Chapter 85: The Broad Scope of Inheritance
“Exactly!” You You spoke candidly, laying out her plan. “Our sect has many talented Disciples skilled in Alchemy, Talismans, Formations, Weaponry, Spells, and Monsters—but we lack proper teaching materials. We came here to solve this problem. Sir, after living so long, you must know something about these fields, right? Since you’re seeking heirs, why not let us learn and spread your legacy—whether it’s your weaponry methods, sword cultivation, or other paths?”
“Absurd!” Qiu Zhang snapped, his residual soul trembling with outrage. “You dare suggest scattering my legacy carelessly? Never! My life’s work isn’t for random fools!”
You You sighed. This mindset was exactly why their methods were flawed.
“Sir, let’s discuss this calmly,” she said, turning to the fuming old man. “How long have you waited in these ruins?”
Qiu Zhang huffed. “Ten thousand years at least. Time means nothing here.”
“How many heirs have you found in all that time?”
His expression darkened. “You… are the first to reach my residual soul.”
“How long did you cultivate during your life?”
“Less than three thousand years to reach God Transformation!” he declared proudly.
“Let’s analyze this.” You You held up a finger. “You spent three thousand years perfecting your techniques, then waited ten millennia for two visitors. If we hadn’t come, what were the odds of your legacy surviving? How could you even verify a successor’s suitability?”
“I… I designed rigorous Tests—”
“Suppose someone passes your Tests. Would they share your caution in choosing Disciples? Would they leave residual souls for future heirs?”
Qiu Zhang fell silent.
“Let’s assume each heir finds perfect successors,” she pressed. “Your legacy would still face ten-thousand-year gaps between generations. During those periods, your techniques stagnate while others improve theirs. You were a genius in your era, but what happens when outsiders develop better methods? What if someone ascends using simpler techniques sold for fifty cents a manual?”
“But I achieved God Transformation!”
“Which isn’t the ultimate goal!” she countered. “If easier paths lead to ascension, who’ll care about your legacy? Your life’s work could become obsolete.”
Qiu Zhang’s form flickered with distress.
“Progress never stops,” You You continued. “Why hoard knowledge until death? Sharing it while alive lets everyone improve it together.”
“But… traditions demand strict inheritance!”
“Tradition doesn’t mean correctness!” She shook her head. “Lower your standards. Let ordinary Disciples spread your techniques widely. Eventually, talented cultivators will refine them, making your legacy greater than you imagined. Wouldn’t that immortalize your name?”
“But how would anyone remember me?”
“Simple.” You You smiled. “What’s your proudest technique?”
“The Heart Seeking Technique.”
“Rename it the Qiu Zhang Technique. Attach your name permanently. Future improvements will still bear your legacy. Students worldwide will curse memorizing your long name during exams—but they’ll never forget it.”
Qiu Zhang’s soul brightened. “Yes! Yes! Spread it everywhere! Fifty cents per copy!”
You You: “……”
Feng Rong: “……”
