Just Wanting to Live a Good Life but Surpassing the Protagonist – 50 Ancient Heritage

Wanting to divert attention and not let the awkwardness continue, Ye Yong started chatting, “Why did you guys want to come to this secret realm? According to the logic of normal secret realms, it should be nearing the end of its opening time. Most of the good stuff should have already been taken by the people who came in earlier.”

“This…” Qin Shimeng didn’t really want to say it. If everything had turned out fine, it would have been okay. Now that they were trapped here and had encountered so many dangers, she felt that it was all her fault. She didn’t want to say that she was looking for the Quenching Spirit Flower for Ye Yong, making him feel burdened and responsible.

Liang Xiaorou, on the other hand, believed that everything was her fault. If it weren’t for her hidden Immortal Physique, they wouldn’t have attracted so many monsters. Therefore, in Liang Xiaorou’s eyes, Qin Shimeng was not at fault , so she answered for her, “She came to find the Quenching Spirit Flower for a friend who hasn’t condensed yet.”

“That friend wouldn’t happen to be me, would it?” Ye Yong smiled wryly.

“No, it’s not you. It’s, it’s someone else, a friend I just met.” Qin Shimeng lied, which was rare for her. She also glanced at Liang Xiaorou and shook her head slightly, signaling that she not to say too much.

How could Ye Yong not understand Qin Shimeng? Although it was a bit mean to say this, she couldn’t possibly have made any friends.

So, other than giving her the cultivation method that allowed her to reach the Crystallization Realm early, was the butterfly effect that led her to come here and search for the Quenching Spirit Flower also related to his cultivation?

Ye Yong suddenly recalled that a month ago, Qin Shimeng had asked him about his cultivation. Because he had taken a lot of pills while in seclusion, he had unintentionally revealed a bitter expression when he mentioned his cultivation. She must have misunderstood and thought that he was stuck at a bottleneck.

Sighing, Ye Yong once again felt ashamed for having had the thought of escaping for a brief moment. If he had really left and then found out about all this later, Ye Yong felt that his mentality would have exploded just thinking about it. It was fortunately that he had followed his heart and not caused any tragedy. Otherwise, he would never have been able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.

Ye Yong gently stroked Qin Shimeng’s long hair and then looked at Liang Xiaorou. “There’s something I want to tell you guys. My cultivation is actually different from yours.”

“How is it different?” Liang Xiaorou was intrigued.

Qin Shimeng also listened attentively.

“Before breaking through to the Crystallization Realm, what level were your cultivations?”

“Isn’t that obvious? It couldn’t be the eleventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, could it? It must be the tenth…” Liang Xiaorou suddenly stopped. She remembered that when the Saint-level Treasure Mirror announced Ye Yong’s cultivation during the sect assessment, it had hesitated for a moment.

That was a Saint-level magic treasure. Its Artifact Spirit alone was enough to be considered a senior. The Artifact Spirit was over five thousand years old and had seen countless cultivators. It had seen more seven-colored Foundation Establishment Realms than others, so there was no reason for it to hesitate because of Ye Yong’s seven-colored Foundation Establishment Realm. Therefore, it was very likely that it had hesitated because of something else.

“What level are you at now?” Liang Xiaorou asked directly, getting to the point.

“The nineteenth level.”

“Nineteenth level?” Even though they had some guesses, when they heard the answer, both she and Qin Shimeng were shocked. It wasn’t the eleventh or twelfth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but the nineteenth level. This was too outrageous .

“That’s right, so it’s not that I didn’t want to crystallize, but that I couldn’t. When I was in the Qi Condensation Realm, I had already reached the twentieth level before breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

“But why? This doesn’t make sense. Not to mention recent times, even a hundred thousand years ago, when there were countless experts, there are no records of anyone exceeding the tenth level.”

“It should be related to the Divine Physique I cultivated.”

“Divine, Divine Physique…” Liang Xiaorou and Qin Shimeng didn’t know what to say.

The Immortal Physique was already enough to drive the creatures around them crazy. What was the concept of a Divine Physique, a physique that was only mentioned in legends?

“I accidentally obtained an ancient heritage. Actually, Divine Physiques aren’t as rare as you think. There were also some experts with Divine Physiques a hundred thousand years ago. Not to mention, mine is an acquired Divine Physique, not an innate one . At that time, acquired Divine Physiques were nothing special, not as good as innate Immortal Physiques.” Ye Yong had no choice but to reveal the matter of his Divine Physique since he was being honest about his cultivation. He didn’t plan to hide it anyway. As long as he didn’t mention the system and instead said that it was an ancient heritage, he believed that Qin Shimeng and the others would be able to accept it.

The suspension bridge effect was mutual. From the moment they didn’t hesitate to sacrifice themselves to block the late Nascent Soul Realm attack for Ye Yong, Ye Yong no longer treated them as outsiders.

Anyway, if they had any problems, they would blame it on having received an ‘ancient inheritance’.

This was not the case, Liang Xiaorou and Qin Shimeng had truly received an ancient inheritance. After all, luck was something that could not be explained clearly. Some people would get a lucky chance and soar to the sky, and mortals could also become saints .

Qin Shimeng, in particular, was the one who could sense Ye Yong’s changes the most. Before and after, he was completely different.

“Can you tell me, are you some ancient senior?” Qin Shimeng looked back at him, hoping to get an answer.

“I’m not any senior, I’m just called Ye Yong. It’s just that I’m a little different from the one you knew before.” Ye Yong looked at Qin Shimeng, “Can you accept this?”

There was no sign of her favorability decreasing. Qin Shimeng looked into his eyes and said word by word, “Yes. But what I accept is the current you, not the previous you. I don’t care if you are truly Ye Yong or not. Anyway, it’s enough that you are the current you.”

It was a bit roundabout, but it showed Qin Shimeng’s attitude. She didn’t care if Ye Yong was an old monster from hundreds of thousands of years ago, nor did she care if he was the same ‘violent’ Ye Yong from before who had changed himself. She only cared about the Ye Yong in front of her at this moment.

“Why did you tell us this?” Liang Xiaorou was a little stunned, feeling like she had to accept a lot of information at once. But she didn’t care if Ye Yong had been possessed or not. After all, the Ye Yong she knew was the current Ye Yong. If she mentioned the ‘Ye Yong’ of the past, she wouldn’t know him, so she didn’t care.

“Because I trust you, and I don’t want you to worry about things for me.” After saying these words, Ye Yong felt much more comfortable. In the future, he could openly take out some rare resources to feed them, and let them grow and develop quickly.

“Humph, you’re not afraid that we’ll let it slip.” Being trusted by Ye Yong, Liang Xiaorou was naturally very happy, but she was tsundere, so she liked to say some contradictory things to cover up her own feelings .

Ye Yong just smiled, “I know you won’t.”

After a while of chatting, Qin Shimeng and Liang Xiaorou felt that they understood Ye Yong more, and their favorability also increased.

Qin Shimeng +10. Total 166, attitude towards Ye Yong: 【Willing to die with you】.

Liang Xiaorou +15. Total 119, attitude towards Ye Yong: 【I like him, what should I do】.

Although Ye Yong didn’t say that the purpose of these things was to increase favorability, it was a happy event on top of a happy event.

During the time when they were unconscious, Ye Yong thought about many things and finally made a decision. Although he was going to avenge them, if everything went smoothly, not only would he be able to avenge the one who injured them, he would also be able to escape from the secret realm.

Looking at the original 18W reversal points, it had now risen to 31W. Ye Yong was undoubtedly more confident in carrying out his plan.

Mid-stage Nascent Soul, huh? Just you wait.
