Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 212 I am a kind person
The altar was blood-red, with eight holes on its surface, making it all too obvious what should be placed inside.

The throne was golden, and the mummified corpse in its royal robes exuded an air of nobility, like a sleeping emperor.

To Qin Sheng and Duan De's surprise, the mummified corpse in the imperial robe did not rise from the dead even after they carefully ascended the altar.

After a moment's thought, Duan De said, "We must purify those eight divine pearls here."

Qin Sheng looked at the mummified corpse and said, "If we do that, he should turn into a zombie."

"It doesn't matter. With our combined strength, we can suppress all the zombies." Duan De smiled confidently.

Fake corpse?

He had better pray he didn't lie, so he could at least leave with a whole body.

"But let's wait a moment, to prevent the divine pearl from being..."

Before Duan De could finish speaking, Qin Sheng swiftly flicked out eight divine beads, which landed precisely on the holes.

what did you say?
I can't hear you.

The divine pearl fell into the cave and shone brightly.

At this moment, all the Dao patterns and magic arrays inside the Crimson Pyramid lit up, as if they had been activated.

The eight divine pearls could be seen growing brighter, with wisps of black energy emanating from them. These were the negative forces that restricted cultivators from directly refining them.

"what are you doing?!"

"Didn't you tell me to put them up there for purification?" Qin Sheng asked, puzzled.

Dezi, you're turning the tables on me.

"I told you to wait a moment."

"The magic array here not only has a purifying effect, but it also transmits the power of the divine pearl to the mummified corpse," Duan De said anxiously.

"I need to modify the magic array first to ensure that the divine pearl is not devoured by the dried corpse. If you do it this way and something goes wrong, we will gain nothing!"

Qin Sheng shrugged, "Then what do we do?"

"Let me see if it can still be modified while the magic circle is activated..."

Suddenly, a shattering sound rang out, and cracks appeared on the eight divine pearls.

The divine energy within surged forth like a river bursting its banks, flowing through the magic array and into the mummified corpse in the imperial robe.

It's too late.

Duan De was shocked and cried out in anguish, "My baby!"

He immediately took action to stop it.

In contrast, Qin Sheng remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic.

boom!
The moment Duan De made his move, the previously motionless mummified corpse suddenly erupted, lifting its eyelids to reveal lifeless eyes.

The magic array within the crimson pyramid malfunctioned, unleashing immense pressure as a secret force acted upon the three individuals, attempting to extract their flesh, blood, divine energy, and primordial spirit essence.

"As expected, there's a trap here!" The flames of the bronze lamp in Duan De's hand suddenly shot up, burning fiercely.

Qin Sheng shielded Xiao Nannan behind him and Duan De in front of him, staring at the mummified corpse in the imperial robe.

"Zhenming, I'm going to kill you!"

The mummified corpse didn't move its mouth, yet it let out a roar that made the blood-red gold lettering shake.

"A lingering resentment sealed within the body, a hatred that will never be extinguished."

Qin Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "This is not the tomb of Zhenming Half-Saint, but the tomb of his good friend Jinglong King."

"Zhenming, the half-saint, did indeed want to use this place to become a saint, but he did not directly risk his life. Instead, he chose to use the Dragon King as a furnace to refine the elixir of sainthood!"

Duan De cried out in surprise; he had finally realized what was happening.

"The one who died mysteriously back then wasn't Zhenming, the Half-Saint; it was this Jinglong King. The Jinglong King who appeared outside afterward was Zhenming in disguise!"

"That demigod has such a black heart!"

Besides being stubborn, the people of "Covering the Sky" are also typically ruthless; it's just that the former is so obvious and noticeable that people often overlook the latter.

"Zhenming, I'm going to kill you!"

The only lingering resentment in the corpse of the Dragon King was the deepest, most unforgettable hatred, constantly repeating the obsession he had before his death.

The mummified corpse absorbed the power of the eight divine pearls, but instead of becoming fuller and more fleshy, its skin and bones shrank.

Boom!

