Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 561 Initial Formation
In cultivation, the later the stage, the more pronounced the difference in talent becomes. Before reaching the Dao-Slaying realm, the difference in talent is relatively small. Even a high-level Quasi-Emperor's potential to attain Dao is not significantly different from that of a true young emperor.

However, starting from the Great Saint Realm, this gap becomes quite significant, until reaching the Quasi-Emperor level, which creates another stratification. Therefore, on the ultimate ancient path, the geniuses at the Great Saint Realm will continue to widen the gap, eventually leading to a stratification.

At this moment, Changsheng and the others had reached the fifth level of the ultimate ancient road. In order to go further and better break through to the Quasi-Emperor realm, they slowed down and began to concentrate on breaking through the level.

In previous clashes, Changsheng and Mu Renqing had both killed several ancient clan Great Saints, earning great fame and becoming the hope of the human race. However, this also made them targets of even more ancient clan Great Saints.

Fortunately, their strength was indeed outstanding. Therefore, even though they did not cooperate with each other and relied on themselves to deal with everything, they still stood firm and successfully instilled fear in others, becoming the most advanced group of geniuses.

In this process, the Beast God naturally became the leader upon whom these ancient races relied.

Changsheng clashed with the Beast God several times over the matter of Xueming, but the outcome remained undecided. However, several of their followers died at the hands of their opponents or their followers.

Because there were so many ancient races targeting the human race, they naturally banded together after feeling threatened, to prevent Changsheng and Mu Renqing from growing stronger and then eliminating them. Therefore, the Beast God became the largest force on the ultimate ancient road.

After all, he was not only a young ancient emperor, but also had great conflicts with Changsheng and other members of the human race.

As a result, the hatred between them deepened and soon reached an irreconcilable point.

As for the others who were less involved, they were naturally focused on their own development, devoting all their efforts to cultivation in order to catch up with Changsheng and the others. After all, becoming a Quasi-Emperor was not so easy, and perhaps they still had time to narrow the gap.

But to their surprise, the barrier of a quasi-emperor was not enough to stop these outstanding geniuses who could stand out even in the Great Age.

In less than twenty years, one after another, some of these twenty or thirty outstanding talents began to break through and become quasi-emperors.

Although this barrier did indeed stop some people, more than ten people still broke through to become quasi-emperors, and Changsheng and Mu Renqing were still among them.

Clearly, this is also a stratification, which has blocked many high-level quasi-royal talents and those with the potential to prove their Dao but with low probability of success at the peak of the Great Sage stage, preventing them from breaking through quickly.

But those in the lead could no longer wait for those who had fallen behind, so the pace that had slowed down began to accelerate again, entering a more intense competition.

However, in this round of competition, the conflicts and hatred between those races began to fade, and personal cultivation became the only core. Therefore, whether it was the immortals, the beast gods, or even those ancient races, they all ceased their efforts and focused more on their own cultivation.

After all, the opportunities in the later levels of the Ultimate Ancient Road are extraordinary, and it's not easy to find the same resources elsewhere in the universe.

Faced with such a rare opportunity, they must try their best to digest and absorb as many opportunities as possible to help themselves achieve greater success.

Compared to their ultimate pursuit, these minor grudges were naturally not so important and could be put aside for later. It was precisely for this reason that, upon becoming the future empress, Changsheng once again rekindled his idea of ​​creating a mother scripture suitable for the human race. Previously, due to its extreme difficulty, he could only focus his main efforts on creating a scripture applicable to himself and the Taiyin body.

Later, during the time he embarked on the ultimate ancient path, he needed to fight intensely against other ancient cultivators, and he no longer had enough time and energy to attend to this part.

Now that he has achieved a higher level of immortality than before, and has also broken free from the intense competition of the past, he has had a lot of time to comprehend the Dao and cultivate. Therefore, he can naturally begin to try to create a mother scripture that is suitable for the human race, based on the power of Taiyin and the mortal body of the human race, and can also be used as a foundation to derive more ancient scriptures and Dao methods.

The interplay of Yin and Yang constitutes the Dao, and the power of Taiyin is one of the most primal, fundamental, and powerful forces. Using it as a fundamental principle to enhance the overall strength of humanity is a feasible approach.

The Supreme Celestial Venerable of the mythical era once walked a path called the Path of Ten Thousand Laws Connecting Heaven, which aimed to exhaust all human changes and encompass all laws. The Secret of Fighting Words originated from this path.

Later, the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji relied on the forces of Yin and Yang to gather all the complex and all-encompassing laws into one, unifying them and naturally generating all laws through the principles of Yin and Yang, thus reaching a higher level. Even the legendary Yin-Yang Dao Scripture and Yin-Yang Dao Body exist because of the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji.

The reason why Changsheng had this idea was twofold: first, he himself was of the Yin nature and was extremely compatible with the Yin way; second, the later Dao fruit of Wuji Tianzun fully demonstrated that the Yin-Yang way is the foundation of all laws and paths.

Therefore, he used the power of Taiyin as the core to create a mother scripture belonging to the human race.

Of course, from this perspective, if someone could create a similar mother scripture with the power of the sun as its core, allowing the human race to possess both Yin and Yang scriptures, the effect might be even better.

However, immortality leaves no time for anything else but to be accomplished by future generations.

During his trials on the ultimate ancient path, Changsheng acquired many secret techniques and scriptures, which served as references for his two ancient scriptures and his own methods, allowing him to continuously improve them and greatly accelerating his progress.

However, the most unexpected thing was that Changsheng obtained the secret technique that the former Yuanshi Tianzun had cultivated to the extreme, which allowed him to cultivate the five great secret realms, as well as his primordial spirit and physical body.

Changsheng used this secret technique to rebuild his five major secret realms, physical body, and primordial spirit, thereby further enhancing his five major secret realms, primordial spirit, and physical body.

During this process, even his Yin Body unleashed unprecedented Yin Power, deepening its foundation. From this change, Changsheng began to delve deeper into the essence of the Yin Body, vaguely grasping the secrets unique to it.

This process not only advanced his own understanding of Tao and Dharma, but also accelerated his progress in creating new methods for the Mother Scripture.

After all, whether it is his own path or the path he wants to open up for the human race, it is based on the absolute core of the power of Taiyin. The Taiyin body is born with powerful Taiyin power and the Taiyin laws are imprinted in its origin. Therefore, his deep mastery of the Taiyin body will naturally bring him mastery of the power of Taiyin, thereby promoting the perfection of his path and laws.

From then on, his path to immortality reached a new level, achieving initial success, and his invincible path was nearly complete.
