Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 372: There is always a mountain higher than another
Zhu Kun kept the matter of the ancient emperor's inheritance a secret from Qin Sheng, and Qin Sheng knew what he was thinking.

He simply wanted to wait until Qin Sheng took away the Emperor-grade embryonic pill, and then secretly take away the ancient emperor's inheritance.

That's what he did in the original storyline.

At that time, Hun Tiandi stole the Emperor-grade embryonic pill and began to break through to the Dou Di realm, while Zhu Kun moved the Strange Fire Plaza and began to explore the ancient emperor's inheritance alone, trying to advance to the Dou Di realm as well.

Unfortunately, the ancient emperor's legacy was not prepared for him, and Zhu Kun was unable to activate and inherit the power of the ancient emperor Tuoshe no matter what he did.

Under pressure from the impending ascension of the Soul Emperor, Zhu Kun had no choice but to inform others of the matter. In the end, Xiao Yan was chosen by the ancient emperor's inheritance and became the Flame Emperor.

Qin Sheng didn't say much about the old Dragon Emperor's little scheme. It was perfectly normal for him to be tempted by the opportunity to become a Dou Di.

Since her daughter is on her side, Zhu Kun is destined to be stuck on this sinking ship.

But Zi Yan exploded, "You secretly concealed the news of the ancient emperor's inheritance, are you planning to take the inheritance behind Qin Sheng's back?"

"Qin Sheng saved you, and you still act like this? You're such a bad person!"

"Don't talk to me again!"

Zi Yan bared her teeth and brandished her claws, looking as if she wanted to sever her father-daughter relationship with Zhu Kun.

Qin Sheng felt extremely gratified, knowing that he hadn't raised you in vain.

Zhu Kun felt a pang of sadness and explained in a humble voice:
"Here we have a nascent Emperor-grade pill, as well as the Emperor's Origin left behind by the ancient Emperor Tuoshe, which can create two Dou Di."

"If I can become a Dou Di and activate the Dou Di bloodline, you can immediately become an eight-star Dou Sheng."

"That's no excuse for you to steal Qin Sheng's things!" Zi Yan said angrily.

"You're right, it's all my fault, I repent." Zhu Kun was very obedient.

"Why is there such a commotion in the Emperor's Cave?"

At this moment, a weathered and indifferent voice rang out, seemingly coming from all directions and omnipresent.

However, Qin Sheng immediately pinpointed the true source of the sound. On the shoulder of the statue of Emperor Tuoshe stood an old man with strikingly bright, flame-like hair.

The old man's face was exactly the same as that of the ancient emperor.

"Tushegu Emperor?!" Zhukun exclaimed in surprise.

"It's a nascent Emperor-grade pill," Qin Sheng revealed the old man's identity.

Even the patriarch of the Pill Tower, who was at the ninth-grade Xuan Dan level, could transform into a spirit, let alone this supreme pill that barely made it into the ranks of emperors.

The Emperor-grade embryonic core looked over, first landing on the lotus on Qin Sheng's shoulder.

"Pure Lotus Demon Flame, was it you who told them about me? Are you here to fulfill our promise?"

Lian shook her head. "I don't know you, and I don't understand what you're talking about."

"What do you mean?" The expression on the face of the Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator turned cold.

"If I hadn't helped you and Void Devouring Flame escape back then, where would you have gotten your freedom? We made a promise then that after you left, you would find a way to rescue me."

This is a typical case of first getting out of trouble and then helping others get out of trouble.

Unfortunately, the ideal was far from reality, and this was clearly a failure.

"What about the Void Devouring Flame?" Chu Dan asked.

"It has already fused with the Pure Lotus Demon Flame." Qin Sheng examined the Emperor-grade embryonic pill and expressed his approval.

"It is indeed a good pill."

It is not only a good pill, but also very powerful.

In the original timeline, Gu Yuan, Zhu Kun, Hun Tiandi, and Xu Wu Tun Yan, four nine-star Dou Sheng, fought together against the Emperor-grade embryonic pill, but they could not defeat it.

