Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 488, Chapter 486: The New Leader
After Yuanmen became part of the history of the Eastern Xuan Domain, Qin Sheng looked at Ying Xuanzi.

“I learned from the memories of the Yuan Sect leader that they imprisoned a person named Zhou Tong, who is quite powerful and seems to be a disciple of your Dao Sect.”

“Zhou Tong?” Ying Xuanzi suddenly became excited, and he used his mental power to sketch a portrait.

"May I ask, senior, is the person being imprisoned him?"

"Yes." Qin Sheng nodded.

Zhou Tong was the most outstanding person in the Dao Sect nearly a hundred years ago. He was the master of the Space Ancestral Symbol and had killed many geniuses of the Yuan Sect, including a Death Profound Realm elder. In the end, he fought against the Yuan Sect alone.

This is undoubtedly courting death. The Space Ancestral Symbol would never allow Zhou Tong, whose cultivation is far from the Reincarnation Realm, to fight against three Yuan Sect leaders alone.

Looking at his life, Qin Sheng felt like he was watching a stubborn, headstrong child who could cover the sky.

No, before one's cultivation has reached a high level, daring to challenge the gates of a sacred land is something few young people in the world of "Covering the Sky" would do.

However, Zhou Tong is indeed a genius. In the original timeline, he fought against Lin Dong more than ten years later and already had the combat power to contend with top-level Reincarnation Realm experts who had touched the true meaning of reincarnation.

"I didn't expect Zhou Tong to still be alive. The Yuan Sect didn't kill him." The other sect leaders were surprised, as they also knew Zhou Tong's story.

"He's still alive, but his condition is very dangerous," Qin Sheng shook his head.

“Zhou Tong possesses the Ancestral Symbol of Space. The Yuan Sect wants to obtain the power of this symbol, so they use the methods of the Otherworldly Demon Clan—the Demon Emperor Lock—to control him and erode his mind. Nearly a hundred years have passed, and he is almost becoming a puppet of the Yuan Sect.”

The Ancestral Symbol cannot be used by force without the consent of the ancestral master, let alone by demons. However, the Yuanmen sect was unwilling to give up such a rare and precious object, so they devised this insidious plan.

The Demon Emperor's Lock was created by the Demon Emperor to target those in the Reincarnation Realm of the Heavenly Profound Continent. It can not only control them but also restrict their unique ability to reincarnate.

It can be said that even the Demon Emperor, a well-informed extraterrestrial demon, felt that the survival ability of the Reincarnation Realm in the Tianxuan Continent was somewhat excessive.

Damn it, a person from a lower plane can live longer than most of us extraterrestrial evil races. Does he even know what kind of identity we extraterrestrial evil races had in the past?

The Demon Emperor Lock on Zhou Tong's body was not personally placed by the Demon Emperor himself, so its effect will be much weaker, and there is still a chance to reverse it.

"Furthermore, the spatial ancestral symbol that Zhou Tong possessed is now in my possession," Qin Sheng stated frankly, without hiding anything.

He flicked out a wisp of milky white flame and handed it to Ying Xuanzi.

“Burning Zhou Tong with this fire can unlock the Demon Emperor’s Lock and heal his body. Using it to exchange for the Space Ancestral Symbol should be acceptable to Sect Leader Ying.”

In fact, even if Qin Sheng hadn't done that, no one could have criticized him for taking the Space Ancestral Symbol.

Zhou Tong has already become a puppet of the Yuan Sect. There is no problem for Qin Sheng to defeat the Yuan Sect and obtain his spoils of war.

Ying Xuanzi was very grateful. "Thank you, senior. The entire Dao Sect will forever remember your kindness."

The sect leader and others were all very envious.

If Zhou Tong returns, the Dao Sect, which was already in decline, will be able to reverse its downward trend, and its three Reincarnation Realm warriors will be able to dominate the Eastern Xuan Region.

As for now...

In the Eastern Xuan Domain, there is only one king among the sects, and only one sky above them.

Fun fact: The Tianxuan Yunlan Sect, which was just established today, has members whose average strength ranks first in the Martial Universe.

"The Otherworldly Demons are about to return. I originally intended to grant you the opportunity for reincarnation to strengthen the Eastern Xuan Region and better prepare you to deal with the Otherworldly Demons in the future," Qin Sheng continued.
"But whether you are loyal or treacherous is still unknown, so let's postpone the opportunity for reincarnation for now."

