Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 97 Attacking the Ancient God's Dojo
The northern region is vast, but the scenery is monotonous. Ye Fan initially found it novel, but later grew tired of the sights.

"I still feel that the Southern Region is better," he commented.

"Then shall I send you back to the Ji family?"

"No thanks, I can't accept that." Ye Fan immediately refused.

"I will never go to the Ji family again in my life."

Ah, man, your name is fickle.

On an oasis that is about ten miles long and wide, there is a village.

This village is small, with only a few dozen households, and all the houses are built of stone.

In the far distance, there is a solitary, purplish-brown stone mountain, thousands of meters high, its body completely bare, devoid of any vegetation or even soil.

Qin Sheng observed carefully from a distance and nodded.

"It should be right here."

"Are there any clues to the Yaochi Ancient Scripture here?" Ye Fan asked with some doubt.

This village is too ordinary; it doesn't seem to have any connection to holy sites or imperial scriptures.

"Do you understand Yaochi better than I do?"

Just then, dust rose from the ground, and a dozen people riding horses with the bloodline of exotic beasts rushed in from afar and entered the stone village.

"Listen up, hand over five jin of Yuan within a month, or you know best what I can do!"

"Still dare to resist? Beat them! Six blows per second, no more, no less!"

"...That girl is quite pretty. Let's take her and let the brothers have some fun!"

A rough shout came from the stone village and reached Qin Sheng and Ye Fan's ears.

Qin Sheng said to Ye Fan, "This is the Northern Region. It is not paradise. On the contrary, it is a bloody and chaotic place."

The air in the northern region is never sweet; instead, it is filled with the stench of blood.

"Can I make a move?"

Ye Fan's eyes flashed with murderous intent; it was his nature to not tolerate the bullying of the weak.

"Go ahead, they're just a bunch of bandits. Even if they have someone backing them, they're definitely just a small, insignificant sect." Qin Sheng nodded.

A group of bandits, whose strongest were no more than at the Divine Bridge Realm, naturally didn't require his intervention.

The two rode the divine rainbow into the stone stronghold. Ye Fan unleashed his divine power, killing most of the bandits and leaving only their leader alive.

The people of Shizhai were very grateful, and the girl who was almost kidnapped kept kowtowing to him.

Qin Sheng approached the village chief of Shizhai and inquired:

"Elder, do you know the origins of this band of bandits?"

"The leader is called Chen Big Beard. He's a scourge, always on the move," the old man replied.

Chen the Bearded Man?

Qin Sheng's heart stirred, and he transmitted his voice to Ye Fan:

"Eliminate evil completely. Take Chen Da Hu Zi back to their stronghold and wipe out all the bandits."

Ye Fan nodded; he had the same idea.

Qin Sheng stayed in Shizhai and chatted with the people there.

The person in charge of the village was respectfully called Master Zhang Wu. After learning this title, Qin Sheng confirmed that this was the place where the descendants of Master Yuan Tian lived.

Found the right place.

The Source Master is the highest level in the field of Source Arts in the Eastern Wilderness. It has been many years since such a master of Source Arts has appeared.

Of course, this so-called "supreme" is relative to the current era of hardship, just as a great being can be revered during this period.

The commonly understood concept of a Source Master is still far from the true pinnacle of Source Arts.

"You don't need to worry, Ye Fan will eradicate this band of bandits and prevent them from committing evil again."

"Thank you both, young men." Master Zhang was very grateful and had tea served.

Ye Fan returned late at night, looking travel-worn and exuding a murderous aura.

After chatting with Master Zhang and the others, Ye Fan found Qin Sheng and said mysteriously:

"Immortal Qin, I have discovered something extraordinary."

He took out a piece of broken ancient jade, which was engraved with many mountain and river patterns, like a map.

Furthermore, there is an extremely blurry character on the ancient jade, almost impossible to read.

emperor!
"I found this at Chen Dahuzi's stronghold. Do you think this character 'Emperor' might be related to the ancient emperors?" Ye Fan asked with some longing.

The ancient emperors were the pinnacle of human achievement.