If it weren't for the Void Devouring Flame's Divine Pill Transformation Technique of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, which is a natural counter to the nascent pill, they wouldn't have been able to subdue the nascent pill; they would probably have been killed by a single pill instead.

"Humans, and that ancient dragon."

The Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator said in a chilling tone, "You've come for me, haven't you? Two Nine-Star Dou Sheng dare to plot against me? You and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, all of you, stay here!"

"If we can't get out, you can't leave either!"

Trapped here by the ancient emperor Tuoshe, it had no idea what was happening outside and thought that Qin Sheng and the others had entered through the ancient jade.

Two nine-star Dou Sheng, nothing but weaklings!
The Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator took the initiative and struck out with a palm, its light dazzling and containing the power to destroy everything.

However, the cave space was extremely solid, and this unparalleled palm strike failed to shake the void here in the slightest.

Just like a Dou Di who was invincible in the Dou Qi Continent, it would be difficult for him to destroy the world after ascending, because the environment of heaven and earth is different.

The space of the vast world is even more stable than the ancient emperor's cave, and the same is true for the suppression of soul perception.

The only good news is that it's not common practice in this world to capture ascended beings to mine.

"Brother Qin, let me get this pill for you!" Zhu Kun shouted, his purple-gold light surging as his ancient dragon claws reached out.

He wasn't trying to steal the pills; he genuinely wanted to prove himself and salvage his image in Zi Yan's eyes.

Daughter, watch closely, your father is very strong!
"puff!"

When the Ancient Dragon Claw and the Young Dan Palm collided, Zhu Kun was struck so hard that he bled profusely and was forced to retreat three thousand feet.

"Heh, you dare to challenge me, the Emperor, without even understanding the difference in strength?" The Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator sneered.

"You don't even have a sliver of a chance."

"I was careless, Brother Qin. I'm sorry I couldn't get it for you." Zhu Kun flew back, his aura weak, and he seemed to be questioning his existence.

Two experts far stronger than myself appeared in one day. This world feels so unfamiliar.

"Are you alright?" Zi Yan asked, her eyes wide.

My daughter is concerned about me!

"Of course it's alright, I am the Ancient Dragon of the Void!" Zhu Kun straightened his back.

No pain!

Qin Sheng realized that the old Dragon Emperor had a bit of a comedic talent.

"Leave it to me." Qin Sheng didn't say much, and struck out with his palm, aiming straight for the Emperor-grade embryonic core.

Quasi-Emperor Rank Battle Skill: Normal Attack!
"Overestimating yourself." The Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator sneered and struck out with his own palm.

boom!
The cave space, which had been completely still, suddenly began to shake, and cracks appeared.

The young Emperor-grade Core Formation cultivator was terrified, his voice trembling, "You are Dou..."

Unfortunately, it will never be able to finish saying that sentence.

Qin Sheng struck down with his palm, unleashing a surge of strange fire. Even without the Ancient Emperor's Core Formation Divine Technique, the nascent core was forced back into its true form.

It was a dazzling ball of light the size of a human head, not a regular pill, but an energy body as brilliant as the Milky Way.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Kun immediately realized the gap between himself and Qin Sheng.

"I made a fool of myself just now," Zhu Kun said, feeling ashamed.

"Hmph, it really is ugly." Zi Yan raised her chin.

Zhu Kun was not annoyed but rather pleased. He was happy as long as Zi Yan was willing to talk to him.

"Is this the Emperor-grade embryonic pill?" Zi Yan stared at the ball of light with curiosity.

"Such enormous energy! It feels like it could burst a Dou Sheng!"

“You’re right. Even a late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng would explode and die after consuming a nascent pill.” Qin Sheng nodded.

"It is not yet fully formed, unlike a real Teitan."

The Emperor Pill is used to help people break through to higher levels. Its medicinal power is controllable. Even if a Dou Sheng who meets the cultivation requirements fails to break through after consuming it, there will be no danger.

