Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 176 Moon Palace
Yao Xi's results were quite satisfactory.

She reached the end of the Holy Light Body Refining Path without seeking Qin Sheng's help.

This is normal. After all, she is one of the most outstanding among the generations of Yao Guang Saintesses. It's impossible that she doesn't even have the ability to pass the first test.

The end of the first level is a stone platform, not illuminated by holy light. When a person sits here, a vigorous vitality emanates from the platform, nourishing their very essence.

"This is a platform crafted from the Stone of Life, containing boundless vitality. Cultivate here first to maximize the effects of the Holy Light Body Refinement," Qin Sheng reminded Yao Xi.

"The next challenge will be to refine your divine sense, which is your forte, and you will be able to handle it with even greater ease."

"Holy Son, how do you know my divine sense is stronger?" Yao Xi asked in surprise.

"Has a slight understanding of the secrets of heaven."

I don't concern myself with trivial matters, and I don't need to concern myself with important ones.

"You have such abilities? Then how many years do you think I can live, Holy Son?"

"I think you have the appearance of a celestial being."

Yao Xi pondered for a moment, as if making a decision. While absorbing the life force from the Life Platform, she said:
“When I was a child, I actually had a chance encounter. Because I was playing, I ran into an abandoned ancient cave in the holy site, and inside I found a mysterious palace called the Moon Palace.”

"The Moon Palace entered my sea of ​​consciousness, and over the past ten years, it has subtly nourished my original divine consciousness, giving me a divine consciousness power far exceeding that of others in the same realm, making it extremely powerful."

"Moreover, as long as I leave a wisp of my divine consciousness in the Moon Palace, even if the other divine consciousnesses are destroyed, they will not affect that wisp of divine consciousness, thus saving my life."

"The Moon Palace is a secret treasure, very mysterious. I still can't see through its details. I've even read through the books in the Holy Land, but I still haven't been able to find out the origin of the Moon Palace."

This is Yao Xi's biggest secret, which she reveals at this moment.

“Holy Son, you are knowledgeable and have great fortune. Could you please take a look at that Moon Palace for me? Perhaps you can recognize its origin.”

Qin Sheng was somewhat surprised. "The Moon Palace exists in your sea of ​​consciousness. If you want me to see it, I'll have to let my divine sense in."

"If I have any ill intentions, given the difference in our strength, you won't have a chance to fight back."

The primordial spirit or original divine consciousness is the most important thing for a cultivator. Once it is destroyed, even a true immortal descending to earth cannot save it.

Allowing other cultivators into one's sea of ​​consciousness is extremely dangerous.

"I believe in the Holy Son."

"Okay, I'll take a look."

Qin Sheng's consciousness entered Yao Xi's brow and entered her sea of ​​consciousness.

This is a pure world. Yao Xi's figure appears beside Qin Sheng, and she summons the Moon Palace.

The enormous palace, shrouded in moonlight, seemed ethereal and otherworldly, shrouded in a hazy mist.

The space beneath the Moon Palace was completely suppressed, and even time seemed to stand still.

"I cannot refine it to make it acknowledge me as its master."

Yao Xi was somewhat disappointed. "For the past ten years or so, I have only been able to passively accept its nurturing. Such suppressive power can only take effect in the areas where the Moon Palace naturally fluctuates. I cannot control it."

The fact that an unclaimed treasure could make Yao Xi's spiritual sense stand out from the crowd, far surpassing others in the same realm, shows just how unpredictable this object truly is.

Cultivating one's spiritual consciousness is far more difficult than cultivating one's physical body and divine power; every bit of improvement is precious.

With such an opportunity, Yao Xi's future cultivation is destined to be very smooth. No wonder she is still alive and kicking six thousand years later in the original timeline, showing no signs of aging.

Those who can leave their mark in this golden age are no ordinary people.

Qin Sheng carefully observed the Moon Palace, even touching it closely, and finally he said:

"Can I go in and have a look?"

"can."

When Qin Sheng's wisp of divine consciousness entered the Moon Palace, it was vast and seemed boundless, filled with a kind of lunar essence that nourished the divine consciousness even more.

