Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 183 He was still just a child

Every encounter in the world is a reunion after a long separation.

But I don't want to run into them again at this time!

Duan De was roaring inside.

"Fellow Daoist, don't look so gloomy." Qin Sheng frowned.

"It's such a joy to see you and my brother again, aren't you happy?"

Duan De gritted his teeth and said, "I'm happy you..."

"As long as you're happy." Qin Sheng interrupted the unscrupulous Taoist priest with a wave of his hand.

"We've been waiting for you here for several days and have prepared some gifts for you. This is our warmest welcome and a token of our appreciation."

Qin Sheng pointed to the magic array set up by the Black Emperor and laughed:

"Let me give you a brief introduction to the Wushi Killing Array. You should have heard of it, although this one is very simple and rudimentary, and doesn't have much power."

The Great Emperor's Killing Array is not so easy to set up; it requires high levels of materials, cultivation, and mastery of Dao patterns. What the Black Emperor created is actually a super simplified version.

It's fair to say it's all show and no substance, but it's enough that it looks convincing.

"But it's alright. You should be able to feel the fiery power contained within the killing formation. This represents the burning brotherhood between us!"

Duan De's face froze, his teeth clenched.

Qin Sheng then introduced the item in Ye Fan's hand, "The black gourd. I've explained its origin to you before, so I won't go into detail now."

"An ancient imperial weapon that is almost scrapped is not worth mentioning."

Duan De's frozen expression began to return to calm.

Qin Sheng then pointed to the dog bell around Black Emperor's neck and said:
"The bell that the Great Emperor Wushi refined for the Black Emperor is not a good thing; it only carries the Great Emperor's concern for the Black Emperor."

A faint smile appeared on Duan Deping's face.

Finally, there was the little girl standing next to Qin Sheng, holding up the Devouring Demon Canopy, her big eyes blinking.

Just as Qin Sheng was about to introduce this most important person, Duan De grabbed his hand with a bright smile.

"Good brothers, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but there's no need for that."

"You fatso, you should know what to do next."

Black Emperor slammed the bell and shouted sternly, "Immediately, right now, explain everything clearly, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Give me ninety-nine pounds of the one hundred pounds of source stones, and don't touch the remaining pound!"

"We're all brothers, don't get so worked up..."

"How could I possibly be brothers with a scoundrel like you!" The Black Emperor was arrogant, completely disregarding Duan De.

Four against one, the advantage is on my side!

Duan De was furious and wished he could bite the Black Emperor a few times.

Damn it, those two guys surnamed Qin robbed me, at least they were willing to call me brother and do some pretense.

But you bastard, you're not even willing to pretend, are you?
"Black Emperor, don't be so irritable," Qin Sheng reprimanded Black Emperor.

“We have been through thick and thin together, and our bond is stronger than gold. Fellow Daoist, please tell me your story first. Don’t worry, I am a kind person and I will not do anything to you.”

“However…” Ye Fan continued.

"If you're just spouting nonsense, then things are not so easy to say."

Now that things had come to this, Duan De knew there was no point in hiding it any longer. He sighed and said:

"The tombs of the saints are real, but there are two, one in the light and one in the dark, one fake and one real, one yang and one yin. The former is an empty tomb, specifically used to deceive the world, while the latter is the real place where the dead rest in peace."

"The real tomb is hidden very deep and its defenses are impeccable. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to enter. However, the two tombs are connected in terms of terrain."

"If the fake grave is discovered, the real grave will also show flaws, giving others an opportunity to exploit it."

Qin Sheng nodded. He had already guessed this situation. The interplay of yin and yang, reality and illusion, truth and falsehood, is a very common and classic technique in the tomb raiding world, and it is a tried and true method.

Name and roll call of prison youth.

"So you used the Holy Lands to break through the fake tomb and create an opportunity for yourself to enter the real tomb." Ye Fan's face darkened, and he even tricked him out of his money.

His 500,000 jin of Origin Stones!
“I also wanted to do this secretly, but the appearance of a fake grave would cause a huge commotion, and I couldn’t hide it, so I had no choice but to resort to this tactic.”

