I Started As the Qin Family Patriarch and Was Bound to the Selection System

To be passed downHearing this, Star Ancestor and Old Ancestor Zixiao looked expectant; they were also tempted by the Legacy of the Xuanwu Great Emperor.

The Xuanwu Great Emperor smiled slightly and said heartily, ”Obtaining my Legacy is simple: you must defeat me within the same Realm.”

As he spoke, the Xuanwu Great Emperor’s eyes burned with fervor, and a surge of Battle Intent radiated from him.

Hearing this, the expressions of Star Ancestor and Old Ancestor Zixiao turned to disappointment, and their excitement cooled.

To defeat the Xuanwu Great Emperor at the same Realm was simply too difficult for them.

Qin Yi felt a surge of joy; this was not difficult for him at all. He said in a deep voice, ”Senior, I shall fight you.”

The Xuanwu Great Emperor laughed loudly, his voice filled with excitement. ”Good! This phantom has been here for so many years; today, I can finally have a proper battle.”

With that, the Xuanwu Great Emperor suppressed his power to the Martial Saint Eighth Level. His white robes fluttered without wind as he formed hand seals.

A Great Xuanwu Seal condensed, ancient and majestic, possessing an Aura that seemed capable of splitting the heavens.

The Xuanwu Great Emperor said proudly, ”Qin Yi, experience my signature Martial Skill, the Xuanwu Sky-Opening Seal.”

With a command, the Xuanwu Sky-Opening Seal lunged toward Qin Yi.

The surrounding space seemed to warp under the pressure of the Great Xuanwu Seal, as if a mountain were crashing down.

Star Ancestor’s gaze grew solemn as he said in shock, ”As expected of the Xuanwu Great Emperor. Even at the Martial Saint Eighth Level Realm, the power of his Xuanwu Sky-Opening Seal is close to the Emperor Realm.”

Old Ancestor Zixiao was also deeply shaken, thinking to himself, ”If this Great Xuanwu Seal hit me, I would be severely injured even if I didn’t die.”

Spiritual Qi surged from Qin Yi’s body, radiating an ancient and vast Aura.

”Three Fingers Imprisoning Heaven and Earth!” Qin Yi shouted.

Three giant fingers condensed, containing immense energy, and struck out rapidly.

Boom! An explosion rang out!

The two different energies collided, producing a deafening roar that left the space trembling and on the verge of collapse.

The aftershocks of the Spiritual Qi spread out.

Star Ancestor and Old Ancestor Zixiao hastily circulated their Spiritual Qi for defense.

”The strength of Qin Yi and the Xuanwu Great Emperor is terrifying; even the aftershocks of their Spiritual Qi are this powerful.”

As the smoke cleared, the Xuanwu Great Emperor’s Aura was weak, and the light from his phantom had dimmed. He coughed and said, ”Qin Yi, you win.”

”At the final moment, I had to use the energy of the Martial Emperor Realm to withstand your move.”

Qin Yi cupped his hands and said, ”Senior, thank you for the match.”

The Xuanwu Great Emperor smiled with satisfaction and praised, ”Good. Your cultivation talent surpasses mine. My Legacy will surely flourish in your hands.”

Then, a glowing ball of energy and a spatial ring flew out from the Xuanwu Great Emperor’s body.

Instantly, the Xuanwu Great Emperor’s phantom grew dim, as if it might dissipate at any moment.

”Qin Yi, that energy ball is my Legacy, containing the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills I practiced.”

”And this spatial ring contains resources that can help you Breakthrough to the Martial Emperor Realm.”

Qin Yi took the energy ball and the spatial ring, his face lighting up with joy as he cupped his hands. ”Thank you, Senior.”

Subsequently, Qin Yi absorbed the energy ball. The Xuanwu Great Emperor’s Emperor-grade Cultivation Method, the Xuanwu Sutra, along with several Martial Skill legacies, appeared in his mind.

Among them were three Emperor-grade Martial Skills: the Xuanwu Mountain-Splitting Seal, the Xuanwu Golden Body, and the Star Divine Fist.

