Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 747 Accident
Having successfully achieved the tenth transformation of the Divine Silkworm, the Divine Emperor has gained an unprecedented and terrifying improvement in physique, bloodline, and origin. He can now say that he is no weaker than any other physique or bloodline that has proven the Dao, and he has already stood at the peak of the Dao-proving beings. Even the legendary Chaos Body that has proven the Dao is something he is confident he can suppress.

After all, after the ultimate leap, the God Emperor reached a level comparable to the Undying Emperor who had just attained enlightenment. In other words, after countless trials, he finally succeeded in reaching the threshold of the Heavenly Emperor level during the ultimate leap.

Although there are differences even among those at the Heavenly Emperor level, Ye Fan and the Second Emperor of the original timeline are examples of this, and they are clearly above the standard line. However, being able to cross this threshold means that the starting point of a God Emperor in the Emperor realm is already at the highest level, making it easier to explore the path to the future.

Liang Yu had previously summarized that the simplest way to achieve such success in the first life is to first possess a physique at the Chaos level, and then have talent and aptitude far exceeding that of ordinary Dao Provers, so that one can obtain a Dao Fruit that is more powerful than that of a Dao Prover. With the combination of these two factors, success is possible.

The God Emperor clearly met all these conditions. When he reached the Nine Transformations, he was already infinitely close to the level of the Chaos Body. Now that he has achieved the Ten Transformations, it goes without saying that his Dao Fruit is also beyond question.

Moreover, the God Emperor's breakthrough has raised the overall ceiling of their Divine Silkworm lineage by a whole level, and may give rise to a more complete evolutionary path that can be used in new fields. This breakthrough is far beyond imagination.

In the original timeline, when the God Emperor first attained enlightenment, his Ten Transformations were not as perfect or powerful. However, due to the direct and indirect influence of Liang Yu, the difficulty of the God Emperor's enlightenment has increased significantly. Therefore, he completed the Ten Transformations before attaining enlightenment, which is why his cultivation progress is faster than in the original timeline.

While this achievement may seem incredible in the human universe, it is not surprising that he could do these things considering his future.

After all, in the long years that followed, he continuously developed the methods of his lineage and reached a point where he had the potential to become an Immortal Emperor.

In other words, the God-Emperor possesses genuine imperial potential, albeit in the realm of immortality. A God-Emperor with such potential in the future will naturally be able to accomplish things in the realm of humanity that most emperors wouldn't even dare to dream of.

The God Emperor recalled the aura emanating from the Undying Heavenly Blade he had encountered in the past, and still felt a sense of pressure.

Although he has now reached a starting point comparable to the Undying Emperor in the realm of imperial cultivation, the latter has cultivated for nearly a million years longer than him and has already made great strides on the path of immortality in the mortal world. Therefore, he is still far from being good enough.

Previously, the Undying Heavenly Blade had invited him to meet the Undying Heavenly Emperor at the Primordial Ancient Mine after he attained enlightenment. However, at this time, he was far inferior to that Heavenly Emperor, so the God Emperor did not want to face him now, lest he be controlled by someone else.

He secretly decided that he would only go to the Primordial Ancient Mine when he was much stronger and could hardly see the road ahead.

By then, although he may still not have caught up with the Immortal Emperor, he will at least do his best to realize all his accumulated power and become even stronger than he is now, thus gaining more confidence.

Even if you meet it in that state, there is a high probability that you can enhance yourself, gain inspiration, and explore the possibility of future evolutionary directions.

The God Emperor had no ambition for the human world or the universe, and he always advocated the idea of ​​all races coexisting and living in peace. Therefore, the era of the God Emperor was destined to be a peaceful era.

However, the God Emperor still cared deeply about his own race. Although the Divine Silkworm Clan had few members, he was determined to repay the other Silkworm Clan members who had wholeheartedly supported his rise to power.

Thus, the God Emperor traversed the starry sky directly, heading towards the Ancient Star of the Divine Silkworm. The God Emperor's attainment of enlightenment was a momentous event with far-reaching influence for cultivators in other star regions, and it was equally significant for his people.

But when the God Emperor descended, these silkworm clansmen showed no excitement; instead, they all looked anxious.

The other divine silkworm besides the two brothers was the current chief of the silkworm clan. Upon seeing the God Emperor, he immediately said, "Something terrible has happened."

Before he could speak, the God Emperor had already sensed the reason for the matter, so he said, "No need to worry, I already know about my brother's situation, he is fine."

From their attitude, the God Emperor deduced that something serious must have happened. So he used his divine sense to observe the anomaly on the ancient star and discovered that his younger brother had fallen into a deep silence, almost completely devoid of life, and was utterly dead.

In fact, in the eyes of most cultivators, he was no different from being dead; only the Divine Silkworm lineage could sense the last glimmer of life within him.

But the God-Emperor could see that his younger brother was undergoing a miraculous transformation. However, his current state was certainly not normal.

Seeing the God Emperor so calm, the Silkworm Clan Chief was immediately relieved and told him everything that had happened.

Five hundred years ago, when the Divine Emperor defeated the Heavenly Emperor's son and became truly invincible, his younger brother activated the Ninth Transformation of the Divine Silkworm and launched an attack on becoming a Quasi-Emperor.

Reaching this point in seven hundred years is clearly much slower than that of the God Emperor. However, this is not entirely due to his talent, but also to his deliberate and steady cultivation, ensuring a solid foundation.

Although they are brothers and both are special divine silkworms, the God Emperor's talent and bloodline are indeed superior to his. This life is most likely to belong to the God Emperor, so he can only do his best to cultivate and wait for the future. Therefore, he can naturally slow down to do each step to the extreme and fully absorb all the information about the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm that the God Emperor has explored.

Therefore, during this process, his understanding of the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm deepened, causing subtle evolutions to occur within him.

Just as he was about to attempt his ninth transformation, an unexpected event occurred. After entering seclusion in the Divine Silkworm Ridge, he disappeared without a trace, vanishing for hundreds of years.

Although it is not uncommon for cultivators to go into seclusion for hundreds of years, the fact that he had not emerged from seclusion for such a long time made the Divine Silkworm and the other departments sense something was wrong. They then entered his seclusion place to investigate and discovered that not only was his life force about to be exhausted, but even his laws and origins were beginning to dissipate.

With the Nine-Miracle Elixir of Immortality in the hands of the Divine Emperor, they had no other way to save him, and rashly intervening might even worsen his condition. Therefore, they could only watch him continue to weaken. Such a thing happening so soon after the Divine Emperor's attainment of enlightenment was naturally enough to cause them great panic.

After hearing the details, the God Emperor said, "There is no need for you to panic. In some ways, this is a good thing."
