Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 429 Ancient Road in the Starry Sky
As time went by, the cultivation levels of the two great seeds, the Black Tortoise and the White Tiger, one in the light and one in the dark, became increasingly profound. They always addressed each other as brothers and had a very close relationship.

Seeing that the two of them had no conflict, the Demon Lord was relieved and began to do his best to support their cultivation.

These two prodigies, with the potential to become emperors, will undoubtedly surpass him in achievement, even if they fail to attain enlightenment in the future, as long as they live. Moreover, they are reliable in terms of character.

In fact, after mastering the ancient scripture passed down by the Power Emperor and further enhancing their cultivation achievements, the Black Tortoise and the White Tiger were already able to enter the Ancient Starry Sky Road for training.

Although Gouchen Ancient Star is among the top life-bearing planets in the universe, most of its prodigies have already been defeated by Baihu. After all, this is not the Beidou of later generations, which has a bunch of descendants or forces of ancient emperors and kings, and even a bunch of princes and imperial princes.

In an effort to surpass the White Tiger and the Black Tortoise, many of the geniuses of Gouchen Ancient Star embarked on the Ancient Star Road, and Gouchen Ancient Star gradually fell into silence.

Perhaps only in other star systems can we find sufficiently powerful opponents to fight against the two of them.

The Black Tortoise sparred with the White Tiger several times, but failed to win each time, and mostly relied on defense. However, he always managed to leave the White Tiger helpless and unable to find a way to win.

Therefore, after their cultivation level continued to rise several more levels, the two of them finally embarked on the ancient starry road.

Of course, the White Tiger did not enter the same ancient starry road as the Black Tortoise. Instead, he asked the Demon Lord to send him into another ancient road.

If the two of them joined forces, they would naturally be invincible, after all, they were two young ancient emperors. However, this would be detrimental to their personal cultivation and future path to enlightenment, so they had to separate.

The Black Tortoise had no objections; its enthusiasm for attaining enlightenment wasn't that high. If it weren't for the fact that only by attaining enlightenment could it return home and live the life it desired, the Black Tortoise wouldn't really want to embark on this path filled with bloodshed and slaughter.

So it didn't matter to him which path he took.

After stepping onto the ancient starry road, Xuanwu and Baihu, though on different ancient roads, both rose to fame at an equally astonishing speed.

However, the White Tiger is more aggressive, hence its fearsome reputation; while the Black Tortoise is more low-key. But on the ancient starry road, the more low-key you are, the more people will think you are not strong enough. Therefore, the Black Tortoise has gradually become famous.

During this process, Baihu received part of the War Emperor's inheritance, further stimulating his physique through the way of war and slaughter.

Therefore, the White Tiger's aura, now released outwards, resembles a demon or a god of death, as if it has become a war god in charge of killing and warfare.

However, due to his background in Taoist cultivation, he was not as extreme, domineering, or fierce as the War Emperor. Instead, he was more gentle and balanced in strength and gentleness, and his mind remained clear throughout the process.

Under the guidance and influence of the incarnation of the Power Emperor, the White Tiger took the initiative to contact the cultivators of the Kunlun clan and build good relationships with them.

This generation of Kunlun Immortal Blood comes from the Lu Wu tribe. The ancestor of the Lu Wu tribe, the Supreme Lu Wu, was also an ancient deity from the mythical era.

Later, when Liang Yu destroyed Kunlun Immortal Mountain, the Supreme Candle Dragon arranged for the nine royal families to hide their whereabouts with the White Tiger Elixir of Immortality. After the situation calmed down, they eventually sought refuge with Ying Shenxiao, who was still an unorthodox Daoist at the time.

After a purge by Ying Shenxiao, the Luwu tribe, as one of the nine royal clans, was reintegrated into the new Kunlun clan.

This Lu Wu, who possessed the blood of the Kunlun immortals, also collaborated with the White Tiger to explore the world transformed from the remains of the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable when he lived out his fifth life. In the end, he mastered part of the Zhuxian Sword Technique and the profound meaning of the Word Formation Secret.

Facing the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Qi, representing the supreme killing power in the universe, the White Tiger's Dao was further perfected. He reached the forbidden realm and created his own laws.

Lu Wu had clashed with Bai Hu several times before, but had always been at a disadvantage, though the gap wasn't significant; they could be considered to be at the same level. However, after Bai Hu reached the forbidden realm, Lu Wu knew he was no longer a match for him. Although the two weren't enemies, Lu Wu had his own pride, so he proactively changed his path, wanting to continue perfecting his Dao and techniques to catch up with Bai Hu, and made a pact with Bai Hu to fight again on the ultimate ancient road.

The White Tiger successfully broke through his own ancient starry road, becoming one of the first cultivators to arrive at the ultimate ancient road.

During its journey through the ancient starry road, the Xuan Turtle also obtained some of the Longevity Heavenly Techniques and the Secret of the Character "Zhe" from the Longevity Heavenly Venerable.

The saying goes, "A thousand-year-old tortoise is like a ten-thousand-year-old turtle." As a divine turtle possessing the blood of the Jade Flower God, the Xuan Turtle's vitality is extremely terrifying and immense.

If we only consider lifespan and vitality, then the vast majority of bloodlines and constitutions in the universe are inferior to his. Therefore, the legacy of the Eternal Celestial Venerable is undoubtedly very suitable for him.

These inheritances further highlighted his bloodline, making it even stronger.

Furthermore, his greatest stroke of luck was obtaining the "Former Word Secret". His innate supernatural ability already included the power of deduction and calculation, and after obtaining the inheritance of the "Former Word Secret", this innate supernatural ability became even more extraordinary.

With these two completions, the Xuan Turtle reached the forbidden realm and pushed through the ancient road it was on, arriving at the final ancient road.

Of course, the Black Tortoise is inherently calm and peaceful, unlike the White Tiger which is brave and ambitious, so it took it longer to arrive at this place.

Since the previous emperors were all ancient figures, countless prodigies in those years proclaimed themselves as their successors. In the Xuan Turtle's generation, many of these prodigies emerged to compete for the opportunity to attain enlightenment.

In addition, this human universe is a great event in itself, so more than two hundred people have left their names here.

After the Black Tortoise left its mark, the White Tiger emerged from the side. Looking at the Black Tortoise, he couldn't help but sigh. Even after such a transformative growth, he still wasn't confident he could defeat the Black Tortoise.

In this light, it's possible that the reason the incarnation of the Power Emperor believed he would have difficulty attaining enlightenment was because of the appearance of the Black Tortoise.

However, the two were still overjoyed to be reunited after so long.

The White Tiger cupped his hands and said, "Brother Turtle, it seems that in this life, my greatest opponent is still you."

The Black Tortoise said, "Brother Tiger, if you don't want to fight with my brothers, you can choose to seal yourself off as a descendant."

The White Tiger laughed, "If I flee without a fight, I will find it difficult to attain enlightenment even in future generations. Besides, who says I will definitely lose?"

The Xuan Turtle smiled slightly and said, "Then we'll meet on the ultimate ancient road. But right now, I feel that you have something I want, and I should have something you want. How about we exchange?"

They then exchanged the secret characters for "者" and "组" for "组".

The secret to obtaining the White Tiger's secret formula not only enhances one's vitality but also further develops one's bloodline and physique. This method is also highly useful in battle.

As for the Xuan Turtle, it originally cultivated the Lingbao Dao Scripture, and its innate supernatural power was a naturally formed Dao Diagram, so the significance of the Character Combination Secret was self-evident.
