Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 571 Leaving Ziwei
Under the influence of the Yin energy, the body of the Jin Hua Quasi-Emperor quickly turned into clumps of lifeless flesh, which vanished with the wind.

Even his last intact head began to disintegrate under this terrifying Yin power, along with his primordial spirit.

Reaching this point is quite an achievement for Jin Hua, but he is still powerless against a true young emperor like Chang Sheng.

Changsheng activated the black seal, completely obliterating the Jin Hua Quasi-Emperor and restoring peace to the cosmic sky near Ziwei Star.

The scale of this battle successfully alarmed cultivators of various races in several star fields near Ziwei Star. Several quasi-emperors secretly came to investigate, and they were all terrified after witnessing Changsheng kill Jinhua Quasi-Emperor.

With a large black seal hanging above his head, Changsheng turned to look at the quasi-emperors who were spying on this place. His sharp gaze immediately made them tremble and feel a chill run through their bodies. Even from across the vast starry sky, they could feel the bone-chilling power of the Yin energy.

So these potential emperors all tried to curry favor with Changsheng, and then left as quickly as possible.

After finally eliminating the scourge that had plagued Ziwei Star for thousands of years, Changsheng did not feel happy; instead, his heart became incredibly heavy.

Changsheng passed through the protective array and returned to Ziwei Star. Looking at the vast area that had been occupied by the ancient race, now completely turned into scorched earth devoid of life and spirit, and feeling the soaring resentment and malevolent energy within, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

Xie Yurou said, "The Purple Star has finally returned to peace, but you don't seem happy."

Chang Sheng sighed, "This is a war of life and death, where people and clans are often wiped out, leaving vast stretches of land desolate. If our human race is to rise, we will likely have to face countless more brutal wars like this in the future."

Xie Yurou said, "Then what are you going to do? Rely on the protective array to defend Ziwei?"

Changsheng said, "No, since I am going to become the Human Emperor and lead the human race to rise again, I will never back down. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Those who cannot bear such bloodshed and karma cannot become the true Human Emperor."

Changsheng has always been a relatively peaceful person, even one could say he is kind-hearted. Even when faced with the tragedy of his parents being killed, he did not go to extremes. Instead, he fell into confusion after killing his direct enemy with his own hands.

But his experiences over the years have taught him that there is no room for mercy in inter-racial wars.

This time, it was the Jin Hua Quasi-Emperor who was driven to the brink of despair who helped him complete the extermination of the Ziwei Star Ancient Clan, but in the future, he will inevitably have to face such a situation himself.

After clearing his complicated thoughts, Changsheng regained his resolve. Whatever the myriad causes and effects of the future, he could neutralize them all with the supreme power of the imperial way.

Upon witnessing such a tragic scene, the Holy Lord of Lingguan and the allied forces composed of other major human powers were also shocked. The dense and irresolvable evil energy and resentment had turned this once prosperous part of Ziwei Star into a living hell.

If this continues, this area will likely become a dangerous place where all sorts of monsters constantly breed.

It would probably take an immense amount of time and effort to restore these areas to a state where people can live and reside normally.

Upon seeing Changsheng's return, the Holy Master of Lingguan couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

Chang Sheng said, "The Quasi-Emperor of Jinhua sacrificed all of them with his blood, wanting to have a final battle with me."

Changsheng returned, and in excellent condition, so the outcome was clear. Therefore, the Holy Master of Lingguan did not ask any further questions, but instead said, "Then what should be done with this region?"

Changsheng said, "I have a scripture that can dispel the resentment here. As for what happens after that, we can only take it one step at a time."

The Holy Master of Lingguan said, "Could it be the Scripture of Salvation created by the Celestial Venerable Lingbao in the mythological era?"

Changsheng said, "That's right." Then, Changsheng began to recite the Scripture of Salvation, and the cultivators from the various human forces also followed him in reciting the Scripture.

Under the vast, rolling Daoist chants, the malevolent energy in this place was continuously weakened and purified, and this land gradually began to recover its vitality.

Of course, Changsheng only taught them the Scripture of Salvation before leaving. With a great battle imminent, he needed to break through as soon as possible and gain greater strength.

After all, there are no more hidden dangers on Ziwei Star now. Changsheng should go into seclusion to digest the results of this period of time before leaving Ziwei Star to embark on an expedition to other star fields, help the human race in other star fields escape danger, and unite the human race again.

This is also an essential stage on the path to becoming the Human Emperor.

Time flies, and fifty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Changsheng has successfully broken through to the sixth level of Quasi-Emperor, and is approaching the seventh level. In these fifty years, apart from Xiao Ran, the other geniuses who came from Ziwei Star have successfully returned, greatly increasing the strength of Ziwei Star.

Of course, the Ziwei Star region, which was almost destroyed, was also restored to life under the joint efforts of the major human forces and became a habitable place again.

With the migration of various human factions, that region gradually began to become a peaceful and prosperous home for humans once again.

Moreover, during this period, not only Changsheng, but also the high-level cultivators of Ziwei Star sensed that the damaged spiritual energy in this region was actually recovering, and that it was about to regenerate the earth veins and various auspicious lands, restoring the past glory.

The power that enabled this region to recover actually came from the Purple Star Guardian Array. This array not only concealed and protected the Purple Star, but could even slowly repair the damage inside the Purple Star; it was truly ingenious.

On this day, Changsheng rose from beneath the laurel tree, preparing to leave Ziwei Star and travel to other star regions. Although he no longer possessed absolute power that made him invincible, there were indeed few in this mortal universe who could rival him.

Even ordinary Quasi-Emperor level eight cultivators might not be his match, and cultivators at the Quasi-Emperor level nine and above are extremely rare in the current universe. Therefore, Changsheng's strength can still have a significant impact on the human universe.

Moreover, Changsheng is one of the most promising candidates to attain enlightenment in this generation. His talent and potential are incomparable to those old quasi-emperors who have reached the limit of their progress.

Therefore, Changsheng's journey was aimed at gaining recognition from the human races of other star systems, laying the foundation for his path to becoming the Human Emperor. Of course, it was also for his own cultivation.

He intends to use this process to fight against powerful figures from various races and eras, constantly accumulating his own cultivation and progressing until he finally succeeds in attaining enlightenment.

However, this time, he was not the only one who set off.

Those prodigies who returned from the ultimate ancient road had become formidable quasi-emperors, and naturally they also wanted to contribute their strength. Among them, Mo Tian was a quasi-emperor at the fourth level, and the other two were quasi-emperors at the second level. The three of them traveling together could take care of each other.

Although Mu Renqing was slower than Changsheng, he had recently reached the sixth level of Quasi-Emperor, which was enough for him to protect himself on his own.

Meanwhile, Lingguan Saint Master Yun Xian had already reached the fifth level of Quasi-Emperor. He temporarily handed over the position of Lingguan Saint Master to several other Great Saints to act in his stead, and then left Ziwei Star for the first time, stepping into the starry sky.

Yun Xian, the Holy Master of Lingguan who had never experienced the starry sky before, also hoped to use this process to further his own development.

The final choice was naturally Xie Yurou. Xie Yurou was close to the fifth level of Quasi-Emperor, and traveling with Changsheng would not only not be a hindrance, but would also be of great help.

After they left, Ziwei Star was protected by a powerful array, making it virtually impregnable. Therefore, guided by Changsheng, they departed Ziwei Star.
