Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 677 The Emperor and the Human Emperor

After becoming a Chaos Body, the Taiyin Human Emperor's Chaos Laws advanced further, truly reaching perfection. Although there was still a considerable gap between him and the Great Perfection Realm once reached by the Wuji Heavenly Venerable and the Yuanshi Heavenly Venerable, he had already far surpassed his former self.

This union of Yin and Yang indeed greatly promoted the formation of the laws of chaos, allowing his laws of chaos to make leaps and bounds.

Originally, the Taiyin Emperor had some difficulty in advancing the Chaos Law, but after becoming a Chaos Body, he suddenly had a breakthrough, as if he had been enlightened. His affinity for the Chaos Law increased significantly, making it much easier to advance the Chaos Law further.

Under these circumstances, the Taiyin Emperor also vaguely had a direction for the future.

However, just as the Taiyin Emperor was about to begin his cultivation and further comprehend the laws of chaos, he suddenly had a strange feeling.

For a cultivator of the Taiyin Emperor's level, this feeling could not possibly be an accident; something related to him must have happened.

Therefore, the Taiyin Emperor immediately used forbidden methods to deduce the reason for his sensation.

Seeing the result of his deduction, the Taiyin Human Emperor couldn't help but mutter to himself, "So that's how it is. The Wuji Heavenly Venerable is indeed a master of creation, able to deduce events that have occurred today tens of thousands of years in advance?"

Around 100,000 years ago, the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji met with him and gave him guidance. At that time, the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji entrusted the Fusang Divine Tree to him, saying that a prodigy with the body of the sun might be born in the future, and he hoped that he would entrust the divine tree to him at that time to help him cultivate.

The Taiyin Human Emperor had always kept this matter in mind. Even during the 100,000 years of his transformation, he left behind an avatar in advance to prevent the entrustment of the Wuji Heavenly Venerable from falling through.

Only today did the Taiyin Emperor finally sense the birth of this being of the Sun Body. After years of waiting and some inexplicable connection with the energy, he experienced a sudden and special feeling.

The Taiyin Emperor absorbed the Fusang Divine Tree into his body and muttered to himself, "This solar body also comes from the Ziwei Star? No wonder I have such a strong connection with it, so that's why."

"I wonder what kind of person could make the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji specifically remind me to take care of them."

Driven by intense curiosity, the Taiyin Emperor left the ancient primordial star and headed towards the Ziwei Star, which he had not seen for many years.

After leaving the ancient primordial star, the Taiyin Emperor immediately sensed that Shen Lingxiao of the Divine Race and Cang Yun of the Overlord Body lineage had already left the human universe.

After all, these two still had some means of communication with the Taiyin Emperor, but the Taiyin Emperor had been undergoing a transformation and was also blocked by Mount Tai, so he had not received their messages.

As two of the few remaining surviving members of the Taiyin Emperor, the Taiyin Emperor was naturally delighted that they could enter the strange world with the Star Emperor and gain a broader future.

After all, if they remain in the human universe, they can only continue to progress if they are born at the right time and successfully attain enlightenment; otherwise, they will be stuck there. But if they enter the strange world, not only will their lives be safe, but they can also continue to progress.

However, this also means that almost all of the old friends of the Taiyin Emperor have disappeared, and there will be very few left to see. But on the long road to immortality, such encounters should be commonplace.

So the Moon Emperor sighed softly, banishing these lingering sorrows, and then continued his journey toward the Purple Star.

Suddenly, he stopped, sensing an inexplicable aura. Although this aura was very restrained, it could not conceal its extraordinary nature; clearly, it was the powerful aura naturally exuded by a peerless master. Although he did not deliberately target it, the Taiyin Emperor still felt a strong sense of oppression.

This aura was still significantly weaker than that of the Limitless Heavenly Venerable and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, but it was considerably stronger than his own. Clearly, he couldn't possibly be one of those figures from the mythological era.

