Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 504 Qin Shengzhu's Struggle for Immortality
Qin Sheng did not bring Xiao Nannan with him on this trip to the tomb of the Prince of Jin. What kind of person is she to bother the old ancestor?

The old ancestor only plays the Emperor's game.

Besides, apart from the Forbidden Wasteland, Yaoguang Mountain Gate is definitely the safest place for Xiaonannan, and she is unlikely to encounter any danger.

Qin Sheng never expected that leaving Xiao Nannan to wander around the Yao Guang Holy Land would lead to such a situation.

Are ruthless people attracted to each other?
"Where is that cave? Besides Nannan, has anyone else discovered it?" Qin Sheng asked.

"Only DouDou and I know, it's our little secret!" the little girl said in her childish voice, explaining the reason.

As mentioned before, in the past two years, Xiao Nannan has enjoyed exploring some of the more remote and less populated places in Yaoguang Mountain. She is a limited edition adventurer.

In the past, Jin Shanshan had been watching over them, but this time Qin Sheng took both "Golden Horn" and "Silver Horn" with him. Little Nannan and Dou Dou stared at each other, and finally decided to do something exciting, so they ran to a dark place, which led to this discovery.

“Master, Sister Nannan didn’t run away on purpose,” DouDou said.

Qin Sheng smiled and said, "As I said before, in the Yao Guang Holy Land, Nannan can go wherever she wants, so of course there is no problem."

"Besides, you and Nannan have found a treasure this time, I'm already busy rewarding you."

Qin Sheng took the little girl's hand and headed towards the cave she had mentioned.

The cave is located in a secluded place deep within the Yao Guang area, surrounded by mountains and lush vegetation, but there are no wild beasts or monsters there.

The Yaoguang Mountain Gate covers a vast area, like a divine kingdom on earth, and there are many places that even disciples and elders have never set foot in.

This place used to be a cemetery, so it's inevitable that some strange things happened here. The ancient sage Yao Guang specifically instructed us to learn to be respectful.

After finding the cave, Qin Sheng led the two little ones inside. The cave was indeed very dark, and the light from outside was completely swallowed up when it shone in.

"Were you scared when you came here before?" Qin Sheng asked with a smile.

"The dark is scary, but with DouDou by my side, I'm not afraid," the little girl giggled.

"DouDou too!"

Upon reaching the end of the cave, the darkness faded, and a faint light appeared, the source of which turned out to be a group of small insects.

Qin Sheng glanced at the insects a few more times. Under their light, he felt a sense of calm. They were strange insects.

"Oh no, where did that thing go?"

The little girl tilted her head, scratched her head, and looked confused.

There was no "Mother Qi of All Things" at the end of the cave as the little girl had described. The underground passage ended abruptly there, with a cliff in front and no way forward.

Below the cliff lies profound darkness; any divine sense that enters it will become lost, with no idea how deep it is or where it leads.

Using the light emitted by those firefly-like creatures, Qin Sheng could vaguely see a faint bronze glow not far away, directly opposite the underground passage.

"The Bronze Immortal Palace..." Qin Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, seeing this object was exactly what he had expected.

The little girl wasn't lying; what she saw was indeed the Mother Qi of All Things. However, at this moment, this sacred artifact, which belonged exclusively to the Great Emperor, should have already shrunk into the Bronze Immortal Palace. The two were one.

Gazing at the enormous creature hidden in the darkness, Qin Sheng fell into deep thought.

"Is the Bronze Immortal Palace floating beneath the Yao Guang at this time? It seems this is indeed its usual place... However, this place does not appear to be the entrance to the Ruthless Emperor's Tomb."

The Tomb of the Ruthless Emperor is not visible to the world. It is a chaotic immortal land located in another world. There may be some spatial intersections, but normally even if someone keeps digging underground, they will not be able to find it.

There should be a huge space beneath Yao Guang, which will be able to contain the Ruthless Emperor's Tomb once it manifests.

Furthermore, from the time of its founder, the Yao Guang Holy Land knew that there was a large tomb beneath it, and that its disciples had been living on the tomb.

In the original timeline, after the Emperor's Tomb showed signs of unusual activity and its impending birth, a powerful figure from the Yao Guang Sect declared that this day had finally arrived. He then led the Holy Land to relocate overnight without any hesitation.

