Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 171 The Duality of Recklessness and Cowardice

The deepest part of the Yao Guang Holy Land.

Here lies a divine city that will never fall, containing the greatest secret of the sacred land, which ordinary people are forbidden to approach.

Not only the Yao Guang Holy Land, but other holy lands and great religions also have similar divine cities within them, which are born and die together with the holy land.

There is much speculation about what exactly is inside this immortal city.

Some say this is something left over from an unknowable era, containing the secrets of immortality.

Some believe that this is the ultimate weapon forged by the Holy Land over generations, capable of destroying everything.

Some people believe that there is an entrance to another world in the divine city.

There are many conflicting opinions, and no definitive conclusion has been reached. No major religion in the holy land has ever come forward to explain it, which makes it even more mysterious.

Today, Qin Sheng and Yao Xi came here.

The ancient city is weathered and exudes an aura that does not belong to this era. It is covered with various mottled marks, as if eroded by time, and also bears the marks of swords and spears.

The city was nameless and unguarded, its gates wide open.

The two went inside, and Qin Sheng immediately felt as if he had crossed a boundary and arrived in another world.

"This is something that was forged in an incredibly ancient era."

Qin Sheng stated with certainty, "There are even remnants of the laws from that era."

Yao Xi looked around. The city was empty, with rows of ancient buildings standing there, but there was no sign of life.

The two seemed to have traveled through time to the beginning of ancient times.

The Heavenly Road is located on the east side of the divine city. There stands a single-story palace with no plaque, but a pattern depicting a winding road.

Upon entering the palace, a towering black vortex silently rotates in the center; this is the entrance to the Yao Guang Heavenly Path Small World.

“Holy Son, let’s go inside,” Yao Xi said.

At this moment, she did not say anything about backing down. As the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang, she also had pride and elegance.

“It has been a long time since any holy son or daughter has been able to pass through the Heavenly Path. We will be the exception.”

Qin Sheng: "When you come out, everyone in the world will know your name."

Yao Xi really wanted to say that, in fact, all parties in the Eastern Wilderness already know about me, the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

But she dared not contradict the Holy Son.

The two stepped into the vortex and arrived in another small world.

There was no open-door killing; what appeared before them was a natural area, full of harmony.

Here, rocks stand tall, and flowers, grasses, and trees abound, some thriving, others withered and decaying.

As you can see, everything in front of them has many fragmented patterns or complete Dao patterns.

"This is the initial area of ​​the Heavenly Road," Qin Sheng said.
"It is a treasure left by the sages of the holy land to their disciples. Every blade of grass, every tree, every stone, and every mountain in front of us has the cultivation insights, secret techniques and inspirations, or other things carved by our predecessors."

Since he was coming to the Heavenly Road, Qin Sheng must have already learned about this place.

"The initial area is completely safe and is a gift from our ancestors to future generations. We hope that future generations can benefit from it."

"But what we find here is closely related to the challenges and crises to come, so we cannot ignore it and must study it carefully."

Qin Sheng looked at Yao Xi and said, "Stay here and meditate for a while."

Deep inside the initial area, there is a winding path paved with various stones, leading deeper into the area. Unfortunately, it is shrouded in mist, and one cannot see what lies beyond.

Leaving the initial area and stepping onto that path marks the true beginning of the extremely dangerous Yao Guang Heavenly Road.

Qin Sheng and Yao Xi separated and each observed the natural scenery of the initial area.

A stone, carved with patterns of several butterflies dancing together, and above it, a lightning bolt pattern.

Qin Sheng sensed a certain artistic conception from the stone.

“Life, new life, destruction… This is what a king left behind. He doesn’t talk about scriptures or expound on mystical methods, but only discusses the meaning of the Tao.”

Throughout the history of Yaoguang Holy Land, from ancient sages to successive holy rulers, all have left behind something here, blessing future generations.

This is the unique foundation of the Holy Land, and one of the reasons why the cultivators of the Holy Land are so powerful.

The resources available to independent cultivators are on a completely different level from those of disciples of holy lands, especially those at the level of holy sons.

