Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 320 De's Current Offense
Qin Sheng and Duan De ultimately did not make a move, maintaining their brotherly and respectful relationship.

The unscrupulous Taoist felt that since he didn't even know what was inside the coffin, it was best to remain patient for now, as he wasn't very confident of success if things really came to a head.

Qin Sheng knew that this was probably an empty coffin... no, it was because of their deep brotherly bond that he couldn't bear to harm Dezi.

Once Dongxian leaves, who will still consider the immoral Taoist a brother?
The two of them pushed open the stone coffin together, and as Qin Sheng had expected, there was no corpse, imperial weapon, or laurel tree inside, under Duan De's expectant gaze.

Only at the bottom of the coffin was a thin sheet of gold paper, the same length and width as the coffin itself.

The gold paper manifested the patterns of the Great Dao, possessing unparalleled majesty, like the source of heavenly tribulation and the calamity of the Great Dao.

"Golden Tribulation of the Dao!"

Duan De exclaimed in surprise and, without any hesitation, reached out to grab the layer of immortal gold paper.

However, given the difference in their cultivation levels, Qin Sheng directly stopped Duan De and quickly grabbed the Dao Tribulation Gold in his hand.

Immortal gold is undoubtedly a treasure, regardless of the era or the person facing it; the only difference is the extent of its usefulness.

Dao Tribulation Gold is a well-known type of immortal gold. Among the existing and widely known imperial weapons in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, there is one that was forged from this immortal gold.

"Hey Qin, we agreed on a 50/50 split!"

Duan De was furious. "You're going back on your word? Have some conscience!"

"I will not go back on my word," Qin Sheng replied to Duan De while checking the Dao Tribulation Golden Paper.

"But not now, we'll do it after we find Xiao Nannan."

"...If we let the little girl participate in the distribution, what kind of 50/50 split is that?"

Qin Sheng laughed upon hearing this.

"I'll first split the Dao Tribulation Gold in half with Xiaonannan, and then I'll split my share with you 50/50. Tell me, is that fair or not?"

Duan De was dumbfounded. Wouldn't that mean that after dividing it up, I would be the one who would lose out?

“Dezi, this Dao Tribulation Gold Paper is very thin and cannot be forged into an artifact on its own. With your wealth, don’t worry about it so much.”

Qin Sheng said earnestly, "Ask yourself honestly, didn't Nannan make a great contribution in this search for the Ruthless Great Emperor's palace? The Ten Thousand Life Fruit on you was given to you by her."

"Should Nannan share this celestial gold paper? If you say no, I can give you all the Dao Tribulation Gold right now, and we'll be strangers from now on!"

Brothers or gold?

"No." Duan De replied decisively.

Qin Sheng: "..."

You actually said that?

"Give me the Dao Jie Gold. Also, it's okay if we become strangers now." Duan De reached out his hand.

"Dezi, if you are unrighteous, then I have no choice but to be unrighteous as well." Qin Sheng put away the immortal gold paper, shook his head and sighed.

"Human nature really can't withstand the test; a little gold made me see a person for who they really are."

I was just saying, you want it?
Give me an egg!
Duan De looked at him as if he had expected this, and said, "Then remember to divide it up after you find Xiao Nannan."

That shameless Taoist priest is really thick-skinned. He just said we were strangers now, but now he's acting like he never said that.

"Definitely next time."

Giving it to Duan De isn't out of the question, but we absolutely cannot let him succeed so easily. Otherwise, once he gets a taste of success, that fatso will definitely take advantage of the situation and become even more outrageous.

To deal with Duan De, we must be extremely strict.

Over the years, Qin Sheng has summarized his own principles of morality and conduct.

"You were absolutely right. There is no human emperor's corpse, nor human emperor's seal." Duan De sighed, heartbroken.

"Think about it, if this were really the tomb of the Human Emperor, would we still be here?" Qin Sheng said.

Duan De paused for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"That's right. With the ruthlessness of the Ruthless Great Emperor, even if this place really is the tomb of the Human Emperor, she would have already ruined it long ago."

Dezi, all the bad luck you've had in this little world is what you deserve.

She had been badmouthing ruthless people in front of my little girl, and it scared me to hear it.

Looking at the empty coffin, Qin Sheng said:

"The descendants of Taiyin probably didn't know where the Human Emperor went, so they could only build an empty tomb for him."

Few people probably know that the Human Emperor has entered the path to immortality.

The tomb's form outweighs its significance, serving only as a form of comfort. This also explains why Duan De was able to break through the guards and enter the underground palace alone, and why there was little danger inside.

“This coffin…” Duan De examined it carefully and was greatly disappointed.

“This is not a sacred stone or a rare treasure at all; it is a tombstone specifically used for making coffins. I, Daoist Master, can easily find such things.”

