Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 423 I am just an old man, I don't have that much power.
Gai Jiuyou now has strong suspicions about whether Qin Sheng went to Ziwei to escort Fairy Caiyun to sever her Dao, or whether the Yao Guang Holy Land secretly reached some kind of plan with the Jiang family to jointly invade and harvest a wave of Ziwei.

The suppression of the Azure Emperor's Great Dao will dissipate, and a new era is about to begin. Events that were rarely seen in the past, such as the extinction of races and the destruction of holy lands, will all happen in the future.

At this juncture, it doesn't seem impossible to harvest resources from other ancient stars to enhance the foundation of one's own holy land.

Given the circumstances of Yao Guang and the Jiang family, they could indeed accomplish such a thing by joining forces.

Otherwise, where did these great holy weapons come from? Were they gifts from the overly hospitable cultivators of Ziwei?
Why don't you send me a few items? Do you think I'm old and frail?
"Shouldn't these be the most treasured artifacts of the Ziwei Sect? How did they end up in your hands?"

Qin Sheng answered frankly: "In a life-or-death battle, the winner gets everything, and I can't possibly return these things to the enemy for free."

"These are all spoils of war that my big brother worked so hard to obtain!" the little girl said.

"There were more, but my older brother redeemed one for a merchant guild and left one for Sister Qinghong."

Qin Sheng did indeed leave Qinghong Fairy a sacred weapon, so that she would not be without a suitable weapon and be suppressed by others with weapons.

"Senior, these sacred weapons are not very obedient and refuse to be used by me, so I would like to ask you to take action, shatter them, and then refine their essence into my divine chariot and other weapons to help them achieve sublimation," Qin Sheng explained his request.

"However, there is no need to destroy the Changsheng Taoist Temple. I have high hopes for it and believe it is qualified to become my Taoist temple."

Gai Jiuyou gave Qin Sheng a strange look. "Is a Great Saint Soldier qualified to become your training ground?"

Their pomp and circumstance are even grander than mine, this old man who's nine thousand years old.

"Senior, you can talk to the deity of the Taoist temple and see if He is willing to submit. If He is, then leave shackles to prevent Him from turning against me."

“I’m not willing… but the vessel from the Changsheng Taoist Temple is barely enough for me.”

It doesn't matter if I can't win your heart, as long as I have you in person, Qin Sheng doesn't need the Changsheng Temple to fight enemies anyway.

As long as it looks impressive, that's fine.

Gai Jiuyou's gaze swept over the weapons, including the Black-Winged Golden Halberd, with a hint of helplessness.

"You overestimate me. At my age, how could I possibly have the strength to deal with a Great Saint Weapon? When faced with a fatal threat, the Weapon God will fully awaken, which is equivalent to an attack from a Great Saint."

"Senior, you are too modest. You are not even afraid of the Azure Emperor, let alone a few holy weapons?" Qin Sheng laughed.

“I know the gap between the Great Sage and your level. Even a hundred or a thousand living Great Sages couldn’t withstand a single blow from you.”

Gai Jiuyou became accustomed to keeping a low profile after being severely defeated by the Azure Emperor's Great Dao.

If anyone actually believes him and thinks they can take advantage of his old age and weakness, then they should prepare themselves and strive to bloom a similar flower in the future.

In terms of cultivation, Gai Jiuyou can be said to be infinitely close to becoming a Great Emperor.

“I am already nine thousand years old, and I don’t care about empty fame. You don’t need to flatter me, kid.” Gai Jiuyou finally nodded.

"I promise you."

He also possessed the "Secret of the Soldier" technique. In the original storyline, he used this secret to secretly interfere with the Emperor Weapon at the Immortal Transformation Pool, helping Ye Fan. This shows Gai Jiuyou's caring attitude towards young juniors like Ye Fan.

Given Qin Sheng's current situation, his willingness to offer the "Zhe" secret meant that Gai Jiuyou had no reason to refuse.

With the power of the "Soldier" secret technique that can influence imperial weapons, plus Lao Gai's cultivation, even without using his full strength, dealing with several great saint weapons would be effortless.

