Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 372 The Affairs of the Mortal World End
After the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation, the Holy Emperor of Immortality, and the Overlord of the Azure Sky successively attained enlightenment, the overall structure of the universe did not change much. However, since these three enlightened beings were all from the human race, the human race gradually began to break away from the ruling system of the Undying Divine Dynasty.

This is also because the accumulation since the mythological era has made the human race more profound than other races, so the Undying Dynasty did not have strong control over the human race from the beginning.

Of course, there is another reason that no one knows: the Immortal Emperor's master, the Limitless Heavenly Venerable, was from the human race, and those hidden mythical ancient heavenly venerables were also human. Therefore, the Immortal Emperor did not use many means to force the human race to submit, but only required them to comply with the divine dynasty system.

Therefore, as the Undying Dynasty's control weakens, the human race will naturally become more and more independent.

Of course, the title of "Lord of All Races" still exists in name only.

After all, none of the three who proved their Dao directly challenged this system.

Unlike the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation, who devoted himself to preaching and cultivating in the Immortal Tomb and thus disappeared from the human universe, the titles of Undying Holy Emperor and Azure Heaven Overlord are still quite well-known.

Both the Undying Holy Emperor and the Azure Heaven Overlord chose to collect materials such as Immortal Gold and begin reforging the Supreme Emperor Weapon.

If the weapons they forged to prove their Dao are to be used in the strange world, then future generations will need a new supreme imperial weapon to pass down to posterity.

Fortunately, thanks to the tireless efforts of the two Earth Immortals and Liang Yu, who has now become the Lord of the Universe, regulating the self-repair process of the Great Universe, while other parts of the Great Universe have not recovered much, the probability of the birth of such immortal gold and divine treasures has increased considerably.

Therefore, these two emperors successfully gathered the materials and left behind a legendary imperial weapon for their descendants.

In the process, they naturally preached and spread their teachings, thus gaining some influence.

After that, they even set up a grand array in the ancient star they had created to protect their descendants.

As for inheritance, for these two types of physiques, the ancient scriptures are not the core; the secret techniques for developing the physique and rebuilding the secret realm are.

Both emperors directly compensated for their physical deficiencies through the Harmony Flower. Therefore, although the secret techniques they created were further improved, they still could not solve the problem that their physical constitutions made it almost impossible for them to attain the Dao.

Therefore, the secret techniques they passed down are not much different from those of the past, only with slight improvements.

The ancient scriptures and supernatural powers underwent an upgrade as they attained enlightenment, becoming more refined and powerful than before.

With these things, these two lineages are already enough to become top forces in the universe, and it would not be difficult for them to stand firm for tens or hundreds of thousands of years.

After finishing all that, the two of them began to concentrate on their arduous cultivation, striving to achieve greater results before leaving this world.

Although they didn't reincarnate and cultivate again like the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana, they had already consumed the elixir of immortality and the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, so they only had this one lifetime. That's why they were in such a hurry.

Time flies, and ten thousand years pass by in a flash.

Whether it was the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana far away in the Immortal Mausoleum, or the two emperors cultivating in their own ancient stars, they had all reached the peak of their current lives.

The Celestial Venerable of Annihilation has completely stabilized at the Quasi-Heavenly Emperor level. However, since his physique is not special, his lifespan in this life is actually only around 17,000 to 18,000 years.

Including the one or two thousand years he spent rebuilding himself before attaining enlightenment, the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana was now nearly twelve thousand years old. With two-thirds of his lifespan gone, he was at the critical juncture of his rise and fall.

Although his potential had greatly increased after his reincarnation, finding a way to reverse his life within a limited time was still too difficult. Therefore, the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation did not persist but chose to enter the Strange World directly at his peak. For the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation, a quasi-Heavenly Emperor, the Immortal Gate was naturally nowhere to be hidden; he could directly break into it. However, although the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation knew about the Strange World, he had no knowledge of that realm and still needed to pay a visit to the Celestial Venerable of Limitless Limits.

Therefore, the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana left the Immortal Mausoleum and headed towards the Boundless Immortal Mountain.

Liang Yu already knew about this matter the moment the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana set off. After all, Liang Yu knew the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana's lifespan better than the Venerable himself.

Therefore, when the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana arrived at the Boundless Immortal Mountain, the world barrier automatically opened, allowing him to enter.

The Celestial Venerable of Annihilation, who had just left the Immortal Mausoleum, couldn't help but sigh. He was indeed quite surprised that the Boundless Immortal Mountain could evolve to this level.

However, considering that the Earth Immortal Technique was originally created by Liang Yu and the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, and that its source techniques were even more advanced than those of the Netherworld Venerable, the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana felt relieved.

After all, what's so strange about the Great Celestial Venerable Wuji being able to do such a thing?

Looking at Liang Yu, whose true strength was completely unfathomable, the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana said, "Greetings, Great Celestial Venerable."

Liang Yu waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Ji Mie, please sit down. I know you've come to ask me something, but please wait a moment, there are two more people coming."

Soon, the Immortal Saint Emperor and the Azure Heaven Overlord also arrived outside the Boundless Immortal Mountain and were invited in by Liang Yu.

The Celestial Venerable of Nirvana looked at the two men and then said, "I never imagined that the three of us would meet here for the first time after attaining enlightenment."

The Immortal Saint Emperor then said, "Fellow Daoist Silent Extinction is like a dragon, appearing and disappearing without a trace. I never expected that we would both come to visit the Great Heavenly Venerable. It seems that we are destined to meet."

The Heavenly Overlord laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist of Annihilation, I guess we've come here for the same reason."

Over the past ten thousand years, the Immortal Holy Emperor and the Azure Heaven Overlord have firmly established themselves at the Quasi-Heavenly Emperor level, reaching their peak.

Although they are not superior to the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation in terms of cultivation and combat power, they naturally have a clear advantage in terms of lifespan, being emperors with the Undying Golden Body and the Heavenly Overlord Body.

Their lifespan in this lifetime is approximately 20,000 years, which is indeed much longer than that of the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana. Although they have not yet reached the point of decline after reaching their peak, they have decided to stop cultivating and place their hopes on the strange world.

So, the two of them followed the aura left behind by Liang Yu and headed to Wuji Immortal Mountain, only to unexpectedly run into the Heavenly Venerable of Annihilation who was also there.

The three of them did not immediately inquire about the strange world, but instead asked Liang Yu about various problems they had encountered in their cultivation.

This is a rare opportunity. With guidance from such a powerful being who is not too far from achieving immortality in the mortal world, they will undoubtedly benefit immensely and gain insight into their future path. After all, once they enter this strange world, they will not have such an opportunity.

After answering all the questions raised by the three individuals, they finally revealed their true purpose for coming.

The Celestial Venerable of Nirvana said, "We have settled our affairs in the mortal world. After leaving this place, we will directly enter the Immortal Gate to go to the strange world. However, although we know that the strange world exists, we do not know the details of its interior. I wonder if the Great Celestial Venerable can enlighten us?"
