Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 378 Radical Conservatives

Out of curiosity, Qin Sheng asked Jiang Ming to bring the messenger over as well, as he had some questions for him.

While waiting, Qin Sheng sipped his spiritual tea and noticed that his maid seemed a little downcast. He smiled and said:

"Don't be so pessimistic. Perhaps the Moon Palace hasn't given up on you, but has sent a message to me, telling me to hand you over, or I will be killed without mercy."

The feeling of being abandoned by one's own sect must be unpleasant. Qin Sheng had never experienced it, but he could understand.

"How could that be?"

Yi Qingwu looked at Qin Sheng with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?" and said:
“Even if the Supreme Master doesn’t know that you have severed your Dao, she would not have this attitude towards the Devouring Demon Canopy.”

"The Supreme Master is not such a radical person."

The main reason is that the Guanghan Palace would not invite a saint to seek justice for the sake of a saintess.

There are holy women in every generation, but once the essence of a saint is born, there is no way to replenish it.

Qin Sheng knew that when Yi Qingwu reached the second level of the Immortal Realm, she would be able to enter the Eight Forbidden Domains, cultivate a divine form, and have a limitless future. Her value far exceeded that of a normal saint, but the Guanghan Palace was unaware of this.

It can only be said that the cowardly Guanghan Palace doesn't understand its own Holy Maiden as well as Qin Shengshen.

"I do hope that your Supreme Master can bring me some surprises," Qin Sheng said.

"Is the current Supreme Master of Guanghan Palace Ye Yingyue?" Fairy Qinghong asked.

“Yes.” Yi Qingwu nodded.

"I even fought her back then; she was quite a prodigy," Fairy Qinghong praised.

What was the result?

"I did not take her life."

Got it, I almost got killed by Fairy Qinghong back then.

The Supreme Master of Guanghan was able to cultivate to the fourth level of the Dao-Slaying Realm at just over two thousand years old. Although the Ziwei environment played a role, it can indeed be said that he was exceptionally talented.

However, there are always people more capable than oneself, and there is always a higher level to reach. Compared to Fairy Qinghong, who almost became a saint, the gap between them is not small.

"This Supreme Leader is still very young, why did he abdicate?" Qin Sheng asked curiously.

"Back then, in order to break through to the Dao-Severing Realm, the Supreme Master relinquished all his religious duties and refused to leave seclusion until he succeeded."

Qin Sheng understood; this was because he had successfully broken through to the next level and then returned to be the retired emperor.

As they were talking, the messenger was soon brought up and bowed respectfully to the three men.

"Greetings, Master of the Eight Views Palace..."

"Are you from the Moon Palace?" Qin Sheng asked.

However, he observed that this person's magical abilities were rather ordinary, and he didn't seem to be from a major sect.

"I'm just a rogue cultivator, entrusted by someone to deliver this letter on behalf of the Guanghan Palace, to earn some resources for my child's cultivation." The messenger shook his head.

"The world calls me the Sun Demon Lord. I have killed more powerful beings than you have ever seen in your life. If the contents of this letter anger me, you will be in danger."

Qin Sheng asked with great interest, "How much source energy did the Moon Palace give you to make you willing to take such a risk?"

"Eighty," the messenger answered truthfully.

"Eight hundred thousand? That's quite generous." Qin Sheng understood.

People die for wealth, just as birds die for food.

Eight hundred thousand catties of source material is enough for those shameless passersby in Beidou Holy City to buy a few seeds of the Immortal Medicine.

When Qin Sheng and Ye Fan gambled on stones in the Holy City, this amount of resources could be described as an astonishing gamble.

Let alone delivering a letter, countless people would be eager to do it, even if it meant selling their body and soul.

"No, no, no, there are no 'ten thousand'." The messenger was a little dizzy and quickly shook his head.

As expected of the invincible master of the Eight Views Palace, he casually mentioned 800,000 jin of source material. How incredibly generous!

I heard he comes from the ancient star of the Big Dipper. Is it really that rich there? Is it perhaps filled with pure sources of energy, where you can find divine sources just by walking down the street?

“…Eighty, not ten thousand? So that’s eighty jin?” Qin Sheng was stunned.

"Yes, yes, that's eighty catties of pure source."

Qin Sheng: "..."

According to what Jiang Ming told him, this messenger had been in the Sun City for over a year, and even when the people of the Sun God Cult told him that they could deliver the message from Guanghan on his behalf, he refused.

The messenger firmly stated that he would personally complete the mission entrusted by the Moon Palace, ensuring that nothing went wrong and that he would never betray the trust placed in him.

Qin Sheng thought the Moon Palace had given him some great benefit, or perhaps threatened him, but...

Are you trying to kill yourself with 80 pounds of Yuan?
"You... are very good, very principled."

Qin Sheng glanced at Yi Qingwu, his meaning clear: Is your Guanghan Palace really that stingy?

