Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 658 Qi Feisheng

Xin Lingxiao made this choice because, firstly, the difficulty of proving one's Dao is high, and secondly, the opportunity is hard to find.

If he wants to attain enlightenment in future generations, he will need to wait an unknown number of years for the right opportunity to arise. After all, unless he is unethical and bullies young people, it will be difficult for him to directly achieve enlightenment; he will need time to accumulate experience.

Xin Lingxiao had no room for error, so he decided to leave and explore the future in a wider world.

Seeing that the four of them had agreed, the Star Emperor said, "In that case, I will invite you all to come down from the mountain and go to the Immortal Sect together in the future."

Cangyuan said, "Even if Fellow Daoist Star Emperor can take us to the Immortal Sect, we haven't yet attained Dao, so it's hard to say whether we can enter it."

Star Emperor said, "I have also thought about this matter, but since the Great Celestial Venerable has said so, then this should not be a problem."

Seeing that the four people nodded in agreement, the Star Emperor planned to return to his hometown to go into seclusion, but was stopped by Cang Yuan.

Cangyuan said, "Fellow Daoist Star Emperor, it is a rare opportunity for us to meet. How about we exchange a few sparring sessions, discuss the Dao and its evolution, and verify each other's findings?"

The Star Emperor said, "Of course."

Cangyuan said, "Alright, then please give me your guidance, Fellow Daoist Star Emperor."

As he spoke, he activated his Overlord Ancestral Body, transforming himself into an unparalleled battle body that combined the advantages of a dragon's head, a snake's tail, a white tiger's claws, phoenix wings, a unicorn's armor, and a black tortoise's back. He swung his Overlord Fist at the Star Emperor, his purple blood energy soaring into the sky, causing the endless starry sky to tremble.

Seeing this, the Star Emperor also unleashed his own magic, gathering endless starlight to transform his body into a non-human form composed of countless starlight rays, making him appear like the lord of all stars. He wielded the Star God Fist to meet the attack head-on, engaging Cang Yuan in direct combat.

Seeing this, the other three dispersed to stabilize the cosmic sky and personally used their great powers to prevent the leakage of the battle's fluctuations, so as not to affect the surrounding stars.

The Undying Golden Body and the Heavenly Tyrant Body, once perfected by the Undying Saint Emperor and the Heavenly Tyrant Emperor, have always been considered as challenging the emperors of the world.

Now that these two unbreakable golden bodies and heavenly domineering bodies have encountered the current emperor, it's a perfect opportunity to test the truth of this claim.

Cangyuan was more flamboyant and thus took the initiative to make a move, while Guqun was relatively reserved but also eager to try, as such opportunities were rare.

In the end, Cangyuan was defeated. Gu Qun followed closely behind and also challenged Xinghuang.

Although he was stronger than Cang Yuan, he still didn't gain the upper hand against the current emperor. Despite performing better, he ultimately lost.

This achievement also confirms the fact that while the Undying Golden Body and the Heavenly Tyrant Body can rival the current emperors, there is still a gap between them.

Afterwards, Cang Yun and Xin Lingxiao also engaged in a fierce battle with the Star Emperor. Although Cang Yun achieved enlightenment in a completely unconventional way, he did not possess a dominant physique, and therefore his physical body was not as powerful as Cang Yuan's. However, in terms of cultivation, he was superior. Therefore, in their battle against the Star Emperor, his performance was roughly equal to that of Cang Yuan.

Xin Lingxiao, on the other hand, possessed profound knowledge and cultivation, not only having the deepest Daoist skills but also having cultivated the supreme divine bloodline, thus performing the best among the four.

After fighting these four people in succession, even the Star Emperor couldn't help but marvel at their strength, realizing that they were indeed incredibly powerful.

However, the four of them have essentially reached their limit, while the Star Emperor can still enter a period of growth through continued cultivation, not to mention that he can further advance with the help of the Star Laws imparted by the Limitless Celestial Venerable. Therefore, the gap between them will continue to widen. Of course, this is only the current situation. If they enter another world and their potential is no longer completely suppressed, it's hard to say whether this situation will continue.

Over the next five hundred years, the five of them discussed and practiced the Dao, frequently exchanging ideas and techniques, and each benefited greatly from the exchanges. But after the exchanges ended, it was time for them to part ways.

Xin Lingxiao and Cang Yun had already used the elixir of immortality, so they chose to seal themselves away again, preparing to emerge only when the Star Emperor was about to ascend.

As for Gu Qun and Cang Yuan, at the age of seven thousand, they have reached the final stage of their peak and should also declare themselves emperors and await their ascension.

However, since they had not yet consumed the elixir of immortality, the Star Emperor plucked two peaches from the ancient peach tree and gifted them to the two of them.

At this time, there was more than one fruit on the ancient peach tree, so Gu Qun and Cang Yuan did not refuse his kindness.

Afterwards, the five of them separated to prepare for their future ascension together.

For the next three thousand years, the Star Emperor secluded himself to cultivate, using the Heavenly Heart Mark to refine his Dao to its ultimate level.

After that, he spent five thousand years traveling throughout the universe, comprehending the power of almost all the stars in the human universe and the laws within them, and finally further sublimating his Zhou Tian star map, as if it could truly encompass the endless stars.

Only then did he achieve perfection in cultivating the power of the stars in the human world.

In this process, the Star Emperor also left his insights into the power of the stars throughout the universe, including many supernatural abilities and secret techniques he deduced. His scriptures were also passed down in this way, awaiting those with the right destiny to obtain them. Of course, these transmissions are very fragmented and scattered, lacking a systematic framework.

At this point, he was already 15,000 years old, and he finally entered the later years of his first life.

Because of the existence of the Peaches of Immortality, the Star Emperor successfully lived a second life, returned to his peak, and swept away his aging spirit.

After entering his second life, the Star Emperor further improved the scriptures and supernatural powers passed down in his race, and then began to cultivate and comprehend the higher-level stellar laws that the Supreme Celestial Venerable had passed down to him.

At this time, Gu Qun and Cang Yuan, who had lived a second life through the elixir of immortality, still failed to find a way to continue their progress, so they also chose to seal themselves off.

Time flies, and five thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. The Star Emperor has once again reached the peak of his second life.

While he hasn't experienced a revolutionary leap compared to before, he has still made significant progress. At this point, he decides not to continue his cultivation and chooses to ascend to immortality.

After all, he had no clue about the method of transformation, and the stellar laws he was constantly comprehending were not all the mysteries of the human universe. So, there was not much difference between cultivating in the human world and cultivating in another world.

Therefore, the Star Emperor went directly to the ancient star of the God Clan, the ancestral star of the Undying Golden Body, and the ancestral star of the Azure Heaven Overlord Body to awaken these four people one by one.

The five of them ascended to the heavens together and disappeared into the depths of the starry sky, never to be seen again on earth.
