Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 914 Farewell
The Ziwei Star has produced three legendary powerhouses: the Wuji Celestial Venerable, the Taiyin Human Emperor, and the Taiyang Holy Emperor. All three were extraordinary experts among those who attained the Dao. They also left behind extremely intricate array patterns to protect this ancient star and some of their own legacies.

Therefore, for most of the nearly two million years of history in this era, Ziwei Star was the core and important place of the human race, ranking alongside the ancient star where Mount Tai, the sacred land of the human race, is located.

After much deliberation, Duan De finally chose a special location on Ziwei Star as the burial site for his body.

This ancient star is home to many powerful individuals, boasts a long history and profound cultural heritage. Choosing to bury oneself here increases the probability of being accidentally discovered.

However, although it is not conducive to the development of Duan De's tomb raiding business, the effect of nurturing the next life here is the best and most suitable for him now.

Thinking of the ineradicable and elusive curse power within him, Duan De felt an intense sense of urgency, so even though the risks were relatively high, he still chose this place.

However, this clearly alters the timeline. While Duan De's journey to the next life will be much faster, it will still take hundreds of thousands of years, by which time this era will likely have ended.

In this way, Duan De, who died on Ziwei Star and probably will never wake up in this era, will no longer be seen by the human demon Dongfang Taiyi as in the original timeline.

However, in the original timeline, Duan De not only started this life later, but also chose to be conceived in the Big Dipper. Therefore, his reincarnation process had already changed, so this is nothing special.

Thanks to his achievement in the Origin Technique of regaining the Heaven and Earth Master realm, Duan De easily opened up the terrain, dug a tomb for himself, and used the field technique to simply use the power of heaven and earth to conceal the aura of his tomb, trying his best to avoid leaving any traces by using other means, and finally perfectly hiding his tomb.

Even this unique terrain, which seemed to possess the wonders of nature, was altered by Duan De using his Origin Techniques, rendering it ordinary and unremarkable.

In this situation, even ordinary enlightened beings would be unable to perceive the special characteristics hidden within without in-depth research.

While it's not a sure thing, it has already mitigated most of the risks.

After arranging everything, Duan Decai took out the memory crystal that he had been hiding.

This divine crystal contained his previous memories, but to avoid failing to achieve perfection in this life, Duan De never used them despite having them. He even deliberately left a divine power within it, sealing it in the Heavenly Nether Treasure within his body, so that it could only be perceived after he achieved perfection in this life.

After attaining enlightenment, Duan De would naturally be able to see the memories within, but doing so might slightly impair his Dao fruition, so he restrained his impulse.

However, now that Duan De is about to end this life and begin the next, the memory crystal can naturally be used.

Duan De then took out the divine crystal, and immediately a vast amount of memories flooded into his mind, making him realize his past life.

Of course, since his laws were only fully established in the life of the Underworld Lord, he only has memories of the life of the Underworld Lord. He is not very clear about the events before, such as the life of the Tribulation Heavenly Venerable or even earlier, such as the events of Cao Yusheng. He still only has some extremely vague fragments.

To fully recover all his memories, Duan De needs to complete the cycle of reincarnation and become a mortal immortal. Therefore, the memory crystal is not actually a necessity; it's just that Duan De needs to know a part of the past and future to better plan his next life.

Although he had some guesses about his past, Duan De couldn't help but gasp in astonishment when he saw himself in this life as the Lord of the Underworld.

Of course, what surprised him most was not how amazing he had been in the past, but that he actually had various intricate relationships with Wuji Tianzun, Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, Daode Tianzun, and others.

After Duan De finished sorting through his past memories, he divided the terrain and further improved his tomb, prioritizing his most important task. However, it was after this that Duan De began to have doubts. Having obtained the memories of the previous Underworld Lord, Duan De was very clear that this cursed power was not a force that should exist in the human universe.

Could it be that……

Just as Duan De began to think of Liang Yu and Yuanshi Tianzun, three figures appeared beside him: Liang Yu, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Lingbao Tianzun.

Despite the vast difference in strength, Duan De could still deduce from their similar auras that Lingbao Tianzun had already become a Celestial King.

Duan De said, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Lingbao, on achieving the title of Immortal King."

He had already met the other two, so there was no need to say anything more. However, he had never met Lingbao Tianzun before, so he offered his congratulations.

Lingbao Tianzun said, "Fellow Daoist, you are about to begin your next life. We have come to see you off."

Liang Yu said, "I don't know when we'll meet again."

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Master, you'd better hurry up. Don't wait until we break through to become kings and emperors before you become an immortal."

Duan De rolled his eyes and said, "You guys are all freaks. You all repair things so fast, it's really embarrassing for someone like me who's a late bloomer."

"Alas, it's a pity I won't have the chance to dig up your graves anymore. It's truly one of the greatest regrets of my life."

As soon as he finished speaking, the four of them couldn't help but smile at each other.

Then, Duan De suddenly looked at the group with a suspicious gaze and said, "What's with this curse power in my body? Is there such a terrifying curse in the human universe?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun felt somewhat guilty and immediately said, "Master, this vast world is full of wonders, so it's not surprising that such remnants exist. After all, our world had a very glorious past."

Duan De glanced sideways at Yuanshi Tianzun: "Then, my good disciple, may I ask you to help me remove this curse?"

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Of course, but Master, don't you think that with this curse power by your side, your achievements will be even greater? This is a rare and precious thing. For your sake, Master, so that you can go further in the future, please forgive me for not being able to remove it."

Duan De immediately flew into a rage: "Is this curse power related to you? I..."

Liang Yu pointed out the details, further completing his tomb and leaving some protective measures to make it more concealed. Then he kicked him into the tomb.

Duan De's angry shouts still echoed from within the mountain: "I will return! You better not give me the chance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his breath began to weaken rapidly until it almost disappeared.
