Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 481 The essence of life lies in skipping.

After dismissing the experts from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, the Palace Master led Qin Sheng into a hall and personally entertained him.

With a Reincarnation Realm expert in front of you, and no other expert of the same level to restrain you, the number of people is completely meaningless. As long as a Reincarnation Realm expert wants to make a move, even if hundreds or thousands of Death Profound Realm experts swarm in, it will only be a matter of one strike.

Gathering together carries the risk of being wiped out in one fell swoop. It's better for everyone to disperse to prevent any unforeseen circumstances. Even if this powerful figure has malicious intentions, the other elders will have time to take the sect's younger disciples out and preserve the lineage.

If Qin Sheng does anything detrimental to the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, the Palace Master is prepared to sacrifice himself to hold him back.

Respect for the strong is a consensus in the cultivation world; but protecting the sect is also the responsibility of a sect leader.

"Senior Qin, if there is anything the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask. As long as it's within our capabilities, we will never refuse." The Taiqing Palace Master personally brewed tea.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony," Qin Sheng said.

Taiqing Palace Master: "..."

You really have something to say?

"Everything I said before is true. I accidentally came here when I left the sect and was traveling through space." Qin Sheng smiled.

"However, it is fate that we met. I did not descend to other places, but came to the Taiqing Palace in the Nine Heavens. Perhaps it was the guidance of the 'Supreme One'."

The Supreme Being of the Martial Universe refers to the Embryo of a Plane.

The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she felt helpless. The Supreme One was ruthless and thoughtless; how could he possibly do such a thing?

Moreover, guiding you to the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace has harmed us.

"Please speak, senior." The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace wanted to see what Qin Sheng was up to.

If the demands are excessive, she will use her own blood to tell the other side that the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace cannot be insulted!
"First, I need your sect to take me to the Great Yan Dynasty," Qin Sheng said bluntly.

The Great Yan Dynasty, the birthplace of Martial Ancestor Lin Dong, is home to the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, one of the Eight Ancestral Symbols, and also contains many other treasures that are considered top-tier in the Tianxuan Plane.

Qin Sheng was completely clueless about the Tianxuan Continent and needed to find a guide to lead him around.

Furthermore, if the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace is willing to act as Qin Sheng's vanguard, it can save him a lot of trouble, as the name of this sect is enough to be recognized in many places.

As one of the eight super sects in the Eastern Xuan Region, it still holds considerable prestige at this point in time.

Say my name and I'll give you a shock!
"The Great Yan Dynasty?" the Palace Master of Taiqing asked in confusion.

"What's wrong? Are you having trouble?" Qin Sheng asked kindly.

"No, that's easy. I've only heard my disciple mention it. It seems to be a low-level dynasty, weak and extremely impoverished."

Ling Qingzhu, a disciple of the Taiqing Palace Master, is related to a powerful family in the Great Yan Dynasty, and they have occasionally discussed this matter.

In the Eastern Xuan Domain, sects are supreme, and dynasties of all levels are ruled by sects, with low-level dynasties at the bottom, and there are countless of them.

If it weren't for the connection with Ling Qingzhu, Wu Zu's hometown wouldn't have even caught the attention of someone like the Palace Master of Taiqing.

The gap between the two sides is as vast as that between the Gama Empire and the Danta in the Dou Qi Continent.

"The place I'm going to is the Great Yan Dynasty," Qin Sheng replied affirmatively.

"That's no problem."

The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace agreed and breathed a slight sigh of relief. She only needed the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace to lead the way, so she wouldn't have to risk her life.

Only then did the Palace Master of Taiqing begin to believe that this powerful figure had probably really gone down the wrong path.

"Let's get this done first, and we can talk about the rest later," Qin Sheng said.

He actually wanted the supreme martial arts technique of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace—the "Supreme Response Technique"—but it would be too cruel to ask someone to hand over their fundamental inheritance so soon after meeting them.

The Yunlan Sect will not tolerate such an evil person.

"I will definitely not let my seniors down."

"hope so."

Watching the mature and beautiful woman's departing figure, Qin Sheng shook his head. He thought this palace master really didn't understand anything.

This isn't about taking Qin Sheng to the Great Yan Dynasty, but rather guiding him to the Dou Qi Dimension.

The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace acted swiftly and decisively, personally leading Qin Sheng down from the Taiqing Palace in the Nine Heavens that very day to show his importance. The old woman Qin accompanied them.

The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace felt that since Senior Qin had bestowed this elder with a reward, there was at least no harm in bringing her along.

……

The Great Yan Dynasty, the Great Wilderness Prefecture.

Located at the westernmost part of the dynastic territory, this area is vast and contains many ancient artifacts.

