Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 669 Guidance
This time, the Blood Phoenix Emperor completed his Nirvana by using his once-only chance to extend his life with the Elixir of Immortality to replenish the life essence he hadn't fully replenished during his own Nirvana. Without the Elixir of Immortality, his Nirvana would most likely have been fraught with problems.

During the Nirvana process, because the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality contained fragments of laws from the true Immortal Phoenix, the Blood Phoenix Emperor gained a deeper understanding of the power of Nirvana and the Phoenix bloodline.

In this situation, the Divine Phoenix Immortal Elixir, rooted in the Nirvana Elixir, also interacted with his aura, promoting his Nirvana.

Therefore, although he was able to achieve Nirvana by replenishing his energy with the elixir of immortality, he still gained a significant boost in his abilities.

He has made significant progress compared to his previous life, both in terms of bloodline strength and his own cultivation level.

It can be said that although his rebirth this time was not entirely due to his own efforts, it was basically similar to the improvement he gained from living a reversed life.

Originally, his Nirvana process would have taken at most one or two thousand years to complete, but this time it took four thousand years. This was because his mastery of the power of Nirvana deepened during the process, and he improved his Nirvana method accordingly, thus prolonging the Nirvana process, which ultimately took four thousand years.

Fortunately, although it took a long time, the benefits he gained were well worth the cost.

After further enhancing his bloodline and cultivation level, the Blood Phoenix Emperor emerged from seclusion once more. Using Blood Phoenix Mountain as the core, he perfected the protective array of the Blood Phoenix Ancient Star, making it even more powerful.

Subsequently, the Blood Phoenix Emperor also left behind a copy of the ancient scripture and supernatural powers he had improved upon after his advancements. However, the threshold for mastering this evolved version of the ancient scripture had increased significantly; only the most outstanding individuals in the Blood Phoenix clan could possibly master it, and other members of the Blood Phoenix clan could not meet the requirements.

Therefore, this ancient scripture was not widely disseminated, but was instead a secret passed down only to the top geniuses of the Blood Phoenix Clan.

After completing all of this, the Blood Phoenix Emperor rose and left the Blood Phoenix Ancient Star, arriving at the Big Dipper Star.

The Blood Phoenix Emperor can no longer foresee the path ahead. His understanding of other transformation methods is insufficient, so if he wants to advance further, he still needs guidance from the Undying Emperor. Otherwise, he will have no choice but to leave the human universe and ascend to that strange world.

The Undying Emperor has a deep understanding of the similarities and differences between the bloodlines of his Blood Phoenix lineage and his own Phoenix clan, and he will surely be able to find a path that suits him.

The Blood Phoenix Emperor's condition was exactly as the Undying Emperor had anticipated. The Undying Emperor knew that, given the Blood Phoenix Emperor's talent and performance, completing a Nirvana with the help of his accumulated experience was already the limit for the Blood Phoenix Emperor.

Going forward, given his talent, it would be very difficult for him to explore a completely new method of transformation that would suit him on his own.

Therefore, he will definitely come to ask me for advice, which is one of the reasons why the Undying Emperor helped the Blood Phoenix Emperor.

As soon as the Blood Phoenix Emperor arrived in Beidou, he felt a blur before his eyes, and an ancient mine shimmering with divine light appeared in the vast void before him, as elusive as a mirage.

The Blood Phoenix Emperor was immediately surprised. This ancient mine should be the legendary Primordial Mine, which had disappeared many years ago and was once a supreme holy land revered by all races during the reign of the Undying Emperor.

Although the great array surrounding the ancient mine prevented him from sensing its exact existence, he could still deduce from the faint aura of the Undying Emperor that the Ancient Primordial Mine was now under the Undying Emperor's control.

Guided by the aura of the Undying Emperor, the Blood Phoenix Emperor successfully entered the Primordial Ancient Mine. However, before he even reached the core of the mine, he encountered the Undying Emperor. Although the Primordial Ancient Mine now largely served as the Undying Emperor's training ground, he was not, after all, the true master of this extraordinary place.

If we really want to calculate it, then the several supreme beings who previously occupied this ancient mine have been reincarnated and rebuilt, abandoning this place; and the Wuji Heavenly Venerable has little interest in this place and does not intend to take control of it himself, so the sovereignty of this place can actually be considered to have returned to the Primordial Era, the peerless divine embryo that has been nurtured by this wondrous place for countless years.

However, as the Immortal Emperor's senior brother who helped and loved the Primordial One, he was also entitled to use this ancient mine. Therefore, the Immortal Emperor could spend many years in seclusion here to undergo Nirvana.

However, the Blood Phoenix Emperor who came this time did not have such connections, so he did not allow him to enter the core of the Primordial Ancient Mine, so as not to disturb the Primordial.

Upon seeing the Immortal Emperor, the Blood Phoenix Emperor cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you for some guidance regarding my research direction in this life."

The Immortal Emperor said, "I have already passed on all the methods of transformation to you. I wonder how well you have studied them?"

The Blood Phoenix Emperor said, "Although these methods are all in the right direction, I have studied them in my first life of cultivation, but I have never been able to gain any insights from them. I'm afraid it will be difficult to take them as my direction."

The Undying Emperor said, "If you can't gain insights from these methods, then you'll most likely be unable to embark on the path of immortality in the mortal world. As for ascension, you probably don't want to consider that right now, do you?"

The Blood Phoenix Emperor said, "Yes, ascension is the last resort, and I still want to take one last gamble."

The Undying Emperor pondered and said, "Besides that, there is the Earth Immortal Technique, but obviously, you don't have much compatibility with this Primordial Ancient Mine. There aren't many other strange, unclaimed places, and most of them probably don't suit you very well either. So I'm afraid the Earth Immortal Technique won't work either."

"But in that case, only the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal Method remains. In the current human universe, my master, the Boundless Great Heavenly Venerable, has fully mastered the Mortal Immortal Method, proving its feasibility; four people have already succeeded in the Earth Immortal Method, but it is unknown when they will reach perfection; the Ascension Heavenly Immortal Method is the mainstream method for those who seek enlightenment in this era."

"This method of corpse dissolution to immortality is developed from the primordial spirit merging with the Dao weapon, and no one has succeeded in it to this day. Although I have done some research on this method, I do not have the confidence to guide you to success."

Upon hearing this, the Blood Phoenix Emperor was taken aback. This method of merging the primordial spirit with the Dao weapon was the only one among the various methods of achieving immortality that he had researched and successfully applied.

However, those who have tried this method throughout history have all been confused and unable to maintain their own selves. In the end, they either completely lose themselves and become weapons, or they break through the weapon and fight to the death, ultimately dying and disappearing.

Therefore, the Blood Phoenix Emperor did not include this method in his research directions. Now that the Undying Emperor has just proposed this path, it has stirred something within him.

So the Blood Phoenix Emperor asked, "I wonder what research Your Majesty has done on this Corpse Dissolution Immortal Technique?"

Upon hearing this, the Undying Emperor smiled slightly. As expected, the Blood Phoenix Emperor had been guided by him and had begun to consider this path.
