Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 364 The Miracle of Life

"Has the Heavenly Tribulation ended?"

After the terrifying commotion subsided, Kunling reopened the spatial rift leading to the Chaos Pure Land.

Yi Qingwu and the others carefully crossed the spatial rift, and the scene that came into view stunned them.

Everything turned to ruins; the sky and the earth were annihilated, leaving only fragments drifting in the void.

"The Chaos Pure Land has completely collapsed?" Li Wan looked incredulous.

She vividly remembers crossing several dried-up rivers and traversing countless collapsed mountains while walking in the Pure Land.

"This, is this kind of heavenly tribulation really just a tribulation of severing the Dao?" Yi Qingwu's eyes widened, and she lost her immortal aura.

The Guanghan Palace can be said to be the overlord of the northern land of Luzhou. From its founding to the present day, it has produced many saints, not to mention kings.

There are many records in the sect about the Dao-Slaying Tribulation. Yi Qingwu has read many of them, but none of the stories of the ancestors can be matched with the current situation.

"horrible."

Where is Senior Qin?

The void stretched endlessly, shattered continental plates drifting and obscuring their vision. They couldn't find Qin Sheng. The heavenly tribulation had dissipated, but the Dao Slayer was nowhere to be seen. Could it be...?

died?

“Go find it,” Yi Qingwu said.

"A person like him would never fall easily."

She rushed into the void with her baby in her arms, and Li Wan followed closely behind.

"Big brother will definitely be alright."

The little girl clenched her tiny fists and spoke, but her tone was low, her eyes were brimming with tears, and her expression was completely unconvincing.

I'm about to cry.

A moment later, on the largest piece of land, they spotted that familiar figure. The little girl immediately became excited, waving and shouting:

"Big brother!"

Qin Sheng looked over and smiled at them.

Yi Qingwu and the others landed on the fragment and asked:
"you made it?"

When asked this question, the Moon Goddess subconsciously held her breath.

"Of course," Qin Sheng nodded.

"If we don't succeed, how can we be standing here alive?"

"Big brother is so amazing!" the little girl cheered.

She didn't understand what "severing the Dao" meant; she only knew that Qin Sheng had safely survived the ordeal and had become even more powerful.

Make the girl happy.

"Only a year has passed since you reached the Great Power Perfection stage, and you have already successfully severed your Dao, becoming the first young king of this era," Li Wan exclaimed in admiration.

"Throughout history, there have been few who can rival our predecessors. Our predecessors truly possess the bearing of an emperor!"

Qin Sheng: "..."

Only Li Wan is a Ziwei person. If she were a Beidou person, Qin Sheng would probably think the little girl was being sarcastic.

“Once you sever your path, everything changes. You truly distance yourself from everyone else.” Yi Qingwu’s voice was ethereal, as if filled with endless emotions.

When Yin Tiande was a half-step king, this man was still a mid-level great power. Now, the former is still a half-step king, but the person in front of him has already surpassed him.

My future Daoist partner is inferior to this man in every way.

"In such an environment, under such calamities, you can sever your Dao and become a king. Even if the suppression of the Dao by the previous emperor does not dissipate in the future, you may still be able to become a saint."

Yi Qingwu knew very well that with Qin Sheng's demonstrated talent and combat power, once he became a saint, he would truly have no rivals. Even if other major sects unsealed their secrets, it would probably be of no use.

When the time comes, wielding the imperial weapon, I can wipe out any family I desire.

"The realm of 'Slaying the Dao' is indeed extraordinary." Qin Sheng's eyes revealed a hint of admiration.

“Severing the path, opening the path, and cultivating the path are very different from previous cultivation methods.”

In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, from the Four Extremes Secret Realm onwards, one comprehends the laws of heaven and earth until before the third installment of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series. This process involves seeing the world and is a pure comprehension of external paths.

Once one reaches the third level of the Immortal Realm and leaps to the King Realm, then one must cultivate both inner and outer strength.

The understanding of the myriad principles of heaven and earth will not and cannot stop, but the purpose of enlightenment has changed.

The focus has shifted from simply understanding the universe and its laws to using insights gained from the great principles of the universe to strengthen one's own path.

If we were to forcibly divide the stages of the Dao, then when a cultivator reaches the Dao-severing realm, they would at most be said to have conceived a "Dao Seed".

The relentless climb towards higher realms such as Saint Realm and Saint King is all for the purpose of allowing this "seed" to take root, sprout, and grow strong.

As for when you'll see results, that depends on your goals.

If we only focus on the realm of humanity, then the Great Emperor who attained the Dao would naturally be considered to have obtained the "Dao Fruit".

If there is a grander vision, then the emperor is merely a step in the process.

The little girl ran over with her short legs, hugged Qin Sheng's leg, and looked up at him, saying:
"Big brother, I was so worried about you just now! The thunder was so loud!"

Qin Sheng picked up the little one, affectionately pinched her cheek, and smiled:

"So the big brother has already chased away the thunder that was scaring the little girl."

When I was undergoing my tribulation, you were the most ruthless of all, you two-faced girl!
"Big brother, what are you doing standing here?" the little girl asked curiously.

