Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 358 After the End of Dharma
With all the heirlooms in his bag, Qin Sheng was completely satisfied.

Dezi, thank you so much.

"I hope that the master's legacy can help you go even further." Kunling longed to see Qin Sheng prove his Dao.

The moment Kunling witnessed Qin Sheng's combat prowess, it realized that this was an unprecedented opportunity.

"The legacy of our predecessor Kunpeng is profound and extensive. Even with just a cursory glance, I have gained a great deal."

Qin Sheng always held in high esteem those sages who bequeathed their estates to their descendants after death.

Generous and unpretentious, he is truly a senior figure worthy of the utmost respect.

This is mainly because the previous generations in the world of Shrouding the Heavens rarely left behind any backup plans or traps.

Unlike some worlds where practicing the techniques of predecessors would make one subject to others or become their resurrection vessel, this world is different.

The dead people of the Shrouding Heaven Sect don't do these things. If you have the ability, you can take my things.

"On the Kunpeng Nest, there are some great medicinal herbs growing. Those were left behind by the young master. If there is anything you can use, take it."

After passing the third test, Qin Sheng obtained the Kunpeng Token, which allowed him to freely enter and exit this small world, as well as the Quasi-Emperor Formation.

Qin Sheng carefully put away the forbidden artifact and bone fragments, and said:

"Then I'll go check on the Kunpeng Nest first. By the way, how are my other two companions?"

"They are currently studying the secret techniques in the third stage. You can take them with you to the Kunpeng Nest and the Chaos Pure Land."

After acquiring the inheritance, Qin Sheng's freedom in this small world greatly increased.

After he led the little girl out of the stone hall, Duan De, who hadn't left yet, immediately came over, his eyes shining.

"Good brother, what treasure did you get?"

"Of the few inheritances, there's only one forbidden artifact for escaping space and one sacred weapon. Everything else was taken away by Ancestor Kunpeng," Qin Sheng emphasized.

“I’m not lying to you, my little girl can vouch for it.”

“Yes, Uncle Fatty.” The little girl nodded earnestly.

"Fellow Daoist, sacred weapons are imbued with divine power and will only follow me. You can't possibly be after something like this, can you?"

Qin Sheng: "There's also the forbidden artifact, which was left to me by Ancestor Kunpeng to save my life. You can't just take it, can you? If I die in the future because I'm missing this forbidden artifact, you'll be going to the underworld."

Duan De: "..."

You've said everything, good and bad, you bastard.

"Uncle Fatty, we can't be too greedy, we need to stick together." The little girl waved her little fist.

You're a little rascal too; I, Dao Ye, saw right through you a long time ago.

Duan De glanced at the Kunling that hadn't emerged from the stone hall and made up his mind that after leaving this small world, he would pester Qin Sheng to see the inheritance of the Kunpeng Quasi-Emperor.

Thieves never leave empty-handed; even tomb raiders are thieves.

Qin Sheng descended from the mountaintop and found Yi Qingwu and Li Wan.

“I have already obtained the inheritance here. Let’s go take a look at the Kunpeng Nest.”

"Congratulations, senior," Li Wan said with a smile.

Yi Qingwu sighed inwardly; this was within her expectations.

As she spent more time by Qin Sheng's side and learned more about him, the Moon Fairy became increasingly aware of the gap between them.

Qin Sheng first collected some ancient medicines on the sacred mountain, gathered several Dao Fate Reversal Pills, and then flew to the Kunpeng Nest.

The Kunpeng Order cleared the way, and the formation dissipated on its own.

"This is... a nest built from the branches of the Transformation Tree?" Duan De exclaimed in great surprise.

"This is a special item used to nurture unborn descendants of the demon race. It can subtly refine their bloodline and enhance their vitality."

"Even a single ten-foot-long piece of the Transformation Tree is extremely rare, enough to make powerful demons fight tooth and nail, yet there are so many here?"

"This was prepared by Senior Kunpeng for the child." Qin Sheng glanced at the Transformation Wood a few times before looking away.

This nest can't be moved, and Qin Sheng has no use for it.

