Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 492 Not for achieving enlightenment, but only to eliminate the ruthless one.

After a while, Ye Fan stopped collecting the Nine-Colored Divine Fire. He shook the large black gourd in his hand, and a sound like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting came from inside.

A wisp of divine sense probed into it, and Ye Fan's face turned pale. That wisp of divine sense was directly burned away, but a smile appeared on his face.

"Alright, as long as we seize the opportunity, burning a bunch of Holy Lords to death shouldn't be a problem."

The flames of the ninth level of the Fire Domain are difficult for even ordinary kings to resist, but the problem is that at this point in time, there are not a bunch of kings for Ye Fan to burn, so he has to use the Holy Lord as a hypothetical enemy.

"Be careful. This divine fire is indeed a powerful weapon, but it doesn't discriminate between friend and foe. Prepare Bodhi seeds before using it," Qin Sheng warned.

"Don't worry." Ye Fan nodded, then said with some emotion:
"This gourd is indeed worthy of being a damaged ancient imperial weapon. Although it rarely manifests any magical powers, its indestructible body alone makes it a rare treasure. The space inside the gourd is like a universe."

"Immortal Qin, what level of cultivation do you think we need to reach before we have a chance to repair it?"

"By the time you can restore it to its original state, you shouldn't be lacking an ancient imperial weapon." Qin Sheng shook his head.

"How is that possible? Who wouldn't need ancient imperial weapons?" Ye Fan didn't believe it.

"Even if my Holy Body is fully developed, my cauldron cannot be transformed into an Emperor-level weapon, and it cannot compare to a true Royal-level artifact."

Throughout history, those who achieved the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body could challenge the Great Emperor. Perhaps when their weapons were in their own hands and supported by invincible combat power, they would perform even more extraordinary. But once they fell, those weapons were ultimately just quasi-Emperor weapons.

A cultivator at the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor realm can easily crush a cultivator at the first level, but in the hands of a Sage, the difference between a weapon forged at the ninth level and a weapon forged at the first level is not that great.

Ye Fan pondered that when he reached that point, his cauldron would at most be a little more durable due to the material issue.

"Ye Zi, have confidence in yourself, the future..." Qin Sheng was interrupted by Ye Fan before he could finish speaking.

"Alright, that's enough for now. Don't say anything more."

Qin Sheng lamented that Master Ye could predict his future and offer his blessings, unaware that his words came from the bottom of his heart.

Whether it's Qin Sheng or Ye Fan, once they achieve enlightenment, they won't become ordinary Great Emperors, but will instead leap to the Heavenly Emperor level.

At that time, a normal imperial weapon was certainly a treasure to them, but it wouldn't be of much use.

Special artifacts that combine weaponry and formation, such as the Lingbao Tianzun Zhuxian Sword Formation, are barely acceptable.

In mythology, Lingbao Tianzun once slew immortals, and the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the array diagram were soaked in the blood of immortals.

True immortals do not descend to the mortal realm. This legendary immortal should definitely be put in quotes. However, assuming this story is true, then an existence that can be described in this way must be an absolutely invincible powerhouse.

The Four Swords of Zhuxian are considered a very special one among imperial weapons.

However, regardless of the world, once the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is unleashed, an invincible aura immediately assaults the senses, making everyone wary of taking it lightly.

This is what reputation is all about.

Ye Fan put away the black gourd and looked at Qin Sheng, "You, the Holy Lord, left the Yao Guang Holy Land just to ask me about what happened in the Ji family, right?"

"clever."

Qin Sheng nodded and said with a smile, "I asked the Ji family to inquire about a place before, and now that we have a clue, let's go and take a look together after we leave the Fire Domain."

“Okay, I’ll go with you.” Ye Fan readily agreed without even asking where they were going.

He knew in his heart that it was probably another place related to the Ruthless Great Emperor.

Alas, my friend, after learning some secrets and benefits from the memories of the Ruthless Great Emperor, always tries to bring me along so that I can benefit from it.

It's hard not to feel that this is someone making arrangements for their death!

Since concluding that the Ruthless Great Emperor might want to be reborn using Qin Sheng's body, Ye Fan has been thinking of solutions. In the end, he realized that all helplessness in the world stems from the inadequacy of the person involved.

If even a fully-fledged Holy Body can't defeat the Ruthless Great Emperor, then surely my attainment of Dao should be enough?

