Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 515 Return of the property to its original owner
Having become a quasi-emperor, Xin Tianming had already elevated his divine blood to the level of a divine emperor, infinitely close to the pinnacle of divine blood, the supreme divine blood.

This is, of course, the result of his cultivation of the Ancient Scripture of Transformation and the Mystic Arts of Transformation to an extremely high level.

During his years of fighting on the ancient starry road, Xin Tianming studied his own divine body extensively and forged his own path and method. However, in terms of divine blood, he had to admit that the legendary Wuji Heavenly Venerable was an insurmountable peak.

Let alone the Divine Transformation Ancient Scripture he created after attaining enlightenment, even the Divine Transformation Mystic Techniques he created before attaining enlightenment would be enough to stump him.

Xin Tianming had hoped to deduce a method to evolve into the supreme divine bloodline on his own, attempting to break free from the framework of the Ancient Scripture of Divine Transformation. However, after numerous attempts, he was unable to find the right approach and could only continue to use the methods of the Ancient Scripture of Divine Transformation to elevate his own divine bloodline to its extreme.

At the age of two thousand, Xin Tianming successfully cultivated to the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm, but he was far from reaching the ultimate leap; he was merely at the peak of the normal Quasi-Ninth level. This was also a result of the fact that the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth had not yet fully recovered, causing his cultivation speed to slow down somewhat.

In addition, Xin Tianming also evolved his divine blood into supreme divine blood by cultivating the Ancient Scripture of Divine Transformation. Now, his combat power is comparable to the Great Perfection Undying Golden Body and the Heavenly Overlord Body without alternative paths to enlightenment.

In this era, Xin Tianming is undoubtedly the strongest fighter in the open in the human universe.

After all, achieving enlightenment through unconventional means is extremely rare even in a great era, let alone during a recovery period like this.

Of course, there are gains and losses. Although the Ancient Scripture of Divine Transformation was very suitable for cultivating the divine body, and Xin Tianming did not accept it entirely, but only extracted the part of it that developed and evolved the divine body for in-depth cultivation, he was still limited by the framework of the Ancient Scripture of Divine Transformation and found it difficult to break through for a while.

However, Xin Tianming's situation is not serious. The restrictions he faces are less than those imposed by the bloodline of princes and imperial princes. It only makes his ultimate leap more difficult, preventing him from reaching his goal in one step.

At this point, neither the experience of the True Profound Divine Dynasty nor the Divine Race was of any use to him anymore. He needed to break through this limitation on his own and continuously accumulate his own cultivation to eventually succeed in proving the Dao.

So, Xin Tianming left the God Clan and traveled throughout the human world and the universe, hoping to find a way to advance further.

Unbeknownst to him, Xin Hao found himself back in the star field where the True Profound Divine Dynasty had once been located. After numerous battles, this star field was in ruins, essentially half of it destroyed.

Neither the human race nor the other ancient races that joined forces to break through the divine dynasty ever occupied this place again.

However, the True Profound Ancient Star, the core of the True Profound Divine Dynasty, is no longer located here.

Back then, the cultivators of the Undying Golden Body lineage came to the rescue with the ultimate imperial weapon left behind by the Undying Holy Emperor. After several battles, an agreement was reached, and the cultivators of the Undying Golden Body lineage directly moved the True Profound Ancient Star to other regions using great supernatural powers.

Therefore, this star field is utterly desolate.

Xin Tianming sighed softly, then with a thought, he found some broken metal pieces among the countless stardust fragments. This was one of the two great artifacts of the True Profound Divine Dynasty, originating from the first divine ancestor who founded the divine race in the mythological era. He was a supreme being who achieved enlightenment in an unconventional way.

Although this unorthodox path to enlightenment brought it very close to that of a true emperor, a significant gap still remained. Therefore, this powerful artifact, when its owner was outnumbered, clashed with an ultimate imperial weapon and was ultimately shattered.

Xin Tianming gathered up the fragments and sensed the aura emanating from that unconventional ancestor who had attained enlightenment. The sense of kinship from the same origin gave him a sense of enlightenment.

