Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 437 The Overlord Among Monks
Day three.

Qin Sheng, who was cultivating, felt a sense of life and looked at the ground in front of him. Two lines of glowing characters slowly appeared.

"The second cycle has begun."

"Please be mentally prepared, as you will not be informed in advance when the cycle of reincarnation begins; you will be directly pulled in."

Once Qin Sheng had seen it clearly, the writing immediately disappeared, as if it had never appeared. He remained calm and showed no panic.

"It's almost time."

A moment later, hurried footsteps sounded from outside, and Jiang Zhiwei rushed in with a serious expression.

"Junior Uncle, did you see that notification? There's a new reincarnation quest!"

Nothing has happened in the past month, and Xiao Jiang has also thought that perhaps the Six Paths of Reincarnation has forgotten about her.

But what was bound to happen has finally happened; it wasn't just a figment of my imagination.

"Yes." Qin Sheng nodded, reassuring Jiang Zhiwei.

"Don't worry, now that you've opened four of your acupoints, your strength has greatly increased. No matter what mission you face, you'll definitely come back alive."

The purpose of the repeated reincarnation missions is to select geniuses and eliminate mediocre ones. As long as you perform well enough, you will not fall into the killing line until you have the idea of ​​escaping the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Among the new generation in the real world, there are few who are more outstanding than Jiang Zhiwei.

Talented people can survive, strong people can survive, and even those with good luck can survive. Of course, the least likely to die are people like Meng Qi who have connections.

"I hope so." Jiang Zhiwei gripped the sword in her hand tightly.

"Although the master of the Hidden Emperor's Fortress last time wasn't so strong that he was difficult to deal with, the cycle of reincarnation missions should become more and more difficult as they go on. I wonder what the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation will ask us to do this time."

Jiang Zhiwei is a newcomer to the cycle of reincarnation, but with a little thought, she can tell that the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation would not make their mission easier or easier.

The first time, Liudao made it very clear that there were endless dangers there.

"Where there's a will, there's a way; even where there's no way, we can move mountains." Qin Sheng smiled.

He already had a premonition of what this reincarnation mission would be.

While Qin Sheng's involvement and Qi Xia's survival might lead to changes in subsequent reincarnation missions, resulting in a storyline quite different from the original, such changes will definitely not occur in this mission.

Meng Qi's team's second mission was arranged by the Demon Buddha. In order to guide the young monk onto the path He had envisioned, He would not change His plan.

"You're right." Jiang Zhiwei relaxed a bit, then, as if remembering something, she looked at Qin Sheng and said earnestly:

"Junior Uncle, your cultivation is still too low. In the cycle of reincarnation, we will try our best to stay together. I will protect you."

Last time, she was the one who took Qin Sheng on the mission, and for that, she left Meng Qi in Qi Xia's care. Now that Qin Sheng has become her senior uncle, Jiang Zhiwei is even less likely to abandon him.

As everyone knows, Qin Sheng's swordsmanship is outstanding, but Jiang Zhiwei is well aware that while skill can indeed determine victory or defeat when the difference in basic cultivation levels is not significant, once the difference in realms is too great, it is difficult to make up for the lack of skill with strength.

No matter how superb a martial artist's swordsmanship is during the Qi Accumulation stage, they can never be a match for a martial artist at the peak of the Qi Opening stage.

When Xiao Jiang sparred with Qin Sheng, he never used his true energy, for fear of accidentally hurting his fragile junior uncle.

Jiang Zhiwei, at the level of four apertures, is no match for ordinary martial arts practitioners with six or seven apertures. If she fights for her life, she can even kill someone with eight apertures. She is a master at fighting beyond her level.

Xiao Jiang felt that her strength was superior to that of her junior uncle, after all, she was sixteen years old!
"Then I entrust my life to you." Qin Sheng had no objections.

This cycle of reincarnation missions is something you can just coast through, get through one round at a time. The Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation won't pass the throne to him, so there's no need to be so dedicated.

