Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 456 This meal teaches us to be humble and avoid complacency.
After waiting for a while, Qin Sheng realized that Gu Xiaosang was still nowhere to be seen.

"She and I weren't really teammates; we were just temporarily teamed up. It seems we'll go our separate ways after the mission is complete."

"I wonder what she obtained in the Dharma Realm..."

As the thought crossed his mind, Qin Sheng asked the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation to appraise the value, origin, and purpose of the Demon Emperor figurine.

"The clay statue of the Ancestor of Humanity is a mysterious item with unknown value and purpose. It was obtained from the Temple of the Ancestor of Humanity by a sage from beyond the heavens. To forcibly decipher its secrets, one must complete an exclusive task and spend an additional 100,000 merit points."

That expensive? Are you robbing me?
"What price would it fetch if sold to the Six Paths of Reincarnation?" Qin Sheng asked.

"One good deed."

Qin Sheng: "..."

So cheap? Are you trying to rob us?
Demon Emperor, it's not that I'm stirring up trouble, it's just that Lu Ya, Fengdu, and the Water Ancestor really look down on you.

The buyback price is only one good deed? Who are you trying to humiliate? It should be at least one million! Ancestor, let's destroy the Six Paths of Reincarnation Space.

"Should we sell?"

I was just joking.

Qin Sheng took back the clay statue of the Ancestor of Humanity, not intending to dispose of it according to the method suggested by Liu Dao.

After Tathagata and Jietian are separated, the highest exchange price for any one of them is 130,000 merits.

Deciphering this thing costs 100,000 and requires completing exclusive tasks; the meaning of the Six Paths is quite clear.

Don't ask me.

Qin Sheng seriously suspected that if he really chose to do the exclusive mission, he would likely be thrown into the world where the Ancestral Temple was located and left to explore on his own.

If successful, the mystery will be solved, and Liu Dao will then reap 100,000 merits; if unsuccessful, then continue to try.

The buyback price of a single good deed is even more ironic. Even if Qin Sheng were hit by the Finger of No Life, he would never sell the clay statue of the Ancestor of Humanity.

"There's always a way out, and things will work themselves out. When it's my turn to understand its purpose, I'll naturally understand." Qin Sheng wasn't in a hurry.

Since it was given to him, even if he stayed in seclusion in the Sword Washing Pavilion, the corresponding cause and effect would eventually come knocking on his door.

Qin Sheng did not immediately use the reward for this temporary mission: an opportunity to forge an exclusive treasure weapon.

He needs to think carefully about what kind of sword he should forge and what custom requirements he should make to achieve perfection.

We cannot let the Six Paths get away with this so easily.

……

Qin Sheng opened her eyes and saw her junior disciple Jiang meditating and cultivating. Suddenly, someone appeared beside her, and she naturally noticed it.

"Junior Uncle!" Jiang Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, she came back alive.

The reincarnation missions are dangerous and unpredictable. No one dares to say that they have absolute confidence in every mission. Even seemingly invincible figures like Chong He and Han Guang will die once the Six Paths no longer need them.

Issue a mission to send them to the Western Paradise to rescue the Demon Buddha; they are doomed.

"I only have a two-aperture cultivation level. This mission is very simple. The Six Paths are quite fair at times," Qin Sheng said with a smile.

The capable are often imprisoned, and Bixia Yuanjun and the others must have learned this lesson the hard way this time.

"How long has it been?" Qin Sheng asked.

"Just for a little while."

The Six Paths once again interfered with the flow of time. If a boy stays in the cycle of reincarnation for a long time, it is very likely that the son will be older than the father.

"Let's go. I'll tell you about this mission on the way, so you can be prepared if you encounter a similar emergency in the future."

Unless specifically stated by the Six Paths, reincarnators are not prohibited from helping each other with tasks.

After the two left the temporary resting place, Jiang Zhiwei was somewhat bewildered when she learned that Qin Sheng had actually teamed up with Gu Xiaosang this time.

Why did the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation choose Gu Xiaosang instead of me for the mission when I was right next to my junior uncle?

