in their respective academic fields. Such people could not possibly fail to reach a diagnosis, clearly. If an ordinary person had this condition, there probably wouldn't just be a conclusion by now bu...Chapter 773: Legacy (2)

"Elders, where exactly is this place of legacy"

Xiao Yu, filled with curiosity, asked the Old Grandpa Song in the car. He was also very curious about the location of this place of legacy.

"Haha, Xiao Yu, you'll never guess where it is! Maybe you can take a stab at guessing" The two elders looked at Xiao Yu’s curious expression and burst into laughter before telling him with an impish grin.

It wasn't surprising that they were acting like this. Xiao Yu had always been very composed, and only now did he look like a young person.

Hearing the two elders' words, Xiao Yu lowered his head in deep thought. Actually, he had already started thinking about where the place of legacy was right from the start, but after pondering for quite some time, he still couldn't figure it out.

A while later, seeing that Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "I can't think of anything!"

"Haha, you'll know when we get there! It's not easy to see your expression like this!" Seeing Xiao Yu’s puzzled look, the two elders burst out laughing together but didn’t tell him where the place of legacy was.

These old men had never joked around with their juniors before; Xiao Yu was the first. This wasn't just because of his strength, but also because they were in a good mood now.

Xiao Yu found these two elders who acted like mischievous old children rather helpless and could only stop asking questions to satisfy their twisted sense of humor.

After an hour-long drive, the car arrived at the heart of Beijing.

The moment they turned onto this street, Xiao Yu saw a towering monument in the distance. Upon seeing it, he was moved and thought to himself, ‘Could the place of legacy be arranged here’ At this thought, Xiao Yu slowly closed his eyes.

As he closed his eyes, his yin soul floated out from the top of his head. Since Xiao Yu’s cultivation had broken through and he had practiced dual cultivation with Yun Xi, his yin soul was now as solid as anything, no longer ethereal or intangible. Even if Xiao Yu's physical body were destroyed, his yin soul would still be able to persist and even stand out in the world like an ordinary person.

However, although his yin soul had become substantial, its essence was still gas; it just appeared solid after condensation. With increasing cultivation levels, Xiao Yu's yin soul would gradually turn into a true solid entity, and he could cultivate to immortality without any issues. This was fortunate for Xiao Yu as the legacy he inherited was Zhong Kui’s righteous energy of purity, otherwise, his yin soul, being an embodiment of extreme Yin, would be unable to exist independently; if the physical body were destroyed, so too would the yin soul.

After all, to persist in this world for a long time, pure Yin alone was insufficient. One must also have Yang energy from the physical body as a foundation. Without Yang energy, there would be no foundation and thus, his yin soul would surely dissipate.

Xiao Yu differed from Zhong Kui; even without their physical bodies, they cultivated righteous energy of purity which was pure Yang energy. Therefore, lacking Yang energy from the body, their internal righteous energy of purity would still support them in this world.

Yet, how many people could actually cultivate a solid righteous energy of purity Throughout history and up to now, it had only been Xiao Yu and Zhong Kui.

Pure Yang energy from other sources could also produce the same effect but pure Yang energy would conflict with yin souls and was their bane. Ordinary yin souls that came into contact with such pure Yang energy would quickly dissipate. However, righteous energy of purity was different from other pure Yang energies; it was gentle and soft, being the sole kind of pure Yang energy that wouldn't affect yin souls.

This was why in his past life, Zhong Kui could become an immortal after discovering a method to cultivate righteous energy of purity due to him being a great scholar with traces of righteous energy of purity on him.

After Xiao Yu's yin soul left the body, it circled around the monument quickly but found nothing unusual. This puzzled him greatly.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu’s yin soul flashed and vanished mid-air, while his physical body slowly opened its eyes. He had felt someone pushing on his physical body earlier, so he promptly returned to it.

"Xiao Yu, there's no need to be nervous! Back then, the elder brother said that as long as we are descendants, receiving the legacy wouldn't cause any issues!" After Xiao Yu opened his eyes, Elder Grandpa Song was patting him on the shoulder and speaking.

"Yes, it’s fine, Elder." Hearing what Elder Grandpa Song said, Xiao Yu nodded and replied. It turned out that earlier, when both elders saw Xiao Yu bowing his head without saying a word, they thought he had become nervous; after all, Xiao Yu was still young despite his high cultivation level, so they decided to comfort him.

