Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 352 The Underworld Emperor, My Lucky Star (Two chapters combined)

"As it should be."

Qian Wansheng did not refuse Qin Sheng's request, clearly having prepared beforehand. He said:
"Fellow Daoist, are you interested in the Medicine King?"

"Interested? Of course I'm interested!" Duan Defei nodded quickly.

"My friend has run into trouble in his cultivation; his consciousness is disordered. Fellow Daoist Qian, you don't need to take his words to heart," Qin Sheng said.
"The Medicine King is indeed good, but I also have something like that, and it's not worth a holy weapon."

"Of course, this is only one aspect of our sincerity; we can also offer a large Bible." Qian Wansheng recounted:

"It was created by a great sage who almost reached a higher level, and it expounded on an extremely unique Great Dao of Heaven and Earth."

Qin Sheng remained noncommittal.

What is the Great Sage who almost went a step further?
That's still the Great Sage!

The Great Bible is indeed a priceless treasure, serving as the eternal foundation of the doctrine.

However, Qin Sheng cultivates the Emperor's Scripture, and the Great Scripture can only serve as a reference, accumulating Taoist knowledge and wisdom to prepare for forging his own path in the future.

"In addition, the Tong Shen Chamber of Commerce can also contribute a Saint-level weapon. Its weapon spirit has been extinguished. Because it was not forged from sacred materials, it is difficult to pass down through generations. It can probably remain immortal for another ten or twenty thousand years."

This kind of thing is actually very precious. If it were placed in a major religion, it could guarantee their inheritance for 10,000 to 20,000 years without any worries.

"Not enough." Qin Sheng's tone was flat.

Seeing this, Qian Wansheng hesitated for a moment before revealing his trump card.

"Many tens of thousands of years ago, a chaotic pure land appeared on the ancient star Ziwei."

"The Chaotic Pure Land?!" Duan De was taken aback.

This is a very special place, independent of the vast universe, preserving the appearance of the world at its beginning.

Strictly speaking, the Chaotic Pure Land was a special region formed by chance during the creation of the world, and it did not truly evolve into a part of the greater universe.

The universe has evolved and changed, from its birth to its prosperity, but the Chaotic Pure Land has always remained in its original state.

Some treasures only existed in the ancient times, the mythical era, or even more distant past. They have now completely disappeared, but they may appear in the Chaos Pure Land.

"What happened to that Chaotic Pure Land afterward?" Duan De couldn't help but ask, his curiosity piqued.

"It is located in the chaotic space-time, wandering and drifting. It briefly intersected with the ancient star Ziwei, creating a spatial channel. After the ancestors of various forces finished exploring, the Pure Land disappeared again."

Qian Wansheng: "Where it is now, and whether it still exists, are mysteries that no one knows."

“Your ancestors must have acquired many treasures,” Duan De said enviously.

I'm afraid these bastards have emptied out the pure land. How hateful! I wish I had been born in that era.

Qin Sheng had some impression of the Chaotic Pure Land; just one thing mentioned was enough to tell him how extraordinary this place was.

The Ziwei Divine Dynasty obtained a lot of divine essence liquid in the Pure Land, and later generations used it to seal many saints as a foundation.

The Golden Crow Clan had previously been arrogant and domineering, acting as if they were the only ones who mattered in the world. However, in terms of profound foundation, they were far inferior to the Purple Star Divine Dynasty.

Compared to the other two, the Golden Crow Clan is nothing short of nouveau riche.

"Are any of the treasures that the Tong Shen Merchant Guild obtained from the Chaos Pure Land still intact?" Qin Sheng asked.

Clearly, Qian Wansheng's sudden mention of this matter was not intended to trade the Pure Land itself, since it has already disappeared.

They want to gild their future products and raise their prices.

My stuff is imported from Chaos, it's extremely precious!

However, Qin Sheng was also very interested in the Chaotic Pure Land.

"Could it be that you can produce Divine Source Liquid?"

“We did obtain some Divine Source Liquid back then, but it has long been exhausted,” Qian Wansheng said.

The presence of Divine Source Liquid suggests that the Tong Shen Chamber of Commerce likely possesses the background of a sage.

