Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 359 A year in a hurry

After learning about the situation of the Chaos Pure Land from Qin Sheng, Kunling didn't say much.

"The destruction of the Pure Land should not affect the Kunpeng Nest. Let the rest go."

Kunling looked at Qin Sheng and said, "You have the Kunpeng Token, so you can come back here anytime. If you encounter a difficult enemy, this place can become your safe haven."

"I will," Qin Sheng nodded.

Many of Kunpeng Quasi-Emperor's arrangements have been lost to time, but Kunpeng Ancestor only left a thousand years ago. His reinforcement of the small world made it virtually impregnable. It might not be strong enough for offense, but it was more than enough for defense.

Almost no one can break through the Quasi-Emperor Formation on the ancient Ziwei Star, unless a second Kunpeng Ancestor appears.

But that's probably impossible.

Not to mention now, even around the time when the Great Emperor was first born, Quasi-Emperors were extremely rare.

Such a person, deep within the universe, is capable of ruling over entire star systems, commanding the cosmos, and none dare disobey.

"What kind of being are you?" Duan De asked curiously.

Kunling did not answer his question, seemingly unwilling to elaborate.

She must be some kind of special spirit, but how she was formed and what she depends on for her existence are still unknown.

"If I were to set foot in the starry sky and venture into the depths of the universe in the future, would there be any way to find the Kunpeng Ancestor?" Qin Sheng asked.

If the Kunpeng Ancestor has already met with misfortune in pursuit of his dream of enlightenment, then there's nothing that can be done.

However, if he hasn't killed himself yet, or if in the original story, the Kunpeng Ancestor died because of the Dark Turmoil, not from cultivation, then Qin Sheng felt he could find an opportunity to try and make contact with this quasi-emperor.

Kunling pondered for a moment, carefully recalling the events, and finally said uncertainly:
"If that day ever comes, you can go and take a look at the Shencang Star Region. I've heard my master mention it before."

"It was on the ancient star Shencang that she gained inspiration, discovered the secret technique of Yin-Yang True Form, and further created the Kunpeng Yin-Yang Dao Body there."

“The young master might go there.”

"Shencang Ancient Star... I've never heard of it." Qin Sheng shook his head.

"I'll go if I have the chance later."

It's perfectly normal for the world of Shrouding the Heavens to contain star regions and ancient stars that Qin Sheng is unaware of.

After all, the original timeline's story takes place on those few ancient stars and the ancient star road.

And places like the Big Dipper, Ziwei, Eternity, and Flying Immortal Star cannot possibly be the entirety of the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

Since Ye Fan had never been to or heard of the place, Qin Sheng naturally didn't know either.

Having completed all matters concerning the Kunpeng's legacy, Qin Sheng took his leave.

"Kunling, see you in the future."

Once I have cultivated to a sufficiently high level, I can resurrect your master to repay the kindness shown to me today.

However, there was no need to say this aloud; even if it were told to Kunling, she wouldn't believe it.

In the singular world of "Covering the Sky," there have always been only similar flowers; there has never been a case of someone who has been dead for hundreds of thousands or millions of years being brought back to life from the brink of death.

Even the most ruthless person couldn't achieve it after a lifetime of research—no, several lifetimes.

As Kunling watched Qin Sheng and his group leave the small world, its figure gradually faded away.

"I hope to hear news of your enlightenment."

At that time, perhaps we can barely say that the Kunpeng Quasi-Emperor nurtured a Great Emperor.

Qin Sheng and his companions reappeared above the abyss of the North Sea. The entrance to the whirlpool behind them immediately collapsed, and the small world vanished without a trace.

"This place is truly secluded; even a quasi-emperor might miss it right in front of him," Duan De said, looking around.

"Immortal Qin, we shall part ways here."

He didn't want to spend another second with the man surnamed Qin; the sky over Ziwei was as dark as the North Sea.

"Let's try not to see each other in the future. You go your way, and I'll go mine."

Duan De learned this phrase from Ye Fan.

"Fellow Daoist, you're quite the two-faced one," Qin Sheng said with a smile.
"When you need someone, you can't shake them off; when you don't need them, they won't say a kind word."

Duan De rolled his eyes. "You still have the nerve to say that? You got off easy this time. I'm being lenient by not biting you to death!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Sheng felt a little curious.

If Duan De fails in one of his reincarnations and becomes an ultimate zombie, an ancient zongzi, what would happen if he took a bite?
Unfortunately, there wasn't that opportunity, otherwise we could have let the zombie Duan De bite the Black Emperor.

"The Taiyin Divine Sect has a fragment of the Emperor's Seal. Aren't you going to go and take a look?" Qin Sheng said.

Duan De stared at Qin Sheng for a long time, then chuckled coldly.

"You previously mentioned that Ziwei had the Sun Emperor Tower, but it disappeared without a trace. Now, it seems there are fragments of the Human Emperor's Seal..."

