The Immortal Soul’s body twitched as he began to burn with anger. “You, little girl, have absolutely no manners. I’m the Golden Immortal Bitao after all! Although I’m now a remnant soul, I’m still an Immortal Soul, alright?” But a ghost is still a ghost… Fine, he’s an immortal ghost!

“Oh, I got it. Float over here for a moment!”

“Do you expect me to go over just because you told me to?” Bitao snorted. He stayed right where he was—he had feelings too.

“Master… he is…?” Yi Qing asked. Remnant souls were not normally this easy to see. Given that this hall was filled with multi-colored Immortal Qi, it was even more difficult to spot the remnant soul.

“Oh, he says he’s been waiting here for tens of thousands of years,” Shen Ying explained matter-of-factly. “He insists on handing his heritage down to me, but he’s not succeeding.”

“Heritage!” Lonemoon was shocked, not daring to believe what he was hearing. He glanced at the remnant soul before turning to face Shen Ying. “Don’t tell me he’s… he’s the master of this Immortal Pavilion?!” He calmed himself down and took another look at the remnant soul. Indeed, he saw that the remnant soul was surrounded with Immortal Qi. He was really an Immortal Soul!

“Hmph, you little girl. You do have quite good taste.” Bitao was satisfied. He flew over and looked Lonemoon up and down. “I am indeed the master of this Immortal Pavilion and the sect master of Dan Yang Sect. My Dao name is Bitao.”

“…” Holy shit, this is for real.

“You may be a Sword Cultivator, but there is a fire-element Spirit Root inside of you. That’s not bad! You’d make a good pill refiner.” Bitao seemed satisfied with Lonemoon. He combed his beard as he transformed back into his sagely demeanor. “Little boy, fate has brought us together-”

“Hey, Mr. Whatever, how do we crack that array on the wall?” Shen Ying interrupted him.

“You’re really infuriating, little girl!” This time, Bitao was done being interrupted. “Do you know anything about respecting your elders? Choosing the right person to hand down an entire heritage is such an important matter—much more important than any array formation.”

“We-”

“You have no Spirit Root in your body and you’re not willing to accept the heritage, so I’m not making things difficult for you. Now, someone else is willing to take over the heritage. Why are you still making trouble?”

“No, I-”

“I have waited 50,000 years for this and have hung in here as a remnant soul, all for the sake of handing down the pill refining techniques of the Dan Yang Sect. This man here is perfectly capable of taking over the heritage, so I’m handing it down to him.”

“Wait, you-”

“I know you all want to go after that cultivator, but you don’t have to rush. Once you take over the heritage, you’ll be able to ascend to immortality soon. You won’t have to fear him anymore.”

“But-”

“There are important things and unimportant things in this world. Since the Dan Yang Sect was formed, so many other prodigies in pill refining were produced. Yet, not one of them managed to avoid being wiped out. However, the Dan Yang Sect alone has managed to hang on to this day. Now, I have finally found someone to pass the heritage down to-”

Bam!

Bitao felt a blow to his face before he could finish—the Immortal Soul had received a huge punch. He was sent flying across the room just like a flying fish, still mumbling the remainder of his sentence, “and… and… and…”

He repeated that for a long while before he finally hit the wall.

“Shut up!”

Shen Ying narrowed her eyes and stomped up to the Immortal Soul. She swiftly grabbed the Immortal Soul and pulled him to his feet, asking, “Now can you open the door?”

“…” His once perfect face was now swollen where Shen Ying had punched him. His shimmering robe was now shining more brightly than before.

A while later…

“Yes, Great Immortal! Leave it to me, Great Immortal!”

Yi Qing: “…”

Lonemoon: “…”

Why wasn’t this result surprising at all to them?

Bitao began to half-crawl and half-roll. Obediently, he floated toward the wall and started to crack the array. This woman was so scary. He had thought that she was a mortal without any Spirit Roots. Little had he known that she could hit even a soul. She must be a great immortal of the Upper World who has descended into the mortal world!
