Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 739 Ascension
After living a second life, Wanlonghuang's condition improved slightly. Originally, a second life gained through the elixir of immortality wouldn't offer much improvement, but due to Wanlonghuang's bloodline and the path he followed, the True Dragon Immortal Elixir's effects on him were further enhanced.

While there wasn't any significant improvement, during his transformation in the Dragon Transformation Pool, he successfully used the True Dragon Elixir to refine his bloodline, making his condition more complete and deepening his connection with the elixir, thus allowing him to better comprehend its mysteries and enhance his bloodline.

After that, the Dragon Emperor continued his cultivation as usual, studying the True Dragon Elixir to evolve his bloodline into that of a true dragon, while also dedicating himself to developing the Dragon Clan and making it stronger, so that he could leave with peace of mind.

And so time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another fourteen thousand years had passed.

During this period, the Wanlong Clan naturally flourished and became even more powerful, becoming one of the top royal clans in the universe. Even if the Wanlong Emperor left, they could basically rest assured.

Unless his descendants, like those of the Primordial Lake lineage, encounter the Great Perfection Holy Spirit causing trouble, they can basically prosper for a long time.

In his second life, he had an exceptionally talented daughter. This princess not only inherited his enhanced bloodline but also possessed extraordinary talent, surpassing all his other children.

With this daughter, the Wanlong royal family might have a chance to advance even further in the future. Of course, the talents of princes and princesses are often very impressive in the early and middle stages, and they also have a clear advantage in the later stages, but they may become less satisfactory in the very late stages.

There's no way around it. Standing on the shoulders of their parents, they can naturally walk faster and more steadily, but to go further, they still need to move forward step by step.

Compared to those cultivators who have to rely on themselves to learn and grow from the very beginning, those who start from a higher point will naturally find it harder to adapt.

Regardless of anything else, the princes possess top-tier talent in the human universe. Even if they don't attain enlightenment, they won't be lacking. With them around, even if the Wanlong Royal Family doesn't improve further, they can at least ensure that it won't decline drastically.

Emperor Wanlong took one last look at Wanlong Ancient Star before rising and leaving, heading towards the immortal gate he sensed.

Although his lifespan in his second life increased slightly due to cultivation, it was still no more than 17,000 years. Now that he was 14,000 years old, he had long passed his peak.

Theoretically, it would have been most suitable for him to leave about three thousand years earlier, since he was at the end of his peak period at that time. As long as he entered the strange world, he could continue to maintain his peak state by relying on the longevity substance. However, his current state will obviously have a certain impact on his future.

However, in order to help his people develop better and to learn more secrets from the True Dragon Elixir to strengthen himself, the Dragon Emperor delayed for several thousand years, only departing after achieving some success.

Amidst a near-imperceptible upheaval in the heavens and earth, the Dragon Emperor entered the Immortal Gate, departing from the mortal universe, thus ending his era.

Within the Boundless Immortal Mountain, Liang Yu naturally sensed this fluctuation, but he didn't pay it any mind. He had already shown the Myriad Dragon Emperor a great deal of care; how far the Emperor would go in the future depended entirely on his own destiny. Liang Yu had done more than enough.

Eighty to ninety thousand years have passed since the Taiyin Human Emperor transformed into a stone embryo. The form of the Holy Spirit within it has finally been initially formed. Therefore, he has maintained the appearance of this divine embryo and, under the protection of the Chaos Divine Seal, has begun to travel throughout the human universe to further improve his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, transforming into a more advanced Chaos Holy Spirit, accumulating for future evolution.

With the celestial artifact Chaos Divine Seal and the various methods previously left within it by the Taiyin Human Emperor, the Taiyin Human Emperor, though in a fragile state, was virtually impossible to disturb. However, just in case, Liang Yu still left a thought on the stone embryo that the Taiyin Human Emperor had transformed into. With this thought, even a multi-generational emperor would find it difficult to harm him in the slightest.

However, this transformation of the Taiyin Human Emperor will take a very long time, even with the accelerated formation of the Boundless Immortal Mountain. It's uncertain whether the Taiyin Human Emperor or the Undying Heavenly Emperor will live out their seventh incarnation first, but it will all be hundreds of thousands of years from now.

Therefore, Liang Yu only paid a little attention to it, and stopped paying attention after seeing that the Taiyin Emperor was on the right track.

As for the Sun Saint Emperor, he has now taken advantage of his status as an Earth Immortal to reassemble his shattered body, laws, Dao fruits, and even his true spirit. He is using the power of Mount Tai to nurture them, thus continuing the path of evolving the laws of chaos once again.

Clearly, he wanted to encompass the laws of chaos when he condensed his true form as an Earth Immortal, thus becoming stronger and accumulating power to explore the next stage of Earth Immortal cultivation.

The normal path forward for the Earth Immortals is, under normal circumstances, to continuously develop and strengthen the Earth Immortal Realm itself, just like the Longevity Celestial Venerable, the Underworld Emperor, the White Tiger Emperor, and the Black Tortoise Emperor, thereby allowing themselves to grow.

However, attempting to break free from the Immortal Realm and regain one's own freedom, using this method merely as a springboard to transform into a unique metamorphosis, naturally represents another direction.

However, so far, only the Sun Emperor has been trying this approach.

Besides these two human emperors, Emperor Yuan also caught Liang Yu's attention. This Emperor Yuan, who had peacefully passed away in the original timeline without causing any trouble, was able to discover such an extraordinary Nirvana method under the guidance of the Undying Emperor, which was quite surprising to Liang Yu.

However, at this point, he has basically reached his limit, and it will be difficult for him to transform further.

Of course, if the Emperor Yuan is willing, he can first rely on the Primordial Ancient Mine to become an Earth Immortal, and then explore with the Sun Saint Emperor the possibility of leaving the Earth Immortal Realm and embarking on other paths to immortality. Perhaps then he can achieve further advancement and greater success than he has so far.

After all, the Primordial Ancient Mine is of no use to him or the Primordial Empire now. If there really is an emperor who can do this, then it is making the best use of resources.

As for the Undying Emperor, his transformation and rebirth method this time is very perfect and is steadily progressing. Except when his physical body is shattered, there is no need to worry about him at other times.

Besides these people, there are a few other Earth Immortals in the human universe who are considered abnormal beings. However, the orthodox methods of Earth Immortal cultivation they practice are completely risk-free, relying entirely on the accumulation and evolution over a long period of time. Unless they reach a new stage, there is no need to pay attention to them.

However, judging from these people, Liang Yu's influence has begun to grow.
