Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 419 The Hope of Proving the Way

"It's so hot."

After finishing the Golden Crow King roasted meat, Ye Fan's face turned red and steam rose from his head, as if he had been over-nourished.

Although a king is not as superhuman or transcendent as a saint, and a single strand of hair can cleave through mountains and rivers, the gap between Master Ye and the Golden Crow King is quite large now, as the latter's flesh is too powerful for him.

The little girl was different; she ate heartily without any adverse reactions.

My brother is so lame.

"The thought of you all eating so well and having so many opportunities on the ancient Ziwei Star makes my heart ache and my liver hurt."

Black Emperor truly felt he had miscalculated; he should have followed Qin Sheng. The man surnamed Ye was simply not worth his time.

Although it's unlikely that you'll get the lion's share of the opportunities if you're with Qin Sheng, getting one-thousandth of a hundred million is still better than splitting half of a hundred.

"Everyone has their own destiny, and you all look radiant..."

Qin Sheng glanced at Ye Fan, whose injuries were obvious, and at Black Emperor, whose dog hair had been plucked, and felt that this word was a bit inappropriate, so he changed his words:

"Judging from your current impressive achievements, you must have had extraordinary lives. These are all valuable assets. Thousands of years from now, when you look back on the past, you can cherish them. Suffering is a blessing."

Black Emperor spat, "Those who say that must have never suffered, but have always been enjoying life!"

Ye Fan also looked annoyed. "Don't even mention it. These past two years have been... incredibly unlucky for me. It's all that damn dog's fault!"

"After you returned to the Eastern Wilderness to see the God King, I obtained a clue left behind by an ancient family in the Central Plains—the Cai Clan. After making inquiries from various sources, I discovered that this ancient family possessed one of the Nine Secrets."

"I was very excited at the time, thinking about finding the Nine Secrets. It took a lot of effort and I offended a lot of people in the process."

"As far as I know, the Cai clan possesses the secret of the military..." Qin Sheng's expression was strange.

"You know? Why didn't you tell me when we obtained the Secret of the Military?"

"You didn't ask either," Qin Sheng said, shrugging.

Ye Fan really couldn't refute it, after all, they had obtained the "Soldier's Secret" smoothly before, and Master Ye didn't care about its origin at that time.

Since arriving in Beidou and joining the Yaoguang Holy Land, Qin Sheng has clearly learned more secrets from Ye Fan's perspective.

He wasn't sure if some information was classified as Yao Guang's secret, or if it involved things Qin Sheng couldn't reveal, so he generally wouldn't pry too deeply, lest he put his good brother in a difficult position.

"I followed the clues all the way back, and ended up back at Qinmen in the Qinling Mountains."

When Ye Fan saw the Qin Clan's gate again, he felt like vomiting blood. He thought he had incredible luck and could acquire the second Nine Secrets in Zhongzhou, but in the end, he made a wasted trip.

Oh no, it wasn't a wasted trip. Ye Fan offended some people there. He went empty-handed, but at least he came back with a blood feud, so it wasn't a wasted trip.

"The Nine Secrets originated from the Eastern Wilderness. It would be remarkable if the Central Plains had even one Secret of the Military rank. How could there be any others?" The Black Emperor rolled his eyes.

"Perhaps this is proof that you are destined to be with the Cai clan," Qin Sheng said with a smile.

"Indeed, I also discovered the place where the Cai clan's sage attained enlightenment." Ye Fan's eyes still showed surprise as he recalled it.

“That Cai clan sage must have passed away in recent years. I’m afraid no one would have imagined that such a powerful ancient sage would live in the mountains and wilderness of Zhongzhou, unknown and like a hermit.”

"No one knows when he was born, and if I had not discovered his place of transformation, no one would know when he died."

This is truly moving. A powerful sage, who could have soared through the heavens and roamed freely across the land, chose instead to remain an anonymous figure.

From the perspective of the prosperity of the cultivation world alone, it is undoubtedly a pity that a saint would live in seclusion and never leave the world.

"The Big Dipper is too vast. A case like the Cai Clan Sage is not unique," Qin Sheng sighed.

"Within the Five Domains, including the boundless ocean outside, besides the God King and the old madman, there must be other reclusive saints, we just don't know it."

Wei Yi of the Tianxuan Holy Land, and a guardian beast of the Nanling Barbarians, are what Qin Sheng already knows. And the saints he doesn't know about definitely exist.

These reclusive saints may have been so suppressed by the Azure Emperor's Great Dao that they have little worldly desire and rarely venture out to travel the world.

