Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 550 Gathering
After killing these ancient cultivators, Changsheng immediately rushed to the village where he had been before, uprooted the entire land, and transferred it into a magic artifact.

From the memories and words of those ancient races, Changsheng already knew the location of his current location and the patrol routes of those ancient race cultivators.

Although this is a vast, desolate, and remote place, there are still some settlements of ordinary people like this village. Now that Changsheng knows of their existence and the potential danger they may face, he naturally cannot stand idly by.

So he began searching as quickly as possible the areas that the ancient cultivators had not yet thoroughly explored, taking all the remaining humans into his magical artifacts and taking them away.

After all, once these ancient races find them, they will most likely be annihilated. To these ancient races, mortals are not even worth food or slaves.

Perhaps after these ancient tribes have fully established themselves, they will change their strategies, but for now, they still adhere to an attitude of annihilation.

Although Changsheng acted quickly and started the rescue before the ancient clans, he was ultimately not efficient enough on his own, and was thus discovered by the ancient clan cultivators.

Without wasting words, Changsheng immediately took action, quickly killing these ancient races and searching their memories for the areas they had patrolled. He then changed direction and began heading to rescue the humans in other areas.

After this process repeated itself, the ancient clan finally realized something was amiss and sent a cultivator with even higher cultivation to investigate. Thus, Changsheng's whereabouts were completely exposed.

Although Changsheng had lost contact with the Lingguan Holy Land three years ago, the appearance of such a human genius on the edge of their tentative sphere of influence still made the ancient race extremely vigilant.

Is the human race testing us, perhaps preparing to launch a second war before it's even started?
However, being able to eliminate such a genius would be a great thing for them.

Therefore, the ancient clans did not send cultivators of excessively high cultivation levels to participate in the pursuit, in order to prevent another full-scale war from breaking out.

On Ziwei Star today, both sides are led by a group of Great Saints, with Saint Kings and Saints at the top. Therefore, in order not to escalate the situation, both sides generally try to prevent Saints and above from being mobilized.

Therefore, most of the ancient clans that hunted down immortals were at the first or second level of the Immortal Ascension Realm, and even kings who had severed the Dao were few and far between.

As Changsheng grew stronger in battle, more and more people began to hunt him down, and this fact eventually came to the attention of the human race.

Thus, friction broke out between the two sides once again. However, with the tacit understanding between the two sides, even the Dao Slayers were withdrawn, allowing the younger cultivators at the first and second levels of the Immortal Ascension Realm to begin their battle.

As their future, it is helpful for them to gain experience from time to time.

The ancient race needs to seize the time to establish a firm foothold and build a solid rear base; the human race also needs to further integrate its forces to better defeat the other side. Therefore, both sides need time.

That's why they used the pretext of training their own prodigies to control the situation and prevent it from escalating, thus buying time.

As a result, the pressure of achieving immortality also decreased sharply. However, he also began to find that the ancient cultivators he encountered were becoming younger and younger, and their combat strength at the same level was far superior to those he had encountered in the past.

Finally, he encountered a renowned genius from an ancient clan, a descendant of the Jin Hua Quasi-Emperor. This person possessed exceptional talent and, although not yet at the second level of the Immortal Platform, had already demonstrated potential surpassing that of his predecessors.

Changsheng stopped and asked, "What's your name?"

Jin Xiao said, "Jin Xiao."

Changsheng said, "You are a formidable enemy, worthy of being remembered by me."

Jin Xiao said, "But I never remember the names of any of my opponents. You should undergo your tribulation first, otherwise you will not be my match."

Changsheng was actually capable of undergoing several minor tribulations, but firstly, he was frequently hunted down and had no time to undergo tribulations, and secondly, he wanted to use this to target his pursuers at higher levels, so he kept it hidden.

However, Jin Xiao's cultivation level is now higher than his, and he possesses at least the combat power of the Seven Forbidden Realms. Therefore, Chang Sheng can only undergo his tribulation first to close the gap between them. The immense momentum generated by Chang Sheng's tribulation quickly alarmed the various geniuses of the human and ancient races in this region.

They had all survived numerous heavenly tribulations before, so they were quite familiar with this aura. However, this tribulation was far more powerful than they had imagined. Therefore, they were very curious about who this person was.

As a result, most of the top talents of the human race and the ancient race gathered here to look at the figures floating in the sea of ​​lightning.

It was at this moment that Changsheng met the most outstanding genius of the human race for the first time.

At this time, among the human prodigies, after a simple competition, the Human King Body, the Primal Demon Body, the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart, and the Innate Dao Bone, among others, overpowered the other King Bodies and were slightly superior. Although the Divine Body was lagging behind, it unexpectedly obtained a portion of the Ancient Divine Transformation Scripture, which had boundless potential.

Even these few people considered Jin Xiao a formidable enemy. Now Jin Xiao was on high alert, but they didn't recognize the person undergoing tribulation opposite him. However, they could tell from the momentum of his tribulation that this person was definitely not simple.

Therefore, they also focused their attention on the immortality within the lightning tribulation.

The Human King opened his eyes, two runes flashing. He looked into the sea of ​​thunder with his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye and saw the true face of immortality.

He smiled slightly and said, "So it was him."

The other human prodigies all turned their questioning gazes toward this human king, who continued, "This person is named Changsheng, and he was a highly regarded candidate for the Holy Son of our Lingguan Holy Land several years ago."

"What? It was him? He disappeared for over three years. I thought he was dead."

"I originally thought he was just a monkey in the mountains when there was no tiger, but now I can see from this calamity that he is indeed not simple."

"I wonder what this person's background is? I have a feeling that there is something strange about him."

The King of Men said, "He is of the Yin constitution."

"What? The Yin Body? He possessed such a constitution but did not die young. It seems he must have been a person with great fortune."

"The Taiyin Body is the top-tier physique in the universe, so it's not surprising that he has such power."

Looking at Changsheng, the Human King thought to himself, "I want to see what kind of person the Holy Lord values. I hope you live up to your physique."

The Human King Physique was discovered by Quasi-Emperor Lingxu, and then personally taken as a disciple by Holy Master Yun Xian of Lingguan, who carefully nurtured him. He considers himself a disciple of Holy Master Yun Xian and wants to become the hope of the human race, to bear the name of the Human King.

However, during his cultivation, the Holy Master of Spiritual Observation would inadvertently use the analogy of immortality to provoke him. This led to many of the goals in the cultivation of the Human King Body being set according to the standard of immortality.

Therefore, although they had never met, the King of Humanity was deeply impressed by the concept of immortality.

Now, during his tribulation, he was unable to conceal his physical constitution, so the Human King Body used his Martial Arts Heavenly Eye to see that he possessed the Taiyin Body and had a deep mastery of his own Dao techniques.

Thus, Changsheng, who was originally his imagined enemy, truly became his competitor.

The saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." The Human King Body is also quite looking forward to seeing how the battle between Changsheng and Jin Xiao will unfold. After all, Jin Xiao's realm is not only slightly higher than Changsheng's, but also slightly higher than his own, and his talent is also very high.

During this encounter, he will be able to see through Changsheng's true nature to the fullest extent and judge whether he can truly be his greatest opponent.
