Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 474 The Greatly Compassionate and Merciful Buddha Yao Guang Sheng Zu

After everyone left, the people from Fire Scale Cave couldn't wait to approach Qin Sheng again.

"Lord Qin, since you know why we've come, we won't beat around the bush," Huo Yao said.
"The seed of the Qilin Immortal Medicine is in your hands. Our Fire Qilin Cave wants to make a deal with you to bring back this divine medicine that originally belonged to our clan."

"The seed of the divine medicine is indeed mine now, but I must correct one of your statements." Qin Sheng shook his head.

"The elixir of immortality has existed since time immemorial. The ancient and primordial eras are merely a part of the long history they have lived through. Since you are of the primordial royal family, you should know that there were even more distant eras before the primordial era."

"The Qilin Immortal Elixir already existed at that time. Did it belong to the Fire Qilin Cave? The Fire Qilin Cave was merely the owner of the Immortal Elixir for a certain period of time."

The divine medicines in the world of Shrouding the Heavens include some that were originally naturally formed immortal medicines that were downgraded, and others that were transformed from the remains of immortal figures after their deaths.

The Qilin Immortality Elixir should belong to the latter category, so tracing back to its origins, the deceased immortal Qilin was the true owner of the divine medicine.

This is someone else's body!
Many members of the Fire Scale Cave frowned, and Qin Sheng continued:
"However, since you are here to trade, and we had a very pleasant conversation at the ceremony, I can hear your terms of the trade."

"But let me make it clear beforehand that the elixir of immortality is something that can extend the life of an ancient emperor by one lifetime. Don't bring out any ordinary things, otherwise it will only make me think that the life of an ancient emperor is too cheap."

If you really think the lives of ancient emperors are worthless, then don't complain when I'm taking down a supreme little meat pie with one punch in the future.

Huo Lin'er, you don't want anything to happen to your father, do you?
To think that one could exchange a piece of Chaos Jade for a divine medicine is an insult.

Of course, Qin Sheng didn't mean to look down on the Chaos Jade given by a certain holy land; he was just giving an example.

Do not take things out of context, and do not assume that this applies to you.

The people in Fire Kirin Cave remained silent. Huo Yao and Huo Lin'er exchanged a glance, feeling that things were getting a bit tricky.

Qin Sheng's words effectively shut them down beforehand. How valuable was the life of the ancient emperor? It was immeasurable.

If we're being really serious, what do we need to buy this miracle drug?
To be honest, it's impossible.

Just then, Black Emperor ran in carrying Little Nannan.

"Want the Qilin Medicine? Easy peasy," Black Emperor grinned.

"Just bring out your imperial weapons—no, I mean ancient imperial weapons. Fair trade, no cheating!"

Upon hearing this, the powerful figures of Fire Kirin Cave glared angrily at the Black Emperor, wishing they could tear off its black dog skin.

There are few things in the Fire Kirin Cave that can rival the divine medicine, but the ancient imperial weapon, the Kirin Staff, is definitely one of them.

Putting aside whether the Qilin Staff can be sold, exchanging the Ancient Emperor's Weapon for divine medicine would be a huge loss for them. Even if they bought the Ancient Emperor's Weapon with ten divine medicines, probably no one would sell it.

This is equivalent to taking out your only nuclear weapon to buy an oil field. What will the outcome be?
Someone might come along with nuclear weapons and say, "Give me back my oil fields."

Qin Sheng waved his hand, "That's too much, don't take dog's words seriously."

The people from Huolin Cave softened their expressions somewhat.

“Just mortgage the ancient imperial weapon,” Qin Sheng said again.

He understood that ancestral possessions should not be sold, and that it would be fine to give them to the Yao Guang Holy Land. That was how considerate the Holy Lord Qin was.

Huo Lin'er: "..."

If I mortgage it to you, can I get it back?
"Good boy, don't disturb your big brother's conversation." Little Nannan patted Black King's head.

“I’m not wrong. The elixir of immortality is priceless; it can’t be bought!” the Black Emperor declared confidently.

"If anyone has connections, please introduce me. I'd like to buy ten!"

"To be fair, that damn dog has been a troublemaker and unreasonable person his whole life, but this time it did say something fair." Duan De said with an approving look.

This is also why Qin Sheng didn't drive away the Black Emperor. At this time, it's easier to say things by having a dead dog say them. After all, Qin Shengzhu is now a person of status, and it's not appropriate for him to personally cause trouble.

"The Qilin Immortal Medicine has already been reborn as a seed. Why would your Fire Qilin Cave buy it now? Is someone in need of this divine medicine to save their life and wants to eat it?" Ye Fan asked curiously.

"No, that would cause the divine medicine to disappear forever. We will plant it in the Fire Scale Cave and nurture it properly so that the divine medicine can take root and sprout again, and accompany our clan forever." Huo Yao shook his head.

