The legacy of an Ancient Great Power?

Mo Qi was completely baffled.

’Are they talking about me?’

’I obtained the legacy of an Ancient Great Power?’

’When did that happen? How come I, the person involved, have no idea?’

’If I really had to name a legacy, I suppose there’s the Three Kowtows of the Unmoving Nether King, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the outstanding performances of Liu Hui and the others!’

Besides, Mo Qi didn’t believe the Nether King’s legacy could have been exposed.

This was clearly being orchestrated by a mastermind behind the scenes.

’What legacy of an Ancient Great Power? This is just a fabrication, a scheme to push me into the spotlight and make me a public enemy.’

After hearing Huangfu Yu’s master speak, Mo Qi finally understood why the people from the other Sub-Palaces were targeting him.

In fact, he and the Pig Emperor had already had their suspicions, but they hadn’t expected the person behind this to be so vicious.

They had thought, at worst, someone would spread false rumors about him possessing a Precious Treasure. They never imagined it would escalate directly to the legacy of an Ancient Great Power.

This wasn’t just about making him the common enemy of his peers. It also made him an object of envy for the older generation of experts, and even Immortals.

’They’re trying to get me killed!’

Mo Qi couldn’t figure it out. Among all the people who held a grudge against him, who could possibly pull off something on this scale?

More importantly, if this person already had enough influence to sway over fifty Sub-Palaces, why not just act directly?

Why go through all this trouble?

’Are they trying to play a game of cat and mouse?’

’What a psycho!’

The six words "legacy of an Ancient Great Power" were like a bombshell, stunning everyone into silence.

"Ancient Times" referred to a mysterious era, one for which almost no detailed records existed.

The occasional traces and clues about the "Ancient Times" found in some forgotten corner often revealed only mystery and immense power.

But even these fragmented traces and clues were enough to create one terrifyingly powerful expert after another.

Once, a frenzy of excavating and searching for remnants of the "Ancient Times" had swept the entire continent. Even the Saint Ancestors of the Immortal Realm had participated.

This showed just how great the allure of the "Ancient Times" was for Cultivators.

To say nothing of the "legacy of an Ancient Great Power."

If not for the fact that many of the experts still doubted the authenticity of this news, coupled with the restrictions of the Sub-Palace exchange rules, they would have long since swarmed him, performed a Soul Search, and carved him up for themselves.

This was also why they hadn’t acted personally, instead having their juniors challenge Mo Qi through the exchange.

"An innocent man gets into trouble for the treasure he carries. One shouldn’t bite off more than they can chew. The legacy of an Ancient Great Power is immensely precious; we cannot allow it to gather dust."

Huangfu Yu’s master pointed at Mo Qi and continued, "This boy is still young and his experience is shallow. He is fundamentally incapable of unleashing the essence of an Ancient Great Power’s legacy."

"This is a betrayal of the Ancient Great Power, an insult to that brilliant era!"

"Therefore, I propose that he contribute the legacy of the Ancient Great Power for all of our Sub-Palaces to study together. Only then can we ensure it is put to its greatest possible use!"

The moment Huangfu Yu’s master finished speaking, the expression on everyone’s face changed.

Those who already knew something of the inside story now looked grim.

They hadn’t expected Huangfu Yu’s master to reveal this information so directly. Now, even more experts would have their eyes on Mo Qi.

This meant that the competition for the prize would become even more intense.

As for the experts from the many Sub-Palaces who had remained neutral, their faces were now filled with shock and suspicion.

’The legacy of an Ancient Great Power!’

’Is it real?!’

’No wonder all these Sub-Palaces ganged up on a junior. So this was their plan all along!’

’Regardless of whether the news is true or false, since things have already come to this, we have to get involved and take a piece of the pie.’

At this thought, with the exception of a very small number of Sub-Palaces, everyone’s gaze fixed on Mo Qi, their eyes filled with curiosity and greed.

"Say, do you just make up this nonsense as you go? The legacy of an Ancient Great Power? Could you be any more ridiculous?" Mo Qi laughed, looking at Huangfu Yu’s master as he retorted.

"If I really had the legacy of an Ancient Great Power, why the hell would I be here at this exchange with you all? I’d have found a place to hide and cultivate long ago, and I wouldn’t come out until I became an Immortal."

Huangfu Yu’s master was unmoved. His gaze swept over Liu Hui, Jin Sanpang, and Niu Kexin one by one before he sneered, "Stop trying to hide it. Unless you can explain where their talent came from!"

Mo Qi shrugged helplessly. "How else? They were born with it. Did you think everyone is as stupid as you?"

"Hmph, provoking me is useless! I see you’re the type who refuses to repent until you’re at death’s door. We have plenty of ways to make you talk!" Huangfu Yu’s master said coldly.

At this point, the experts from the other Sub-Palaces began to chime in.

"Hand over the legacy. With your Cultivation and experience, you are not worthy of monopolizing such a great opportunity."

"That’s right! The ’legacy of an Ancient Great Power’ is the product of an entire era. It doesn’t belong to you—it belongs to the collective! As a member of the Hall of Envoys, you have a duty to contribute it for the benefit of all!"

"Hand it over. Let’s not ruin the harmony between us."

Mo Qi was speechless. ’First of all, I never got any legacy of an Ancient Great Power. But even if I did, what the hell does it have to do with you?’

’Why on earth should I hand it over?’

’So what if my Cultivation is low and I can’t unleash the legacy’s full power? That’s my business! What does it have to do with you?!’

’Even if I were to toss the legacy aside, let it get moldy and covered in cobwebs, that’s my choice! It’s none of your business, and you have no right to meddle!’

’You’re all just green with envy, yet you insist on making up all these high-sounding, sanctimonious excuses. Isn’t it pathetic?’

Just then, Qian Duoduo, who was standing to the side, couldn’t help but speak up. "The Huangfu Family, is it? I think your family’s Asura Bloodline legacy is also the product of an era. Why don’t you share its secrets for the benefit of the entire Hall of Envoys?"

"Nonsense!" Huangfu Yu’s master shouted harshly. "The Asura Bloodline has been passed down through my Huangfu Family for generations. We would never make it public!"

Qian Duoduo smiled. "Oh? Does passing it down for generations change the fact that you’re a member of the Hall of Envoys? You sounded so righteous and noble when you were talking about my brother just now. How come you’re unwilling to contribute your own secrets for the benefit of others? On what grounds are you demanding my brother do so?"

Huangfu Yu’s master was at a loss for words. He could only snort coldly and turn his face away.

Qian Duoduo then turned to the others and said, "’Do not impose on others what you do not desire for yourself.’ If any of you are willing to first make your own secrets public, then you can come talk to my brother about ’contributing’!"

The entire area fell silent, but the quiet did not last long.

"Be sensible and hand over the legacy of the Ancient Great Power!"

"That is not something a mere Vajra Realm cultivator like you can monopolize!"

"That’s right! Be careful not to be too greedy, or you might just choke on it!"

Threatening words came one after another, all from the Immortal experts of the various Sub-Palaces.
