Playing Football with the Ancient Desolate Saint Body

Playing Football with the Ancient Desolate Saint Body

"The people of antiquity lived to be a hundred years old in body and spirit, yet their movements never declined."

Looking at this sentence recorded in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, Qin Sheng smiled slightly.

It is known that Ye Tiandi reads the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, and I read it too, therefore it can be deduced:

I = Ye Tiandi.

No, I am stronger than Ye Fan now, since I am almost done cultivating the Sea of Reincarnation Secret Realm.

I have surpassed Ye Tiandi!

Looking inward at his own body, below Qin Sheng's navel, which was also the position of the human body's golden ratio, the Sea of Bitterness had already opened.

Yet his Sea of Bitterness was pitch-black, lifeless and dull.

A golden Sea of Bitterness with towering waves and surging boundless scenes belonged exclusively to the Sacred Physique; for ordinary physiques like Qin Sheng's, the Sea of Bitterness was basically pitch-black.

Special effects?

That was not something an ordinary physique could hope for.

At the center of the Sea of Bitterness, a Life Divine Spring gurgled forth, divine power like a tide, rosy light filling the sky.

This was the Life Spring.

Looking upward, a brilliant rainbow hung high, starting from the "Other Shore" and extending all the way forward, crossing the pitch-black and annihilated Sea of Bitterness, wishing to reach the "Other Shore."

This was the Divine Bridge.

The four realms of the Sea of Bitterness, Life Spring, Divine Bridge, and Other Shore—Qin Sheng had already cultivated to the peak of the Divine Bridge, just one step away from the final realm of the Sea of Reincarnation Secret Realm.

Being able to cultivate to this step in Earth, a land of the End of Dharma where vital Qi was exhausted, was already no small feat.

It hasn't been easy. It took five years to reach this step; I've somewhat shamed transmigrators. Qin Sheng muttered to himself in his heart.

Qin Sheng was a transmigrator; to be precise, he had reincarnated into this Earth from another Earth.

At the very beginning, Qin Sheng did not know this was the Shrouding the Heavens world, because his parents and family environment had not changed at all, and he thought he had simply been reborn in his original world.

Thus, step by step, Qin Sheng utilized the foreknowledge in his mind to help his parents become first-generation wealthy figures; after growing up, he also became a cultural copy-paste artist, achieving fame at a young age.

Immense wealth was out of the question, but living a life free of worries about food and clothing was completely unproblematic, and he could be considered to have achieved success and fame.

He felt that his life had already reached its peak.

Until shortly after the start of his sophomore year, the university where Qin Sheng studied and the soccer team of the neighboring university organized a match.

At that time, his classmates told Qin Sheng that there was a "savageling" in the neighboring team with a powerful constitution and astonishingly terrifying strength.

Regarding this, Qin Sheng didn't care at first; everyone was a normal college student, how strong could someone possibly be?

If he were really that awesome, why wasn't he out kicking Messi and punching Tyson to make a name for himself, instead of holing up here as a college student?

Savageling? I'm a Super Saiyan then!

Just wait and watch me crush him on the soccer field, and that'll be that.

Will I win?

I will definitely win!

Until right before the match officially began, Qin Sheng learned that the "savageling" was named Ye Fan, and then there were good brother Pang Bo, girlfriend Li Xiaoman, classmate Zhou Yi, and others in their class.

Qin Sheng's vision went black all of a sudden.

Wasn't this supposed to be a modern rebirth novel?

And yet it turned out to have me play football with the Ancient Desolate Saint Body?

What the hell, I want a refund!

In the end, Qin Sheng still took the field. After all, even though Ye Fan's strength was shockingly large, it was just a friendly match, not fatal football.

It was precisely after that soccer match that Qin Sheng, having seen through the truth of the world, changed his mindset. He began to devote most of his time and energy to seeking immortality and inquiring about the Dao.

Now, three years had passed since Qin Sheng graduated from university, and over the course of these five years, with all his insights! With his martial arts of a lifetime! With his heaven-reaching wisdom! With his invincible aptitude!

Qin Sheng had finally cultivated to the peak of the Divine Bridge on Earth!

Of course, this achievement also had a tiny bit of help provided by the Golden Finger that had suddenly appeared when he met Ye Fan.

Leaning back in his chair, Qin Sheng let his mind wander leisurely:

Now I'm just waiting for Ye Fan to go to Mount Tai; it should be soon.

