Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 742 Phoenix Rebirth and the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm

Unlike most cultivators in the human universe, this glorious era was naturally irrelevant to these few immortals. They only cared about who the final victor was, and did not pay attention to the process.

After all, the one who ultimately triumphs in such an era will inevitably be an extraordinary ruler. Even if they cannot complete the Path of Immortal Cultivation, it is quite possible that they can undergo multiple transformations. Such a cultivator is worthy of their special attention.

However, until this person appears and ultimately achieves complete victory, they naturally cannot spare the energy to focus on his rise to power.

However, within the Primordial Ancient Mine, both the Primordial Emperor and the Undying Emperor were awakened by the astonishing aura of this era.

At this time, the Yuan Emperor had already conceived five divine embryos on the gourd vine, each gestating within one of the five gourds, constantly evolving different paths and methods, and growing continuously under the protection and resonance of the Immortal-Slaying Gourd and the God-Destroying Gourd.

His main body, the divine embryo residing in the gourd vine, was in a special state because it had formed a peculiar connection with the vine. Although most of his divine power had been separated, he was still able to maintain his self-awareness and even regain consciousness.

It was during this process that Emperor Yuan discovered that his magic seemed to have room for improvement. In addition to the seven gourd-shaped divine embryos, he should leave one more divine embryo inside the gourd vine as the absolute main body.

When this divine embryo is born in the future, it will be easier to integrate the seven divine embryos into oneself, thus preventing the seven forces from clashing and making it difficult to distinguish the primary and secondary ones.

However, at this moment, Emperor Yuan did not pay much attention to himself, but began to sense the outside world through the Immortal-Slaying Gourd and the God-Destroying Gourd outside the Immortal Vine.

After learning the details, Emperor Yuan couldn't help but say, "Isn't this era a bit too terrifying? Just who could rise to become an unparalleled emperor in such an era?"

The Immortal Emperor pondered, "It's hard to say. Perhaps he will be someone who amazes me as well."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuan was startled and exclaimed, "Could this era really be so terrifying?"

The Immortal Emperor said, "I just have a special premonition."

Emperor Yuan said no more. For a cultivator of Emperor Yuan's level, unless it involved a higher level of power, his premonition was almost certain to come true.

This means that perhaps the third peak of this era, following the Immortal Emperor and the Yin Emperor, is about to appear.

However, Yuan Huang was in a special state at the moment, so he just watched the show and then continued his cultivation without paying any more attention.

Of course, Emperor Yuan had already secretly decided that he would wake up and take a good look at what kind of person this soon-to-be emperor would be after the current emperor successfully attained enlightenment.

Although he felt a sudden surge of excitement, as if an extraordinary powerhouse was about to be born, the Undying Emperor still didn't intend to pay too much attention. After all, the one about to be born was just a junior, and no matter how powerful he became, it would take countless years for him to catch up. He only needed to pay attention to him after he had attained enlightenment.

Having been in physical form for over 100,000 years, he had already sensed that the Taiyin Human Emperor was now drifting throughout the universe and was beginning to exude an increasingly mystical aura. If he didn't step up his efforts, it would be difficult to be overtaken.

Compared to the path to immortality in the mortal world, other things are naturally not so important.

However, just as he was about to begin his cultivation, a strange aura wafted over, causing him to momentarily lose his focus.

After a long silence, the Undying Emperor muttered to himself, "To be born in this era, I really don't know what to say." The Undying Heavenly Blade revived and said to the Undying Emperor, "Your Majesty, should I go and persuade him, or perhaps we should simply seal him away again?"

The Immortal Emperor paused for a moment, then said, "It's alright, let it be. It's a fortunate thing to rise to power in such a great era."

The Undying Heavenly Blade said, "But..."

He didn't say anything more. The Immortal Emperor's decision was something he couldn't change with just a sword, so he could only choose to remain silent.

Subsequently, both the Undying Emperor and the Undying Heavenly Blade fell silent.

What they were talking about was, of course, the birth of the Heavenly Emperor's son, who had undergone countless millennia of rebirth.

After two lifetimes of cultivation, the Heavenly Emperor's son managed to sever the Emperor's mark within his body along with his own cultivation level. He then used the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill to undergo Nirvana and rebuild his cultivation. After that, he fell into silence and disappeared along with Purple Mountain, leaving no trace.

Perhaps sensing the unusual atmosphere of this era, the Heavenly Prince finally ended his slumber and chose to be born in this life to retrace the path of enlightenment.

As the son of the Immortal Emperor, and having undergone two lifetimes of cultivation and this Nirvana, his foundation has slightly improved compared to when he first began cultivating. Therefore, in terms of bloodline and physique, he is absolutely number one even in this glorious era.

Coupled with his personal foundation for rebuilding and his Dao heart becoming more perfect after stripping away the Emperor's mark, the Emperor's son was full of confidence.

At this moment, the geniuses of the human universe were naturally unaware that a person with bloodline power so strong as to defy the heavens had been born, raising the difficulty of this era to more than one level.

Just as the entire human universe was thrown into chaos by this version update, and countless geniuses began to cultivate diligently, thus ushering in a glorious era, a divine silkworm was born on an ancient star deep in the universe.

The masters of this ancient star are various silkworms, including golden silkworms, silver silkworms, and jade silkworms. Although their bloodline power is not bad, they are at most first or second-rate in the human universe, not top-tier. In addition, their numbers are not too many, so their range of activity is not very large.

Among these silkworms, the most powerful is the legendary divine silkworm.

The number of divine silkworms is extremely rare. Each generation typically produces only a handful, and in many cases, it is a single lineage with only one silkworm existing. It can be said that this is absolutely one of the rarest creatures in the human universe.

During its growth, the divine silkworm undergoes continuous metamorphosis, each metamorphosis representing a new life. Legend has it that if any divine silkworm can metamorphose nine times, it will be able to fully develop the bloodline power of its lineage, unleashing unprecedented and terrifying divine power, comparable even to a celestial being descending to earth.

But at least in the entire recorded history of all silkworms on this ancient star, no divine silkworm has ever done this, not to mention in the history of other star regions in the human universe. Therefore, even these very few divine silkworms themselves cannot be sure of the truth of the legend.

Of course, even if it cannot undergo nine transformations, the Divine Silkworm is definitely considered one of the top bloodlines in the human universe. Therefore, since a Divine Silkworm has descended to earth in this generation, it has naturally been cultivated as a core seed.

But unexpectedly, this divine silkworm was extraordinary. Each of its transformations was a complete rebirth, a complete forgetting of everything, and the improvement brought about by each transformation far exceeded the imagination of all silkworms.

In this situation, they were all completely certain that this divine silkworm was special. Perhaps it could really explore the transformation of the divine silkworm to its limit and see if their lineage could really achieve the nine transformations, thereby obtaining a peerless bloodline comparable to that of immortals.