"There seems to be something here." Qin Sheng glanced at the withered sacred tree.

After successfully transcending the tribulation, Qin Sheng was preparing to leave, but he sensed a strange fluctuation here, so he came here to check the situation.

"The Chaos Pure Land has already been destroyed, so how could there still be anything there?" Yi Qingwu wondered.

"Just look at it and you'll find out."

Qin Sheng arrived at the base of the dead tree, sensed the fluctuations, and opened a hole in the ground.

Then he saw that all the roots of the dead tree, hidden underground, were intertwined together, and a grayish seed the size of a broad bean was wrapped inside.

This is what Qin Sheng sensed.

"Could this be the seed of the divine tree?" Qin Sheng took out the object and carefully examined it.

"There is a very subtle and faint life force inside."

That vitality wasn't weakened by impending death; on the contrary, it revealed a newborn vigor.

“This seed wasn’t here when we last came here,” Yi Qingwu said with certainty.

Duan De was also present when I came to the Chaotic Pure Land a year ago. Given his ruthless nature, he wouldn't let go of anything of value.

This withered sacred tree was the main target of the unscrupulous Taoist priest's search. If the seed that emitted strange fluctuations had existed back then, he would have discovered it long ago.

"It must be because of my tribulation that I appeared," Qin Sheng pondered.

"Life born under the baptism of heavenly tribulation filled with destructive power may be the last hope of the Chaotic Pure Land."

The ultimate form of destruction is creation.

In the original timeline, Ye Fan underwent tribulation in outer space. His Dao resonated with the laws of heaven and earth, causing changes to the power structures he established on Earth, which then radiated divine brilliance capable of eliminating all mortal ailments.

When the Great Dao interacts with the universe, destiny arises naturally.

The path to enlightenment, and then to sainthood—it's all so miraculous. Sensing the condition of this seed, Qin Sheng had a certain guess in his mind.

"A world on the verge of destruction is inherently filled with an aura of annihilation, and the destructive power of the heavenly tribulation brings it to an extreme."

"And the vitality at the end of destruction, and the rebirth of my Great Dao, may have been brought about by the interaction of various forces."

This world provided Qin Sheng with the best environment for cultivating his Dao and the greatest trials; and Qin Sheng also gave back to it, causing a slight change in the Pure Land that should have been peacefully returning to nothingness.

Every sip and every bite is predestined by fate.

Qin Sheng didn't know exactly what kind of seed it was.

"The World Tree...it's definitely not. There's no such thing in the current Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, let alone a Chaotic Pure Land."

Qin Sheng tried to stimulate it, but the faint vitality inside the seed did not change and there was no sign of growth.

"Insufficient conditions?"

Qin Sheng thought for a moment and then carefully put the seeds away.

This thing was created because of him, so if you carry it with you, it will surely grow one day.

"Come on, let's get out of here."

After getting far away from the piece of land, Qin Sheng felt a sense of urgency and looked back.

The withered tree turned to ashes and scattered in the void.

It was the core of the Chaos Pure Land before, but now it has vanished into thin air, signifying that this world has completely become a thing of the past.

In the Kunpeng Small World, Kunling visibly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Qin Sheng return.

Fortunately, my master's successor is still alive, so I don't need to fulfill my mission again.

“You…” Kunling wanted to say something, but stopped, carefully examining Qin Sheng with surprise in her eyes.

"You've directly broken through to the third minor stage of the Dao-Slaying Realm?"

"Yes." Qin Sheng nodded.

Yi Qingwu was shocked and turned to look at Qin Sheng, "How is this possible?"

She was only at the Immortal Level 1 and hadn't been able to discern Qin Sheng's true realm earlier. She thought he had simply broken through to the first stage of the Dao-Slaying Realm. Now, upon suddenly learning the truth, she was completely bewildered.

Our Supreme Master of Guanghan Palace has cultivated for so many years, but he is only at the fourth level of the Dao Severing Realm!
"Nothing is impossible; such breakthroughs are quite normal," Qin Sheng shook his head.

"If I am willing to stay at the threshold of the Dao for a few more years, I can climb higher after I pass the tribulation."

However, Qin Sheng had no need to do that; it would be a losing proposition.

There is a limit to accumulation. Once you reach a certain level, no matter how much you accumulate or how long you stay in this realm, it will be difficult to touch the deeper mysteries of the next realm. This will lead to the marginal effect of cultivation.

In other worlds, there are instances where mortals can become immortals after reciting scriptures for sixty years, but this is impossible in the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

The path to enlightenment is a completely different world. Only after entering this realm and coming into contact with more things can one truly continue on this path.

“…That’s normal.” Yi Qingwu remained silent.

"Truly...unprecedented!" Kunling exclaimed.

“My young master said that the suppression of the Great Dao by the Azure Emperor is about to dissipate and the world is about to recover. You have already taken a big step ahead of the geniuses of this era.”

Although there are many people in ancient history who initially cultivated at an incredibly fast pace, even surpassing the Great Emperors, but later became stuck at a certain level and stopped progressing for life.