The corpse of the Dragon King struck Duan De with a palm strike, the sound like thunder. The fat man did not hesitate and directly took out his shroud to suppress the corpse's transformation.

Generally speaking, unless there is no other way, Duan De would not use this rare treasure.

The Shroud of Turin was not an immortal and indestructible imperial weapon; it was merely an accidental creation.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm here to help you!" Qin Sheng intervened immediately.

How can we sit idly by and watch our brother be in trouble?
Then Duan De immediately became alert, covering himself with a shroud, fearing that Qin Sheng would also attack him.

Qin Sheng: "...Are you serious?"

Such distrustful behavior is extremely damaging to their brotherhood!
"I was afraid of being hurt by the corpse of the Dragon King, not that I was guarding against you," Duan De explained.

The magic array in this space twisted and fell apart under the impact of the power unleashed by the two.

King Jinglong was a great king in his lifetime, but his royal body has been drained dry by the half-saint Zhenming, and he is no longer as powerful as he once was.

With the combined efforts of the two, they were directly suppressed and unable to move.

boom!
At the same time, the magic array inside the Crimson Pyramid exploded, unable to hold on any longer.

"Don't destroy the corpse of the Dragon King! Check if there's any elixir of immortality inside!" Qin Sheng shouted to Duan De.

The unscrupulous Taoist priest's eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed over. Qin Sheng did not hesitate either.

"You fatso, don't even think about taking it all for yourself!"

The two surrounded the mummified corpse. Qin Sheng used the power of the Demon Canopy to freeze the void, and dark light cascaded down, isolating the inside from the outside.

"What are you doing?" Duan De exclaimed.

"I'm afraid you'll try something underhanded," Qin Sheng admitted.

Duan De was speechless. "Can't you trust me just a little bit more?"

"hehe."

The two first examined the head of the Dragon King's corpse, and the unscrupulous Taoist frowned.

"Why is it empty?"

It's really empty; even the brain is gone.

They checked all the important areas, including the heart, lower abdomen, and spine, but found nothing.

Duan De was enraged and smashed the dried corpse to pieces, sending dust flying everywhere.

"Where is my baby?!"

"Could it be that the elixir of sainthood has already been taken by the half-saint Zhenming?" Qin Sheng wondered, guiding Duan De's thoughts.

“The eight Earth Gods are still here? How is that possible?” Duan De categorically denied. Qin Sheng speculated, “The formation and terrain here have remained unchanged for 50,000 years. Perhaps this is the second batch of Earth Gods.”

"Look at the state of the Dragon King's furnace. It looks like it has been completely exploited, and the Earth God is too weak. How could eight powerful beings possibly refine the elixir of sainthood?"

"Well... it's not impossible." Duan De wasn't sure either.

No matter how professional one is, it's impossible to know everything. Moreover, Duan De at this moment has no memories of his previous lives, so there are bound to be things he doesn't understand.

"Look at those eight divine beads." Duan De turned and walked towards the altar, then jumped in fright the next second.

A tiny figure sat atop the throne; it was Little Nannan.

"I thought it was the Dragon King who had been reborn."

"Sweetie, you can't play there, come down quickly!"

Qin Sheng picked up the little girl, and she blinked three times, which reassured him.

That's it.

"There's only a little left!"

Duan De let out a wail as he examined the eight divine beads, finding that an average of seven or eight tenths of their divine energy had been lost.

The good news is that the negative forces inside have been completely purified.

Qin Sheng reacted quickly and collected his and Xiao Nannan's portions.

“Fellow Daoist, keep your word. Everyone gets a share. I won’t take more than my share, and you shouldn’t be greedy either.”

Duan De hesitated for a moment, then sighed deeply and put away his divine pearl.

Forget it, I never intended to screw over that bastard surnamed Qin this time, and he didn't screw me over either, so let's just coexist peacefully this once.

Qin Sheng's gaze shifted and landed on the throne. He stepped forward to examine it, and then spoke with delight.

"This is a Earth-Suppressing Stone, a treasure specially used to act as the core of an array and suppress the terrain. It is an indispensable item for building a divine city in the Central Plains."

