Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 513 Chaos arises
The gods, beings that should have vanished from the annals of history, have miraculously reappeared on Earth, a truly unexpected event.

This lineage of gods actually originated from Xin Hao, the progenitor of the True Profound Divine Dynasty.

Back then, after foreseeing the inevitable demise of the Divine Race, Xin Hao tacitly approved, and even guided, his most outstanding son to lead a group of the Divine Race's elders in an escape, thus preserving the Divine Race's existence. Only then did he seek an answer, a way out, from Liang Yu. And that's how the True Profound Divine Dynasty came to be.

This group of gods who fled have maintained an extremely low profile over the years, avoiding the world and having almost no contact with the outside world.

They abandoned the mystical arts of transformation and the ancient scriptures of transformation, and instead continued the path of the past gods, constantly developing and growing stronger.

Originally, unless a few unparalleled geniuses emerged from among them, it would be extremely difficult for this divine race to return to its original size.

But things soon took a turn for the better.

The new era that began after the end of the mythological era has undergone some changes compared to the past. Its laws of heaven and earth have a promoting effect on the power of bloodlines, which will cause various bloodline powers to evolve.

Although the gods are a branch of the human race, they still benefited from the era's advantages, began to recover rapidly, and gradually gained powerful strength.

After all, the limits of the gods are very high.

However, the gods at that time still dared not expand outwards, and did not even dare to have close exchanges with the outside world.

After all, either the Mystic Transformation Technique or the Ancient Divine Transformation Scripture poses a significant threat that could lead to the destruction of this newly born divine race once again.

They dared not gamble that they or others could resist the temptation to continuously evolve their divine blood, so they chose not to let these temptations have the opportunity to appear around them.

Moreover, those who cultivate the Ancient Scripture of Divine Transformation can absorb the essence of the divine body to accelerate their evolution. If their divine race is not strong enough, they might even be used as human medicine.

And so, hidden away, they slowly recovered their strength.

In this era, the patriarch of the Divine Clan, Shen Yan, possessed extraordinary talent and was born as a supreme being of divine blood. Over thousands of years, he cultivated to the seventh level of Quasi-Emperor. In an era where the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth had not yet fully recovered, this realm was already extremely high.

Moreover, his potential has not been fully utilized. Even after the aura of the Light and Dark Emperor's Path dissipates, he still has hope of continuing to improve.

With him around, the gods can secure a place in this era.

However, soon, the Divine Race had two pieces of good news: the birth of a prodigy named Xin Tianming. He was born with the true Divine King Body, and his divine blood was at an all-time high, almost reaching the level of a Divine Emperor Body.

Although the Transformation Mystic Arts and the Ancient Transformation Scripture greatly increase the upper limit of divine blood, the highest level of divine blood born innately so far is only the Divine King Body or the Supreme Divine Blood. Higher levels of divine blood need to be evolved through the Ancient Transformation Scripture or the Transformation Mystic Arts.

With examples like the Bright Emperor, the Abandoned Emperor, and the Light-Dark Emperor, even if this era isn't the most glorious, there's still hope for attaining enlightenment. And Xin Tianming is undoubtedly an excellent seed for attaining enlightenment.

Under Xin Yan's planning, the Divine Race began its revival plan.

Therefore, Xin Tianming changed his name and joined the True Profound Divine Dynasty, obtained the ancient scripture that Liang Yu left for the dynasty, and also acquired the complete Transformation Mystic Technique and the Transformation Divine Ancient Scripture.

Of course, while these are important, they are secondary. Xin Tianming's main purpose in coming here is to obtain the research results of the True Profound Divine Dynasty on divine blood, the Mystic Transformation Technique, and the Ancient Scripture of Transformation.

If the gods are to truly rise to power, they must avoid the influence of the Mystic Transformation Technique and the Ancient Scripture of Transformation.

The best approach would be to decipher these secret techniques and ancient scriptures, and then create new ones that can enhance divine blood, thus replacing them.

Xin Yan placed high hopes on Xin Tianming, hoping he could successfully attain enlightenment and accomplish this great feat. The current siege and near-destruction of the True Profound Divine Dynasty presented the perfect opportunity to acquire its various research findings, which was why Xin Yan had secretly come here.

Xin Yan asked, "Where is what we're looking for?"

Xin Tianming possessed the innate divine king physique, and no matter how he concealed it, his divine blood remained extraordinary. Therefore, he naturally attracted much attention in the True Profound Divine Dynasty and was implicitly regarded as a potential future leader.

Therefore, he should know the location of the various ancient classics of the Divine Dynasty. That's why Xin Yan came directly to him to save time and avoid being discovered by the quasi-emperors outside.

Xin Tianming took a deep breath and said, "Ancestor, the destruction of the True Profound Divine Dynasty has nothing to do with us, right?"

Xin Yan looked at him and shook his head, saying, "Your heart is still not cold enough. In such a short time, you have developed feelings for this place, which has affected your judgment and made you unable to distinguish between what is important and what is not."

"How can you maintain this kind of mentality in such a chaotic world?"

"However, I can also tell you that although I hate them for being traitors, they are, after all, from the same lineage as us. So I will not take the initiative to deal with them, but I will not help them either. I just happened to be there and wanted to fish in troubled waters."

Relieved, Xin Tianming led Xin Yan to retrieve the research results of the True Profound Divine Dynasty over the past countless years.

The True Mysterious Ancient Star is now engulfed in flames, filled with murderers and victims. No one pays any attention to these events, making it easy for them to succeed.

After all, these studies are only useful to those who possess divine blood.

Seeing the scene of wailing and despair, a veritable hell on earth, Xin Tianming said, "Ancestor, now that we have obtained what we wanted, could we lend them a hand?"

Xin Yan remained unmoved: "I've said it before, I won't deal with them, nor will I save them. Since they've chosen the human race, it's none of our business. If anyone should be saved, it should be the human race sending people, not us."

"Tianming, do you think the human race will send someone to rescue them?"

With a mocking expression, he grabbed the silent Xin Tianming and vanished silently into the starry sky. After all, humanity was currently vulnerable and insecure, making rescue nearly impossible even if they wanted to.

The situation continued to deteriorate, and the cultivators on this ancient star fell one by one.

But soon, an aura of supreme power shone from the depths of the starry sky, and dozens of golden blood energies soared into the sky. They joined forces to summon a treasure wheel, from which the true meaning of the Six Paths of Reincarnation evolved.

These people were human cultivators from the Undying Golden Body lineage. They descended upon this place wielding the Supreme Imperial Weapon, the Six Paths Treasure Wheel, and engaged in a fierce battle with the invading cultivators from various races.

Of course, these people are not truly immortal, nor can they even be said to have reverted to their ancestral state; they simply have some revived true blood within them.

The Undying Golden Body lineage has maintained an excellent tradition since its founder, the Undying Holy Emperor. Although there are some utilitarian and even insidious individuals among them, the overall reputation is still very good.

They possess deep-rooted resources and close ties with many powerful human factions, thus they are unafraid of being besieged. Over the years, they have consistently traveled far and wide to help those targeted by the human race. However, their strength is ultimately limited.

Therefore, even though they were furious and wanted to annihilate all the cultivators from various races who had caused the tragedy, the other side also possessed supreme divine weapons. Thus, although they fought a great battle, neither side was truly willing to sacrifice everything to kill the other.

In the end, although the True Profound Divine Dynasty was severely weakened and nearly wiped out, the Undying Golden Body lineage managed to preserve the last members and prevent its complete annihilation.

However, this bloody and brutal war marked the beginning of a chaotic era.
