Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 339 Black Bull Demon

Gouchen Ancient Star is a life-bearing ancient star that was already famous in the mythological era, and is a first-class cultivation holy land in the universe. Although no one has yet been born to attain enlightenment, its foundation is extremely profound, and its prosperity is no less than that of life-bearing stars such as Ziwei Star and Primordial Ancient Star.

The former Yuanxiang King relocated the demon race from the ancient primordial star to this place. After all, the environment here is excellent and no one has yet attained enlightenment. With a supreme being like him, who has achieved enlightenment in a completely unconventional way, backing him up, they can definitely establish themselves here.

Not to mention that King Yuanxiang also used his great supernatural powers to open a new ancient star road, thereby winning over many local demons of the ancient star Gouchen.

Therefore, these demon races from the ancient primordial star have now completely integrated into this place, and almost no one remembers anything about the ancient primordial star anymore.

Of course, this also made the ancient star Gouchen even more prosperous.

However, while the ancient star Gouchen is prosperous now, it still pales in comparison to later generations. During the post-primordial era, when the Stone Emperor and others launched the Dark Turmoil, they mentioned that a great emperor was born here, making this star the center of the universe in a certain era, reaching its zenith of glory. This era might have been the Primordial Era, or perhaps the Desolate Era; in any case, that was the peak of this ancient star's existence.

Of course, if we have to make a calculation, the influence might be even greater if a congenital Dao fetus was born in the ancient star Gouchen in later generations, and she and Ye Fan, who was in the seventh generation of the Great Dream of Eternity, gave birth to Ye Yishui, the congenital holy body Dao fetus.

However, even without these events, the current Gouchen Ancient Star is already quite extraordinary.

The first place that the Celestial Venerable of Morality deduced was this ancient star.

The ancient star Gouchen was so vast that even though it was a first-class cultivation holy land, a considerable portion of its area remained barren and underdeveloped, incapable of producing cultivators. The Celestial Venerable of Morality was currently residing in such a region.

He wandered through the wilderness, eating wild fruits and drinking morning dew, heading in the direction he had deduced. Before long, he arrived at a desolate mountain.

Just then, a group of people hurried by. The leader, seeing his sage-like appearance and kind face, couldn't help but feel a sense of kinship.

Then the leader said, "Old sir, are you going into the mountains?"

The Supreme Lord of Morality said, "Yes, I need to go to the other side of the mountain."

The man sighed, "Old sir, you don't understand, this road is blocked."

The Supreme Lord of Morality asked, "I would like to hear the details."

The man said, “Although this place is remote, it has always been the shortcut for us to cross the mountain. Although the road is difficult to travel, it saves us some time. But a few years ago, a monster came to this place and would eat people at will, and countless travelers have been killed.”

"Dozens of hunters in the mountains thought it was an ordinary ferocious beast, so they went to hunt it together. Unexpectedly, only one person survived, and the rest died in the mountains. The one who escaped was so frightened that he went insane."

"Sir, you'd better not take the risk. Come with us and take a longer route."

The Celestial Venerable said, "Is that so? Thank you for your kindness, but I have urgent business to attend to and must leave."

"How can you be so ungrateful? My brother is trying to give you some advice, and you don't appreciate it? Do you think we'd try to scam you?" one person said indignantly.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality cupped his hands and said, "Thank you all for your kindness, but my life is not yet over, and I will not die here."

Seeing that the Celestial Venerable of Morality was determined, the leader said, "Since you are so determined to go, sir, remember not to venture too far into this mountain. Travel as quickly as possible around noon, and you may be able to avoid the monster. In the past few years, only one person has survived because of this." The Celestial Venerable of Morality said, "Thank you for your kind offer."

He then followed the path, which had become overgrown with weeds due to years of neglect, and entered the desolate mountains.

"His good intentions were taken for granted. I think he's tired of living."

"This old gentleman has an extraordinary demeanor, unlike ordinary people. Perhaps he really does have some special abilities. Let's go, we still have a long way to go."

As the group traveled, they suddenly found that all their fatigue had vanished, and they were full of energy. Even the injuries they had sustained earlier had disappeared.

The leader remained silent after realizing this. But in his heart, he thought: Could this old man be one of the legendary immortal masters who came specifically to slay demons and monsters? Rumor has it that at the end of this mountain range there is a sect composed of immortal masters; perhaps this man comes from there?

He had a vague premonition that perhaps the monster's end was near. However, getting on his way was the priority now.

In the desolate mountains, the Celestial Venerable of Morality strolled leisurely through the forest. Even without using his primordial spirit power, he could still sense a sticky, fishy wind.

Deep in the dense forest, a blue wolf demon over ten feet tall lay dozing. But its ears remained perked up, twitching as it watched the outside world.

Upon sensing the presence of a stranger, it immediately opened its eyes, its bright green pupils gleaming faintly in the shadows.

Seeing the appearance of the Moral Celestial Venerable as an old immortal, it couldn't help but feel uneasy. Over the years, it had captured some humans, making them tell it about the outside world before eating them.

These people like to say that the three types of people you should never mess with in the martial arts world are beggars, monks, and women. This guy in front of me isn't a monk, but he is a Taoist priest. Could he also be someone you shouldn't mess with?
But it quickly slapped itself: I am a monster! Even if a mortal has learned some martial arts, how can he fight a monster like me?
So it relaxed, bared its fangs, and walked toward the Moral Celestial.

At this moment, the ground trembled slightly, which startled the wolf demon. What was that noise? Was it an earthquake? Then, the sound of trees breaking came from afar, as if some giant beast was charging in.

Before the wolf demon could get a good look, a black figure transformed into a streak of light and flew past, smashing it into a pile of minced meat.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality silently lowered his hand from his arm. This unexpected turn of events prevented him from using a celestial artifact to fight a wolf demon whose cultivation was so low as to be considered insignificant.

However, all things considered, this wolf demon really lost out big time. Compared to dying an unclear death like this, being killed by the Vajra Bracelet would obviously be more dignified, after all, that's a celestial artifact.

After the dust settled, the black figure was revealed to be a giant black bull, tens of meters tall, whose cultivation level was roughly equivalent to the Great Perfection of the Sea of ​​Wheels Realm.

Judging from his trajectory, he must have been moving forward at full speed in a straight line, clearing away all obstacles in his path and creating a road.

The black ox stared at the Celestial Venerable and asked, "Are there any other people going into the mountain?"

The Supreme Lord of Morality silently shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Black Ox immediately knelt down and said, "Please, Immortal, guide me in my cultivation!"