But Qin Sheng's talent and combat prowess don't seem like the kind of child prodigy who might not amount to much later in life.

Kunling believes that the advantage lies with me on the path to becoming an emperor!

Yi Qingwu felt strange, as if she had been attacked.

She was the contemporary prodigy that Kunling had mentioned, who was far ahead of Qin Sheng—no, several steps ahead.

"The third minor step of the Dao-Slaying Realm, with Senior Qin's previous combat prowess, wouldn't he be able to slaughter a Saint by now?" Li Wan was shocked.

Kunling and Yi Qingwu shook their heads simultaneously, with the former saying:
“Sages, strictly speaking, are already another kind of life form, no longer human. Cultivators below the level of sages are separated from them by the barrier of the sage realm, which can block all non-sage forces.”

"If one wants to kill a saint without the help of external forces, then the only way is to cultivate to the level of a half-saint and then trigger the divine restriction to break the barrier of the saint's domain in one fell swoop. Only then will there be hope of defeating a saint."

“The gap is too big,” Yi Qingwu said. “The difference between saints and non-saints is like heaven and earth. The Guanghan Palace records many examples of peerless geniuses who attempted to defy the heavens and attack saints, but without exception, they all failed.”

"The Saint Realm is indeed an extraordinary realm," Qin Sheng nodded.

In the original timeline, when Master Ye was at the sixth level of Dao, he wanted to kill a Saint. His opponent was a Saint who had just broken through and whose talent and combat power were not top-notch. He was a weakling in the Saint Realm.

However, both Hei Huang and Duan De agreed that there was no hope and advised him not to go and die.

Duan De said something similar to Kun Ling, believing that it would be possible to fight a saint only after Ye Fan reached the level of a half-saint and was granted divine protection.

Duan De's insight and Ye Fan's combat strength are beyond doubt. Both in theory and in practice, they have denied the possibility that Ye Fan, who is at the sixth level of the Dao-Slaying Realm, could defeat a Saint.

Faced with the barrier of the Holy Domain, the Eight Forbidden Rules are probably rendered ineffective and no longer serve their purpose.

Even after reaching the first level of the Dao-Slaying Realm, the Eight Forbidden Domains, and triggering the Divine Forbidden Domain to reach the extreme number of nine, one's combat power cannot reach the first level of the Saint Realm.

The Eight Prohibitions are "illusory," only the Divine Prohibition is "real."

Ignoring the Eight Forbidden Rules, only when one's basic cultivation combined with the Divine Forbidden Rules can break through the barrier of the Saint Realm can one truly have the opportunity to fight a Saint.

"A half-saint is also called a saint. This is the foundation for those who have just entered the realm of divine forbiddenness to break through the barrier of the sainthood."

Later, Ye Fan did indeed kill a saint, but he was cunning. He lured that ancient saint into the Desolate Forbidden Land, allowing the power of the forbidden land to imprison most of the saint's Dao principles and magic power.

This forces even a dignified saint to fight the sacred body head-on, while being eroded by the power of the wilderness, with his lifespan constantly draining and all negative buffs maxed out.

Even so, Master Ye's battle against the saint was not easy. He sacrificed his Three Pure Ones body to perish together with the ancient saint in the forbidden area.

It should be noted that apart from not being able to trigger divine restrictions, the Three Pure Ones Body is no different from the original body in any other aspect; the primordial spirit, physical body, and secret techniques are all the same.

It's clear that if Ye Fan were to fight a Saint in his true form, his fate wouldn't be good either.

They won't die, but they will definitely be seriously injured.

"A saint is that powerful?" After hearing some of Yi Qingwu's comments, Li Wan gasped.

"The main problem is the existence of the immortal holy domain barrier," Qin Sheng said.

This is formed by the combination of holy positions and the laws of saints, and it is a crushing of the level of life.

Like the world of the first lifetime, the exterior scenery can barely be considered as still practicing martial arts, but the Dharma body has already become an immortal.

"In short, remember to be careful when facing a sage," Kunling first warned, then asked:
"Do you need to consolidate your cultivation level?"

After successfully severing one's Dao, one generally needs to consolidate one's cultivation to stabilize one's Dao; otherwise, in the most extreme case, there is a risk of falling from one's cultivation level.

After all, the great path is newly born and the new road is just beginning to open; it is still very immature.

"No need," Qin Sheng shook his head.

Breaking through three barriers in a row proves the solidity of Qin Sheng's Dao, especially considering he achieved it in such a harsh environment.

If the Dao is not firm, it will crumble during tribulation.

“However, I plan to cultivate here for a while,” Qin Sheng added.

Having severed his path to become a king, he gained a great deal of insight. The Wushang Secret Pattern and the Xuanhuang World, among others, showed him the direction for progress.

Most importantly, Qin Sheng also needs to cultivate the Kunpeng Clan's bloodline secret technique—Yin Yang True Form—to assist the Undying Tree branch and balance the excess Yin and Yang power within his body caused by reversing the myriad paths.

This is a matter of life and death, so it cannot be taken lightly.

Ye Fan was cunning, but Qin Sheng also valued his life.
