Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 690: Putting an end to the chaos
Tai'an watched Jin Huang disappear into the distance, and couldn't help but sigh. This opponent was indeed powerful enough; even though they had only exchanged one move, he could still feel his immense strength.

If they were to fight under normal circumstances, the situation would inevitably be more difficult than if he defeated the Heavenly Demon King.

Cang Nan was using the secret techniques of the Word Secret and the Overlord Body lineage to heal his injuries and had no time to spare, but Tai An did not start healing immediately. Instead, he asked, "Are you going to make a move?"

Behind him stood the White Tiger King from the Kunlun clan. He was a descendant of the White Tiger Emperor, who had once ruled over the Kunlun Immortal Mountain and left behind a White Tiger faction within the Kunlun clan.

The White Tiger Emperor was a born anomaly, a replica of the Immortal White Tiger, or rather, a weakened version, just like the Blood Phoenix Emperor. In the human universe, his bloodline was considered top-tier.

The White Tiger King not only possesses this bloodline, but also incorporates the immortal blood of Kunlun, making its bloodline even more extraordinary. Without a doubt, this is also a formidable foe.

The White Tiger King's aura locked onto Tai'an, but he hesitated and never made a move.

The White Tiger King said, "That's terrifying. I can tell from your fight just now that you and Jin Huang have already surpassed me."

"Tell me, should I kill you now to reduce the number of opponents?"

Tai'an said, "That depends on your reasons for doing this. If it's from your heart, then it doesn't matter. But if it's for other reasons, or if you can't even convince yourself, then even if you kill me, you won't be able to attain enlightenment."

The White Tiger King said, "Yes, you are right. The Dao Heart is a mysterious thing, but it will definitely affect our cultivation."

"Alas, it seems this life is not meant for me."

The White Tiger King dissipated his aura, looking somewhat forlorn.

Tai'an turned around and said, "You made the right decision."

The White Tiger King sensed a faint aura and was immediately alarmed. He said, "What a fine human king! Even at this point, you still have strength to spare?"

Tai'an said, "I only held back one move. If you really make a move, then I will have no choice but to try a single move to decide life or death."

The White Tiger King shook his head and said, "Perhaps you really can become the Human Emperor."

The White Tiger King turned and left, somewhat lost in thought, but he did not give up. He still had one last hope: the Kunlun Immortal Scripture, a secret transmission of the Kunlun clan, lay nearby.

Once he masters this scripture, his Kunlun Immortal Blood will continue to improve, making his Dao and Dharma even stronger and more perfect. Soon to become a Quasi-Emperor at the fifth level, it's time for him to cross the threshold of comprehending this ancient scripture.

Thanks to the fact that Tai'an used the essence blood of the Undying Emperor to build his foundation, his life essence was extremely vigorous and his regenerative ability was remarkable. Therefore, he quickly and successfully repaired his injuries.

Having accumulated immense strength from the recent great battle, Tai'an's injuries, once he recovered, directly triggered the tribulation that propelled him to the fifth level of Quasi-Emperor.

After recovering from his injuries, Cang Nan sensed Tai An's aura and immediately realized that this human king from Ziwei Star had truly surpassed him and become one of the most promising geniuses of this generation to attain enlightenment.

Perhaps he truly has the potential to create a legend of the Sun Body, just like the legendary Lunar Emperor. Perhaps he could even become the second Emperor.

Within the sea of ​​lightning, Tai'an's strength increased once more. After reaching the fifth level of Quasi-Emperor, he finally broke the seal within his body, fully comprehending all the solar laws within. However, these were no longer important; Tai'an's energy was entirely drawn to the divine tree within his body.

Judging from the golden branches and leaves of this divine tree and the solar energy it emits, this divine tree must be the legendary elixir of immortality, the Fusang Divine Tree.

Tai'an possesses the body of the sun and cultivates the laws of the sun. Therefore, he is naturally the person in the human universe who is closest to this divine tree. He will also gain insights from the solar laws of this divine tree and grow faster.

Cang Nan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your help, King."

Tai'an said, "It is only natural for the various tribes of our human race to help and support each other."

Cang Nan said, "Human King, when you conquer all directions and quell the chaos for my human race, I will come to find you again."

Tai'an said, "Then I thank Brother Cang for his help."

After being defeated by Jin Huang, Cang Nan, deeply saddened, decided to return to the Ancestral Star of the Overlord Body to further reconstruct his Dao and Dharma, in order to make himself even stronger.

Tai'an didn't rush to study the Fusang Divine Tree, but instead embarked on his return journey. His followers had not yet reached the end of the ultimate ancient road, and very few had even become quasi-emperors. Their cultivation and trials were not yet over, so Tai'an only gave them some pointers before leaving alone again, heading towards Ziwei Star.

After returning to Ziwei Star, Tai'an naturally became another source of pride for the Ziwei Star human race.

However, as soon as he returned to Ziwei Star, he went into seclusion to cultivate and did not have much contact with the major forces on Ziwei Star.

He once again washed away his murderous aura, as before, and returned to a calm and serene state to focus on comprehending the Dao.

And so, time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, another two hundred years had gone by. With the help of the solar laws dissipating from the Fusang Divine Tree, Tai'an continued to progress, directly reaching the eighth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

Only after reaching this point did Tai'an emerge from seclusion and contact other forces on Ziwei Star, organizing a team composed of various major powers, thus embarking on the path of quelling the rebellion.

Although the human race remained stable at this time, the conflicts with the surrounding ancient races intensified, and the war situation began to spiral out of control.

Tai'an's mission is twofold: first, to quell the rebellion and suppress all the invading ancient tribes, thus sparing the human race from the ravages of war; and second, to investigate internal problems within the human race and rectify its customs.

The third step is to gain the recognition of all human races in various regions, in order to prepare for becoming the Human Emperor. After all, the most crucial condition for becoming the Human Emperor is to gain the recognition of the majority of human races.

The power of the human race at this time was vastly different from what it used to be. Therefore, under the guidance of Tai'an, the most likely genius among this generation to attain enlightenment, the human race continuously won victories in the war against the ancient races, and most of the ancient races that invaded the human race suffered heavy losses as a result.

Although Tai'an's overall strategy was primarily defensive and counter-attacking, he showed no mercy to the ancient tribes that had inflicted great harm on humanity and committed heinous acts. He launched direct, proactive attacks, penetrating deep into their territory and striking fear into their hearts. In the process, some ancient tribes even perished.

Two hundred years later, Tai'an successfully quelled all the wars that had plagued humanity, thus re-establishing humanity's status. During this process, Tai'an's reputation grew ever more illustrious, and more and more cultivators from various human tribes followed him. Unbeknownst to many, he had already developed the potential to become the second Human Emperor.

At this time, his cultivation level had reached the peak of the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor.