The ancient scriptures they created are known as immortal scriptures, and the ultimate weapons they left behind can ensure the longevity of aristocratic families and holy lands.

Qin Sheng nodded, "It is indeed something left behind by a great emperor."

This is the Jade of the Beginningless Emperor. There are nine pieces in total, but if you only have one, it's not very useful.

Ye Fan became excited, "Then we might be able to obtain the inheritance of a great emperor."

"Forget about it. This piece of imperial jade is obviously incomplete. It's too difficult to piece it together."

Even if you manage to gather them all, the Beginningless Scripture is specifically for cultivating the innate sacred body Dao embryo, and the Beginningless Bell guards the place.

If you were from an ancient race and collected all nine pieces of the Emperor Jade, and wanted to see the Beginningless Scripture, your soul would be shaken to death.

Without the Imperial Jade, one cannot inherit the legacy. One must collect all the Imperial Jade before proceeding.

It's a lie; you won't receive the inheritance anyway.

"Let's settle down here first."

Zhang Wuye and the others welcomed the two men's request to rest in the village.

Out of gratitude for the two men's righteous help, the village treated them very warmly, and during a casual chat, Uncle Zhang also revealed some information.

"My ancestors were very distinguished. One of them was a Source Master who made the major holy families of the Eastern Wilderness turn green with shame. He also had a close relationship with the Yaochi Holy Land and was an off-site worshipper of Yaochi."

"Source Master, that is the highest achievement in the art of Source Techniques."

Master Zhang sighed with a look of nostalgia, "Unfortunately, a thousand years ago, an ancestor disobeyed the ancestral teachings, entered that demonic mountain, and even took the Origin Book with him."

"That ancestor never came out again, the Heavenly Book was lost, and the lineage of the Source Celestial Master completely disappeared in the Eastern Wilderness."

Ye Fan was very curious about Master Yuan. He asked Master Zhang about Master Yuan's abilities in detail and was greatly intrigued after learning about them.

He finally understood why Qin Sheng had said that this method would be of great use to him when he taught him the Origin Technique.

"My future cultivation resources will likely depend on Origin Techniques," Ye Fan thought to himself.

"However," Qin Sheng said, as if he knew what Ye Fan was thinking, and poured cold water on his thoughts at the right moment.

"Master Yuan will have an unfortunate old age."

Master Zhang nodded, “Yes, every generation of Yuan Tian Masters would encounter some terrible things in their later years. For example, the first ancestor of my Zhang family grew red hair and mysteriously disappeared.”

The Source Masters are not only highly skilled in Source Techniques, but they are also all extremely powerful.

However, none of the successive Yuan Tian Masters could resist the ominous signs of their later years, because the source of these ominous signs was beyond the imagination of their time.

"Demon Mountain, do you mean that Purple Mountain?" Ye Fan pointed to the divine peak on the horizon.

"That place is far from simple; it's a taboo subject that all the major holy lands and aristocratic families must avoid discussing," Qin Sheng said.

Zishan, formerly known as Guhuangshan, was originally the territory of the ancient god Immortal Emperor. Later, the Great Emperor Wushi also visited it.

The two emperors and empresses who ranked among the strongest in history both had a great connection with Zishan, which shows its extraordinary nature.

“Purple Mountain is an ominous place. The First Ancestor said that it is related to the ancient emperors and must not be offended.” Master Zhang said solemnly.

Ye Fan was taken aback. He knew that nothing related to the Great Emperor was simple.

After Master Zhang left, Qin Sheng said to Ye Fan, "We need to enter Purple Mountain; what you want is inside."

"Okay." Ye Fan did not hesitate and fully trusted Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng: "We can also look for the Source Book then."

The Origin Heaven Book and the Fighting Secret in Purple Mountain are both extremely valuable. The latter, needless to say, is a true holy technique of combat, representing the pinnacle of offensive power.

In a world where strength is beauty and power is the way, the Nine Secrets, which can be directly applied to combat, are even more important.

As for the former, although Qin Sheng already had the Source Technique given to him by Duan De, the Source Heavenly Book was also the crystallization of the wisdom of later Source Masters, which had forged its own path and had considerable reference value.