Under the guidance of the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace and the others, Qin Sheng arrived here smoothly without encountering any spatial storms while using the teleportation array, unexpectedly encountering the emergence of ancient ruins, or being chased by the little princess of a super sect.

If Ye Fan were here, we would have wiped out several dynasties and sects along the way.

"Senior Qin, where are we going next?" the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace asked softly.

Qin Sheng looked in one direction; his soul power had already sensed something. He said, "Just follow me."

In the blink of an eye, without any fluctuation in space, Qin Sheng and the others had vanished from their original spot.

When they reappeared, the three of them had arrived on a desolate plain.

The Great Wilderness Plain is a relic left by an ancient sect. At the deepest part of the plain stands a Great Wilderness Ancient Stele, which contains an independent space.

Deep within the wasteland emanated a mysterious and terrifying energy that spread outwards continuously, causing ripples to spread across the heavens and earth.

"This fluctuation has a power to suppress air movement; the deeper you go, the stronger the suppression becomes," Granny Qin said.

All three were experts, and the anti-air force could not suppress them. Looking into the distance, they could see an ancient stone tablet about a thousand feet tall standing deep in the wasteland.

Its aura is vast and ancient, causing all things to become desolate. Huge runes are engraved on the stone tablet, which is very mysterious.

"This thing..." The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace was somewhat surprised, recognizing its extraordinary nature.

"The Great Wilderness Ancient Stele is a relic left behind after the destruction of the ancient sect, the Great Wilderness Sect," Qin Sheng said calmly.

Lin Dong obtained the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger here.

"Is this what you aimed for, senior?" Granny Qin asked.

"Of course," Qin Sheng said, explaining that he simply didn't know the way.

"This Eastern Xuan Region is truly full of endless opportunities; no one knows where ancient relics might be found," the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace sighed.

"Our exploration of this world is still very shallow, and the ancient times are also very mysterious."

Qin Sheng could only say that the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace was too weak; even ten of them combined wouldn't be enough to defeat the Great Wilderness Sect. The strength of the cultivation world in the Eastern Xuan Region had declined too severely, and the Reincarnation Realm was almost nowhere to be seen.

“There’s a seal on this,” the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace concluded after careful observation.

The runes on the stone tablet are the manifestation of the seal, and the seal will automatically break after a certain period of time, allowing outsiders to enter the ancient tablet space to explore.

This will be a grand event throughout the entire Great Yan Dynasty, attracting experts from all sides to seize the opportunity.

Qin Sheng and his group arrived at an inopportune time; the seal on the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele has not yet been broken.

"They can't stop us."

Qin Sheng disappeared again with the two of them, and the seal on the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele did not hinder him in the slightest.

The interior of the ancient stele is a world unto itself, stretching as far as the eye can see, with a desolate atmosphere, but the primordial energy of heaven and earth is very rich.

"As expected of an ancient sect's ruins, it is indeed vast," Granny Qin exclaimed.

Often, spiritual practice relies on archaeology.

Qin Sheng took the lead and flew to the deepest part of the ancient stele space. Soon, a vast and continuous ruin appeared before them, like a collapsed kingdom.

This was once the mountain gate of the Great Wilderness Sect.

"The Great Wilderness Sect was probably quite powerful. How did they manage to be destroyed?" The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace wondered.

"We were attacked by otherworldly demons," Qin Sheng replied casually.

The alien demons deeply hate the Ancestral Symbol, and any master of the Ancestral Symbol is their primary target. The Ancient Great Wilderness Sect brought about its annihilation because it devoured the Ancestral Symbol.

"An alien demon?!" The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace was shocked.

At this moment, Qin Sheng also sensed a strange devouring fluctuation emanating from a divine mountain that reached the heavens.

"Don't worry, there are still living beings in the Great Yan Dynasty, which means that the problem of the alien demons is not a threat for the time being."

Qin Sheng descended upon the sacred mountain and found a stone gate covered in runes, but this did not deter Qin Sheng and his companions. The passage behind the stone gate wound its way downhill. Qin Sheng led the way, and soon they discovered a talisman puppet's lair, the place where the Great Wilderness Sect stored its talisman puppets.

A talisman puppet is a puppet made by "talisman masters" in the Tianxuan Continent who primarily cultivate spiritual power. When activated by various energy sources, it can unleash power comparable to that of the cultivator, making it an excellent protective item.

Compared to the alchemists of the Dou Qi Continent, the talisman masters of the Tian Xuan Continent are more versatile.

Weapon crafting, array formation, beast taming, puppet making, and so on are all included in the realm of talisman masters.

It's not that Doupo (Battle Through the Heavens) didn't have puppets and formations; these professions were actually very prosperous in ancient times. Unfortunately, they were gradually lost, leaving only the alchemist as the most revered.

