Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 661 Sixth Generation
After sending off the Moral Celestial Venerable and the Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable, the Primordial Celestial Venerable stood alone atop the Kunlun Sacred Realm, feeling that his life, which had been almost stagnant for countless years, was finally about to undergo a dramatic change.

According to the Great Celestial Venerable Wuji, to enter the Immortal Realm from the mortal realm, one must first enter the Strange World, then master the correct coordinates of the Immortal Realm, and finally gather the power of three mortal immortals to successfully enter the Immortal Realm.

Now, entering strange worlds is a piece of cake for them, with no difficulty whatsoever; and the correct coordinates are already in their grasp, so that's not a problem either.

As for the most difficult task of gathering the power of the three immortals of the mortal world, success is now within reach.

After all, Wuji Tianzun has been a mortal immortal for many years and has even begun to actively explore higher achievements; Yuanshi Tianzun himself has also become a mortal immortal and can begin to explore the peak of this realm, so there are already two mortal immortals.

Although the Celestial Venerable of Morality and the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure have not yet succeeded, they are only a hair's breadth apart, and the probability of success is extremely high.

Soon, they will have gathered all the necessary conditions to enter the Immortal Realm. Although the exact timing of their entry is still uncertain, the general direction for the next stage is very clear.

Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but start to imagine the future, wondering what the world outside the Immortal Realm would be like.

Furthermore, what exactly are those dark forces and strange races that Wuji Tianzun has always been worried about?

The Primordial Celestial Venerable said to himself, "The road ahead is long and arduous, but I must persevere."

Yuanshi Tianzun gathered his scattered thoughts and began the next stage of his cultivation.

For him, who is now considered a mortal immortal, the next step in his cultivation is to adjust himself to the most perfect state.

Although he has become a mortal immortal and will no longer age, he reached this stage in his later years, so it will still have some impact on his condition.

For Yuanshi Tianzun now, starting a new life is not difficult, so he should strive for perfection. This is his first goal.

As for the future, Yuanshi Tianzun has already begun preparations. He naturally intends to attempt to reach the pinnacle of immortality as described by Wuji Tianzun. Even if he cannot reach the theoretical upper limit of that realm, he will at least reach his own upper limit within the realm of the Mortal Immortal.

As for the later stages, namely opening up his own sixth secret realm, although Yuanshi Tianzun does not yet have a clear direction and only some vague ideas, he should indeed start as soon as possible.

After all, the limit of the Secret Realm Technique is the Mortal Immortal. Anyone who wants to advance further needs to create their own sixth Secret Realm based on the five major Secret Realms, and the Primordial Celestial Venerable is no exception.

As for establishing his own system in the more distant future, Yuanshi Tianzun is neither clear about the significance of doing so, nor does he yet possess the strength to do so.

When the three Heavenly Venerables of Primordial Beginning, Moral Heavenly Venerable, and Lingbao Heavenly Venerable began to devote themselves to cultivation, the human universe fell silent once again.

At this moment, in the human universe, the Great Dao imprint from the Star Emperor was gradually dissipating, all of which seemed to foreshadow the arrival of a new era.

Under such circumstances, time passed little by little, and five thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

Deep within the starry sky, in a self-contained realm enveloped by countless grand formations, streaks of celestial light suddenly flickered, with wisps of inexplicable aura quietly emanating from it. However, these were blocked by the grand formations and failed to have a significant impact on the outside world.

This realm is a wondrous place, its landscape resembling an ancient mining area, exuding an astonishing aura. Clearly, this is the Primordial Ancient Mine. And the reason for this change in the Primordial Ancient Mine is naturally because the Undying Emperor, who has been cultivating within it, is finally about to awaken.

On that day, the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji set up a large array around the Primordial Ancient Mine and around the Undying Emperor. Therefore, even though the Undying Emperor had completed his Nirvana, his aura was firmly locked and could not penetrate to the outside world.

Inside the Primordial Ancient Mine, the flesh ball that the Undying Emperor had transformed into withered completely, lost all its essence, and gradually turned into ashes and disappeared.

Within the fleshy ball was only a five-colored divine phoenix, its body radiating five-colored immortal light, as if a true immortal spirit had descended to earth.

He let out a clear cry, and instantly a torrent of qi and blood surged out, as if it could sweep across the four seas and eight wastelands. It was as enormous as an unimaginable supreme god, and this terrifying power caused the Primordial Ancient Mine to tremble violently.

However, all these movements were blocked by the field array and did not affect the Primordial Beginning, which was still in the process of being conceived.

The Five-Colored Divine Phoenix opened its eyes, soared into the sky, and transformed into a handsome young man. Five-colored divine light gathered on its body, making it resemble a supreme god.

After more than 400,000 years of rebirth, the Immortal Emperor finally lived out his sixth life, a period of weakness that far exceeded everyone's expectations.

When the Immortal Emperor lived his fifth life, he had only been in Nirvana for tens of thousands of years. But after just one more life, it became four hundred thousand years. This span is indeed quite terrifying.

In the original timeline, the Immortal Emperor used the same method—the Imperial Bloodline Rebirth—more than once, which caused the rebirth process to become increasingly lengthy, ultimately taking him millions of years to become a Mortal Immortal. Moreover, if he hadn't entered the strange world, it might have taken even longer.

This is a trade-off. If one relies on their bloodline talent to take shortcuts, then one will naturally have to face the drawbacks of a long rebirth period and a prolonged period of weakness.

Although the current Immortal Emperor still embarks on the path of immortality through the power of his own bloodline and with the aid of the power of Nirvana, he uses different methods to undergo Nirvana in each incarnation. Therefore, theoretically, his Nirvana time should not be as long as in the original timeline.

But in reality, this transformation holds extraordinary significance for the Undying Emperor; it may be the most important step on his path to immortality, perhaps even the most crucial one. Therefore, it's not surprising that it takes a long time.

The reason for this is that the sixth Nirvana of the Undying Emperor was achieved by using a special law he comprehended from the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality, which allowed his bloodline to undergo an unprecedented and terrifying evolution, making his already powerful pure-blooded immortal phoenix body even more perfect.

The significance of this life for the Immortal Emperor is similar to that of Ye Fan's fourth life, which was based on the humanoid elixir of immortality.

Ye Fan understood the essence of physique, paving the way for his subsequent cultivation. In his later lives, he naturally evolved into a Chaotic Body, nurtured a more perfect Sacred Body with the help of the Chaotic Body, and then returned to his original form as a mortal body.

This improvement is also evident in his lifespan. Ye Fan only lived for 30,000 years in his third life, but in his fourth life, he lived for 56,000 years, a staggering increase.

For the Undying Emperor, this rebirth allowed him to understand the essence of the Immortal Phoenix bloodline, which in turn enabled him to evolve into a more perfect Immortal Phoenix. This progress naturally led to an unprecedented and significant enhancement of the rebirth power derived from his bloodline.

Therefore, this life is indeed a crucial one for the Immortal Emperor, making his future path easier.

Therefore, his rebirth this time resulted in a period of weakness lasting approximately 400,000 years.
