Upon hearing Qizi's words, the elder called Old Ghost at the counter slowly raised his head.
His face was somewhat ferocious and eerie.
His skin was parched like the yellow earth, with countless cracks.
His eyes were deeply sunken.
His nose was hooked like an eagle's, and his hair was very dense, almost covering his eyes.
Old Ghost calmly said, "Do you know what the Empress's legacy is?"
"I'll know once I acquire it," Qizi replied.
"That's not a legacy, it's a deadly poison. You can't touch it, and neither can I," said Old Ghost.
His gaze was profound.
Seeing Qizi's seemingly disbelieving expression, he explained, "Some Principles left behind by the Empress.
If you take those Principles, you'll become an enemy of the Heavenly Dao.
Years ago, I examined that legacy.
But I dared not touch it, and no one else dared to either."
At this point, Old Ghost chuckled self-mockingly.
