Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 293 A Thousand Tribulations and a Hundred Lifetimes of Difficulty
On a drifting meteorite in the starry sky, Huang Tian and the Seven Divine Generals were resting with their eyes closed. Only after realizing that Ning Fei had left did they get up and begin their journey towards the majestic pass.

The cultivators waiting near the pass immediately sensed these terrifying auras. They looked towards the end of the road and saw eight figures, like gods and demons, lined up in a row, slowly emerging from the horizon.

None of the eight of them concealed their auras, and immediately seven astonishing auras intertwined with bloodlust and killing intent soared into the sky. The aura in the center of them was even more profound and vast, and difficult to fathom.

Their undisguised domineering aura aroused dissatisfaction among countless cultivators, for they were clearly provoking all the cultivators present.

Huang Tian maintained his usual arrogant attitude, walking straight towards the crystal tablet. Meanwhile, the seven fierce-looking generals began defeating the prodigies who showed hostility, clearing a path for Huang Tian.

Although the strongest individuals here hadn't made a move, they were secretly alarmed. These seven divine generals were actually no weaker than them. In other words, apart from a handful of others, most people here were inferior to these seven. But these seven were merely Huang Tian's followers.

Ning Fei's power had already intimidated most people. The thought that Huang Tian could defeat Ning Fei, coupled with the performance of the Seven Divine Generals, left these cultivators with no choice but to temporarily avoid his sharp edge.

They secretly turned their attention to the Immortal Fire Saint Spirit, after all, he was a prodigy on par with Huang Tian, ​​Ning Fei and others.

The Immortal Fire Saint Spirit frowned, but then relaxed. Even though Huang Tian concealed her bloodline aura, she still recognized that this was a true phoenix. It was only after seeing Huang Tian that the Immortal Fire Saint Spirit finally understood where the Phoenix Treasure Technique that the Boundless Great Celestial Venerable had given her came from.

Huang Tian naturally noticed this Immortal Fire Saint Spirit as well. He couldn't help but feel puzzled. This person was almost identical to the Phoenix, even similar to him in essence, yet he didn't possess any bloodline power that resonated with him. As a result, he developed a strong interest in the Immortal Fire Saint Spirit.

As their auras clashed, those present seemed to sense a series of clear and melodious phoenix cries. Of course, this was merely a test between the two.

Huang Tian smiled slightly and said, "Ning Fei asked you to break my methods?"

The Immortal Fire Saint Spirit said, "I just can't stand people using this kind of tactic to threaten others."

Huang Tian said, "Well said. But you still ruined my plans in the end. We'll settle our scores on the final ancient road."

The Immortal Fire Saint Spirit remained silent, simply closing her eyes. She too vaguely sensed the terrifying power of Huang Tian. This was not merely a phoenix, but a phoenix whose talent far surpassed her imagination. Even with her profound foundation, she still felt a sense of urgency.

Upon seeing Huang Tian, ​​Huang Nu's heart trembled as she recalled the past when she was completely suppressed and powerless to fight back. But then, she mustered her courage and suppressed all her negative emotions.

Huang Tian looked at her and smiled, "Congratulations on breaking free from my control and further enhancing your bloodline power. However, you still have a long way to go before you become Ning Fei's weakness. I wish you success."

Then, Huang Tian walked to the crystal tablet and used his finger as a knife to carve his name. He looked up at the name that had been carved on it, sensing the strength of its energy.

At this moment, in the corner, a young Taoist priest, who showed no aura and seemed almost invisible, looked at Huang Tian with great interest, a faint divine light flashing in his eyes. He was none other than the reborn Heavenly Venerable of Annihilation.

Huang Tian seemed to sense something and turned to look back. Their eyes met, and a thunderous sound resounded in the void. Although silent, it shook the primordial spirits of everyone present. Huang Tian was slightly startled. In the probing exchange just now, he had actually been slightly inferior in terms of primordial spirit. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Meanwhile, the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation sensed Huang Tian's presence and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. "Is this the Celestial Phoenix that the Great Celestial Venerable summoned? A true celestial spirit is indeed extraordinary; perhaps only a Chaos Body can compare."

Although he had an advantage in the primordial spirit realm, he was still not confident of victory in a real fight. After all, the physical body of that immortal phoenix was simply too terrifying.

However, in that instant, the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation, who had remained undiscovered for so long, finally revealed himself. He no longer concealed his aura and appeared openly.

At this time, few people in the human universe knew that he was the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana. Most people thought that he was the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana's carefully cultivated child, or a flower that resembled the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana.

After he appeared, the area subtly transformed into a three-way balance of power. The three auras intersected, like three suns rising in the sky, causing everyone else to pale in comparison. It could be said that, apart from Ning Fei, these three were the strongest of this generation.

Meanwhile, Ning Fei, who could serve as the fourth pole, was drifting through the endless starry sky. Under the influence of a strange energy connection, he unconsciously arrived at an abandoned ancient star.

Ning Fei vaguely sensed the aura of the Tribulation Transcending Heavenly Technique, so he followed it and found the ancient formation.

"A thousand tribulations, a hundred lifetimes of hardship, all of eternity passes in the blink of an eye..."

As Ning Fei activated the Tribulation Transcending Heavenly Technique to trigger the grand formation, an ancient and weathered sigh resounded, leaving a deep imprint on Ning Fei's mind.

Although he sensed the danger within, Ning Fei still stepped into the great formation. This ancient formation was naturally the opportunity that Liang Yu had personally prepared for him.

The Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Technique is extremely rare in the universe, and even the Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable himself did not truly perfect this technique. Therefore, even though Liang Yu possesses the authentic Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Technique obtained from the Underworld Venerable, it still has its flaws.

Even in its incompleteness, this Heavenly Technique is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding techniques of the mythical era. Ji Haoyue of later generations had already fallen behind, but because he was trapped in the ancient formation for over a thousand years, he was forced to cultivate the Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Technique to its full potential, greatly increasing his potential. Although still not reaching the level of a God-Emperor, he possessed the potential for alternative paths to enlightenment or even proof of the Dao. This alone is enough to demonstrate the extraordinary nature of this Heavenly Technique.

This grand formation is designed to generate various "calamities" through countless ever-changing formations, thereby helping Ning Fei cultivate the Tribulation Transcending Heavenly Skill to a higher level.

Of course, within this grand formation, there is also a Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation Grand Formation built around the ancient secret of the character. Within this grand formation, Ning Fei can see all sorts of possible futures, allowing his cultivation to advance greatly.

This naturally stems from Ye Fan's experience of cultivating the Pre-Script Secret on the Sacred Body Ancestral Star, thus gaining an early understanding of the Sacred Body's Great Completion Realm.

Under these circumstances, Ning Fei's strength will naturally increase, and both his Tribulation Transcending Heavenly Art and Forgetfulness Heavenly Art will advance further, thus undergoing a complete transformation and greatly shortening his growth time.