Even if Qin Sheng is beaten into the shape of a fetus, he is still a human.

Within the surging chaotic energy that enveloped the Kunpeng Nest, one could vaguely see some great medicinal herbs growing.

"The Demon Saint Flower!" Duan De, with his sharp eyes, spotted a dark-colored flower and became extremely excited.

"Dezi, calm down." Qin Sheng remained calm.

"The Demon Saint Flower is for the demon race, it's useless to you. Don't worry, and besides, worrying won't help."

All the major medicinal herbs were surrounded by quasi-emperor-level arrays, making it impossible for anyone other than Qin Sheng to harvest them.

"The legendary Demon God Flower's inferior treasure, the Demon Saint Flower?" Yi Qingwu exclaimed in surprise.

"Correct."

The Demon God Flower is one of the three extraordinary flowers in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, ranking alongside the Divine Flower and the Dao-Merging Flower.

This flower is an unparalleled treasure for the demon race, comparable to imperial scriptures and weapons. It can forge the most solid foundation for the demon race.

However, this substance can only be consumed by young demons; it is of no use to adult demons or humans.

According to ancient legends, the Demon Saint Flower was a product of the failure of heaven and earth to create the Demon God Flower.

It can also enhance the talents of demon races, but the effect is not that terrifying; it can only forge the potential for sainthood.

The biggest difference between the Demon Saint Flower and the Demon God Flower is that, in addition to being used to help young demons build their foundation, adult demons can also consume it.

After powerful demons cultivate to the level of a Great King, consuming the Demon Saint Flower can help them break through bottlenecks and become saints or ancestors. It is a treasure coveted by countless demon races.

"It must have been the Demon Saint Flower that was nurtured by the convergence of the power of heaven and earth when Kunpeng was born." Qin Sheng's gaze swept across the chaotic energy.

"Not only are there Demon Saint Flowers, but also three King-of-Medicine Plants, and True Dragon Grass, which can strengthen a person's bones to an unbelievable degree, and Profound Origin Fruit, which can promote the evolution of the sea race's bloodline..."

Finally, deep within the chaotic energy, a small tree swayed, bearing two fruits, one black and one white. They were peculiar, sometimes separating and sometimes merging together.

Upon seeing it, Duan De's eyes turned red, as if Black King had a rabies attack.

"The Chaos Yin-Yang Fruit!"

Qin Sheng had never heard of this thing before, and asked, "What is it?"

"A supreme treasure that can allow a person's primordial spirit and physical body to merge into one for a certain period of time, achieving yin and yang unity and reversing the primordial chaos."

The so-called primordial chaos is a unique state, not a true evolution into a chaotic entity.

The physical body is yang, and the primordial spirit is yin. When they are combined into one, one can see the chaos.

Upon hearing this, Qin Sheng immediately felt that this thing was very suitable for use when the Kunpeng Yin-Yang Dao Body merged with the original body.

Kunling appeared beside them and said:

"This is what our young master found in the Chaos Pure Land. It's the second time he's gotten this fruit; he took the first one with him."

"According to the young master, this thing will only bear fruit three times at most, and then it will turn into chaotic energy and never be seen again."

Qin Sheng seemed to be deep in thought. Although the Kunpeng Ancestor had advised him not to cultivate the Kunpeng Yin-Yang Dao Body, he had probably already embarked on this path.

At the center of the Kunpeng Nest, there is an altar with a black hole on it.

"This is the spatial rift leading to the Chaotic Pure Land."

Qin Sheng first picked and carefully preserved items such as the Chaos Yin-Yang Fruit and the Demon Saint Flower. Then, he led Xiao Nannan and the others through the black hole to the Chaos Pure Land.

Before arriving at the Pure Land, everyone was full of expectations, but what they saw was extremely disappointing.

This is a world on the verge of destruction.

The sky was gray and devoid of any light; the earth was cracked, revealing churning magma beneath, which emitted a pungent odor.

Mountains have fractured, rivers have dried up, forests have turned to ash, and everything in this world has withered away, devoid of any vitality, and has never regained the primordial atmosphere of the world at the beginning of creation.