"We can offer two treasures obtained from the Pure Land: the Primordial Wood and three drops of Chaos Origin Liquid. Do you know their uses, fellow Daoist?"

"I know," Qin Sheng said with some emotion.

"The Tongshen Chamber of Commerce truly lives up to its reputation as the number one business sect in Ziwei; their generosity is truly impressive."

Duan De's eyes lit up with emerald green. "Primordial Wood, that's a treasure containing innate wood energy."

"The Chaos Origin Liquid is even more extraordinary. Taking just one drop can draw upon the power of heaven and earth to enhance one's body. It can not only help one comprehend the Dao, but also reverse the innate state of the physical body and primordial spirit, as if one has experienced the nurturing of heaven and earth."

"You're willing to bring out something like this? Did you discover a Chaos Source Lake back then?"

“We have truly come with sincerity,” Qian Wansheng said earnestly.
"However, we must also mention the drawbacks of the Chaos Origin Liquid. If one cannot withstand the influx of the power of heaven and earth into the body, one may be subject to Dao transformation. The higher one's cultivation level, the more dangerous it is for one to use."

Once you reach a point where you can completely ignore the risks of the Chaos Source Liquid, this stuff becomes basically useless.

It is also unsafe for people with low cultivation levels to use this item. The chaotic power contained in the source liquid is too much for weak people to refine, and it will explode directly.

"How big is the Primordial Wood?" Qin Sheng asked about another treasure.

The purple gourd elixir that Lao Tzu left to his successors has two paths to successfully be refined and transformed into a quasi-emperor weapon. One is to nurture it step by step, slowly simmering it over a gentle fire.

The second method was to use drastic measures, causing the purple gourd to devour several treasures, including the Primordial Wood.

This is not a material of quasi-emperor level; what is precious is the innate wood energy contained within it.

Even Lao Tzu couldn't find this thing back then, and Qin Sheng never expected that he would have the opportunity to obtain it today.

“About ten feet long.” Qian Wansheng sketched out a divine image, which was the Primordial Wood.

Qin Sheng glanced at it and fell into deep thought.

"Is there anything else?" Duan De asked eagerly.

Good brother, you're practically my mouth double. If this deal goes through, I won't treat you unfairly; I'll reward you with a pound of source.

Qian Wansheng glanced at the delirious fat man and thought, "He's too greedy."

"We truly have nothing left like the Primordial Wood. These are the most valuable things we can offer," Qian Wansheng shook his head and said.

"But the Tong Shen Merchant Guild is willing to befriend the Master of the Eight Views Palace."

I don't believe you for a second; you're a wicked old man.

"This is a list of the Chamber of Commerce's treasure trove. Fellow Daoist, take a look. If there's anything you want, you can choose three or five items." Qian Wansheng handed over a jade book.

It's obvious that this so-called treasure list couldn't possibly be the true wealth of the Tong Shen Chamber of Commerce.

Qin Sheng took the jade book and flipped through it. The items recorded on it were of high quality, including not only actual treasures but also various maps and tokens.

"What are these maps?" Qin Sheng asked.

"These are treasure maps collected by the Tongshen Merchant Guild over generations. They all point to the renowned divine treasures in Ziwei," Qian Wansheng explained.

"It might be the tomb of the Great Sage, or even related to the Great Emperor."

Qin Sheng: "..."

How dare you make such a boast?

If the Tong Shen Merchant Guild really possessed information about so many treasures, they would have discovered them themselves long ago; why would they leave them to others?

"Of course, these treasures are just legends, and there might be nothing there at all," Qian Wansheng said.

"But someone did indeed buy a map from the Divine Merchant Guild and then found a saint's treasure."

Yi Qingwu, who had been listening quietly to their conversation, spoke up, "Selling various treasure maps and tokens has always been a tradition of the Tong Shen Merchant Guild, and it's very popular. However, such things depend a lot on luck."

Qin Sheng understood; it was about opening a treasure blind box, right?

99.99% of the treasures are empty, but if even one succeeds, it will make people even more enthusiastic about it.

