Tang Rao was intrigued right away.
Both had the ancient Qiongqi Spirit Root, both had the same surname Geng, there had to be a connection.
In the Land of Immortals, there's a significant correlation between attributes and names.
"So you must know something, spill it, spill it."
Tang Rao grinned at the Image Stone.
The Immortal Emperor-level Image Stone, combined with Geng Yu's Divine Sense, made it feel as if Geng Yu were still alive.
Tang Rao instantly found himself in the groove of conversing between masters.
Of course, saying that was like him flattering himself.
"Geng Bucuo is of my lineage, my descendant. However, the times are too long ago for me to figure out how many generations, his talent has long been inferior to others from the Qiongqi lineage."
Geng Yu spoke with a hint of regret.
Back then, the descendants of Qiongqi were glorious for a time; although not as formidable as the Taotie, they still reigned supreme across the Land of Immortals.
"I see, I was wondering why Geng Bucuo was so strong, even great at leveling up through battles, turns out it's your bloodline."
Tang Rao pulled a can of beer from his Space Ring, chatting with Geng Yu while drinking on his own.
For someone who's already dead, drinking alcohol just seemed unrealistic.
"I have another question, why did you guide me here instead of Geng Bucuo? He is, after all, your descendant."
Tang Rao was quite selfish, if he had to choose an inheritor, he'd prioritize his kin first, then his sect.
If he really couldn't find an inheritor, he'd rather destroy his cultivation.
What he couldn't take with him, he wouldn't leave for anyone else, even destroying it.
Unlike the noble Geng Yu.
A good thing left for ten thousand years, with someone specifically waiting, just for Tang Rao to arrive.
Such a selfless spirit is worthy of other Immortal Emperors' admiration.
That way Tang Rao could gain so many legacies.
The entire Land of Immortals wouldn't be a match for Tang Rao.
...
It's a beautiful thought, but incredibly difficult to put into practice.
Geng Yu sighed, "Your suggestion makes me want to consider it again, after all, what you say has merit."
In the Image Stone, Geng Yu propped his face on his hands, appearing thoughtful.
"That foul mouth of yours, bah, spouting nonsense."
Tang Rao slapped his mouth, questioning if his hands had applied pressure on their own, it hurt.
Tang Rao, oh Tang Rao, you really dare to say anything, "Senior, I just farted, pretend you didn't hear anything, I was rude just now, please forgive me."
Inheritances, treasures.
All those things you can't take with you when you die, just give them to me.
Don't put too much pressure on anyone else.
Those people go crazy at the sight of a million Immortal Stones, whereas I remain calm earning billions daily.
Only my good nature can withstand the grandeur of an Immortal Emperor.
Geng Yu forced a smile.
In all his years of martial wandering, it was his first time seeing a man with skin thicker than Tang Rao's.
"Heavenly Treasure, I can offer you, but for the inheritance, you know the rules."
Geng Yu grew more fond of Tang Rao.
Though he'd encountered those more talented than Tang Rao, Tang Rao was the only one among them that delighted Geng Yu in his demeanor over hundreds of thousands of years.
Tang Rao's shameless personality alone, Geng Yu found absolutely adorable.
"What rules, no one told me there were rules when I came."
Tang Rao looked puzzled.
I truly don't know of any rules.
Pay money?
Impossible, right?
Offer beauties?
Goodness, he's already dead, is he still into that?
Tang Rao envisioned countless possibilities, finding none that Geng Yu truly needed.
"Swear me as your master, then I'll pass the inheritance to you, otherwise I'd rather destroy it."
Geng Yu returned to the main point.
Why does getting an inheritance always require acknowledging a master?
I already have a master; swearing another would bring divine wrath upon me.
You Immortal Emperors simply don't understand worldly hardships.
Utterly detestable.
"But I already have a master, swearing another would betray my sect, and I can't do that."
Tang Rao declined directly.
You can ask me to do other things, but I simply won't betray my sect.
Tang Rao was nearly breaking into tears.
It's not that I don't want to betray the sect.
Consider this, my master is Chen Tuan, who is now Sun Yan.
My master is the disciple I kicked out in this life.
The relationships here are already so chaotic.
Swearing another master would entangle me further.
This is absolutely impossible.
Geng Yu was fuming at Tang Rao, he had indeed overlooked something.
Tang Rao had joined the Kao Shan Sect upon arriving at the Land of Immortals.
In all this time, he never swore a master or joined any other Great Sect.
Geng Yu thought Tang Rao was a Loose Cultivator, yet he'd already had a master.
Asking him to betray his master was unquestionably unfair.
But Geng Yu had sworn once, inheritance could only be given to someone in his sect.
In terms of inheritance eligibility, Tang Rao wasn't even on the list.
"This is rather problematic."
Geng Yu paced back and forth in the Image Stone, trying to find a win-win solution.
An Immortal Emperor, unable to give away an inheritance, disheartened.
Only a unique individual like Geng Yu could experience such.
"Actually, I have another idea, how about joining our Kao Shan Sect? That way, I can receive your inheritance. Didn't I mention I'm the Sect Master of Kao Shan Sect? If you join, you become a part of My Mountain Sect."
Hehe, the Tenth Generation Core Disciple of Qiongqi.
Geng Yu.
Tang Rao asked Geng Yu to join the Kao Shan Sect, quite the big statement.
"Hey, why didn't I think of this? I'm already dead, technically no longer part of my sect. Joining Kao Shan Sect wouldn't count as betrayal, not bad!"
Geng Yu agreed to Tang Rao's utterly absurd suggestion with no Immortal Emperor's arrogance whatsoever.
"What? Senior, perhaps you should reconsider?"
Such a matter, Geng Yu didn't even utter a word against it.
Very peculiar.
The air abounds with a sense of conspiracy.
"I've waited ten thousand years for you; if I wait any longer, the inheritance will vanish, it's up to you."
Geng Yu, having been with Tang Rao so briefly, caught on to his temperament.
This guy bends with softness, not hardness, and is quite greedy.
With that in mind, Geng Yu didn't hesitate to lay down his trump card.
"Alright, getting an Immortal Emperor disciple without lifting a finger! I'm gaining after all, but what a pity you're dead, utterly useless."
Tang Rao, hitting straight to the heart of the matter.
You think I wanted to die? I didn't want to; it was just fate, the Heavenly Dao's reincarnation, not for me to decide.
Sadly, the Heavenly Mechanism can't be disclosed, wherever Geng Yu's soul went, Tang Rao would gradually find out.
Geng Yu agreed to join the Kao Shan Sect, making the bond effective.
"Now, go sit in the lotus seedpod ahead."
Geng Yu pointed forward.
The lotus seedpod was rather small, its stem looked significantly sturdier than others.
Tang Rao followed Geng Yu's directions in everything.