Duan De perked up, "How do we divide these?"

"Don't say that brothers are heartless. We three will still divide this earth-suppressing stone equally."

Qin Sheng glanced at Duan De sideways, "How about that? Pretty loyal, huh?"

Duan De shook his head, "If you want to build a divine city, there are requirements for the size of the earth-suppressing stone. This stone can be divided into two, and each half is just enough. But if it is divided into three, it will not be enough, and its value will be greatly reduced."

"You mean you'll keep half for yourself, and the other half will be for me and Nannan?"

Qin Sheng: "Dezi, you are far too greedy."

"But since we're brothers, how about this: you give me some compensation, and I'll let you take half of it with you."

"Are you even human?" Duan De retorted.

"This is the tomb I found. I brought you here, and you're still exploiting me like this?"

"Sigh." Qin Sheng sighed.

"Alright, you don't need to compensate me. We'll split it in half. I'm just too easygoing and too soft-hearted."

I am a kind person.

"That's pretty much it."

Duan De felt a surge of joy in his heart. He had gained an advantage and won big!

Qin Sheng lifted the earth-suppressing stone throne, and then something terrifying happened.

The blood-red pyramid collapsed, the void shattered, a scene reminiscent of the end of the world.

The earth-suppressing stone also ensures the final stability of this vast land.

"This place is going to be destroyed, get out of here!"

The three of them broke out of the void and arrived in the real world outside.

A void storm arose, which was originally going to sweep across tens of thousands of miles, but Qin Sheng suppressed it.

"Quickly cut the earth-suppressing stone." Duan De stared at Qin Sheng, lest he try any tricks.

“I will not change my mind, Dezi. You should change your impression of me.”

Qin Sheng decisively split the throne in two, tossing one half to Duan De, then took the little girl into the air and used the "Travel" technique to disappear without a trace.

"My daughter and I have been delayed for too long, we need to hurry to Qishi Mansion."

"Fellow Daoist, I hope that when we meet again, we can still chat and laugh about today!"

Duan De withdrew his gaze from the distance and muttered to himself:

"Why are you running so fast? I'm not going to rob you."

He inspected the boundary stone and soon discovered something was amiss.

"Huh, why does this place seem empty? Let me take a look..."

Within the boundary stone, a small space has been hollowed out, with profound Daoist patterns carved inside, resembling a pill furnace.

After the "alchemy furnace" was opened, wisps of fragrant aroma wafted out, which was refreshing and delightful.

Duan De froze, a flash of insight crossing his mind, and several clues came together at that moment.

No wonder the man surnamed Qin couldn't wait to put the divine pearl into the hole...

No wonder the Dragon King's corpse became even more shriveled after absorbing the power of the divine pearl...

No wonder he proactively reminded me to check on the king's corpse and even sealed it off with imperial weapons...

No wonder the little girl, contrary to her usual well-behaved self, ran to the throne to play...

It turns out that the great tomb did indeed contain the elixir of the divine king. The human furnace was merely a filter; the true elixir was hidden inside the boundary-suppressing stone, which isolated the Heavenly Eye and the Dharma Eye.

"You surnamed Qin, I'll never let you get away with this!"

The heart-wrenching howls echoed through the primeval mountains, startling countless birds and beasts.

Shouting and making noise in such a quiet place is simply inconsiderate.

In the distance, the little girl took out a brocade pouch from her bosom.

This is a small toy with void attributes that Qin Sheng crafted for her. Since the little girl doesn't have a human secret realm to store things, she puts all sorts of things inside.

Then, the little girl poured out a round, jelly-like, colorful fruit from the bag and handed it to Qin Sheng.

"Big brother, this is what's hidden inside the stone, it smells good."

"Nannan is so amazing."

Qin Sheng smiled and accepted the fruit, beaming with pride, and rewarded the little guy with a string of candied hawthorns.

No matter how cunning and treacherous you are, you can only drink the little girl's foot bath water.

No, Dezi isn't even qualified to drink the Great Emperor's foot bath water; he's only fit to drink the Black Emperor's.
