Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 710 Holy Emperor of the Sun
The third-generation Sun Emperor only achieved the ultimate balance of Yin and Yang, and was still some distance from achieving complete harmony between Yin and Yang. Therefore, in his last few thousand years, he did not attempt to study the harmony between Yin and Yang, but instead focused on the accumulation and transformation of immortal essence.

However, during this process, the Sun Emperor discovered that the two opposing forces within his body, Yin and Yang, could only exist stably without causing problems when he neutralized them using the Taishan Law.

However, during his transformation, he needs to concentrate a lot of energy on himself, which makes it difficult for him to perfectly control the Yin and Yang forces. As a result, there is a risk that the Yin and Yang forces will get out of control, which may cause his transformation to fail.

Although with the Sun Emperor's current abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for him to use the Emperor's Seal and the power of Mount Tai to ensure that this situation wouldn't happen, this risk instead became the inspiration for the Moon Emperor, leading him to explore entirely new solutions.

Thus, he gained new insights from the ancient books he had acquired and the various transformation methods from the Primordial Heavenly Venerable that the Taiyin Human Emperor had given him.

When Yuanshi Tianzun underwent his transformation, he used the method of Dao Fruit fusion, which means separating his Dao Fruit to form an independent avatar. The main body and the avatar cultivated separately, and eventually merged into one, thus giving rise to a completely new change.

For the Sun Emperor, who possesses both the laws of the Sun and the laws of the Moon, this method is clearly useful.

If he cultivates both Yin and Yang bodies, progressing independently and deducing from different directions, he might be able to greatly accelerate his progress towards achieving Yin-Yang harmony.

Moreover, once the power of Yin and Yang is perfected, he can directly merge his two bodies into one, thus greatly saving himself the process of Yin and Yang merging.

Therefore, the Sun Emperor used this as a foundation to begin exploring the method of cultivating the dual body of Yin and Yang, and finally found the direction over the past four thousand years.

In the process of his deduced transformation, the Sun Emperor would deliberately transform the immortal essence he had nurtured into an immortal embryo and gradually separate it from his body, while maintaining a close connection.

Subsequently, he further divided and integrated the Taiyin Law he derived into it, and with the help of the power of the Taihuang Scripture, he guided the Taishan Origin Law to allow this immortal embryo to gradually grow, and eventually form a Taiyin body.

At this point, his true form consisted only of the laws of the sun and Mount Tai, but he was already in his twilight years, almost exhausted.

After the immortal essence was separated, his original body could no longer successfully transform. Therefore, he still needed the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill to help his sun body live out the next life.

Therefore, during his late-life transformation, he incorporated the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill into the immortal essence he had nurtured, and divided it to create a dual body of yin and yang.

The Sun Emperor felt his two bodies, and his previous expectations had been successfully achieved. The next step was to have these two bodies study how to achieve harmony between Yin and Yang from both the perspectives of the Sun and the Moon.

Of course, he himself cultivates the laws of the sun and possesses the body of the sun, so he naturally takes his own sun body as the main body and the moon body as the auxiliary body.

When the Taiyin Emperor lived out his fourth life, he had already achieved the balance of Yin and Yang, but he was still far from that point. Therefore, the Taiyang Emperor also felt a strong sense of urgency.

After all, judging from the cultivation process of the Taiyin Emperor, achieving complete perfection in the balance of Yin and Yang and generating chaos is an extremely difficult task. The Taiyin Emperor has spent most of his cultivation time on this path so far. The reason why the Taiyang Emperor developed this Yin-Yang dual body is that he hopes it will bring greater progress when his two bodies merge in the future, allowing him to achieve greater results and catch up with his predecessor, the Taiyin Emperor.

After all, this method is based on the Dao Fruit Fusion Method of the Primordial Celestial Venerable. When two bodies of the same origin but cultivating different laws are united, they can achieve a result greater than the sum of their parts, thus breaking through shackles and making rapid progress. Even if it doesn't allow for a shortcut to success, narrowing the gap and saving time is still good.

So the Sun Emperor began to divide the work, using his Yin-Yang dual bodies, the Fusang Divine Tree and the Laurel Divine Tree as the four key points of the formation, and his stone tower as the core, to draw upon the power of Mount Tai's origin so that his Yin-Yang dual bodies and the two divine trees could establish a closer connection with the laws of Mount Tai, thereby better comprehending the way of Yin-Yang harmony.

With the Yin-Yang Harmony Method of the Taiyin Emperor and the Yin-Yang Two-Form Method of the Wuji Heavenly Venerable, the Taiyang Emperor, although he himself has not yet achieved this, has a very deep understanding of the Yin-Yang Way, so he can leave behind this formation.

Meanwhile, in the human universe, the phenomenon that the Great Dao aura of the Sun Emperor successfully separated from the Heavenly Heart Mark and gradually began to dissipate was also noticed by cultivators of all races.

This Sun Emperor and the Moon Emperor were exactly the same, both having existed for 60,000 years, and disappeared from the human universe in the later years of their third life. This is indeed a great coincidence.

However, cultivators in the human universe were unaware that a Dao-proving being could peel off the Heavenly Heart Mark when they became powerful enough, without affecting themselves at all. Therefore, they could only guess that the Sun Emperor, like the Moon Emperor, ascended to heaven and left the human world in his later years.

The appearance of the Sun Emperor allowed the human race, which had been declining from its peak, to stop its downward spiral and rise against the tide, creating a glorious new era. His existence had a tremendous impact on the human race and even on all races in the universe.

Now that he has passed away, the title should naturally change.

During the era of the Taiyin Human Emperor, the term "Human Emperor" could refer solely to the Taiyin Human Emperor. However, after the Taiyin Human Emperor passed away, the human race hoped to uphold his ideals and allow a new Human Emperor to emerge. Thus, the prefix "Taiyin" officially became the mainstream term.

Since the title of Human Emperor originated from him, his name was definitively established, and he became known as the Taiyin Human Emperor.

But now, while the Sun Emperor was alive, they only needed to address him as the Emperor, or with the prefix "Sun." Now that he is gone, his title should also change. Considering that he once bestowed the name "Holy Race" upon the Undying Golden Body lineage, and the title of the Undying Golden Body lineage's ancestor was the Undying Holy Emperor, the Sun Emperor is also given the title of Holy Emperor.

Thus, the title of Sun Emperor was born and became the common title for cultivators in later generations.

After the Sun Emperor disappeared, the human race stabilized again and began to further consolidate the achievements made in previous development, making their position more secure.

The other races, of course, felt a great sense of relief. Having such an invincible emperor looming over them, even though he never launched an attack on any of the races, still instilled fear in them.

The disappearance of the Sun Emperor marks the end of an era and the beginning of a new one.
