Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 671 Twenty Thousand Years

Seeing that the Blood Phoenix Emperor seemed to accept his method and was willing to be the test subject, the Undying Emperor couldn't help but say, "Blood Phoenix, you should think carefully. I am not entirely sure about this method either. If something goes wrong with you, I may not be able to save you in time."

“My master, the Supreme Heavenly Venerable Wuji, is currently in seclusion. Even if I wanted to ask him for help, it would be difficult to find him in a short time, and he wouldn’t be able to provide immediate assistance.”

The Blood Phoenix Emperor said, "Your Majesty, whether I succeed or not, and whether I choose to take this path or not, you will use this method to undergo Nirvana in your next life, right?"

The Immortal Emperor said, "Yes, nearly a third of my life has already passed. There is no time to find a new path, so I can only go down this one path to the bitter end."

The Blood Phoenix Emperor laughed and said, "Since that's the case, what do I have to fear? If I choose this path, I can follow the Emperor's progress in the future and continuously learn and improve my own evolution. This should be more efficient than me having to cultivate on my own."

"Moreover, if the Emperor and I can perfect this method of corpse dissolution and immortality, paving the way for future generations, that would be a great achievement, enough to be remembered in history and remembered by posterity."

Seeing that the Blood Phoenix Emperor had made up his mind, the Undying Emperor did not hesitate any longer and continued, "Since that's the case, then I will not try to persuade you any further. The Corpse Dissolution Immortal Method that I have deduced is ultimately based on the power of Nirvana. Without such power, it is impossible to guarantee this state that is neither alive nor dead."

"Therefore, to combine the primordial spirit with the Dao weapon, one must naturally choose the materials most likely to amplify the power of Nirvana."

The Blood Phoenix Emperor said, "What the Heavenly Emperor is referring to, could it be Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold?"

The Undying Emperor nodded and said, "Yes, although this immortal gold is naturally formed, it possesses the power of Nirvana and can resonate with our bloodline, making it an excellent material. The Dao weapon you will be combining in the future should be made primarily of this immortal gold."

The Blood Phoenix Emperor said, "My Phoenix Wing Gilded Halberd was originally forged from Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold, so it's perfect for me to use?"

The Undying Emperor shook his head and said, "No, you need to forge a new Dao Weapon that is more closely connected to yourself. As for your original Supreme Dao Imperial Weapon, it can serve as a vessel to nurture your Dao Fruit after you separate it."

The Blood Phoenix Emperor said, "Isn't it a bit too late to start refining it now?"

The Undying Emperor said, "Not now, but in your later years to refine it. Moreover, the materials for refining this new Dao weapon also require your old body, so that this Dao weapon will not become a completely lifeless thing."

“If a normally crafted weapon is used as a Dao weapon, it can easily lead to the stagnation of the primordial spirit. Therefore, we need to craft a new kind of Dao weapon.”

The Undying Emperor handed a piece of Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold, shimmering with crimson light, to the Blood Phoenix Emperor, saying, "This piece of Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold was nurtured by my own Phoenix True Blood for many years, greatly increasing the Nirvana Power it contains. You should use your own primordial True Blood to nurture this immortal gold within your body using a special method. In your later years, you must first separate your Dao Fruit, and then use it as the main material to fuse your physical body into it using a special method, thus transforming it into a special Dao Weapon. Only then will it be time for your primordial spirit to merge with the Dao Weapon."

"Although I am not entirely confident, the Dao Weapon created through this series of special methods will have a special vitality than normal weapons. As long as it can maintain its own state with the power of Nirvana, it is possible to preserve itself after the primordial spirit merges with the Dao Weapon and continue to evolve in the form of the weapon body."

The Blood Phoenix Emperor absorbed the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold into his body and then said, "Thank you for your help, Your Majesty."

The Immortal Emperor said, "Helping you is also helping me. From now on, we are on the same path, so these things are nothing."

The Blood Phoenix Emperor said, "The Emperor is right."

The Undying Emperor said, "If you have any questions during your future cultivation, feel free to come to me. If I have any new ideas, I will also come to you." The Blood Phoenix Emperor said, "That is certainly true. Your Majesty, then I shall take my leave."

The Immortal Emperor said, "Go now, we will meet again soon."

The Blood Phoenix Emperor bowed and then rose to leave, returning to Blood Phoenix Mountain.

Although the Immortal Emperor had thoroughly studied all aspects of this method, it was, after all, the Immortal Emperor's method. Although his physique was similar to the Immortal Emperor's, there were still many differences between them.

Therefore, he cannot simply copy them. He needs to spend a lot of time and energy to thoroughly study these methods and modify them so that he can achieve the greatest results when using them himself.

Although it is unknown how much his lifespan has increased in this life compared to the past, achieving this step will not be easy, and he may not have time to do it perfectly.

That's why the Blood Phoenix Emperor was so eager to return to his homeland and begin further cultivation.

Of course, he still needs to pave the way for his race and give it a deeper foundation. Therefore, in the first two thousand years, the Blood Phoenix Emperor did not devote himself entirely to cultivation. He would still occasionally leave seclusion and travel to other places.

During these years, the Blood Phoenix Emperor gave birth to a child. This child perfectly inherited his powerful evolved bloodline and possessed extremely high talent, essentially a second version of himself. In fact, in terms of bloodline, this child was significantly stronger than his first incarnation.

After all, the Blood Phoenix Emperor had already undergone a rebirth, and what he inherited was naturally the bloodline of the Blood Phoenix Emperor after his ascension.

The Blood Phoenix Emperor was very pleased with the child and personally nurtured him through his childhood. The Undying Emperor also donated his refined essence blood to help Huang Xudao establish his foundation.

In this process, the child demonstrated even greater perseverance and exceptional comprehension, resembling a celestial being born for the Dao.

The Blood Phoenix Emperor named the child Huang Xudao and personally sealed him away to be preserved for future generations. He believed that this child was destined for a bright future.

The Blood Phoenix Emperor actually had more than one child, but the other children were born in his first life. Perhaps because of that rebirth, the Blood Phoenix Emperor has only had one child, Huang Xudao, in his second life so far.

It is precisely for this reason that Huang Xudao surpasses his other brothers and sisters in both bloodline and talent, and is therefore highly regarded by him.

The birth of Huang Xudao allowed the Blood Phoenix Emperor to completely let go of his concerns about his race. He firmly believed that as long as this child could grow up smoothly, the Blood Phoenix clan would surely usher in a new peak.

From then on, the Blood Phoenix Emperor devoted himself to seclusion and cultivation in Blood Phoenix Mountain, no longer paying attention to any external affairs.

Time flies, and another eighteen thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. The Blood Phoenix Emperor has finally reached the late years of his second life. In other words, his lifespan in this life is a full twenty thousand years. The Nirvana Method he used to live out his second life gave him a tremendous boost, and this increased lifespan is naturally the most significant manifestation of that.
