The reincarnation of the heavens begins with the path to immortality

Outside the Hall of Longevity.

Huang Ya'er, the old man with yellow teeth, the bearded man, Zhou Yi, and others waited respectfully. Huang Ya'er glanced at her grandfather, the old man with yellow teeth, her eyes filled with worry, because her grandfather's lifespan was coming to an end, and if there was no other way, he would soon pass away.

The old man with yellow teeth, however, had an extremely calm and peaceful expression. He was hunched over and had a stooped back. Although he was very old and nearing the end of his life, he did not seem to be struggling to die. He did not feel resentful. On the contrary, he seemed to have seen through life and death and calmly accepted the fact that he was getting old. He just looked at the Hall of Longevity in front of him with a look of emotion.

The bearded man looked at the Hall of Longevity in front of him, his eyes filled with worry, lost in thought.

Zhou Yi was becoming increasingly mature, with a resolute gaze and a tall and straight figure. As a Quasi-Emperor at the sixth level, he was at the peak of his vitality and was in his prime, a time when he dared to fight and struggle!

"Gah!"

Suddenly, the doors of the Hall of Longevity slowly opened, and then Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, spoke from inside: "Come in, all of you!"

"Yes! Master (Celestial Venerable)!"

Huang Ya'er and the others bowed in response, took a deep breath, and stepped into the Hall of Longevity. Before long, they arrived in front of Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity.

"Tianzun!"

"Master!"

Huang Ya'er and the others bowed again, but Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, waved his hand and said, "No need for such formalities!"

Then, he looked at Huang Ya'er, the old man with yellow teeth, the bearded man, Zhou Yi, and the others. His expression changed slightly, and he felt a little emotional. Compared with the original world of "Covering the Sky", some of them had changed their life trajectories, while others had not changed much.

In the original version of Shrouding the Heavens, Huang Ya'er was sealed by Ye Fan and had not yet begun her true cultivation. Her Supreme Immortal Body would not truly emerge until later generations, achieving enlightenment in an unconventional way and radiating her own brilliant light. However, now that Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, has taken her as his disciple and passed on the Longevity Scripture to her, she has begun her cultivation at this time and has begun to radiate her light, competing with Ye Fan, Zhang Bairen, and others, dazzling and brilliant.

However, the life trajectories of the old man with yellow teeth, the bearded man, and Zhou Yi did not change much. In the original world of "Covering the Sky," the old man with yellow teeth passed away when his lifespan was almost up, and the same was true for the bearded man and Zhou Yi. In the end, none of them followed Ye Fan into the Immortal Realm.

Now, things are no different. The old man with yellow teeth is nearing the end of his lifespan and is getting old. He is about to pass away. The bearded man is also six or seven thousand years old and is gradually entering middle age. He is at the eighth level of Quasi-Emperor, but his cultivation has not made much progress. It seems that he will not be able to achieve enlightenment in an unconventional way and embark on the true path to immortality.

Zhou Yi is the same, not much different from the original version of Shrouding the Heavens. However, in the original version, he fought alone and made a name for himself in the universe. Now, he has the backing of the Hall of Longevity and has also left a name for himself in the universe.

After observing them for a while, Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, suddenly exclaimed with emotion, "I know why you have come. Three thousand years have passed! Unbeknownst to us, three thousand years have already gone by!"

Yes! Three thousand years have passed! Since he transmigrated into the world of "Covering the Sky," three thousand years have passed, and he has lived for three thousand years, watching over the universe and stars for three thousand years. He is, in fact, an old monster!
Back then, when he recruited the old man with yellow teeth and the bearded man, he promised them that they would serve him for three thousand years. Now, three thousand years have passed, and the agreed-upon time has come. Hearing this, the old man with yellow teeth chuckled and sighed, "Indeed! Three thousand years have passed! So many great things have happened in this universe during these three thousand years that I'm almost overwhelmed!"