Duan De, eager to claim credit, said, "But tell me, didn't I trick the Holy Lands for you? Even if I didn't do anything meritorious, I certainly put in the effort, right? Is this how you treat me?"

"If it weren't for your hard work, you would have been killed the moment you showed your face!" Black Emperor glared.

In fact, according to Black Emperor's intention, he wanted to take down Duan De directly without giving him a chance to explain.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to just strip Duan De naked and take him away?
However, Qin Sheng felt that this was too extreme and rejected the Black Emperor's suggestion.

Duan De added another curse to Hei Huang in his mind: You dead dog, you wait!

"Why didn't you come to me this time and send me to the fake grave so you could find an opportunity to scam me?"

Duan De looked humiliated. "You're in seclusion on the Heavenly Road, at a crucial time. I'm happy to help you, why would I want to trick you?"

"Immortal Qin, you are insulting me!"

Qin Sheng nodded and said, "I understand. You can't find me because I'm inside the Heavenly Road."

Duan De: "..."

That's exactly right. He wanted to use the fake tomb of the sage to trap Qin Sheng, but that fatso Yao Guang Tian Lu couldn't get in, and no one knew when he would come out.

Left with no other choice, they had to let Qin Sheng go.

"And why did you come here alone to the real grave?"

Qin Sheng was puzzled. "Given your past personality, if the fake grave didn't trick me, you should have taken me to the real grave so that I could get revenge for the past through the dangers inside."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Duan De decisively said, "Given our relationship, how could I let you take such a risk knowing it's dangerous?"

"I choose to bear all the danger and bloodshed myself; that's what brotherhood is all about!"

Qin Sheng nodded again, "I understand. The dangers in this saint's tomb are within your capabilities. You don't want me to go in and share the benefits."

"After all, I have an imperial weapon. Once I'm taken in, it's hard to say who will be the final winner."

Duan De: "..."

Although Qin is despicable and shameless, a bastard who deserves to be struck by lightning, I must say, he truly understands me.

Duan De wasn't stupid. He had been tricked by Qin Sheng before at the Ruthless Man's Dojo, the Ruthless Man's Creation Site, and the Ancestral Tomb of Ten Thousand Spirits.

Every time he took Qin Sheng anywhere, an accident would inevitably occur, causing his plans to fall apart completely, and the treasure that should have belonged to him would be stolen away.

Once, twice, and even thrice, Duan De certainly wouldn't make the same mistake a fourth time; he wasn't intentionally acting as Qin Sheng's money-giving boy. Therefore, ever since the Wanling Ancestral Tomb incident, Duan De resolved that unless absolutely necessary, he would never invite Qin Sheng to the tomb, lest he suffer the consequences again.

It's obvious that Master Duan is quite clever.

But who would have thought that this bastard would still trick me this time!

"How did you find me?" Duan De asked, voicing the question that had been bothering him.

This development isn't right!
“Fellow Daoist, no one in this world understands you better than I do.”

Qin Sheng said earnestly, "I know not only about this life of yours, but also about your previous life, your life before that, and even your eight lifetimes."

Duan De felt that Qin Sheng was cursing.

“I planted a tracking device on you beforehand and followed you to the Crimson Origin Ancient City.”

Duan De's face darkened. "You don't trust me that much?"

He underestimated the Qin family; they were incredibly ruthless.

Where is the trust between people?
"Who can trust you?" Black Emperor said sarcastically.

"But I clearly disguised myself in the Ancient City of Chiyuan, so your tracking methods should have been concealed!"

Qin Sheng smiled without saying a word. "I have my daughter. What do you have?"
Bring forth the Heavenly Treasure!
"I don't need to tell you what to do next, do I?" Qin Sheng glanced at Duan De's pocket, his implication quite clear.

Duan De felt like vomiting blood. He complained, "We went on the adventure together before. It's one thing for you to take the treasure, but after all, everyone contributed."

"But you didn't do anything this time, yet you still want a share of the treasure. That doesn't make sense, does it?"

