Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 559 Prince Ming

Brahma Supreme was slightly surprised after sensing these two auras. Although they had never fought, he could feel that these two geniuses were truly talented and had the potential to attain enlightenment. They were completely different from the people he had encountered in this life and even in his previous life when he was attaining enlightenment in the mythical era.

If he had encountered those two in his previous life, the final outcome would likely have been uncertain. However, now that he has been reborn, his potential in the Dao and Dharma is even more perfect. Unless he encounters someone like the Limitless Heavenly Venerable, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, or the Undying Heavenly Emperor, he is not too worried about being weaker than others.

Brahma Supreme quickly regained his composure and said loudly, "Fellow Daoists, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Chang Sheng and Mu Renqing also dispelled their confrontational aura and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

After exchanging a few words with Changsheng and Mu Renqing, Brahma Supreme left his name on the crystal tablet.

He didn't have many connections with the people of this world, so he simply closed his eyes and began to cultivate in seclusion in front of the crystal tablet, preparing for the trials of the ultimate ancient road.

Chang Sheng and Mu Renqing were still keeping an eye on the other geniuses who were coming to the Starry Sky Ancient Road, waiting for Xiao Ran, the last of the eight who was still missing.

However, even after more than two hundred Great Sages had nominated themselves before the final ancient road, Xiao Ran still failed to arrive.

Had something happened to him? After obtaining the incomplete Ancient Scripture of Divine Transformation, Xiao Ran's divine body underwent further upgrades, approaching the true Divine King body. He was close to achieving this when he parted ways with them.

Now, more than a hundred years have passed, and his divine blood should be even stronger. He should be able to pass through safely and arrive here.

Of course, if he is unlucky and encounters a powerful figure like the Beast God or is surrounded and killed by multiple geniuses, then it is indeed hard to say.

As time went by, both Changsheng and Mu Renqing began to feel pessimistic, but before they could completely lose hope, Xiao Ran's aura appeared.

However, while they were delighted, they were more concerned about the powerful auras surrounding them. The most powerful aura made both Changsheng and Mu Renqing feel a great threat.

They had only reached the final ancient road in the latter half of the journey, but unexpectedly, they encountered more than one such exceptional genius, which excited them all.

It is likely because the universe had a very long period of silence before, which is why many self-proclaimed geniuses remained in seclusion until this lifetime.

However, they now restrained their fighting spirit and paid more attention to that aura. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that this aura seemed somewhat similar to Xiao Ran's.

This is the aura of a god! Could it be someone from the divine race?
Just as Changsheng and Mu Renqing were feeling surprised, a group of people appeared on the horizon and headed towards this place.

Upon seeing Changsheng and Murenqing, Xiao Ran was initially delighted, but then filled with worry. He did not greet Changsheng and Murenqing, but instead secretly signaled to them not to bother with him.

However, being from the same Ziwei sect, Changsheng and Mu Renqing obviously couldn't ignore it, so they stepped forward together and said, "Brother Xiao, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

Xiao Ran forced a smile and said, "I'm fine. How are you all?"

Changsheng frowned and said, "Is this really good? I feel like something's not quite right. These friends from the divine race, may I ask how Brother Xiao has offended you?"

Although there was no tense atmosphere, Xiao Ran was still subtly surrounded, as if he were under house arrest.

The leader among these gods appears to be a Divine Blood Supreme, already evolving towards the Divine Emperor Body, only one final hurdle away from completion. This progress is clearly faster than Xiao Ran's, who has cultivated the Ancient Scripture of Divine Transformation; he is undoubtedly a formidable rival.

The other gods, however, each possess extraordinary divine bodies, already approaching the level of a God-King. Perhaps they took this step when they became Great Sages. Since the Ming Emperor created the Divine Stabilization Technique, the overall strength of the gods has increased significantly, and this is a testament to that. After all, this secret technique ensures that the divine bloodline of the gods is enhanced without affecting their lineage.

The Divine Blood Supreme and Divine King, which originally appeared only once every few decades, are now produced in every generation. The Divine King and Divine Blood Supreme, which originally appeared only once every few decades, can now basically evolve into Divine Emperor.

This god who is about to evolve into a god-emperor is clearly the original divine bloodline supreme being born in this generation.

Although Changsheng and Mu Renqing paid extra attention to him, they focused their main attention on another god whose aura was not obvious.

Although they didn't sense anything unusual, their intuition told them that he was the strongest among the gods. Xiao Ran's inability to escape was likely largely due to this person.

Although the Divine Blood Supreme appeared slightly stronger than Xiao Ran in terms of aura, it wasn't enough to prevent him from escaping. This god-race member, concealing his aura, was certainly not weaker than the Divine Blood Supreme, even if not stronger. Only then would Xiao Ran willingly surrender without resistance.

The Divine Blood Supreme said, "Family scandals should not be aired in public; this matter is not convenient to disclose."

Chang Sheng and Mu Renqing exchanged a glance, and Mu Renqing immediately said, "Brother Xiao comes from the same place as us in Ziwei, and we are as close as brothers. His affairs are naturally our affairs as well."

Xiao Ran couldn't help but say, "Brother Changsheng, Brother Mu, this matter is indeed difficult to discuss with you."

Chang Sheng and Mu Renqing were taken aback upon hearing this. It seemed that Xiao Ran and the God Clan did not have any life-or-death matters between them. Could it be that...
The mysterious deity said, "Xin Lang, since they are Xiao Ran's fellow townsmen and as close as brothers, then you should tell them."

Although reluctant, Xin Lang, the Divine Blood Supreme, still said, "Yes."

So he turned his head and said coldly, "This Brother Xiao just made a private engagement with my sister, but he turned around and tried to run away. That's why I asked the Divine Child to suppress him and take him back to marry my sister."

"If you two feel that we have done something wrong, you are welcome to come and discuss it with us."

Chang Sheng and Mu Renqing were speechless. They glared at Xiao Ran and said, "So that's how it is. Then it was indeed Brother Xiao's fault. We were presumptuous. If we have time, we will definitely attend Brother Xiao and your sister's wedding to apologize on his behalf."

Xiao Ran looked down at the ground, feeling utterly ashamed. He was alright with the others, but the fact that his old acquaintances from the same Ziwei Star knew about it made him feel incredibly embarrassed.

After all, if they know, it's basically the same as the Ziwei Star human race knowing.

Changsheng said, "May we have this Brother Xiao catch up with you? Friends of the Divine Race, please rest assured, we two will ensure that he does not escape."

Seeing the mysterious divine child nod slightly, Xin Lang gestured for the other gods to disperse and said, "Brother Xiao, please."

Xiao Ran felt as if he had been granted a pardon, but he was not happy at all. Instead, he looked rather mournful and ashamed to face anyone.

After creating some distance, Changsheng asked, "Who is that divine child?"

Xiao Ran said, "He is the son of Emperor Ming, Xin Lingxiao."
