most suited to you. This time, you shall take the lead."
Ji Zining glanced at Li Chang'an and nodded slightly.
"That's right, Li Chang'an and I both practice swordsmanship, but you're the only one among the three of us who practices sabers."
"The legacy of the Saber Emperor is most fitting for you."
Upon hearing their words, Xiao Jing's eyes showed a hint of emotion.
This wasn't the Saber Emperor designating his successor; rather, they chose him themselves.
Ji Zining and Li Chang'an declined because the inheritance didn't suit them, but this was the inheritance of Great Emperor!
Even if they didn't agree, they would still benefit greatly from it, but Ji Zining and Li Chang'an didn't recommend themselves; instead, they both chose to give it to him.
Xiao Jing didn't speak, but nodded emphatically.
Ji Zining smiled, turned around, and bowed slightly to the white-robed figure Saber Emperor.
"Senior Saber Emperor, we have made our choice. Xiao Jing will inherit your legacy."
The Saber Emperor witnessed the three people's choices and words throughout, and upon hearing Ji Zining's words, he revealed an amused expression.
"This is the first time I've seen my legacy being passed around like this."
"Come here, little one, the sharp edge of this coffin won't hurt you."
After speaking, the Saber Emperor stepped down from under the coffin and waved to Xiao Jing.
After nodding gratefully to Ji Zining and Li Chang'an, Xiao Jing took a deep breath and walked towards the white coffin.
Approaching the coffin, the Saber Emperor glanced at Xiao Jing and nodded in satisfaction.
" Your Saber Intent has reached perfection, that's good. After receiving my inheritance, you should be able to comprehend the Quasi-Emperor Law."
At this point, the Saber Emperor pointed to the portal at the far end behind the coffin.
"That's the entrance to the next burial chamber, the last one to be used as a burial chamber."
"Once you reach that tomb chamber, the young man who inherited the Old Man Sword's legacy, regardless of whether he has chosen you or not, cannot proceed further."
"Further ahead is the main burial chamber, the Empress's tomb. Only this little girl is allowed to go there."
After speaking, the Saber Emperor waved to Ji Zining and Li Chang'an.
"Alright, you guys should leave now. I need to pass on my inheritance to this kid."
"This place will be somewhat dangerous then; with your strength, your lives will be in danger."
Ji Zining and Li Chang'an exchanged a glance, then respectfully cupped their hands in greeting to the Saber Emperor.
"Thank you very much, senior! We'll take our leave now!"
After speaking, Ji Zining and Li Chang'an nodded slightly to Xiao Jing, then walked around the white coffin and headed towards the back door.
The Saber Emperor watched the two figures disappear into the distance, his expression of amusement deepening.
"The kid who inherited the Old Man Sword's legacy goes to the Sword Madman's tomb—just thinking about it is hilarious."
Xiao Jing glanced at the Saber Emperor in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
This Saber Emperor seems a bit unreliable!
Is there anything wrong with his succession plan?
After Ji Zining and Li Chang'an entered the gate, the Saber Emperor withdrew his gaze and smiled at Xiao Jing.
"Come on, let's begin!"
Xiao Jing came to his senses and bowed slightly to the Saber Emperor.
"Thank you for your help, senior!"
A strange expression couldn't help but appear on the Saber Emperor's face.
"I hope you'll still find it troublesome for me later, since my inheritance process is a bit different."
"There might be some... pain! Well, just some, not much."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jing couldn't help but shudder.
Is this a sign of being tortured?
In the next instant, within the white palace world, terrifying sharpness suddenly appeared everywhere.
Immediately afterwards, a scream echoed continuously throughout the white palace world.
"Ah..."
Xiao Jing never dreamed that the succession of the Saber Emperor would be achieved through being beaten!
Inside the passageway.
Ji Zining suddenly stopped and glanced behind her with some suspicion.
" Li Chang'an, did you hear any screams?"
Li Chang'an listened carefully and nodded hesitantly.
"It sounds like screams, and they sound familiar, kind of like..."
Ji Zining continued.
" Xiao Jing's!"
Li Chang'an nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, it's Xiao Jing's!"
After saying that, Li Chang'an couldn't help but show a worried expression.
"Will there be any problems?"
Ji Zining withdrew her gaze and shook her head.
"He should be fine. Although that Saber Emperor seems a bit unreliable, his condition is undeniable."
"Given his current condition, it's impossible to possess him. It's probably because the inheritance process was somewhat special and painful."
Li Chang'an thought about it and realized it made sense, so he looked away.
"Then let's continue forward. When we reach the last side hall, Your Divine Son Hall, you will have to go to the main burial chamber by yourself."
He heard what the Saber Emperor said very clearly: he couldn't go to the main tomb chamber; only Ji Zining could go.
Although he doesn't quite understand, he will comply.
It's best to behave properly when you're in someone else's territory.
Ji Zining smiled and walked towards the end of the passageway.
"Who knows, the next side hall might hold the inheritance waiting for you?"
"Hurry up, we're almost done exploring this Ancient Chaos Graveyard!"
Upon hearing Ji Zining's words, a hint of anticipation appeared on Li Chang'an's face.
Will this final burial chamber hold a legacy for him?
Li Chang'an glanced at Ji Zining's retreating figure as she disappeared around the corner of the passageway, shook his head, and quickly followed.
Whether it's true or not, once you go and find out, you'll know everything.