"Senior, you are truly virtuous!" Qin Sheng exclaimed with joy. He took out the Ancient Divine Scripture and secretly gave the character "者" to Gai Jiuyou for observation.

Gai Jiuyou's eyes shone with divine light, seeing through appearances and discerning the chains of divine order within this page of the ancient scripture. He quickly learned this secret.

"The secret of the character '者'... truly a method of immortality, it is truly profound."

Each of the Nine Secret Techniques is a powerful secret art that remains effective even at the Quasi-Emperor level, and for the vast majority of people, it will never become outdated.

Especially the healing secret technique of the character "者".

"Will it be helpful for your situation, senior?" Qin Sheng asked.

"Yes, but not much. Besides, I'm getting old," Gai Jiuyou admitted frankly.

"Breaking through to the Azure Emperor Dao is no easy task. I'm lucky to have survived this long."

"Could it be that you, senior, have taken the elixir of immortality?" Qin Sheng guessed.

“No.” Gai Jiuyou shook his head.

"The elixir of immortality only exists in forbidden zones of life; it cannot be found anywhere else. Given my condition, it is not suitable for me to go there."

"That's true. Senior is too strong. Entering the forbidden area might really cause some trouble."

In Beidou, the forbidden zone of life is a place that the weak can enter, and the middle level can also go there, but the stronger they are, the more they are wary of it and will not cross the line casually.

Extraterrestrial, unsophisticated powerhouses are excluded.

The immortal elixir in the forbidden zone is considered by the supreme beings to be their own possession. As for special immortal elixirs like the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, it's fine to get some tea leaves, but if you want to pack them up and take them away, that would be breaking a taboo.

The Supreme Beings do not lack power beyond themselves.

For example, on Mount Undying, there is a powerful knight on patrol.

"But since you didn't take the elixir of immortality, how did you resolve the calamity after being backfired by the Azure Emperor's Great Dao?" Qin Sheng was very curious about this question.

"I obtained a top-grade Dream Essence."

Gai Jiuyou recounted the past, "This thing is said to be comparable to the elixir of immortality. Although its actual effect is still somewhat inferior, it has barely allowed me to survive until today."

"I see."

Qin Sheng understood; yes, only the Dream Essence was possible.

The effects of four and a half divine herbs are barely comparable to those of divine herbs. The Dream Essence is on par with divine herbs, so its medicinal power is definitely stronger than that of one or two and a half divine herbs.

With top-tier divine essence, coupled with Gai Jiuyou's own methods, and perhaps other assistance, it's reasonable that he could survive to this day in a wounded state.

"Your luck is profound, but unfortunately you're just a little short," Qin Sheng lamented.

Gai Jiuyou's situation after failing to attain enlightenment is actually somewhat similar to that of the Fighting Saint Emperor. The Saint Emperor's first life had major problems, and his own condition did not support him to make the ultimate leap and achieve the ultimate sublimation.

Only after taking the elixir of immortality, which eliminated all injuries and hidden dangers, was he able to take that step smoothly.

The price to pay for this is that the Fighting Saint Emperor only has one reign and cannot use the divine medicine to start a second one.

He was one of the shortest-lived emperors among the ancient emperors.

If Gai Jiuyou could also take the elixir of immortality, there would be no reason for him to be in this state; he would have already returned to normal long ago.

The effects of the elixir of immortality are beyond question; it is the strongest support item in the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

Unless it's like the Void Emperor's situation, where his Imperial Dao Origin was severely and continuously depleted, most other injuries can be healed.

"It's all about timing and fate." Gai Jiuyou seemed to have come to terms with it, and remained very calm.

"I possess the Nine Wonders Immortal Elixir Fruit and the elixir of the True Dragon Divine Medicine. Would they be of any use to you, senior?"

"Unless it's the complete elixir of immortality, even obtaining the Dream Essence will be of no use," Gai Jiuyou sighed softly.

"Old ailments and lifespan cannot be solved by divine medicine; one must live another life to be reborn."

The Nine Thousand Year Old has truly reached his end; only elixirs of immortality and Nine-Turn Immortal Pills can solve his problem.