He was the same age as Ye Fan, and had also been secretly voyeuristic toward Ye Tiandi from the shadows, reckoning the class reunion would arrive immediately.

When the time comes, I'll hitch a ride, and I can board the Nine-Dragon Spaceship to go to Beidou for cultivation.

Cultivating on Earth was simply too grueling. From a cultivator's perspective, this was practically no place for humans to stay.

Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountain had sucked Earth dry.

With my Golden Finger, Beidou is my promised land!

With a thought, Qin Sheng's consciousness appeared in a boundless dark space.

Here, there was no concept of direction, nor any perception of time, with only four stars hanging high and emitting a faint light.

Looking closely, each of the four stars contained an illusory figure. Though wearing different clothes, their faces were identical to Qin Sheng's.

In fact, they were Qin Sheng, representing him in different worlds.

Back then, Qin Sheng had not only transmigrated to the Shrouding the Heavens world, but he had also simultaneously transmigrated to an unknown number of other worlds.

This dark space, which Qin Sheng called the Infinite Land, was a place that connected the countless versions of him.

When a Qin Sheng from another world died, he would appear here, and then the consciousness of the Shrouding the Heavens Qin Sheng would take over their bodies in their respective worlds, returning from the dead.

Those versions of Qin Sheng were truly dead; the ones who reappeared in their worlds were simply the Shrouding the Heavens Qin Sheng.

As long as the Shrouding the Heavens Qin Sheng could fulfill their dying wishes, he could completely inherit the bodies of his other selves and merge their talents, comprehension, origins, and more.

At the same time, the power of those versions of Qin Sheng could be bestowed upon the body of the Shrouding the Heavens Qin Sheng through the Infinite Land, and vice versa.

This power bestowed had two modes.

The first was fixed augmentation. Regardless of whether the strength of another self was stronger or weaker than the Shrouding the Heavens Qin Sheng, a single Qin Sheng would fixedly double his combat prowess.

Four stars, four dead versions of Qin Sheng, meant four times his base combat prowess!

The second was true augmentation. How large of an increase the bestowed power brought to the Shrouding the Heavens Qin Sheng depended entirely on the strength of the corresponding otherworldly Qin Sheng.

If the otherworldly Qin Sheng was a mortal, then the bestowal was roughly equivalent to nothing. If the otherworldly Qin Sheng was an Emperor-level figure, then the strength of the Shrouding the Heavens Qin Sheng would naturally skyrocket.

Both bestowal modes had their pros and cons, but they could be switched at any time, so there was no trouble in choosing.

The Qin Sheng represented by these four stars came from the worlds of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, and Mr. Vampire respectively.

Qin Sheng had already completely fulfilled the dying wishes of his four selves.

Compared to Shrouding the Heavens, these four worlds were undoubtedly all very weak, but with the fixed combat prowess augmentation mode, no matter how weak the world a version of himself came from, the help to Qin Sheng was enormous.

And worlds with low power tiers were not entirely without redeeming qualities; those versions of himself contributed immensely to Qin Sheng's ability to cultivate to the peak of the Divine Bridge on Earth.

The first self to die came from the Demi-Gods world, and Qin Sheng obtained the Northern Darkness Divine Art.

Cultivating martial arts from a wuxia world within the Shrouding the Heavens universe undoubtedly had no future.

Yet, situated in the Shrouding the Heavens world, Qin Sheng naturally associated the Northern Darkness Divine Art with the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art at the very first instance.

Then Qin Sheng had an idea.

He began to cultivate the Northern Darkness Divine Art in the Shrouding the Heavens world, and then used the true augmentation mode to borrow the power of his other selves and absorb it all...

Qin Sheng became famous in his youth and possessed some social status. After cultivating Northern Darkness, he gained supernatural power, so through his efforts, he came into contact with cultivators of Earth's cultivation world.

Although they were only very weak rogue cultivators, it still allowed Qin Sheng to obtain cultivation scriptures of the Shrouding the Heavens Law.

Thus, he began to constantly absorb the internal energy of his otherworldly selves, treating them as great medicine to elevate his own cultivation of the Shrouding the Heavens Law.

Now, his cultivation at the peak of the Divine Bridge was entirely filled with effort and sweat.

Qin Sheng could already not wait to bring his talent to Beidou.

As everyone knew, the Ruthless Emperor was also called Little Qin Sheng.