I'm clearly the rightful teammate of Junior Uncle!

Seven days later, the two leisurely arrived at the territory of the Ruan clan in Langya. Qin Sheng first sent someone to deliver a visiting card, informing them that the two prodigies of the Ruan family's Xijian Pavilion had come to visit.

This wasn't because Qin Sheng had become successful and wanted to sever ties with the Ruan family.

The main reason is that Qin Sheng and Jiang Zhiwei have different public identities. They first informed the Ruan family with a formal invitation so that they could prepare in advance and avoid being in a rush.

In this way, neither side will be impolite.

The "Sun God Sword" possesses a great character.

The invitation was very effective. Not only Qin Sheng's uncle, but even the head of the Ruan family, a grandmaster at the third level of the Outer Realm, learned of Qin Sheng and his companion's arrival.

Normal geniuses on the Human Ranking wouldn't alarm someone of this caliber, but Qin Sheng is Su Wuming's junior brother, with the potential to attain the Dharma Body; Jiang Zhiwei is Su Wuming's disciple, known as the second genius of our time.

The former, in particular, was considered half a member of the Ruan family, and thus received much attention.

"Hahaha."

Outside Qin Sheng's inn room, before he could be seen, his voice rang out. A tall, rugged-looking man with white hair at his temples knocked on his door.

"Is Tianjian here? Come out quickly, I want to see the style of the tenth on the Human Ranking."

This is Qin Sheng's uncle, Ruan Han, who is nearly sixty years old and has the cultivation level of the Nine Apertures.

"Uncle, even the Heavenly Sword doesn't have three eyes," Qin Sheng said with a laugh.

“You’re back, just come straight here. Why are you still staying at an inn? Come on, I’ll take you home.”

Ruan Han patted Qin Sheng on the shoulder, then greeted Jiang Zhiwei, and led the two to the Ruan family home.

“After I returned from Zhaocheng last year, I was still worried about your health and was thinking of visiting you again this year,” Ruan Han said with deep emotion.

"I never expected you to give everyone such a big surprise. You suddenly became enlightened and climbed into the top ten of the list. Good, good! Now your father and mother don't have to worry about you anymore."

Normally, this year would be the last year of Qin Sheng's life, and Ruan Han's visit to see him off is also a way of seeing him off in his final days.

"It was also a coincidence," Qin Sheng said.
"My senior brother obtained a method to alleviate the problem of the Sun Body, which gave me a chance to be reborn."

Just blame everything on Su Wuming; it was all done by the Heavenly Divine Sword.

"Are my cousins ​​all doing well?" Qin Sheng asked.

Ruan Han has two sons. The elder son has no talent for cultivation and entered the secular world at a young age to manage the Ruan family's business. He is now in Jiangdong.

The second son was quite talented; he developed his insight in his early twenties and ventured out into the world, upholding justice and chivalry.

As for Ruan Han's wife, she passed away a few years ago.

After giving the answer that everything was fine, Ruan Han reminded Qin Sheng.

"Xiao Sheng, now that you're back, someone from the Ruan family should see you. But since you've already joined the Sword Washing Pavilion, the clan won't make things difficult for you."

As a long-established family, the Ruan family of Langya possesses considerable wisdom.

The Ruan residence is not particularly large, but it is a quiet and elegant place amidst the hustle and bustle, which can soothe one's worries. The birdsong and the sound of the zither create a sense of harmony between man and nature, bringing peace to the mind.

The path is quiet, the bamboo forest is lush and green, the pond is clear and you can see the fish swimming in it, and the ancient-style buildings follow the terrain, which is in harmony with the principles of heaven and earth.

Ruan Han did not take Qin Sheng directly to meet the Ruan family's higher-ups, but instead arranged for him to stay in her own courtyard so they could catch up. No one from the Ruan family came to disturb them.

The next day, Ruan Han took them to pay respects to their maternal grandparents. Only after these matters were settled did the Ruan family elders invite them in.

It wasn't that the Ruan family head wanted to see them; that would be too formal, and some things would be difficult to discuss, leaving no room for negotiation.

