Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 632 Second Generation
Although the Celestial Venerable Shengxuan devoted most of her energy to cultivation, she did not forget the kindness of the Immortal Mausoleum cultivators in nurturing her.

Although her physical constitution made her the object of jealousy and resentment among many cultivators in the Immortal Mausoleum after her birth, and many cultivators targeted her because of this, most cultivators regarded her as a rising star and protected and nurtured her like a saintess.

Therefore, after attaining enlightenment, she naturally had to give back.

As a Daoist who has attained enlightenment, what she can leave behind for the people of the Immortal Tomb are mainly supreme imperial weapons, complete scriptures and supernatural powers, as well as protective formations, some forbidden artifacts, and various divine treasures of heaven and earth.

Although the Celestial Venerable of Longevity was in charge, the Immortal Mausoleum was not lacking in anything, but the Celestial Venerable of Life and Profoundness still decided to handle it in the same way as other Dao Prodigies.

Regarding the Supreme Imperial Weapon, apart from the jade ruyi that she had been constantly refining as her natal magic weapon, she had long ago collected other immortal metals to forge a divine sword.

Since it is not a natal magic weapon, transforming it into an ultimate imperial weapon requires other methods or a significant amount of time. Therefore, in addition to his cultivation, Shengxuan Tianzun continuously refined this divine sword, allowing it to evolve over time.

As for lineage, whenever the Celestial Venerable Shengxuan encountered a bottleneck in her cultivation, she would preach and transmit the Dharma in the Immortal Mausoleum to adjust her own cultivation. Through this repeated practice, she established a lineage sect belonging to the Celestial Venerable Shengxuan within the Immortal Mausoleum.

As for his own Imperial Dao array patterns, the Celestial Venerable Shengxuan also spent some time setting up a protective array within the lineage that inherited his scriptures.

Of course, in protecting the world barrier of the entire Immortal Tomb, she also integrated her own great formation into the Great Formation of the Eternal Heavenly Venerable to supplement it and make it more perfect.

From then on, Shengxuan Tianzun made a significant contribution to the development of the Immortal Mausoleum. Her name, along with Taiyin Tianzun, became one of the patriarchs in the Immortal Mausoleum world, apart from the nine great patriarchs.

In addition, there are affairs in the human universe. Although Shengxuan Tianzun did not become the master of the Immortal Mausoleum and lead all the major sects of the Immortal Mausoleum, as the only Dao-proving cultivator among the Immortal Mausoleum cultivators, she naturally had to represent the Immortal Mausoleum to the outside world.

Since the Immortal Mausoleum had nominally belonged to the human race and made a promise to the Human Emperor's Seal to obey the Human Emperor's orders, and the name of the Taiyin Heavenly Venerable of the Taiyin Human Emperor had a considerable influence in the Immortal Mausoleum, and his Taiyin Mother Scripture made many middle and lower-level cultivators grateful, the Shengxuan Heavenly Venerable frequently preached to the human race during this process and left behind his own legacy, although it was not complete.

This is also a way of reaffirming the promises made to Xianling in the past.

However, Shengxuan Tianzun could not possibly meet the conditions to become the Human Emperor, and she had never thought of becoming the Human Emperor. Therefore, Shengxuan Tianzun did not go to Mount Tai.

Time flies, and years pass in the blink of an eye; countless years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Throughout these ten thousand years, the Celestial Venerable of Life and Profoundness maintained this pace of cultivation. Her own Dao and Dharma reached their peak during these ten thousand years of tempering, making it difficult to make any further progress.

Thus, the Celestial Venerable Shengxuan, having reached a point of extreme stillness, decided to leave the Immortal Mausoleum once more and venture into the mortal universe. This time, her destination was Mount Tai.

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity and the Empress of the Moon have always maintained a close relationship. The Celestial Venerable of Life and Profound Realm came here under the guidance of the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, so that the Empress of the Moon could give her more insights.

Although Shengxuan Tianzun had previously made some guesses, she still felt a sense of admiration after learning that Taiyin Renhuang had already reversed his life twice and continued to make progress on the path of immortality in the mortal world.

When Shengxuan Tianzun arrived at Mount Tai, the Human Emperor Seal was immediately activated by her aura. However, before the seal could be pressed down, Taiyin Human Emperor appeared at the summit of Mount Tai and pressed down the Human Emperor Seal.

