Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 699: Later Years
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, thirteen thousand years have passed.

During this period, although the Sun Emperor rarely appeared in the human universe, the human race continued to develop steadily.

With the widespread dissemination of the Taiyin Mother Scripture and the Taiyang Mother Scripture, and their conscious disassembly and refinement by two human emperors and some human cultivators, these two ancient scriptures became the most widely practiced ancient scriptures among the human race.

Many human factions were actually very dissatisfied with this. After all, these two mother scriptures were genuine imperial scriptures. Although they were easy to learn but difficult to master, and even though they were widely circulated, not many people could achieve great success in them, this caused many families and sects to lose their vitality.

After all, the ancient scriptures passed down by most human factions are far inferior to those of the Human Way Divine Fist and these two mother scriptures that expound on the power of Yin and the power of Yang.

In an era when these two mother scriptures were widely popular, the transmission of these forces naturally failed to attract many geniuses to join.

This also poses a threat to powerful forces with ancient scriptures. One important reason why they are able to occupy the upper echelons among the major human forces is that their disciples, after mastering the ancient scriptures, generally have a stronger foundation and greater strength than other cultivators who do not practice ancient scriptures.

The circulation of these two mother scriptures has conveniently allowed cultivators of the human race who did not possess ancient scriptures to also have them, thereby greatly reducing the competitiveness of the disciples recruited by these forces.

In the short term, it may not seem like much, but in the long run, their dominant position will be constantly shaken.

These things had already begun to emerge after the Taiyin Human Emperor spread the Taiyin Mother Scripture, but at that time, the human race was still in a period of growth, and the Taiyin Human Emperor still had residual prestige and the Emperor's Seal, so they dared not interfere with the transmission of this Mother Scripture.

Now that the period of rapid development for humanity has passed, the influence of these two mother scriptures has begun to grow.

But at this time, the Sun Emperor was still alive, and they still dared not do anything to hinder the spread of the Mother Scripture.

This is also a kind of helplessness. The leaders of these powerful forces clearly saw that their sects might decline in status because of these two mother scriptures, but in the face of the Sun Emperor, an invincible emperor of the world, they still dared not take any action to resist.

However, some far-sighted human forces already knew that the spread of these two mother scriptures could not be stopped, so they immediately turned to studying the mysteries of these two mother scriptures, striving to thoroughly understand them so that their cultivators could easily comprehend the profound mysteries within the mother scriptures. In this way, they would still be ahead of those small forces and rogue cultivators.

It was during this process that some people began to try cultivating both the Sun Mother Scripture and the Moon Mother Scripture. From then on, this path became one of the most valued and invincible paths among the major human powers.

After all, those cultivators who tried to cultivate in this way either went mad and suffered from qi deviation, or their yin and yang clashed, resulting in their death or even becoming human bombs and exploding, but they all had one thing in common: they possessed power far exceeding their own potential.

In other words, if someone can master this power, even if their talent and physique are not that high, they may still be able to undergo a complete transformation and possess great power and potential.

This is a truly invincible road!
In the mythological era, a senior cultivator once proposed the Path of Unifying All Laws, which required one person to integrate all laws and ultimately reach the pinnacle of heaven and earth, achieving the Great Dao. This path has only been successfully followed by the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji; others either suffered demonic possession, died suddenly, or wasted their lives without achieving anything.

The immense power of the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji is largely attributed to his mastery of this seemingly insurmountable path, a consensus shared by all. The path of cultivating both Yin and Yang is a similar one, albeit with an even higher risk of death. If one can achieve success in this path, even if it doesn't create a supreme figure like the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji, it might still produce a truly invincible emperor.

From then on, a proverb began to circulate widely in the human universe, especially among the human race.

Which is stronger, the moon or the sun? When yin and yang work in harmony, the world reigns supreme.

The Undying Emperor had little interest in the changes in the human universe. Although he had taken the initiative to curry favor with the Taiyin Emperor because of his master, the Wuji Heavenly Venerable, and even used his own essence blood to help the Taiyang Emperor establish his foundation, it was mostly because they were related to his master and were very talented, perhaps becoming powerful beings no weaker than him in the future.

The solar and lunar powers they practiced were heretical paths that were of no reference value to the Immortal Emperor.

Of course, the Undying Emperor was still somewhat interested in the Chaos Body, the strongest physique in the human universe. Even with his top-tier Phoenix Physique, which was considered among the best in the Phoenix Clan, he could only rival the Chaos Body when he first began cultivating. The title of the strongest physique was indeed well-deserved.

Even though the Immortal Emperor had already evolved his Phoenix Body, he was still curious about this physique.

Besides, it would be difficult for these two emperors to help him anymore.

However, it was precisely because he was inspired by the Taiyin Emperor and studied his process of continuous transformation and physical evolution that the Undying Emperor determined that he would rely on his own Dao and Dharma to further sublimate his immortal phoenix, which had already evolved once with the help of the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality.

The Undying Emperor looked at the Blood Phoenix Emperor. After 40,000 years, the Blood Phoenix Emperor had successfully constructed a small world inside the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Statue and had successfully granted himself a longer period of lucidity, thus giving him more time to grow.

Moreover, he also needs to focus on further improving the Phoenix Winged Gilded Halberd, the key to his Dao Fruit, and allowing it to continuously evolve.

In this process, the Immortal Emperor successfully perfected this method, thus establishing his own path to Nirvana.

The Undying Emperor turned his gaze to the Big Dipper and found that the Heavenly Emperor's son was still developing and in good condition, so he paid no further attention to him. With the Undying Divine Seal and the Purple Mountain Grand Formation protecting him, even ordinary Dao Proving cultivators would find it difficult to threaten him, so as long as he himself was alright, there was no need to worry.

Afterwards, he briefly exchanged a few words with the Fire Emperor, Ning Fei, and the other seven divine generals in the strange world through the Flying Immortal Waterfall. After exchanging greetings, they began to prepare for his next cultivation.

After all, he was already in the twilight of this life. His sixth life lasted for 85,000 years before it came to an end, which was quite a long time.