The palace walls are covered with many mysterious and unfathomable Taoist patterns that no one can understand.

This surprised Qin Sheng. "It's truly a treasure."

“If the Holy Son trusts me, he can leave a part of his divine consciousness in the Moon Palace, which will benefit his primordial spirit.” Yao Xi followed him in.

Qin Sheng laughed, "If I agree, then your life and death will be in my hands."

Although this is Yao Xi's territory, the gap between the two is too great, and the outsider can completely suppress the local bully.

"With the Holy Son's strength, if he wanted to attack me, whether in my sea of ​​consciousness or outside, I would have no power to resist."

Qin Sheng understood that Yao Xi had completely sided with him.

The holy sons and daughters of the various holy sites may appear to be a group, but in reality, they have always been in competition with each other.

In places like the Purple Mansion Holy Land, the Holy Maiden is too powerful, and the Holy Son has always been suppressed, which makes him very unhappy and resentful.

After all, this concerns the position of the Holy Lord.

The struggle for the crown prince has always been like this.

Yao Xi certainly can't compete with Qin Sheng for anything, but there's a difference between not competing and completely surrendering.

Qin Sheng looked around the Moon Palace and said, "I can't see through this place either. Its origin must be extraordinary. You should make good use of it."

If Qin Sheng can't see through something now, it must be of a high grade.

"I will pass on the secret of the previous word to you, hoping it will help you master this treasure."

The combination of the Primordial Mystic Treasure and the Secret of the Primordial Spirit might bring about extraordinary changes for Yao Xi.

Yao Xi was pleasantly surprised, but then said with some difficulty:

“But unlike Fellow Daoist Ye, I cannot give you, Holy Son, an equal return.”

"I don't care about these things. Ye Zi and I share secret techniques and treasures not to gain benefits from each other, but simply because of our friendship."

Qin Sheng shook his head. "It's just a secret technique. Just take it. It was given to you by Wang Teng anyway."

Yao Xi has been serving me diligently all these years, like a fixed NPC, appearing whenever I need her. Even if she hasn't done anything outstanding, she has certainly put in the effort, so it's only fair to reward her.

Ye Fan was willing to share the Nine Secrets and the Emperor's Scripture with his other friends, so Qin Sheng naturally wouldn't be stingy either.

In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, there is no situation where a person becomes weaker or develops a weakness after their secret techniques are revealed. The truly invincible one is always human.

However, Qin Sheng's cultivation speed was too fast, and his position was too high. Unlike Ye Fan, who could go on life-and-death adventures with his peers, there were very few people who could become his friends.

Upon closer reflection, Yao Xi really was one of the few friends he made with Beidou.

After secretly transmitting the word "qian" to Yao Xi, Qin Sheng left her sea of ​​consciousness.

"My Holy Son, from now on I will obey your every command!"

"Oh? What if I'm actually a bad person?"

"Then I'll go with you!"

"Ha, I'll remember that."

The two entered the second stage.

This place is a sea of ​​fire. Upon closer inspection, the flames here are not real fire, but rather a spiritual fire that originates from nothingness and burns in the darkness.

In the sea of ​​fire, there was a road paved with black stone slabs, stretching straight ahead.

"Refining the spirit with illusory fire is more cruel, more painful, and more dangerous than tempering the body with sacred fire," Qin Sheng said softly.
“Once the divine consciousness is damaged, it is much more difficult to recover than the physical body.”

Fortunately, they both have some skills.

The illusory fire climbed onto the two people's bodies, but it did not cause any damage to their clothes or flesh, and went straight into their sea of ​​consciousness.

A wisp of illusory fire surged in, igniting the divine sense, but it did not affect the primordial spirit and original divine sense for the time being, but rather proceeded gradually.

With each step forward, the power of the illusory fire increases, bringing a pain that penetrates deep into the soul.

Yao Xi's consciousness was not weak, but she needed to resist the pain with her will. As the false fire burned, her face gradually turned pale.

Qin Sheng, on the other hand, remained calm and composed.