In other words, Qin Sheng was too monstrous and too defied the heavens, so many things that the Yao Guang Holy Land had prepared for its holy son were useless to him.

Otherwise, just digesting the essence of the holy land is no simple matter and would require a great deal of effort.

Qin Sheng was extremely talented and had a divine understanding. He strolled through the initial area, observing the wisdom of his predecessors bit by bit.

Sometimes he paused to meditate, sometimes he silently performed the Dharma, gaining much insight. Little by little, inspiration accumulated and settled in his heart, waiting for the moment to erupt.

……

The mortal world.

Two years have passed since Qin Sheng easily defeated the Old Demon of the Joyous Union and assisted the Twin Saints of the Heavenly Star.

During this period, the Great Love Alliance has developed rapidly, its structure has gradually improved, and it has initially gotten on the right track.

All forces, including the Yue Kingdom and the four surrounding kingdoms, have completely become members of the Great Love Alliance.

Even in the distant demonic realm, thanks to the hard work of the Old Demon of the Joyful Union, many Nascent Soul cultivators have become members of Old Ancestor Qin's family.

The fact that the leader of the demonic path has surrendered has had a significant impact on other Nascent Soul cultivators in the demonic path.

What's the point of us resisting?!

The Nascent Soul cultivator is the supreme being of every sect, with everyone above and below serving the Nascent Soul ancestor. Therefore, as long as the demonic Nascent Soul cultivator is dealt with, the cultivators below will naturally be easy to capture.

"Senior brother, in the Chaotic Star Sea, the two Saints have already resolved the internal affairs of the Star Palace."

Linghu Patriarch reported to Qin Sheng, "Now the Star Palace is once again completely under the control of the two fellow Daoists, and is ready to await Senior Brother's instructions at any time."

Due to the geographical environment of the Chaotic Star Sea, the human race can only live on the scattered islands. It is inconvenient for the Star Palace to directly govern them, so in the past, island lords were appointed to govern the world on their behalf.

The two saints had been out of the public eye for a long time, which fueled the thoughts of both the righteous and demonic factions to rebel against the Star Palace. They secretly contacted many Star Palace cultivators, causing unrest among the people.

After the two saints were born, their first task was to reorganize the internal affairs.

As the saying goes, before fighting against the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.

"Just let them do as I said before, with my cultivation taking precedence," Qin Sheng said.
"I studied the ancient teleportation array and found that it is not difficult to build. I plan to build a few more to facilitate travel between Tiannan and Luanxinghai."

"At that time, cultivators from both cultivation worlds will be able to exchange resources and create more value for the Great Love Alliance."

Leaving aside the subsequent ascension of the entire sect, just opening up the Tiannan and Chaotic Star Sea is a blessing for countless cultivators, giving many people the opportunity to advance further.

In Tiannan, Foundation Establishment Pills can only be refined with spiritual herbs and are extremely rare, but in the Chaotic Star Sea, there are Foundation Establishment Pills made from demonic beasts.

In the Chaotic Star Sea, many terrestrial medicinal herbs have disappeared and only exist in ancient books, but Tiannan is the opposite.

If Ancestor Qin said he would take everyone to new heights, then he will definitely do it.

Pull up the medicinal herbs in the ground, and the Ancestor will take you to the Chaotic Star Sea to get some good stuff.

"Senior brother, there is one more thing. Originally, the Blood Forbidden Trial of the seven sects of our Yue Kingdom was going to begin, but now that the Great Love Alliance has been established, should this trial be changed?"

Such trivial matters were not something that the old patriarch Linghu used to pay attention to; he would leave them to the Core Formation cultivators below him.

But now, as the vice leader of the Great Love Alliance, Linghu Laozu is much more active than before. He no longer lies back and starts to do many things personally.

I must let my senior brother see my hard work and achievements, so that he won't forget me when he ascends to the spirit world!

"The Blood Forbidden Trial..."

Qin Sheng carefully recalled an incident from the original story involving Han Li that occurred during this trial, and a plan came to him.

"You can try this method."

Foundation Building Pills are essential for Qi Refining cultivators in the mortal world to break through to the next level. They are extremely precious and belong to the category of strategic resources.

