Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 775 Second Generation
Three thousand years after attaining enlightenment, the five-thousand-year-old Great Roc Emperor reached the peak of this life. He used the characteristic of the unity of all paths brought about by his combination with the Heavenly Heart Mark to further enhance his own Dao and Dharma, bringing his Dao and Dharma to a more perfect state, making it difficult to achieve any further improvement.

At this moment, the Great Roc Emperor was invincible in the world and could hardly find any opponents. Even unconventional methods of attaining enlightenment could not make him take it seriously.

During these three thousand years, the Great Roc Emperor also cultivated his mind and body and focused on his own cultivation, so he did not feel dissatisfied.

But now, the Great Roc Emperor can hardly see the future in the short term, so he is restless and begins to look for a new direction.

Alternatively, one should find a sufficiently powerful opponent to push oneself to the limit in battle and achieve further breakthroughs; or one should find a direction in which one can continue to improve upon that foundation.

Although the Great Roc Emperor had already learned the method of the Immortal in the Mortal World, the method of transformation was not so easy to explore, so the Great Roc Emperor had no clue what to do.

And the key to all this, he naturally pinned his hopes on the Ten Thousand Demon Cave.

After all, with his current cultivation level, he could naturally see that the inside of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave was the incarnation of the Powerful Emperor, existing in the form of a divine array. And this senior was undoubtedly very likely to be able to guide him.

So the Great Roc Emperor immediately stood up, and with a flap of his wings, the void trembled, the Milky Way swayed, and a golden stream of light disappeared into the depths of the universe in an instant, heading towards the ancient star Gouchen.

Thanks to the Tianpeng Speed, which underwent a tremendous evolution after combining two different Xingzi Secrets, he traversed this starry sky and arrived at the ancient star Gouchen in an extremely short time.

After all, the Great Roc Emperor had a marriage alliance with the Gouchen Demon Clan and had also received the inheritance and gifts from the Power Emperor. Therefore, even though he did not have any goodwill towards these demon clans, he still took care of them to a certain extent, allowing them to develop further, although not with the same level of support as the Great Roc Royal Family.

Although the Gouchen demon clan was disappointed, they were already quite satisfied. Afterwards, they did their best to establish a deeper cooperative relationship with the Great Roc royal family.

Therefore, even though the Great Roc Emperor rarely visited Gouchen Ancient Star, he still held an extremely high status and influence.

The arrival of the Great Roc Emperor undoubtedly made the Gouchen Demon Clan extremely concerned. They welcomed the Great Roc Emperor with the highest level of etiquette, making the scene and attitude the best they could be.

Even though the Great Roc Emperor had no interest in these formalities, he was still in a good mood and cooperated with them to organize a grand event, and gave guidance to many demon cultivators on their cultivation at the conference.

After the conference, the Great Roc Emperor entered the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.

Sensing his presence, the avatar of the Power Emperor naturally revealed himself. Facing an emperor, and one who was clearly extraordinary at that, there was no point in trying to hide.

Upon seeing him appear, the Great Roc Emperor immediately cupped his hands and said, "Senior Emperor Li, this junior greets you."

The avatar of the Power Emperor said, "Now that you have attained the Dao and become an Emperor, even if my true form came, I would only be your peer. I dare not accept the title of senior."

The Great Roc Emperor said, "In that case, I shall address you as fellow Daoist."

The avatar of the Power Emperor said, "Very well. May I ask what brings Fellow Daoist Peng Emperor here today?"

The Great Roc Emperor said, “I know that besides me, the one who has attained enlightenment in this world, there must be other enlightened beings in this mortal universe. Whether they are corpse-dissolving immortals, earth immortals, or mortal immortals, there must be many of them left in the mortal world.”

"Please show me the way, Fellow Daoist Lihuang, so that I may meet them."

The avatar of the Power Emperor said, "How can you be so sure that you can find the others through me?"

The Great Roc Emperor said, "Intuition."