The Chaotic Pure Land should have been the most primordial world, a realm where the Great Dao was first born, a vibrant place where all things flourished.

But in front of...

"Not a trace of the essence of heaven and earth remains. The Great Dao is so lofty that it cannot be perceived. It is impossible to cultivate here."

Qin Sheng frowned. "This is completely inconsistent with the legendary Chaos Pure Land, which is said to be a place of endless creation, where even divine source liquid can be naturally generated."

The environment here is even harsher than on Earth.

The essence of heaven and earth on Earth was constantly gathered into the land of immortals, but a sliver of life was always left outside, and the ancient star itself remained unharmed.

But the world Qin Sheng and his companions have arrived in is on the verge of destruction. Most importantly, cultivators like Qin Sheng are themselves energy sources, and since his arrival, this world seems to be absorbing his power, threatening to reduce him to mortal form as well.

"This isn't right," Duan De said, his voice filled with doubt and surprise.

"Even if all the treasures in the Chaos Pure Land have been looted, it shouldn't have turned out like this..."

"I see!"

Duan De suddenly clapped his hands, “This place must have given birth to an unimaginable treasure. It drained the Chaos Pure Land… No, that’s not right. The treasure itself wouldn’t have destroyed the Pure Land. There must have been external intervention.”

"It's that Quasi-Emperor, Kunpeng Ancestor. He must have done something else!"

“Kunling cannot come to the Chaos Pure Land, and she doesn’t even know what her little master has been doing here.” Qin Sheng shook his head.

"Unless the Kunpeng Ancestor appears, there is no way to investigate what you are saying."

Duan De beat his chest and stamped his feet, "Damn it! The things nurtured here must be rare treasures in the world. With the addition of the work of the quasi-emperor Kunpeng Ancestor, they are even more precious than I can imagine."

"I'm late!"

"Then you can go to Ancestor Kunpeng and ask him to hand over the item," Qin Sheng said with a smile.

"Forget it, I, Daoist, would never stoop to such banditry," Duan De declared righteously.

The little girl smiled.

Gazing at the near-death world, Duan De seemed to have thought of something and said:

"If someone can achieve enlightenment and sainthood in such a place, the gains will be immense."

"When the world is destroyed and the Great Dao is completely hidden, the Great Heaven and Earth will absorb the power of cultivators and return everything to the mortal realm. This is even more terrifying than the legendary End of Dharma Era."

Duan De sighed, "Only in the Chaotic Pure Land could such a situation occur."

Qin Sheng's heart stirred slightly; this reminded me.

“Even cultivation is impossible, let alone severing the Dao or becoming a saint…” Yi Qingwu shook her head.

She thought this was nonsense.

"I wonder what the Kunpeng Ancestor left for you, the destined one?" Duan De asked Qin Sheng.

"He kept us in suspense and didn't say it outright. Let's look for it first."

As Qin Sheng spoke, he took out the Kunpeng Token and discovered that it would glow slightly when facing east.

"The ancestor wasn't entirely unreliable."

The group traveled eastward, but after flying for a full 90,000 li, they saw nothing.

"It's so far away," the little girl exclaimed.

“That’s normal,” Duan De said calmly.

"If this chaotic pure land had evolved normally at the time of creation, it might have become an ancient star with life."

"Even if it becomes a world of its own and is transformed into a pure land, its size will not be particularly small. The immortal abode world in Zhongzhou should have been a chaotic pure land in its predecessor."

Like the Immortal Abode World, it is vast and primitive, and the deeper you go, the more ancient the landscape becomes.

When Qin Sheng and the others went to explore before, after reaching the core area of ​​the Immortal Mansion, Ye Fan, with his Holy Body, immediately felt relaxed, as if the suppression of heaven and earth no longer existed.

After flying another 50,000 miles, they saw a huge ancient tree.

Most of the tree was withered, with only a little green at the very top.

There were three vibrant green leaves and a green fruit.

"What? It's actually this kind of sacred tree?"

Duan De flew over at top speed the moment he saw the withered tree, unable to wait any longer.