When Qin Sheng and Jiang Zhiwei arrived at a lakeside pavilion, a kind-looking old woman waved to them, and a young girl was playing the zither beside her.

The girl was about the same age as Qin Sheng, with bangs, big eyes, and although her features hadn't fully developed yet, she already exuded a cold and noble air, and was very exquisite.

Qin Sheng glanced at her a few more times, not because of her appearance, but because she was chewing as she played the zither, clearly eating something.

Upon seeing Qin Sheng and the others arrive, she quickly swallowed the food.

After exchanging greetings, Granny Ruan Yaoguang looked at Qin Sheng with a kind expression and her eyes were full of approval.

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young! At my age, I'm still sneaking snacks, while you're already famous throughout the land."

The girl playing the zither paused, sensing that her great-aunt was giving her a hint.

"You flatter me, senior."

"No need to be so polite. You and Yushu are of the same generation. If you don't mind, you can call me Auntie."

This is the characteristic of bloodline families; even though the blood ties are extremely distant, they can still be linked as relatives.

Qin Sheng readily agreed.

"Xiao Sheng, I'm sorry, the Ruan family has no way to solve your previous problem," Ruan Yaoguang said softly.

Qin Sheng didn't mind. "The Ruan family has already helped me a lot. I will remember it."

Ruan Yaoguang didn't say much about this topic, but instead chatted with Qin Sheng about some interesting things. She didn't mention Xijian Pavilion or the Ruan family at all. She was like an ordinary old lady caring for her younger generation, which was very pleasant.

"Are you going to continue your adventures in the martial world?"

"Yes, this is the purpose of Zhiwei and me coming down the mountain. We will not return to the mountain for the time being, nor will we stay in one place for long."

“Yes, while we’re still young, we should definitely travel around, see the world, and meet more people,” Ruan Yaoguang said with a sigh.

This man was once a renowned prodigy of the Ruan family, but he later suffered a heartbreak and stopped showing his face.

A moment later, Ruan Yaoguang introduced with a smile:
"This is Twenty-One, our family head's daughter, named Yushu. She's about your age. We should have more contact with her in the future."

"You're ranked tenth on the Human Ranking. How about I give Twenty-One some pointers if I get the chance?" Qin Sheng guessed the identity of the girl playing the zither the moment he saw her.

Qin Xin was born to be Ruan Yushu. After several more cycles of missions, he will also be pulled into the Six Paths of Reincarnation and become a member of Qin Sheng's gang. This is inevitable and cannot be changed.

The young woman was the most valued junior of the Ruan family in this generation. In the eyes of people in the martial arts world, she was qualified to be ranked alongside Qin Sheng, both in terms of status and talent.

The three of them interacted with each other, which fully complied with the principle of marrying someone of equal social standing.

"With Yu Shu's talent, I'm sure it won't be long before I'm no longer able to teach her anything," Qin Sheng said with a smile.

Ruan Yushu glanced at Qin Sheng, thinking that she should be the one who was older.

Ruan Yaoguang didn't stay there long; after the introduction, she got up and left.

"I'm getting old, you young people should chat more."

After the old woman left, Qin Sheng noticed Ruan Yushu staring at him and became somewhat curious.

"what happened?"

“You should call me sister.” Ruan Yushu’s little face was full of seriousness.

Qin Sheng couldn't help but laugh, but he refused.

There can't be two suns in the sky, and there can't be two sisters in a person's heart. In Qin's heart, there is only one sister.

"Sister Yushu's musical skills are truly superb," ​​Jiang Zhiwei remarked.

"The timbre of the zither music just now was no less than that of the masters I know in the sect."

Qin Sheng looked at him strangely. "The Sword Washing Pavilion is full of swordsmen, not musicians. Junior Nephew Jiang, are you kidding me?"

Ruan Yushu's micro-expressions told Qin Sheng and the other that she was happy after being praised. Then, the girl lowered her head with some hesitation, as if she was thinking about something. Finally, she took a small plate from the corner of the table and handed it to the two of them.

"I'll treat you to some dried dragon fish from Langya."