Such a powerful force, yet it has such limited capacity; it's a disgrace to Ziwei. I feel ashamed.

Pah! Shameless!
Yi Qingwu was also embarrassed and annoyed. She asked the messenger, "Which junior sister in my sect asked you to deliver this letter?"

"I've never met anyone from the Moon Palace; it's a friend of mine." The messenger was very honest and answered all questions.

“Someone asked him to deliver a message, and since he was looking out for me, he took me along so I could also earn a share of the profits.”

Qin Sheng nodded silently. "Your friend is quite something; he doesn't forget his brother even when there's such a good thing."

"Have you heard from your friend who in the Moon Palace contacted him?" Yi Qingwu asked again.

"The person who contacted my friend wasn't a senior from the Moon Palace either; he was just following someone else's lead," the messenger replied.

Yi Qingwu: "..."

Could it be that someone is using the name of my Moon Palace to send false information?

Qin Sheng finally understood: this is just outsourcing!
The Moon Palace might have initially given 80,000 jin of resources to A to do something. A then gave 8,000 jin to B, and B then gave 800 jin to C...

Qin Sheng said, "How could a top-tier sect like Ziwei be so petty? If this gets out, people will laugh at us for the rest of their lives."

He's laughing right now.

"By the way, did you get those eighty catties of Yuan all at once?" Qin Sheng thought of something.

"Half was given; the rest can only be obtained after completing the task."

That's inhuman! They even try to cut back on this hard-earned money!

"Let me see the letter," Yi Qingwu said.

The messenger took out a sealed jade slip with a crescent moon mark on it.

"It is indeed the seal of the Moon Palace. If you try to open it by force without knowing how to undo it, it will immediately collapse."

As Yi Qingwu spoke, she released the magic seal and handed over the jade slip.

When Qin Sheng probed into it with his divine sense and read its contents, even though he was used to seeing great storms and traversing all the heavens, he was stunned.

"Master of the Eight Views Palace, my Supreme Master has decreed that you be granted a glimpse into Laozi's legacy and that you serve the Guanghan Palace. Only then can all grudges be settled."

'If you are unwilling, the Supreme Master will have the Eight Trigrams Palace replaced with a new master. I hope you will think it over carefully!'

No, this letter was forged by Duan De, wasn't it?
Qin Sheng couldn't believe that anyone would dare say such a thing to him. He read it several times to make sure he wasn't seeing things. Qin Sheng smiled.

"I thought the Golden Crow King was invincible, but I never expected there would be someone in the world who is even more valiant than him."

"Your Ziwei cultivation world always manages to come up with something new for me."

Yi Qingwu was puzzled; why was she laughing?
Qin Sheng returned the jade slip to her and asked the Moon Fairy to take a look. After Yi Qingwu saw the contents, everything went black.

It’s over.

Ye Yingyue, are you trying to destroy the Moon Palace?!

"The Supreme Master who can say such things isn't considered a radical within your Guanghan Palace? Then what does a true radical look like?"

Qin Sheng was genuinely curious about this question.

The conservatives already want him, the master of the Devouring Demon Canopy, to kneel down and become a dog. Wouldn't the radicals storm into the Primordial Ancient Mine and skin the supreme beings inside alive?
I underestimated this ancient star; the people of Ziwei are no less capable than those of Beidou.

Yi Qingwu silently put down the jade slip and took deep breaths. The usually quiet Fairy Qinghong wondered what was going on.

After she finished reading the information in the jade slip, even the usually composed Fairy Qinghong showed a hint of shock on her face.

Is Ye Yingyue really that fierce?
Was she putting on an act during that battle more than two thousand years ago, deliberately letting me win?
"I think there must be some misunderstanding here," Yi Qingwu tried to salvage the situation.

Qin Sheng ignored him and looked at the messenger, asking, "When did you receive this commission?"

"Before the Solar Assembly, it was just too expensive to use the teleportation array, so I flew here, which took a little longer on the way," the messenger replied.

Why are you so dedicated? Why don't you just carry that forty pounds of raw material and run?

Yi Qingwu looked up at the sky; she had already guessed the truth.

Qin Sheng suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder I was wondering why the Supreme Master of Guanghan was so "conservative"—it turns out there was a time lag involved.

This letter was probably sent by someone from the Guanghan Palace after I captured Yi Qingwu at Moon Mist Mountain.

Furthermore, Qin Sheng estimated that after he gradually demonstrated his astonishing strength, the Guanghan Palace should have already withdrawn the letter of execution.

After all this time, none of the outsourced staff had arrived, only this person had come. His appearance was probably beyond the expectations of the Guanghan Palace.

"You spent so much time on eighty catties of source, was it worth it?" Yi Qingwu asked weakly.

If time could be reversed, how much the Moon Goddess would wish to return to the Ancient City of the Sun.