"What is the origin of this tree?" Qin Sheng asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the life core of this chaotic pure land. Now that the pure land is about to collapse, it has also reached its end."

Duan De was so excited he trembled. "Those three green leaves, each one has the power to bring the dead back to life, comparable to a medicine king that has been around for over 100,000 years!"

For a Medicine King, 80,000 years is just the threshold; the most precious Medicine Kings are those that have reached 100,000 or even 200,000 years.

"And there are green fruits, which are even more remarkable. They can be called the fruit of life. Although they cannot prolong life, they can keep one alive."

Duan De: "No matter how badly injured you are, as long as you eat the fruit, you can retain your life."

Hearing this, Qin Sheng was also somewhat moved.

"That precious?"

The fat guy's words were definitely an exaggeration, but the fruit's effect shouldn't be much weaker.

“Of course.” Duan De carefully examined the dead tree, then suddenly sighed deeply.

"This divine tree should have also produced a fruit of semi-divine medicinal quality, but it is now nowhere to be found. It must have been picked by Ancestor Kunpeng."

A demigod drug; you can tell what level it is just from the name.

Four and a half divine herbs have an effect that is almost comparable to a single immortal divine herb.

Qin Sheng smiled and said, "A demigod fruit represents a lifespan of more than two thousand years. How could Ancestor Kunpeng be willing to give it up?"

Qin Sheng had no regrets about the demigod medicine; since he had never seen it, he felt no sense of loss.

The gains from the Kunpeng Small World were already astonishing enough, and the Chaos Pure Land was an extra bonus. Whatever was gained, it was all a profit.

"Immortal Qin, hurry, hurry, go and pick them!" Duan De urged, his face flushed with excitement.

It wasn't that Duan De had changed his nature and didn't want the treasure anymore, but rather that there was a small magic array set up by the Kunpeng Ancestor around the green leaves and fruits, which the immoral Taoist dared not break through.

"Will this world be destroyed immediately after the leaves and fruit are taken away?" Qin Sheng asked.

"No, once the last bit of life force in the Pure Land is condensed into these things, the two sides will no longer be related, and it will perish with the passage of time."

Qin Sheng nodded, flew to the top of the dead tree, and found that the leaves and fruits there had been picked.

"It seems that she was indeed taken away by Ancestor Kunpeng. However, the Ancestor is really afraid that her mother's successor will die."

The Void-Transcending Forbidden Artifact, the Great Saint Armor, and now the Life-Sustaining Saint Fruit—all his efforts are focused on enhancing his life-saving abilities.

After picking the fruit and leaves, Qin Sheng checked again to make sure there was nothing else there before landing back down.

Duan De leaned closer naturally, his smile as bright as a chrysanthemum.

"Immortal Qin, as always, we'll split it in half when we meet."

"You're not short of lifespan," Qin Sheng shook his head.

Qin Sheng pondered that giving Duan De the treasure that would prolong his life might actually harm him.

It would be terrible if it delayed my grand funeral as a Heavenly Venerable who had transcended tribulation.

“I am useful, I really am,” Duan De explained.

“Some of my techniques require a huge amount of life force, at least…” Duan De’s eyes darted around.

"It needs the fruit of life, and the vitality of two leaves combined to be enough!"

Qin Sheng chuckled and said, "I don't need your egg."

This is obviously nonsense.

"The Fruit of Life is out of the question, but I can give you the Leaf of Life, but you'll have to exchange it for something else."

"...Another three or five copies of the Imperial Scriptures?"

Qin Sheng looked at Duan De in surprise, "Fellow Daoist, you've even learned to answer first?"

"Uncle Fatty is so smart!" the little girl clapped and shouted.

Duan De: "..."

It feels like I've been humiliated by the doll, but then again, it doesn't feel like I have?
During their conversation, Qin Sheng and his companions flew off to other places, hoping to see if there were any other things in the Chaos Pure Land.

Unfortunately, the world was indeed destroyed, all things were annihilated, and there were no more treasures left.

Before leaving the Chaotic Pure Land, Qin Sheng looked back once.

"It is indeed a good place."
