Chapter 1620: I Choose Lin Qianxue! The Twin Stars Scripture!

As the white-haired elder finished speaking.

Below, the human cultivators erupted in uproar.

Immediately, many nearly leapt out of their skins!

"Pick me! Pick me! Xu Ge, look at me!"

"Only females? Can I still change my gender in time?!"

"Xu Ge! Pick me! I can warm your bed! I can cook too!"

"Get lost! That's not cooking—that's poisoning! Xu Ge, pick me! I have high comprehension—I won't disgrace the legacy!"

"......"

The entire plain instantly exploded into chaos; everyone went mad!

Especially the female cultivators.

Each pair of eyes gleamed, their gazes fixed on Xu Jingming as if pulling threads from their pupils.

The Master's legacy!

That was the legacy left behind by the Starfall Master, who had roamed the Cosmic Seas!

To obtain it meant stepping onto a path leading straight to heaven!

Whether one could become a Master in the future was uncertain, but reaching the peak of immortality was within reach!

Such an opportunity was enough to drive anyone to madness!

"Xu Jingming......"

Yin Hongyu's alluring peach-blossom eyes locked onto Xu Jingming.

Her crimson lips bit lightly, her chest heaving violently with excitement.

She was confident that among all the women present, her beauty, figure, and talent were top-tier.

If Xu Jingming had to choose a partner to jointly receive the legacy, she was unquestionably the most suitable!

"Must pick me......"

Yin Hongyu silently murmured, her beautiful eyes brimming with anticipation.

Brodi and the other male cultivators wore expressions of bitter resignation.

The rules restricted selection to females only—they had no right to compete.

Otherwise,

the legacy of a Supreme Master.

They wouldn't have minded sacrificing a little of themselves for it.

"Huh? It can be done this way?"

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up—this was an unexpected blessing.

He hesitated not at all.

He raised his right hand and pointed directly at the exquisitely beautiful figure enveloped in the crimson light pillar:

"The other legacy—I designate it to her, my senior sister, Lin Qianxue."

His voice was steady and powerful.

Senior sister had helped him so much.

He finally had a chance to repay her.

"Of course—it's Lin Qianxue!"

"Tsk tsk, when Xu Ge first arrived at the Divine Palace, I already saw their relationship wasn't ordinary."

"More than not ordinary? Didn't you see Xu Ge carrying Lin Qianxue here? The intimacy—tsk tsk......"

"How envious! If it were me, I'd offer myself entirely!"

"Dream on—you think the Immortal Lin would even look at you?"

"......"

Many human cultivators felt intense envy, yet felt no real surprise.

They had already witnessed Xu Jingming descending from the sky with Lin Qianxue on his back.

Their relationship was no longer a secret.

"Not me!"

Yin Hongyu clenched her pearl-white teeth against her crimson lips.

Her alluring face was etched with resentment and disappointment.

Luck!

She had lost only because of luck!

If it had been her, Yin Hongyu, who encountered Xu Jingming inside the Starfall Secret Realm,

not Lin Qianxue, she had a hundred percent certainty she could have won this prodigy of a man!

How infuriating—she had roamed alone since entering the secret realm.

Only at the very end did she rejoin the main human force.

She had missed the best opportunity.

"What?!"

Within the crimson light pillar,

Lin Qianxue's pale, delicate face lifted slightly, her pale golden eyes still clouded with bewilderment.

She had not yet fully recovered from the shock of Xu Jingming receiving the legacy when she heard her own name.

Was a share of the Starfall Master's legacy truly hers?

Is this really too easy?

It's like a dream!

"As you wish."

The ancient star spirit's phantom nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on his aged face.

Shhh—

The towering silver-gray gate of the Starfall Divine Palace suddenly swung open!

Two brilliant beams of light shot forth from within, precisely engulfing Xu Jingming and Lin Qianxue.

The next instant,

Their figures flashed once, pulled by invisible force, becoming streaks of light that vanished into the Divine Palace!

"Tsk tsk, a Supreme Sovereign inheritance!"

"Pity, it's not ours."

"Think of it this way—at least it's ours, the human race's."

"Haha, true."

"......"

Amidst waves of envy, the Starfall Divine Palace's gate slowly closed.

Light and shadows swirled before them, space shifting.

When Xu Jingming regained his senses, he found himself inside a vast, majestic palace.

The palace soared impossibly high, its ceiling resembling a real starry sky.

Countless stars rotated slowly, pouring down gentle starlight.

The surrounding walls were built from some silver-gray crystalline stone, their surfaces rippling with wave-like arcane patterns.

At the center of the hall stood two statues, each a hundred meters tall.

One male, one female; the man was heroic and upright.

The woman was exquisitely gentle and beautiful; they stood hand in hand, gazing toward the distant starry heavens.