"So, it seems that our Beidou is only weaker than Ziwei in terms of the King level, and has fewer powerful beings than them," Ye Fan said.

"Hmph, Beidou is..." Black Emperor muttered, but didn't finish his sentence.

Dead Dog keeps many things hidden in his heart, and he won't reveal them unless they are exposed in advance or he decides to say them himself.

After being greatly disappointed upon his second return to the Qin Sect, Ye Fan prepared to embark on a arduous journey of cultivation.

The reason he didn't return to the Eastern Wilderness with Qin Sheng was because the Dragon Marrow from the Central Plains was extremely helpful to him. Therefore, Ye Fan originally wanted to cultivate in seclusion and didn't want to get involved in any trouble.

In the original storyline, his plan was realized, and he indeed cultivated peacefully for nearly two years.

But that was without the Black Emperor. Now that Dead Dog has arrived in Central Continent ahead of schedule, regarding Ye Fan's idea of ​​going into seclusion for arduous cultivation...

Black King chose to say no: I will not allow you to live a peaceful life!
What happened next with Ye Fan and the Black Emperor needs no further explanation; it was thrilling and exciting, but also a familiar story.

Qin Sheng listened to Ye Fan's story, his heart remaining completely calm.

This was entirely expected. If Master Ip didn't have enemies all over the world, he wouldn't be Master Ip.

"Brother, you've worked so hard." The little girl was very sensible.

The thought of her being happy in Ziwei while her brother was facing danger in Beidou made Nannan feel guilty, so she ate roasted golden crow again.

She also took the time to feed DouDou, but the little fox had not yet begun its cultivation, let alone be able to withstand the flesh and blood of a fully-fledged king. Qin Sheng had already refined the power inside beforehand.

"Is it true that after the Northern Emperor Teng, another leader-level genius has emerged in the Northern Plains?" Qin Sheng asked.

“It’s true. That person is very strong. He once confronted Nan Yao. Although the two did not fight, Nan Yao told his sister afterwards that he was a formidable enemy.” Ye Fan nodded.

After saying that, he also displayed a divine vision, manifesting the image of that genius.

This is a young man, heroic and extraordinary, with cold and icy eyes, giving off a sense of superiority, looking down on everything, and holding life and death in his hands.

Qin Sheng was somewhat puzzled. If there were such figures in Beiyuan, then in the original timeline, even under Wang Teng's brilliance, they shouldn't have been completely unknown.

What is his background?
"I've also heard that Princess Yueling seems to have a lot of opinions about you? What's going on?" Qin Sheng asked curiously.

"When did you return to Beidou? How come you've heard everything from others?"

Ye Fan's face darkened; he now seriously suspected that he had been tricked into rescuing someone at a critical moment.

Black Emperor quickly replied, "That guy surnamed Ye is too wicked, so wicked it's rotten. Once during a battle, he took off the princess's stockings and said he would send them to a super auction."

"How could she, a high and mighty fairy, the second most beautiful woman in Zhongzhou, tolerate such a thing? Even if I put myself in her shoes, I don't think I could tolerate it!"

What happened next was only natural.

"...Ye Zi, it's your freedom to like whatever you want, but don't mention knowing me when you go out in the future."

Qin Sheng hesitated, not understanding such a peculiar hobby, but still expressing his respect.

In the world of Beidou cultivation, a brilliant entrepreneur from Earth was driven to become a ghost.

"I was forced into it!" Ye Fan's face darkened further.

"Oh, look at what you're saying, it's as if Fairy Moon Spirit forced you to do it." Black Emperor said sarcastically.

"Immortal Qin, the reason we were being hunted down this time is because we discovered an earth-shattering opportunity." Ye Fan abruptly changed the subject.

"Oh? Tell me more?"

Qin Sheng had a guess about the opportunity Ye Fan mentioned.

"One or both of the Immortal Transformation Pool and the Ancient Dragon's Lair in the Qinling Mountains may be about to emerge."

The Immortal Transformation Pool and the Ancient Dragon's Lair are the two most famous places of creation in the Central Plains. It is said that possessing either one will give one the hope of attaining enlightenment.

The former is said to be related to immortals, while the latter is the largest and strongest dragon's lair in the Qinling Mountains, which is also the ancestral vein of the Central Plains, so its level is self-evident.

"You've come back just in time. With your current strength, once they emerge, you'll definitely be able to defeat everyone and seize all the opportunities." Ye Fan became excited.

Even the Big Dipper has other imperial weapons that can counteract the Devouring Demon Canopy, and Qin Sheng's cultivation level is undeniably the best in the Five Domains.

