Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 678 Communication
From the moment he saw the Taiyin Emperor, the Undying Emperor couldn't help but sigh that his Nirvana method was still too time-consuming. In the brief interval between his sixth incarnation, a mortal immortal seed, not too far removed from him, appeared in the human universe.

The Immortal Emperor was far superior to the Lunar Emperor from the very beginning. His Celestial Phoenix bloodline was comparable to the Chaos Body, while the Lunar Body, though powerful, was ultimately no match. Furthermore, in terms of personal talent, the Lunar Emperor held no advantage over the Immortal Emperor.

Furthermore, during the trials of the Dao-proving process, the geniuses that the Undying Emperor defeated one by one all successfully proved their Dao in later generations, which is enough to demonstrate their talent. Although the Taiyin Human Emperor also had such figures among his opponents, they were not comparable in number and were also inferior in quality.

Therefore, from the moment he attained enlightenment, the Undying Emperor was directly at the Emperor level. Those who could compare with him were extremely rare throughout history. Although the Taiyin Human Emperor was also very impressive, he was still far behind.

In the later Path of Immortality, the Undying Emperor only used the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality, while the Taiyin Human Emperor used not only the Elixir of Immortality but also the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill. Therefore, although both were in their sixth incarnation, the Undying Emperor experienced one more rebirth.

Regarding the methods of transformation they used, the Undying Emperor reduced the difficulty by utilizing the Nirvana power of his own bloodline, while the Taiyin Human Emperor stood on the shoulders of giants, obtaining scriptures from the Wuji Heavenly Venerable and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, thus saving a great deal of time.

Therefore, if we really want to calculate it, the title of Immortal Emperor is more valuable.

Currently, the Immortal Emperor has already achieved the Celestial Phoenix Body after further sublimation with the help of the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality, while the Taiyin Human Emperor has only just become a Chaos Body, so there is still a gap in their combat power.

However, it's hard to say whether these gaps will be closed in the future. After all, the Immortal Emperor's rebirth time might not continue to increase, but it will still be hundreds of thousands of years. If the Empress of the Taiyin Human Realm has efficient transformations several times, then it's possible for her to surpass him.

At this moment, even the Taiyin Emperor was somewhat shocked.

After all, the number one person of their era so far, and the most important target he wanted to catch up with and surpass, the Undying Emperor, was actually a disciple of the Limitless Heavenly Venerable.

It is truly incredible that the Great Celestial Venerable could not only embark on the path of immortality in the mortal world himself, but also that his disciples could reach this point.

However, considering that a large part of his growth was accomplished under the guidance of the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji, the Taiyin Human Emperor quickly calmed down.

The Taiyin Emperor couldn't help but say, "The Great Heavenly Venerable has saved my life, imparted knowledge to me, and resolved my doubts. His kindness is akin to giving me a second life. The Heavenly Emperor is actually his disciple. Truly, a great teacher produces a great student."

The Undying Emperor said, "I have only been awakened from Nirvana for tens of thousands of years. Fellow Daoist, you must have also undergone a long transformation. It is fate that we can meet today."

"Fellow Daoist, please come inside and discuss the Dao with me, so we can explore the methods to achieve immortality together. What do you say?"

The Yin Emperor said, "Since the Heavenly Emperor has invited me, how could I refuse?"

Upon entering the Primordial Ancient Mine, the Taiyin Human Emperor sensed an unusual aura permeating the mine and exclaimed, "Is this the power of faith?"

The Taiyin Emperor had also obtained a large amount of faith power and used it to refine the Emperor Seal. Therefore, he could naturally see that the Primordial Ancient Mine must have been refined by a massive amount of faith power, thus possessing a mysterious aura.

The Undying Emperor said, "Yes, fellow Daoist, you have also used the power of faith to refine the Human Emperor Seal. You should know that the power of faith has the special property of turning decay into wonder."

The Taiyin Emperor nodded in agreement. Soon, they arrived at the core of the Primordial Ancient Mine. At this time, the Primordial One was still in a deep slumber, so the Taiyin Emperor could only see a blurry silhouette of a celestial embryo. Even so, he sensed the extraordinary nature of its physique. This celestial embryo, once born, would likely be no weaker than a Chaos Body.

The Immortal Emperor said, "He is my junior brother, Taichu."

The Taiyin Emperor said, "The Great Heavenly Venerable's vision is indeed extraordinary."

Then, the Undying Emperor and the Yin Emperor sat facing each other, with a blood phoenix statue forged from phoenix blood and crimson gold and a phoenix-winged gilded halberd beside them, emanating an inexplicable aura. Beneath him was a large array that continuously channeled the primordial power of the Primordial Ancient Mine into his body, accelerating his growth.

The Taiyin Emperor sensed the extraordinary aura within and exclaimed, "This is... a weapon that merges with the primordial spirit?"

The Undying Emperor said, "Fellow Daoist, your insight is indeed keen. This is Fellow Daoist Blood Phoenix, who is exploring with me the path of Corpse Dissolution Immortal with the Primordial Spirit Merging with the Dao Weapon as its core."

The Blood Phoenix Emperor was still in deep slumber, focused on his cultivation, and therefore showed no reaction. After all, the path he was about to take was destined to be a long and arduous one, and success would not be achieved so quickly.

The Taiyin Emperor could naturally see that although the Blood Phoenix Emperor claimed to be researching the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal Technique with the Undying Emperor, he was actually more of an experimental subject being researched, while the Undying Emperor was the one in charge.

Of course, that's not entirely accurate, because most of the time-consuming and laborious work involved in the Blood Phoenix Emperor's evolution was done by himself.

Then, the Yin Emperor and the Immortal Emperor began to discuss the Dao. Of course, their respective Daos and methods had nothing in common, so they mostly exchanged their research on the methods of immortality.

Although the Immortal Emperor reduced the difficulty each time by using the power of Nirvana, each of his Nirvana transformations was a truly achievable method of transformation. Therefore, the Taiyin Emperor naturally benefited greatly from these methods.

Although the Taiyin Emperor stood on the shoulders of giants, his method of transformation still had a great effect on the Immortal Emperor.

Because the methods used by the Taiyin Human Emperor so far are ultimately about transforming his own body by leveraging the advancement of his own Taoist practices, thereby achieving complete unity of the physical body, the primordial spirit, and the Taoist practices.

Although the Undying Emperor has undergone Nirvana many times, he has always used the power of his bloodline as the core, and his Dao and Dharma are inseparable from his bloodline. However, he has also seen the possibility of going further on this path.

The laws contained within the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality caused his Celestial Phoenix Body to evolve, becoming even more perfect. That means the predecessor of the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality must have been a phoenix that had pushed the Celestial Phoenix Body to a higher level.

In theory, if the Undying Emperor wants his phoenix bloodline to evolve again, he must deduce a unique evolved version of the Immortal Phoenix Body according to his own Dao and Law.

At that time, perhaps he could truly achieve immortality, become a mortal immortal, and even lay a solid foundation for his future path.

After their exchange, they each gained new insights.