After Qin Sheng succeeded as the Holy Lord, he was given access to various secrets of the Holy Land. Li Daoqing emphasized this matter repeatedly and gave him many instructions.

"This place has become the sacred land of Yao Guang. To have survived here for tens of thousands of years is already a blessing from heaven. Once the great tomb appears, you must leave immediately and not be greedy in the slightest, otherwise the sacred land will surely be destroyed..."

Li Daoqing's words still ring in my ears.

However, Li Daoqing did not tell Qin Sheng who slept in the Emperor's Tomb. It was not that he intended to hide it, but rather that the former Holy Lord did not know the truth either.

Without knowing that the ruthless man was still alive, Qin Sheng suspected that the ancient sages of Yao Guang prayed day and night to refine the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, possibly in order to borrow the power of the Great Tomb.

The Emperor's Tomb contains the Emperor's Corpse; only a Great Emperor can forge the Imperial Weapon; even the Emperor's Corpse is an Emperor!

Hmm... it's also possible that the ancient sage Yao Guang truly believed I could do it.

It has to be said that the appearance of the Bronze Immortal Palace really made Qin Sheng eager to go inside and explore.

Who could resist the urge to try their luck at becoming an immortal?
The primordial energy of all things is secondary. Qin Sheng is not yet capable of refining more immortal materials for his coffin, and the primordial energy used in his banner is already sufficient.

The secrets that may be hidden inside the Immortal Palace are even more intriguing: the Ruthless Great Emperor, prehistoric remnants...

Of course, if Qin Sheng were alone, he would have turned around and left after seeing the Bronze Immortal Palace. This was something that Saint Master Qin would only look at but not touch.

But isn't the little girl here too?

He can use the young girl to command the older girl, and control the ruthless sects of the world.

Even without that sacred body, I can still penetrate deep into the Bronze Immortal Palace!

"Big brother, the baby is gone." The little girl pouted.

“No, it’s still there,” Qin Sheng said, withdrawing his gaze.

"Daughter, there's a bronze palace across the street, can you see it?"

“I see it! It wasn’t here before!” the little girl nodded.

Because when you came last time, the Bronze Immortal Palace was covered by the Mother Qi of All Things.

The ruthless person left the primordial energy of all things in the Immortal Palace, but did not seal it away. This thing would often crawl in and out of that hole, like a loach.

"This is the Bronze Immortal Palace..." Qin Sheng introduced the little girl to her former home, and then asked with a smile.

"Nannan, would you like to go inside and take a look? Your brother and I went in before, but we were too weak back then and couldn't explore much."

The little girl's eyes sparkled. "Are we going on an adventure with big brother? I want to go!"

"Alright, I'll take you in." Qin Sheng nodded. If the Empress were alive today, she wouldn't blame him for trespassing into her boudoir.

It's truly a woman's fate that she can't defy.

The Bronze Immortal Palace roams the depths of the Eastern Wilderness year-round. In the original timeline, it will be another twenty or thirty years before the Ruthless Emperor's Tomb appears. Qin Sheng is unsure whether the Immortal Palace will slip away to another place during this period.

Therefore, now that this opportunity has arisen, we should seize it.

You may go to the Great Immortal Nangong, and you may also go to Sheng!

Qin Sheng flew towards the Bronze Immortal Palace with Xiao Nannan and Dou Dou, only the light from the spirit insects could illuminate their way.

The celestial palace is magnificent, mostly hidden in darkness, like a primordial beast or a prehistoric sacred mountain, vast and ancient, and very awe-inspiring.

At the top of the Immortal Palace, the hole that the ruthless man had once punched was clearly visible. Qin Sheng led Xiao Nannan and the others down from there.

The passage was uneven, as if it had been smashed open by punches. After walking through the passage, the Gate of Myriad Wonders, engraved with blood-red characters, appeared before Qin Sheng and his companions.

The blood was bright red, as if it were flowing; the single word "Immortal" exuded a murderous intent that would last for eternity, eternal and immortal.

An indescribable charm permeated the vicinity of the Gate of Wonders, and upon contact with it, one felt a profound and mysterious artistic conception.