"I must keep my promise, of course. The source is what I want, but I can't abandon my principles as a person." The messenger said matter-of-factly.

He keeps his word; he's a man of principle.

"Well said, I admire you, and I will reward you handsomely."

Qin Sheng said to Yi Qingwu, "It is your blessing that Guanghan Palace has found such a trustworthy person."

"As the goddess of the moon, you gave this friend eight thousand catties of source. You are a man of integrity and cannot be denied a reward."

Such loyalty and keeping of promises made Qin Sheng feel as if he saw himself in the messenger.

Duan De is my witness, and I, Qin Sheng, am just that kind of person.

It resonated deeply with what belonged to them.

Yi Qingwu: "..."

My Guanghan Palace is about to be wiped out by you because of this person, and I should thank him?
"No, no," the messenger shook his head repeatedly, refusing the generous reward.

“I only take what I am entitled to. It is a trivial matter, not worth eight thousand catties of gold.”

Qin Sheng was filled with awe. It was astonishing that the ancient star Ziwei still had such a person of integrity, reminiscent of the sages of the past.

It's already comparable to one ten-thousandth of what he, the master of the Eight Views Palace, has!
But Qin Sheng always kept his word; if he said he would reward someone, then he would definitely give away those eight thousand catties of resources.

"This is no small matter; it is of utmost importance to both me and Fairy Guanghan. Fortunately, you stood firm, or we would have missed it," Qin Sheng said earnestly.

"This reward is well-deserved. Use it to buy more cultivation resources for the child."

Finally, the messenger left with the source given to him by Yi Qingwu, as if in a dream.

"The master of the Eight Views Palace is a wise and righteous person, a true cultivator and a virtuous senior. The so-called Demon Lord, Killing Machine, and genocidal villain are clearly slanders." The messenger spoke up for Qin Sheng.

"This senior is so kind to a nobody like me, praising me generously, and even willing to ask the Fairy of the Moon Palace to help me. He is truly worthy of respect, like a saint."

"The rumors outside have demonized the master of the Eight Views Palace, which is really excessive."

This world is terrible; good people are portrayed as bad people!
The messenger decided that after returning home, he and his family would move to the ancient city of the sun to settle down, so as to be close to the sun-like radiance of the master of the Eight Views Palace.

In the mountain pavilion, Qin Sheng gazed at the Moon Goddess and chuckled softly.

"I don't want to give up the inheritance of the Eight Views Palace, but I don't want to lose my life either. What do you think I should do?"

Yi Qingwu's temperament became increasingly austere.

Ye Yingyue, you wicked devil!

I endured humiliation and hardship here, and finally managed to eliminate this man's dislike for the Moon Palace, and then you pull this stunt?
You deserve to die!
Seeing that Yi Qingwu remained silent, Qin Sheng continued:

"You know my strength. When I was a Great Power, I could easily slaughter five Great Completion Kings with an Emperor Weapon. Now, destroying one or two Saints should not be a problem."

Even if an imperial weapon cannot revive on its own, it is not omnipotent. When using an imperial weapon at a lower realm to fight against a higher realm, there are two main concerns.

First, it consumes too much energy, and you'll be exhausted after only a few hits; second, you won't be able to hit the opponent, and they'll kite you until you're too weak to unleash your invincible imperial might, then turn around and kill you.

However, given Qin Sheng's situation, his divine power, in terms of both quality and quantity, as well as speed, is unmatched by any normal king.

His mastery of the "Xing" character secret is unparalleled in its speed; his expertise in this nine-secret art far exceeds expectations, not to mention the "Bing" character secret.

"You know about Senior Qinghong's situation; there's a high probability he can become a saint."

Yi Qingwu became even more worried.

With the foundation of Guanghan Palace, Yi Qingwu knew that if there was only one saint, they could not be destroyed, but if they were targeted by the saint of the present day, their lineage was destined to decline.

Even if they bring out their hidden strength, it will be useless. The lifespan of the current saint is definitely longer than that of the divine source saint. They can outlast the Guanghan Palace.

But what if a sage wields an imperial weapon...?

Yi Qingwu dared not think about it.

It can be said that only after reaching the Saint Realm can one truly unleash some of the power of an Emperor Weapon.

"You have nothing to say? Then I'll leave with Nannan."

Fairy Qinghong remained silent. Although she had a good impression of Fairy Guanghan, she would only be responsible for Qin Sheng.

Yi Qingwu lowered her head, her voice mournful, "Could you please forgive Guanghan Palace just this once?"

"What do you think?"

Do you even know whose will is dormant within me?
“If the Guanghan Palace declines and perishes, then your maid will no longer be the high and mighty Guanghan Fairy, and your engagement with Yin Tiande will be canceled.” Yi Qingwu said with light red lips.

"You probably don't want to see me lose these two identities and all my glory, do you?"

Qin Sheng: "..."

Wu, you are a genius. Your IQ must be 250.