However, the spiritual herbs used to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill are rare, and the three main ingredients have disappeared from the outside world. They can only be found in some special spaces covered by restrictions that have been preserved since ancient times.

The seven sects of Yue Kingdom control such a forbidden area. Every five years, they send their disciples into it to harvest spiritual herbs. However, the disciples often fight to the death inside for the treasures.

Therefore, this place is also known as the Blood Forbidden Land or the Blood Forbidden Trial.

Now, this time has come again. ...

Han Li is currently very troubled because his cultivation progress is not ideal.

After two years of cultivation in Huangfeng Valley, Han Li had a complete understanding of how difficult it was to establish his foundation. That was the true path of a cultivator, and his lifespan was significantly extended.

Those who build a foundation are nothing but ants!
"Given my four spiritual roots, I would need to consume a large number of Foundation Establishment Pills to have any chance of successfully establishing my foundation."

Han Li clenched his fist. "But unless it's a Nascent Soul disciple, even a Core Formation True Person wouldn't be able to provide an unlimited supply of Foundation Establishment Pills to a Qi Refining disciple."

If he wants to become a disciple of Qin Laozu, he must first establish his foundation.

However, to establish a foundation, one must first become a Nascent Soul disciple and obtain a large number of Foundation Establishment Pills from one's master.

Han Li got stuck.

"I can't find the three spiritual herbs for Foundation Establishment Pills anywhere else. The Blood Forbidden Trial is my only chance. Should I go or not?"

Han Li wasn't so desperate to become Qin Sheng's disciple; he was facing a choice regarding the path to immortality.

One step to the foundation, one step to the world.

Even without Qin Sheng being his disciple, he had no choice but to go to the forbidden area; it was the only way for him to obtain the main ingredient for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

As for the Demon Core and Foundation Establishment Pill of the Chaotic Star Sea?
Those things aren't something you can just pick up on the road. Besides, the two cultivation worlds have only just established diplomatic relations, so the quotas for mutual exchanges are extremely precious.

Finally, Han Li made a decision.

go with!
"But my strength is too weak. Although the Blood Forbidden Trial has rules under the instructions of Ancestor Qin, it is still a place that depends on individual strength."

After much deliberation, Han Li decided to buy several powerful magical artifacts to arm himself.

In the mortal world, especially during the Qi Refining stage, fighting against opponents of higher levels is very common, and a high-level magic weapon can be enough to turn the tide of battle.

But a new problem arose: Han Li didn't have any spirit stones and couldn't afford any magic artifacts.

"Let's accelerate the growth of a few medicinal herbs and then barter for them."

Han Li pondered, "I wonder how those powerful magical artifacts are sold? And how much are the spiritual herbs priced?"

"It's better to be prepared than not, so take a few thousand-year-old medicinal herbs with you."

And so, Han Li took the thousand-year-old spiritual medicine, which was even useful to Nascent Soul cultivators, and went to buy magical artifacts that could be used by Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

That's exactly what Han Li did in the original timeline; that's how the inexperienced Han Li was back then.

He is both cowardly and reckless.

He had the Little Green Bottle to accelerate the growth of countless spiritual herbs, and he obtained spiritual herbs of all ages too easily. As a novice in the cultivation world, he had no concept of how valuable thousand-year-old spiritual herbs really were.

Are thousand-year-old medicinal herbs very precious?

I don't know, this is something I mass-produce, it's just like weeds.

A day later, Han Li returned to his cave with outward composure but inward joy.

"I traded two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs for several top-tier magic artifacts and a talisman treasure. This trip was worthwhile."

Han Li stroked his magical artifact, feeling he had struck gold. He had already begun studying his opponents in the Blood Forbidden Trial.

But the next day, Xie Ya came to see Han Li with strange eyes.

"What did you do? Your senior brother wants to see you."

Han Li's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Ancestor Qin wanted to steal my top-tier magic weapon?

He was brought to Qin Sheng's cave. After Xie Ya left, Old Ancestor Qin looked over.

"Han Li, yesterday Wanbaolou reported to the Great Love Alliance that they received two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. You sold them, didn't you?"

Han Li was restless, not expecting that he had been exposed so easily.

