Villainous Cao Cao: Inheriting Everything from the Chosen One

Chu Hao gripped the mirror heart pill in his hand and nodded solemnly: ”Don’t worry, I know what to do.”

After saying that, he swallowed the pill. Instantly, he felt his mind clear as all distracting thoughts were washed away.

This way, I should be able to distinguish between reality and illusion, right?

The corners of Chu Hao’s mouth curled up slightly, his face full of confidence.

”They are here,” Emperor Xuan suddenly spoke to remind him.

The three of them looked toward the sound and saw Cao Bu leading Su Li, Gu Feng, and the others as they slowly walked into the hall.

Both sides still exchanged a few polite pleasantries before Cao Bu got straight to the point: ”Everyone, today’s final stage test: the Opportunity for Immortal Ascension.”

As his voice fell, he turned to Su Li and said respectfully, ”Adoptive Mother, please take action.”

Su Li’s movements were no different from the previous two times.

Soon, Chu Hao, Gu Feng, Yun Shang, and Gu Yin entered the thousand illusions exquisite pagoda together.

Two light screens then appeared in the hall, clearly showing the scenes of the four people inside the pagoda.

One hour later.

The four people in the light screens had already spent five hundred thousand years within the Plot Illusion.

During these five hundred thousand years, they spent almost all their time in secluded Cultivation, and their appearances changed from youthful youths to white-haired elders.

Their cultivations had all reached Great Emperor Peak, only one step away from Immortal Ascension.

At this moment, they finally reached the final moment of the Plot Illusion.

Inside the Immortal Palace Legacy Ground.

Gu Feng and Yun Shang passed through numerous obstacles and finally stood before the Legacy.

The two of them looked at the manifesting Ye Linglong in front of them and bowed respectfully: ”Greetings, Senior.”

Ye Linglong spoke with feigned solemnity: ”I am the Immortal Palace Spirit. This object is the Immortal Ascension Legacy; you only need to refine it to ascend to immortality.”

Her gaze swept over the two of them, and a meaningful smile curled at the corners of her mouth: ”However, this Legacy can only be given to one person.”

”As for the other person... they must die.”

Gu Feng and Yun Shang glanced at each other. Their surfaces were calm and rippleless, but an undercurrent was already surging in their eyes.

During the five hundred thousand years in the illusion, because of the plot arrangements, the feelings between the two had long become negligible.

Now, facing the Opportunity for Immortal Ascension, the two of them had almost no hesitation as they simultaneously struck at each other.

Seeing this scene, a flash of interest appeared in Ye Linglong’s eyes.

On the other side, Chu Hao and Gu Yin also drew their swords against each other and began to fight.

Outside the pagoda.

Emperor Xuan looked at the light screen and couldn’t help but speak out in exasperation: ”Steward Cao, Fellow Daoist Su, this is clearly mixing the first stage and the third stage together!”

”With you arranging it like this, what meaning does the first stage even have?”

He would rather this stage be a pure test of the Opportunity for Immortal Ascension than see this current situation mixed with a life-and-death choice.

Cao Bu waved his hand, his tone carrying a bit of helplessness: ”Your Majesty Emperor Xuan, I didn’t want it to be like this either.”

”But before my Adoptive Father ascended, he specifically instructed me, as the eldest brother, to keep my eyes peeled and make sure to help my younger sisters find good husbands.”

”As an Adopted Son, I cannot go against my Adoptive Father’s instructions.”

”Please bear with me, both of you. After all, there was already a lesson before; if another mistake occurs, my Gu Clan will truly have no face to stand in the Spirit Realm.”

”Of course, I’m not saying Crown Prince Chu Hao’s character is poor, it’s just that between him and Little Sister Yin, after all, the fate is lacking.”

”Since the fate isn’t enough, why force it?”

His tone shifted as he said casually, ”If Your Majesty Emperor Xuan has plans to join my Gu Clan, after this Steward returns this time, I will certainly report it to Mother Leng. I’m sure the other members of the Gu Clan would also welcome Your Majesty’s joining.”