Everything became hazy and felt extremely unreal. The world was constantly cycling through creation, evolution, prosperity, and eventual destruction.

One strange phenomenon after another appeared: ascension to immortality, creation of the world, and decay of all things. People were captivated by it, their minds sparked with inspiration, and they had moments of sudden enlightenment, as if they had seen through something, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.

"The named is the mother of all things...the nameless is the origin of heaven and earth..."

The profound sounds of the Great Dao resounded in Qin Sheng and Dou Dou's ears, as if expounding the ultimate mysteries of the human world and the ultimate principles of immortality. It stirred up an impulse in their hearts: to get closer, to get closer, and they could attain the Dao and become immortals.

DouDou was completely lost and involuntarily flew up, wanting to touch the word "fairy".

The little girl exclaimed in surprise, quickly grabbed Dou Dou, hugged her in her arms, tapped the fox's head, and lectured her like a little adult.

"DouDou, you're being naughty."

Qin Sheng remained clear-headed throughout, and after hearing Xiao Nannan's words, he sighed softly.

"It indeed contains profound truths about the universe, what a pity."

This is not merely a seductive and bewitching sound; it truly elucidates the origin of the Great Dao. If one can fully comprehend it, one will surely gain something from it.

However, this is difficult, not because of whether one can stay clear-headed, but because it is too profound and far-reaching.

"Big brother, who wrote these words?" The little girl naturally had no idea.

"I don't know either, perhaps it was an invincible emperor."

Staring at the character "仙" (immortal) engraved in blood, Qin Sheng's mind raced.

The Bronze Immortal Palace is very mysterious. No one knows how many parts this immortal artifact is composed of. The Gate of Life and Death and the Chaos Sword Light Path that Qin Sheng, Ye Fan and Xiao Yue Liang experienced are just a few of the challenges.

What's in the other areas is unknown.

However, Qin Sheng wasn't very interested in those places.

The main problem is that although Qin Sheng was with Xiao Nannan, the mechanisms of the Bronze Immortal Palace itself lacked sentience and wouldn't recognize people. This immortal artifact also lacked a spirit, and its rigid, trigger-based mechanisms would be very dangerous if they were to activate.

Nangong Daxian had a group of living fossils as sacrifices, but Qin Sheng could only rely on himself.

Qin Sheng's first target was the world behind the Gate of Myriad Wonders, after all, it was the place where the Ruthless Man had secluded himself for many years, so it was relatively safe and secure.

Even if you don't acknowledge me, you should at least acknowledge the children, right? And the Gate of All Wonders is undoubtedly the core of the Bronze Immortal Palace.

"Master, it's so dangerous here." DouDou's face was full of solemnity, her body was tense, and her snow-white fox fur was almost standing on end.

A three-year-old demon venturing into a dungeon like the Bronze Immortal Palace is indeed quite challenging.

"It's okay, I'm here. I'll protect you and Nannan."

Qin Sheng first put the dormant Undying Emperor's Skin into the Purple Gourd to temporarily suppress it in place of the Devouring Demon Canopy. Then, with the Demon Canopy on his head, he walked into the Gate of Myriad Wonders.

In situations like this, it's best to bring out the "ruthless one".

Of course, during his encounter with the Gate of Myriad Wonders, Qin Sheng did not touch the word "Immortal," as that thing was the most terrifying, and touching it would surely lead to death.

Behind the Gate of Myriad Wonders lies a hidden world, a realm of profound mystery. The ground here is still cast in bronze, but there is no limit above, as high and distant as the starry sky, with no end in sight on either side.

When Nangong Zheng and his group came in last time, they couldn't find out if this world had boundaries, like another universe.

The inner world of a celestial artifact is undoubtedly extremely vast.

The moment Qin Sheng stepped inside, he felt a terrifying aura and pressure that threatened to shatter his body and spirit.

The Devouring Demon's canopy trembled, and dark light descended, isolating those auras as much as possible.

"There's blood!" the little girl exclaimed.

There were many bloodstains on the ground of this place, just like the blood of the immortal outside, bright red, as if flowing.

In addition, there were some scattered pieces of body parts, not many of which could be identified as belonging to any part of the body, stuck together with the blood-stained white clothes.

This thing is terrifying. Its killing intent spans through time and space. Even before getting close, it sends chills down your spine. Just looking at it is like falling into an ice cave.

