Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 319 Attacking the Emperor's Tomb

They gazed at each other across the distance, tears welling in their eyes, speechless and choked with emotion.

One person wore a tattered Taoist robe and bore frostbite and arrow wounds; the other was composed and wore a warm, spring-like smile.

"Fellow Daoist, why aren't you smiling?" Qin Sheng asked with concern.

"I have come in response to your longing; it is the will of Heaven."

"Hey, Dezi, why did your face turn green, then purple, and now black?"

Master Duan even possesses the skill of face-changing! Amazing!
Duan De looked at Qin Sheng, and you could hear him grinding his teeth so hard they were almost breaking.

Why is this happening?

The Taoist priest painstakingly broke through the Taoist array outside the tomb, and it was finally time to reap the rewards, but then this guy surnamed Qin suddenly appeared in front of me.

God, do you think this is right?

"Dezi, don't look so down. The most important thing in life is to be happy." Qin Sheng walked over and sighed softly as he looked at Duan De.

"You look like this, you must be tired, but it's okay, I'm here now."

Please, please don't come!
"You surnamed Qin, you think I can never get rid of you in this lifetime?!" Duan De said with great hatred.

"That's not true, fellow Daoist. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be here either," Qin Sheng said earnestly.

"And we came in together, but we got separated later. Under normal circumstances, we should have explored this place together."

"At this point, it's just that everything has returned to normal."

Duan De completely ignored Qin Sheng's instigation.

If this place was truly discovered by everyone together, and then they broke through the formation and stormed in, then Duan De could barely accept it.

The problem is, I'm the one suffering from breaking the ban now, not you!
"Immortal Qin, please spare my brother's life?" Duan De said.
“Nannan must be lost too, right? You go find her, I'll take care of this place, and we'll split the contents 50/50 later.”

Qin Sheng didn't believe a word of that statement.

Five or five?
If Duan De were to enter the underground palace alone, and he were to vomit up even one ten-thousandth of what was inside, it would be considered that he had changed his ways and become generous.

"Fellow Daoist, you're too attached to appearances," Qin Sheng said with a smile, shaking his head.

"I'm not after the treasure; I'm simply here to help you."

Duan De looked up at the sky and sighed deeply, feeling utterly dejected.

"Then let's go together."

He couldn't win; Qin Sheng's cultivation and combat strength far surpassed Duan De's.

There was no escaping it. Duan De felt he had already run all the way to Ziwei, yet he was still caught up. Where else could he hide?
There's nothing else I can do.

I'm tired. That's enough. I'm already here. I was already mentally prepared to be humiliated before I even set off to find the ruthless man's palace, wasn't I?
It's impossible for me, the Daoist, to just turn around and leave the underground palace to that Qin family, right?
"Brother Qin, I'll call you Brother Qin." Duan De's words were truly heartfelt.

"Considering I went through all the trouble of digging this place out, how about we split the contents of the underground palace fifty-fifty?"

"Even if you don't dig, I can teleport directly to the entrance of the underground palace. The magic array outside can't stop me."

Logically speaking, it was Duan De who secretly dug up Qin Sheng's tomb!

Duan De: "...I really regret it."

"Regret what?" Qin Sheng asked.

"I shouldn't have gone to the Qingdi Tomb in the first place."

If he hadn't gone to the Qingdi Tomb, he wouldn't have encountered those despicable Earthlings. Without encountering Earthlings, Daoist would still be an unrivaled figure in the tomb world. How could he have ended up in this state today?

Qingdi, you deserve to die! You have truly caused me immense suffering!

As the saying goes, "They first met at the tomb of the Green Emperor, and their encounter with Qin Sheng ruined their lives."

Duan De's resentment towards the Green Emperor was extremely deep. You, a dignified demon emperor, why would you deliberately create a yang tomb and yin grave for yourself? Are you bored?
“However, a 50/50 split isn’t impossible,” Qin Sheng added.

This is brotherhood!

Sure enough, Duan De immediately smiled, clearly moved by the profound sentiment.

The two worked together to open the entrance to the underground palace, and a rich flow of Yin energy surged out.

"Immortal Qin, this isn't right," Duan De exclaimed.

"Tell me honestly, what about this place resembles a ruthless person's palace?"

"You've seen the situation in the Lightless Domain; it's indeed related to the Ruthless Great Emperor."

Qin Sheng stared intently into the underground palace. "We should know what's going on once we've thoroughly explored this small world."

The interior of the underground palace was filled with a misty atmosphere, with rich moonlight flowing through it, as if one had entered the legendary Moon Palace on Earth.

Qin Sheng and Duan De stepped inside, extremely cautious. Even though they were now certain that this underground palace was probably unrelated to the ruthless man, they still dared not be careless.

But something unexpected happened to Qin Sheng and his group.

Apart from the moonlight, the underground palace was completely empty; there were no monsters, no guards, and no coffins.