"You fatso, how dare you say that? Didn't you put in any effort? Did you just throw my 500,000 jin of Originium at the dogs?!"

Ye Fan was extremely annoyed. "You tricked me first!"
"Woof! What's wrong with the dog?" Black King said indignantly, then bit Duan De directly.

"Hand over my treasure!"

"Black Emperor, stop making trouble. Let's all try to maintain peace."

Qin Sheng smiled at Duan De, reassuring him, "Fellow Daoist, don't be afraid. I'm on your side and won't let them do anything reckless."

Everyone here is a civilized person. Before Duan De came out, Qin Sheng and the others had already discussed it. One of them would play the bad cop and the other the good cop, using threats and inducements to coerce and entice Dezi.

"You're right. We didn't contribute anything this time, so we really shouldn't share your treasure."

Duan Dexin's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.

"However, fellow Daoist, you previously cheated Ye Zi out of 500,000 jin of source, which hurt Ye Zi's young heart."

Qin Sheng pointed at Ye Fan, "How can Ye Zi bear it if you deceive him like this?"

"He's still a child!"

"These past few days, Ye Zi has been waking up crying every night. She has developed a demonic influence. Fellow Daoist, what do you think we should do to resolve this?"

Duan De fell silent.

Sure enough, the person with the darkest heart and the thickest skin is always the same person.

"I didn't get anything inside. Although this is the true tomb of a saint, the saint's corpse and saint's weapons are not inside."

Duan De took out a piece of cloth and handed it over.

"This sage was born into an ancient family more than 100,000 years ago. After his death, the family suffered a great calamity and was eventually wiped out."

"The truly precious treasures have long been consumed or divided up."

There were some small characters on the cloth, recording what Duan De had said. This was left by the descendants of that noble family, and the immoral Taoist priest used it to locate the sage's tomb.

This disappointed Qin Sheng and his group, who had hoped to snatch—no, to obtain—a sacred weapon as compensation for their disappointment.

"These are three weapons at the Sea of Wheels realm. Consider them my compensation to Ye Fan," Duan De said generously.

"Are you trying to fob off a beggar?" Black Emperor glared at Duan De.

"That's all."

The little girl took Qin Sheng's hand, as if she had something to say. Qin Sheng picked her up, and the little one whispered something in his ear.

Qin Sheng remained expressionless, handed the little girl to Ye Fan, then reached out, patted Duan De on the shoulder, and pulled him over.

"Fellow Daoist, do you have any clues about the two small fish, one black and one white?"

Duan De was stunned and immediately looked at the little girl.

What the heck is this little guy?

"Dezi, as you can see, I've been doing my best to mediate for you, otherwise Black Emperor's dog mouth would be biting us by now," Qin Sheng said earnestly.

"You need to understand my good intentions and not put me in a difficult position."

Duan De lowered his head in thought, glancing around at his surroundings. The Boundless Killing Array completely surrounded the area, along with Qin Sheng and his group.

There's no escaping it.

"You fatso, what are you looking at? I think you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!" Black Emperor showed no mercy to Duan De.

"Someone like you deserves a good beating!"

Duan De was furious. This damned dog had been swaggering around ever since he came out.

Duan could tolerate this, but Cao could not!

Duan De transmitted his voice to Qin Sheng, "The most precious treasure I obtained in the tomb is that pair of yin-yang fish. I can give you one-tenth of the yin-yang fish, but I have one condition."

The unscrupulous Taoist priest then explained the function of the Yin-Yang symbol to Qin Sheng, which made his eyes light up.

This thing is destined for me!

"What are the conditions? Tell me."

"Give me the dead dog." Duan De deeply hated the Black Emperor.

Qin Sheng raised an eyebrow. "That won't do. Black Emperor is my beloved friend, my brother."

Duan De felt that these words sounded familiar, as if he had heard them before.

"You have to pay more."

brother?

If you're not going to betray someone, then making brothers is pointless.

ally?

If there is no betrayal, then what is the point of the alliance?

If the Black Emperor suffers any more, Duan De will bear the infamy!