Who knows, I might be next?
It's like buying lottery tickets. Even if you've bought tickets for decades and won nothing, you'll still feel excited when you see news of people winning big prizes.

Keep buying, it's my turn soon!
Qin Sheng kept flipping through the jade book, the divine source, the precious jade, the Peng talisman token...

Upon seeing Peng Fu, Duan De remained outwardly calm, but his heart pounded wildly.

How did this thing get here?

Excellent! I've been searching high and low, but it's right here in my hands! Mr. Qin, you're truly my lucky star!

Wait a minute, I have no chance to get this from the Tong Shen Merchant Guild. The only way to get the Peng Talisman is through someone surnamed Qin. Wouldn't that expose my secret?

Duan De realized what was happening and in his heart, he frantically cursed the Infinite Heavenly Venerable.

The sincerity of the Pantheon Merchant Guild was indeed very strong, and it truly moved Qin Sheng. As he was pondering this, he heard Duan De speak:
"Let's discuss the exchange first."

This made Qin Sheng look over. "My things, what do I need to discuss with you?"
I dislike people who lack boundaries.

"It's something we should seriously consider." Qian Wansheng was a shrewd old man, and he could tell that the fat man probably had something to gain.

Duan De gestured with his eyes, and Qin Sheng followed him to a distance, asking:

"Fellow Daoist, what are you going to do?"

Duan De secretly transmitted his voice to Qin Sheng, "You must exchange it, get that Peng Talisman back."

"Peng Fu?" Qin Sheng asked in confusion.

"Even the Pantheon Merchant Guild doesn't know the specific function of that thing. They only know it's some kind of token, but they can't find a place to use it. What's the point of replacing it?"

"Wait, Tokuko, you don't know something, do you?"

Duan De remained silent. He didn't want to tell Qin Sheng, but the problem was that without Qin Sheng's help, Peng Fu had no hope of being obtained.

He couldn't possibly rob the Tong Shen Merchant Guild.

It's not that I have a moral burden, but that my strength doesn't allow it.

Killing people from outside a top-tier sect like Ziwei is a completely different matter from directly storming their stronghold.

In the latter case, their profound knowledge and experience truly teach you a lesson.

“I also have a fish-shaped talisman; they are a pair,” Duan De explained telepathically.

"These two items are related to Kunpeng and involve unimaginable treasures. You will definitely not lose out by exchanging them for the Divine Scepter."

“Kunpeng…” Qin Sheng’s eyes lit up.

"Were you looking for the Kunpeng treasure in the North Sea before?"

"Yes!" Duan De gritted his teeth and admitted.

Damn you, Qin, you're truly my nemesis.

Ruthless Emperor above, Dezi, you are truly my lucky star.

"Tell me the details, and I'll see if we should change the Peng Talisman." Qin Sheng was very calm and not in a hurry at all.

"Kunpeng is extremely rare in the entire universe, and it has not been seen for many eras."

Now that things had come to this, Duan De no longer concealed anything and said:

"But every member of this clan is incredibly powerful. There was once a Kunpeng who almost attained enlightenment. He was born in the North Sea and eventually passed away here."

"I have confirmed several times that his place of death is Ziwei Beihai."

Almost attained enlightenment?

That would be a Kunpeng of an alternative level of enlightenment.

If it's something left behind by such a person, then the Pengfu is indeed worth exchanging.

Qin Sheng suddenly thought of something, "There is an ancient Kunpeng ancestor in the North Sea who is extremely powerful. Could it be that he has already taken the Kunpeng treasure you mentioned?"

Qin Sheng even suspected that the Kunpeng Ancestor might be related to the Kunpeng that Duan De mentioned, who almost attained enlightenment.

These divine beasts, all creatures from the North Sea, wouldn't just appear out of nowhere.

"The place indicated by the Peng Talisman and the Fish Talisman should be the Kunpeng Nest. Even if the Kunpeng Ancestor got there first, there must be other treasures there, worth our effort," Duan De said.
"You don't need to worry about Ancestor Kunpeng. I've inquired several times and confirmed that he's no longer in Ziwei."

Since Duan De had put it this way, Qin Sheng also developed a great interest in the Kunpeng Treasure.

