Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 618 Meet again

Time flies, and five thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the course of five thousand years, the Taiyin Emperor cultivated his Taiyin Law to a state of perfect perfection, where there was no room for further advancement. Ultimately, he successfully transformed Yin into Yang, and through this extreme transformation, gave rise to the powerful force of the sun.

When the Taiyin Emperor first generated the power of the sun, he was somewhat unable to control his power and almost turned the entire Ziwei Star and many surrounding stars into scorched earth.

Although he reacted quickly, suppressed his own power, and even arrived in an area outside Tianyuan City, some of the violent solar power still leaked out.

Fortunately, he had set up the Human Emperor Array with Tianyuan City as its core, which was connected to the Ziwei Star Guardian Array set up by Wuji Tianzun. The two arrays further prevented the spread of the Taiyin Human Emperor's power, ultimately turning a vast area outside Tianyuan City into a lifeless scorched earth, forming a no-man's land.

Of course, during this process, the Taiyin Emperor reacted quickly and used his great supernatural powers to move all the life within it away, so this leak of solar power did not affect any life.

Under the influence of this force, the area became barren, and the soil, rocks, and mountains were transformed into black and red crystals that had been melted and then solidified.

After this near-out-of-control experience, the Taiyin Emperor fully realized the opposition and conflict between the two forces of Taiyin and Taiyang.

He has only just begun, and the mere generation of some solar power has already nearly caused a disaster. If he continues, it will probably not be so easy.

But this was, after all, the method of transformation he sought to explore in this lifetime, and the best way for him to advance further on his own path. Even if it was dangerous, he had no choice but to continue.

However, just in case, he first activated the Purple Star Guardian Array to suppress himself, and also set up several additional layers of the Human Emperor Array to perfect it. Finally, he temporarily recalled the Human Emperor Seal from Mount Tai as the linchpin of these important arrays.

However, during his subsequent cultivation, with the Taiyin Emperor paying extra attention to the conflict between the power of Taiyin and Taiyang, this situation never occurred again, and all conflicts were suppressed within his body.

And so, another five thousand years passed. After five thousand years of arduous cultivation, the Yin-Yang Emperor's path of Yin giving rise to Yang finally reached a new stage, beginning to continuously evolve, showing a faint tendency to rival the Yin Laws she had previously cultivated to perfection.

This is the most dangerous moment. Because the two supreme forces of Taiyin and Taiyang have reached a considerable level, if the two forces were to collide and conflict accidentally, even the powerful emperor Taiyin, who has already experienced a rebirth, might suffer severe injuries.

The Taiyin Emperor separated the two opposing laws that had arisen within his body with extremely precise control, allowing them to operate freely without conflicting with each other.

From the emergence of Yang from Yin to the coexistence of Yin and Yang in this stage, the Way of the Yin Emperor has undoubtedly made significant progress, but at the same time, he also faces great risks.

He needs to achieve a state of yin and yang harmony in the remaining years of this life in order to potentially generate new life power and allow him to live again. This process is obviously extremely dangerous, even more so than his previous transformation into an immortal essence.

Driven by this sense of urgency, the Taiyin Emperor was about to continue his cultivation when he sensed a strange fluctuation that stirred his interest.

The Taiyin Emperor was slightly taken aback, and immediately used forbidden methods to deduce the truth, ultimately arriving at the conclusion that the path to immortality was about to begin.

The path to immortality—that's truly a very distant concept. After the emergence of the Immortal Gates, it was practically ignored. After all, entering the Immortal Gates only requires attaining enlightenment, but to forge the path to immortality—let alone the mythical era, almost no one had ever succeeded before that.

Aside from the legendary Desolate Emperor, who lived countless millennia ago, there is essentially no difference between the path to immortality and the path to death.

Although the Taiyin Emperor was born near the time the Path to Immortality opened, he had never paid attention to it. But now that the Path to Immortality was about to open, such a massive event affecting half the universe made it impossible for him to ignore it. He immediately got up and left Ziwei Star, arriving at the point where the Path to Immortality was opening. Since the opening of the Path to Immortality would likely take hundreds of years to fully complete, only a crack was visible here at the moment, from which wisps of immortal light emanated.

Of course, the Taiyin Emperor did not intend to break in. He only came to study the mysteries of the path to immortality and wanted to take a glimpse into a corner of the immortal realm and the immortal laws that had escaped from it.

The Taiyin Emperor looked around, intending to study the wisps of energy escaping from the other side of the crack, but he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.

Nearly 47,000 years had passed when the Taiyin Emperor finally met the mysterious person who had helped him escape death when he was young.

Although he had already confirmed his identity long ago, upon actually seeing him, he couldn't help but say, "It's you, we meet again."

Liang Yu said, "It's me. More than 40,000 years have passed in the blink of an eye. The child from the past has now become the invincible human emperor of this world. Time really flies, and the world is ever-changing."

The Yin Emperor said, "Are you really the Limitless Heavenly Venerable?"

Liang Yu said, "Didn't you already decide that?"

The Taiyin Human Emperor felt a strong sense of unreality. After all, this was the ancestor he had looked up to since he began cultivating as a child, the first person in the human universe in the past millions of years.

However, he quickly cleared away these distracting thoughts and bowed to Liang Yu, saying, "Grandmaster, this junior greets you."

Liang Yu said, "Now that you have attained enlightenment, you are a fellow Daoist. There is no need to care about the names of your ancestors."

The Taiyin Emperor said, "Then I will address you as the Great Heavenly Venerable."

Liang Yu said, "The name is just a label, do as you please."

The Yin Emperor hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help asking, "Great Heavenly Venerable, is it possible for you to traverse this mortal immortal path?"

More than 700,000 years have passed since the Great Celestial Venerable Wuji attained enlightenment at the end of the mythological era. If he had continued to live among humans, he would have undergone countless transformations.

In this situation, if he had not yet become a mortal immortal, then this was simply a hopeless dead end.

Although the Taiyin Emperor was somewhat confident that he could continue to live in reverse, he couldn't help but feel worried, fearing that the Immortal of the Mortal World might really be a long way off.

Liang Yu said, "What do you think?"

Looking at the faint aura of immortality emanating from the Limitless Heavenly Venerable before him, the Taiyin Human Emperor said, "I think it must have been a success. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have had much confidence to continue."

Liang Yu said, "You guessed right, I have indeed become a mortal immortal, and this path is the right one."