Every time you take a break and wait for the mission to end, you can sell some "junk" to Liudao and exchange it for some treasures. Isn't that a wonderful thing?

Jiang Zhiwei didn't speak again, quietly waiting to be pulled into the reincarnation space. She felt a little nervous and worried, not for herself, but for Qin Sheng.

“Junior Uncle’s cultivation level is too low. If he encounters an unexpected danger, I may not be able to take care of him.”

"The Hidden Emperor Fortress Master of the first reincarnation mission was far more powerful than us, and the opponents later on will certainly not be weak either. If I fail to bring my junior uncle back safely, how am I supposed to explain this to my master?"

Junior apprentice Jiang was in a state of utter confusion.

Junior Uncle is so weak, yet he has to suffer the torment of being burned by ten thousand flames. How can he survive in the endless cycle of missions?

Oh no! I'm with my junior uncle right now. If he dies on this mission, he'll just be a corpse when we return. How am I supposed to explain all this to my master?
Did I kill my junior uncle?

It seems like no one would believe it if I said no. Two people were in the same room, and one of them suddenly died. No matter how you look at it, the murderer must be the other person.

Shocking! Jiang Zhiwei, a disciple of the Sword Washing Pavilion, murdered her own master's uncle in a secret chamber...

I don't want that kind of thing!

Junior Nephew Jiang was absolutely determined to protect his junior uncle at all costs.

As Jiang Zhiwei's mind was racing, the two of them suddenly found themselves in the white marble plaza of the Reincarnation Space, their vision going black and then bright again.

Compared to last time, nothing has changed here. The place is shrouded in mist, and the statues of celestial birds and mythical beasts stand tall and sacred in the fog.

Meng Qi, Qi Zhengyan, Zhang Yuanshan, and Qi Xia also arrived.

"We've come here again," Zhang Yuanshan sighed.

In fact, although the Six Paths of Reincarnation Space is full of endless opportunities and is very tempting, for these direct descendants of major sects, they can also reach the pinnacle of the martial arts world by cultivating step by step.

Moreover, they also bear the expectations of their sect and the future of their family; it would be too dangerous for them to sink into the cycle of reincarnation.

If given a choice, they would rather give up the opportunities here and leave.

Only ordinary people have to risk their lives to succeed; the heirs only need to follow the arrangements of their elders to reach a position that others cannot achieve even with their best efforts.

“Junior Brother Qingjing is dead. Junior Brother Qin, did Junior Sister Jiang tell you about this?” Zhang Yuanshan continued.

"I've already said it, Qingjing is too reckless. Sometimes, personality determines a person's fate," Qin Sheng commented.

Meng Qi nodded subconsciously; he was familiar with those words.

Qi Xia looked both frightened and relieved. She said, "Actually, I also thought about telling my father and the others about what happened here, for example, under the protection of the Great River Gang's divine weapon, the Overturning River and Overturning Sea Cudgel."

"Junior Brother Qingjing's death brought me to my senses."

In the original timeline, Qingjing died directly in the cycle of reincarnation. When the Xuantian Sect demanded an explanation from the Shaolin Temple, Qi Xia stepped forward, ready to expose the real culprit, but was then eliminated.

She narrowly escaped this time.

"It's best if we don't disobey the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation," Meng Qi reminded him. Apart from Qin Sheng, he was the one who could accept and adapt to this place the most.

This is the "Main God Space," and even if we were to go against it, it's not something we should be doing right now.

Listen to this advice from a "veteran": the waters of the Main God Space are very deep, and you can't handle them.

"Brother Qin, after you returned from the Samsara Space last time, did anything unusual happen to you or your surroundings?" Meng Qi asked again.

“I have a small jade Buddha that I always carry with me. It was fine before, but when I came back, I found that it was cracked.”

Meng Qi said solemnly, "I suspect this may be related to my entering the cycle of reincarnation."

Your suspicions are valid.