The Kunpeng has two forms: Kun when it enters the sea and Peng when it ascends to the sky.

In the chaotic ancient times and even more distant eras, the true Kunpeng was ranked among the Ten Fiends, possessing unbelievable potential.

What are the Ten Evils?

Once he unleashes his fury, he can rival even a Celestial King!

Most importantly, Kunpeng is born with the power of the sun and moon, which is difficult for ordinary experts in the human realm to control.

However, the Kunpeng of the Shrouding the Heavens era only possessed the Kunpeng bloodline, not pure blood, and therefore lacked the potential to achieve true Yin-Yang harmony; otherwise, it would have long since become the emperor of the world. Yet, the transformation from Kun in the sea to Peng in the heavens still reflects the principle of Yin and Yang.

"If there really is a Kunpeng relic that represents an alternative path to enlightenment, then he must have reached an incredible level in the Dao of Yin and Yang."

Qin Sheng had made up his mind. He returned to Qian Wansheng's side and nodded, saying:
"With what you just mentioned, plus Star Water, Peng Talisman... would you be willing to redeem the Divine Scepter?"

Qian Wansheng agreed without any hesitation.

"Thank you, Master of Bajing Palace."

He has to thank us.

The Divine Merchant Guild truly had no choice; the Divine Scepter was something they couldn't afford to lose.

If you can't beat them in a fight, what can you do?

Treasures can be earned back, and it's not a big problem if you can't earn them. Without the sacred weapon that guards the sect, the entire Myriad Gods Merchant Guild will be in turmoil, and it may even become a turning point from prosperity to decline.

"However, I did not bring these things with me, so please give me some time."

Qin Sheng agreed, "Just come find me when you're ready."

Qian Wansheng nodded, then took out several more items, all of good quality treasures, and said with a smile:

"This is a gift from the Pantheon Merchant Guild. We hope you will not find it offensive."

"I don't mind." Duan De grabbed it in one swift motion.

Dezi, you have made me lose face.

Qian Wansheng drifted away, and despite the massive bleeding, he was still in good spirits.

At least he didn't become a sinner against the orthodox tradition for all time.

"You better not disappoint me with the Kunpeng Treasure you mentioned, or you'll have to pay me back with the shroud." Qin Sheng glanced at Duan De.

"Tell me about your past."

"Don't try to act innocent after getting the benefit!"

Duan Deren was so angry he was swollen with rage. He hadn't gotten anything for himself, and now he had to share the opportunity with this bastard.

If I had known earlier I wouldn’t have come!
But if he didn't come, he wouldn't get the Peng Talisman. The unscrupulous Taoist felt that being a human was too difficult.

"before me……"

Previously, after leaving the Taiyin Small World, Duan De did go to the North Sea to search for the Fusang Divine Tree.

But before he could find the Divine Tree, he obtained the Fish Talisman from the sea beast's lair. Based on some information that Duan De had previously discovered by chance, he determined that this thing was related to the Kunpeng, so he changed his exploration target.

“You can find the Fusang Divine Tree first and then find the Kunpeng Treasure; there is no conflict between the two.”

Upon hearing this, Duan De chuckled.

If I go looking for the Fusang Divine Tree, won't I run into you? Then I'll get ripped off by you again.

Do you think Master Dao is stupid?
Judging from Duan De's expression, Qin Sheng knew what he was thinking.

“Dezi, to be honest, when we search for treasure together, no matter what the process is like, everyone will eventually gain something. If you come with me to the Fusang Divine Tree, you might be able to get a branch as well.” Qin Sheng’s eyes were strange.

"After all your scheming and plotting, aren't we still going to Kunpeng's Nest together now?"

It can be said that she was too clever for her own good, and ended up ruining her own destiny.

Duan De's face stiffened.

"Uncle Fatty, are you really delirious?" the little girl asked, tilting her head back with concern.

"Let the older brother check your body."

"No problem," Qin Sheng said with a smile.
"I will first seal your original divine consciousness and then heal you properly. Fellow Daoist, don't worry, it will be quick and there won't be any pain."

"no."

Duan De was afraid that when he woke up, he would be stripped naked again.

