Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 431 Ziwei, a Sign of an Emperor

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, monkeys swing on vines, and their cries are constant.

This is a place of stunning scenery; if it were on Earth, it would easily be rated as a 5A-level scenic spot.

Suddenly, the void cracked open, and a vast and terrifying aura emanated from within, startling cranes into flight and causing lions and tigers to flee in terror.

A group of people fell from the void; they were Qin Sheng and his companions who had escaped from the Great Dragon of the Qinling Mountains.

"I'm leaving now, old man. Young man, be careful in everything you do in the future."

Gai Jiuyou's voice rang in Qin Sheng's ears, but the man had vanished without a trace.

The old man doesn't have much time left, so it's impossible for him to be tied to one place by anyone. Moreover, judging from his whereabouts, Old Gai has not given up on saving himself and still has the will to live.

"Where is this?" Ye Fan looked around and asked.

"It will definitely still be Zhongzhou," Qin Sheng replied.

"Hahaha." Pang Bo laughed loudly.

"That's great! Those big shots who are usually so high and mighty didn't get a single hair on their heads this time. Just thinking about their faces, like they'd been bitten by a dog, makes me feel good."

The Holy Lord of Yaoguang and the Red Dragon Taoist felt that they were being attacked.

"Woof!" Black King said with an unfriendly expression, "What's wrong with dogs? Being bitten by a dog is an honor!"

Black King strongly suspects that Pang Bo is making veiled attacks.

"Don't fight, be good, okay?" Little Nannan patted Black King's head.

"Those saints and living fossils must be furious." Little Moon revealed her tiger teeth, not bothered by the Ji family's lack of gains, as long as people were alive.

"You ruthless monster!"

Qin Sheng glanced at Ji Ziyue, "Why aren't you going with the Ji family? What are you doing with us?"

"Be careful, Ye Zi might kidnap you to the underground river again."

Ye Fan shook his head vigorously, indicating that he would definitely not do that.

The past is the past, the present is the present.

“Holy Son, you have monopolized the fortunes of the Immortal Transformation Pool and the Ancient Dragon's Lair. You will likely find yourself in a precarious position from now on,” said the Holy Lord of Yao Guang.

"The holy lands and great religions of the Big Dipper are alright, but I'm afraid the ancient races might also have designs on them," the Peacock King interjected.

The Peacock King and the Holy Lord of Yaoguang had a conflict; they had fought a great battle hundreds of years ago. However, due to Qin Sheng's presence, the past was put aside, and they would not quarrel over it.

Besides, in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, a fight is really just a minor issue.

"The Dream Essence and the Immortal Elixir are too tempting for those old guys. There must be some in the ancient clans who need these things to prolong their lives." Yao Guang Saint Lord nodded.

There are always rules among the Beidou Holy Lands. After all, they are all from the same circle and will see each other all the time. Especially among the Imperial Weapon lineages, it is impossible to go too far.

Others who want the Dream Essence and the Elixir of Immortality will mostly just try to come to the Yao Guang Holy Land and negotiate with Qin Sheng. If that fails, there's nothing they can do.

But the ancient races are different. They are completely outside the existing rules. As can be seen from the behavior of the ancient races after their birth in the original story, they are not afraid of anything at all.

Your Yao Guang Holy Land has imperial weapons, and we also have ancient imperial weapons, and more than one.

The Dream Essence that can manifest spiritual form is comparable to an elixir of immortality. This thing is enough to drive the ancestral kings of ancient races crazy, and even the Great Sages of the Primordial Era would be tempted.

"A person who isn't envied is mediocre." Qin Sheng smiled, nonchalantly.

"Only a few minor figures from the ancient clans have appeared in the world now. Anyone who dares to come, I will kill them, and even wipe out their entire clan."

The ancient tribes do not follow the rules of the Beidou Sacred Land, and conversely, Qin Sheng does not need to care about them.