After that, he followed the aura of the great war all the way and found a divine sword in the desolate edge of the universe that was severely damaged but whose deity was still intact and was slowly recovering.

This sword comes from the founder of the True Profound Divine Dynasty, the Supreme Being Xin Hao who achieved enlightenment through unconventional means.

Xin Tianming carefully sheathed the divine sword, slowly accelerating its repair with his own essence. Of course, he also obtained all the Dao and Dharma of Xin Hao from the deity, as well as his later insights.

Xin Tianming was overjoyed, and spent a long time in seclusion in the void to comprehend it before setting off again. Following the guidance of the divine sword, Xin Tianming arrived at the place where the Undying Emperor had once established the Undying Divine Dynasty, the ancient star of the Big Dipper. This was the place where Wuji Immortal Mountain had stayed, and also the place where Xin Hao challenged the Wuji Great Heavenly Venerable.

Under the influence of the divine sword and the ancient scripture of the Nascent Soul that Xin Tianming cultivated, Xin Tianming successfully activated the aura that had dissipated into the world, causing it to reappear.

Xin Hao's overwhelming aura, which was far stronger than his own, did not attract Xin Tianming's attention in the slightest. His gaze was completely focused on the Great Dao aura of the Wuji Heavenly Venerable.

Although the scene replicated in the starry sky was incomplete, consisting only of a colossal hand wielding the Divine Emperor Seal, Xin Tianming still sensed its terrifying power.

Countless divine lights emanated from this hand, and strands of Dao runes intertwined and evolved, as if the palm contained immeasurable heavens.

If it were him, this move would probably have wiped him out completely.

Due to the passage of time, this scene only appeared for a moment before disappearing again. This time, the remaining aura of the Great Dao was difficult to reassemble and reproduce this earth-shattering attack.

Xin Tianming sat cross-legged in the void, not only comprehending and evolving that divine ability but also reaping considerable benefits. After all, this was an unparalleled divine ability formed by the strongest divine body in history evolving the mysteries of its own divine blood.

After absorbing this move, Xin Hao was greatly inspired and created the God King Seal, which became an essential divine power for the cultivation of divine bodies in the universe.

But in Xin Tianming's view, that Divine King Seal technique was simply a poor imitation compared to the Divine Emperor Seal technique from the original master; the difference was too great.

Of course, if Xin Tianming were to do it himself, he would most likely be inferior to Xin Hao at the moment.

After digesting these insights, Xin Tianming repaired most of the damage to the divine sword. Only some minor, fine scratches required a long period of nurturing to heal.

Xin Tianming did not continue, but instead came to the vicinity of the ancestral star of the Undying Golden Body lineage, where the True Profound Ancient Star was also located.

The remaining core cultivators of the True Profound Divine Dynasty received protection from the Undying Golden Body lineage and rebuilt the True Profound Divine Dynasty here, beginning a slow recovery.

Sensing Xin Tianming's aura, a treasure wheel containing the true meaning of the Six Paths of Reincarnation burst forth from the sky, confronting him from afar. Following closely behind were several quasi-emperors from the Undying Golden Body lineage.

The leading quasi-emperor asked, "A member of the Divine Race? Are you Xin Tianming?"

Xin Tianming's reputation has spread far and wide over the years, and many people believe that he will be the second genius to prove himself with a divine body, holding high expectations for him. Therefore, after sensing his aura, which far surpasses that of an ordinary quasi-ninth level cultivator, the Undying Golden Body lineage easily guessed his identity.

Xin Tianming nodded slightly and said, "That is indeed me."

The cultivators of the Undying Golden Body lineage were very nervous. They did not have a fully accomplished Undying Golden Body cultivator in charge at the moment. Even with an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon, they might not be able to stop the opponent. They could only secretly activate the great formation protecting their ancestral star.

Then, these quasi-emperors asked, "What are you doing here? Don't tell me you also want to exterminate the True Profound Divine Dynasty?"

Xin Tianming sighed, "No, I came here only to return the item to its rightful owner."

As he spoke, he took out Xin Hao's divine sword.
