Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 576 Guidance
Seeing that Changsheng readily agreed without the slightest fear, he couldn't help but say, "Have you thought this through? If the Holy Emperor doesn't approve of you, you might get lost in the Six Paths of the Treasure Wheel and find it difficult to escape."

Chang Sheng laughed and said, "I couldn't be happier to have the opportunity to pay my respects to the Immortal Saint Emperor."

Seeing Changsheng's resolute attitude, the True Profound God Lord said no more, though he still harbored some concerns, and of course, a hint of excitement. He was also full of anticipation for whether Changsheng could gain the approval of the Undying Holy Emperor.

If even he approves of immortality, then they, and even other major human powers, can almost blindly support Changsheng becoming the human emperor.

After all, the Undying Holy Emperor is different from other emperors. Since his birth at the end of the mythological era, he has always been an important guardian of the human race, and his reputation is universal. His descendants have always maintained this attitude, which makes his indestructible golden body a unique physique.

It can be said that if Changsheng can gain the approval of the Immortal Holy Emperor, it will prove that there is absolutely no problem with his character.

With the endorsement of the Immortal Holy Emperor, the position of the Human Emperor will be more secure and unshakeable.

Looking into Changsheng's bright, star-like eyes, Gu Tan couldn't help but feel a strong premonition that perhaps this promising young man was truly the right person to gain the approval of the Undying Holy Emperor.

The Undying Holy Emperor left his divine thoughts and fist intent within the Six Paths Treasure Wheel as a means of protection in critical moments, and also as a further step in his inheritance.

Over the years, only a few individuals who achieved the Great Perfection of the Undying Golden Body successfully entered the Six Paths World within the Six Paths Treasure Wheel and obtained a portion of the Undying Holy Emperor's inheritance, but none of them were fully recognized.

Although Changsheng is not a member of the Undying Golden Body lineage, the Undying Holy Emperor does not have such strong sectarian prejudices. He does not leave his inheritance to others simply because his Dao and Dharma are basically only suitable for the Undying Golden Body, and it would be difficult for others to gain any insights from them.

Judging from Changsheng's consistent performance, even if the Undying Holy Emperor does not pass on his legacy to him, he should at least test his character and give him some guidance. This would be enough to verify whether Changsheng is qualified to become a true human emperor.

Without hesitation, Gu Tan summoned the Six Paths Treasure Wheel, which displayed a portal at the center, connecting the six realms within.

Changsheng immediately stepped inside and vanished without a trace.

The moment he stepped into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Changsheng experienced an extremely strange feeling. He felt as if he had experienced countless lives, yet it also seemed as if he had only witnessed the operation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. It seemed to be just a moment, yet it also seemed to be the cycle of thousands of lifetimes.

Looking at the Six Paths World, which was no longer changing, Changsheng said, "This junior pays respects to the Holy Emperor Senior."

A somewhat ethereal golden figure quietly appeared; it was the divine thought avatar left behind by the Undying Holy Emperor.

He said, "I already know why you came here, and I know your ambitions. What you will be able to do in the future may be far more than what I am capable of."

The instant Changsheng entered the Six Paths Treasure Wheel, the divine incarnation of the Undying Holy Emperor used the true meaning of the Six Paths of Reincarnation within the Six Paths Treasure Wheel and the profound mysteries of the word "previous" obtained from the Heavenly Venerable of Nirvana to deduce Changsheng's past and future.

All he could do was leave behind his legacy and descendants, ensuring they always upheld the guardianship of humanity, even setting aside past grievances to protect all living beings in the face of annihilation. But what Changsheng wanted to do was to rebuild a more united, stronger, and more vibrant human race.

The Taiyin Mother Scripture, which is being continuously advanced and has achieved considerable results, is something he cannot do.

Therefore, the Undying Holy Emperor was very satisfied with Changsheng. Moreover, Changsheng was suspected to be an important seed chosen by the Limitless Heavenly Venerable, which made the Undying Holy Emperor, who was half a successor of the Limitless Heavenly Venerable, feel even closer to him.

Upon hearing this, Changsheng said, "This junior is merely standing on the shoulders of giants, doing what I can. Since senior already knows my purpose, may I ask for your guidance?" The Undying Holy Emperor said, "My methods may not be of much help to you, perhaps only serving as a reference. However, some of my experience may be useful to you."

Having said that, the Undying Holy Emperor passed on his scriptures and supernatural powers, including the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist and the secret techniques for rebuilding the Undying Golden Body lineage, to Changsheng. Of course, the most crucial part was the last piece of information he passed on to Changsheng.

This information represents his experience in exploring how to develop the Indestructible Golden Body to its fullest potential. Although Changsheng's Yin Body differs significantly from the Indestructible Golden Body, this experience can still help Changsheng further develop his Yin Body.

This top-tier physique beneath the Chaotic Body still has much potential to be explored, and even with a lifespan reaching the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, it is not enough to fully develop it.

Upon receiving these inheritances, Changsheng immediately entered into enlightenment. Countless Taiyin energies were generated endlessly, naturally dissipating and evolving from his body, weaving into strands of Taiyin immortal light.

Furthermore, his five secret realms manifest five black full moons, constantly deducing the essence of the power of Yin and further perfecting its ancient scriptures and supernatural abilities.

After a long while, Changsheng stood up. His aura was even stronger, and he began to move towards becoming a Daoist at the peak of the quasi-ninth level.

He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."

The divine avatar of the Undying Holy Emperor then dissipated, leaving only one sentence: "Go, do what you must do. Perhaps we will have a chance to meet again in the future."

In a flash, Changsheng reappeared in the outside world. The Six Paths Treasure Wheel emitted a faint golden light and hovered behind Changsheng's head, establishing a close connection with his aura.

Although Changsheng only disappeared for a moment, it was clear that the divine sense of the Undying Holy Emperor had already recognized Changsheng, and the Six Paths Treasure Wheel had also granted Changsheng extremely high control. This control was something that even Gu Tan, the sect leader of the Undying Golden Body lineage, could not shake.

In other words, if Changsheng were willing, he could even take the Six Paths Treasure Wheel away, leaving the Undying Golden Body lineage helpless.

Changsheng's blood and qi surged, as if he had transformed into an invincible war god. He made the starting stance of a fist technique, and endless divine light evolved into the true meaning of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which shone brightly with the Six Paths Treasure Wheel.

Clearly, this is the true transmission of the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist. Even the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist mastered by Gu Tan is not as authentic as the one performed by Chang Sheng.

After all, what he learned was the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist passed down from the Undying Golden Body lineage, while the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist of Immortality was directly taught its true meaning by the Undying Holy Emperor.

This kind of fierce and domineering fist technique can only be mastered by cultivators with extremely strong physique and blood energy; it doesn't necessarily require an indestructible golden body. For example, the old madman of later generations was also able to cultivate this fist technique to a very high level.

Changsheng's Yin constitution wasn't actually that compatible. But thanks to his exceptional comprehension, Changsheng quickly grasped the true essence of this fist technique.

The reason he used this move was to show that he had gained the approval of the Undying Holy Emperor and had not used any tricks.

Seeing this, Gu Tan felt no regret or jealousy, but instead said with great joy, "The Undying Golden Body lineage pays respects to the Human Emperor!"