The statues were lifelike, as if they might awaken at any moment, radiating a terrifying majesty.

Even as mere statues, they inspired involuntary awe.

"Is this the Starfall Sovereign and his companion?"

Xu Jingming regarded them curiously.

The Starfall Sovereign was a Supreme Sovereign—then what of his companion?

"Is this the interior of the Starfall Divine Palace?"

Beside him, Lin Qianxue's cold, clear voice spoke.

She was still dazed, a hint of bewilderment on her exquisite face.

After taking a deep breath, she calmed herself and turned to look at Xu Jingming.

Her pale golden eyes were filled with seriousness:

"Younger brother, thank you."

Xu Jingming smiled, his expression relaxed:

"Sister, why be so formal?

When I first arrived at the Outer Battlefield, a complete stranger who knew nothing,

You guided me through the battlefield, taught me the rules.

Now, doing this for you is only right."

He spoke the truth.

Had Lin Qianxue not guided him back then, placing him in the Wildfire Squad,

Simply learning to navigate the Outer Battlefield would have taken much time.

But Lin Qianxue shook her head:

"My little help means nothing compared to this inheritance."

After a pause, she whispered:

"When we leave this realm,

If you ever need anything from me, say it outright—I won't refuse."

No sooner had she spoken than she froze.

Need something?

In strength, Xu Jingming could now sweep aside all alien Universe-class powerhouses.

His combat power hovered around Eternal Stage Five.

Hers simply couldn't compare.

In wealth, after this realm ended,

The military merit rewards promised by the Nine Sword Sovereign alone would make Xu Jingming immensely rich.

It seemed... there truly was nothing she could help him with.

Realizing this,

Lin Qianxue fell silent, a complex emotion rising in her heart.

She was still his senior, had cultivated for over twenty thousand years.

Yet she could no longer assist even a younger brother who had entered the sect less than a decade ago?

This gap... was too crushing...

"Both of you."

At that moment, a gentle voice sounded.

The spectral image of the Star Spirit Elder slowly coalesced in the center of the hall.

He smiled, his gaze sweeping over Xu Jingming and Lin Qianxue.

He nodded in satisfaction:

"Having passed the inheritance trial,

you shall now receive the Master's legacy."

Saying this, he waved his hand.

Two ancient-looking rings, their surfaces shimmering with starlight, materialized out of thin air.

They flew toward Xu Jingming and Lin Qianxue respectively.

"These are the cultivation resources prepared for you by my Master."

The Star Spirit said slowly:

"Inside the rings are rare treasures to enhance your cultivation, refine your divine body, and nourish your soul.

According to my Master's estimation,

these resources are sufficient to allow you to break from Eternal Life Stage One to Eternal Life Peak within ten thousand years."

"Ten thousand years? To Eternal Life Peak?!"

Lin Qianxue's beautiful eyes widened abruptly.

Even she, usually cold and composed, felt her breath quicken involuntarily!

There was no help for it—this was too tempting!

You should know that,

She had already spent over twenty thousand years to advance from her first steps in cultivation to her current Cosmic Peak!

And to progress from Eternal Life Stage One to Eternal Life Peak,

under normal circumstances, one would need at least several hundred thousand years—or even longer!

Under normal circumstances, it would take at least hundreds of thousands of years, or even longer!

Even her senior sister Ye Li had taken nearly one hundred thousand years to advance from the Cosmic Stage to Eternal Life Peak!

Compared to Lin Qianxue's excitement,

Xu Jingming, though also pleasantly surprised, remained far more composed.

Ten thousand years to reach Eternal Life Peak?

To him, that speed was far too slow.

With the Deep Blue System, as long as he had sufficient Source Points,

his breakthrough speed could not be measured by ordinary standards.

Still, if resources were available, he was naturally pleased.

Even if he didn't need them himself, he could exchange them for military merits,

or save them for Ye Lan and the others.

"Thank you, Elder."

Xu Jingming and Lin Qianxue bowed respectfully.

"Don't thank me just yet."

The Star Spirit Elder smiled faintly and waved his right hand again:

"These are merely cultivation resources.

The most important part of this inheritance is the —《Double Star Scripture》— created by my Master with boundless effort!"

The most important part of this inheritance is the "Dual Star Scripture," created by my master at the cost of endless effort!

two brilliant streams of gold and silver light burst from his palm.

They plunged into Xu Jingming's and Lin Qianxue's foreheads respectively!

They sank into Xu Jingming and Lin Qianxue's foreheads respectively!

In an instant,

a torrent of information flooded into their minds!

Xu Jingming felt his consciousness tremble.

A vast, profound, and infinitely mysterious scripture slowly unfolded before him...

PS: One chapter short, no time left—will make up this chapter to four thousand characters tomorrow...

PS: Still one chapter short, no time left, I'll pad this chapter to four thousand characters tomorrow......