Shengxuan Tianzun said, "Greetings to the Human Emperor."

The Taiyin Emperor said, "Did Fellow Daoist Changsheng send you to find me?"

Shengxuan Tianzun said, "Yes, the ancestor sent me to seek guidance from the Human Emperor." Taiyin Human Emperor said, "We are merely exchanging ideas; to say we are seeking guidance is a bit too much."

Immediately afterwards, the Celestial Venerable Shengxuan and the Human Emperor Taiyin sat facing each other, discussing the Dao atop Mount Tai. The Human Emperor Taiyin had previously gained a great deal of experience from the Celestial Venerable Wuji and the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, so it was naturally not difficult for him to guide the Celestial Venerable Shengxuan.

Moreover, even disregarding all of that, just looking at himself, the Taiyin Human Emperor, who had lived twice in reverse and whose first life was extraordinary, was naturally qualified to guide the Shengxuan Heavenly Venerable.

During this exchange, Shengxuan Tianzun gained many insights from Taiyin Renhuang and had a deeper understanding of the method she was about to adopt. Afterwards, she bid farewell to Renhuang and left.

However, before leaving, she also incorporated the fist intent given to her by the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable into the Human Emperor Seal. That was the development history of the Immortal Tomb Human Race, which the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable had gathered into a torrent of humanity with the Divine Fist of Humanity.

With the addition of this power, the Human Emperor Seal became even more vast and mysterious.

Inspired by the insights gained from the Yin Emperor, Shengxuan Tianzun devoted all his energy to comprehending the laws of the Immortal Tomb and the Ginseng Fruit Tree during the latter half of this first incarnation. Throughout this process, Changsheng Tianzun continued to provide his full support.

Thus, the Celestial Venerable Shengxuan cultivated diligently for another six thousand years. In other words, the Celestial Venerable Shengxuan in his first incarnation had reached the age of eighteen thousand years.

Of course, the fact that Shengxuan Tianzun was able to live to be 18,000 years old in her first life was not because of her physical constitution or her Dao fruit being particularly powerful.

In terms of lifespan alone, the lifespan of Shengxuan Tianzun in this lifetime was only about 15,000 years. However, thanks to her high affinity with the Immortal Tomb, and the significant lifespan boost from the Immortal Tomb Laws evolved by Changsheng Tianzun, Shengxuan Tianzun lived an additional 3,000 years under the support of the Immortal Tomb.

Even if we disregard the future and sacrifice the compatibility of the Immortal Tomb Laws with her, perhaps the Celestial Venerable Shengxuan could be granted another life extension. However, in that case, she would no longer be able to rely on the Immortal Tomb Laws for cultivation and transformation.

However, at this time, the Celestial Venerable Shengxuan was indeed very old, with white hair. If she hadn't deliberately maintained herself with great supernatural powers, this goddess who was originally peerless and the most beautiful in the world would probably have become an old woman who was frail and withered.

During his 18,000 years of cultivation, the Celestial Venerable Shengxuan had come to a profound understanding of the difficulty of transformation, knowing that even if he had a path to follow, he did not have enough time or talent to complete it.

Therefore, she chose to settle for second best and devised a completely new method, which was to absorb and digest the ginseng fruit, the laws of the Immortal Tomb, and all the essence she had accumulated over the years.

After all, the ginseng fruit tree, the laws of the Immortal Tomb, and everything she had cultivated and accumulated were quite similar and could be integrated to help her achieve a new life.

In this way, although she relied more on external forces to gain a new life, with the support of multiple forces, she could achieve results comparable to a rebirth.

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality was naturally very happy to do so, even though it would require a large amount of Immortal Mausoleum Origin to support it.

Thus, the Celestial Venerable Shengxuan began the process of living out his second life.

She adjusted her state and then swallowed the ginseng fruit in one gulp. At the same time, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity mobilized the laws of the Immortal Mausoleum, transforming them into streams of essence that flowed into the body of the Celestial Venerable of Life and Profound Enlightenment.

Meanwhile, the Celestial Venerable Shengxuan silently activated the Ancient Scripture of Burial Immortals and his own Dao and Dharma, absorbing all the essence of these things, fusing them into one, and finally integrating them into his own origin, allowing him to live a second life.