“I haven’t experienced that,” Qi Xia shook her head, and Zhang Yuanshan and the others echoed her sentiment.

"Am I the only one who has had this experience?" Meng Qi wondered. Was this a special characteristic of transmigrators?

"Little monk, you seem a bit like the protagonist in a storybook," Qin Sheng said in a serious tone.

"He started as a handyman at Shaolin Temple, entered the cycle of reincarnation to change his fate, and possesses this unique and extraordinary quality."

"I can already foresee the day when you will dominate the world of reincarnation, become famous in the real world, and eventually become the abbot of Shaolin."

Meng Qi's expression froze as various novel plots he had read before his transmigration surfaced in his mind, making him feel somewhat disheartened.

The shattering of the small jade Buddha is probably not a simple matter.

"Perhaps I'll return to secular life in the future," Meng Qi said jokingly, revealing his true thoughts.

"You're no longer a menial monk, but a martial monk now, right?" Qin Sheng asked.

"Yes, it's all thanks to Miss Jiang and Senior Brother Zhang who praised me in front of the elders at Shaolin Temple before I left, which gave me the opportunity to enter the Martial Monks Academy," Meng Qi exclaimed.

“It has been many years since any handyman monk has achieved such a promotion. My junior brother Zhenhui and I are exceptions.”

Thinking of the envious looks those menial monks had given him, he felt incredibly lucky.

"Then you can forget about leaving the monastic life. Shaolin monks, unless they commit a serious crime and have their martial arts revoked and be expelled from the sect, must remain in Shaolin Temple for life." Qin Sheng shook his head.

"Once a monk, always a monk."

Meng Qi: "..." He looked at the others in disbelief, even the taciturn Qi Zhengyan nodded and said:
"There is indeed no such thing as returning to secular life at Shaolin Temple."

No! I'm still thinking about getting married!
Why am I so unlucky?

Seeing the change in Meng Qi's expression, Zhang Yuanshan and the others could easily tell that the little monk didn't want to be a monk.

"Actually, there is still a chance," Qin Sheng suggested.

"As long as you continue to cultivate and become the most powerful monk, you will have hope of leaving Shaolin Temple."

Meng Qi's eyes gleamed with hope, "The overlord among monks, what is that?"

"Of course, he's still a monk." Qin Sheng looked at Meng Qi strangely; wasn't this the obvious answer?

"Once you become the abbot of Shaolin, you can change the temple rules and then return to secular life. At that time, you will surely become a legend."

Meng Qi petrified, and the Shaolin abbot returned to secular life?
How is this any different from the emperor rebelling against himself?
"If we're talking about legends, in the martial arts world of the Great Jin and even the Northern Zhou, there's probably no one more legendary than Senior Su of the Sword Washing Pavilion," Qi Xia said with a smile.

"After three years of seclusion during the Enlightenment stage, one can ascend to the Outer Realm in one step, reaching a new level each year. After nine years, one can cross three heavenly ladders and enter the Half-Step Dharma Body Realm, ranking first on the Earth Ranking. Even the senior Shoujing of the Xuantian Sect, a direct descendant of the Heavenly Emperor, is no match for him."

"What are the Heaven, Earth, and Man lists?" Meng Qi asked curiously.

Zhang Yuanshan explained it to him, and then the little monk looked amazed.

The powerful masters on the Heavenly Ranking are rarely seen and almost never leave the mortal world, while the experts on the Earthly Ranking are the true rulers of this martial arts world.

The number one on the Earth Ranking is, in a sense, the strongest person in the secular world, because he is a high-ranking immortal and is also known as a person among immortals and gods.

He cultivated to become the number one in the secular world in just over ten years. That Su Wuming was the protagonist of the previous generation!

"Senior Su is a role model for all martial arts practitioners." Qi Zhengyan's eyes also showed admiration.

He felt that if he could achieve even one percent of Su Wuming's success in his entire life, it would be like his ancestors' graves were emitting auspicious smoke.