"If an Ancestral King is indeed born ahead of schedule, then my Yao Guang Holy Land will not be bullied by anyone." The Yao Guang Holy Lord stated.

"Little Moon, no matter what kind of background your Ji family has, it's about time to bring it out," Qin Sheng said to Ji Ziyue.
"For example, if the imperial prince of the Ji family does not emerge again, he will probably fall behind the times."

"How would I know if there's an imperial prince in the family?" Little Moon wrinkled her nose, then said in a deliberately profound tone:
"But it doesn't matter. With the future Purple Moon Immortal here, the Ji family has nothing to worry about."

The prophet has struck.

Little Moon can at least ensure the Ji family's survival for one era, until the day Ye Fan falls first.

Qin Sheng then looked at Yan Ruyu and asked, "How are you?"

"I may need to go into seclusion for a while to digest the legacy of my ancestors." Yan Ruyu seemed to be glowing, with an unparalleled majesty faintly visible on her body. She was undergoing a transformation at every moment.

The more fundamental aspects, such as potential, foundation, lineage, and origin, are all making leaps.

When the Azure Emperor intervened and enlightened his descendants, the effect was incredibly powerful, since the demon race is ruled by bloodline.

"Immortal Qin just mentioned the Imperial Prince, Princess Yan. You won't become an Imperial Daughter later, will you?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.

"That Azure Emperor is very powerful; he gives me the feeling that my father is alive."

The Holy Prince nodded, his face full of approval, and even his gaze towards Yan Ruyu was filled with fierce fighting spirit.

However, the Holy Prince still felt that the Fighting Holy Emperor was stronger.

After all, he was only a few years old when he was sealed away, and children of that age would naturally worship their fathers unconditionally.

"The imperial princes and princesses are incredibly powerful, but sometimes that's not necessarily a good thing." Qin Sheng shook his head slightly.

If the goal is only to reach the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, then the Emperor's son will naturally enjoy all the benefits. But if he has a greater ambition, this will become a shackle.

However, this life is destined to be different. The Immortal Realm will surely open in the future, and the Immortal Path will surely appear. Problems that cannot be solved in the human realm may be easily resolved after a long period of time.

First, leverage the Emperor's bloodline to become a strong hero in this version, and then consider other options later; this might not be a bad way out.

"No matter how far we go, it's all thanks to our ancestors' kindness, and I'm already satisfied." Yan Ruyu smiled slightly, very calmly.

Then, she handed the Immortal Elixir to Qin Sheng.

"This should be yours."

If it weren't for Qin Sheng, the Immortal Elixir would never have fallen into her hands; the Azure Emperor wouldn't care about such a trivial matter.

"This item shall be shared by us," Qin Sheng promised, then continued:

"Go back to the Eastern Wilderness and go into seclusion. Let the Holy Lord and the Peacock King accompany you as escorts."

The Peacock King and the others had no objections, but the Holy Lord of Yaoguang asked:

"Holy Son, when will you return to the Holy Land?"

He couldn't wait to abdicate.

"I will stay in Zhongzhou for a while, not too long, and then I will return. We will deal with all sorts of things then." Qin Sheng's gaze fell on Yao Xi.

"Let the Holy Maiden go with the Holy Lord as well."

“I’ll also go back to the Jiang family first and wait for Brother Taixu to come out of seclusion,” Fairy Caiyun said.

"Alright, I'll go to the Jiang family soon to check on the God King's condition." Qin Sheng nodded.

The people from the Eastern Wilderness left one after another, and after a while, only Ye Fan and the others remained by Qin Sheng's side.

"Fellow Daoist, what did you obtain in the Immortal Transformation Pool?" Qin Sheng stared at Duan De, revealing a bright smile.

Seeing that Duan De looked like he had gained a lot after climbing out of the Immortal Transformation Pool, he deliberately took the immoral Taoist priest with him.

"Same as always, we'll split it in half when we meet."