Qin Sheng was speechless. What arrogant words! But since it was Duan De who said them, it seemed perfectly reasonable.

"For the Human Emperor, as long as the coffin isn't made of a treasure like the Immortal Tree, then there's really no difference between sacred materials and ordinary objects," Qin Sheng said.

Even ordinary wood in the mortal world becomes a supreme treasure after being stained with the blood of the emperor; it can shake the heavens and earth and kill even saints.

However, Qin Sheng still harbored nine-tenths of doubt about Duan De's words. He also carefully examined the stone coffin and confirmed that Dezi was not lying.

"What a huge loss! I used several forbidden artifacts to break the magic array," Duan De said with a pained expression.

"I'm losing out too," Qin Sheng said, feeling the pain.

"What are you losing?"

If we didn't rob you, you fatso, again, wouldn't that be a loss?

A while later, the two walked out of the underground palace.

"I thought it was a magnificent tomb, but it turned out to be an empty mound," Duan De sighed.

"Be content, at least you got some Dao Tribulation Gold," Qin Sheng said.

If it were a genuine imperial tomb, the two of them would be helpless, which would be a misfortune rather than a blessing.

Qin Sheng gazed into the distance and said, "Next, let's find Nannan."

Duan De's eyes lit up. "Let's split up and search; that will be more efficient."

Qin Sheng immediately knew what Duan De was up to—that he wanted to secretly search for other treasures—but he didn't expose him and nodded in agreement.

Duan De only cares about his baby, unlike me, who only feels sorry for my daughter.

It's clear who is loyal and who is treacherous.

This destined Dezi to live a period of extremely unsuccessful, small-world life.

The two parted ways, and Qin Sheng explored this small world at top speed.

Looking for our great-grandmother!

This place isn't very big, only half the size of the Central Continent Immortal Abode World. But strangely, Qin Sheng searched the entire small world but couldn't find any trace of Xiao Nannan.

This result left Qin Sheng somewhat bewildered.

Where's my baby?!

"It shouldn't be."

Qin Sheng's gaze swept across the entire world. Unless there was a hidden space in the small world, he had set foot in every place. How could he not see Xiao Nannan?

"No, there's one more place I haven't been to yet."

When his gaze inadvertently swept across the moon in the sky, Qin Sheng couldn't take his eyes off it, and a flash of inspiration struck him.

He immediately soared into the sky, his target the moon in the small world.

Qin Sheng flew to the moon.

After he reached the top of the sky, he saw the little girl.

The little guy ran around on the moon all by himself, weaving through the moonlight, just like a fairy child from the moon palace.

"My dear girl!" Qin Sheng called out.

The little girl turned her head, then jumped up in surprise and waved vigorously. "Big brother! I'm here!"

Qin Sheng flew toward the moon, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.

"It's also composed of the Yin primordial energy, and it hasn't been damaged over the years?"

Who left this barrier, which is so sturdy?

"The Holy Emperor of Taiyin obtained the seed of the Laurel Tree in this small world. The seed of the tree was probably on the moon at that time."

The elixir of immortality can fly and disappear into the earth; few things can stop it.

When the little girl saw that Qin Sheng was being stopped, she immediately ran to a corner of the moon where there was a stone platform.

As she stepped onto the stone platform, some of the patterns began to glow.

"Big brother, here! Here!"

Qin Sheng looked at some of the patterns on the stone platform and felt that they were somewhat familiar.

"The spatial runes of that stone hall?"

Qin Sheng understood and gestured for Nannan to keep activating the stone platform. Then he returned to the stone hall and teleported through the spatial runes.

With both sides responding in unison, this time he did not go to the underground palace, but landed on the moon.

"Big brother!"

The little girl cheered and rushed over, and Qin Sheng picked her up in his arms.

"Big brother, you and Uncle Fatty suddenly disappeared! I'm so scared being here all alone!"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Qin Sheng comforted the little girl and asked, "How did you get to the moon, little girl?"

"After we were sucked in, Nannan appeared in a stone room. She accidentally stepped on some small patterns and ended up here." Nannan said, sounding aggrieved.

“Nannan clearly didn’t do anything.”

Qin Sheng remained silent. What a lucky girl! While others had to run to the finish line, she landed directly there.

"There's no one here, just two houses. It's so desolate. I'm so hungry, little girl!" the little girl chattered.

Two rooms?

Qin Sheng's heart stirred, and while chatting with Nannan, he walked toward the house she had mentioned.

In the central region of the moon, there is a moon lake, a stone house on the left side of the moon lake, and another wooden house on the right side, standing opposite each other.

Upon arriving here, Qin Sheng was immediately filled with trepidation.

In the wooden house on the right, there lives the ruthless Emperor Wei!

"So it just left a mark on the moon..." Qin Sheng vaguely understood.