When their convoy reached the monument, it didn't stop but continued forward for another two hundred meters before turning into a heavily guarded courtyard.

"Let's go!" After Old Grandpa Song saw that everyone had gotten off the vehicle, he called out to Xiao Yu and the other grandfathers and walked into a building.

Once they entered this building, they found themselves in a dimly lit corridor. Soldiers were stationed every few steps, all armed and ready; no one was allowed entry without permission, not even a general who tried to enter without authorization would be spared.

The end of the corridor led to a thick iron door. When Xiao Yu and his companions arrived, Old Grandpa Song and Li Suijun stepped forward, placing their palms on a touchscreen slightly larger than a palm.

After they placed their hands on it for a short while, the iron door slowly opened from the other side.

The room behind the iron door was square-shaped with sides measuring two meters each. When Xiao Yu entered with the other grandfathers, he realized this was an elevator.

They rode the elevator downwards into the underground level. Although there was no light inside the elevator, it didn't affect Xiao Yu at all. He remained still and closed his eyes, gradually feeling the descent of the elevator as it traveled about two hundred meters before coming to a slow stop.

"What an incredibly secretive place!" When Xiao Yu sensed that they had reached the underground level two hundred meters down, he thought silently to himself.

The moment the elevator doors opened, several beams of light penetrated through.

Opposite them was a passage, resembling the round tunnel dug by the white snake under West Lake. The only difference was that this passage had been constructed with concrete and measured two meters in height and width, stretching out in front of them, its length unknown.

Old Grandpa Song and Li Suijun walked out of the elevator, following the faint light from within the corridor to proceed deeper into it.

At this point, none of these grandfathers spoke; they all approached with a sense of reverence. When they first saw this place, they were deeply impressed. It was hard for them to imagine how their leader had managed to dig a tunnel two hundred meters long and deep in just half a year by himself. This passage alone wasn't the legacy site, it was merely an access route.

Later on, installing the elevator and building this concrete passage took another six months; they knew well how much manpower and resources this entailed. But their leader He did it all by himself without any other tools at hand, which made them truly appreciate his capabilities.

The elders didn't speak and walked slowly down the passage.

About two hundred meters later, they reached the end of the passage. At its end was a small room of around ten square meters, which fit all these elders and Xiao Yu perfectly.

In front of the passage, there was a stone door that was one meter and fifty centimeters high. The door had various lines crisscrossing it, forming an arcane pattern.

"Xiao Yu, this is the place where the legacy lies. We've calculated that this legacy spot is directly below the monument. Furthermore, the monument was built by our leader and its design was personally completed by him as well. Therefore, we suspect there's a connection between this legacy spot and the monument. However, what exactly connects them remains unknown to us!"

After entering the small room, Old Master Song told Xiao Yu about it.

Hearing Old Master Song’s explanation, Xiao Yu nodded. On his way here, he had also calculated that this place was indeed underneath the monument. As for whether there was a connection—Xiao Yu wasn't sure either since his shadow hadn’t found anything unusual when it visited the monument.

"Do you know why no one has opened this legacy spot in all these years" Old Master Song asked Xiao Yu.

Hearing Old Master Song’s question, Xiao Yu glanced at the stone door. The arcane talisman on the door was something he hadn’t seen in Zhong Kui’s memories, so he didn't understand its secrets. As a result, after hearing Old Master Song's words, Xiao Yu shook his head.

"According to what our leader left behind, there are two conditions for opening this legacy spot: one is that it must be someone from our lineage and the other is that they must be a cultivator. Both conditions are necessary; otherwise, this place will remain sealed forever!" After seeing Xiao Yu shake his head, Old Master Song sighed and said.

They had tried to open this legacy spot before but no matter what methods they used, it couldn’t be opened. That’s how they came to believe in the two conditions their leader set forth.

"Xiao Yu, take some blood from your tattoo, then wipe it on the blood flame pattern on the door and input magic power into this blood flame pattern; once you do that, this legacy spot will open!" After Old Master Song finished explaining these two conditions, his expression turned serious as he pointed to an inconspicuous place on the side of the door where a blood flame pattern was engraved.

Xiao Yu had noticed this pattern when he first arrived, but he thought it was merely a symbol for the Blood Flame Unit and hadn't given it much thought since he didn’t sense anything unusual about it. some of the habits characteristic of a wealthy, spoiled youth.After lunch, due to Old Grandpa Zhuo’s advanced age, the army colonel who came to pick him up escorted him home.