"In short, I have found the location of the Kunpeng Nest, but I cannot open it without the Peng Talisman."

"It seems that fate has decreed that you and I, brothers, must work together to obtain this rare treasure," Qin Sheng praised.
"Even Heaven doesn't want us brothers to be separated."

Duan De's face darkened. Heaven must be blind to make such an arrangement.

Don't get angry, don't get angry, if you get sick from anger, no one can take your place.

"Kunpeng, it's both a fish and a bird, it sounds so magical!" The little girl's eyes sparkled with curiosity about this creature.

"You can't eat this."

The only Kunpeng in this world is the Kunpeng Ancestor. At this point in time, he is very likely a Quasi-Emperor, or at the very least a Great Sage at the peak. He is truly beyond my reach.

"Speaking of which, Immortal Qin, when do you plan to return to Beidou?" Duan De suddenly asked.

"Why are you asking this?" Qin Sheng asked suspiciously.

"Could it be that they're trying to find out where I am and then follow me?"

Duan De wanted to curse, "Who wants to follow you around forever!"

"Yes, I want to follow you."

The unscrupulous Taoist priest thought that if Qin Sheng didn't return to Beidou, he would find an opportunity to go back and avoid Dongxian's sharp edge.

If Qin Sheng goes back, then he'll stay in Ziwei; he can't be with that bastard surnamed Qin anyway.

I've had enough, I've really had enough.

"The Starry Sky Altar of the Ziwei Jiang family has malfunctioned and needs to be repaired before I can return. I cannot leave for the time being," Qin Sheng said, looking at Duan De.
"Fellow Daoist, where is your path to Ziwei? Is it still passable?"

"I arrived in Ziwei by accident, and now I have nowhere else to go," Duan De sighed.

Since you can't go back, then I'm leaving.

"Really? That's a shame. It seems we have no choice but to stay in Ziwei."

"Yes, indeed."

Qin Sheng and Duan De exchanged glances and sighed in unison.

Dezi, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You think you can get rid of me? Not even in your next life.

Qin, I will miss you from Beidou.

Qian Wansheng acted swiftly, reappearing within a day with the treasures Qin Sheng needed.

Qin Sheng summoned the Taiyin Sacred Banner, took out the Divine Scepter from it, and handed it to Qian Wansheng.

"The property returns to its original owner."

In ancient times, the Great Emperor Wushi righteously released the imperial soldiers of Zhongzhou; now, the Sun God Lord returns the Purple Star Scepter.

Even after all time, this will be a story that stands side by side with others.

Upon receiving the Divine Scepter, Qian Wansheng was filled with emotion, realizing how many people had misunderstood the master of the Eight Views Palace.

Then his gaze swept over the Taiyin Holy Banner. How could this sacred weapon of the Taiyin Divine Sect be so cooperative?
Did they betray us?
"This is a weapon forged by the people of the Human Queen. I only told Him what happened to the Taiyin God Sect."

Given the loyalty of the Heaven-Covering Weapon, it would be absolutely impossible for it to continue protecting those traitors now that it knows what happened to the Human Emperor's bloodline.

Qian Wansheng expressed his understanding, and then he asked:

"Master of the Eight Views Palace, is it possible to establish a stable connection between the ancient stars of the Big Dipper and Ziwei?"

"It seems that the Pantheon Merchant Guild wants to expand its business to the Big Dipper."

Qin Sheng shook his head, "That's impossible right now. The cost of opening the Starry Sky Gate is too high."

At this point in time, the profits from interstellar trade are not even enough to cover the cost of airfare.

Both sides got what they wanted, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious. Qian Wansheng and Qin Sheng talked about many things, and Qian Wansheng said that the master of Bajing Palace would always be a friend of Tongshen Chamber of Commerce and that he was always welcome to visit the Chamber of Commerce.

After seeing Qian Wansheng off, Qin Sheng began to take stock of his gains. He first looked at the great scripture called the Ice Soul Scripture.

"So that's it." Yi Qingwu recognized the origin of this thing.

"Seventy thousand years ago, a great sect called the Ice Heaven Sect in Ziwei was destroyed. Their ancient scripture was the Ice Soul Scripture."