The lair of the talisman puppets was mostly empty, with only a few ordinary talisman puppets remaining. Qin Sheng and his companions glanced at them and then paid no further attention.

After venturing deeper and overcoming numerous obstacles, Qin Sheng and his companions arrived at a black altar that resembled cast iron.

Stone pillars stood on the altar, their positions strangely arranged, seemingly forming some kind of array. At the very top of the central pillar, a black orb of light rested silently.

Inside the ball of light, an ancient black rune, about the size of a human head, with a black background, was constantly twisting. It emitted a strange fluctuation, occasionally changing into the shape of multiple black holes, and possessed a magical aura that could devour all things.

"This is..." The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace widened her eyes and exclaimed in surprise.

"Devouring Ancestral Symbol!"

The Ancestral Symbol is the most famous divine object in the Tianxuan Continent, with a status similar to the Strange Flame in the Dou Qi Continent, but its quantity is far, far less, making it precious due to its rarity.

Given the status and vision of the Palace Master of Taiqing, it is not surprising that he recognized this item.

"Senior, is this what you've been looking for?" Granny Qin asked, lost in thought.

Yes, it's probably only a divine object like the Ancestral Symbol that could pique the interest of our predecessors.

"Yes," Qin Sheng admitted.

The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace stared at the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, his eyes still filled with shock.

With the Ancestral Symbol, those in the Reincarnation Realm even have a chance to contend with experts in the Samsara Realm. This is practically the most precious treasure that can be accessed by anyone.

Qin Sheng raised his hand and summoned the black light ball. Then, he gently squeezed it, and the black light shattered, revealing the true form of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.

As the black hole evolves, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) is irresistibly swallowed up, and even people's souls seem to be absorbed.

The Devouring Ancestral Symbol actually contains a seal left by the previous owner of the symbol, so ordinary people can only look at it helplessly.

According to the normal procedure, you must first complete the first main quest and find the Devouring Ancestral Symbol based on the clues; then you can proceed to the second main quest, gain the approval of the previous Ancestral Symbol Master, obtain the unsealing key, and then try to refine it.

But for Qin Sheng, it's naturally not that complicated; the prerequisite tasks can be skipped directly.

Skip the foreplay and jump straight to the exciting scene.

"Congratulations, senior! You have greatly increased your strength by obtaining this treasure." Granny Qin offered her congratulations.

Qin Sheng helped her break through her cultivation level without harming the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, and the old woman was very grateful to Senior Qin.

“Senior Qin, the Ancestral Symbol is extraordinary. If you take it out, its fluctuations are likely to be sensed by others. Do you intend to refine it here?” said the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace.

"We can protect you."

"It's just an ancestral symbol, no need for such trouble. I'll be right back." Qin Sheng smiled and cast a wisp of his soul power into the black hole.

An endless darkness descended, and Qin Sheng's soul seemed to have entered a world of utter darkness, where the five senses were absent, and there seemed to be no concept of time or space.

Everyone who wants to refine the Devouring Ancestral Symbol must come to this Dark Realm to undergo trials. They must travel through endless darkness and comprehend the true meaning of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol before they can gain the recognition of the Ancestral Symbol's spirit.

High-level items in the Martial Universe all possess spirituality, and the Ancestral Symbol is no exception.

Looking at the boundless darkness, Qin Sheng gently shook his head. "Testing me... Is it your ancestral symbol that knows how to devour, or is it me?"

Skip, skip!
"Disperse."

As soon as the word was uttered, it was as if a decree from the heavens had been issued. All the darkness receded like a tide, and finally, a slightly shrunken Devouring Ancestral Symbol appeared before Qin Sheng's eyes. This was the spirit of the Ancestral Symbol.

Above the Ancestral Symbol Spirit, there was also a phantom human figure.

He was an old man wearing a black robe with a full head of white hair. His eyes were peculiar; they had no whites and were pure black.

This is the previous owner of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, the Black-Eyed Elder, the strongest expert of the Great Wilderness Sect.

Qin Sheng placed his hand on the Ancestral Symbol Spirit. The next second, the phantom of the Black-Eyed Old Man faded away, and his own phantom appeared on it, with pure black eyes.

Every time the ancestral symbol changes hands, a new phantom image appears here, signifying a change of ownership.

"The first Devouring Lord, the second Black-Eyed Elder, and now it's in my hands. This Devouring Ancestral Symbol is now a symbol of three surnames."

The Devouring Ancestral Symbol rushed into Qin Sheng's brow and entered his sea of ​​souls, which, in the terms of the Tianxuan Continent, is the Niwan Palace.

In the same lower plane of the vast world, when cultivating spiritual power and soul power, the place where "god" is stored is basically the same, only the name is different.