The task of demonstrating the cycle of suicide has already been undertaken by the three giants of the Yuanmen sect, and no one else is needed for the time being.

Upon hearing this, the Sword Sect leader and the others sighed deeply. They hadn't expected that Senior Qin, who had initially been genuinely willing to give them the opportunity to reincarnate, had now given up.

It's all Yuanmen's fault!
"Senior Qin, is the legendary alien demon really going to invade Tianxuan Continent again?" Ying Xuanzi asked with some worry.

"That's right, at most twenty years." Qin Sheng gave an affirmative answer.

Lin Dong was probably around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old when he fought the Demon Emperor and saved the Tianxuan Continent.

Ying Xuanzi and the others exchanged a glance, their worry clearly visible. In ancient times, even the Ancestor of Symbols had to sacrifice himself to temporarily repel the alien demons.

Without the ancestor of runes, what can the Tianxuan Continent use to fight against the alien demons?
Qin Sheng pondered for a moment, then sighed softly, "Very well, let the young disciples of your sect stay here, and I will give them some pointers."

Qin Sheng did this mainly to study Ying Huanhuan, an outstanding disciple of the Shenzong sect and others, who was essentially a free gift with a phone top-up.

Ying Huanhuan is the reincarnation of the Ice Lord. As long as she burns herself as a sacrifice, she can help people forcibly ascend to the Ancestral Realm.

In the Dou Qi Continent, it would be humanoid primordial imperial aura; in the Douluo Continent, it would be a 100,000-year-old soul beast…

Moreover, Ying Huanhuan comes from the Ice Spirit Clan of the Great Thousand World. This clan is quite powerful, with a Heavenly Sovereign presiding over it, and its bloodline is extraordinary.

The sect leader and his followers were naturally overjoyed by this.

At this moment, the Palace Master of Taiqing solemnly reminded, "Senior has already cultivated to the same level as the Ancestral Symbol. Now that the alien demons have returned and the continent is in danger, the entire Tianxuan Six Domains and the seas rest on your shoulders."

Ancestral Realm?!
Ying Xuanzi and the others were shocked. Instead of doubting it, they felt that this made sense, since Qin Sheng's strength just now was too terrifying.

The eight super sects have a long history and there are some scattered records about the Reincarnation Realm. They had felt that Qin Sheng's performance was not right before, but they did not dare to think about the Ancestral Realm.

Having missed the reincarnation opportunity offered by the Ancestral Realm, the sect leaders were filled with deep regret, and their resentment towards the Yuan Sect grew stronger. However, the thought that their own disciples could still have this blessing offered them some consolation.

“Senior Qin, on behalf of my daughter, I thank you for your great kindness,” Ying Xuanzi said.

Qin Sheng remained calm; he should be thanking us. "Alright, if there's nothing else, you may all leave. Have your disciples come here to find me tomorrow."

The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace led Ying Xuanzi and the others away. Once they were far away, the sect leaders couldn't wait to ask her about Qin Sheng's situation.

The sudden emergence of an Ancestral Realm expert on the Tianxuan Continent is truly astonishing.

"Do not doubt Senior Qin's strength. He is comparable to the Demon King of the Second Reincarnation Tribulation Realm, yet he suppressed him without lifting a finger." The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace said solemnly.

"Even the Ancestral Stone, ranked second on the Ancient Divine Artifacts List, personally acknowledged that Senior Qin Sheng has reached the Ancestral Realm. Whether the Tianxuan Continent can survive depends on Senior Qin Sheng."

"It's your disciples' good fortune to be able to stay. Remember to remind them that if they offend their seniors..."

The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace did not finish speaking, but everyone undoubtedly understood the consequences of offending an Ancestral Realm expert.

But at the same time, a deep sense of anticipation also arose in the hearts of these people.

If one's own disciple were to be chosen by an Ancestral Realm expert and taken as a disciple, wouldn't there be a chance for him to become one of the Eight Ancient Masters under the Ancestral Symbol Master?

Times have changed, and in this new ancestral realm, there should be eight new masters!

Qin Sheng paid no attention to what these people were thinking. He raised his hand, and the spatial ancestral symbol appeared.

It has no specific form; it is a constantly twisting mass of silver light that merges with space. Strange runes shine in the center of the silver light, appearing and disappearing as if space itself has been materialized.

This ancestral symbol is even more bizarre than the Devouring Ancestral Symbol. Among the eight ancestral symbols, the Space Symbol is the most unpredictable.