He fears no one, not even if a god-king or a reclusive sage does not appear.

Just thinking about it made Ye Fan feel hopeful about the future.

If the ancient dragon's lair and the dragon transformation pool really appear, then wouldn't I and Immortal Qin together slaughter the heroes of the Big Dipper?

Ye Fan felt invincible.

"This is what they call arriving at the right time, not just arriving early." Qin Sheng was also very satisfied.

"Oh, right." Black Emperor's eyes darted around, and mischievous thoughts kept popping out.

"No one knows that you, Immortal Qin, have returned from Ziwei and successfully severed your Dao. You can stay out of sight for now. Wait until the Immortal Transformation Pool appears, then pull off a big heist."

Those living fossils were instantly killed by Jin Shanshan, without any chance to send out the news. The Beidou Holy Land would implant methods in its young disciples to allow the images of their deaths to be transmitted back, serving as a deterrent to others and also as a means to avenge their descendants in case of dire circumstances.

But living fossils don't have this on them.

The reason is simple: the cost is too high.

And they were already a group of people who were going to die anyway...

“That makes sense.” Ye Fan also agreed with Black Emperor’s suggestion.

“If you come with me directly, then no one else will dare to jump out. We can’t let those bastards get away with it too easily.”

"You may not know this, but since you left, the powerful beings of Beidou have returned to normal and rarely carry king-level divine weapons or holy weapons when they travel."

Previously, Qin Sheng used a king-level divine weapon in the underground palace of Licheng to roam the underground tomb; and in the Immortal Mansion world, he used a holy weapon to seize a holy weapon when everyone was caught off guard.

This indirectly exacerbated the infighting among the Beidou Saints.

Dongxian is already strong, and he always carries royal and holy weapons with him. We don't have anything of the same level, so it's impossible for us to fight against him.

Therefore, in the past, when the holy lords traveled, they did not feel safe unless they carried items of equal status.

But after Qin Sheng left, the Holy Lords immediately felt the pressure ease, and as dawn broke, they returned to their previous normal state.

After all, such behavior is too extravagant.

"Are you trying to entrap us?"

Qin Sheng sighed inwardly; the three evils of the Big Dipper were too wicked.

But there's nothing I can do; we're brothers, in my heart.

"Ye Zi, this is the last time," Qin Sheng agreed.

"In addition, I am indeed interested in both places and have things to do."

"What do you want to do?" Ye Fan asked.

"Find someone."

Next, Qin Sheng asked Ye Fan for directions to the depths of the Qinling Mountains. On the way, Fairy Caiyun asked him a question.

"Do you have any news about Brother Taixu?"

"The God King has been cultivating in seclusion at the Jiang family. Outsiders don't know what he's doing, and we have no way of knowing either," Ye Fan replied.

"It seems that it hasn't succeeded yet..."

Fairy Caiyun was somewhat worried, but she did not intend to return to the Eastern Wilderness immediately. Instead, she wanted to see the so-called Immortal Transformation Pool and the Ancient Dragon's Lair.

It wasn't that she valued opportunity more than the God King; Fairy Caiyun simply wanted to try and see if she could obtain something useful to Jiang Taixu from these two places.

If we can gain something from it, that would be the best outcome.

"I've gained some insights from my time at Ziwei Temple..."

Qin Sheng passed on things like the Taiyin Ancient Scripture and the Zhezi Secret to Ye Fan, which broadened his horizons.

"You've already collected six of the nine secrets: Zhe, Bing, Xing, Qian, Dou, Jie." Ye Fan exclaimed in amazement.

"Immortal Qin, you might actually be able to gather all nine secrets and create an eternal miracle after they were lost."

"It's difficult. I don't hold out much hope until my cultivation is fully developed," Qin Sheng shook his head.

"What about me? What about me? Why don't you pass them on to me?" Black Emperor scratched his head anxiously.

Qin Sheng laughed and said, "If you want it, I can give it to you in exchange for the Boundless Secret Technique."

"Boy, you're asking for the moon!" Black Emperor jumped up and down. The Beginningless Sutra was Dead Dog's lifeblood and the object of his hopes.

“Whether it’s the Taiyin Ancient Scripture or the Zhezi Secret, their actual value exceeds that of the Wushi Secret Technique. Strictly speaking, you’re the one who benefits from exchanging them with me.” Qin Sheng acted as if the Black Emperor couldn’t do math.

"Also, don't say you don't know any of the beginningless laws. You can fool others with that, but you can't fool me."

"Even if you haven't seen it before, you can go back to Zishan and learn it on the spot."

