Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 520 Prophecy
In fact, Emperor Ming's encounter with Liang Yu was an unexpected event. Liang Yu originally had no intention of meeting him, but by sheer coincidence, Emperor Ming happened to pass through the area where Liang Yu lived on his way to the Immortal Sect.

Therefore, Liang Yu made his appearance.

Although he did not reveal any aura, if he really did not want the Emperor to see him, even if he stood in front of the Emperor, the Emperor would not be able to see his presence.

Therefore, Liang Yu took the initiative to meet with him.

Liang Yu said, "Back then, I told Xin Hao that I would leave the challenge of overcoming the mystical arts as a test for future generations. Perhaps someone from the new god race that he insisted on developing as the son of the god race can do it."

"Unexpectedly, my words have come true. After hundreds of thousands of years, such an emperor has actually been born in this line of gods, who has managed to overcome the drawbacks of the Divine Transformation Technique to a certain extent by using the Divine Stabilization Technique."

"Emperor Ming, you are quite good. In the future, your achievements will probably be no less than those of the Immortal Saint Emperor and the Azure Heaven Overlord Emperor."

Although the Undying Saint Emperor and the Azure Sky Overlord broke through the restrictions with the help of the Harmony Flower, their perfect combination with their own physique was enough to allow them to continue to improve after entering the Strange World and the Immortal Realm.

If Emperor Ming could achieve a reversal of fortune, he could naturally surpass them, but he did not. He only managed to perfect his own divine blood through research, so he could only be on par with these two.

As for Emperor Ming, comparing himself to these two was not an insult. Having witnessed the profound power of the Undying Golden Body lineage, he already knew that the Undying Holy Emperor was extraordinary.

Although the Cangtian Bahuang lineage, descendants of the Cangtian Bahuang who was on par with him, lived in seclusion and rarely had contact with the outside world, this lineage still joined forces with the Undying Golden Body lineage to intimidate the ancient clans, so their reputation was still very illustrious.

Being able to compare with those two is indeed not an insult to Emperor Ming.

Therefore, upon hearing Liang Yu's praise, Emperor Ming found himself surprisingly pleased. Although it was somewhat pathetic, in the presence of this great Celestial Venerable, he truly couldn't muster any airs of an emperor; he only felt the reverence of a junior towards a senior.

After all, hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and this Wuji Heavenly Venerable is still alive. Even if he did not become a mortal immortal, he has probably lived countless lives in reverse. Faced with such a figure, he can only look up to him.

Emperor Ming said, "I am truly flattered by the Great Heavenly Venerable's high regard. May I ask what guidance the Great Heavenly Venerable has for me?"

Liang Yu said, "Because you wanted to see me, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Ming fell silent. Since he began cultivating, this Great Celestial Venerable Wuji had been his role model and goal, as well as a shadow looming over his heart. Therefore, after learning about the Path of Immortals in the Mortal World, he did indeed have a vague hope of meeting this Great Celestial Venerable.

After all, this Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji most likely followed the most difficult yet most rewarding path of immortality in the mortal world. Therefore, he most likely has not left the mortal realm, and there is still hope that we can meet him.

But after actually meeting this Supreme Celestial Venerable, Emperor Ming fell silent, unsure of what to say.

Liang Yu said, "I guess you have some questions you want to ask me. Go ahead and ask, I'll answer them to the best of my knowledge."

After pondering for a long time, Emperor Ming could not help but ask, "Great Heavenly Venerable, you destroyed the God Race for the sake of humanity back then, but now that humanity is weak and our God Race has risen again, why don't you intervene again?"

Liang Yu said, "One should be responsible for one's duties in one's position. At that time, I had just attained enlightenment and naturally had to consider the rise and fall of the human race and the future of the universe."

“But now I am too powerful. If I want, I can change the general trend of the human universe at will, let any race rise and rise, let any force perish and perish.” “But in that case, the human universe will become my backyard. How can an existence that can rival or even surpass me be born? Therefore, I will not directly change the general trend of the development of the human universe, but will only guide its development.”

"Regarding the current predicament of the human race, I can only say that things will turn around when they reach their extreme. In this darkest hour, the strong will be born."

"Soon, someone will change all of this."

Emperor Ming's heart stirred. Given his status as a Supreme Celestial Venerable, he wouldn't speak carelessly. Perhaps, the human race was indeed about to give birth to an extraordinary emperor who would change everything.

After all, the words that Wuji Tianzun said to Xin Hao back then have come true for him. Now that he says such words again, perhaps the next Dao Prover will be a human emperor.

Just then, Emperor Ming thought of his people and said, "What does the Great Celestial Venerable think my people will do?"

Liang Yu said, "That depends on what they choose. However, I don't think the gods will be wiped out."

Upon hearing this reply, Emperor Ming breathed a slight sigh of relief. His ascension to immortality was imminent, and these worldly matters should be set aside as soon as possible to avoid affecting his future cultivation. Therefore, Emperor Ming could only hope that his clansmen would heed his admonition.

Having cast aside worldly concerns, Emperor Ming, with the mindset of a pure seeker of the Dao, once again asked Liang Yu: "Great Heavenly Venerable, I have studied the divine blood quite deeply, but why am I still unable to go further and comprehend the essence of the supreme divine blood?"

His mind-stabilizing technique can stabilize the bloodline of those who have cultivated a divine emperor body, allowing them to give birth to offspring with divine blood. Although it still cannot allow the gods to give birth to naturally born divine emperor bodies, the offspring of a stabilized divine emperor body will have stronger divine blood and are more likely to give birth to a divine king body or a divine blood supreme being.

However, he still could not access the supreme divine blood. Although he had cultivated the supreme divine blood perfectly, he could not fully grasp its mysteries and use it to explore the method of reversing life.

Liang Yu said, "Because to understand the Supreme Divine Blood, one cannot only study the divine blood itself. When I first attained enlightenment, I was merely a Divine Emperor. The Supreme Divine Blood was deduced after my research in my first life."

"In this process of deduction, I not only studied the essence of divine blood, but also the relationship between mortal blood and divine blood. That is why I was able to dissolve the divine blood in my later years in my first life, thereby stimulating the immortal essence of longevity and completing a reversal of life."

"You are too fixated on divine blood, and have forgotten that divine blood is essentially just a kind of true blood of the human race, so it is naturally difficult for you to continue to progress."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Ming felt as if he had been enlightened, and he understood many of the problems that had troubled him before. He sighed softly, "So it was because the Great Celestial Venerable understood this that he was able to shed his divine blood and live a second life. I was ultimately trapped by the concept of the divine race and failed to walk the right path."

He then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Great Heavenly Venerable."

Liang Yu said, "Go ahead. Remember to cultivate diligently in that world. There will likely be great chaos in the future, and without sufficient strength, it will be difficult to protect yourself."

Emperor Ming said, "I will obey the decree of the Great Heavenly Venerable."

Emperor Ming then departed, leaving the mortal universe through the celestial gate.