"Indeed, Senior Brother is exceptionally talented and will surely lead our Sword Washing Pavilion to glory." Qin Sheng wholeheartedly agreed.

“Um, Senior Brother Su…” Zhang Yuanshan’s words trailed off. He looked at Qin Sheng and asked in confusion:

"Junior Brother Qin, what did you address Senior Su just now?"

"Senior brother," Qin Sheng replied with a smile.

"To be honest, after the last reincarnation mission ended, I joined the Sword Washing Pavilion."

If you can call Su Wuming your senior brother just because you join the Sword Washing Pavilion, then why am I not Abbot Kongwen's junior brother when I join Shaolin Temple?
“My master accepted disciples on behalf of his master, and now Junior Uncle is the last disciple of Grandmaster,” Jiang Zhiwei explained, her eyes starting to wander again.

Introducing Qin Sheng's identity to his friends made Xiao Jiang feel awkward, as if he had a thorn in his side, sat on pins and needles, and had a fishbone stuck in his throat.

Meng Qi and the others: "..."

Zhang Yuanshan and the others were completely dumbfounded. What was that?
"Sister Jiang, you're not joking?" Qi Xia was taken aback.

"How could I joke about something like this?" Jiang Zhiwei said helplessly.

"This matter has already spread within the Sword Washing Pavilion. In a while, the True Martial Sect and the Great River Gang should also receive the news."

Seeing Zhang Yuanshan and the others staring blankly at him, Qin Sheng waved his hand and said casually:
“You don’t need to feel alienated by the fact that I am the junior brother of ‘Heavenly Divine Sword’. Senior brother is senior brother, and I am me. No matter what my identity is, my cultivation level will not change.”

"In this cyclical space beyond the world, we are a team, and we each do our own thing."

"This is unbelievable," Zhang Yuanshan murmured to himself.

Meng Qi wholeheartedly agreed with this statement, saying, "It feels like a dream."

Brother Qin, what happened to the two of us who were supposed to be a burden and a hindrance? How did you sneak off to this position behind my back?
The junior brother who ranks first on the Earth Ranking seems to have a bright future ahead of him.

I'm a monk at Shaolin Temple, while Brother Qin is the "Emperor" of Xijian Pavilion. What a sad story!

Zhang Yuanshan and his companions wanted to know the reason behind it, but these people were very tactful and did not offend them.

"By the way, when Junior Brother Qingjing died at Shaolin Temple, masters from all sects gathered in the Great Buddha Hall. Besides investigating the cause of Junior Brother Qingjing's death, the masters from all sects also mentioned two mysterious organizations."

Zhang Yuanshan said, "These two organizations are called 'Immortal Traces' and 'Myth.' Once their members try to leak internal secrets, they will die mysteriously, unstoppable and untraceable."

"Among them, members of the Immortal Traces group mostly use the names of ancient Taoists and immortals, such as Taiyi Zhenren and Doumu Yuanjun; while members of the Mythology group use the names of ancient deities, such as Dongwanggong."

"The two organizations are mortal enemies. They don't have many members, but each one is incredibly powerful, with many of them comparable to the top experts on the Earth Ranking."

"A person with such cultivation level cannot remain unknown and unnoticed by outsiders throughout their life, from their initial entry into the martial arts world to their mastery of martial arts." Qin Sheng shook his head.

"I think the members of the two organizations are all famous masters who have changed their appearance and disguised themselves."

Qin Sheng was well aware of the situation of Immortal Traces and Myths. They were organizations established by reincarnators within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, with the aim of helping each other.

The former's leader is Fagao, the "True Immortal of the First Yang" of the Chunyang Sect, Chonghe Daoist, whose code name in the Immortal Realm is Lingbao Tianzun.

The latter's leader is Han Guang, a powerful Dharma Body cultivator from the Extinction Heaven Sect, also known as the "Demon Master." His codename within the Mythical Organization is Heavenly Emperor.

There are more people in the real world who have joined the Six Paths of Reincarnation than you might imagine.

