Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 428 Son of God
At this moment, in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, the Xuan Turtle finally completed its cultivation. It also ascended to sainthood in one step, becoming even more powerful and perfect.

He not only further perfected his own Tao and Dharma, but also greatly stimulated his own origin and bloodline.

Although the Jade Flower Immortal Scripture was still hidden within his bloodline, the Black Tortoise had already begun to faintly touch upon some of the profound mysteries of this immortal scripture.

Upon seeing the Power Emperor's avatar appear on the opposite side, which had appeared out of nowhere, the Xuan Turtle immediately cupped its hands and said, "Greetings, Senior Power Emperor."

Seeing that the Xuan Turtle seemed to know nothing about Lingbao Tianzun and himself, the incarnation of the Power Emperor did not acknowledge it. He simply said, "I can do something for you, or answer a question for you."

Upon hearing this, the Black Tortoise was overjoyed and asked, "Then, Senior Power Emperor, could you please escort me home?"

The avatar of the Power Emperor was taken aback. Why did his junior brother seem so attached to his home? How could he prove his Dao, become invincible, and become an immortal?
So he said, "This is not possible."

Xuan Gui's smile froze. He said, "Even with the power of Senior Li Huang, you couldn't do this?"

The avatar of the Power Emperor deliberately sighed, "The place you came from is no ordinary place. If it were in my prime, I could naturally send you back, but not now. If you want to go back, you don't need to rely on me. As long as you attain enlightenment, you can go back on your own."

Emperor Xuanwu sighed, "The path to enlightenment is full of bloodshed and slaughter. I have never liked fighting or killing. It is difficult, difficult, difficult."

The avatar of the Power Emperor asked curiously, "Don't you want to be invincible for life and dominate all realms?"

The Black Tortoise said, "I don't want to. I have always preferred stillness to movement. It is best to be able to comprehend the Dao and cultivate on my own, and to sit and watch the wind rise and the clouds surge, and the plants wither and flourish. I don't care at all whether I am invincible or not."

The avatar of the Power Emperor continued, "Then don't you want to become an immortal and gain eternal life? If you want to live such a peaceful and quiet life, shouldn't you first attain enlightenment and then become an immortal?"

Xuan Gui said, "Senior Li Huang is right, but alas. Given the current situation, it seems I have no choice but to do so."

After hearing what the Power Emperor said, the Black Tortoise had no choice but to accept reality. However, this also made his future path quite clear. Whether he wanted to return home or achieve immortality, he needed to first prove his Dao.

Therefore, he can only make this his biggest pursuit now.

Then the Black Tortoise asked, "May I ask where I come from, Senior Power Emperor?"

The avatar of the Power Emperor smiled slightly and said, "The answer lies within your own bloodline. As long as you cultivate diligently and comprehend the mysteries of your own bloodline, you will know where you came from."

Upon hearing this, the black tortoise felt like it had heard nothing at all.

Before he could speak again, his vision blurred, and he found himself outside. Looking at the completely sealed Demon Cave, the Xuan Turtle gritted his teeth.

However, he soon lost interest in thinking about the Demon Cave, because his great calamity was approaching.

Compared to the White Tiger, the Heavenly Tribulation triggered by the Black Tortoise was far more terrifying and vast, practically covering the entire sky in a sea of ​​lightning.

The Demon Lord, naturally familiar with the task, flicked his sleeve again, and a divine wind swept him into a deserted area.

Fortunately, the area around the Demon Cave was a forbidden zone for demons, with large areas devoid of life; otherwise, the Demon Lord would have had no choice but to throw the Xuan Turtle into space.

However, the Xuan Turtle actually survived three tribulations in a row, which amazed the Demon Lord and the other Great Saints.

One of the Great Sages said, "This generation actually has two peerless geniuses who are expected to attain the Dao. Does this mean that my demon race is about to prosper?"

However, another Great Sage expressed concern: "Only one person can attain enlightenment in a lifetime. I'm afraid they will fight among themselves, causing our demon race to split."