"It is said that its founder was a kind of ice spirit body, possessing unpredictable power, with strength so great that he could freeze time and sweep across an era."

"Freezing time? That's impressive indeed." Qin Sheng nodded, expressing his approval.

In the universe of Shrouding the Heavens, time has always been one of the most mysterious and advanced realms, second only to the ethereal cycle of reincarnation, and few people throughout history have been able to venture into it.

The most well-known one should be the highest mystery of the Word of Movement; and the most powerful master of the Way of Time is naturally the Great Emperor Wushi.

"Indeed, there is no immortal lineage in the world," Li Wan remarked.

If it weren't for Senior Qin's arrival from the Big Dipper, the Sun God Cult would probably have followed in the footsteps of the Ice Heaven Sect.

Qin Sheng read through the Ice Soul Scripture; it was extremely profound, truly worthy of being the work of a great sage.

Not all sages can break free from the constraints of their predecessors and forge their own path.

Some people cultivate to the point of sainthood, yet they are still following the path of their predecessors. Even if they create new scriptures, it is merely a supplement to the ancient scriptures they have been studying, not a new path.

Only a very few people can pave the way and expound different ways of heaven and earth; this is the most meaningful aspect of the Bible.

The Great Sage of Ice Soul is indeed extraordinary; his ancient scriptures contain many unique insights that are worth pondering.

On the last page of the Ice Soul Scripture was a secret technique, which Qin Sheng studied carefully and was somewhat surprised by.

"The Boundless Ice Soul Body... This secret technique is only partially completed. The rest is just a concept and has not been realized. But I must say, the Ice Soul Great Sage has a lot of ideas."

Duan De and the others were also reading the scriptures, and the immoral Taoist priest agreed with Qin Sheng's words.

"That Great Sage wanted to refine the Acquired Ice Soul Body and combine it with his Innate Ice Soul Body, so that his physical body could reach a higher level."

"It is called a secret technique, but in essence it is the Ice Soul Great Sage pioneering a path, attempting to open up a road to the realm above the Holy Realm."

This Boundless Ice Soul Body isn't actually a way to cultivate a special physique; it's more like a secret body-refining technique.

By merging the innate with the acquired, we can break free from all shackles.

"If the Great Sage of Ice Soul succeeds, he should be able to advance to the Quasi-Emperor realm in terms of physical strength."

The realm of Quasi-Emperor is too special. It is associated with the word "Emperor". In the chaotic ancient era, such a person was called the Supreme.

Entering this field is incredibly difficult; even becoming a quasi-emperor in just one aspect is extremely challenging.

In the original timeline, Ye Fan first became a Quasi-Emperor in terms of physical body, and then gradually caught up in terms of Dao principles, primordial spirit, and other aspects.

Even Master Ye couldn't enter this realm in one go, which shows just how special this level is.

Even a quasi-emperor is still an emperor.

"Body Refining Secret Technique..." Qin Sheng pondered for a moment.

The physical bodies of cultivators in the world of "Covering the Sky" are inherently powerful, and their secret techniques for the human body have allowed them to develop their microcosm within the human body to a very high level.

If one continues to refine their body on this foundation, one can imagine that their physical body will become incredibly strong.

When it comes to body refinement in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Undying Scripture, which the baby cultivated, is naturally the first choice.

Once this scripture is mastered, the physical body will be impossible to bury or destroy, and even if the primordial spirit dies, a new consciousness can be born.

This is not a scripture created by cultivators, but rather a manifestation of the Great Dao at the beginning of creation, a primordial technique.

It's a pity that the Immortal Scripture is no longer passed down in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"And the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts from another lifetime..."

The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts is the method for achieving physical immortality, an indestructible path through countless eons.

"Body refinement and primordial spirit refinement are both ways to strengthen oneself on the basis of one's realm."

This is something with countless benefits.

One of the key reasons why the Great Accomplished Holy Body can challenge the Great Emperor is that they can use the single-realm cultivation method to rebuild the five great realms.

This allows one's already extraordinary stats to explode once again.

Qin Sheng pondered, "If the Sacred Body can be refined, so can I."