"Did someone die here?" The little girl hid behind Qin Sheng, a little scared.

"A great emperor once cultivated here, but he encountered problems and his body was torn to pieces." Qin Sheng stared intently at the pieces of the corpse.

This is a body part of a Heavenly Emperor, its value is self-evident, and whoever can refine it will surely gain tremendous benefits.

However, this is just something to think about. Qin Sheng would never dare to do such a thing, as the ruthless man's body parts are not the Azure Emperor's heart.

Even if you don't take it inside and squeeze it out, just touching it will surely turn it into pus and blood, leaving no way out.

"What a pity, what a pity," Qin Sheng sighed inwardly.

I really want to devour the progenitor!
Qin Sheng began to move around in this world. He carefully avoided the blood and corpses on the ground, fearing that after he "ascended" to the immortal artifact space, he would die suddenly from accidentally stepping on a drop of blood.

Qin Sheng didn't even approach these things, because the aura they emitted was too fierce.

When Nangong Da Neng brought the living fossils in to fight against the immortal, none of the living fossils touched the fragments of the emperor's corpse. They only got a little too close before collapsing because they couldn't withstand the pressure.

It's terrifying.

On the ground not far away, there was a wooden stump about the size of a futon, from which blood and body parts could be seen scattered.

Qin Sheng already had a picture in his mind.

The ruthless person who was sitting cross-legged here, striving to transform, suddenly exploded with a bang, his body shattered into pieces, and then perhaps slept for a long time afterward.

When she woke up, she was faced with the three great questions of life: Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?
After that, he dragged his broken body out of the Gate of Myriad Wonders in a daze, and then broke through the Bronze Immortal Palace to leave.

If you can't figure out the answer, use your fists to find it!

Qin Sheng stared at the futon, a look of surprise gradually appearing on his face. "This is... the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree?"

The coffin of the Immortal Emperor was made from this Immortal Divine Tree. Qin Sheng had personally cut it and was very familiar with it, so he recognized it at a glance.

However, upon closer reflection, it's clear that for someone with such formidable strength, cutting off a piece of the trunk of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree from the Undying Mountain for meditation and cultivation would be no problem at all; it's a basic requirement.

Besides being made from ancient tea trees, this wooden stump is also inlaid with a ring of nine gemstones on its side, each a different color.

Qin Sheng observed carefully and was greatly surprised at the end.

"Divine Jade?"

There are no gods in the world, but there are peerless powerhouses who are like gods and demons, and the Holy Spirit Clan is, objectively speaking, the most sacred.

During the gestation of a Holy Spirit, a kind of Great Dao essence, known as Divine Jade, may be born.

It is not a weapon, nor can it be ingested, but it is the embodiment of the Dao. Possessing a piece of divine jade allows one to become more in sync and closer to the universe.

This kind of thing is actually of no help to the Great Emperor's cultivation. The Great Emperor is in harmony with the will of Heaven and controls all the ways. He is already the master of Heaven and Earth. Moreover, no matter how strong the effect of the Divine Jade is, it cannot surpass the Enlightened Ancient Tea Tree. But it is really too rare.

The birth of a divine jade depends entirely on luck and has nothing to do with the strength of the holy spirit. Even ten perfected holy spirits may not necessarily be accompanied by a divine jade.

It's truly unbelievable that such a ruthless person found nine pieces of divine jade.

"As expected of... the one who destroyed the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land." Qin Sheng sighed, seriously suspecting that this was something that a ruthless person had plundered from the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land.

As for why Nangong Daneng didn't take this thing away?
Because the wooden stump was imbued with imperial might and contained a piece of ruthless flesh, the powerful Nangong had no ability to touch it.

"The more I look at this thing, the more I feel a connection with it." Qin Sheng was very fond of this item, but he couldn't think of a way to obtain it for the time being.

It's impossible to shatter it with the Devouring Demon Canopy, who knows if that would cause the Ruthless Man's flesh and blood to mutate, or cause the Demon Canopy to move.

As Qin Sheng strolled around, he saw another pit in the ground, with wisps of the divine medicine's aura still lingering.

"The True Dragon Elixir of Immortality should have been rooted here back then... There should also be immortal soil here, but it was probably taken away by someone beforehand."