The avatar of the Power Emperor said, "In that case, your intuition is quite accurate. However, may I ask why you want to find other fellow Daoists?" The Great Roc Emperor said, "Firstly, naturally, to discuss the Dao and its methods; secondly, to spar with them and find ways to advance further."

The avatar of the Power Emperor said, "It is possible, but they are all people who have embarked on the path to immortality. You are probably not yet able to compare with them."

The Great Roc Emperor said, "That's excellent. I've been hoping to encounter a sufficiently powerful opponent."

The avatar of the Power Emperor said, "Since that's the case, then I'll tell you. The Black Tortoise Emperor and the White Tiger Emperor have both become Earth Immortals in the mortal universe. One is on Jade Flower Divine Island, and the other is on Kunlun Immortal Mountain. In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, they deliberately hide themselves so that the Dao Prodigy will not notice them."

"I will give you their scent, and then you will be able to find their whereabouts."

The Great Roc Emperor said, "Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist."

After achieving his goal, the Great Roc Emperor left his legacy at the very core of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave before turning away and heading into the depths of the universe.

His first stop was Kunlun Immortal Mountain. Judging from the aura, Kunlun Immortal Mountain, belonging to the White Tiger Emperor, was undoubtedly easier to find. After all, Jade Flower Divine Island not only possessed the methods of the Spirit Treasure Celestial Venerable, but also the domain techniques of the Black Tortoise Emperor, making it naturally difficult to locate.

At this time, Kunlun Immortal Mountain had completely assimilated this ancient star, forming a more vast world of earth immortals. This also means that the White Tiger Emperor was indeed quite accomplished in the methods of earth immortals.

The White Tiger King, located in the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, naturally sensed his presence and took the initiative to greet him.

The Great Roc Emperor said, "Fellow Daoist White Tiger, it's a pleasure to meet you."

The White Tiger Emperor said, "Fellow Daoist Peng Emperor, have you come here to discuss the Dao and its methods?"

The Great Roc Emperor said, "Besides that, I also hope to have the opportunity to spar with you, fellow Daoist."

The White Tiger Emperor was somewhat speechless, and after a pause, he said, "Fellow Daoist, you are indeed brave and warlike. Please."

Thus, the Great Roc Emperor began to discuss the Dao with the White Tiger Emperor in the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, and they even sparred several times. However, the White Tiger Emperor had been an Earth Immortal for hundreds of thousands of years, and even though his progress on the path to becoming an Emperor Immortal was extremely slow, he had still gained power far surpassing that of the past. Therefore, the Great Roc Emperor was ultimately firmly suppressed and placed at a disadvantage.

After this battle, the Great Roc Emperor began further cultivation in order to unleash even greater power.

Of course, under the guidance of the White Tiger Emperor, he also met the Black Tortoise Emperor and challenged him, but the result was naturally not good.

However, in the battle with the two Earth Immortals, the Great Roc Emperor finally began to break through his limits, allowing his potential to explode further, and began to show signs of evolving.

Amidst this fulfilling cultivation, another ten thousand years and a thousand years passed. The sixteen thousand-year-old Peng Emperor reached his twilight years, and his lifespan finally came to an end.

During this period, although the Great Roc Emperor made considerable progress, it was mainly in his personal cultivation techniques, rather than mastering the method of transformation. Therefore, his cultivation in the human universe will not last much longer.

Thus, the Great Roc Emperor was able to live a second life with the help of the Xuanwu Elixir of Immortality. This elixir of immortality was, of course, obtained through a transaction between him and the Xuanwu Emperor.

The reason for not choosing the White Tiger Immortal Medicine is that neither of these two immortal medicines are suitable for him. Therefore, he should choose the Black Tortoise Immortal Medicine, which focuses more on life potential, to make the effect better.

After all, the path he said he wanted to take was somewhat domineering and extreme, and improving his life essence as much as possible would be extremely helpful for his future cultivation.
