Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 770 Spirit Emperor
After the Ascension of the Source God, the human universe entered another period of recovery. As time passed, ten thousand years flew by once more, and a new era began.

Perhaps because the influence of the God Emperor era has gradually become less severe, this generation has returned to normal, and various special physiques and bloodlines have emerged, just like in previous great eras.

Although it is far from the era of the God Emperor, it is still comparable to the era in which most Dao Provers were born.

In this generation, some self-proclaimed geniuses have also chosen to emerge from the world.

After all, the aura of the God Emperor's Great Dao has been gone for tens of thousands of years. Although only one Origin God was in between, it was enough to make most of the afterglow of the God Emperor's era fade away.

In this era, attaining enlightenment can, to some extent, prevent one from becoming merely a background figure for the God Emperor and allow one to possess their own prestigious reputation.

Thus, a new era began, bringing new vitality to the human world and the universe.

On an ancient star in the universe, a stream of innate essence pierced through the sky, causing the world to lose its color and the earth to shake violently. This disturbance alarmed many cultivators on the ancient star, who came to investigate.

In the end, however, they found nothing. All they could see were shattered mountains and broken earth, but they could not find anything unusual. Even the secrets of this place were disturbed to some extent, making it difficult to deduce.

Is it the birth of some treasure, or the birth of the Holy Spirit?

Thinking of this, many cultivators withdrew from this place, not daring to come again, and even set up a restricted area to seal it off.

In the human universe, the Holy Spirit lineage has always had a rather poor reputation. After all, most Holy Spirits are naturally separated from all life in the human universe due to their origins, and it's already considered good enough that they can ignore life and not pay attention to it.

Furthermore, most of the Holy Spirit lineage are unable to reach the point of perfect gestation and are born prematurely due to various accidents, which makes them even more resentful.

Therefore, the times when the Holy Spirit appeared in the world were always filled with fear and trepidation.

The commotion here is so great, yet the details remain unknown. Perhaps it's the birth of a Holy Spirit. If they continue to search for treasure here, they might incur some great karmic consequences. Naturally, they would avoid it at all costs.

Their speculation was correct; a Holy Spirit did indeed appear during this upheaval. However, their current attitude was indeed somewhat excessive.

After all, this Holy Spirit was not a stone Holy Spirit who was perfected at birth, but a Holy Spirit who was formed from a primordial essence into human form. He did not possess such great power from birth, but had to start cultivating from scratch and gradually grow up.

This kind of holy spirit is essentially just someone with a powerful physique, giving them a clear advantage in cultivation.

However, such a Holy Spirit is indeed rare among the Holy Spirits that have appeared, so it is quite normal that they did not think of it.

After his birth, this Holy Spirit went into hiding and cultivated himself. Thanks to his naturally formed Holy Spirit body, he safely evaded the investigation of these cultivators and embarked on the path of cultivation.

As he continued to make progress, he gradually began to gain fame on this ancient star. However, due to his deliberate concealment, not many people knew about his origins.

When he first rose to prominence, he called himself the Spirit God, a title that quickly spread, making him a prominent figure on this ancient star. As time went by, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, eventually surpassing all his contemporaries on this ancient star and embarking on the ancient path of the stars.

During their journey along the ancient road, the spirits obtained many ancient scriptures, which they used to complete their own path, ultimately making them even more powerful.

Thanks to the power of the Holy Spirit's body and his extraordinary comprehension, the Spirit God advanced with invincible force. This momentum did not slow down on the ultimate ancient road. All the contemporary geniuses and the geniuses who had sealed themselves in the past to this life were defeated by him.

When he was three thousand years old, the Spirit God successfully attained enlightenment and became a rare Holy Spirit Emperor in this era and even in the past mythological era. Naturally, his title changed from Spirit God to Spirit Emperor.

After attaining enlightenment, the Spirit Emperor searched the universe for an elixir of immortality to prolong his life, and eventually he obtained the Vermilion Bird Elixir of Immortality.

The immortality elixirs still circulating in the mortal realm today are mostly protected by the supernatural powers of Liang Yu and other immortals, allowing future emperors to obtain them normally. Therefore, the Spirit Emperor naturally found this immortality elixir by "fortuitous chance".

Having found a way to live a second life, the Spirit Emperor was finally at ease and began to continue with his future plans.

The Spirit Emperor was born from innate essence, and ultimately he and the vast majority of the Holy Spirits in the human universe cannot be considered of the same race. Therefore, he had no intention of reviving the Holy Spirit race.

However, the Spirit Emperor still retained a sense of similarity with holy spirits like him who had taken human form from innate essence. Therefore, while searching for the elixir of immortality, he also used his own aura to target innate essences that also had the potential to take human form, hoping to be able to help them.

However, holy spirits like him are extremely rare. Therefore, even though the Spirit Emperor searched the entire universe, he only found two or three innate essences that had been nurtured in special terrains, and it was uncertain whether they could take human form. Among them, the strongest innate essence faintly resembled a dragon-horse and possessed the most spirituality. Perhaps this was the one most likely to successfully take human form.

The Spirit Emperor left his legacy in these places and set up array patterns to protect and promote its growth. After that, he stopped traveling around and began to continue his cultivation.

Time flew by, and twelve thousand years passed. The first incarnation of the Spirit Emperor reached his twilight years. But even with his extraordinary Holy Spirit body, he still had not yet found the way forward.

So he had no choice but to take the Vermilion Bird Elixir of Immortality and live a second life.

In the original timeline, after the Spirit Emperor severed himself, he sealed himself in the Divine Ruins. He once attacked Ye Fan, who had not yet attained enlightenment, with the sword formation of the Spirit Treasure Celestial Venerable, together with the Immortal Granny, the Corpse Emperor, and the Great Roc Emperor. Judging from his performance at that time, the Spirit Emperor's foundation was indeed quite profound. Even after sealing himself for many years, his condition was not bad, which is enough to show that the foundation of his Holy Spirit body was indeed extraordinary.

Now, the Spirit Emperor's growth has not changed much, but the Divine Ruins no longer exist, and he has the Immortal Gate as his path out, so there is naturally no need to commit suicide anymore.

He failed to discover the method of reversing life in his first life, and neither the Earth Immortal nor the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal was suitable for him. This means that the Spirit Emperor is ready to leave the human universe and ascend to a strange world.

The Emperor was overjoyed and filled with hope for the future.

And so, another five thousand years passed, and the second incarnation of the Spirit Emperor reached his peak. During this time, however, he was unable to discover the method of transformation, so he no longer remained in the mortal realm, but went directly to the Immortal Sect, leaving the mortal universe.