Not for the sake of enlightenment, but solely to eliminate wicked and ruthless people.

"Why aren't Dead Dog and that immoral Taoist with you?" Qin Sheng asked.

The Eastern Wilderness is not peaceful now, and the Three Evils of the Big Dipper should not easily separate, after all, the combined power of the three of them will produce an incredibly wonderful chemical reaction.

The deterrent power of this combination would drop drastically if any one of the members were missing.

"The Black Emperor and his group aren't interested in the Fire Domain. They said they couldn't withstand the burning of the Nine-Layer Divine Fire, so they went to wander around the surrounding area and planned to find a large tomb." Ye Fan shook his head.

"The Taoist priest got the news from somewhere that there is an unparalleled figure buried under the Jin Kingdom, named King Jin. There are even rumors that the Fire Domain was born because of this King Jin."

This sounds like a rumor. Even if the King of Jin really existed in history, how could something as terrifying as the Fire Domain Source be related to a "king"?

However, given that the Fire Domain is a desolate place where even treasures wouldn't exist, it's normal that Black Emperor and Duan De weren't interested.

Qin Sheng strolled through the ninth level of the Fire Domain and found the source of a nine-colored divine fire.

The fire source is dazzling and colorful. Every time it leaps, it shines like the light of a flying immortal. The sound it makes when it burns is like the roar of a primordial demon god. It has a sense of breaking through heaven and earth and then burying everything.

Even with protective treasures, facing this flame makes one feel as if their body is withering away; it is too terrifying.

Qin Sheng carefully put it into the purple gourd and set aside a separate space for it.

"With your strength, you shouldn't need to use this kind of flame to fight, right?" Ye Fan asked, puzzled.

The power of divine fire can be very useful at times, such as when facing a large number of people or attacking the gates of a certain force, but at other times it can be very restrictive. One’s own strength is always the best policy.

No matter how powerful one becomes by relying on ingenious skills and tricks, it is still fake and not real, so don't rely on or be obsessed with it.

Ye Fan had no choice.

"I can refine this flame that contains the Dao and the principles, and absorb its mysteries. For me, this can also be considered a cultivation resource," Qin Sheng explained.

Ye Fan was stunned. "The Devouring Heaven Demon Art has such an ability?"

Isn't this a technique that devours the essence of cultivators? Even flames count as cultivators?

“The normal Devouring Heaven Demon Art doesn’t exist, but mine is different.” Qin Sheng smiled.

"Although the Ruthless Great Emperor left behind endless poisons, his talent was truly remarkable," Ye Fan exclaimed.

Not only did it change the Devouring Heaven Demon Art from seeking external influences to seeking its own, but it also directly allowed it to devour the Dao. No wonder it was a figure who was probably the longest-lived ancient emperor in history!
But the more stunning the Ruthless Great Emperor was, the heavier Ye Fan's heart became.

How can Qin Sheng achieve victory in a battle of wills and consciousness against such a figure?
This is an enemy I can't possibly defeat; it's up to me to save them!

Qin Sheng gazed into the distance, pretending not to have heard Ye Fan's words. He was also troubled by Ye Fan's frequent slander of Ruthless People.

Going forward to punish Master Ye would be betraying my brothers; retreating to join in slandering the ruthless one would be betraying my faith.

They had no choice but to remain silent and pretend they hadn't heard anything.

A rebellious younger sister, a brother whose misfortune is pitied and whose lack of ambition is infuriating—Qin Sheng can just watch him.

"These nine-colored flames are incredibly terrifying; you must be careful when you refine them," Ye Fan advised.

"I won't act rashly."

The danger of ingesting flames into one's body is entirely different from that of using a powerful physique and vast magical power to defend against them.

This nine-colored flame is indeed terrifying; it must be dealt with slowly. Qin Sheng from Doupo was burned to death while refining the strange flame, which serves as the best lesson for him.

This is a lesson learned the hard way, a lesson that happened to me personally. I've learned my lesson.

As the two were talking, a strange sound suddenly came from the deepest part of the fire domain, like someone sighing, or like something slowly crawling.

Both of them were highly skilled and had very keen senses, so they immediately noticed the movement, which greatly surprised Ye Fan.

"What kind of being can survive in the deepest part of the Fire Domain? Could it be that a saint is living in seclusion here?"

