Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 737 Transferring to another major
The Sun Emperor's talent and potential have been almost completely exhausted by himself; reaching this point has already pushed him to his limit.

The Path to Immortality in the Mortal World is a comprehensive assessment of all the qualities of a seeker of enlightenment; the vast majority of those who seek enlightenment will never succeed, no matter how good their conditions are.

Even if they enter a strange world, where they will not need to worry about their lifespan for at least millions of years or even longer, they will still not touch the mortal immortals.

Because of their overall qualities, they are not capable of making further breakthroughs in the realm of humanity. Instead, they will be stuck at a limit and will not make much progress. Only by entering a larger world, such as the Immortal Realm, can they break through this limit by entering the realm of immortality.

Just like in the realm of mortal immortals, most mortal immortals are unable to reach the peak of the mortal immortal realm and have to advance to the Immortal King realm, otherwise they will not make any further progress, let alone reach the ultimate peak of immortality.

In the human universe, such limits still exist, but due to lifespan issues, the limits of most enlightened beings have been reduced by an unknown amount.

The Sun Emperor was in a similar situation. He had clearly explored his next step and had a chance of success, but he was unable to complete it due to his lifespan.

At the same time, he also saw his own limit: the unity of Yin and Yang. The path ahead would either require him to further sublimate his Chaotic Body or to transcend the realm of the Chaotic Body, neither of which was a goal he could achieve in a normal timeframe.

In other words, even if he enters a strange world and is no longer threatened by his lifespan, he will likely only be able to progress to the Chaos Body stage and will find it difficult to advance further. Even if he could continue to advance, it would require him to accumulate merit over countless years.

Becoming a Chaos True Immortal is already enough to put him at a very high starting point. Moreover, in the realm of True Immortals, he may well continue to break through his limits and eventually hone a Dao Fruit comparable to that of a Mortal Immortal.

Therefore, the Sun Emperor's decision was not actually wise.

But from the mortal immortals to all those who pursue the strongest path of cultivation, they must create possibilities from the impossible in order to reach the pinnacle. Therefore, the Sun Emperor would not be willing to be confined by his own limits, and he would try to break through them.

If he succeeds, he will have the opportunity to break through his limits and thus possess greater potential.

In fact, if the Sun Emperor hadn't created a Yin-Yang dual body and had continued to cultivate step by step, he would have faced this limit only after becoming a Chaos Body. However, because he split into two bodies, the difficulty of his transformation increased, which is why he ran out of time.

However, it is precisely because of this that the Sun Emperor has an opportunity—an opportunity to break through the limits of his potential by merging his two bodies. As long as he can merge his two bodies and use this process to evolve himself into a Chaos Body, he may be able to enhance his potential and have the opportunity to go even further.

After all, the fusion of his two bodies into chaos after entering the strange world was a step-by-step process, entirely within his capabilities. However, performing this step in the mortal realm when his lifespan was nearing its end and his preparations were incomplete was a matter of survival against all odds, a transcendence of himself. Therefore, although it was the same transformation, it had entirely different meanings.

The Sun Emperor took a deep breath, determined to begin his transformation and attempt to surpass his limits.

However, necessary precautions are still required before starting. He has already undergone several transformations by now, and if something goes wrong with the fusion of his two bodies, it could potentially cause harm.

But just as the Sun Emperor began to activate the array patterns, two figures quietly appeared in Mount Tai. They were Liang Yu and Yuanshi Tianzun.

They were well aware of the current situation of the Sun Emperor, so at this crucial moment, they still had to come and check on him.

Although the Sun Saint Emperor had never met these two Celestial Venerables before, he was very familiar with their appearances, so he immediately said, "This junior pays respects to the Limitless Celestial Venerable and the Primordial Celestial Venerable."

Liang Yu said, "Have you decided to undergo a transformation in this realm and take this risk? After becoming a True Immortal in the Immortal Realm, you can also reach a level comparable to a Mortal Immortal by constantly refining yourself. There's no need to force yourself to become a Mortal Immortal." The Sun Saint Emperor said, "The two Heavenly Venerables have done me a great favor, and I shouldn't refuse your kindness. But since I've seen my limits, I must try no matter what."

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Very well, since you are willing to take the gamble, we will naturally respect your decision."

The Sun Emperor said, "Thank you both, seniors."

With the two of them around, the Sun Emperor no longer paid attention to the outside world, but focused all his energy on his own transformation.

Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head and sighed softly, "Fellow Daoist Wuji, do you think he can succeed?"

Liang Yu said, "I'm afraid it's a bit risky. But he has other tricks up his sleeve, so even if he fails, he won't just die like that."

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Although it is risky to do this, I quite admire this spirit."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yu couldn't help but think to himself: Indeed, if it weren't for his interference, the Primordial Celestial Venerable, or rather the Emperor Venerable of the original timeline, would have even dared to taint the dark forces and wanted to challenge him.

It takes a lot of adventurous spirit to try something you know nothing about but that looks dangerous.

However, the Emperor in the original timeline was also grasping at straws in desperation. At that time, he had no concept of the Immortals of the Mortal World, and it was even difficult to find anyone in the world who could communicate with them. So naturally, he could only try to break through by relying on these powers that he did not understand.

Within Mount Tai, the two bodies of the Sun Emperor began to merge into one, and the two forces of Yin and Yang began to overlap, constantly evolving into more chaotic laws. Due to the similarity of the chaotic laws, the two chaotic forces began to merge continuously, showing a tendency to give birth to a divine embryo.

During this process, the power of Mount Tai's origin continuously flowed into his body to neutralize the constantly conflicting forces within him, thus stabilizing the situation.

However, as the laws of chaos continued to evolve, his power eventually began to go out of control and become uncontrollable. The chaotic divine embryo also began to disintegrate and could no longer maintain its form.

Although the Sun Emperor tried many times to reassemble this divine embryo, it disintegrated even faster each time it was reassembled.

After a century of this tug-of-war, the Sun Emperor could no longer sustain his transformation and exploded into a hazy blood mist mixed with the laws of Mount Tai, Yin and Yang, and Chaos.

Thus, the transformation of the Sun Emperor had already failed; he was merely not quite dead yet.

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Choosing to switch to cultivation instead of asking us for help to save yourself under these circumstances shows quite a bit of arrogance."

Liang Yu said, "That's precisely why he was able to get to this point."

It turned out that, in order to save himself, the Sun Emperor used his last bit of consciousness to activate his pre-prepared backup plan, thus transforming into an Earth Immortal at this critical juncture of life and death, successfully ensuring that he would survive even if the transformation failed.