“Indeed.” Ye Fan nodded and supported Duan De.

"Master, we're all brothers, you wouldn't be thinking of taking it all for yourself, would you?"

"Woof! You fatso, hand over the treasures from the Immortal Transformation Pool right now!" Black Emperor bit the wicked Taoist.

In an instant, he found himself in a dilemma.

Duan De: "..."

I was so stupid, really. I should have stayed in Ziwei. Why did I go back to Beidou?
Even if the person surnamed Qin is also in Ziwei, I only have to face him there, but after I come back, I still get bitten by dogs.

"Ugh."

Duan De sighed and took out his finds from the Immortal Transformation Pool. He discovered some Immortal Soil.

This is a rare treasure that resembles a brilliant galaxy. It is not used to cultivate spiritual roots or ancient medicines, but rather to "cultivate people".

The Flying Immortal Soil is absorbed into the sea of ​​consciousness, and the original divine consciousness is buried within it, nurtured like a spiritual root or immortal seed. When it breaks through the soil, it will be the day when the divine consciousness "ascends to immortality".

At that time, it will not only transform one's consciousness to a higher level and further align it with the heavens and earth, but also allow one to directly enter a period of enlightenment.

"Good stuff." Qin Sheng was very satisfied.

Duan De looked numb. "I gave it to you guys, you bunch of bastards. You're not human. You'll get struck by lightning sooner or later."

He was cursing under his breath, but secretly he was quite pleased.

Because at the bottom of the Immortal Transformation Pool, Dezi not only obtained the Immortal Soil, but also discovered a fragment of a mysterious artifact.

It wasn't a piece of green copper, but something else entirely. Duan De initially judged that it was very likely also a fragment of an imperial weapon.

The Immortal Transformation Pool is steeped in countless legends, and the fragments of the Imperial Weapon are one of them.

Now, by sacrificing some of the Flying Immortal Soil to preserve the fragments of the mysterious artifact, Duan De could completely accept this strategy of sacrificing the pawn to save the king.

"Fellow Daoist, you're so straightforward, could it be that you're hiding an even bigger gain?" Qin Sheng suddenly asked.

"...Are you even human? I've given you everything, and you still want to slander me?" Duan De's face turned green.

Seeing this, Qin Sheng knew what was going on; Dezi must have hidden something, but he didn't expose him.

Be a brother, in your heart.

"Brother Qin, I would like to ask you for a Dream Beast." At this moment, the Holy Prince said solemnly:
"I will do my best to fulfill any request you may have."

In truth, the Holy Prince desired the Dream Essence and the Elixir of Immortality even more, but he knew that these were beyond his means to obtain, so he had to settle for second best.

He couldn't possibly say that I was the son of an ancient emperor and that he would give me the Dream Essence.

"Has that senior still not been saved?" Qin Sheng asked.

"It's too difficult," the Holy Prince sighed.

Qin Sheng thought for a moment, then took out a small horse derived from the Dream Essence and handed it to the Holy Prince.

"Just take it and use it. I consider you a friend, so there's no need to say so much."

There are more than ten Dream Beasts in total. Giving one to the Holy Prince would not be a problem. The Fighting Holy Ape Clan is a force that can be united among the ancient clans.

Although there are only two sacred apes in the world today, namely the Holy Prince and the Fighting Holy King, the Fighting Holy King's imperial weapon—the Immortal Iron Cudgel—has also survived to this era.

If the Imperial Weapon is not lost, the Fighting Saint Ape will forever stand at the pinnacle of this world.

The Holy Prince, his face beaming with joy, carefully put the pony away. After a moment of contemplation, he said:

"Brother Qin is kind and righteous, and I cannot take advantage of you." The Holy Prince's eyes shone with golden light, and a string of law runes flew out and entered Qin Sheng's eyes.

"This is a secret technique of my Fighting Holy Ape clan, which should be helpful to Brother Qin."

