Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 471 Transformation into an Earth Immortal

After making his decision, the White Tiger Emperor returned to Kunlun Mountain to begin his final cultivation.

In the remaining time of this life, he will cultivate his Kunlun Immortal Scripture to a higher level and condense more Kunlun Immortal Blood to greatly enhance his connection with Kunlun Immortal Mountain.

Although becoming an Earth Immortal is not as demanding as undergoing a transformation through the Kunlun Immortal Scripture, the requirements for cultivating the Kunlun Immortal Scripture are still quite high. Therefore, the White Tiger Emperor once again devoted himself to cultivating the Kunlun Immortal Scripture.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another five thousand years have passed. The lifespan of the White Tiger Emperor in his third life has come to an end.

In fact, at this moment, the White Tiger Emperor could have extended his life by borrowing the power of the Jade Flower Divine Island, just as the Power Emperor had done before, by borrowing the power of the Kunlun Immortal Mountain to extend his life by several thousand years.

The Emperor did this for two reasons: first, he was not far from the critical point of transformation and he was confident that he could take another step forward; second, the foundation of Jade Flower Divine Island was too profound and could not be compared with Kunlun Immortal Mountain.

However, given the White Tiger Emperor's cultivation progress, even if he had several thousand more years, he would still find it difficult to reach the point where he could undergo a transformation. Moreover, this process would damage the very essence of Kunlun Immortal Mountain, so the White Tiger Emperor did not do so.

After all, he has already chosen to become an Earth Immortal on Kunlun Mountain, so depleting the essence of Kunlun Mountain is adding a burden to his future self.

Since the White Tiger Emperor has already reached the point where he can cultivate the methods of Earth Immortals, there is no need to create any further complications.

The White Tiger King looked at his long, gray hair hanging down, felt his depleted blood and weak body, and got up again.

He had already retraced the path he had taken before attaining enlightenment more than once, so there was no need for him to reminisce this time.

However, the process of becoming an Earth Immortal is also extremely dangerous. If one is not careful, he will become nourishment for Kunlun Mountain and completely perish.

Therefore, the White Tiger Emperor still needed to make arrangements for his affairs after his death, just in case.

For the White Tiger Emperor, there were only two places he needed to take care of: the demon race of Gouchen Ancient Star and the Kunlun Clan, as well as his descendants who had already integrated into the Kunlun Clan.

These two places are his former hometown and his current home.

Therefore, the White Tiger Emperor left Kunlun Immortal Mountain and came to Gouchen Ancient Star again.

This time, he did not preach. Instead, he secretly found several exceptionally talented demon prodigies and passed on some of his insights and supernatural abilities over the years to them. He also cleansed their marrow and strengthened their essence, allowing them to gain greater potential.

Many of these demons have the potential to become the backbone of the Gouchen demon race in the future.

After that, he came to the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.

Upon sensing his presence, the avatar of the Power Emperor awoke from his slumber and said to the White Tiger Emperor, "Is this your third incarnation? Nine-Turn Immortal Pill?"

Judging from the aura of the White Tiger King, although he has made some progress over the years, it is far from a qualitative change, and he should not have experienced a reversal of his life.

Furthermore, the fact that the White Tiger Emperor reached old age at approximately 15,000 years old is sufficient proof of this. After all, if he had reversed his lifespan, his lifespan would certainly have increased.

Having already used the elixir of immortality, only the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill could extend the White Tiger Emperor's life for another lifetime.

The White Tiger Emperor said, "Fellow Daoist Power Emperor guessed correctly; this pill was a gift from Fellow Daoist Black Tortoise." The Power Emperor's avatar wasn't surprised. After Black Tortoise Emperor successfully reached the fourth stage of Earth Immortal, he had also sent his tortoise shell to deliver the news, so he already knew that Black Tortoise Emperor had successfully become an Earth Immortal.

As for the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, it's quite normal for Emperor Xuanwu, as a disciple of Lingbao Tianzun, to master the method of refining the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.

The avatar of the Power Emperor said, "Fellow Daoist White Tiger, do you intend to become an Earth Immortal?"

Li Huang had also cultivated the Jade Flower Immortal Scripture and achieved a transformation through it. Therefore, he was quite familiar with the White Tiger Emperor's current state and knew that it was impossible for him to reverse his life.

Therefore, the White Tiger Emperor, who still did not choose to ascend, must have chosen the path of the Earth Immortal unless he intended to pass away naturally.

The White Tiger Emperor sighed, "Indeed, even emperors have their limits. In these three lifetimes of cultivation, the more I practiced, the more I felt that my potential was limited, unless I found another way."

"Although this method of becoming an Earth Immortal requires abandoning one's physical body, it is still possible to reunite the true body upon reaching the fifth stage and condense a true Kunlun Immortal Body that is currently beyond my reach."

"This path is perfect for me."

The avatar of the Power Emperor said, "But in that case, you will never be able to leave the mortal universe and enter the Immortal Realm or other worlds. This world is very large, and even the Immortal Realm is only a part of it."

The White Tiger Emperor said, "Fellow Daoist Power Emperor, I have already acknowledged my limits. Even if I enter a larger world and have a higher ceiling, it will still be difficult for me to improve much."

"This method of the Earth Immortal allows for steady progress and also grants longevity, which is perfect for me."

The White Tiger Emperor knew that even as the current emperor, he was still far from reaching the limits of this world. Having lived three lifetimes without even achieving a single instance of rebirth in reverse, this was enough for the White Tiger Emperor to recognize his own limitations.

Fortunately, he had already been defeated by the Xuanwu Emperor before he attained enlightenment, so most of his arrogance had long since disappeared. Therefore, he calmly accepted his ordinariness among those who attain enlightenment.

The avatar of the Power Emperor said, "Your current state of mind is indeed suitable for the steady progress of the Earth Immortal method, so I will not persuade you any further. However, I can give you another piece of advice: after you become an Earth Immortal, don't forget the White Tiger Elixir of Immortality."

The White Tiger Emperor was taken aback upon hearing this, but he quickly understood what the Power Emperor meant, so he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist Power Emperor."

When Li Huang mentioned the White Tiger Elixir of Immortality, he was actually reminding the White Tiger Emperor to use his transformation into an Earth Immortal to deeply comprehend the secrets of the White Tiger Elixir of Immortality, and to incorporate the secrets of the immortal spirit White Tiger contained within it when condensing his true Earth Immortal body.

This is similar to what the Xuanwu Emperor is currently doing: to condense a more perfect Earth Immortal true body for himself.

The White Tiger King had been so engrossed in the Kunlun Immortal Scripture that he had forgotten about this entire event.

After returning to Kunlun Ancient Star, the White Tiger Emperor did not immediately begin his transformation into an Earth Immortal. Instead, he arranged for the various tribes of the Kunlun clan to temporarily seal off the Kunlun Immortal Pool at its core, so that he could transform into an Earth Immortal.

Of course, the White Tiger Emperor still cared about his descendants. Although he set up an array here to prevent others from entering, he still left an opening so that others could obtain the water from the Kunlun Immortal Pool.

This grand formation not only has the White Tiger Emperor's own formation patterns, but also connects with the formation patterns left by Ying Shenxiao, and draws on the origin and laws of Kunlun Immortal Mountain to make the formation more complete.

Immediately afterwards, the White Tiger Emperor stepped into the Kunlun Immortal Pool and began the initial cultivation of the Earth Immortal Method in this core area.
