Elven Legacy (Part 2)

Chapter 352: Deal Or No Deal?

"Haa, yes indeed; I wasn't able to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation; that ninth lightning is something terrifying." Said Scholarly-Demon with a slight nod as he gazed at the three before looking at the sky, causing them to do the same.

"Oh, trust us, we know." Muttered Elif lightly as he summoned his Quạt tay and fanned himself while Illumia and Sarah nodded in agreement.

"Anyway, mind explaining why we're in your hidden abode?" Asked Elif curiously as he glanced at the Scholarly Demon, who looked at him before nodding.

"Well, it's rather simple, really. In case I didn't survive the heavenly Tribulation, I had gathered everything I owned and placed it in this abode so that one day, perhaps a lucky cultivator could come and continue my legacy." Replied Scholarly Demon as he turned around and gently waved his arm, gesturing to the abode they currently resided in.

"I figured as much, but I'm surprised you haven't found a successor as of yet; it's been many generations since your passing, and who knows how many other entrances you have littered across the OverRealm." Said Elif lightly with a nod as he gazed at Scholarly Demon, who shook his head.

"You'd be surprised at how many hidden abodes of Legendary figures have yet to be discovered, let alone one that has found a successor. Speaking of Legendary Figures, has the Chaos Lord's Hidden Abode been found?" Remarked Scholarly Demon calmly with a faint smirk as he glanced at Elif, who nodded, not doubting his words, only for him to furrow his brows in curiosity.

"Chaos Lord? First time I heard someone actually mention him... No, the Chaos Lord's Inheritance has yet to be found, though I'm surprised he has one in the first place; did he not go insane from the numerous souls he absorbed after he got his revenge?" Stated Elif with a raised eyebrow before shaking his head, only to curiously glance at Scholarly Demon, who nodded.

"Yes, he did. However, before he got his revenge, he foresaw his future and created a hidden abode where he left everything for his successor." Replied Scholarly Demon, his words causing Elif and Illumia to frown slightly while Sarah just tilted her head in confusion.

"...I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I believe he may have perfected the Chaotic Scripture." Stated Scholarly Demon softly, his words causing Illumia and Elif's eyes to widen while their expressions turned solemn.

"Perfected the Chaotic Scripture?" Asked Illumia with a deep frown as she looked at the Scholarly Demon, who faintly nodded.

"So you're saying the Chaos Lord managed to reach such strength with an imperfect cultivation technique? I could only imagine how powerful the perfected version would be... Could it be stronger than the Elven Royal Cultivation technique?" Asked Elif with a frown as he narrowed his eyes at Scholarly Demon, who nodded, causing him to forcefully shut his Quạt tay.

"Um, i-is the Chaotic Scripture bad?" Asked Sarah softly as she glanced between the three, causing Elif to sigh and Illumia's face to twitch while Scholarly-Demon chuckled.

"Sarah, when we return to the Realm Sect, please read some books on history." Replied Elif with a sigh as he rubbed his face while looking at Sarah, who softly blushed and nodded.

"Now then, about the Chaotic Scripture..." Said Elif as he shifted his focus to Scholarly Demon, who shook his head.

"Your concern is understandable, but it's mostly unneeded; the perfected version merely eliminates the chance of the souls you've consumed to take you over. Of course, that's at the cost of taking longer to properly refine them, so if anything, the Perfected version is a tad bit weaker, but overall, the one who uses it will not need to worry about their future self being consumed with madness." Declared Scholarly Demon, his words causing Illumia and Elif to sigh in relief while he opened his Quạt tay.