She gently turned her head away, avoiding looking at the dried arowana, clearly very reluctant to part with it.

Qin Sheng and Jiang Zhiwei both laughed and accepted her kindness.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Ruan Yushu pursed her lips.

"It's delicious, the best dried fish I've ever eaten," Jiang Zhiwei praised.

"This is my favorite snack." After receiving approval, Ruan Yushu became even happier and no longer cared about how she and Qin Sheng addressed each other.

"I've heard about you for a long time. Congratulations on your recovery. You're 10th on the list at the age of 13. You're amazing, as is Sister Jiang."

Qin Sheng smiled and said, "With your talent, you'll reach this point sooner or later. The future is yours."

Ruan Yushu, though seemingly cold on the outside, is warm-hearted on the inside. Despite her young age, she is curious about everything. She blinked her big eyes and said:
"The experiences of top-ranked individuals like you traveling the world must be quite exciting."

"Actually, traveling the world isn't all that wonderful; most of the time you're just on the move." Jiang Zhiwei had a very good impression of this little sister and told her some interesting stories, which the little sister listened to without blinking.

Qin Sheng, on the other hand, was...

They stole Ruan Yushu's dried dragon fish.

"I wish I could go out and roam the world too," Ruan Yushu said wistfully at the end.

Qin Sheng felt that this was the start of his rebellious phase.

After recovering from Jiang Zhiwei's story, Ruan Yushu prepared to eat some dried fish to calm her nerves, but found nothing.

"Huh? Where's the dried dragonfish?" Ruan Yushu asked blankly.

"I don't know," Qin Sheng replied casually, his mind elsewhere.

Looking at Qin Sheng's glossy lips, Ruan Yushu moved her mouth, but then lost all strength.

How could there be such evil people in the world?
After Qin Sheng and the other person left, Ruan Yaoguang came to pick up Ruan Yushu. She asked with a smile:
"Twenty-one, what do you think of them?"

"Sister Jiang is very nice, but that other person is a bad guy," Ruan Yushu said earnestly, pouting.

"What did he do?" Ruan Yaoguang asked in surprise.

"He ate all my dried dragonfish!" Ruan Yushu said angrily, crossing her arms over her chest.

"I will never speak to him again!"

Ruan Yaoguang chuckled to herself, "She really is just a child."

On the other side, Jiang Zhiwei couldn't help but laugh, "Junior Uncle, why are you secretly eating Sister Yushu's snacks?"

"Didn't she want to make her way in the world? This is the first lesson I, an old hand, taught her."

Qin Sheng said in a serious tone, "Never let your guard down, no matter the time, place, or person."

"It's obvious that Sister Yushu is not yet qualified to roam the martial world."

Ruan Han nodded upon learning that Qin Sheng and Ruan Yushu knew each other.

"Twenty-one is the most valued person in the family. The head of the family said that Twenty-one will only take in sons-in-law and will not marry out. In the future, she will most likely take over the Ruan family."

"You are also the future leaders of the Sword Washing Pavilion, so it's time for both sides to get in touch."

Then Ruan Yushu never got married for the rest of her life.

That evening, Ruan hosted a banquet for Qin Sheng and Jiang Zhiwei, and Ruan Han also participated. After the banquet, Ruan Han was quite drunk.

“Your cousin Dingshan is already married and settled down. Although he doesn’t have much talent in martial arts, he’s financially secure, so I’m not worried.”

"Although Changfeng is still wandering the martial world, with me looking after him and the Ruan family name on his side, he won't have any problems," Ruan Han said, catching the cold wind.
"You were the only one who suffered from a congenital condition, which made people worry about you. Now you are finally free."

"In a few years, when I go to see your maternal grandparents, I will be able to give them an explanation."

Compared to ordinary people, those in the "enlightenment" stage have a longer lifespan, but it's not particularly long.

Those in the outer realm can live for two or three cycles of sixty years, comparable to immortals and gods who can live for two or three hundred years without any problem.

This is the effect of the collapse of the Great Dao of Longevity, which has reduced a Dharma Body that could have lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years to this state.