There were also some Heaven Rank Martial Skills, but these were of little use to Qin Yi now.

Feeling that his phantom was about to dissipate...

The Xuanwu Great Emperor spoke, ”Now that my Legacy has been obtained, this phantom’s mission is complete. We shall meet again in the Upper Realm.”

”By the way, Qin Yi, let me warn you: the depths of the Blood Star Sea in the Central State are extremely dangerous.”

”When I killed the Skeleton Devil Emperor back then, I sensed a terrifying Aura within.”

”Until you have sufficient strength, you must never go into the depths of the Blood Star Sea.”

After saying this, the Xuanwu Great Emperor’s phantom dissipated.

Hearing the Xuanwu Great Emperor’s words, Qin Yi began to ponder. An existence that even the Xuanwu Great Emperor feared...

The Aura in the depths of the Blood Star Sea was likely not simple. He would explore it once he had enough strength.

Rumble!

As the Xuanwu Great Emperor’s phantom dissipated...

The skeleton emperor coffin went out of control and began to vibrate.

Everyone began to discuss fervently:

”What’s happening? Why is this space shaking? I feel like I’ve lost control of my body.”

”I feel it too. A powerful repulsive force is trying to expel me from here.”

Boom!

Qin Yi felt the space shift. Immediately after, he was enveloped by a powerful force, and a blinding light radiated out.

When Qin Yi opened his eyes again, he was back on the small island in the Endless Sea.

People from various factions were also teleported out. Some Cultivators, seeing no one from the Qing Clan, asked in confusion:

”How strange. Why haven’t the people from the Qing Clan come out?”

Inside the skeleton emperor coffin, some Cultivators had been busy hunting skeleton monsters in the rooms and were unaware that Qin Yi had killed the members of the Qing Clan.

A Cultivator who knew the situation spoke up, ”The members of the Qing Clan and Bai Zihua were all killed by Qin Yi.”

At these words, several Cultivators gasped, their faces full of disbelief.

”What? The Qing Clan Old Ancestor of the Martial Saint Ninth Level Realm was killed?”

”Hiss, Qin Yi’s strength is simply too terrifying.”

Some Cultivators looked at Qin Yi, their eyes filled with fear and awe.

Just then...

The Water Dragon Turtle slowly opened its eyes and looked at Qin Yi. Its honest voice rang out: ”Is it you who obtained the Legacy of the Xuanwu Great Emperor?”

Qin Yi’s gaze was wary. ”That’s right, it’s me. What do you want?”

The Water Dragon Turtle explained, ”I have no ill intent. I am a follower of the Xuanwu Great Emperor, and my mission was to guard his Legacy.”

”Now that you have obtained the Legacy, I shall follow you.”

Qin Yi nodded and said in a deep voice, ”Very well. From now on, you will follow me.”

Qin Yi sensed with his mind that the Water Dragon Turtle’s cultivation was at the Martial Emperor Realm. Taking it under his command would be helpful.

The Water Dragon Turtle’s honest voice rang out:

”Qin Yi, this emperor coffin atop my shell is currently masterless. Inject your Soul Power to take control of it.”

Instantly, Qin Yi flew to the front of the skeleton emperor coffin and injected his Soul Power into it. Before long, a connection to the skeleton emperor coffin formed in his mind.

Qin Yi learned how to use the emperor coffin and sighed.

”As expected of a Devil Emperor’s Emperor Weapon; its method of use is indeed cruel.”

The skeleton emperor coffin first takes Cultivators inside, then activates to use the Death Qi within to refine them alive, making them one of the skeleton monsters.

However, Qin Yi didn’t care about cruelty; if it needed to be used, he would use it.

If it were an enemy, he would simply use the skeleton emperor coffin to refine them into a skeleton monster.

Then he would have a group of skeleton monster thugs at the Martial Venerable or even Martial Saint Realm.

However, Qin Yi wasn’t insane; he wouldn’t refine just any Cultivator, only his enemies.