"The Celestial Venerable has successfully undergone Nirvana and has once again attained enlightenment. The Path to Immortality in the Big Dipper has been opened. The supreme beings of various forbidden zones of life have broken free of their seals and emerged into the world. Unable to break through the Path to Immortality, they attempted to launch a great dark upheaval, but were suppressed by the Celestial Venerable with all his might!"

"Then, the Primordial God Emperor returned from Nirvana, and the Chaotic Ancient Emperor returned from Nirvana. Their Holy Bodies were perfected. Eight hundred years later, the path to immortality on the Flying Immortal Ancient Star reopened. Almost all the supreme beings in the various forbidden zones of life broke free from their seals and emerged into the world. Some died, some were injured, but none of them truly entered the Immortal Realm. They could only seek protection in the Hall of Longevity and eke out a living!"

"Over these three thousand years, I have witnessed the rebirth and return of countless celestial emperors and great rulers, and the shining brilliance of countless outstanding talents in the world. In my old age, I am still able to witness all of this, which is truly a great fortune!"

The old man with yellow teeth rambled on, recounting the major events that had occurred in the universe over the past three thousand years, and expressing his gratitude for being able to witness this glorious and splendid era. But Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, knew that this was not what he wanted to say.

Sure enough, the old man with yellow teeth paused for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject and said, "Alas! Three thousand years have passed. The time limit that I made with the Heavenly Venerable has come to an end. I am also nearing the end of my life and will soon pass away. Heavenly Venerable, could you please allow me to see my old friend one more time?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Ya'er looked at him with a worried expression, while the bearded man and Zhou Yi instantly became extremely solemn, bowing and pleading, "Heavenly Venerable! We beg the Heavenly Venerable to grant our request and allow us to see our Master!"

The old man with yellow teeth, the master of the bearded man and Zhou Yi, was clearly none other than the woodcutter who had been suppressed and sealed by Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity.

In the original world of Shrouding the Heavens, the woodcutter had long since died under the Undying Heavenly Blade. But now, he has been suppressed and sealed in the Divine Source by Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, and is still alive!
Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, looked at the old man with yellow teeth and realized that he was indeed nearing the end of his life and would soon pass away in the next few decades or centuries. No wonder he wanted to come and see the woodcutter at this time, after all, the old man with yellow teeth was also a benefactor to him.

The old man with yellow teeth was a figure from the Primordial Era. He gained the appreciation of the woodcutter and they became Daoist friends. Then, together with the woodcutter, he sealed himself within the Divine Source, plotting to fight against the offspring of the Undying Queen and the Undying Emperor. They fought side by side from the Primordial Era to the Post-Ancient Era, and their friendship was deep. No wonder he is now nearing the end of his life and about to pass away. He came to see his old friend and bid him farewell.

However, Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, pondered for a moment before looking at Huang Ya'er and saying, "Your grandfather's lifespan is nearing its end. You can seal him away again. When you truly become an immortal in the future, perhaps he can live forever with you!"

Huang Ya'er shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Reporting to Master, Grandpa was sealed down from the ancient times. He is tired. He has witnessed this glorious and splendid era over the past three thousand years. He has no other wish but to see that woodcutter grandpa again!"

The old man with yellow teeth hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "No need! I have been sealed myself for long enough since the ancient times. If I continue to seal myself, I will only be prolonging my life. My lifespan is coming to an end, and I should pass away. Why should I seal myself again? I only want to see that old friend one last time before I pass away and say goodbye to him. I beg the Heavenly Venerable to grant my request!"

"We beg the Heavenly Venerable to grant our request!"

Both the bearded man and Zhou Yi bowed deeply, begging for permission.

Seeing this, Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, pondered for a long time before finally nodding and sighing, "So be it! You have served me for three thousand years, and now your lifespan is nearing its end. You only have this one wish, and I should grant it to you!"

Having said that, he waved his sleeve, and instantly, a divine source appeared in the Hall of Longevity. Within the divine source stood the old woodcutter, wielding a wood-chopping knife, standing there motionless as if time had frozen! (End of Chapter)
