Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 342 The Vajra Bracelet

Guided by the Celestial Venerable of Morality, the Black Bull flew towards the most central ancient star in this star field. If viewed magnified, this ancient star was located at the center of the Buddha's brow, or rather, at the celestial platform.

After actually landing on this ancient star, Black Bull frowned and said, "Master, this ancient star seems to be somewhat unusual; it's definitely not a safe place."

As soon as he entered this ancient star, Black Bull felt his heart being stirred by a strange, evil force, and negative emotions began to grow. His originally clear and pure Dao heart became somewhat unstable, and even a trace of evil thoughts began to emerge.

However, thanks to the peaceful state of mind he gradually cultivated over many years of following the Celestial Venerable of Morality, these influences were quickly suppressed and disappeared without a trace.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality was unaffected, as he was devoted to the Dao and his state of mind had reached a level close to the Dao. Although this aura could affect the vast majority of cultivators in the world, it had absolutely no effect on him.

He gently stroked the black ox's forehead and said, "Although this place is harsh, it is perfect for you to further your cultivation. Let's go."

Upon hearing this, Black Bull no longer hesitated and followed the direction indicated by the Celestial Venerable of Morality.

After truly witnessing the scenery of this place, even the Supreme Lord of Morality couldn't help but frown.

On this ancient star, whether mortals or cultivators, whether human or alien, all are filled with a strange demonic nature. They have no morality and virtually no order. There is only betrayal and scheming between them, and not a trace of warmth.

Having arrived here only a few months ago, they have already encountered attacks from mortals, human cultivators, demons, and other races. The first reaction of every life on this ancient star upon seeing them is to look for an opportunity to ambush them.

Looking at the local customs and people, Black Ox couldn't help but sigh, "I thought the monsters I encountered on Gouchen Ancient Star were already too much. Compared to this place, they're all too normal. Master, why have they become like this?"

The Supreme Lord of Morality sighed, “They were bewitched by a special force, which caused their minds to be filled with inner demons, and ultimately they lost their humanity and their Dao heart.”

Black Bull said, "Is there really such terrifying power? I wonder where this power comes from?"

The Supreme Lord of Morality said, "This power comes only from a soul that is not quite dead, and some lingering resentment."

Black Bull shuddered and said, "Master, do you mean there's a ghost? Should we go and perform a ritual to send it to the afterlife?"

The Supreme Being said, "Let nature take its course."

The Celestial Venerable of Morality had initially assumed the presence of dark forces here and was prepared to call for reinforcements at any moment. After all, he currently only had a wisp of his primordial spirit power and a celestial artifact at his disposal.

Fortunately, he was wrong. After entering the ancient star, he sensed it with just a little effort and knew it wasn't what he thought. Since that was the case, he could now solve the problem here.

Of course, the most important thing is that the point where he developed a subtle connection with him is precisely the core of the problem. Therefore, if he wants to get what he wants, he will inevitably have to solve this problem.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality drove the black ox westward, encountering countless cultivators of various races who attacked them along the way. But the black ox dealt with them all one by one.

After all, there are only a handful of Great Saints on this ancient star, you could count them on one hand. This Black Bull, a Saint King, is already an absolute expert. Not to mention, Black Bull's bloodline and physique have been greatly enhanced due to the guidance and transformation of the Moral Celestial Venerable, making him have limitless potential. Not to mention on this ancient star, even in the universe, Black Bull is a top figure in the Saint King realm. Therefore, apart from those few Great Saints, Black Bull can practically roam freely.

Several years later, this Black Bull had become a very famous figure on this ancient star.

On this day, they came to a majestic mountain range. This mountain soared into the blue sky, blocking out the sun. It was covered with dense, lush forests, and its scenery was breathtaking and refreshing.

To outsiders, this place is merely a beautiful sight, but in the eyes of cultivators, it is a treasure land formed by the convergence of dragon vein energy, a highly regarded destination on this ancient star.

But in the eyes of Black Bull, who had already become a peak Saint King, this place was simply a demon's lair. There were fewer than ten Great Saints in this ancient star to begin with, but here there were three of them, all of them Great Saints from the demon race. Each of them possessed a vast aura and unparalleled ferocity, making people tremble with fear.

Besides them, although there was no Saint King, there were still many Saint-level cultivators from various races, who seemed to be their subordinates.

Besides these, Black Bull could also sense many weaker auras. Although he hadn't reached the level of a saint, the presence of over 100,000 different auras still left him speechless.

This mountain range is one of the best terrains on the ancient star, and the demon race that inhabits it can be considered the strongest force on this ancient star.

Sensing the aura within, Black Bull swallowed hard and said, "Master, is what you're looking for here? There are some big guys in here; I'm afraid I might not be able to handle them."

Over the years, Black Bull has been through countless battles, but he still lacks the confidence to confront the three Great Sages. As for the other demon races, although their numbers are vast, they can only serve to bolster their prestige and have little real influence.

The black bull transformed into human form, resembling a burly man, though two bull horns still clung to his head. He wore dark blue armor, held a black steel spear, stretched his body, and stood ready for battle.

His armor and weapons were all personally crafted by the Celestial Venerable of Morality. Of course, they weren't made specifically for him; the Celestial Venerable of Morality simply chose this set, the most suitable for Black Bull, from among the pile of miscellaneous items he had crafted and discarded in his armory.

This weapon and armor set is made of a mixture of various divine metals. This special material was one of the experimental materials that the Celestial Venerable Morality refined in order to create materials comparable to celestial metals. Although its strength and divine essence are not as good as celestial metals, it can still be considered a top-tier material in the universe.

Of course, the Celestial Venerable of Morality's experiment was ultimately successful. The material of the Vajra Bracelet was synthesized by him, but it was no weaker than celestial gold.

Seeing that the black ox seemed unsure, the Celestial Venerable of Morality smiled, rolled up his sleeves, took off the bright silver bracelet from his arm, and handed it to him: "This item is made of refined steel and refined by my elixir, which has nurtured its spiritual energy. It is capable of transformation, impervious to water and fire, and can also control all things."

"I originally intended to use this for self-defense, but I was unable to use it because you protected me the whole way. This time I'm lending it to you, and you'll be invincible."

Black Ox was overjoyed and took the gleaming, white bracelet, saying, "Master, what is this called?"

The Supreme Lord of Morality said, "The Vajra Bracelet, or you may call it the Vajra Set."