How can Wanbaolou have absolutely no business ethics!

"It was a spiritual herb that I discovered by chance," Han Li explained, forcing a smile.

“Even the most common thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, such as the thousand-year-old Solomon’s Seal, are useful to Nascent Soul cultivators. You never leave the house and have been guarding the medicinal herb garden all day long.”

Qin Sheng remained expressionless. "How come I didn't know? My Yellow Maple Valley's herb garden is already capable of cultivating thousand-year-old herbs."

Han Li's back was soaked with sweat, and he didn't know how to explain it.

No, how could this thousand-year-old herb be so precious?

And the manager of Wanbaolou, you're a real swindler! If Han survives, I'll make you pay for this!
Han Li received a thorough lesson from the cultivation world.

He now regrets it somewhat. After some research, Han Li feels that it would have been better not to go to the Blood Forbidden Trial.

"Do you know what will happen to you if others discover your problems?" Qin Sheng said.
"You will be subjected to a soul search, all your secrets will be revealed, and you will inevitably die in the end."

"Ancestor, I..."

“But I’m different. If you have something you can’t say, you don’t need to explain anything to me.” Qin Sheng interrupted Han Li, stood with his hands behind his back, and continued:

"I am unrivaled in the human realm. Entering the spirit realm and ascending to the immortal realm will be as easy as snapping my fingers. No matter what secrets you have, I don't care."

“I have my own path. I will soar freely across the world and do not bother to covet the secrets of others or seize their opportunities, especially since you are my chosen disciple.”

Han Li was stunned, never expecting to hear such words.

Qin Laozu's style of doing things is still so different from that of the cultivation world.

"I'll only ask you one question," Qin Sheng asked.
"Can you produce other thousand-year-old spiritual herbs? If so, as long as you use these herbs to help me cultivate, no one in the human realm will be able to touch you. In the future, when my entire sect ascends to immortality, you will also have a place."

"Think it over carefully before you answer."

"This disciple is willing to assist the Ancestor in his cultivation."

After much deliberation, Han Li finally nodded; he truly couldn't deny it.

The entire Tiannan region and the Chaotic Star Sea will belong to the Great Love Alliance. Ancestor Qin's fame will spread from the highest mountain in Tiannan to the deepest eye of the Chaotic Star Sea.

Han Li's stubborn denial is pointless; he can't escape anyway.

At that moment, Han Li's heart leaped into his throat.

"Alright, from now on you will be my disciple. Once you have established your foundation, I will publicly accept you as my apprentice. You can tell me anything you need in the future."

Qin Sheng nodded, "I won't investigate how you cultivate the thousand-year-old spiritual herb, and I will keep it a secret for you."

"You go down."

Han Li left numbly, still in a daze. It wasn't until he returned to his cave that he finally snapped out of his daze.

"That's it? Old Ancestor Qin really didn't do anything to me? My life and the little green bottle are both saved?"

Han Li touched his body; he was covered in sweat, completely soaked by Qin Laozu's imposing presence.

"I thought I was going to die this time..."

"Ancestor Qin's temperament is completely different from other cultivators. He is proud, domineering, dignified, upright and honest... unlike those insidious and despicable cultivators who would kill countless people for a little treasure."

"Now, I shouldn't have to worry about anything in Yellow Maple Valley..."

Han Li slumped in his chair, unsure of what the future held, but at least he was safe for now.

As for whether Qin Laozu deliberately lied to lull him into a false sense of security...

Does a Nascent Soul cultivator need to use paralysis to cultivate Qi?

"That's it."

On the other side, Qin Sheng smiled.

In the human realm, if you want to improve your cultivation level the fastest, besides acquiring as many resources as possible, the little green bottle is also indispensable.

Some cultivation resources have already disappeared; no matter how much space you occupy, you won't find them. Only the little green bottle can stimulate their growth.

"With a cheat code like the little green bottle, going out to fight, run dungeons, and escape life and death every day is putting the cart before the horse. Farming is the way to go!"

Qin Sheng has finally completed the last piece of his ascension puzzle!

Ancestor Qin is already studying the adversaries in the spirit world.