"Divine medicines only follow ancient emperors. Even if the Qilin Medicine regenerates, it will leave the Fire Qilin Cave. You can't keep it." Qin Sheng thought the people of the Fire Qilin Cave were somewhat naive.

The reason why the two immortal herbs, Divine Phoenix and True Dragon, remained in Purple Mountain and Ten Thousand Dragon Nest was not because ancient clans were sleeping there, or because the divine herbs were sentimental and couldn't bear to part with them.

Rather, it's because the Boundless Bell and the Ruthless Emperor's Coffin are there, which is enough to guarantee their safety.

If the ruthless man hadn't buried the coffin in the Myriad Dragon Nest, the True Dragon Divine Medicine would have long since vanished into the forbidden zone of life. The Fire Kirin Cave, with its ancient imperial weapon and a group of ancestral kings, couldn't have kept the divine medicine.

"The Qilin Divine Medicine is, after all, something left behind by our clan's ancient emperor. Seeing it allows us to reminisce about the ancient emperor..." Huo Lin'er's eyes were momentarily misty.

"Since you don't need it for the time being and can't afford it, you can leave the Qilin Medicine Seed with Immortal Qin for now," Ye Fan suggested.

"Perhaps you will have the purchasing power in a few thousand years, then it won't be too late to come back."

Ye Fan's suggestion seemed well-intentioned, but it was actually malicious.

Thousands of years later, not to mention Qin Sheng, he himself will definitely have achieved the Great Perfection of the Sacred Body. At that time, as long as no emperor is born in the Fire Kirin Cave, how dare anyone come here?

After they arrive, they might leave behind everything, including the money they spent on the miracle drug.

“That makes sense. Divine medicine takes ten thousand years to produce results. Young people shouldn’t be too impatient.” Black Emperor nodded.

Huo Lin'er sighed. From Ye Fan and Hei Huang's back-and-forth, she had already discerned Qin Sheng's intentions.

"Brother Qin, is there really no room for negotiation?"

"My willingness to sit here is giving you an opportunity," Qin Sheng said.
Whether this deal goes through depends on you, not me.

If Fire Kirin Cave can truly offer an item equivalent to the Elixir of Immortality, then Qin Sheng wouldn't mind trading for the Kirin Seed.

Is the elixir of immortality precious? Of course it is.

For the Great Emperor, obtaining an elixir of immortality was not difficult. When Emperor Qin Shengcheng needed a divine medicine to prolong his life in the future, he could easily find other divine medicines even without the Qilin Medicine.

Just go inside the penalty area and try to steal it.

Exchanging the seed of the elixir of immortality for another divine-grade treasure is actually a profitable trade.

But your Fire Kirin Cave can't offer anything of equal value. You can't expect Qin Sheng to give it to you for free, can you? Fire Kirin isn't Qin Sheng's daughter.

Huo Lin'er and Huo Yao remained silent; they were likely communicating telepathically.

The little girl blinked her big eyes, her gaze lingering on the people in Fire Scale Cave, and asked curiously:

"Big sister, are you Qilin?"

Huo Lin'er glanced at the little girl and nodded, saying, "Yes."

While inquiring about Qin Sheng, the Fire Kirin Cave also learned about Xiao Nannan, discovering that she was an immortal divine infant.

This once again made Huolin Cave sigh that the world has changed; such things didn't exist in ancient times.

A peerless powerhouse who lived four lifetimes in reverse, a genius who could withstand an ultimate imperial weapon with his bare hands, and even a baby could "live forever"!

"Wow, that's amazing!" the little girl exclaimed.
"My older brother told me that the Qilin, the dragon, and the phoenix are the most powerful creatures. My good friend Jin Shanshan is a phoenix, but no, it's also a dragon."

Huo Lin'er was puzzled. What did the Divine Infant mean by saying that?
"I know that Fire Kirin Cave really wants to get the Kirin Divine Medicine back... What will Fire Kirin Cave do if I'm not willing to trade?" Qin Sheng looked at Fire Kirin'er with bright eyes.

"Unseal all the ancient ancestral kings in the cave, then rally the royal families subordinate to you, and even unite with other ancient royal families to launch an attack on the Yao Guang Holy Land?"

"Fellow Daoist, harmony is of utmost importance."

Ye Fan found it strange; it sounded like Qin Xianren was giving advice to the Fire Kirin Cave.

Huo Lin'er shook her head, "We have no intention of being enemies with the Yao Guang Holy Land or the entire human race. Just as you said, Brother Qin, the Big Dipper is vast enough to accommodate us all living here together."

In the original timeline, the Qilin Seed was in the hands of Ye Fan, a nobody, and the Fire Qilin Cave didn't even bother to seize it. Now that the seed belongs to Qin Sheng, it's even less likely.

