Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 556 Ancient Road in the Starry Sky
Although no one has set foot on the ancient star path on Ziwei Star for thousands or tens of thousands of years, the changes on the ancient star path have not been too significant. Therefore, the coordinates and general information that have been passed down on Ziwei Star can still be useful.

Thanks to the protective array laid down by the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji, Ziwei Star is now extremely difficult to see from the outside world. Therefore, this ancient star, once renowned throughout the human universe, has almost disappeared and is rarely seen again.

Therefore, there is no life left in Ziwei Star and even in a large area of ​​the surrounding star system. So the eight of them quickly entered the ancient star road.

However, based on the information they had previously obtained, they parted ways and went to different branches of the ancient road. They even decided to go to the end of different ancient roads and finally meet in front of the ultimate ancient road.

Chang Sheng, Mo Tian, ​​Mu Renqing, and Xiao Ran did not want to start a high-intensity competition and determine the results so soon. In addition, the previous competitions between them had not created a significant gap between them. Therefore, they set the time for their reunion in the future, hoping to achieve a new breakthrough in their respective experiences and surpass the others.

The other four, however, did not want to live in the shadow of the four of them from the very beginning.

If they travel with these four, they will always be suppressed, and there will be no way to overtake them or regain their confidence.

From then on, Changsheng embarked on his journey alone, traveling along the ancient starry road and launching an assault on the path to becoming the Human Emperor.

On the ancient star road, Changsheng once again witnessed the dire state of humanity. This ancient road, belonging to humanity, should have been one of the most prosperous star roads in the universe, but now, from participants to enforcers, its scale was desolate, making it difficult to recreate its former glory.

It's not that the human race lacks geniuses, but rather that most of the major human forces in the human universe are currently in dire straits. For example, Ziwei Star has been targeted by the ancient races whose power has expanded, making it difficult for them to maintain the ancient star path.

Over time, many of humanity's prodigies found themselves unable to leave their homeland and enter the ancient starry road, and many aspects of this road had already slipped out of humanity's control, making it difficult to reach the end.

Therefore, they either chose another route or gave up exploring the ancient star trail.

After learning the details, Changsheng did not change his route, but instead chose this path. He would walk to the end of the ancient human path, become the number one human, and attempt to expel the ancient races existing on the ancient human path.

As Changsheng continued his journey along the ancient path of the starry sky, his fame gradually spread. After all, a young ancient emperor with the Taiyin Body rising from the ancient path of the human race, and using the title of Human King, was enough to inspire most of the human race and make the cultivators of the ancient races wary.

Thus, the ancient path to immortality in the starry sky became increasingly difficult to traverse. After all, many ancient races had intervened on this path, and many forces on the human race's ancient path had also colluded with the ancient races to plot against the prodigies born from humanity.

And the currently popular immortality naturally became their biggest target.

Through repeated brushes with death, the realm of immortality has become increasingly higher.

In this process, he acquired several of the Nine Secrets, as well as scriptures from several enlightened beings from the mythical era and the present age.

Although these scriptures are not connected and none of the ancient scriptures are applicable to the Taiyin body, being able to read widely from all the scriptures and understand all the methods is enough to greatly improve his cultivation.

It was precisely for this reason that Changsheng, who was at the peak of sainthood, began to create his own ancient scriptures.

Regarding the goal of creating his own ancient scripture, Changsheng has two directions to overcome. First, naturally, is to create the Taiyin Immortal Scripture that best suits him and his Taiyin body. After all, this is related to the perfection of his own Dao and Dharma.

Secondly, Changsheng also wanted to explore and create an ancient scripture most suitable for human cultivation.

Although the Daoist scriptures are suitable for all races to establish their foundation and even for subsequent cultivation, they tend to focus more on the origin of the Great Dao and do not emphasize any particular bloodline or physique.

In this era where ancient races are uniquely blessed and their bloodline power is generally enhanced by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, most humans do not possess bloodline power and are therefore naturally at a disadvantage.

If Changsheng wants to become the Human Emperor and overcome the current predicament of the human race, he needs to create an ancient scripture specifically suitable for the human race to create advantages unique to the human race, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the human race and narrowing the gap between the two sides.

Therefore, Changsheng wanted to create two ancient scriptures from the very beginning, and the difficulty of achieving his goal was much higher than that of other cultivators who wanted to prove their Dao.

However, although no one has mastered the Taiyin body, the path to immortality can only be explored through personal experience, with little experience to draw upon.

However, his Taiyin Body had already been fully activated under Liang Yu's Earthly Fate Fruit, and it had unleashed unprecedented potential. He had also studied it for many years, so the ancient scriptures about the Taiyin Body and his own cultivation path had already taken shape.

After all, creating an ancient scripture specifically for the human race requires in-depth research into the human race's bloodline and physique, something that the current Changsheng (a type of immortality) obviously lacks.

In the course of his life, Changsheng continued to make progress, began to venture into other star systems without human inhabitants, and further spread his fame.

In this process, Changsheng naturally gained many followers. Although most of them were not human, they were mostly from races that were relatively harmonious with humans.

After all, the human race is currently weak, and many ancient races have clashed with it, resulting in numerous conflicts. Those ancient races dare not gamble with the title of Human King, nor with the promise of forgiving past transgressions against those who have risked their lives for the human race.

Therefore, only those who have nothing to hide dare to join the ranks of those seeking immortality and become their followers.

After that, Changsheng's combat power continued to improve, and he finally touched the forbidden domain when he reached the eighth level of the Saint King. He created his own supreme secret technique and became one of the strongest geniuses on the Ancient Star Road.

Although Changsheng opened up most of the ancient human path and brought it back under human control, some key nodes still remained in the hands of the ancient race and could not be recovered.

However, to reclaim all these nodes, Changsheng would need to reach the Great Saint Realm or even the Quasi-Emperor Realm. Therefore, even though Changsheng had not yet become a Great Saint, he could only overcome these obstacles and arrive at the depths of the ancient road of the human race.

Ultimately, Changsheng reached the Great Saint Realm before even reaching the Ultimate Ancient Road, becoming a powerful being whom he could only look up to in the past. Now, if he could return to Ziwei Star, even if he couldn't achieve a complete victory, he could still change the situation.

At this time, Changsheng was already two hundred years old.