"It can't be a saint." Qin Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly walked inside.

The deepest part of the Fire Domain is a desolate land several miles in size. There is nothing here, not even the omnipresent flames. What should be the most terrifying place looks like a pure land instead.

The source of the movement came into view: a small tree, about half a foot tall, moving across the desolate landscape, as if it had legs. "A walking tree?" Ye Fan's eyes widened in surprise.

"No, this is a flame even more powerful than the divine fire of the previous nine levels," Qin Sheng said.

The tree was essentially a cluster of flames, but it had transformed into the shape of a tree. As the flames rolled, it looked as if the tree was moving.

"Within the nine layers of fire domain, there is actually a tenth type of flame, and it occupies the deepest part all by itself?" Ye Fan was shocked.

From this perspective, this desolate land stretching for miles is not a pure land, but rather the exclusive territory of the Fire Emperor, which will not tolerate any flames.

"The Fire Domain has been a mysterious place since ancient times, with endless legends, some of which even involve true immortals," Qin Sheng murmured.

For example, there is a legend about an immortal who was burned alive in the deepest part of the fire realm, wailing for tens of thousands of years before finally turning into a handful of ashes.

Qin Sheng was already used to such legends. No immortals had ever been born in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, but the number of "immortals" who died for various reasons and the "immortal objects" that fell into this world could circle the Holy Land of Yao Guang twice.

"Ancient Taoist scriptures record that the Desolate Tower once stayed in the Fire Domain for a long time, using immortal fire to refine its body. The nine kinds of divine fire outside would be of no use to the Desolate Tower."

Qin Sheng stared at the small tree of flames. "At the same time, there has always been a legend that although the Fire Domain seems to have only nine layers and nine flames, there is actually a tenth kind of rootless and sourceless flame. However, it has only appeared a few times since ancient times, and not many people have seen it or been able to find it by force."

"The tenth fire that burned immortals and refined the desolate tower should be this thing."

What was burning in the sapling was not matter or energy, but rather runes of the Great Dao and chains of divine order.

All worlds shimmer in the flames, they are burned, and in the blink of an eye they are restored to their original state, in a continuous cycle of formation, existence, decay, and emptiness.

This is a supreme Dao fire capable of creating heaven and earth!

"This is the true immortal fire," Qin Sheng exclaimed.

He knew very well that the flames on the outer nine levels were nothing to true experts, but this fire was terrifying beyond measure.

"What are those runes? They seem incredibly profound; I can't understand them at all," Ye Fan said, looking at Qin Sheng.

"Do you also want to refine this flame?"

Qin Sheng: "..."

What good will it do you if you get me killed?
"You dare say it? I wouldn't even dare to think about it. It's impossible." Qin Sheng shook his head.

In the original storyline, when the Dark Turmoil broke out, Gai Jiuyou absorbed this immortal fire into his body, forcibly tempered his blood and qi, and enhanced his combat power, managing to fight off a supreme being from a forbidden zone.

This was certainly due to Gai Jiuyou's own astonishing combat power, as well as the fact that the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone was not in good condition and would die upon sublimation. However, this flame undoubtedly played a crucial role, demonstrating its high grade.

Not just anything can participate in the Supreme Battle.

If Qin Sheng were to rashly swallow the Flame Tree now—no, even after entering the Saintly Realm—the consequences would be...

He'll probably just wait in the Land of Infinity for the next Qin Sheng to come and tell him his last wish.

If both Qin Shengs died from refining fire, it would be something the later Qin Shengs would talk about for a lifetime.

The sapling of flames quickly disappeared, burrowing into the ground, and its presence could no longer be felt.

"I'll come back for it again when I have the chance," Qin Sheng said, turning around. This flame still really appealed to him, and he would definitely try it out when he was strong enough in the future.

"Let's go, Nannan and the others are still waiting outside the Fire Domain."

After leaving the Fire Domain, Qin Sheng saw Duan De and Black Emperor already surrounding the little girl. Upon seeing the two of them come out, the little girl cheered and ran over.

Looking at the road and the dog, Qin Sheng asked, "Have you found that tomb of the Prince of Jin?"

"Not a soul in sight, that fatso is completely unreliable." Black Emperor spat.

"The information I received is absolutely correct."

