The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 214 The Cautious Immortal Venerable

This wasn't the first time the Celestial Venerable of Immortality had this idea; he had been brewing this plan for a long time.

After all, since the Supreme One Emperor attained enlightenment, none of the supreme beings who launched the Dark Turmoil have had a good ending. If the Eternal Life Heavenly Venerable wants to survive, he must find another way and cannot continue to commit massacres like in the ancient times.

Especially with two mortal immortals and several beings undergoing reverse transformations currently in charge of the mortal realm, the Eternal Heavenly Venerable dared not act rashly, fearing he might incur a thunderous attack.

But as time went by, his vital energy declined, and his altar began to decay. If he did not replenish his life essence, he would probably pass away between heaven and earth.

"To replenish life essence, it is best to choose those with special constitutions to cultivate, which can also reduce the amount of killing."

This is not because the Celestial Venerable of Immortality is merciful, but because ordinary people have limited life essence. Even those who are about to attain enlightenment at the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm need several Venerables to make up for it.

Those who have reached this point are no ordinary people. The Celestial Venerable of Longevity is afraid that if he makes too much noise, it will be difficult to manage later.

The more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make; and if you do nothing, you make no

Making too many moves can easily lead to disaster, and the Eternal Celestial Venerable naturally understood this principle; otherwise, he wouldn't have lived from the mythological era to the present day.

If the object has a special constitution, perhaps one statue is enough, and some tricks can be made during the cultivation process, making it easier to deal with later and minimizing risks.

In the entire human realm, the most abundant constitutions in terms of blood and energy are the Chaotic Body and the Immortal Spirit. However, these two constitutions are extremely rare. The last person born with a Chaotic Body was in the mythical era millions of years ago.

The Immortal Spirit did appear tens of thousands of years ago, and the Eternal Heavenly Venerable witnessed the entire process of his attainment of enlightenment; he was no match for him at all.

Aside from the Chaotic Body and the Immortal Spirit, the most robust blood and qi are the Undying Golden Body and the Heavenly Tyrant Body, which are equally matched.

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity estimated that if one possessed either of these two constitutions, achieving a Great Perfection would be enough to compensate for all one's deficiencies.

"How about I also cultivate a fully-fledged Overlord Body?" the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable pondered to himself.

Although they belong to the same level of physique, the Heavenly Tyrant Body lineage has produced a Great Emperor and a legendary Immortal, so the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable is naturally the first choice.

However, the thought of the terrifying power of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor instantly dispelled the idea of ​​the Eternal Heavenly Venerable. Even the lineage of the Overlord Body Ancestral Star was not something he wanted to provoke.

"In that case, choosing the indestructible golden body is the same; the difference is not significant, and the risk is much smaller."

After much deliberation, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity finally chose the Undying Golden Body as his training subject. After all, the Undying Golden Body had never produced a Great Emperor and had no powerful backing. As long as it didn't cause any major disturbances, he felt there shouldn't be any big problems, and he could handle it with ease.

……

In the blink of an eye, about eight or nine thousand years have passed since the Sun Emperor "passed away".

As the suppression period of the Sun Saint Emperor's Great Dao is about to end, geniuses across the human realm are once again becoming active, warming up for the upcoming struggle for the throne.

Deep in the universe, a golden star floats, showering down billions of golden rays, as if a deity once lingered here. This star is the renowned Immortal Golden Body Ancestral Star of the human world.

Although no one has ever attained enlightenment from the Undying Golden Body, a fully accomplished Undying Golden Body will appear every so often.

This constitution is extremely formidable, with abundant Qi and blood, making it the nemesis of all evil spirits. Once fully developed, it is even said to be able to challenge the ancient emperors.

As the ancestral star of the Undying Golden Body lineage, the people here have inherited the Golden Body bloodline to varying degrees.

A figure suddenly emerged from the void. His robes were extremely ancient, with a distinct mythological style, and he carried a sword of immortality on his back.

"what?"

"This Undying Golden Body lineage is indeed quite remarkable; they even have Supreme-level beings among them?"

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality narrowed his eyes and saw three figures sealed by the divine source in a golden palace.

Two of them were quite ordinary. Although they were both Great Perfection Golden Bodies, the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable felt that he could easily cut them off without much effort.

Only the one in the middle is special. Not only is his golden body perfect, but his cultivation has also reached a different kind of enlightenment. He is not much different from a true Daoist. Even if the Celestial Venerable of Longevity wanted to kill him, he would have to pay a bloody price.

"Is the Undying Golden Body really that strong? It doesn't seem to be much weaker than the Chu family's Perfected Overlord Body. Is it just my imagination?" The Eternal Life Celestial Venerable was somewhat puzzled.

He had seen perfected, indestructible golden bodies before, but none were as impressive as the one in the center of the golden hall.

"It seems we need to be careful here and not let him notice anything amiss."

If it weren't necessary, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality didn't want to clash with someone of the Supreme level, as that would ruin his plans. Especially since that indestructible golden body seemed far from simple; fighting him would be a complete loss.

Thinking of this, the aura of the Celestial Venerable of Longevity instantly subsided, making him appear like an old man from the mortal realm.

He immediately began searching the golden stars, trying to find someone who suited his taste.