“Experts from various schools have also reached this conclusion,” Jiang Zhiwei said.

"Let's assume that myths and miracles are related to the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Could this place actually originate from our world?" Meng Qi suggested.

"That's possible."

Qi Xia's eyes shone brightly. "The Daoist Venerable, the Buddha Ancestor, the Demon Emperor, the Monster Saint, the Human Emperor, and the Heavenly Emperor all existed in our world. In the ancient mythological era, immortals and gods rose up together, and they possessed all sorts of unimaginable supernatural powers."

Meng Qi increasingly felt that the world he had transmigrated to was abnormal, completely unlike a proper martial arts world.

What the hell are the Taoist Master and Buddha? And where did the Human Emperor and Heavenly Emperor come from?
"Where did the gods and immortals of the mythological era go?" Meng Qi wondered.

"He's dead," Qin Sheng replied.

"Being killed, or dying when their lifespan was exhausted, various reasons led to the decline of mythology."

Those who didn't die are also asleep.

"Newcomers will be joining this mission," the voice of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation rang out once more.

As soon as the words were spoken, two men and two women appeared in the square: a burly man, a middle-aged man in a wide robe, a delicate young girl, and a charming young woman.

Qin Sheng glanced at them, his gaze settling on the delicate-looking girl.

"Gu Xiaosang still came."

Gu Xiaosang, the Holy Maiden of the Luo Sect, one of the Nine Paths of Evil, appears on the surface to be the fish of the powerful figure Jin Huang on the other shore, but in reality, she is the object of Jin Huang's subtraction and emptiness, just like her relationship with Meng Qi and Yuanshi Tianzun.

She also successfully reached the other shore before the final calamity. Her talent and intellect were both exceptional, far surpassing Meng Qi's.

The young monk was manipulated by the wicked woman.

Newcomers are always noisy when they first arrive. Meng Qi, thinking that he might get a reward for guiding the newcomers, explained the situation in Liudao to Gu Xiaosang and the others.

In the end, he received no reward whatsoever, which made the little monk curse the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation for being stingy.

Do you know how to open the Main God Space? If not, just close it!

"This mission has new recruits, and with a large number of people involved, the difficulty may be quite high. There's even a possibility that we might each have to mentor one of the new recruits," Qin Sheng quickly said.
"Everyone must be cautious and not be careless."

The Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation seemed to have been watching them all along. After Meng Qi finished his guidance, the scene before everyone's eyes changed rapidly.

"The northern barbarians invaded the Central Plains, acted perversely, slaughtered the people, and caused widespread suffering. The Shaolin monks joined various local rebel armies to resist them."

"General Dorcha of the Northern Barbarians is preparing to completely eliminate this scourge..."

"Main Quest 1: Split into two groups, break through the blockade sent by the experts of Dorcha, and deliver the list of traitors to Shaolin Temple. There is a three-day time limit. Those who fail to reach Shaolin Temple within the time limit will have fifty merit points deducted. After the cycle of quests ends, those who do not have enough merit points will be eliminated! If you successfully reach the temple, each person who enters the temple will be rewarded with fifty merit points."

"Main Quest Two: Released after Main Quest One is completed."

This time, the reincarnation mission was announced, but the team members were separated. Qin Sheng was only accompanied by Jiang Zhiwei, Qi Xia, the beautiful woman, and the middle-aged man.

It's obvious that Meng Qi and Zhang Yuanshan are on another team, and the difference in strength between the two teams is quite significant.

Jiang Zhiwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, her junior uncle hadn't separated from her.

Meanwhile, Meng Qi and his group quickly regrouped. After confirming that Qin Sheng and the others were not there, Zhang Yuanshan sighed.

"Junior Brother Qin is truly wise beyond measure. Just as the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation said, he has assigned us to lead different groups of newcomers."

"Brother Qin is indeed intelligent," Meng Qi nodded in approval.

They know "God Space" even better than I, a veteran player, as if they've read the script before.
