Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 679 One Strike

After a conversation, the Taiyin Emperor and the Immortal Emperor each gained something.

Those from the mythological era had already progressed much further than them, so there was a clear gap between them and those figures, making it difficult for them to communicate on equal terms.

However, at this time, the difference between the Taiyin Human Emperor and the Undying Heavenly Emperor was not significant; they could be considered to be at the same level. Therefore, their communication was just right, and they could naturally keep up with whatever the other was saying.

The four essential elements for cultivation are wealth, companions, methods, and environment. However, at their level, there are basically no rare and precious treasures that can significantly benefit their cultivation, and they don't find it difficult to find anything available in the human universe. Therefore, the issue of "wealth" is no longer a concern.

The Immortal Emperor occupies the Primordial Ancient Mine, and the Yin Human Emperor temporarily resides on Mount Tai. These are both extraordinary places, the most prestigious cultivation grounds in the human universe, so the significance of these "places" is self-evident.

Therefore, for the Immortal Emperor and the Yin Emperor, "law" and "companion" are the two most crucial elements.

Although they each possess their own methods for achieving immortality, it is difficult for one person to perfect them alone. However, if they become cultivation partners, they can save a considerable amount of time and make their cultivation process much smoother.

Therefore, although the exchange was brief, both the Taiyin Emperor and the Immortal Emperor benefited greatly, had sudden inspirations, and gained many new ideas about the future.

In this state, both the Taiyin Human Emperor and the Immortal Heavenly Emperor unconsciously began to deduce the Dao, and were about to enter the state of enlightenment.

However, at that moment, the Taiyin Emperor thought of the newly born Sun Body and immediately woke up, interrupting his enlightenment process.

He and the Immortal Emperor had a deep exchange on their current achievements, but there was nothing crucial to share for the time being to further enhance each other's understanding. It would be best for them to digest these inspirations during their respective secluded cultivation sessions.

Therefore, we should first go and see that solar body.

Although the Sun Body differs from the Moon Body in that it does not possess an innate death calamity, every Sun Body will die young for various reasons, and to this day, no Sun Body has been able to fully mature. It can be said that the Moon Body and the Sun Body are indeed in the same boat.

To date, only the Taiyin Human Emperor has cultivated the Taiyin Physique to its fullest potential, even reaching the pinnacle of its development. This has given this previously undervalued physique an unprecedented brilliance, truly laying the foundation for its status as a top-tier physique.

If the Boundless Celestial Venerable's deduction was not wrong, then this person with the Sun Body might be able to cultivate the Sun Body to its extreme, just like him, and make this physique truly stable among the top physiques in the human universe.

His death was averted by the Great Celestial Venerable Wuji using a specially refined Earth Life Fruit. It is unknown what kind of misfortune this person with the Sun Body will encounter.

Therefore, the Taiyin Emperor must go there as soon as possible to help him overcome this initial tribulation.

So the Moon Emperor immediately said, "Your Majesty, I have important business to attend to and I must take my leave."

The Immortal Emperor said, "What brings you here, my friend? Is there anything I can do to help?"

The Taiyin Emperor said, "When the Great Heavenly Venerable was guiding me, he gave me the Fusang Divine Tree, hoping that when a suitable person appeared in the future, I could guide him and then give the tree to him. Now, the person the Great Heavenly Venerable foresaw has been born, and it is time for me to fulfill this entrustment."

The Immortal Emperor said, "I see. Since it is a request from our master, we must not neglect it."

The Undying Emperor pondered for a moment, then separated a drop of his own blood essence, refined it into pure divine essence, and handed it to the Taiyin Human Emperor, saying, "I have already lived more than half of this life, and I also have to take care of Fellow Daoist Blood Phoenix's cultivation, so I will not be going with you this time." "However, this matter was arranged by my master. It would have been better if I hadn't known, but now that I know, I naturally cannot stand idly by. I entrust this drop of blood essence to you, hoping that you can use it to help the person chosen by my master to establish their foundation."

Upon hearing this, the Taiyin Emperor immediately replied, "Your Majesty is very kind."

Seeing the Taiyin Human Emperor accept the drop of blood essence, the Undying Heavenly Emperor said, "Human Emperor, please, I'll give it to you."

So, the Yin Emperor and the Undying Emperor left the Primordial Ancient Mine together and returned to that vast starry sky.

The Taiyin Emperor turned around and said, "Fellow Daoist Emperor, please wait, I will be leaving now."

Suddenly, the Immortal Emperor's eyes flashed with divine light, and his aura changed abruptly. Gone was the previous peace; it became more domineering and fierce, as if a supreme god had awakened from his slumber, radiating an astonishing aura that could shake the Three Realms and the Six Paths, and all living beings.

He smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Human Emperor, don't you think it's a bit of a pity that you're leaving like this?"

The Taiyin Emperor was taken aback, but then he understood what the Undying Emperor meant. A fierce fighting spirit ignited in his chest, and his originally calm and indifferent aura vanished, replaced by a supreme majesty and holiness, as if an ancient holy emperor had appeared in the world and a celestial deity had descended.

Seeing that the Yin Emperor understood his meaning, the Undying Emperor raised his hand and unleashed the Undying Phoenix Seal. Supreme divine power gathered and intertwined, transforming into the image of a phoenix, which was imprinted on the Undying Emperor's flawless jade-like palm.

Although this attack was extremely restrained, not even affecting the surrounding stars, its terrifying power still caused the Great Dao of the human universe to tremble.

The Taiyin Emperor also waved his right hand, unleashing the Chaos Divine Seal, which evolved from the Taiyin Divine Seal he created in the past. Endless chaotic energy permeated the air, enveloping his palm and condensing into a hazy scene of the undifferentiated world.

His attack was equally condensed, concentrating all his power into a single point without affecting the outside world.

The five-colored divine light and the chaotic energy intertwined and collided violently, causing the void where they were to silently crumble and annihilate. A void continued to expand, seemingly trying to suck everything into it and completely annihilate it, as if the human universe had been directly pierced through.

Almost simultaneously, a five-colored divine blade and a large black seal filled with chaotic energy descended, suppressing this world and quickly repairing the damage they had caused.

The Undying Emperor withdrew his hand and said, "If Fellow Daoist Human Emperor wishes to find me in the future, follow this aura to trace back to the Primordial Ancient Mine. If I am not in slumber, I will surely come to greet you."

The Taiyin Emperor also lowered his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Emperor, you should know that I am cultivating in seclusion on Mount Tai. If you wish to come looking for me, I will certainly welcome you in person."

The two exchanged a smile and then went their separate ways.

The Taiyin Emperor gazed at the Primordial Ancient Mine, now vanished into the vast starry sky, and sighed softly. That last exchange, seemingly evenly matched, had actually put him at a disadvantage. Had the Undying Emperor not dissipated that remaining power, his right hand would likely have been shattered.

It seems there's still a long way to go.

The Yin Emperor composed himself and headed towards the Ziwei Star.