The Demon Lord said, "This matter is indeed something we cannot ignore, but there is no need to worry about it now. I can still keep them in check. Go and make preparations. The birth of our Demon Clan's Divine Child is a great event that we should publicize so that other races can witness it."

The other Great Sages departed one after another, leaving only the Demon Lord behind, quietly waiting for the White Tiger and the Black Tortoise to complete their tribulations.

Soon, the White Tiger, who had arrived in the outside world first, finished his tribulation. Having leaped to the third level of the Demon Saint realm, the White Tiger had naturally undergone a complete transformation, elevating him to a higher level. He looked at the demon senior waiting for him and immediately felt a chill. After all, this was the demon leader of the ancient star Gouchen, a demon lord with quasi-emperor-level cultivation.

The White Tiger immediately cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Demon Lord."

The Demon Lord said, "No need for formalities. I know you have offended many people and committed many crimes, but from today onwards, all of these are wiped clean."

The white tiger said, "Thank you, Demon Lord."

The Demon Lord then said, "Logically speaking, since you came out of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave and obtained the inheritance of the Power Emperor, you should be the Demon God Child, and you should also be the future leader of the Demon Clan in Gouchen."

"But this time, another demon has also achieved this step, just like you. So I don't know what to do either."

Upon hearing this, Baihu turned his gaze to the distance, where he saw the mysterious Xuan Turtle in the sea of ​​lightning that was about to dissipate.

So the White Tiger said, "I owe him a favor, and the position of God's Son should belong to him."

The Demon Lord said, "Are you sure? You don't have any advantage over others right now. If you give up the help of my demon race, it will be even more difficult for you to surpass him."

"Moreover, your clan is just a small clan, and their bloodline power is far inferior to yours, an anomaly. If you become the divine child of the demon race, they can also benefit from it and have the hope of becoming the core of our demon race."

Are you willing to give all of this away?

Baihu did not hesitate at all: "A true man has things he will do and things he will not do. On the one hand, I swore brotherhood with him, and on the other hand, I used him as bait to gain opportunities for myself. I have already lost my way and gone against my true nature."

"Yet he was magnanimous after I betrayed him, forgiving me and still calling me brother. He deserves this position as the Son of God."

The Demon Lord nodded, quite satisfied. Although the demon race didn't value morality and righteousness as much, they did value blood ties and bonds of affection. A temperament like the White Tiger's naturally suited his taste perfectly.

Faced with such a principled demon, he was no longer afraid of not getting anything in return for his efforts.

But just then, the Black Tortoise rushed over, greeted the Demon Lord, and immediately said, "Brother Tiger, aren't you trying to trick me?"

The white tiger was taken aback and said, "What trap are you from?"

The Black Tortoise said, "I've always been used to a carefree life and can't bear such heavy burdens. If you want me to be the son of a god, I absolutely cannot agree."

“Brother Tiger, if you really feel you owe me something, then you should take on this position of God’s Son for me.”

Seeing the Xuan Turtle's serious expression, the Demon Lord and the White Tiger exchanged a glance, knowing that he was indeed telling the truth.

The Demon Lord looked at the White Tiger and said, "What do you think?"

The White Tiger looked at the Black Tortoise and saw a growing expectation in its pure eyes, so it said, "I agree."

Thus, the demon race of Gouchen Ancient Star welcomed a new divine son. The Demon Lord proclaimed this widely, making him a truly influential figure and the future leader of the demon race of Gouchen Ancient Star.

The White Tiger clan naturally benefited as well, rising to prominence in every way. Although they were just an ordinary tiger demon clan, with the strong support of the demon race, they began to develop rapidly.

Compared to the initial attempt to save himself, Baihu's success far exceeded expectations.

Of course, the Xuan Turtle also obtained what it wanted. It plunged into the mountain of demon clan scriptures and began further cultivation and understanding of the world.