So, this person's identity seems to be on the verge of being revealed. Aside from the Undying Emperor, the Taiyin Emperor couldn't think of anyone else with such a level of power. The Taiyin Emperor traversed the endless starry sky to a desolate star region and looked ahead, discovering a small world suspended within the vast expanse of space, enveloped by a powerful array—a unique region resembling an ancient mine.

The Yin Emperor, who had long resided on Mount Tai, naturally recognized it at a glance as a wondrous place. Judging from its appearance, this wondrous place should be the legendary Primordial Ancient Mine. This further solidified the Yin Emperor's guess.

After all, the Primordial Mine was once a sacred site designated by the Immortal Emperor.

However, the Taiyin Emperor also sensed a familiar aura emanating from the multi-layered array surrounding the Primordial Ancient Mine. Although slightly different, the Taiyin Emperor recognized it as the aura of the Limitless Heavenly Venerable.

Could it be that this immortal emperor who ushered in this era has some connection with the Wuji Heavenly Venerable?
Just as the Taiyin Emperor was puzzled, the Taichu Ancient Mine fluctuated, as if it had sensed the Taiyin Emperor's aura, causing the outer array to naturally separate.

A figure with faint five-colored divine light shimmering around him emerged from the Primordial Ancient Mine and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you the Human Emperor?"

The Taiyin Human Emperor said, "Yes, then you must be the Undying Heavenly Emperor, fellow Daoist?"

The Undying Emperor said, "Fellow Daoist Human Emperor, you guessed correctly. I never imagined that after I had been asleep for hundreds of thousands of years, such a remarkable person as you would be born in this human universe. Truly, the land is blessed with talented people."

“I was curious about you, fellow Daoist, so I deliberately used my Qi to draw you here. I hope you will not take offense.”

The Taiyin Human Emperor said, "It is a pleasure to meet Fellow Daoist Emperor. However, there is something I am curious about, and I would appreciate it if you could enlighten me."

The Immortal Emperor said, "Fellow Daoist, please speak. I will answer all your questions without reservation."

The Taiyin Human Emperor asked, "May I ask, fellow Daoist, what is your relationship with the Wuji Heavenly Venerable?"

The Undying Emperor said, "Fellow Daoist, you figured it out from the great formation surrounding this Primordial Ancient Mine, didn't you? There's no point in hiding it. Both the peerless Holy Spirit in this Primordial Ancient Mine and I are disciples of the Limitless Heavenly Venerable."

When the Yin Emperor revived, the Undying Emperor also sensed his presence. The Undying Emperor's attitude towards this Yin Emperor was quite subtle.

After successfully achieving Nirvana and living out his sixth incarnation, he learned about the enlightened beings who had appeared during his hundreds of thousands of years of slumber. Without a doubt, among these people, the Taiyin Human Emperor was the most dazzling, considered to be on par with himself, the supreme emperor who initiated this era.

Even in the mythological era of Daode Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Yuanshi Tianzun, Master Wuji Tianzun was recognized as the number one person and was called the Great Tianzun. As his disciple, he naturally hoped that Master Wuji Tianzun could become the number one person in this era.

Moreover, after the Immortal Emperor learned more about this Human Emperor, he discovered that he was actually the successor of his master, the Limitless Heavenly Venerable.

Although the Undying Emperor was a disciple of the Supreme Celestial Venerable, his path differed significantly from that of the Supreme Celestial Venerable, relying more on his own continuous rebirth. While the Yin Human Emperor did not formally become a disciple, his understanding of the Dou Zi Secret, his Yin-Yang Dao after attaining enlightenment, and his current Chaos Dao are all consistent with the lineage of the Supreme Celestial Venerable.

Therefore, although the Immortal Emperor was a disciple of the Limitless Heavenly Venerable, the Yin Human Emperor was his true successor.

For the two reasons mentioned above, the Immortal Emperor deliberately came to meet him.
