Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 693 The Beginning of an Era

Since there was already a Taiyin Human Emperor, and he was the first Human Emperor, the term "Human Emperor" naturally refers more to the Taiyin Human Emperor if no prefix is ​​added.

Now that Tai'an has become the second Human Emperor, in order to make it easier to distinguish, although cultivators in the human universe still only refer to him as the Human Emperor, they will still add the prefix "Sun" to differentiate him from the Taiyin Human Emperor.

As the Sun Emperor sensed the Dao and Law from the Moon Emperor within the Emperor Seal, as well as the core profound meaning of the Human Dao Divine Fist and the power of human faith, he couldn't help but marvel at the Moon Emperor's truly remarkable methods.

This seal was originally the natal magic weapon of the Taiyin Emperor, but he separated it and refined it into a precious artifact for the human race. Moreover, he even left a gap in it, allowing his solar law to be integrated into it.

It's already difficult to forge a weapon to the point of almost becoming a celestial artifact. But to leave blank spaces within it, allowing a future human emperor to directly integrate his own Dao and Dharma into it to further enhance its power, is truly remarkable.

All these signs are enough to prove that the Taiyin Emperor of that time must have reached the point where he could forge immortal artifacts.

The Sun Emperor sat cross-legged atop Mount Tai, beginning to comprehend the mysteries within the Emperor Seal and attempting to integrate his own solar laws into it.

However, the forces of Yin and Yang are not so easily reconciled; instead, they constantly collide and conflict. If the main body of the Human Emperor Seal were not the Human Dao Divine Fist, which was already close to becoming a celestial artifact, even an ultimate imperial weapon would inevitably suffer great damage under the impact of these two forces.

However, this process also allowed the Sun Emperor to experience the mystery of yin and yang harmony ahead of time.

The Taiyin Emperor once secluded himself on Ziwei Star and left behind a plain near Tianyuan City that was turned into a barren wasteland by the powerful solar energy.

The Yin Emperor, who possessed the body of Yin and cultivated the laws of Yin to their utmost, left behind a phenomenon caused by the leakage of extremely profound solar power. Clearly, this is the realm of Yin giving rise to Yang.

Although the Sun Emperor had not yet reached this stage, he knew that this was the direction he would take in the future. Therefore, his ability to comprehend the profound laws of the Moon was laying the foundation for his future path.

And so, time flew by, and the Sun Emperor secluded himself atop Mount Tai for four hundred years, leaving his own solar laws within the Emperor's Seal, further refining them.

During this period, he also further refined the Sun Mother Scripture and his own Tao and Dharma.

Only after this did the Sun Emperor begin to explore the core area of ​​Mount Tai. The unique terrain of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin made the Sun Emperor marvel at the wonders of nature.

The legend of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin is not widely circulated in the universe. Although it seems to follow a fixed route, only a very few people have ever seen it.

Even those emperors who were invincible after attaining enlightenment could hardly detect any aura related to the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin.

The terrain here seems very similar to the legendary Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin, but I don't know what the connection is between them.

Therefore, the Sun Emperor immediately activated forbidden techniques to explore the truth of this place. In an instant, the entire interior of Mount Tai was plunged into darkness, filled with ghostly wails and howls, and a bloody storm descended.

These strange phenomena were nothing to the Sun Emperor. He activated the power of the sun, and countless rays of solar light shone forth, instantly erasing all the strange phenomena.

As he traced the trail, a phantom appeared before him—it was the Taiyin Human Emperor.

The Sun Emperor frowned, a strange sense of familiarity creeping into the figure. He thought back carefully and suddenly realized that the figure he had seen in his childhood bore a striking resemblance to the Moon Emperor who had appeared upon him after tracing his path to this place. Could it be that the Moon Emperor had entrusted the Fusang Divine Tree to him and left behind that scripture? Finally solving the mystery that had troubled him for so many years, the Sun Emperor's spirits lifted.

The Taiyin Human Emperor attained enlightenment more than 200,000 years ago, but he is still alive now. This probably means that the Taiyin Human Emperor has successfully embarked on the path of immortality in the mortal world and has lived more than one lifetime in reverse.

This figure was incredibly powerful, even the Sun Emperor found it troublesome. At this moment, the Moon Emperor's phantom image actually dissipated on its own, failing to hinder the Sun Emperor's pursuit.

It is highly likely that the Taiyin Emperor is still in the mortal realm. Perhaps the Taiyin Emperor himself dispersed his aura, without preventing him from continuing his tracing.

The Sun Emperor continued his tracing and eventually came to Wuji Tianzun, one of the two legendary figures most familiar to the Ziwei Star people.

As a successor of the sacred Lingguan site, the Sun Emperor naturally knew very well the appearance and aura of the Wuji Heavenly Venerable.

After reaching this point, he could no longer trace it back. Firstly, the Great Dao phantom of the Limitless Heavenly Venerable was too powerful to be broken; secondly, he had already seen the Limitless Heavenly Venerable reunite Burial Island with Mount Tai, thus completely restoring Mount Tai, which was already declining.

The history before that is difficult to trace due to the separation and reunification of these two parts.

The Sun Emperor withdrew his supernatural powers, repaired his body damaged by the backlash, and then, after a brief moment of contemplation, set the matter aside. Since so many powerful Dao-proving beings in the past had failed to uncover the truth of this matter, he naturally had no need to dwell on it.

When he becomes more powerful in the future, he will naturally know these truths.

The Sun Emperor integrated the Emperor Seal into himself, nurturing it with his own essence to gradually make it more perfect. He then summoned all the tribes of the human race and officially began the path of becoming the Emperor through the Fengshan ceremony.

As the saying goes, "practice makes perfect." When the Taiyin Emperor performed the Fengshan ceremony and officially became the Emperor, the entire process was very simple, even hasty.

However, during the Sun Emperor's Fengshan ceremony, the human race, after hundreds of thousands of years of development, had already developed a complete and even somewhat complicated ritual process.

Originally, the Sun Emperor did not intend to go through the entire process, but rather to simplify it and only retain the main part.

But at this moment, Cang Nan advised him, "Human Emperor, this ceremony cannot be simplified. The world today is not like it was back then. Back then, when our human race was still rising, we had not yet become the strongest race in the universe. Therefore, as long as we had the Taiyin Human Emperor as our leader, that was enough."

"But now that our human race has reached such a glorious point, if we were to remain so simplistic, we would be unable to establish the sanctity of the title of Human Emperor."

"This ceremony must not only be simple, but it must also be made to win the hearts and minds of all human forces, and to make all the ancient races in the universe feel that we are invincible."

Upon hearing this, the Sun Emperor pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, saying, "You are right. Things are different now than before. Our human race is no longer as pure and united as it once was. Indeed, we still need to use this method to further solidify the human race."

Thus, a magnificent Fengshan ceremony began, which also heralded the true beginning of the era created by the Sun Emperor.
