Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 606 The Beginning of a Golden Age

The Taiyin Emperor watched the mysterious Daoist gradually dissipate, remembering his face and aura.

An ancient deity from the mythical era, who was perhaps even stronger than him now and had lived a life in reverse through his own efforts, died silently, witnessed only by him, the current emperor.

Although he knew some of the past of this mysterious ancient venerable, he knew nothing about what name he had, where he came from, or who his relatives and friends were. He didn't even know what title he used after he attained enlightenment.

This made the newly enlightened Taiyin Emperor feel melancholy.

His current conditions are much better than those of this ancient sage from the mythical era. Not only can he capture various methods of reversing life that his predecessors have explored between heaven and earth, but he also has a way out to ascend to another world through the immortal gate when he can no longer reverse life.

Therefore, even if he cannot live forever in the mortal world, he can still enter another world to explore the way to become an immortal.

But this mysterious ancient being still serves as a warning, allowing him to witness the difficulty of achieving immortality and becoming a celestial being.

The Taiyin Emperor cleared his mind of distractions and began to study the black gourd. He fused the seven gourds that had grown from the Seven-Colored Gourd Vine of Immortality over tens of millions of years into one, and the resulting black gourd was indeed made of extraordinary material.

Furthermore, this mysterious ancient venerable was already incredibly powerful. Therefore, even though he was completely dead, and the deity of this gourd was also dead, the Immortal-Slaying Gourd still possessed immense power, faintly surpassing that of ordinary supreme imperial weapons.

However, this was no longer of any significance to the Taiyin Emperor. He valued the Daoist techniques and supernatural powers contained within the Immortal-Slaying Gourd more, as it represented the Dao fruit of this mysterious ancient venerable.

But now is not the time to study these things. Having successfully attained enlightenment, he is now the true Human Emperor, and he still needs to take a series of measures to further enhance the cohesion of the human race.

The first step was to be formally crowned as the Human Emperor on Ziwei Star, and to jointly define the future situation with the various human races in the human universe.

The Taiyin Emperor put away the black gourd, taking only the Emperor's Seal, which he hung above his head. After he successfully attained enlightenment, this Emperor's Seal truly became an ultimate imperial weapon.

A vast ocean of faith seemed to gather in the void, continuously flowing into this great seal and causing it to evolve. Even without the Taiyin Human Emperor's dedicated refinement, it would continue to grow stronger.

During his tribulation, the Taiyin Emperor also refined the immortal gold he had previously collected into a new supreme imperial weapon, the Taiyin Divine Seal.

The Human Emperor Seal is a crucial artifact he uses for the inheritance of the human race, a treasure he will leave behind in the human world in the future, while the Taiyin Divine Seal will be his personal natal magic weapon that he will always use.

The Taiyin Emperor put away the Taiyin Divine Seal, leaving only the Emperor Seal above his head, and then returned to Ziwei Star.

This time, upon sensing the aura of the Taiyin Emperor, the entire human race on Ziwei Star shouted, "Long live the Emperor!"

The Taiyin Emperor felt the increasingly terrifying power of faith surging towards the Emperor Seal. He sensed that the Emperor Seal was beginning to carry an aura of immortality, and even a figure seemed to be faintly visible within it, as if its deity was about to transform into a real living being.

Now that the overall situation in the human universe has been settled, the various human factions, including the Undying Golden Body lineage and the Azure Heaven Overlord Body lineage, which are the two trusted forces of the Taiyin Human Emperor, have scattered throughout the universe, beginning to lead the human race in various places to recover lost territories and further establish themselves and develop.

Sending them directly to Ziwei Star prematurely might disrupt their work, so the Taiyin Emperor set his coronation ceremony for the human race five hundred years later. This served three purposes: first, to give them time to adjust; second, to allow him time to formally complete the Taiyin Mother Scripture, which he had been preparing; and third, to give back to his home planet, Ziwei Star.

Human forces across the universe learned of the birth of the Taiyin Emperor. Although they were excited, they still obeyed the Taiyin Emperor's decree and did not rush back. Instead, they wanted to complete the tasks they were responsible for in advance.

The Taiyin Emperor began his busy work on Ziwei Star. Thanks to his previous careful study of the secrets of the Lingguan Sacred Land Guardian Array and the Ziwei Star Guardian Array, he easily and cleverly nested his array patterns between the two arrays, making them more complete.

However, at this moment, he once again deeply experienced the terrifying power of the Supreme Heavenly Venerable Wuji. Even though he had attained the Dao and become an emperor, he still had not caught up with the Supreme Heavenly Venerable Wuji in his first life.

Speaking of the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji, after attaining enlightenment, he finally cleared away the fog of his memories and saw clearly the face of the mysterious person who had guided him and given him the elixir of immortality.

Just as he had guessed, his appearance was exactly the same as that of the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji. In other words, the person who had guided him back then was indeed the only Dao-proving being from Ziwei Star before, the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji.

After acquiring various knowledge about becoming an immortal and achieving longevity, the Taiyin Human Emperor vaguely guessed that this Wuji Heavenly Venerable must have embarked on the most difficult but also the strongest path to immortality in the mortal world, which is why he was able to live on for so long.

Although it is unknown whether he has succeeded, the Taiyin Human Emperor has also set his sights on becoming a mortal immortal.

However, that was a matter for the future, and he didn't know how he could see the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji again, so he put it out of his mind and focused on the transformation and construction of Ziwei Star.

While setting up the grand formation, the Taiyin Human Emperor was also constantly perfecting the Taiyin Mother Scripture he created, which was applicable to all humankind, and preaching it throughout the Ziwei Star.

And so, time flew by, and five hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. The Taiyin Emperor further transformed the Ziwei Star, making it even more prosperous and turning it into a sacred place for cultivation. It was during this time that he truly completed the Taiyin Mother Scripture.

His cultivation level also stabilized completely thanks to the characteristic of the harmony of all paths brought about by the Heavenly Heart Mark.

Thus, a grand gathering of the human race, one that had been held for countless years, took place on Ziwei Star.

This grand event is related to the future of humanity, so almost all human forces in the human universe have been represented. Even those human forces with extremely weak strength have had representatives specially invited by the Taiyin Human Emperor.

Of course, what surprised these human forces the most was that the gods had also participated in this conference, which was different from their previous joint resistance against the ancient races.

When fighting against the ancient races, they were not a unified force, but rather an alliance, with the gods favoring their allies. However, participating in this grand human event and presenting a gift to the Human Emperor meant truly integrating into the human race.

In particular, the fact that the leader of the Divine Race is Xin Lingxiao, the son of Emperor Ming, signifies the complete return of the Divine Race.

In Tianyuan City on Ziwei Star, cultivators from all regions of the human race took turns offering gifts to the Taiyin Human Emperor, expressing their submission and jointly venerating him as the common ruler of the human race. The Taiyin Human Emperor also disseminated the Taiyin Mother Scripture, hoping to enhance the overall strength of the human race through it.

From this point on, a golden age for humanity began.