The universe is constantly changing, and the evolution of dragon veins, terrain, and celestial phenomena is endless and limitless.

Life-long learning!

Besides, since we're already in Zishan, the Source Book is just something we can easily get our hands on; we can't just leave it lying in front of us.

The next day, Qin Sheng and Ye Fan approached Master Zhang and explained their plans.

"Absolutely not."

Master Zhang quickly dissuaded them, saying, "The First Ancestor once said that the dangers in Purple Mountain could even endanger a sacred place. Don't act rashly."

Ye Fan spoke up, "The Zhang family's Origin Book is lost there. Don't you want to retrieve it, old man?"

Master Zhang sighed, "Purple Mountain is dangerous. Even if we wanted to retrieve our ancestral heritage, we would be powerless to do so."

"Young men, take my advice. You have a lot of youth ahead of you, don't take risks."

But Master Zhang was clearly unable to persuade them, so he had to give them some pointers and reveal some secrets.

“Purple Mountain is a place where nine dragons guard a pearl. You can see those nine mountain ranges, which are all dragon veins. However, they have been hollowed out by the ancients and there is nothing left inside.”

Master Zhang said, "To enter Zishan, you need to go through the underground mine veins and go directly into the mountain. You must never try to break through Zishan on the surface."

He revealed some taboos and also took out many things left behind by Master Yuan.

For example, armor and stone knives made from divine stone skin.

“These are treasures from the field of Origin Arts. They have a restraining effect on some indescribable and strange things. Since you are determined to enter this ominous place, take these things with you.”

Master Zhang was a very kind man and wanted to repay the life-saving grace in this way.

“However, there is only one suit of armor, and you…”

Qin Sheng waved his hand, "Ye Zi, you wear it."

Ye Fan is still in the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm, so he obviously needs these more. As for Qin Sheng?

He was easygoing and simply used the Devouring Demon Cover to protect himself.

After making preparations, Qin Sheng and Ye Fan left the village.

Ye Fan, fully armed, asked:

"Immortal Qin, can our current cultivation of Origin Techniques reach the level of Origin Celestial Master?"

"Of course, we could even be a family."

The origin of the Source Master lineage is very mysterious. In the field of Source Arts in the Eastern Wilderness, it is difficult for Source Arts families and the Source King lineage to cultivate to the Source Master level. They rarely encounter misfortune in their later years. Only this lineage has a specific inheritance, and its level of proficiency surpasses the former two.

Therefore, Qin Sheng deduced that the lineage of the Source Celestial Masters was probably inseparable from the Source Emperor's Source Techniques. Perhaps someone obtained the incomplete manuscript of the Source Emperor during the ancient times, innovated upon it, and created the lineage of the Source Celestial Masters.

"Is Master He Yuan from the same family?" Ye Fan was shocked.

"Wouldn't that mean that in our old age we would also grow red hair and mysteriously disappear, just like the Yuan Tian Masters of past generations, as Master Zhang said?"

“You don’t need to worry about these things,” Qin Sheng said.

Anyway, even if the Holy Body doesn't cultivate Source Techniques, it will still grow red hair in its later years and suffer from the curse of the Source Celestial Master. It's just a drop in the ocean.

Having many debts doesn't bother you; having many lice doesn't make you itch.

Qin Sheng and Ye Fan chose to venture deep into the dragon vein from the due east direction, the same path the Zhang family's ancestors had taken a thousand years ago.

They found an ancient mine, and after diving three thousand meters, they reached the bottom. They then began to move forward, but not long after, they were attacked by a humanoid creature with wings on its back.

However, this thing is very weak, and even Ye Fan could easily deal with it.

"what is this?"

"Demon Bats," Qin Sheng replied. "A malevolent creature that exists in extremely dangerous places. Ignore it; just kill it when you encounter it."

They continued on their journey and encountered many demonic bats, but none of them were particularly strong.

After a while, various carvings began to appear on the stone walls on both sides of the mine tunnel, recording some events from ancient times.

A creature with a horn between its eyebrows, six arms, and wings was dug out of the mine and slaughtered countless people.

The carving then changed again, with a six-armed, one-horned creature kneeling before a divine source, its face devout, as if facing a deity.