Qin Sheng had some thoughts in mind, so he didn't mention the matter again.

"The ancient dragon's lair must have been nurtured by the essence of dreams. After so many years, it is possible that it could even transform into a holy spirit. If there is no murderous intent from the Azure Emperor, whether the emergence of these two treasure lands will be a blessing or a curse remains to be seen."

Gai Jiuyou arrived at the lake where the woman who loved the emperor committed suicide and gazed at the place.

Upon hearing this, Qin Sheng suddenly understood. No wonder in the original story, Gai Jiuyou only searched for the Immortal Transformation Pool and not the Ancient Dragon's Lair. After the Dreamlike Essence of the Dragon's Lair was revealed, he did not come forward to take it.

Qin Sheng now understood why, because it was no longer useful to Gai Jiuyou.

"I believe in the power of the Azure Emperor's killing intent." Qin Sheng said calmly. "As long as the true Great Emperor doesn't appear, the Azure Emperor's killing intent is invincible."

“Yes, the Azure Emperor is invincible…” Gai Jiuyou asked again:
Are you interested in the essence of dreams?

Fairy Caiyun listened attentively. She felt that if Jiang Taixu failed in his transformation, the Dream Essence might be able to save his life.

But she also knew that if she wanted to use the divine essence to help Jiang Taixu transform, it would only harm him.

The God-King cannot rely on external means to take this step.

"I once extracted a small amount of Celestial Essence from Originium, so I am familiar with the Dream Essence..."

Qin Sheng paused for a moment, then said, "Of course I'm interested too."

After all, who would complain about having too many good things in their life?
Moreover, the Essence of Heaven is comparable to the Divine Essence of Dreams, an alternative kind of Divine Essence.

In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, words like "comparable" and "challenging" are essentially inferior; they just sound nicer.

"Then take it. With your strength, no one can compete with you."

Gai Jiuyou generously relinquished the immense opportunity of the ancient dragon's lair to Qin Sheng.

"I won't stand on ceremony with you, senior."

"I can tell you're not exactly a polite person either." Gai Jiuyou was an old and shrewd man, and after their conversation, he had already gained some understanding of Dongxian.

"Are you really going to let the Holy Body go looking for the Immortal Transformation Pool? What if he can't find it?"

"Senior Gai, you underestimate Ye Zi. He is no ordinary person. He has no shortage of talent, perseverance, and luck." Qin Sheng had more confidence in Master Ye than in the Azure Emperor's murderous intent.

"There has never been a person who attained enlightenment with the Holy Body throughout history. I believe that Ye Zi can fill this gap."

"Oh?" Gai Jiuyou was genuinely surprised.

"You actually think highly of him?"

"Of course, I even believe that if he can break free of the shackles of the Holy Body and attain enlightenment, then he has a chance to become an immortal."

"But if he becomes emperor, then you will no longer have a place."

"It doesn't matter. I will achieve enlightenment before him, and then let Ye Zi challenge for the throne in an era where there is an emperor."

Once Qin Sheng becomes an emperor, he will definitely be a super heavenly emperor. It will be easy for him to restrain his own Great Dao and not suppress those who come after him. At that time, the Great Emperor Dao Principles that would hinder Ye Fan's path to enlightenment will not be his.

Ye Fan, suffer a little more; let the old Golden Crow bear the infamy.

Gai Jiuyou: "..."

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Dongxian and Shengti were true brothers or had already drifted apart.

Why should the Holy Body be bound by physical limitations, and why should the current emperor be allowed to attain enlightenment?
Gai Jiuyou felt that suicide would be much more painful.

Also, are you sure this isn't a veiled criticism of me, an old man?
"It seems I'm really getting old; I can't understand what you young people are thinking at all."

Gai Jiuyou led Qin Sheng and the others away, saying, "Let's go, I'll forge these weapons for you."

"Just pretend I'm talking nonsense, anyway, Ye Zi is guaranteed to achieve the Great Saint Body and challenge the Emperor."

Although it was true, it still stung Gai Jiuyou.