"You're too kind." Monkey King was always so honest.

"Brother Qin, Brother Ye, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now..." The Holy Prince looked at Qin Sheng, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"Brother Qin, you are a formidable opponent. I will take you as my target and keep chasing after you."

"Let's learn from each other and make progress together." Qin Sheng smiled.

The golden alien race, aiming for their own goals and anticipating a future battle—why do these elements sound so familiar?

Afterwards, the Holy Prince left in a hurry, traveling a great deal.

"Brother Monkey, a dignified ancient prince, doesn't even have a single capable subordinate. He has to do everything himself. It's a bit pitiful," Pang Bo sighed.

The Holy Prince is definitely the most tragic of the ancient princes, unlike Huang Xudao and Huo Linzi, who have a large clan to rely on.

The ancient clans still respect him because of his status and bloodline, but once the Son of Heaven, this divine being, is truly born and begins to roam the world, the mentality of many ancient clans will change.

"He's the son of the Fighting Saint Emperor, destined to stand at the pinnacle of the universe. It's none of your business to worry about him," Duan De said sarcastically.

Pang Bo pondered, "That's true. With a monthly salary of three thousand, it doesn't seem reasonable for me to worry about how a prince is doing."

"That's not how it works. We're all friends. The Holy Prince is all alone in this era; it must be a terrible feeling for him." Ye Fan shook his head.

He felt extremely tormented even though he was only separated from his hometown by space. The Holy Prince was separated from the ancient times by an indelible distance of time.

"Woof! Immortal Qin, give me a Dream Beast to taste, or you can give me the Undying Pill." Black Emperor stuck out his tongue, looking very drooling.

“That’s right, we’ll share it in half when we meet!” Duan De also stepped forward. He had been caught in the rain, so he was going to tear up someone else’s umbrella.

"To be honest, as a complete bystander, I don't think there's any reason to award points," Ye Fan said, speaking up for fairness.

"Woof! Ye boy, do you have any backbone?" Black Emperor said discontentedly.

"Doggy, you can't talk about your brother like that," the little girl chimed in, trying to uphold justice.

Black Emperor was deflated. Dead Dog and Duan De exchanged a glance, filled with hatred.

The two of them figured out why, in the group of the Four Heroes of the Heavens, the "Taoist Dog" always lost when facing the "Immortal Saint".

Because the latter are truly united, of one heart, and do not harbor any ulterior motives, but what about Duan De and Hei Huang?
Even if it means mutual destruction, we must never let the other side get away with it.

I would rather give it to Qin Sheng than to Duan De/Black Emperor.

"This kind of thing is a life-saving treasure. It would be a waste to use it up so casually," Qin Sheng said, presenting the facts and reasoning with the audience.

"Furthermore, I promised Fairy Caiyun that if the God King were to encounter any problems, I would use the divine essence to save him, so I must leave it behind."

The Dream Essence is something that can be effective even against experts of Gai Jiuyou's level. If used properly, it could save at least a Great Sage, if not a Quasi-Emperor.

For the Black Emperor?
What's the difference between that and Pigsy eating ginseng fruit?

"We should be cautious," Ye Fan agreed wholeheartedly.

He doesn't misuse the immortality elixir or medicinal liquid he possesses; they can save lives in critical moments.

"Immortal Qin, you're really too freakish!" Pang Bo looked incredulous.

“When you left, I was already in the Dragon Transformation Realm. Now I’m only at the eighth stage of Dragon Transformation, but you’ve already broken through from the second stage of Immortal to the third stage of Immortal Severing the Dao.”

"This really leaves no way for people to survive."

Isn't it true that the higher the realm, the more difficult and slower the cultivation becomes? Yet, powerful beings cultivate faster than dragons, which is outrageous.

"In our hometown, the Purple Star (Ziwei) is a sign of imperial power," Pang Bo added with a smile.

"With this trip and return, Qin Xianren has truly become an emperor."