"What's going on?" Duan De asked, tapping and banging on things in frustration.

There's nothing there, so what am I supposed to steal?
“There’s something on the wall.” Qin Sheng stood in front of the murals.

The main character of the mural is a tall and imposing man whose face is obscured by the moonlight, making his features unclear. All that can be determined is that he is a magnificent man.

A large seal sits atop his head, suppressing all the heavens and the universe, and countless beings submit to him.

"Who is this?" Duan De stared intently at the mural.

Qin Sheng looked at the pattern on the seal and pondered, "Perhaps it is the Taiyin Human Emperor."

In this grand tomb, imbued with the style of the Taiyin lineage, the image of a figure with a precious seal on his head, ruling over all the heavens, makes it hard not to associate him with that human emperor.

"What?! Is this the tomb of the Human Emperor?!" Duan De jumped up in shock.

Qin Sheng shook his head. "Impossible. If it were the tomb of the Human Emperor, we would already be dead."

Not every emperor's tomb is as perfunctory as the tomb of the Azure Emperor, which even the Supreme Being of the Dao Palace could attack.

Even saints would be killed as easily as mowing grass if they entered the true imperial tombs.

Lao Qing is a benevolent person.

Moreover, the Taiyin Emperor could not possibly be buried here; his body does not exist in the human world.

The mural records the deeds of the Taiyin Emperor, who was born in a large purple star. He was an extremely ominous Taiyin being, destined to be filled with misfortune.

Both those with a Yin constitution and those with a Yang constitution are prone to early death; even if they embark on the path of cultivation, it is difficult for them to live past the age of twenty.

It was not a man-made disaster, but rather the jealousy of Heaven.

Before the two human emperors, Taiyin and Taiyang, did the universe give birth to the Taiyin body and the Taiyang body?

Yes, and there is more than one.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of them could not escape the fate of dying young, and those who were lucky enough to survive did not attain enlightenment.

The presence of either the Moon or the Sun alone does not guarantee an emperor's throne. The two emperors' attainment of the Dao was largely due to their own efforts, and this is an isolated case. It does not mean that the lower limit for the presence of the Moon or the Sun is that of an emperor.

In a sense, these two are lower-level constitutions of the Chaos Body, but if they do not evolve in the direction of chaos and focus on Yin and Yang, then they are also independent.

The murals are very brief, and although there are no words, they contain a kind of charm that allows people to feel genuine emotions.

As can be seen, after the birth of the Taiyin Emperor, those around him were both shocked and saddened by the Taiyin body, and they felt great pity for the child.

However, after the Taiyin Emperor came of age, he became very cheerful and did not worry about his physical limitations. He remained optimistic and embarked on the path of cultivation. Unbeknownst to them, Qin Sheng and the others had finished viewing all the murals. The story of the Emperor recorded here was incomplete, only extending to the point where the Emperor began his cultivation.

"What's next?" Duan De asked instinctively.

"That's all."

Deep within this underground palace, there is a staircase leading to an even lower level. Qin Sheng and his companions descended the staircase and arrived at the second underground palace, which was located even further down.

It was still empty, without any treasures, but it still had murals, continuing to briefly depict the story of the Taiyin Emperor.

The Human Emperor, upon beginning his cultivation, undoubtedly created a legend of absolute invincibility.

The young emperor could easily sweep aside his contemporaries. Although he was not like Wu Shi, who could defeat anyone in just a few moves, he truly had the bearing of an ancient emperor and quickly suppressed the younger generation of the Ziwei cultivation world.

But the Emperor is approaching twenty years old, and his innate calamity is about to arrive.

There is always a way out; the murals on the third floor record how the human emperor survived a desperate situation.

The Human Emperor accidentally entered a small world, and when he came out, he had a moon-shaped seed in his hand.

"This kind of charm..." Qin Sheng was somewhat shaken.

"It's an immortal elixir, no, to be precise, it should be called an immortal tree!"

"The laurel tree that never dies!" Duan De exclaimed excitedly.

"The Human Emperor discovered the seed of the immortal laurel tree here, thus surviving his death at the age of twenty!"

The Laurel Tree, the immortal tree corresponding to the Fusang Tree, represents the Yin principle, the origin of heaven and earth.

For someone with a Yin constitution, this is indeed a divinely ordained treasure, and the most suitable for them.

Others who obtain divine medicine or divine trees can mostly only prolong their lives, but Fusang and Laurel are the embodiment of the ways of the sun and the moon.

Once obtained by a person with a solar or lunar constitution, it is equivalent to having the best guidance, even more precious than the Imperial Scripture!

"If someone who cultivates both mother scriptures can also possess the Laurel Tree and the Fusang Tree at the same time, then he might really have a chance to achieve harmony between Yin and Yang and become emperor of the world," Qin Sheng thought to himself.