"I don't believe you for a second. The Taiyin Divine Sect definitely doesn't have such a thing, otherwise how could it have turned out like this?"

"Trying to lie to me again!"

Qin Sheng was disappointed; his good brother had suddenly evolved and gained intelligence.

"I'm leaving, and I'll never see you again!" Duan De turned around, speaking more directly this time.

"Wait, you're not leaving Ziwei, are you?" Qin Sheng realized this and called out to Duan De.

“I’ve said before that my coming here was just a coincidence, and the way back is nowhere to be found,” Duan De categorically denied.

"I can't go back until I find a new path; I'm currently a wanderer who can't return home."

Hehe, I'll be going back in a while, you bastard, you can cry while looking in the direction of the Big Dipper from now on!
Duan De had no intention of returning immediately; he wanted to make one last profit in Ziwei.

Anyway, he won't be hanging around here anymore. That wicked Taoist priest is planning to pull off a big heist. No matter how angry the Ziwei cultivator is, he can't possibly go to Beidou to cause trouble for him.

There's nothing more exciting than doing something bad and then running away.

This theft will be insane.

Currently, Duan De is selecting victims, determined to find a big fat sheep to maximize his profits, and he thinks the Taiyin Cult is a good choice.

It's because when he dug up the ancestral graves of the Golden Crow clan, the Taiyin God Prince Duanmu Ming came out to support the Golden Crow.

Besides... what if there really is a fragment of the Emperor's Seal?

This is just insatiable greed.

"But you, you're not leaving, are you?" Duan De asked again to confirm.

"If you know where there's a star altar leading to the Big Dipper, remember to take me with you, let's go back together."

Duan De made up his mind that as long as he learned about the Star Path from Qin Sheng, he would secretly try to destroy it.

I've traveled from Beidou to Ziwei, and you've been chasing after me. Now that I'm going back to Beidou, I absolutely won't let you follow me back.

"I already told you, there's something wrong with the Jiang family's altar. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself. I have no reason to lie to you about this, and I wouldn't be able to anyway," Qin Sheng sighed.

"Furthermore, it's unknown when Fairy Caiyun will emerge from seclusion. I'm afraid I'll have to wait until I become a saint and cross the starry sky on my own before I can go home."

Dezi, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?
Qin Sheng was certain that Duan De possessed a path back to the past, and his current secrecy stemmed from a desire to prevent Qin Sheng from joining him.

Fortunately, I, Qin, also have the Eight Views Palace as a fallback option.

Fellow Daoist, after you return, I should be able to reappear before you soon, and give you a surprise.

"Sigh." Duan De sighed dramatically, but inwardly he was overjoyed. "We are brothers, stranded in a foreign land, and the hardships we face are beyond what outsiders can understand. I'm leaving now. If you find the Starry Sky Altar, remember to let me know, and I will do the same."

"Don't worry, I'll keep you in my heart as a brother!"

Qin Sheng looked at Duan De, whose chubby back was incredibly agile, and he quickly disappeared at the junction of the sky and the sea.

Dezi, if we meet again in Ziwei, that would be fine. But if we meet again in Beidou, I hope we can all smile.

As the saying goes, "Brothers who have survived all tribulations remain, and a smile at a reunion can erase all enmity."

"Master Duan is truly a free and easy person," Yi Qingwu said.

"He's not carefree, he's looking down on us," Qin Sheng stated the truth.

"Big brother, Uncle Fatty definitely won't be coming back." The little girl blinked, showing her quick wit.

“What the little girl said makes sense.”

"Nannan really likes being with Uncle Fatty; he's a lot of fun."

Nanyan was overjoyed.

“Senior Qin, if you are unable to return to Beidou Ancient Star in the near future, the Sun God Cult will always welcome you,” Li Wan said.

"If that's the case, then I'll definitely be bothering you." Qin Sheng nodded with a smile.

“According to ancient records, it was also a very dangerous thing for a sage to travel to the stars, and there was a great chance of getting lost.” Yi Qingwu touched the little girl.

"Perhaps only by cultivating to the level of a Great Sage can one roam the universe at will."

This is true.

In the original timeline, Ye Fan's first departure from Beidou in full view of everyone, followed by his return, shocked all parties.

Many people say that the Holy Body has accomplished things that only Great Sages and Emperors can do, and there must be a great secret behind it.

As the pinnacle of the sacred path, the Great Sage possesses incredible power.

In the chaotic ancient era, when true supreme beings did not appear, cultivators who broke through to a realm corresponding to the Great Sage were sometimes called supreme figures, or minor supreme beings.

Although this is a flattering title, it also shows how terrifying the Great Sage's level is.

No one would call the Four Extremes Secret Realm a minor emperor unless that person is named Ji Haoyue.

"You should hope that after I become a saint, I immediately enter the starry sky, then get lost forever and never come back, instead of reminding me of the dangers of venturing into the starry sky," Qin Sheng corrected.