To be precise, this is not the ancestral dojo that the Ruthless People's lineage believes it to be, but a small world that existed before her.

The ruthless person discovered this place after arriving in Ziwei. It seems that he stayed here for a while, just temporarily.

Having realized this, Qin Sheng felt a subtle tension in his heart.

Looking at the ruthless woman's experiences, the Bronze Immortal Palace, the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, and the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest were all places she stayed temporarily.

It is truly true that a woman can travel to any place and find her home anywhere.

Wherever I set my sights on, that's my home.

Big girl, hard!
Meanwhile, Duan De, who was searching for other treasures on the ground, also noticed something through the celestial phenomena and terrain, realizing that there was something wrong with the moon.

He rushed forward in a hurry, but was stopped by the barrier.

"Immortal Qin, Nannan, how did you get in?" Duan De shouted.

“It’s Uncle Fatty.” The little girl turned her head.

"It's fake. The world outside the moon is a world of illusions," Qin Sheng said without turning his head.

"Oh," the little girl nodded.

Whether Duan De is a fake or not, can't the little girl's eyes tell?

But listen to your older brother!
"You bastard surnamed Qin!" Duan De roared again.

We just worked together!
"Big brother, look! There's a tree branch growing in the water!" the little girl said, pointing to Moon Pool.

Qin Sheng looked over and was immediately startled.

Moon Lake is like a manifestation of the primordial moon's essence, with a divine aura flowing within it, and a gleaming branch over ten feet long floating in it.

This tree branch is very special. It is crystal clear, like moon-white jade, with the innate Yin essence hidden within it, giving it a very unique aura.

"A branch of the laurel tree?!"

Having seen more than one immortal herb, Qin Sheng immediately recognized the origin of the branch before him.

The laurel tree neither flowers nor bears fruit, unlike other elixirs of immortality, but it is undoubtedly a priceless treasure that can help people live another life.

At this moment, a branch of a divine tree appeared here, much to Qin Sheng's delight.

"In the future, I will have the opportunity to obtain a branch from the Fusang Divine Tree, and the two divine trees will be united... Heaven is helping me!"

The Fusang Divine Tree and the Laurel Divine Tree wield the power of the sun and the moon, respectively. Their destructive power is unparalleled among elixirs of immortality, making them a match made in heaven in the world of divine medicines.

"The Laurel Tree!" Duan De's eyes turned red. "Mine! This should be my treasure!"

"Little girl, let your uncle in quickly, we'll share half when we meet!"

The little girl ignored Uncle Pang's words and ran to the edge of Moon Lake, reaching out to scoop up laurel branches.

"Be careful," Qin Sheng quickly warned.

However, nothing unexpected happened. The little girl simply grabbed the laurel branch from Moon Pool, then dragged it over, showing it off like a treasure:
"Big brother, here you go!"

Qin Sheng felt a warmth in his heart; his little cotton-padded jacket was still the best.

"Thank you, Nannan. You're so amazing."

The little girl beamed with joy. Children always feel a strong sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when praised by adults.

"And the pool water, Nannan drank some when she was thirsty. It was icy cold and sweet, so delicious!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Sheng took some water from the pool to examine it, and after a moment, he exclaimed in surprise:
"The pool is naturally extraordinary. The real laurel tree must have taken root here. After being bathed in the essence of the tree, Moon Pool was further sublimated."

"For spiritual herbs belonging to the Taiyin category, or for cultivators, this Moon Pool is no less valuable than the divine spring in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land."

While the divine spring water of the desolate forbidden land is indeed precious, it is not unique in heaven and earth.

The elixir from the ninth level of the Ancient Jade Pool is comparable to it.

"Compared to the ancient sacred spring?"

Duan De, who had been trying to break through the barrier but had failed, became completely distorted.

"Immortal Qin, Brother Qin, Senior Qin, please leave some for me!"

He regretted it deeply; he should have acted with Qin Sheng instead.

Hearing Duan De's howls, Qin Sheng laughed heartily, then gently stroked the trunk of the laurel tree in Duan De's direction, praising it with a tsk-tsk sound.

"Such a feel, such luster, such an aura... No wonder it is the Immortal Tree. There are probably few treasures in the entire Ziwei that are more precious than it."

"This branch must have been left behind by the Human Emperor to bless future generations. Now that it has fallen into my hands, it is also the will of Heaven."

"I'll gladly accept it, thank you, Emperor."

"No, you can't do this!" Duan De shouted hoarsely, pounding on the barrier incessantly.

"Don't touch it, let go of it!"

This shouldn't be the case. I should have been the one to gain the most by utilizing my knowledge of burial mounds and my profound skills in Qimen Dunjia.

How could someone surnamed Qin get there before me?
Ruthless Great Emperor, open your eyes and see! Allowing someone surnamed Qin to obtain your treasure is a disgrace to you!