Are the golden scales just a thing in the pond? They turn into dragons when encountering wind and clouds.

This is the most vivid description of the human emperor who obtained the seed of the sacred laurel tree.

The Taiyin Human Emperor has broken free from his innate shackles and is now truly invincible.

The fourth mural depicts the Human Emperor stepping into the starry sky; the fifth mural shows the Human Emperor returning after sweeping away all enemies in the universe; the sixth mural shows the Human Emperor attaining enlightenment, with all races submitting to him.

On the seventh level, the Human Emperor slaughtered gods and destroyed holy spirits, creating a glorious era for the human race; on the eighth level, the Human Emperor lived a second life, reigning supreme for eternity.

A glorious ancient history is fully contained within these eight underground palaces.

"This is undoubtedly an ancient emperor of unparalleled power," Duan De commented.

"He ushered in a new era."

After the Taiyin Human Emperor attained enlightenment, he created a glorious and prosperous era.

Gods, demons, and holy spirits alike will all be suppressed by the Taiyin Emperor. Anyone who dares to cause trouble and endanger the common people will be no match for the Emperor's attack.

For the Human Emperor, the Yin Body was merely an embellishment; no one would believe that his strength after attaining enlightenment was due to his physique.

When people in later generations mentioned the Taiyin body, they would only say that it was the constitution of the human emperor, not that it was the constitution of an emperor.

Having witnessed the life of an emperor, both Qin Sheng and Duan De felt a surge of emotion.

A moment later, Qin Sheng glanced at the unscrupulous Taoist priest and said:

"Dezi, learn from the Emperor and be like him, caring for all living beings. Especially when you are with your brothers, don't be petty."

Duan De: "..."

How dare you slander me like this?
However, Duan De had no time to argue with Qin Sheng at this moment. He rubbed his hands together expectantly and said:
"I wonder if the Emperor's Seal is here, and the long-lost Laurel Tree, perhaps it has also returned to its home."

"Dezi, you're not pretty, but you've got pretty ideas."

Back then, the Taiyin Emperor entered the path to immortality, but encountered an unexpected event and failed to achieve immortality. Even the whereabouts of his body are unknown, or perhaps he simply did not leave behind any imperial corpse.

His Emperor Seal did survive, but it was shattered in the war of the gods and is now, on the surface, missing.

Based on this information, Qin Sheng already had a guess about the situation of this tomb and this small world.

"I worked so hard and exhausted myself to open this great tomb, and so far I've gotten nothing. What's wrong with me?" Duan De was furious.

"The Emperor is indeed invincible and cares deeply for all living beings. So please remember me and leave me some treasures!"

"I am also one of the common people, and I also need the Emperor's care!"

Qin Sheng also fell silent. So far, he and Duan De really had a 50/50 split of the contents of the underground palace.

Each person breathes half the air.

"Keep going! I refuse to believe that such a large tomb is truly empty!" Duan De refused to believe it and rushed into the ninth level.

Imperial weapon, laurel tree, here I come, Taoist priest!
The ninth floor is much smaller than the previous eight floors, and the entire underground palace resembles an inverted pyramid.

After seeing the situation on this floor, Duan De's eyes lit up.

There's a coffin!

A high altar was erected, upon which rested a stone coffin.

There is only one mural on this floor, which depicts the scene of the Taiyin Emperor ascending to heaven and entering a misty, cloud-shrouded world.

"Are the people of the Taiyin lineage praying for the Human Emperor to become an immortal?" Duan De saw through the meaning of the mural and shook his head.

"There has never been a person who has become an immortal since ancient times. Even the so-called ancient god, the immortal emperor, is essentially just an ancient emperor."

As Duan De spoke, Qin Sheng had already strode towards the stone coffin.

"Damn Qin Xianren, what's your hurry?" Duan De followed.

On the altar, there is an ancient divine script, which, when translated into the modern human language, roughly means: Please let the Yin Emperor return and rest here.

"This is indeed the coffin of the Human Emperor!" Duan De trembled with excitement, but he was also extremely solemn and dared not act rashly.

However, after a battle of wits with thin air, Duan De was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

"Why is there no imperial aura? And there doesn't seem to be any danger?"

Qin Sheng shook his head slightly. Dezi just liked to deceive himself. He had already said that the Taiyin Emperor could not possibly be buried here, but he still didn't believe it.

Seriously, would a brother like me lie to you?

This guy's gone mad.

Qin Sheng reached out, and Duan De did the same. The two touched the coffin at the same time and then looked at each other.

"Fellow Daoist, let's split it fifty-fifty."

"Of course, I always keep my word."

"There are two things in this tomb: the underground palace and the coffin. You can have the former, and I'll take the latter," Qin Sheng said with a smile.

"I'll give you a little advantage; you can take the larger one."

Duan De: "..."

I can't think of such a thing even if I rack my brains. How exactly do humans grow?