However, the final result greatly disappointed the Celestial Venerable of Immortality. Although the humans on the golden star all possessed the bloodline of the indestructible golden body, their aptitude was generally not very good, and it was almost impossible for them to reach the stage of mastery.

“Let’s go check out other ancient stars!” The Celestial Venerable of Immortality was not discouraged; he had anticipated this situation.

The golden star before us isn't the only place in the mortal realm with an immortal golden body bloodline; other ancient stars have it too. However, most of those bloodlines have fallen into dormancy, and it might take a hundred thousand years for a single instance of a bloodline reverting to its ancestral form to emerge. For example, the ancient star of the Big Dipper also has a golden body bloodline, but no reversion to its ancestral form has appeared in this generation.

For more than a decade thereafter, the figure of the Eternal Celestial Venerable appeared on ancient life-bearing planets throughout the universe, beginning a search for the whereabouts of the Golden Body bloodline.

However, the results did not satisfy him. He did find some people with golden bloodlines, but most of them were of mediocre quality and not worth cultivating.

……

Prehistoric Star.

This is an ancient star, from which many enlightened beings have emerged throughout history.

However, since the reigns of Emperor Fuxi and Emperor Nuwa, this once-famous ancient star of life has never produced another Daoist, and even those who have reached the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor are few and far between, as if its fortune has been drained.

Just today, an uninvited guest suddenly arrived on the ancient star of the primordial world.

In the void, an old man with white hair and beard, carrying a longevity sword on his back, suddenly appeared.

"Is this the ancestral star of the Emperor? It is indeed blessed by heaven."

As a former member of the Heavenly Court, the Eternal Heavenly Venerable naturally knew the origins of the Emperor, who came from this azure blue planet.

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that this star was extraordinary. It was not only because of the many Dao-proving beings that it was home to, but the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable also discovered traces of many powerful physiques and bloodlines within the beings of the ancient primordial star.

Including the near-immortal bloodline, the indestructible golden body, and the Heavenly Overlord Body of the Kunlun Clan, there are also quite a few imperial bloodlines, and it is not an exaggeration to call them imperial stars.

"Hopefully, we can find a Golden Body Bloodline with good potential here!" The Eternal Heavenly Venerable's eyes were deep and unfathomable.

He had already explored all the ancestral stars in the entire human realm where golden-bodied bloodlines existed, and there were no particularly outstanding individuals among them.

If he can't find it here, he'll have no choice but to return and seal himself away. His lifespan is limited, and he can't keep searching indefinitely.

Fortunately, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality was lucky this time, finding a golden-bodied bloodline with good aptitude in a corner of the ancient primordial star.

Soon, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality orchestrated an accident, driving away some wild beasts that attacked the possessor of the Golden Body bloodline. Then, posing as a reclusive master, he slew the wild beasts, immediately captivating the young man, who willingly became his disciple.

A certain Yin-Yang Divine Mountain.

An old man dressed in a black and white Taoist robe sat cross-legged in the valley. In a daze, he seemed to sense something.

Chi!
The old man suddenly opened his eyelids, and countless yin-yang runes flashed in his eyes. At the same time, a familiar figure appeared in his sight.

"The Celestial Venerable of Immortality, it's actually him?" the old man muttered to himself.

He was no stranger to the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, who was ranked alongside him as one of the Nine Celestial Venerables. He had originally thought that the Celestial Venerable of Longevity had long since passed away, but he never expected to see his old friend again after so many years.

"Judging from this, my old friend has some ulterior motives."

The Celestial Venerable of Morality shook his head, clearly seeing that the Celestial Venerable of Longevity had other ideas and did not truly want to take him as a disciple.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality was also unwilling to see this young man fall victim to the Celestial Venerable of Longevity's cruelty. With a flick of his finger, a ray of Yin-Yang divine light silently entered the young man's body.

"I hope you can escape this calamity."

He had no intention of eliminating the Celestial Venerable of Immortality; otherwise, it wouldn't have been his turn, as the Supreme Heavenly Emperor and the Divine Emperor would have already taken action.

Since they allowed the restricted area to exist, they must have had their reasons.

"I should focus my energy on myself now. I have a feeling that if I live another life, I should be able to achieve the status of an immortal in the mortal world."

"Speaking of this, I have to thank the Heavenly Emperor Taiyi. If it weren't for his essence blood, I might not have been able to walk the path of immortality in the mortal world. He truly deserves to be called a Celestial King-level being."

The Celestial Venerable of Morality felt a pang of emotion. The reason he was able to reverse life and death and live to the seventh time was entirely due to Chu Tianshu's essence and blood.

Moreover, this drop of essence blood still remains in his body, and even after so many years, it has not been consumed much.

At the same time, the Celestial Venerable of Morality also gained a lot of insights from this drop of essence blood, which was the key to his success in traversing the immortal path in the mortal world.

Before long, the entire Yin-Yang Divine Mountain returned to tranquility, and even the black and white Taoist in the valley disappeared, as if nothing had ever happened.

At the same time, as time passed, the suppression of the Great Dao by the Sun Saint Emperor was about to end, and countless young geniuses were born ahead of schedule, emerging from various ancient life stars and beginning to become active.

Ahead of them, the prodigies of the old era had already grown up and were on the verge of attaining enlightenment.

If they aspire to the throne, they naturally cannot wait until the suppression of the Great Dao completely dissipates before they emerge, otherwise it will be too late.