"Uncle, you should wait a bit. You're not even sixty yet; it's the time for you to make your mark," Qin Sheng said with a smile.
"Perhaps you'll break through to the half-step outdoor shooting stage this year, and become an outdoor shooting star in a few years?"

"Ha, you certainly know how to comfort people." Ruan Han shook her head.

"My talent is limited, and I should have broken through it long ago. I have accepted reality."

After all nine orifices are opened, one must cultivate the ancestral orifice between the eyebrows to strengthen spiritual power, in order to open the gate between life and death, build a bridge between heaven and earth, and allow the inner and outer worlds to converge.

If one forces a breakthrough without a good cultivation method or if the inner and outer worlds are not in harmony, then after advancing to the half-step outer realm, one will only have a low-grade foundation and it will be almost impossible to advance further.

When the inner and outer worlds are close together and resonate to some extent, one can achieve a communion between heaven and man, and after advancing to the half-step outer realm, one will have a mid-grade foundation.

Further on, there are two levels: the superior foundation – harmony between man and nature, and the perfect foundation – returning to simplicity and authenticity.

The "half-step exterior view" level is not necessary. As long as you achieve the return to simplicity and authenticity, you will have the foundation to leap directly from the nine orifices to the exterior view.

"Talent can be changed."

Qin Sheng stayed at the Ruan family's residence for a few days, passing on his Transformation Technique to Ruan Han and helping him undergo a transformation, while also instructing him on how to adjust his inner world.

After going through this ordeal, top-grade and perfect foundations are hard to come by, but Ruan Han can still achieve a mid-grade foundation.

During this time, Jiang Zhiwei and Ruan Yushu became acquainted, and Jiang Zhiwei even used Ruan Yushu to spar with some of the Ruan family's geniuses to hone her skills.

However, before Ruan Yushu rose to prominence, the younger generation of the Ruan family performed only moderately well, failing to even rank in the top twenty on the individual leaderboard.

Seven days later, Qin Sheng and Jiang Zhiwei left the Langya Ruan family, and Ruan Yushu saw them off at the door.

"Sister Yushu, cultivate diligently. Perhaps in the future we can roam the martial world together," Qin Sheng said with a smile.

Ruan Yushu snorted, "In these seven days you've stolen five plates of dried dragonfish, four plates of osmanthus cake, and..."

The little foodie rattled off a list of delicious dishes, just like reciting the names of dishes.

"How can eating in front of you be considered stealing?" Qin Sheng said with a smile as he mounted his horse.

"Uncle, there's no need to see me off."

He and Jiang Zhiwei went far away.
"Goodbye!" Ruan Yushu suddenly shouted, waving his hand vigorously.

In a high-rise building deep within the Ruan family compound, the Ruan family patriarch, who was at the half-step Dharma Body realm, and the Ruan family head, who was at the Grandmaster level, were also watching this scene.

"The path to enlightenment is within reach, but unfortunately, my Ruan family has missed it," sighed the head of the Ruan family.

If Qin Sheng's problem was solved with the help of the Ruan family, then it is foreseeable that he will definitely join the Ruan family, and then this will become the Heavenly Sword of the Langya Ruan Clan.

This is of immense significance to the Ruan family; they desperately need a Dharma body.

Because the Ruan family's clan's sacred weapon has been lost, but it has been kept secret and outsiders are unaware of it.

Without the divine weapon, this would be a catastrophe that shakes the heavens.

"Not necessarily." The old master of the Ruan family smiled, his eyes wise.

Throughout history, only a handful of people have achieved the highest rank on the Human Ranking and attained the Dharma Body. Qin Sheng is not currently number one, but his chances of achieving the Dharma Body are very high.

Qin Sheng and Jiang Zhiwei blended into the crowd. Little Jiang asked:
"Junior Uncle, where are we going next?"

"Wherever you go, that's where you are; the world is vast, and you can make anywhere your home."

The two swordsmen, now wielding swords, roam the martial world.

(P.S.: There are quite a few words, so it's a bit late. This is the third update, please vote for me!)
