Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 324 Sacred Ground Primordial Mine
A five-colored divine light streaked across the universe, unnoticed by others. The Undying Emperor did not flaunt his presence, but instead chose to travel at full speed. Of course, to avoid causing any impact on the universe, he still concealed his aura.

The reason for this urgency is that the third incarnation of the Immortal Emperor is now four thousand years old. If we include the thousand years of Nirvana, he has existed for fifty-five thousand years.

Although his lifespan would theoretically be longer after reversing his lifespan through the Longevity Immortal Essence, the increase would probably not be significant.

Ye Fan's third incarnation also involved reversing the natural order through the Longevity Immortal Essence, but his lifespan only increased by four thousand years compared to his second incarnation.

Although Liang Yu also used the Longevity Immortal Essence in his second life, he also achieved the feat of condensing supreme divine blood and dissolving it, which is why he was able to directly obtain a lifespan that was eight thousand years longer than his previous life.

Therefore, the Immortal Emperor's lifespan in this lifetime will not exceed 30,000 years at most.

The path to immortality in the mortal world is inherently precarious, a race against death. Not only must one avoid risks and failure, but one must also complete the journey before reaching the end of one's lifespan; therefore, every moment is precious.

To find the method for Nirvana in the next life, the Immortal Emperor must diligently cultivate in the years to come, daring not to slacken in the slightest. Therefore, the Immortal Emperor naturally dared not waste any time.

Soon, he returned to the Big Dipper.

The idea of ​​the Immortal Emperor to use the power of faith to promote the evolution of the Primordial Ancient Mine did not come from nowhere. In fact, the Purple Mountain where he resided had already been subtly strengthened by the power of faith.

Although the Immortal Emperor never promoted Purple Mountain as any symbol of himself or his dynasty, the mountain was still called the Divine Mountain by all races and became a sacred place in the hearts of countless people.

After all, this is the place where the Immortal Emperor, a god regarded as the supreme deity by countless beings, resides.

Therefore, although most of the faith power surging from the universe was guided by the Undying Emperor and flowed into the Undying Heavenly Blade to nurture the divine embryo, a small amount of faith power still merged into this Purple Mountain.

During this process, the Immortal Emperor discovered that Purple Mountain seemed to be faintly developing an immortal quality, and even underwent some special changes as a result.

Originally, the surface of Purple Mountain appeared smooth, but it actually had some irregularities such as pits. However, under the influence of the power of faith, Purple Mountain began to regenerate, completely filling in these places that had appeared at some unknown time, making it smooth again.

Upon discovering this, the Immortal Emperor attempted to cut off a piece of the stone, only to find that the pit automatically repaired itself after a period of time. Had the stone not remained in his possession, he wouldn't have been able to confirm whether he had actually done it.

That's why the Undying Emperor used this as a condition to obtain the title of Senior Brother when he saw Tai Chu regain consciousness. He didn't dare to make drastic changes to Zi Shan, but the Tai Chu Ancient Mine could definitely withstand it, enough for him to study the principles behind this phenomenon.

Without pausing after returning to the Big Dipper, the Immortal Emperor immediately displayed his supreme aura and summoned the core members of the Divine Dynasty.

Immediately afterwards, the Immortal Emperor, with the Heavenly Decree in his mouth, issued the supreme edict belonging to the Emperor.

The edict stated that the Immortal Emperor had attained enlightenment and immortality in the Primordial Ancient Mine, and therefore wished to establish the Primordial Ancient Mine as the supreme holy site of the Divine Dynasty, binding it to himself. Although somewhat inexplicable, members of the Divine Dynasty at all levels quickly came up with various explanations and enthusiastically began a new round of missionary work.

In this era, the forbidden zones of life seem to have become a thing of the past, but some people who know the past are still aware that there are still forbidden zones of life that have not been eliminated, namely the Primordial Ancient Mine.

However, in the previous era, the Supreme Beings who sealed themselves as the Primordial Ancient Mine were basically Supreme Beings with principles. They did not launch any dark turmoil, and they even participated in the operation to wipe out other forbidden zones of life.

But in the years that followed, the Primordial Mine disappeared into the universe and never reappeared.

But now, the Undying Emperor has elevated this place to such an extent and even bound it to himself. Could it be that the current master of the Primordial Ancient Mine has become this Undying Emperor? What about those supreme beings before? Are they already dead?

Despite their doubts, all the races of the universe obediently followed the arrangements of the Undying God Dynasty, promoting the Primordial Ancient Mine and making it famous, turning it into a rare holy land in the universe.

As time went by, the reputation of the Primordial Ancient Mine rose steadily. It not only became the supreme holy land of the Undying Divine Dynasty, but also showed signs of becoming the supreme holy land of all ancient races.

Even in the future, when the Undying Emperor has gone into seclusion, the Undying Dynasty has fallen apart, and among the most powerful races of the ancient world, one after another has attained enlightenment, with one dynasty rising and another falling, and the flags of power changing hands frequently, the Primordial Ancient Mine still maintains a lofty status.

In the original timeline, the Primordial Mine was a sacred site for all ancient races. This status originated from the Undying Emperor's numerous visits to the place.

From then on, numerous emperors, from the Undying Emperor to the Fighting Saint Emperor, maintained good relations with the Primordial Ancient Mine. Many ancient emperors even went there after committing suicide in their later years. Therefore, the Primordial Ancient Mine naturally became increasingly connected with the myriad ancient races.

This is why the later Emperor Hengyu believed that the Immortal Emperor was very likely to seal himself off in this place, so he deliberately trained weapons to test him and try to lure him out.

In the current timeline, the Primordial Mine is no longer sealed by any Supreme Beings; apart from the Primordial One, the place is now deserted.

However, in order to study the power of faith and to obtain the title of senior brother from Tai Chu, the Undying Emperor still elevated the Tai Chu Ancient Mine to the status of a supreme holy land.

With the skilled preaching of cultivators at all levels within the Divine Dynasty, the name of the Primordial Ancient Mine quickly spread throughout the universe, and faint power of faith began to gather. The Undying Emperor could sense that some of the power of faith related to him was diverted to the Primordial Ancient Mine.

Seeing that his arrangements were beginning to take effect, the Undying Emperor left Purple Mountain, transformed into a five-colored divine light, and returned to the Primordial Ancient Mine.

As the Undying Emperor watched the countless streams of faith power converge and fall from the sky into the Primordial Ancient Mine, he immediately began to observe the process closely with his eyes focused on the five-colored divine light.

Of course, during this time he began to try to manipulate the power of faith using various methods to study its impact on the Primordial Ancient Mine. At the same time, he also multitasked, meticulously observing the benefits that the Primordial Mine gained in this process.