Duan De confidently asserted, "This land did indeed once give birth to an unparalleled powerhouse named King Jin, whose cultivation had surpassed the Great Completion King realm."

"He has the blood of the Jin royal family, and even the name of the country comes from him."

At this point, Duan De's face fell. "But that shouldn't be the case. How come there's no trace of that tomb? Could it have vanished into the annals of time?"

"Stop bragging. We've been searching for so many days and haven't found a single hair on the corpse." Black Emperor rolled its eyes, then looked at Qin Sheng with eager anticipation.

"Immortal Qin, you brought Nannan down the mountain, did you come to see me?"

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Taking Nannan to risk your life in a forbidden zone? Don't even think about it." Qin Sheng glanced at Black Emperor.

"What kind of person do you take me for!"

……

The Eastern Wilderness is vast and boundless, with countless uninhabited areas stretching for tens or even millions of miles.

If you were to pluck the sun from Earth's solar system and drop it into the Eastern Wilderness, it would only occupy a small area.

After leaving the State of Jin, Qin Sheng and his group arrived in a vast wilderness in the Southern Region, following the map provided by the Ji family.

Here, the mountains rise and fall, ancient trees reach for the sky, possessing the most primitive features. For hundreds of thousands of years, there has been no trace of human beings. It is a world far removed from civilization, inhabited only by wild and ancient beasts.

"What exactly are you looking for in a place like this?" Black King's big dog head looked left and right, as if he was about to rush out as soon as he found a treasure.

The little girl sat on the back of the black king, watching Dou Dou jump and play happily.

Black King had already started walking on two legs to learn the secrets of the character "行" (xing), but whenever it was with Little Nannan, it would revert to its dog-like behavior to make it easier to carry the little one.

He lives up to his reputation as the number one simp in the world.

"Find something that, once you see it, will make you beat your chest in regret, wishing you were born hundreds of thousands of years too early, and that you could immediately be reincarnated," Qin Sheng said with a smile.

"What a joke! What treasures haven't I seen? How could I possibly lose my composure like that!" The Black Emperor said this, but his curiosity was growing stronger, as if a hundred claws were scratching at his heart.

They traveled through the wilderness and soon came to a swamp that stretched for tens of thousands of miles.

"An ancient crocodile is lurking in the swamp." Ye Fantian's eyes were sharp as he saw the overlord of this area, a large, pure black crocodile whose body shone with an obsidian-like light.

"Very strong, I feel it's no weaker than the major holy lords."

Qin Sheng glanced at the ancient crocodile, which immediately sank into the swamp, showing no intention of rushing out to stop them.

"I thought there would be a big battle." Ye Fan was taken aback. After all, in his impression, savage beasts were far more warlike and barbaric than demons.

"Now that I have arrived, all beasts shall retreat," said Jin Shanshan, raising his head.

“That dead bird is right. With its cultivation and bloodline, this ancient beast wouldn’t dare to show its teeth,” Black Emperor nodded.

Since the ancient crocodile didn't cause trouble, Qin Sheng and his group wouldn't bother it for no reason. Besides, Xiao Nannan didn't really like eating the meat of such an ugly creature.

After Qin Sheng and his group crossed the swamp and disappeared from sight, the ancient crocodile resurfaced, looking in the direction the group had gone, its eyes filled with trepidation.

It scared the crocodile to death.

As they ventured deeper into the land, Qin Sheng and his companions encountered more than one ancient beast, discovered many rare medicinal herbs and materials, and even found a 20,000-year-old herb.

Finally, a stone mountain appeared before them. It was devoid of any greenery, and golden bolts of lightning occasionally lashed down from its summit, both dazzling and terrifying.

It would be a miracle if flowers, grass, and trees could grow under such a barrage of lightning.

At the top of the rocky mountain, there is a huge bird's nest, the source of lightning, from which faint signs of life emanate.

"What kind of creature's nest is this? It's terrifying," Ye Fan exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmm?" Golden Sparkle stared at the nest, intrigued. It said to Little Girl:
“My dear, Silver Glitter found the Jade Stone for you in the Qinling Mountains. Today, I will also tame two playmates for you, who will be far superior to Silver Glitter.”

Qin Sheng wanted to laugh. The competition between the "Golden Horn" and "Silver Horn" was truly everywhere, and they always wanted to outdo each other.

The struggle between slaves has always been like this.

(P.S.: More this afternoon)