Divine medicines also need a suitable environment to nourish them, such as "soil" like the Dragon Nest or the Forbidden Land of the Ancient Wilderness. It's impossible for them to take root in hard bronze. Otherwise, there would be no need for a ruthless person to dig a pit for a divine medicine.

However, besides Nangong and his group, there were other people who entered the world behind the Gate of Myriad Wonders in much earlier times. That person even dared to carry out the remains of a ruthless man, so the immortal soil for planting divine medicines would probably not be spared.

This is arguably the easiest treasure to obtain in this area.

In another direction, there is a ghostly face mark on the ground that seems to be both crying and laughing, its sorrow tinged with sunlight, its meaning eternal and timeless, transcending ancient times.

Most people in the world don't even know whether the Ruthless Great Emperor is male or female, but they know very well that this is her mark. When they see the ghost face, they know that it is related to the Ruthless Great Emperor.

The little girl looked at the ghost face mark and said curiously, "Big brother, this face is the same as the one on the lid."

"Because they were all made by the same person," Qin Sheng replied.

"I know, it's the Ruthless Emperor you all often talk about!"

The girl is clever.

This world bears the traces of many ruthless people. After all, they are Heavenly Emperor-level figures, and any action they take can leave an indelible mark for eternity.

Besides the medicine pit and the ghost face mark, there is also a stone tablet with many messy patterns carved on it. These patterns seem to be left by the ruthless person during his usual cultivation, and they are not systematic.

Unfortunately, it was also splattered with imperial blood, obscuring most of the content. The murderous intent was boundless and could not be comprehended; only some corners and edges still had some incomplete patterns that were relatively clear.

Qin Sheng watched carefully, gradually becoming engrossed.

The broken patterns do not carry secret techniques or ancient scriptures, but rather the Dao.

"ah!"

A moment later, a scream suddenly rang out. Qin Sheng quickly turned his head and saw that his scalp tingled.

While he was studying the broken patterns on the stone tablet, the little girl ran over to the ghost face mark and touched it.

Hey, what are you doing!
Qin Sheng quickly went over and took the little girl's hand. "Little girl, are you alright?"

He knew the little girl would be fine, but Qin Sheng couldn't show that he knew that.

Besides, the little girl will be fine, but Qin Sheng is afraid he might die here!
"It's okay, big brother," the little girl said, her face showing excitement.

"After touching this ghost face, you can see a person!"

Ancestor, don't scare me. I'm young and can't take a scare.

“Yes, Master, I saw it too!” DouDou chimed in.

Hearing this, Qin Sheng felt relieved. If even Dou Dou could experience something, it probably wasn't dangerous. After thinking for a moment, he carefully reached out and touched the ghost face.

Let me taste it to see if it's salty or not.

The next second, the world spun, the universe exploded, and everything seemed to return to chaos. A white-clad figure appeared before Qin Sheng. He could only see her back. She was carving a ghost face on the bronze ground, her movements slow, as if she were recalling something.

"Not for the sake of becoming an immortal..."

A long sigh rang out, but it stopped after only four words. Then all the strange phenomena disappeared, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

"Did the Ruthless Great Emperor's state of mind and will manifest at that time?" Qin Sheng guessed, "The Great Emperor's will can last for eternity."

But after Qin Sheng withdrew from that strange phenomenon, the Devouring Demon Canopy suddenly stirred. It seemed to be aroused by the ruthless will on the ghost face mark. The ghost face on the canopy showed signs of breaking out, and tears seemed to be flowing from the corners of its eyes.

A surge of dark light erupted, spreading across the land. The power of the Devouring Demon Canopy resonated with the aura here, and then…

Blood and body parts on the ground flew up and rushed towards the location of the Devouring Demon's canopy. From Qin Sheng's perspective, this was an immeasurable killing intent surging in, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to crack.

It was as if a great emperor was attacking him!
Fortunately, the killing intent of these body parts and blood subsided after they approached him, and they all eventually entered the Devouring Demon's Cover.

Qin Sheng: "..."

The imperial weapon, where the ruthless man's primordial spirit slumbers, contains his very essence...

Leaf, the Ruthless Great Emperor is truly about to revive within me.