"The condensation of the rules of this dimensional space..." Qin Sheng poured a wisp of his soul power into the spatial ancestral symbol.

Infinite, empty, and eternal, at this moment Qin Sheng seemed to see the entire space of the Tianxuan Continent, causing one's spirit to dissipate to all corners of the earth.

If someone attempts to refine the Ancestral Symbol at this time and truly merges with the space, then their soul will be scattered.

Qin Sheng had no such possibility; he directly found the spirit of the Space Ancestral Symbol and refined it.

After completing this step, the space of the Tianxuan Continent felt somewhat different to Qin Sheng.

It is more obvious, more personal, and able to leverage the greatest potential with the least amount of effort.

"Space is supreme, but it is also the foundation of a world."

A world can exist without light, without thunder, but it cannot exist without space. Space is the true foundation, and once this foundation is removed, everything will collapse.

At that time, other elements and rules will no longer have any meaning, and the very foundation for their existence will be lost.

Qin Sheng used the Ancestral Symbol of Space to experience the spatial rules of this world in the most direct and profound way.

"Space is arguably one of the rules with the most commonalities across all worlds... It's a pity there's no Time Ancestral Symbol," Qin Sheng thought with some regret.

Compared to space, time is undoubtedly more mysterious and unpredictable, belonging to the most difficult type of power to access in any world.

If the Martial Universe had a Time Ancestral Symbol, it would undoubtedly be a shortcut for Qin Sheng.

The eight ancestral symbols are Devouring, Life and Death, Space, Primordial Chaos, Darkness, Ice, Fire, and Thunder.

The last four ancestral symbols, representing common elements in the world, are not as significant to Qin Sheng as the three ancestral symbols of Devouring, Space, and Life and Death, but having them is definitely better than not having them.

The Primordial Power represented by the Primordial Ancestral Symbol is actually the power of desolation. It sounds hopeless, but the truth is quite the opposite.

In the world of Martial Universe, desolation is a force that causes all things to wither and die, but not to completely perish. Instead, it causes life to be contained, waiting for the cycle to repeat itself so that it can grow back with a more tenacious spirit.

This is why the spirit of the ancestral stone needs primordial power to repair itself; through repeated cycles of desolation, life can become more resilient and stronger.

Just like the changing seasons, wildfires cannot burn it all, and the spring breeze brings it back to life.

Those who possess the Primordial Ancestral Symbol can generally utilize this cycle of desolation and rebirth to temper their physical bodies to an extremely terrifying level.

This cycle shares a similar theme with the nine transformations of the Other Shore Realm in the Heaven-Covering Technique.

Anyone who can reach the Other Shore Realm and use the Primordial Ancestral Symbol to undergo a rebirth after nine deaths and nine lives will surely reap astonishing rewards.

"The Ancestral Symbol of Life and Death is among the Undying Whale Clan in the Chaotic Demon Sea... However, in the original timeline, when Lin Dong encountered this Ancestral Symbol, it had already transformed into a human. I don't know if it is still a symbol or a human now."

"The Primordial Ancestral Symbol is also in the Chaotic Demon Sea, located inside the Primordial Tower. The Primordial Lord is sleeping there, recuperating and healing the injuries he sustained in the last great war between heaven and earth."

"In that case, the Primordial Ancestral Symbol still has an owner, which is different from the Devouring Ancestral Symbol... Let's talk to the Lord of the Primordial World."

Having obtained these two ancestral symbols, Qin Sheng had completed the collection of the "upper four symbols" from his perspective. He could take his time with the "lower four symbols" later, but he did not plan to personally go to the Chaotic Demon Sea to search for them.

He chose to use the Devouring Ancestral Symbol because it was located in the Great Yan Dynasty, a place with special circumstances, the place where dreams begin, making it worth the trip. The Chaotic Demon Sea, on the other hand, was unnecessary.

"Let the Dao Sect go to the Chaotic Demon Sea to retrieve the Ancestral Symbol on my behalf."

When I broke through Qin Sheng's Douhuang realm, I had to do everything myself to find a strange fire. Now that I'm "a little higher than Dou Di," if I still have to do everything myself to find an ancestral symbol, then all my breakthroughs have been for nothing.

This was also Qin Sheng's intention in summoning all the super sects of the Eastern Xuan Region, giving them an opportunity to serve the Ancestral Realm.

I believe everyone would be happy to accept that.