That's way too safe!
Are there any fighting styles that are less dependent on physical constitution?

Gai Jiuyou found a Nine Fire Dragon Cave, which, with the help of the terrain, would greatly assist the advancement of artifacts such as the Sun Chariot.

"Which sacred weapon should we forge first?" he asked Qin Sheng for his opinion.

Qin Sheng's gaze shifted, and finally he found his target.

First, there is the Golden Crow Clan's sacred weapon, the Black-Winged Golden Halberd, who committed the sin of arrogance!

"it is good."

Without hesitation, Gai Jiuyou stretched out his aged hand and slapped the Golden Crow Great Sacred Weapon. The next second, a mournful cry rang out, the Golden Crow Halberd shattered, and the Golden Crow Immortal Essence was condensed and injected into the Sun Chariot.

The scene was dazzling with gold and silver, and Fairy Caiyun and her companions were shocked.

Didn't you just say that you're too old and don't have the strength to deal with the fully resurrected Great Sage Army?

So you're not even giving them a chance to recover, are you?
"Senior is awesome!" Qin Sheng praised. Indeed, seeking out Old Gai was the right decision.

If I can't handle you lump-of-metals, how can a quasi-emperor not?

"My old bones are going to suffer today," Gai Jiuyou said, without even panting.

He also knows the "Secret of Soldiers," which is not only about controlling soldiers, but also a supreme immortal technique for forging weapons.

Now, nourished by the essence of the Black-Winged Golden Halberd and tempered by Gai Jiuyou, the essence of the Sun Chariot begins to leap forward.

Since it wasn't Qin Sheng's natal weapon and was an external object, it didn't matter if someone else forged it for him.

"Senior, Xia Jiuyou is your disciple, right?" Qin Sheng asked casually.

"Hmm." Old Gai's eyes softened when he spoke of Xia Jiuyou.

"She is a stubborn and strong-willed child. If she has offended you in any way before, please forgive her."

"I have never dealt with Miss Xia before. After all, my previous opponents were the Northern Emperor and various holy lords."

Gai Jiuyou was speechless, but had no way to refute it.

When Qin Sheng was famous throughout the world, Xia Jiuyou was only at the Four Extremes Secret Realm, and as everyone knows, Dongxian was a mortal.

Therefore, Xia Jiuyou would not target him.

As for the minor conflict between Ye Fan and Xia Jiuyou, the former did not care.

When the two sides were dealing with each other, Old Gai's disciple was still in junior high school age on Earth, while Master Ye was mentally over thirty and wouldn't stoop to the level of such a brat.

"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will look after Miss Xia," Qin Sheng promised.

Gai Jiuyou nodded, thinking that this was also a good thing.

"Senior, that black dog just now reminded me of something. Don't you find it strange?"

"What's the matter?"

"The Azure Emperor successfully transformed into human form 30,000 years ago, left the Immortal Transformation Pool to travel the world, and was later hunted down by the major sects of the Central Plains to the Eastern Wilderness..."

At this point, Qin Sheng looked uneasy.

For the past ten thousand years, the beings of the Big Dipper have frequently attacked the tomb of the Great Emperor, and the Azure Emperor bears the primary responsibility for this.

"He passed away ten thousand years ago, which seems to mean he lived two lives, but the Azure Emperor was the embodiment of the immortal elixir. How could his imperial life be limited to only ten thousand years?"

Master Ye's first life lasted 26,000 years, and the Azure Emperor's lifespan will only be longer, not shorter.

Throughout the ancient and chaotic periods, people in vegetative states were the most resilient to life.

Gai Jiuyou's eyes were as deep as the universe when he heard the question.

"The Heavenly Heart Mark is indeed unclaimed."

"Yes, from this perspective, the Azure Emperor is probably really dead," Qin Sheng sighed.

The Azure Emperor lived in a daze in the desolate tower, his unusual old age was ominous, and it was impossible to pull him out. Otherwise, Qin Sheng would have wanted to take care of the Azure Emperor in his old age.

After all, among the great emperors of the post-ancient era, the one he admired most was the Azure Emperor.