Although he had expected it, Qin Sheng still felt regret.

My dear, I'm so sorry.

For Qin Sheng, it would be easier to handle if Huo Lin'er threatened him or even attacked him directly.

Now...

All I can say is that Qin Shengzhu is a kind person.

"Fellow Daoists, you can think it over carefully. I welcome you to visit the Yao Guang Holy Land again anytime," Qin Sheng said, also indicating that he wanted to see them off. "I believe we will have many more opportunities to interact in the future," Huo Lin'er said, rising and leading her clansmen away.

Fire Kirin Cave doesn't really need the Kirin Medicine, so we can wait and have the patience to consider and negotiate.

If the Great Sage of Fire Kirin Cave, or the Kirin siblings were on the verge of death and urgently needed divine medicine to save their lives, they would definitely have a different attitude.

“It seems that not all ancient clans are bloodthirsty and murderous,” Yao Xi said.

“The weak ancient clans had no chance to bully others. In ancient times, they were also the ruled, or even food. The royal family, on the other hand, has a broad vision and doesn’t care about many things. They have a different perspective on the world.” Qin Sheng shook his head.

"Often, the most ferocious are those ancient tribes that are neither high nor low, who know a little but not much, and who are ignorant and fearless."

"Of course, there are also ancient royal families who are full of arrogance and look down on the human race. Killing humans is a trivial matter in their eyes. There is no need to give such a group a good face."

In ancient times, the Beidou human race was weak, and many ancient races thought they were easy to bully. But when they reached the level of the ancient emperors, things were different.

Emperors are generally broad-minded and knowledgeable about the past and present. They would not have the foolish idea that the human race is weak and that they should exterminate it.

It should be noted that even the most bloodthirsty and brutal God-Slaying Insects, after becoming emperors, restrained their ferocity and acquired the demeanor of a great emperor.

While many ancient creatures were not exactly benevolent, there is no need to belittle the ancient emperors before their fall from grace.

It exists in three eras: Dark Chaos Myth, Primordial Era, and Desolate Era. Before the Desolate Era, when faced with the weeping of the common people, there were also Heavenly Venerables and Ancient Emperors who stepped forward.

Even in the current forbidden zones of life, not all are ancient emperors and celestial beings; there are also ancient emperors who are asleep. However, because their time as supreme beings is still short, they do not need to prolong their lives by instigating dark turmoil.

"People are not simply black and white," Ye Fan commented sharply.

The Ji family members had not left yet, and Ji Zi clearly wanted to talk to Qin Sheng about the fragments of the imperial weapon.

However, it seems that the Ji family has no intention of revealing Ji Zi's identity, and instead chose to have a private conversation with Qin Sheng.

"The Ji family is quite remarkable, having such a master as you. May I ask your name?" Qin Sheng asked knowingly.

"This is our Ji family's young ancestor," Little Moon said proudly.

"As expected, he is the son of the Void Emperor," Qin Sheng said with a smile.

"You guessed Xiao Zu's identity? How is that possible?" Little Moon was stunned.

The others glanced at Ji Ziyue. Of all the Ji family members, their little moon was the closest to Qin Sheng. Could it be that you told Dongxian?
"This is a very simple deduction," Qin Sheng said with a smile.
"After leaving the Immortal Transformation Pool, I told you that if the Ji family has an imperial prince, then let him be born as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late in a few decades."

"Throughout the entire Holy Lord Ceremony, Holy Lord Ji and the others showed this fellow Daoist the utmost respect. He even brought out a supreme treasure like the fragment of an Emperor Weapon, which shows his status."

"There is no other possibility but the Emperor's son."

Justified and convincing.

Little Moon wrinkled her nose. "You big devil, you're not only powerful, but also very smart."

"Lord Qin, please keep this matter a secret for the Ji family," said the Lord of the Ji family.

They currently have no intention of bringing Himeko to the forefront, fearing she might be targeted by certain individuals.

It should be noted that in the original timeline, when the Central Emperor severed the Dao, it caused strange phenomena in the heavens and earth, with ghosts wailing and gods howling. At that time, the Primordial Ancestral King took action from afar to kill him.

The Ji family isn't afraid of such things, but it's best to avoid trouble whenever possible and not seek out any risks.

Qin Sheng nodded and made a promise, "Don't worry, the Void Emperor is a revered sage. I won't tell anyone else before the Ji family decides to let the world know."

"Brother Qin's promise is beyond doubt."

Ji Zi then spoke up, saying, "That fragment of the imperial weapon was left behind by my father, but it was not my father's imperial weapon; rather, it belonged to his enemy."

"It contains the legacy of my father's great enemy, and it is extremely strange. Do not explore it lightly before you are sure you can do it."