His consciousness spanned multiple worlds, simultaneously receiving and processing the affairs of twenty different versions of himself. Various strange experiences and other factors honed Qin Sheng's will to a terrifying degree.

The third pass of the Heavenly Road is an area where stone statues stand.

These stone statues are in human and animal forms, such as dragons, phoenixes, and golden-winged roc.

"This level is to hone and test our comprehension and combat capabilities," Qin Sheng explained regarding the Stone Statue Level.

“Once a stone statue is selected, it will perform magic, and what it demonstrates is exactly what the traces in the initial area make up.”

"We must learn from and draw upon the methods of the stone statues, combining and applying the insights we gained from our initial understanding in the initial area to confront the stone statues."

During this process, a magic array will suppress Qin Sheng and Yao Xi's strength, preventing them from using any other secret techniques or profound methods. They can only use what they comprehended in the initial area.

The attacks on the stone statues are also related to those insights, and will not go beyond this scope.

This challenge aims to force those who enter to unleash greater potential, to comprehend and learn, to make the wisdom and methods of the sages as useful as possible, and even to innovate and create something of their own.

However, if you are outmatched in this process, the stone statue's attack could seriously injure you, or even lead to worse consequences.

By then, it might be too late to admit defeat; you could really die.

"In the nine-story stone statue area, you must defeat nine stone statues on each floor and defeat eighty-one opponents to pass the level."

Looking at the densely packed stone statues, Qin Sheng felt a surge of fighting spirit.

If he used all his strength, he could easily sweep through the enemy lines. But this fighting style, which only allowed him to fight with the insights gained from the initial area, piqued his interest.

Qin Sheng hoped that these stone statues would give him a surprise and put some pressure on him.

"The true dragon, the phoenix, and the stone statues wearing the ancient Yao Guang robes are the strongest. Choose carefully," Qin Sheng instructed Yao Xi.

"Ah."

The two went their separate ways and arrived at the first level of the stone statue area. Yao Xi chose to play it safe and selected a golden lion statue.

The golden lion's stone skin immediately turned into flesh and blood, becoming no different from a real living creature.

Qin Sheng, on the other hand, directly chose the phoenix, one of the strongest stone statues.

I'll call you the Immortal Emperor!
The phoenix statue also turned to flesh and blood, its aura rising in layers, and at the same time, Dao patterns burst forth from its eyes, evolving into a Dao diagram.

"Flame, destruction, death..."

A surge of inspiration welled up in Qin Sheng's mind, and he combined a simple spell.

boom!
A massive tremor shook the stone statue area, and a battle erupted there, with Qin Sheng and Yao Xi both beginning their own fight.

The third level, the fourth level...

Combat strength, comprehension, willpower, Dao heart...

Many aspects of a cultivator's life are covered in the challenges that follow on the Heavenly Road, and these challenges are extremely difficult and increasingly dangerous as you progress.

In the latter level, the phantom of the sage's power appears, personally fighting against the younger generation. Of course, it is impossible for the sage to display his power.

Even so, it is still terrifying.

From a high vantage point, every move of the sage contains profound Daoist wisdom that transcends the ordinary.

When someone at a higher level seals their cultivation and fights someone at a lower level, it may seem fair, but in reality, the gap is still quite large.

For Qin Sheng, things were actually fine. He was perfect in every way, even surpassing the definition of perfection in ordinary people, and he was not afraid of anyone.

But it was much harder for Yao Xi. For example, in the Stone Statue Zone, her understanding from the initial zone was not enough to pass this level. Fortunately, Qin Sheng was there to guide her and even personally demonstrated the magic for her, leading her to improve.

To be honest, this kind of weight training actually had some effect on Qin Sheng.

I should have brought Weiwei along too, so we could have taken on two of them together.

Yao Xi was also very determined. She never complained about the hardship or the fatigue. Even when she was beaten up and had black eyes, she showed no intention of giving up and continued to follow Qin Sheng firmly.

Clearly, now that she was inside, Yao Xi didn't want to disappoint Qin Sheng.

I can't let the Holy Son look down on me!
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