"He's really not human." Ji Ziyue openly slandered him.

"When you get back, remember to comfort Big Moon and tell him not to give up and to keep trying," Qin Sheng said with a smile.
"To be honest, I have high hopes for your brother. He has the demeanor of an emperor at such a young age and will achieve great things in the future."

"How could I dare mention you to my brother? He probably won't say a word to me now." Little Moon looked worried.

Two years after the Great Demon King Qin left, with no one to suppress the prodigies of the Big Dipper, everyone finally regained some confidence, and all creatures competed freely under the frosty sky.

Now that Dongxian has returned with his Dao-severing body, once the news spreads, it will terrify those geniuses.

Ji Ziyue didn't even dare to imagine what her brother was feeling right now. She hoped he could be strong and understand a certain principle.

Humans cannot defeat immortals.

Ji Ziyue muttered to herself, then asked with great curiosity, "Great Demon Lord, after you, Senior Caiyun... and your bird went to Ziwei, you all severed your Dao."

"What exactly does Ziwei look like? Is it really that magical?"

It wasn't just Little Moon; many people at the Immortal Transformation Pool shared similar thoughts.

Is it really that easy to sever the Dao in Ziwei? Are there opportunities to sever the Dao everywhere? Or has the Great Dao of the Azure Emperor completely dissipated there, and the world has been completely revived?

Otherwise, it would be one thing if one person were to be slain, but if two or three were to be slain like this, it wouldn't make sense.

“Ziwei…” Qin Sheng’s face showed a look of reminiscence.

"That place is a sacred land with a lineage that has been passed down for millions of years, ancient scriptures left by gods, and even saints and quasi-emperors. It is extremely terrifying."

"I also went through many hardships in Ziwei. I experienced one great battle, one fierce battle, and one bloody battle. I survived only by my own efforts and a bit of luck."

Ye Fan: "..."

That's not what you and I said.

"Wow, Ziwei is that scary? No wonder it's an ancient star that has given birth to more than one great emperor." Little Moon's mouth dropped open.

The family's ancient records are correct; the outer space is indeed extremely dangerous!

"Don't listen to his nonsense." Duan De rolled his eyes.

"Who marched from the north to the east of Ziwei, killing hundreds of powerful figures? Who nearly wiped out all the prominent Great Completion Kings of Ziwei? And who destroyed the clans and major sects, including the Taiyin Divine Sect?"

"It's me," Qin Sheng admitted frankly.

"But that's just how the world is, not my intention."

It was all the ruthless will that controlled my body. I was forced into it. Didn't you see that Qin Sheng became much more peaceful after returning to Beidou?

Ji Ziyue was shocked. "Great Demon Lord, you were so ruthless in Ziwei? You really are a demon lord. I didn't call you that wrong. Even those who cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art are probably not as ruthless as you!"

The Devouring Heaven Demon Art doesn't kill indiscriminately, since it doesn't need mortal bodies or origins, while most cultivators in the world are mortal.

"Immortal Qin, where to next?" Ye Fan asked casually.

“Go back to Qishi’s residence.”

The Sun God Chariot pierced the sky and headed towards Qishi Mansion, but it wasn't going fast because Qin Sheng deliberately slowed down Jin Shanshan.

He wanted to let the bullets fly for a while.

As the experts from various regions left the Qinling Mountains and returned to their respective homes, news of the events at the Immortal Transformation Pool spread throughout all sects and regions in no time.

The world was completely dumbfounded when it heard this.

What do you mean by "Tosen didn't die"?

What does it mean to say that a "great emperor" died?
What does it mean that the Azure Emperor designated Dongxian as the next Great Emperor?
When many news stories were first heard, some people couldn't believe them at all, thinking they were fake. Only after repeatedly confirming that they were true did the world fall silent, and then a huge uproar ensued.

An immortal emperor is born in the Central Plains, the Azure Emperor's murderous intent manifests, and six supreme imperial weapons confront each other...