The power of the nascent pill has not yet been refined or tamed. To refine it, one must be extremely careful and peel back the layers one by one.

"In fact, the best choice is to actually refine it before consuming it," Zhu Kun said with some emotion.

"But where on the continent today can we find an alchemist who can refine Emperor Pills? Not to mention anything else, the energy of heaven and earth is not enough to support its formation."

"I can refine it." Qin Sheng said calmly, carefully putting away the embryonic pill.

"I am the number one alchemist on the continent."

"Qin Sheng's skill level is really high!" Zi Yan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Zhu Kun was surprised, but then he understood when he thought about the strange fire that Qin Sheng controlled.

"Hey!" Zi Yan looked at Zhu Kun.

"Where is the legacy of Emperor Tuoshe? Tell me quickly so Qin Sheng can retrieve it."

Zhu Kun felt a pang of regret, but still gave the answer, "That statue is it, but to obtain the inheritance, some conditions need to be met. I don't know the specifics."

"What? What you said is as good as saying nothing at all," Zi Yan said, dissatisfied.

All that's left here is an ancient temple and a statue. If there's no legacy inside the temple, then the statue is practically an admission of guilt.

My father is weak and doesn't know as much as Qin Sheng. He's so useless!
Lian, who had been quietly resting on Qin Sheng's shoulder and seemed lost in many complex memories, suddenly spoke while staring at the ancient emperor statue.

"If the legacy is inside... then I can open it."

Qin Sheng was not surprised.

Based on the original timeline, the Void Devouring Flame and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame each possessed a method to unlock a Dou Di opportunity.

The former's Elixir Transformation Technique is specifically designed to counter nascent elixirs; the latter's power itself is the key to unlocking inheritance.

These second and third ranked strange flames do indeed have unique features.

In a sense, the primordial energy left behind by Emperor Tuoshe was prepared for the two of them, which can be considered as a bond between different flames.

"Go ahead and try it. If it doesn't work, I'll force it open," Qin Sheng said.

Zhu Kun: "..."

Sometimes, I even wonder who is the real Dou Di powerhouse between Tuoshe Ancient Emperor and Brother Qin.

The lotus floated up and flew to the chest of the statue, from which a beam of fire shot out.

Then, ripples spread across the surface of the stone statue, and a large hole appeared in its chest, from which a halo of light spread out, instantly enveloping the entire Strange Fire Plaza.

The aura was accompanied by an extremely terrifying pressure that Zi Yan could not withstand and almost knelt down, but Qin Sheng supported her.

Even with Zhu Kun's strength, he was trembling.

Even a nine-star Dou Sheng couldn't withstand the pressure from a Dou Di.

Qin Sheng's soul power surged forth, dispelling the oppressive aura, and he said at the same time:

"I'll go in and take a look. You all wait for me here."

"Be careful," Zi Yan said with concern.

Qin Sheng nodded, and in a flash, he was already inside the statue's chest.

"This is what a Dou Di is like." Zhu Kun sighed deeply.

Before he became the gatekeeper for Emperor Tuoshe, he roamed the continent and few could rival him, but he was utterly helpless in front of a Dou Di.

Below the Emperor of War, all are but ants.

The moment Qin Sheng stepped inside the statue, he felt a probe trying to check his fighting spirit and even his soul.

Not just anyone can receive the inheritance of the ancient emperor. If a problem is detected, you will be rejected outright.

However, when faced with this probe, Qin Sheng forcefully rejected it from his body and then went straight in.

The space seemed to distort slightly, and an endless sea of ​​fire appeared before Qin Sheng—this was the inheritance space.

"You are special; even the methods I left behind cannot detect your condition," an aged voice rang out.

In the center of the sea of ​​fire, a giant flame bud appeared and slowly bloomed. An old man, whose appearance was exactly the same as that of the ancient emperor statue, sat on it with a smile on his face.

This way of making an entrance gave Qin Sheng a strong sense of déjà vu.

An elderly Nezha?