The Wushi Sutra in Zishan is very challenging to understand one's mindset.

In theory, collecting nine pieces of imperial jade would fulfill the basic conditions for obtaining the inheritance, but there is also a Boundless Bell guarding the place.

If you are not born with a sacred body and Dao embryo, even if you collect all the Emperor Jade, you can forget about obtaining the Beginningless Scripture.

If the Beginningless Bell believes you can receive the inheritance, then you have a chance even without the Imperial Jade; if it doesn't approve of you, then even if you conjure up ninety-nine pieces of Imperial Jade out of thin air, it will be of no use.

However, the Wushi Sutra contains contingency plans left by Wushi to deal with the chaos of darkness, so under normal circumstances, even the Black Emperor cannot easily use it.

"Hmph, it's just a secret technique, how can it compare to the Great Emperor's secret arts? I don't care."

The Black Emperor turned his head and said, "There is also the Taiyin Ancient Scripture. My Black Emperor Scripture is no weaker than any imperial scripture. It would be their loss if I did not learn it!"

Dead Dog may seem to have given up, but that's not actually the case. Qin Sheng had already anticipated that Black Emperor would relentlessly pursue him.

Qin Sheng is willing to share knowledge with trustworthy people around him, after all, this is something that you can learn but I can't, and it's not unique.

But as I said before, we must never let those scoundrels and unscrupulous Taoist priests get away with anything easily, and we must never let them think that we are easy to talk to.

They are the most professional at taking advantage of others, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and exploiting their friends and acquaintances.

Ye Fan was overjoyed after briefly comprehending the Taiyin Ancient Scripture.

"With this, I have learned both the Yin and Yang, and the strongest scripture for cultivating the Sendai Secret Realm is ready."

“Take it easy. The difficulty of cultivating these two human mother scriptures, the Immortal Platform Scroll, is different from the Hengyu Scripture and Taihuang Scripture that you cultivated before.”

Qin Sheng warned, "Don't be too reckless, or you might ruin yourself."

"Young Ye, ruining yourself is the least of your worries. Be careful of yin-yang imbalance, or you'll explode and die." Black Emperor glanced at Ye Fan and said kindly.

"Here's what we'll do: you pass on the two ancient scriptures, Taiyin and Taiyang, to me, and I'll advise you on how to cultivate them to minimize the danger."

"You know me. I followed the Great Emperor Wushi, so my vision is beyond question. This kind of problem is a piece of cake for me."

"The dog is bragging again." The little girl laughed, her innocent words exposing the black king's lie.

If anyone else had said that, Black King would definitely be furious, but Little Nannan's words...

She's right about everything.

They chatted and laughed all the way, and soon Qin Sheng and his group encountered someone. Ye Fan exclaimed in surprise:
"It's him?"

An elderly man, who looked sickly and had gray hair, wandered among the mountains and lakes, searching for something.

When Qin Sheng and his group found the sick old man, he was standing by a lake examining a stone tablet. Then he jumped into the lake, turned it upside down, and came out after a while.

When Qin Sheng saw the sick old man, his eyes lit up.

This is the person he's looking for.

Gai Jiuyou, an unparalleled genius born in Zhongzhou more than nine thousand years ago, cultivated to the edge of achieving enlightenment despite the strongest suppression of the Azure Emperor's Great Dao, and defied the heavens to challenge for the throne.

In the end, it was a failure.

But this does not diminish Gai Jiuyou's exceptional beauty and power; he is a person who, in a normal era, truly possesses the qualities of an emperor.

"I've seen this old man before. I met him on my second visit to Qinmen. He also seemed to have gone there in search of the secret of the character '兵' (bing). " Ye Fan said, puzzled.

"He seems to be searching for the Immortal Transformation Pool now?"

The stone tablet by the lake is inscribed with three large characters, which reads "Immortal Transformation Pool". It seems that Qin Sheng and his group are lucky. They have just stepped out and encountered one of the two great lands of fortune in the Central Plains.

In reality, there are dozens or even hundreds of such "immortal pools" in the Qinling Mountains, all of which are fake and man-made.

“At such an advanced age, you should be enjoying your retirement at home. Why come out and suffer all this trouble?” Black Emperor shook his head, but then a plan came to mind.

“Immortal Qin, young Ye, this old fellow is elusive. Although he didn’t find the real Immortal Transformation Pool, he should have gained something. We should help him out.”

"We are still young, and this is precisely the time when we need opportunities!"

Qin Sheng: "..."

A little dog undergoing reconstruction dares to challenge the world and rob a super quasi-emperor who was almost enlightened?

Let the beginningless come.