Each of these events, taken individually, would be earth-shattering; now, they've all appeared together, leaving one overwhelmed and feeling like there's simply not enough time to keep up.

"You're only telling me now that Zhongzhou was almost destroyed in the Great Emperor's War and the Imperial Weapon War? I almost died?"

"A holy spirit actually existed in the ancient dragon's lair. Such beings are born of nature and can rival the Great Emperor after they are born in their full potential. Unfortunately, they died at the hands of the Azure Emperor."

“There is nothing to regret. Since ancient times, whenever a holy spirit is born, it will inevitably bring great disaster and cause great suffering to the people. The Green Emperor did a good job.”

"A single murderous thought can slay a Holy Spirit. Just how powerful was the Azure Emperor at his peak? It was a great regret to miss the Demon Emperor's Tomb back then."

"With the help of the Azure Emperor, some speculate that the demon princess may very well become an unconventional imperial princess!"

The reappearance of the demon emperor who had been dead for ten thousand years has reminded the world of his former glory.

Sweeping across the heavens and earth, reigning supreme above and below, with no equal in the world!
At this momentous time, Dongxian's return and his ascension to kingship are undoubtedly the most eye-catching events.

It's not that Qin Sheng is more powerful than the Azure Emperor or the Immortal Emperor; it's just that both of them have passed away and it's impossible for them to make any further moves.

The ultimate imperial weapon, on the other hand, has always existed, neither decreasing nor increasing, and has appeared quite frequently in recent years. Over time, everyone has become somewhat accustomed to it.

But Qin Sheng's return as a king is closely related to everyone, because it affects the entire Beidou system and even this era!
"How long has Dongxian been cultivating? He has already reached this level. It's simply unbelievable."

"Even the Azure Emperor praised him, saying that who else but Dong Xian could hold the position of the Great Emperor of this era?"

"Even the almost saintly Yuan Tian Master monster is no match for Dong Xian. His combat power has reached an unfathomable level. Without a saint, Dong Xian is invincible."

"All the geniuses of this generation have been completely outpaced by Tosen, and it's hard to imagine how they can catch up."

"Can the help that extraterrestrial space provide to humans be so immense?"

"The Immortal Elixir, the Dream Essence, and fragments of the Central Plains Treasures have all fallen into Dong Xian's hands, which greatly increases his chances of attaining enlightenment."

"After leaving the Immortal Transformation Pool, Zhonghuang Nanyao and the others have remained in their cave and have not come out. They are probably in despair."

Everyone was talking about this, and Qin Sheng's name became the most frequently mentioned word.

It's important to know that before this major battle, Beidou didn't have a single top-tier player on the surface.

Qin Sheng was a pioneer in this regard.

"The Yao Guang Holy Land is about to rise to great heights. With a king and saint wielding a black gold cauldron with dragon patterns, how many forces can withstand it?"

"Useless! The people of Ziwei Ancient Star are all useless! Why didn't they use imperial weapons to keep Dongxian there!"

"The path to becoming an emperor shouldn't be like this. It should be a fierce battle where everyone fights to the death, entangled from the Four Extremes Realm all the way to the Saint Realm, with each side having its victories and defeats. Is Dongxian trying to destroy the Big Dipper?"

"Do you think it's possible that Dongxian's rapid cultivation is actually depleting his potential, and that he will eventually stagnate at a certain level? There have been such cases in history."

"..."

As the storm swept across the Big Dipper, Qin Sheng leisurely returned to Qishi Mansion.

Now everyone should know that I have severed my path, right?

Sigh, the thought of returning to Qishi Mansion and facing the admiring and awe-inspiring gazes of all sorts of geniuses still fills me with some annoyance.

I had no intention of vying for power, but alas, there are no heroes in this world.

(P.S.: Here's my 10,000-word post. That's all for today. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year, good health, and a fulfilling life.)