Even without Ji Zi saying it, Qin Sheng would definitely not easily study the Blue Gold Block, as the pollution caused by the hidden fragments of divine consciousness inside would be extremely terrifying.

Hmm, what would happen if we let Little Nannan take the Blue Gold Nugget into the Ancient Forbidden Land to study it?
Qin Sheng suddenly had a brilliant idea.

“That fragment of the Imperial Weapon is extremely averse to the power of the Void lineage, making it almost impossible for us to uncover its secrets,” Himeko continued.

In the original storyline, the Ji family had not discovered the Blue Gold Block for hundreds of thousands of years, but after Wang Teng went to the Ji family, the thing fell out on its own and went to the Northern Emperor's hands.

This can be seen as a testament to Wang Teng's talent.

Ji Zi: "Brother Qin, please let me know before you decide to act. I will come with the Void Mirror to protect you."

"Fellow Daoist, do you intend to deduce the situation of the enemies encountered by the Void Emperor through the information contained in the fragments of the Imperial Weapon?" Qin Sheng asked.

Himeko nodded. "That's part of the reason."

In Himeko's view, if she could learn about the secrets of the Supreme Beings from the fragments of the Imperial Weapon and gain a deeper understanding of their condition, it would be well worth the price.

However, what Himeko most wanted to figure out was not a particular supreme being, but the situation of the entire Undying Mountain.

The Void Emperor couldn't possibly tell Himeko all the information about the Undying Mountain, because he himself wasn't omniscient.

The Holy Lord of the Ji Family and Da Yue Liang were deeply shaken as they listened to the exchange between the two.

What level of existence would an enemy be that could make the Void Emperor bleed and also possess an Emperor Weapon?

The answer is obvious.

But this answer is something that ordinary people simply cannot believe; it's too outrageous.

"I will try my best, but isn't the Ji family afraid that this is the wrong time to unseal you, fellow Daoist?" Qin Sheng asked again.

"This era is undoubtedly the one that will not be wrong," Himeko said calmly.
"My mission, my responsibility, is to live this life."

Qin Sheng remained silent; he knew what Ji Zi meant by mission.

Unlike those ancient princes and princesses, the son of the Void Emperor was born in this era not to attain immortality, but to quell the chaos, even at the cost of his life.

In Qin Sheng's opinion, Ji Zi's birth was a bit late. If it had been a few decades earlier, the situation would have been much better, and there would have been more room for maneuver.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it. No great emperor can calculate the most accurate time for the path to immortality, and therefore cannot leave the most accurate guidance for future generations.

The Great Emperor's lineage can only decide whether or not to unseal the imperial son based on the current situation.

The Ji family chose to do this not only because of Qin Sheng's persuasion, but also because they saw the emergence of the ancient races and the ancient prince, the Holy Prince, which made them realize that the time had come.

Twenty years ago, the ancient races didn't even exist. If anyone were to ask the Ji family to unseal the Emperor's son, the Ji family would probably think they had ill intentions and wanted to harm their young ancestor.

"I have some understanding of the mission of the imperial princes, and I also know that the imperial princes of the Ji and Jiang families have made indelible contributions to all races," Qin Sheng said meaningfully.

"Fellow Daoist, you don't need to feel too much pressure. This life is very different from the past. You will win."

Qin Sheng felt that the heroes should not be allowed to bleed again and again.

"It seems Brother Qin has had extraordinary experiences and knows a great deal." Ji Zi's expression remained unchanged as he continued:
"With Brother Qin's talent, being born into this world, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. If there's plenty of time, that's fine, but if there isn't enough time..."

Himeko secretly hoped that the Dark Turmoil would come later, giving this generation's prodigy ample time to grow.

For example, if the Holy Body is perfected, or if the Holy Lord Yao Guang attains enlightenment, then the hopes of all beings will increase greatly.

After learning about Qin Sheng's deeds, Ji Zi was absolutely certain that he had a very high chance of becoming emperor.

If there were a great emperor in this era, this world would be much more stable, and he would be able to deter many people.

But Himeko also knew a principle: things don't always go as planned.

Fortunately, Himeko was unaware that Tosen, on whom she had placed great hopes, had cultivated the Devouring Heaven Demon Art; otherwise, he would surely have been destroyed as well.

"Little Ancestor, what are you talking about? What's wrong with this life?" Little Moon asked curiously.

She felt completely unable to understand what Qin Sheng and Xiao Zu were saying; it was all a mystery to her.

"You'd better not pry into adults' affairs," Qin Sheng said, glancing at Xiao Yueliang with a threatening look.
"Watch out, or I'll get Ye Zi to smash you to death."

“Purple Moon, this is indeed something you shouldn’t know,” Himeko said.

Ji Ziyue: "..."

I am a member of the Ji family!