Around the divine source, countless corpses lay scattered, all stained with blood.

Ye Fan was taken aback. "What is this thing? Why is he worshipping a piece of divine energy?"

"It is an ancient creature from Purple Mountain. The Divine Source Liquid has the effect of sealing itself and resisting the erosion of time. If you are sealed in the Divine Source Liquid, after the liquid solidifies, you will be reborn tens or hundreds of thousands of years later, and your lifespan will still be the same as it is now."

Qin Sheng stared at the engraved image and said:
"In the ancient times, the Big Dipper was the domain of all the ancient races, and they gave birth to ancient emperors who could rival the great emperors of the human race."

"Later, all the ancient races disappeared, and the human race occupied the Big Dipper and became the master of this world."

"It is obvious that there are ancient creatures in Zishan, and that they can be worshipped by a one-horned, six-armed creature. The ancient creatures in the divine source must be of extraordinary status."

Qin Sheng knew what the situation was like at Zishan.

Back then, the Immortal Emperor's wife, the Immortal Empress, and his followers were enshrined in Purple Mountain.

In the carvings, far too many people died at the hands of ancient creatures; it was a catastrophe.

Later, a human, shrouded in a halo whose face and gender were obscured, descended upon the world.

When later generations sculpted this powerful figure, they specially inscribed the character "帝" (Emperor) on the top of his head to indicate his identity.

"Has a human emperor descended?!"

Qin Sheng nodded. The fact that the emperor was riding an imperial bell made his identity all too clear.

"So it was this great emperor."

"Who?"

"At the end of the immortal path, who stands at the peak? A single glance at the Beginningless One reveals all the emptiness of the Dao!" Qin Sheng said.
"It is indeed the Great Emperor Wushi."

When Wushi appeared, all disasters were quelled and all turmoil was brought to peace. In his era, the forbidden zones of life hid away from the world and fled far beyond the secrets of the Great Dao, and dared not cause any trouble.

This is the true value of a man who only exists in the background, whose appearance is the end of the story.

The Immortal Empress, sealed within the Divine Source, was easily subdued by the Great Emperor Wushi and thrown from this dragon vein into Purple Mountain.

Of course, this is an incomplete history recorded in the engravings; in fact, the Immortal Empress was not always suppressed in Purple Mountain.

"Among the nine dragon veins that guard Purple Mountain, each one contains an unparalleled powerhouse from the ancient creatures. Unfortunately, no matter how strong they are, they are no match for this Great Emperor," Qin Sheng murmured.

However, Qin Sheng was a little puzzled. If the Undying Empress was one thing, why didn't Wu Shi kill the Eight Divine Generals back then?

Is it because they disdain to do it, or are unwilling to bully the weak?
With Wushi's strength, even if the Undying Emperor had a backup plan at Purple Mountain, annihilating the Eight Divine Generals in an instant would not be a problem.

Unless the Immortal Emperor himself appears in the world to stop Wushi, the Immortal Emperor should not have been here when Wushi first entered Zishan.

"This Emperor Wushi, what an imposing title! An ancient emperor..." Ye Fan was filled with longing.

"If I become emperor in the future, I will certainly not be inferior to any of my predecessors!"

"There has never been a precedent of a Holy Body becoming an Emperor," Qin Sheng imparted to Ye Fan.

"The ancient holy bodies were at their limit of being on par with the emperors; they were all stuck at the last step and had no chance of becoming emperors."

"This..." Ye Fan frowned, feeling that it was a bit tricky, and after a moment he chuckled.

"You're really overthinking it. I only make 2,000 a month, why should I be thinking like the richest man?"

"No, no, no, I think you can achieve great things," Qin Sheng said confidently.

The two traveled for dozens of miles, seeing white bones, passing through a natural yin-yang barrier composed of primordial energy and malevolent energy, and finally seeing the purple mountain.

"What should we do next?" Ye Fan asked.

"Fight our way in," Qin Sheng said decisively.

He had raided the tomb of the Green Emperor and visited the palace of the ruthless man.

Today, we will attack the Immortal Emperor's Dojo!
