Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 420 Ascension Together
Time flies by. Five thousand years have passed since Ning Fei began to refine his heart in the mortal world, and nine thousand years have passed since he attained enlightenment.

Considering that most of the previous emperors, except for the Power Emperor and Fire Emperor who achieved the reverse life, ascended to heaven after living for only ten thousand years, Ning Fei's time to ascend to heaven is not too far away.

Therefore, although the cultivators in the human universe have not seen Ning Fei for a long time, they are also waiting for an outcome.

Ning Fei was currently wandering on an ancient star. During his years of travel, his strength had greatly improved. Although he hadn't met Chuan Ying in his pre-ascension form, Ning Fei was confident that he was no weaker than him now.

However, after five thousand years, Ning Fei has reached a bottleneck and can no longer make any significant progress.

At that moment, a familiar figure appeared before him—it was the Immortal Emperor. Instantly, an invisible barrier appeared, separating the two of them from the bustling crowd on the street, without anyone noticing.

Ning Fei said, "The Emperor has come to see me specifically. What brings him here?"

The Undying Emperor said, "Since you have been to the Boundless Immortal Mountain and received guidance from my master, then we can be considered fellow disciples."

"So, shouldn't we help each other?"

Ning Fei said somewhat irritably, "We're old friends, and we can help each other even without that connection. Besides, the Emperor's supernatural powers are unparalleled; there are probably few in the entire universe who can rival him. What help does he need from me?"

The Immortal Emperor said, "Yes, it is absolutely necessary. I can naturally handle matters in this human universe, but I am powerless to deal with matters in another world."

Ning Fei said, "Another world? The Fire Emperor is powerful, even stronger than me after his Nirvana. Does he really need my help?"

The Undying Emperor said, "I'm not worried about her. Brother Ning, I know you want to bring people into that world, don't you?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fei immediately understood the Undying Emperor's meaning. He said, "You want me to take a few more people to that world and take good care of them, so that nothing happens to them?"

The Undying Emperor said, "Brother Ning, you understand me well. You were once acquainted with my seven brothers, so you should know that with their talents, it is highly unlikely that they can attain enlightenment in the human universe. They have reached their limit."

"But if they enter that world, where there is a substance that allows them to live forever, they can not only achieve immortality, but also have the hope of making continuous progress."

"However, considering that there are many supreme beings in that world who are equivalent to emperors, their strength is somewhat weak. I am worried that the Fire Emperor alone will not be able to support the situation, so I hope Brother Ning can help me."

Ning Fei shook his head and said, "I can agree to this, but the biggest problem is how to get them to pass through the Immortal Gate together."

The Immortal Emperor laughed and said, "You don't need to worry about that. I will personally send you to that world."

Ning Fei was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but then said nothing more.

To completely dispel Ning Fei's doubts, the Undying Emperor took out the Flying Immortal Waterfall and said, "This thing is called the Flying Immortal Waterfall. It is formed by the convergence of special substances generated when countless supreme beings attacked the path to immortality throughout history. It has the ability to connect the two worlds."

"Although I only have half of it, it is enough to make the great formation in the immortal sect more powerful, allowing you all to enter it together."

"Moreover, if it weren't for the benefit of the human universe, I could send you into that world by myself without the need for the grand formations of the immortal sects."

The current Immortal Emperor is in his fifth incarnation, and unlike the original timeline, he did not use the single method of Imperial Blood and Flesh to undergo Nirvana. Therefore, his strength has greatly improved compared to the past.

As long as it's in a specific location, such as the Immortal Ascension Path on the Ancient Star of Firefly, bridging the two realms is a piece of cake, and even sending other people in wouldn't be difficult for him.

Having sensed the unfathomable aura of the Flying Immortal Waterfall and the Undying Emperor, Ning Fei naturally felt relieved and had full confidence in the plan. He then said, "Since the Emperor has made preparations, how can I refuse? When shall we depart?"

The Undying Emperor said, "I know you, Brother Ning, are eager to be with that woman and share your life, but don't rush. The two treasures you left behind are still quasi-royal weapons. How about I lend you a hand and help you evolve them into ultimate royal weapons, so you will have no worries at all?"

Ning Fei replied, "In that case, thank you very much, Your Majesty."

The Immortal Emperor said, "Brother Ning, let's begin."

Immediately, the two left the ancient star and arrived at the Big Dipper. Of course, although they arrived together, no one could see or sense anything about the Undying Emperor.

The Immortal Emperor opened his mouth and spat out a burst of five-colored divine light, which engulfed the two shields.

Even though he controlled his power, the two shields began to melt, showing signs of destruction.

Taking advantage of this process, Ning Fei began to infuse it with various law runes to accelerate its evolution.

Seeing that the efficiency was not high enough, the Undying Emperor also borrowed the primordial power of the Primordial Ancient Mine from afar to further upgrade it.

In just a century, these two shields have evolved into ultimate royal weapons, and their original framework has not been changed.

If these two shields were separated, each would already be considered a supreme imperial weapon; if combined, their divine aura would be even more extraordinary. Furthermore, the design that allows them to unleash even greater power when combined with array patterns remains.

It can be said that this treasure has become a special Supreme Emperor Weapon that is even more powerful and mysterious than ordinary Supreme Emperor Weapons.

Although Ning Fei was in charge during this process, he knew that the majority of the reason for this success was the Immortal Emperor.

After completing this task, Ning Fei followed the Undying Emperor to the Primordial Ancient Mine.

Ning Fei took out two pieces of immortal essence, one from the Phoenix Maiden and the other from his mount, the Pegasus. He intended to bring both of them into the strange world during this ascension.

The Immortal Emperor naturally released all seven divine generals.

Here, the Immortal Emperor gave them another lecture and provided one-on-one guidance on their cultivation.

The Phoenix Maiden also inherited a larger portion of the Phoenix Treasure Technique.

Thanks to the Fire Emperor's rebirth into a true phoenix, and the Immortal Emperor's research on the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality and his own achievements over the years, the Immortal Emperor directly created a secret technique called the Nine Transformations of the True Phoenix and passed it on to the Phoenix Maiden.

This secret technique can continuously enhance the power of the phoenix bloodline within the body until it eventually reverts to its ancestral form and is reborn as a true phoenix. It is perfect for phoenix descendants like Huang Nu who possess part of the phoenix bloodline.

Centuries later, they each achieved considerable success, further perfecting themselves.

Immediately afterwards, Ning Fei and the Undying Emperor opened the Immortal Gate, combining the Flying Immortal Waterfall with the Ascension Array, thus creating a large enough opening for everyone to enter and ascend together.
