Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 321 Flying Immortal Waterfall

The Undying Emperor was reborn, standing above the starry sky. Countless auras engulfed countless stars, forming a vast crimson glow. Under this astonishing aura, it was as if a colossal beast, larger than the sea of ​​stars, was hidden within it, causing countless stars to dim and countless suns and moons to lose their light with each breath.

Immediately, his vital energy and blood were completely contained, revealing a young man who looked to be only in his twenties. He was so handsome that he had an unreal, ethereal quality, as if he were a god or an immortal, or in short, not a being of any kind in the human world.

Five-colored divine light condensed behind him, transforming into divine halos that illuminated all directions, making the Undying Emperor appear like a supreme god.

Most of the cultivators in the universe witnessed this scene through the power of faith and the fragments of time scattered by the aura of the Immortal Emperor's rebirth. They cried out, "May the Emperor live forever!"

The Undying Emperor has actually lived another life, making him the same as the previous era's Wuji Heavenly Venerable and Yuanshi Heavenly Venerable, having lived three lives. Although those two did not use the elixir of immortality, in the eyes of most cultivators unaware of the details, the Undying Emperor is already completely on par with these two ancient Heavenly Venerables.

However, these three individuals in succession are all special figures who far surpass ordinary Dao-proving cultivators, which has led many cultivators to forget what a normal Dao-proving cultivator looks like.

The fact that the Immortal Emperor lived to be reborn for the third time meant that the glory of this divine dynasty could continue for tens of thousands of years, which led to despair throughout the world. Countless high-level cultivators suppressed their ambitions and submitted to his power.

Those who had no ambition to begin with became even more devout, after all, they hoped that the peace they longed for could continue.

It was precisely for this reason that countless forces of faith, like an inverted Milky Way, transformed into a silver canopy that obscured the boundless starry sky, heading towards the Immortal Emperor, as if all rivers were flowing into the sea.

The Undying Heavenly Blade grew longer in the wind, instantly becoming larger than the Milky Way. Countless stars reflected on the clear blade, making it seem as if the blade could pierce through heaven and earth and cleave the three realms.

The power of faith continued to gather, but it was completely swallowed up by the Undying Heavenly Blade. Entering its interior, it was as if the Void of Return was hidden within the blade, which could never be filled.

Of course, the Immortal Emperor neither used the power of faith to strengthen himself nor to forge the Immortal Heavenly Blade. After all, he had not yet fully grasped the power of faith, and he did not want to use this power to affect his own purity.

What absorbed this power of faith was actually a divine embryo formed from that power of faith. Under the convergence of this power of faith, the divine embryo began to grow further, truly gaining vitality. As long as the Immortal Emperor provides some guidance, it can transform into a real life form.

The Immortal Emperor nodded in satisfaction, feeling the surging power of faith. After completing his Nirvana, he had deliberately created such a grand spectacle to gain even more power of faith.

Even the establishment of his divine dynasty was for this purpose. In this life, his research will focus on the power of faith. After all, he doesn't intend to remain manifest in the mortal realm forever; once this life is complete, he will retreat into seclusion for quiet cultivation.

During the process of rebirth and living out his third life, the Immortal Emperor clearly realized that this was only a thousand-year period of weakness, but the process would become longer and longer in the future, and in the later stages, his period of weakness during rebirth might be longer than the lifespan of the newly started life.

With his increasingly prolonged period of weakness, it would be too much of a threat and too easy for him to be disturbed if he were to remain alive. After all, he would be powerless to fight during this weakened state. Therefore, it would be best for future generations to believe that he was no longer in this world, allowing him to peacefully undergo Nirvana.

Therefore, this lifetime is his last chance to reap the power of faith, and he must accumulate as much as possible. Perhaps the method for him to achieve Nirvana in his fourth lifetime lies in the power of faith.

So the Immortal Emperor once again mustered his troops. The people of the Divine Dynasty had changed batch after batch, and now he didn't recognize a single one of them. But it didn't matter; he just needed these people to bolster his image and project a powerful presence.

The Immortal Emperor, accompanied by countless divine soldiers and generals, embarked on a grand and imposing tour to further enhance his power. One day, the Immortal Emperor suddenly sensed the existence of a path to immortality. He ordered his remaining subordinates to temporarily set up camp while he himself headed towards the path.

With a gentle swing of his Undying Heavenly Blade, a flash of light appeared, and a thin, narrow opening silently appeared in the void, from which faint celestial light emanated, as if leading to an unknown world.

The Immortal Emperor stepped into it, following the special aura he sensed. This path to immortality had a long history, its origins unknown, and the Immortal Emperor faintly sensed countless resentful thoughts within it.

Deep within the path to immortality, he discovered some strange rays of light converging into a waterfall-like formation, with light rain dancing and divine radiance filling the sky, like the lingering aura of immortals descending to earth, or the remnants of ascension to heaven.

This is a special substance, faintly reminiscent of a celestial realm.

The Immortal Emperor was somewhat delighted; this was actually the legendary Flying Immortal Waterfall!
In later legends, there are three strange substances: the Lake of Reincarnation, the Flying Immortal Waterfall, and the Pool of Divine Souls. These are all special products left behind by ancient supreme beings who explored the method of metamorphosis and immortality.

The Lake of Reincarnation was left behind when the Underworld Lord underwent his transformation. The Lord of Reincarnation and other supreme beings further studied its characteristics and developed the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, transforming it into a new forbidden zone. At this time, both the Sea of ​​Reincarnation and the Lake of Reincarnation are within the Underworld, belonging to the Underworld Emperor.

The Divine Soul Pool was created due to the transformation of the Undying Emperor, so it does not exist at this point in time.

The Flying Immortal Waterfall is the most mysterious. It wasn't left by any single supreme being, but rather by a special substance collectively left behind by supreme beings who have attacked the Immortal Realm countless times since the last era. Legend has it that this substance can lead to the Immortal Realm.

Of course, this legend isn't entirely accurate. The Flying Immortal Waterfall can indeed open a door to another world, but only to a strange realm, not directly into the Immortal Realm. However, this is not all it is.

Once inside the strange world, even immortals cannot freely return to the mortal realm. But with this Flying Immortal Waterfall, not only can one attack the mortal realm from the strange world, but one can even send some less powerful supreme beings over.

In the original timeline, the Undying Emperor repeatedly attacked Ye Fan after entering this strange world, relying on the Flying Immortal Waterfall. In fact, if it weren't for this item, Little Immortal Phoenix would have been killed by Ye Yishui.

The Immortal Emperor put the item away. He realized that the Flying Immortal Waterfall was not complete, or rather, there was more than one Flying Immortal Waterfall in the human world, making it difficult to connect the human world with the strange world.

If he could collect all the remaining Flying Immortal Waterfalls in the human world, he might be able to maintain close contact with the strange world in the future.

The Immortal Emperor himself intends to achieve Nirvana and become an immortal in the mortal realm, so this item is not very important to him. After all, if he wants to enter the strange world, he can simply fight his way in; he doesn't need this item.

Even if the Immortal Empress were to attain enlightenment in later generations, it would be highly unlikely she would succeed; she would have to enter a strange world. Although the Little Immortal Phoenix possesses unparalleled talent, his chances of achieving immortality through rebirth are also low. Therefore, they will most likely have to enter a strange world.

Now that they have the Flying Immortal Waterfall, even if they enter a strange world, they can still make contact with it. Even other supreme beings who participated in the ascension plan can use this object to maintain communication with the human world.

In this way, he and his master and the other ancient venerables could even influence the strange world from a distance.
