Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 919 The Third World

The Bodhi seed that Zhang Bairen ate was not an ordinary Bodhi seed, but a Bodhi seed that had been enhanced by the Dao Emperor through special means. Therefore, Zhang Bairen felt that in addition to living a second life, his own Dao fruit was more perfect, and he even entered a deeper level of enlightenment and benefited greatly.

The Dao Emperor's predecessor was a divine embryo nurtured by the Bodhi Ancient Tree, and he also underwent a transformation by utilizing the laws within the Bodhi Ancient Tree. Therefore, the Dao Emperor has a strong influence over the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Moreover, the Dao Emperor had also mastered the Great Luo Immortal Scripture, which had a very high degree of compatibility with this extraordinary place itself. The Bodhi Ancient Tree had also been nurtured in this extraordinary place for many years and was closely connected with this immortal mountain.

Therefore, the Dao Emperor could indirectly influence the Bodhi Tree through the Great Luo Immortal Mountain. Thus, the Dao Emperor naturally possessed the power to use his great supernatural abilities to cause the Bodhi Tree to bear extraordinary fruit.

Under the deliberate arrangement of the Dao Emperor, this Bodhi seed incorporated a large amount of laws and the essence of heaven and earth from the Great Luo Immortal Mountain, and even contained the Dao Emperor's insights from those several times when the Immortal Kings gave back to him.

In this context, this Bodhi seed was no ordinary Bodhi seed. It not only allowed Zhang Bairen to live a second life, but also enabled him to comprehend extremely profound laws, thereby elevating himself. This was also a carefully prepared gift from the Dao Emperor to his junior disciple.

Since Zhang Bairen has the ambition to evolve the Chaotic Ancient Method into a more complete and powerful form, the Dao Emperor will naturally do his best to help him.

Zhang Bairen was naturally very grateful for this. However, he was currently immersed in enlightenment because of the Bodhi seed, and the Great Luo Immortal Scripture was operating freely, allowing him to resonate with this immortal mountain. Therefore, he couldn't spare much energy to think about these things for the time being.

However, it was from this moment on that Zhang Bairen also determined his method of transformation in his next life, which should be to use the Great Luo Immortal Scripture and the Great Luo Immortal Mountain to transform himself and become stronger.

The Dao Emperor was naturally quite satisfied with Zhang Bairen's enlightenment process. Judging from Zhang Bairen's cultivation in the Great Luo Immortal Mountain in this life, his comprehension was indeed superior to that of ordinary Dao attainers, and his potential was considerable.

With the blessing of the Bodhi tree, it is entirely possible for him to continuously improve himself and ultimately achieve a transformation.

In that case, the Dao Emperor really doesn't need to pay any more attention to Zhang Bairen; he can forge his own path on his own.

Therefore, the Dao Emperor focused even more on his own cultivation.

As for the method of transformation he sought in this life, the Dao Emperor gradually found his direction. Now, the only remaining trace of the Moral Celestial Venerable within his body was the incompletely formed Reincarnation Seal. Although this Reincarnation Seal did not contain the Dao Fruit of his previous life, it did incorporate some of the mysteries of his previous life.

If one can gain inspiration from this Reincarnation Seal, then the Dao Emperor should be able to unify and consolidate all the achievements he has gained from these transformations, thereby generating the most perfect and suitable Dao Fruit for himself.

Among the various methods of transformation collected by the Celestial Venerable of Morality, there were already various mysteries about the Reincarnation Seal. These included not only some research from the Underworld Venerable, but also the accumulation from the old Underworld, and even the Salvation Scripture of the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure and his method of ultimately transforming through the Reincarnation Seal.

Therefore, the Dao Emperor's research in this direction went quite smoothly, giving him hope of success.

And so, Dao Huang and Zhang Bairen each fell into deep cultivation, and the Great Luo Immortal Mountain fell into silence.

As for the human universe, the Jade Emperor had not traveled much in the human universe after attaining enlightenment. Therefore, after these cultivators sensed that his Dao aura had returned to its peak due to living a second life, they returned to peace and began to develop and expand the newly born stars and realms in the human universe as before.

And so, time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, twenty-two thousand years had gone by. At this moment, the Heavenly Heart Mark began to tremble once more, and the aura of the Great Dao within it seemed to be on the verge of collapsing and disintegrating, completely separating from it, thus ushering in a new era for the human universe.

Clearly, this change was caused by the second Jade Emperor reaching old age and nearing the end of his life.

The previous emperor, the mysterious Calamity Emperor, was unique in form and is suspected to be the only emperor in nearly two million years of this era to have achieved the Dao Transformation.

But this Jade Emperor should be different from him; he won't just die quietly like that. However, with this precedent as a warning, the cultivators of the mortal universe still secretly held onto a sliver of hope, awaiting the Jade Emperor's choice and what would follow.

Inside the Great Luo Immortal Mountain, although the Dao Emperor sensed Zhang Bairen's aura, he only glanced at his condition and then paid no further attention.

For him now, whether Zhang Bairen can live to see the next life is something he can see at a glance, so there is no need to pay attention to it anymore.

Beneath the ancient Bodhi tree, Zhang Bairen ended his cultivation in this lifetime and awoke from his long period of seclusion.

His second life lasted for 22,000 years, which is clearly a significant improvement. Even though he lived through the elixir of immortality, the special Dao laws contained within the Bodhi seed allowed him to progress, rather than simply beginning a new life. Therefore, his lifespan increased by two thousand years.

Zhang Bairen was naturally very satisfied with this lifespan.

During his 22,000 years of cultivation, he enhanced himself through the Bodhi Tree, thereby gaining a profound understanding of the mysteries of the Great Luo Immortal Mountain and thoroughly comprehending the Great Luo Immortal Scripture. Therefore, he can now naturally use the power of this extraordinary place to live out his third life.

This step was something he was able to do only after the Celestial Venerable of Morality had him nurtured in the Great Luo Immortal Mountain for many years, raising his compatibility with the mountain to a higher level.

After all, because of this long gestation period, his physique had been deeply affected by the laws and primordial power of the Great Luo Immortal Mountain, and naturally he had a deeper connection with it.

Thinking of this, Zhang Bairen couldn't help but feel extremely grateful to his master, and at the same time, he was shocked by his methods.

Without the Celestial Venerable of Morality, although he could cultivate the Great Luo Immortal Scripture, he probably wouldn't be able to complete his transformation through this method due to insufficient compatibility. But now, he can do it.

Without further hesitation, Zhang Bairen began to circulate his Great Luo Immortal Scripture, allowing himself to resonate continuously with the Great Luo Immortal Mountain. This allowed him to work in concert with the outside world, not only absorbing the primordial power of this wondrous place from the outside but also internally evolving its laws to transform his own origin, ultimately achieving a metamorphosis.

During this process, Zhang Bairen's connection with the Great Luo Immortal Mountain deepened, and he even sensed the connection between the immortal mountain and the Bodhi Ancient Tree, as well as the aura of the Dao Emperor whose compatibility with the Great Luo Immortal Mountain was much higher than his own.

In this state, Zhang Bairen's aura continuously improved, eventually leading to a transformation and successfully living out his third life.