"Fairy of the Moon Palace, maintain your fairy demeanor. Be aloof, proud, and unyielding, do you understand?"

Yi Qingwu: "..."

Sometimes I really want to drag this man down with me, but unfortunately, I'm powerless to do so.

And the child is still young.

"Judging from what Senior Qin and Daoist Duan said, do they have plans to take action against the Taiyin Divine Sect?" Li Wan asked with some concern.

"Although the bloodline of the Taiyin Human Emperor has been severed, the strength of the Taiyin Divine Sect should not be underestimated."

The Sun God Cult has declined to the point of near extinction, but the Taiyin lineage is still considered a top-tier sect in Ziwei, and remains extremely prominent.

"Does the Taiyin Divine Sect still have the Great Emperor's Formation?" Qin Sheng asked.

"No."

Li Wan shook her head. "Both major religions have experienced too many things and encountered many changes. The Taiyin Divine Sect is indeed better off than us. Its ancient scriptures have not been interrupted, but much of its foundation has been exhausted."

Qin Sheng then looked at Yi Qingwu and asked again, "Does the Taiyin Divine Sect have a Quasi-Emperor Formation for protection?"

"Before the Human Queen was slaughtered, the Taiyin Divine Sect had already lost its imperial majesty and its strength was about the same as that of a normal major sect. It had not produced a quasi-emperor for a long time."

Yi Qingwu gave a negative answer, "A quasi-emperor formation should not exist."

This level of magic array cannot last forever; normally, it will be worn away by a long period of time.

"Then that's not a problem."

If it were a great imperial lineage like the Ji family or Yaochi, Qin Sheng would never be so reckless as to make a move at this stage. Even the quasi-emperors deep in the starry sky couldn't defeat the Ji family.

However, the two great religions, Taiyin and Taiyang, which have been passed down for millions of years, have been through many storms and have experienced darkness and turmoil more than once. All their glory has passed away.

When the Supreme Being harvests the great medicines of the world, apart from the strong, he most likes to eat the descendants of the Great Emperor who are not protected by imperial weapons.

"The Taiyin Divine Sect has the foundation of a sage and the Great Sage Formation, which is also very terrifying," Yi Qingwu added.

The imperial weapons are unpredictable, but the sage has the advantage of being on the main ground, and I personally think that the Moon Goddess can't do anything to him.

Qin Sheng smiled and didn't bring up the topic again.

"Let's go and continue our journey that was interrupted earlier." Qin Sheng looked towards the vast North Sea.

Lao Tzu left Hangu Pass to the west, and purple clouds filled the sky for 30,000 miles. Qin Sheng wanted to go south to the North Sea and tour the eight directions on behalf of Heaven.

"Yay!" the little girl cheered.

"Let's go play!"

“You know this place best, so you will lead the way and take us to the places worth visiting,” Qin Sheng said to Yi Qingwu.

This most beautiful woman in Ziwei began to fulfill her duties as both maid and coachman.

A day later, Qin Sheng and his group arrived at a magnificent place.

The sea was still dark, but the sky was incredibly bright, shimmering with iridescent light, like the aurora borealis.

"So beautiful!" the little girl exclaimed.

“Some information is known only to the sea creatures of the North Sea,” Yi Qingwu whispered.

"It is said that there is a saint in Beihai. This is true. Two thousand years ago, a saint spread the Tao here and influenced heaven and earth."

"This scene is the change brought about by the transformation of the sage into the Dao. Unfortunately, no immortal Dao bones were left behind."

Those who develop Daoist bones after attaining Dao are actually exceptions.

"The Daoist charm is rich, not bad." Qin Sheng nodded.

As the Sun Chariot approached the aurora, he carefully contemplated the charm of heaven and earth, and felt the Tao and Dharma of that sage, gaining some insights.

Seven days later, they arrived at an endless abyss in the North Sea.

The scene here is strange; a whirlpool exists eternally in the sea, its depths unfathomable.

"Legend has it that this is the place where the Great Emperor Hengyu eternally imprisoned a person of great sin. It is called the Abyss of Sin. No one knows how deep it is. Those who go down there never come back up."

"then……"

A month later, Qin Sheng and his group returned to the mainland and began to operate in Luzhou, heading to various scenic spots.

Qin Sheng is on the road.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was a year since I left Kunpeng Nest.

The Heavenly Abyss north of the North Sea, the most treacherous Blood Cave of Ten Thousand Spirits in Luzhou, the Heavenly Divine Mountain in Hezhou, the boundless wilderness of Buzhou...

Qin Sheng and his companions left their footprints in many famous places on the ancient Ziwei star, tirelessly traversing mountains and rivers as if they were nothing.

If one does not enter the mortal world, experience the sea of ​​suffering, or see the heavens and earth, how can one know the true meaning of the Tao, how can one see through the illusion of worldly affairs, see one's own Tao nature, and attain the supreme Tao?
