After the remnant soul of Scarlet Cloud Master appeared, everyone present was initially shocked. After all, Scarlet Cloud Master's appearance signified that someone was about to receive the legacy of an immortal!
However, they soon felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Finally, someone reacted first, their gaze shifting back and forth between the remnant soul of Scarlet Cloud Master and the man in the coffin, whose entire body was a dark green color!
"Why... do they look so alike?"
Moments later, everyone else realized it too.
No wonder it seemed familiar—it turns out that Scarlet Cloud Master looks exactly like the man in the coffin who had been extorting them!
The only difference was that Scarlet Cloud Master's remnant soul had the demeanor of an immortal, with his Daoist robes flowing in the wind and a kind smile on his face.
But the man in the coffin, with dark green skin, always wore a cold sneer, and his muscles would twitch from time to time, looking extremely terrifying!
Yet their appearances—if not entirely identical—were at least 98% similar!
Before anyone could ask Scarlet Cloud Master's remnant soul about this, they saw him suddenly stumble as he approached.
'What?!'
'How has my body come out!?'
'It's been refined into a corpse puppet of the Boundless Realm, damn it!'
'This is the end... completely ruined!'
Scarlet Cloud Master's remnant soul stared in despair at the body that once belonged to him.
Seeing that it had already reached the Boundless Realm, he knew that all the geniuses present today would inevitably fall here!
He had waited over five thousand years for a successor with talent at the saint grade who could break the first array, but now everything was about to be for nothing!
This remnant soul of his could only pass on techniques; it couldn't possibly fight against a Boundless Realm corpse puppet!
"Tsk, why panic so much at the sight of your own body?"
"It's truly embarrassing..."
The corpse puppet sneered maliciously, with a hint of mockery in its voice.
"Shut up."
Leng Yanran frowned and softly reprimanded the man in the coffin.
"Alright, Miss. I'll zip my mouth and not say another word!"
Under Scarlet Cloud Master's horrified gaze, the man in the coffin actually obediently closed his mouth and stood silently to the side without saying another word.
Scarlet Cloud Master was so shocked by this scene that he was at a loss for words.
"Wha... what is going on?"
Scarlet Cloud Master's hand trembled as he pointed at the corpse puppet and asked Leng Yanran.
"You don't need to know, sir."
"Now that the successor has appeared, you may proceed."
Leng Yanran casually replied to Scarlet Cloud Master's remnant soul and said no more. She glanced at Li Shenruo beside her and saw her filled with excitement.
Leng Yanran was secretly displeased. Just an immortal's legacy—was it really worth all this excitement?
However, if Li Shenruo chose the immortal's legacy today, it would actually be a good thing, as her master would not take her as a disciple.
Then, her master would still be hers alone.
"Ahem, well..."
"In my perception, it was you who broke through the first test."
"As for this second test, which evaluates talent, your saint-grade qualifications fully meet the criteria."
"I've decided to pass on the legacy to you. I hope you won't let down my lineage!"
Scarlet Cloud Master's gaze shifted back and forth between Leng Yanran and Li Shenruo for a moment as he pondered to himself.
In terms of talent, Leng Yanran was slightly better than Li Shenruo.
In terms of strength, Leng Yanran was far superior to Li Shenruo, even breaking through the first test array using sheer brute force.
Leng Yanran had even used some unknown method to subdue a Boundless Realm corpse puppet!
From any perspective, Scarlet Cloud Master believed that Leng Yanran would undoubtedly outshine Li Shenruo.
Thus, instead of choosing to pass the legacy to Li Shenruo, who had initially summoned him, he intended to give it to Leng Yanran!
"But... senior, it was I who caused your appearance!"
Upon hearing Scarlet Cloud Master's words, Li Shenruo's face froze with shock. She had come to this secret realm specifically for the immortal's legacy and the Immortal-grade techniques.
Now, just when success seemed within reach, how could the immortal suddenly change his mind?
"Well... I didn't expect two people to appear who meet the requirements for the legacy," Scarlet Cloud Master admitted.
"However, in comparison, the person beside you is far more suitable to receive my legacy."
"So, I apologize."
"However, don't be too disappointed; I will give you some heavenly-grade Artifacts as compensation!"
Scarlet Cloud Master felt a bit awkward, especially with so many talented individuals watching, but he was left with just this remnant soul, and all he cared about was finding the best disciple. Why should he be concerned about appearances?
Everyone turned their attention to Leng Yanran, waiting for her response.
Some were even so anxious that they wished they could answer for her!
After all, this was an immortal's legacy! Though Scarlet Cloud Master hadn't succeeded in becoming a true immortal and ascending, his techniques were genuine immortal-grade and could lead someone to ascending to the Immortal Realm.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in your legacy," Leng Yanran replied casually as she noticed Scarlet Cloud Master's remnant soul fixating on her.
"Well, then, I'll begin imparting you with the sect's techniques, and I hope you won't—huh?"
"What did you just say?"
Scarlet Cloud Master had begun to nod and prepare to transfer his immortal-grade techniques, but then he froze.
Did he hear that right?
This woman just said... she wasn't interested in his immortal techniques!?
Scarlet Cloud Master was left stunned, as were all the onlookers. She rejected an immortal-grade technique?
Li Shenruo was especially dumbfounded, staring at Leng Yanran in disbelief.
She couldn't understand why someone would make such a choice.
Could it be that her master also practiced an immortal-grade technique?
"You may not understand, young lady. Although I only reached the peak of the Spirit Dividing Stage and met my demise, the techniques I cultivated were of the immortal grade," Scarlet Cloud Master explained, thinking she didn't understand the value.
"If not for being schemed against, I would have had a chance to undergo tribulation and ascend to the Immortal Realm! If you accept my technique, you could certainly surpass me and perhaps become a true immortal."
Scarlet Cloud Master hurried to explain, believing that Leng Yanran was unaware of the technique's rarity.
"I already told you, I'm not interested," Leng Yanran replied, growing a bit irritated by his persistence. She waved him off and pointed to the dazed Li Shenruo beside her. "Why don't you ask her if she wants it?"
"This..."
"Alright, since that's the case, I won't force you."
Scarlet Cloud Master felt a headache coming on, but after glancing at the Boundless Realm corpse puppet under Leng Yanran's control, he didn't dare press the issue.
He composed himself and turned to Li Shenruo.
"Do you wish to accept my legacy?"
