"Wait...wait a minute, senior."
Ji Jiuying quickly spoke up to stop her. She had just secretly checked the Heavenly Punishment Register. If the person who inherited the legacy had failed to ascend to godhood, then her receiving the legacy would have a great impact on her own ascension. She had to find out the truth.
"What's wrong, girl?" Qi Yun looked at Ji Jiuying with some confusion.
"Senior, I would like to ask what level of cultivation you reached in your previous life?"
"Celestial Venerable Realm".
"Did you perish after failing to break through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm?"
Qi Yun shook his head: "No."
"I'm afraid you'll laugh at me if I tell you, but it's been so long, it's okay if you hear it."
Ji Jiuying raised an eyebrow; it seemed there was some big gossip going on.
"I fell because of love."
A hint of surprise flashed in Ji Jiuying's eyes as she listened quietly.
"Ten thousand years ago, my husband and I were deeply in love. One day, we both reached the Celestial Venerable Realm and had the idea of ascending to the God Realm. Only by becoming gods could we spend a long time together. Unfortunately, during the ascension, an accident happened. My husband's spiritual power was depleted for some reason during the ascension. We had made full preparations before the ascension, so in theory, such an accident should not have happened. But at that time, I did not have time to think too much, because in that situation, the slightest carelessness would have resulted in the destruction of both body and soul."
Qi Yun sighed softly and said, "At that time, there was no way out. In order to help him ascend smoothly, I transferred spiritual energy to him. Although I knew that I might fail to ascend, he succeeded in the end, while I was left here forever. I was not completely destroyed, but I was half dead. So I exhausted my cultivation and left myself in this world that he and I created together."
"Girl, do you think I'm stupid?"
Ji Jiuying lowered her eyes. Whether someone is foolish or not depends on whether the other person is worth it. If she and A Yue were in the same situation, she would have done the same thing.
"Senior, have you ever regretted it?"
Qi Yun shook his head: "If I had to do it all over again, I would still do the same thing."
"This is the answer."
Ji Jiuying said, and Qi Yun was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"Little girl, are you ready to receive my inheritance now?"
“Okay.” Ji Jiuying nodded. Her situation was one of voluntarily giving up ascension, not a natural failure to ascend, so there shouldn’t be any major problems.
As soon as she finished speaking, a golden light enveloped Ji Jiuying from the stone coffin. At the same time, the intrusion of a massive power caused Ji Jiuying to instinctively resist.
"Girl, you must endure the pain. It will greatly help your cultivation."
Sensing Ji Jiuying's resistance, Qi Yun spoke up.
Ji Jiuying quickly sat cross-legged, closed her eyes tightly, her body trembled slightly, and endured the excruciating pain as she slowly digested the inherited power.
Qi Yun practices the way of the sword, and her lineage is all related to the sword.
A day and a night passed, and Ji Jiuying's face turned deathly pale. Her forehead was covered in a dense layer of cold sweat, and her body felt as if it had been pierced by thousands of swords. The pain was rushing through her nerve endings, as if it would tear every inch of her skin to pieces.
Three days and three nights passed, and Qi Yun had long since stopped, while Ji Jiuying was still enduring intense pain. Her features gradually became dulled; she could no longer hear or smell anything, and even her consciousness began to blur.
"Little girl, hang in there..."
"Master, Master."
"You brat, don't faint."
"Little girl, you must hang in there!"
"·····"
With a constant stream of sounds in her ears, Ji Jiuying became more alert. Yes, she couldn't faint; if she did, all her efforts would be wasted. Enduring the intense pain, she slowly circulated her spiritual energy, gradually receiving the inheritance.
Suddenly, countless sword shadows surrounded her, and a phantom of a sword light appeared above her head.
Qi Yun breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and Yan Ye and the people in the space finally felt relieved.
After an unknown amount of time, Ji Jiuying felt the pain in her body gradually subside, and a warm current flowed through her entire body. Her newly broken through to the Great Ascension stage began to loosen, and even the Divine Control Technique, which had remained unshaken for a long time, began to show signs of loosening.
Bang bang bang!
Ji Jiuying's cultivation level directly jumped from the Mahayana stage to the peak of the Tribulation stage. Breaking through the Tribulation stage would lead to the Immortal Realm, which is the first step to becoming a god. However, the fact that she advanced so many levels in such a short time shocked everyone present. Even Qi Yun was shocked and widened his eyes. This girl's cultivation speed was so fast.
Dongfang Yao narrowed his eyes in the space. At this rate, this girl might become a god in less than three years. Thinking of the ten years he had made a deal with her, he suddenly felt like he had been tricked. However, it would also be beneficial for him if she could become a god a day earlier.
However, what happened next shocked them so much that they couldn't even breathe!
The spiritual energy in the tomb surged rapidly toward Ji Jiuying. Her body was like a bottomless pit, as if it wanted to absorb all the spiritual energy in the world. Just then, the sound of thunder echoed in the tomb. Qi Yun's eyes widened in shock. This was a tribulation of lightning. Could it be that this girl was about to break through to the Tribulation Transcending stage?
Qi Yun has lived in this world for thousands of years, but this is the first time he has seen such a magnificent person. His cultivation speed is as easy as eating.
Before the tribulation lightning struck, Yan Ye protected Ji Jiuying. Several bolts of lightning struck, and Ji Jiuying's cultivation instantly broke through the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage, reaching the Immortal Realm.
Ji Jiuying did not stop there, but continued to cultivate the Divine Control Technique. Before she broke through, the Divine Control Technique had already shown signs of loosening. Now that she had reached the Immortal Realm, breaking through to the sixth level of the Divine Control Technique would be a piece of cake.
With a soft sound, the sixth level of the Divine Control Technique was activated.
[Clone Technique.]
Ji Jiuying was somewhat surprised that the sixth level was actually the clone technique. The real clone technique could provide assistance to her in battle, and the main body could control her thoughts while also using her to mediate interpersonal relationships.
After a long while, Ji Jiuying's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes, a satisfied smile on her lips.
"Little girl, you really are a surprise. Now that you've accepted the inheritance, this divine sword should belong to you too."
After saying that, the Ice Crimson Twin Phoenix Sword flew from the stone coffin toward Ji Jiuying and stopped in front of her.
Ji Jiuying did not rush to take the divine sword because she noticed that Qi Yun seemed to have become much weaker, and his phantom was almost transparent.
"Senior, what's wrong?"
“My legacy has been passed on, and I have no regrets. Thank you, little girl,” Qi Yun said with a smile.
If it weren't for Senior Qi Yun, she wouldn't have such great fortune. Ji Jiuying's eyes flickered slightly. "Senior Qi Yun, your husband has become a god, and you haven't even been able to see him one last time before you have to disappear from this world. Are you really willing to accept this?"
