Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 782 Communication
Upon hearing Yuanhuang's words, Taichu Shenghuang couldn't help but feel a little regretful. After all, the Immortal Emperor had undergone Nirvana several times in the Taichu Ancient Mine, and he had personally witnessed these processes. Therefore, he knew that the Immortal Emperor's Nirvana each took hundreds of thousands of years or even longer.

He couldn't help but say, "It seems that I will only be able to meet my senior brother again in another world."

Emperor Yuan said, "That's not entirely true. This time, the Emperor used the method of corpse dissolution to refine himself into a vessel, and then broke the vessel to return to his true self. Therefore, his accumulation is already deep enough, so this time his Nirvana will definitely be faster than before and will not take so long."

"Moreover, the Great Celestial Venerable's divine thoughts once told the Emperor to have more faith in you, Fellow Daoist. So it seems that at least the Great Celestial Venerable believes that you can live in the human universe until the Emperor's Nirvana ends."

Upon hearing this, the Primordial Saint Emperor's spirits lifted: "Master actually said that? In that case, Senior Brother's Nirvana might really not be that long."

Yuanhuang said, "Fellow Daoist Taichu, would you like to go see the Heavenly Emperor?"

The Primordial Holy Emperor said, "Of course."

So they entered the Primordial Ancient Mine together. Thanks to his past origins and early exposure to the Primordial Immortal Scripture, the Primordial Holy Emperor could influence the operation of the Primordial Ancient Mine to some extent, making it easy for him to study the current state of the mine.

Therefore, he naturally discovered that the Primordial Emperor, the Primordial Ancient Mine, and the Seven-Colored Gourd Immortal Vine were connected, thus forming a pattern of mutual restraint and common progress. It is clear that the Primordial Emperor's true form as an Earth Immortal was also condensed in this way.

So the Primordial Saint Emperor said, "I have heard my master mention this method of Earth Immortal before. Fellow Daoist, you have actually been able to improve it, so that you do not rely entirely on the strange lands, but leave yourself an opportunity to escape. Fellow Daoist Primordial Emperor is truly amazing."

Yuanhuang shook his head and said, "I was able to do this by standing on the shoulders of several predecessors who also embarked on the path of Earth Immortals and by drawing on their experience. Moreover, Fellow Daoist Sun Saint Emperor was the pioneer who came up with a way to make himself not rely on strange lands but on himself. I was just learning from him."

The Primordial Holy Emperor said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanhuang is too modest. We cultivators all need to learn from and draw on the experiences of our predecessors. Being able to forge your own path is already enough to prove your amazing talent."

The Emperor Yuan summoned the Seven-Colored Gourd Immortal Vine and said, "When the Great Celestial Venerable came here before, he helped me complete the immortal laws within this gourd immortal vine, making my path forward clearer and benefiting me greatly."

“When Fellow Daoist Taichu reaches the end of his life in the future, he may come to this place. I will do my best to extend his life as a way of repaying him.”

At this moment, only one seven-colored gourd was in contact with the gourd vine. It not only incorporated the immortal laws within the gourd vine, but also the laws of the Primordial Ancient Mine, combining them into a gourd elixir of astonishing divinity. If one were to consume it, one would likely not only live a lifetime, but also undergo a minor transformation, being baptized by these two special laws and gaining a significant improvement.

This is a divine medicine that the Yuan Emperor refined without regard to cost, but without damaging the Primordial Ancient Mine and the gourd vine. Its effects are extraordinary. Even if the Primordial Holy Emperor were to live a second life with other immortality medicines in the future, this gourd divine medicine would definitely allow him to achieve further improvement.

If it continues to evolve and improve, this gourd could even be like the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, allowing the Primordial Saint Emperor to live another life even after using the elixir of immortality.

However, doing so would leave Emperor Yuan virtually stagnant for quite some time.

The Primordial Saint Emperor said, "Why bother, Fellow Daoist Yuanhuang? The Primordial Ancient Mine is merely the place that nurtured me, not something that belongs solely to me. It is a great thing that it has helped you achieve your goals."

Fellow Daoist Yuanhuang said, "Since Fellow Daoist Taichu has this karmic connection with me, I cannot rest easy if I do not repay it. If my Dao heart is not perfected, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to continue to progress in the future." Hearing what Fellow Daoist Yuanhuang said, Holy Emperor Taichu could not say anything more.

Just then, they had passed through the Primordial Ancient Mine and arrived at the core of the mine. The treasure cave that originally gave birth to the Primordial One still existed, but because it had given birth to the Primordial One, and because the Primordial Ancient Mine had changed due to the Yuan Emperor's attainment of Earth Immortal status, this treasure cave was no longer the absolute core of the Primordial Ancient Mine.

Upon seeing this scene, the Primordial Holy Emperor couldn't help but sigh, but he quickly stopped paying attention to it. Long before he was born, he had already decided to forge his own path in the human universe and even the wider world. This was just the beginning, and it was far from time to reminisce about the past.

Then, he turned his gaze to the place where the Undying Emperor had been in seclusion and undergoing Nirvana. There, he saw a five-colored celestial phoenix egg, as if cast from celestial gold, with a five-colored celestial phoenix faintly growing inside.

Beside it, there was a Divine Phoenix Immortal Medicine and a Blood Phoenix statue that had become a celestial artifact.

The Divine Phoenix Elixir had undergone many changes due to its evolution within the vessel that the Undying Emperor had transformed into. Its intelligence and form had grown significantly, making it look more and more like a true divine phoenix, as if it were about to take flight.

This Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality was originally very close to the Immortal Emperor, and this became even more so after the Immortal Emperor achieved Nirvana by studying the immortal laws contained within it.

Now it has evolved together with the Immortal Emperor for a long time, and their connection has indeed reached an unprecedented level.

In this situation, the Divine Phoenix Elixir can even resonate with the Undying Emperor in Nirvana through its vital energy, thereby accelerating its own evolution.

Although the Primordial Saint Emperor had never actually spoken with the Blood Phoenix Emperor, he was aware of his existence during the years he nurtured him in the Boundless Immortal Mountain. Now, the Blood Phoenix Emperor was also resonating with the Undying Emperor through the power of Nirvana, which was undoubtedly a tremendous boost to him.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Primordial Emperor did not linger. He simply bowed from afar and then withdrew.

The Primordial Saint Emperor sighed, "My senior brother, the Heavenly Emperor, has already reached the latter half of the Path to Immortality in the Mortal World. It seems that I have no room for slackening."

Emperor Yuan said, "Fellow Daoist Taichu is right."

So the two of them moved to another place and began to discuss the Dao and its teachings, so as to promote each other.

The Primordial Saint Emperor had personally witnessed more than one Immortal on the Path of the Mortal Realm, so he was naturally very familiar with it. Therefore, he needed to begin preparing and accumulating experience for his transformation from this moment on, and to determine his future direction.

The Yuan Emperor had undergone two genuine transformations, so he naturally had a lot of authority to speak on the matter. Exchanging ideas with him could provide the Primordial Holy Emperor with many insights to better achieve his transformation.