The spirit of the ancestral symbol transformed into a black hole, attempting to devour Qin Sheng's soul power entirely. This was not a case of devouring its master, but rather a form of recognition and benefit.

After the Ancestral Symbol absorbs your spiritual power, it condenses it within the symbol and returns to you a more resilient, stronger spiritual power with the characteristics of the Ancestral Symbol.

but……

I'm inhaling! I'm inhaling! I'm inhaling!

The spirit of the ancestral symbol tried its best but failed to absorb Qin Sheng's soul power. It had no intelligence and its ignorant spirituality conveyed a deep sense of confusion.

Master, why can't I absorb you?
A realm "slightly higher than Dou Di" is something that the Devouring Ancestral Symbol cannot shake, as long as Qin Sheng is unwilling.

"The effect of tempering the spirit is meaningless to me; the ancestral symbol itself is what has value." Qin Sheng comprehended the power source of the devoured ancestral symbol and took the opportunity to soothe the spirit of the ancestral symbol.

The Ancestral Symbol of Martial Universe was not created by the Symbol Ancestor, but rather it was a manifestation of the condensed rules of heaven and earth. This is a more direct treasure of law than the Strange Flame of Battle Through the Heavens.

The Space Ancestral Symbol represents the Dao of Space, while the Devouring Ancestral Symbol naturally represents the Dao of Devouring. The profound mysteries of the Great Dao contained within are countless times more important than anything else, such as enhancing spiritual power.

Of course, this varies from person to person.

Even the supreme beings of the vast world, when they are at the low level, have not yet reached the stage of cultivation. Even when they reach the middle or high level, they only need to comprehend the mysteries of space and do not need to get involved in anything else.

Once the power of the Ancestral Symbol can no longer keep up with them, it loses its value.

Qin Sheng, however, was able to see through appearances to the essence. His perspective was higher, and this otherworldly method of devouring could contribute to his great cause.

"It is somewhat similar to the Void Devouring Flame, but the strange fire is ultimately based on the power of flame. In terms of the explanation of the way of devouring, it is far less profound and pure than the Devouring Ancestral Symbol."

If a ruthless person had a Devouring Ancestral Symbol or a Void Devouring Flame when starting out in their first life, their life would have been countless times easier.

For those with poor innate talent but good comprehension, the most difficult part of the cultivation path is the early stage, and the Path of Devouring is truly the perfect solution for such people.

After a brief moment of enlightenment, Qin Sheng's spirit returned to its original state, and he absorbed the ancestral symbol's physical form into his body.

The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace and the others were stunned for a moment. "Senior, is the refining finished?"

It's only been seven or eight snaps of the fingers!
The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace found it hard to believe; this was the Ancestral Symbol, a first-class divine object in the world.

Even someone at the Reincarnation Realm couldn't subdue it so easily, right?
"I have a special connection with the Devouring Ancestral Symbol," Qin Sheng explained. Then he looked at the stone pillar that contained the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, pointed a finger, and a spatial vortex appeared.

Inside the stone pillar lies a hidden world, a realm within a realm.

Qin Sheng stepped inside first, and the atmosphere inside was even more profound and deep, with a stone pillar standing there.

At the top of the stone pillar, the second owner of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, whom we had just seen in the dark world, was sitting cross-legged.

He is dead; this is a lingering memory.

"Tens of thousands of years have passed, and finally someone has come here." The old man with black eyes slowly opened his eyes, which were pitch black.

“I can sense that the Devouring Ancestral Symbol is on you, young man. However, you must have also felt the seal on the Ancestral Symbol… Huh?”

The old man with black eyes abruptly stopped speaking: "Where is my seal? Where is my ancestral symbol?"

The three, including the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace, also entered. The old man with black eyes looked over, and his gaze was terrifying. Qin Sheng didn't feel anything, but the three, including the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace, felt as if they had been completely seen through.

Qin Sheng looked at the old man with black eyes and shook his head, "What a pity, fellow Daoist."

The old man with black eyes: "..."

Young man, you look to be in your early thirties. What did you call me?
In my previous life, I was in the realm of reincarnation!

The old man with black eyes couldn't help but observe Qin Sheng carefully, but the more he looked, the more alarmed he became. How could this person not have any Yuan power cultivation at all, or even any trace of having cultivated Yuan power?
Hidden so well, a master, an absolute master!

"Fellow Daoist is truly unfathomable. I couldn't discern your cultivation level at all. It seems that the seal I left on the Devouring Ancestral Symbol has already been broken by you."

"That's right, fellow Daoist is very powerful. That seal took a lot of my effort," Qin Sheng answered frankly.

The Taiqing Palace Master and the others were stunned. What did they mean by such strength?
Didn't you break the seal with just a pinch?
