Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 798 Proving the Dao
Speaking of the Origin Demon, he is actually a very mysterious being.

In the original timeline, his legend remained on the Big Dipper along with the Source God and Source Demon, becoming a taboo revered by all Source Collectors. This suggests that he, like his two brothers, was a supreme being of the forbidden zone who severed his own path after attaining enlightenment.

But his name truly only exists in these legends; the Source Demon himself has never appeared, and even his other deeds are practically nonexistent.

Therefore, the Source Demon may have already passed away and was unable to continue sealing itself; or it may have already died in some dark upheaval and been killed by other enlightened beings.

The one who killed him might be the Western Emperor who had stormed the underworld, or the Great Emperor Wushi who wanted to avenge his parents.

However, in this timeline, the Source Demon will naturally not have such a future. After the Underworld Emperor chose the right side, their Underworld has been exonerated and returned to the right path, and the Source Demon has also shed its demonic nature and will no longer cause any trouble.

Perhaps because the Source God, the Spirit Emperor, and the Primordial Saint Emperor were all born from Holy Spirits, the Source Demon felt that the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth seemed to be somewhat different as soon as he was born, which made him feel comfortable and seemed to be able to cultivate faster.

In response, Yuan Mo couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother Minghuang, the laws of heaven and earth seem to be somewhat strange."

The Underworld Emperor said, "There is no need to be surprised. The current foundation of the human universe is greater than before, so it is possible to replicate the Great Dao Imprint of sufficiently powerful Dao Provers, thereby allowing for further evolution. The one who previously attained Dao was the Primordial Holy Emperor. He should have reached the level of an Undying Heavenly Emperor or God Emperor in a certain lifetime, and thus influenced the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth after him through the Heavenly Heart Imprint."

“He is the Holy Spirit, and you are also considered the Holy Spirit, so you will naturally receive this blessing.”

The Source Demon said, "This is truly terrifying."

When he officially began his cultivation, the Source Demon naturally focused on the innate scriptures and supernatural powers that he had nurtured in the Source for many years.

Besides that, the inheritance of the Source God is secondary. The magic created by this elder brother, who is extremely similar to him and almost like a blood brother, can be said to have completely explored the path that the Source Demon will take in the future.

Of course, there are also Source Arts. Source Demons can not only learn the Source Arts of the Underworld Lord, but also the Source Arts of the Source God. The progress is faster when comparing the two.

In addition, the Source Demon also cultivated the inheritances of those self-severed supreme beings from the self-sealed underworld of the mythical era. After all, unlike the Source God, he was tainted with more demonic power from the underworld, making him adept at cultivating these techniques.

Like the Source God, the Source Demon also spent a hundred years rebuilding himself, reshaping his cultivation to the level of a Saint, thus gaining a deeper foundation before emerging from seclusion. This was also an important lesson learned from the Source God.

In addition, due to his own talent, the Source Demon has also achieved great success in Source Arts. Although his talent in this aspect is not as good as that of the Source God, he has successfully pushed it to a higher level.

Then, like a source god, he embarked on the ancient path of the starry sky, heading towards a wider world in order to reach a higher realm.

After all, judging from the cultivation process of the Source Gods, if they want to evolve quickly, they need to go to various parts of the human universe to devour the Source from different regions and of different kinds, and use this to analyze the laws of heaven and earth contained within them, so as to continuously improve themselves and ultimately perfect their own Dao and Law. The Source Demons also need to go through this process in order to better unleash their full potential.

The Ancient Star Road, which connects various regions of the universe, is a ready-made route that allows him to explore more star regions and thus accelerate his growth.

Moreover, during this process, he can also fight against other geniuses in the universe to further accelerate his growth. The birth of the Source Demon caused a greater sensation than that of the Source God. After all, his appearance, shrouded in demonic energy, was not very appealing and did not look like a proper holy spirit.

Fortunately, the Underworld had successfully cleared its name and had a fairly good reputation in the human universe. In addition, due to the passage of time, few people in the human universe still remembered the chaos of the past. Therefore, with the Underworld's endorsement, the Source Demon was not targeted or besieged.

The Source Demon naturally didn't care about this. He had no good feelings towards races outside the Underworld, but he also had no ill feelings towards them, and he didn't care about other people's opinions.

Subsequently, the Source Demon, like the Source God, followed the ancient path of the starry sky, using the sources of various places as mediums to make his source techniques, Dao, and laws advance by leaps and bounds, gradually becoming one of the most powerful geniuses of this generation in the human universe.

And so, the Source Demon steadily advanced, venturing deep into the ancient starry road. At over three hundred years old, the Source Demon successfully ascended to the rank of Great Sage, leaving his mark before the ultimate ancient road.

During this process, the Source Demon also received the inheritance of the Spirit Emperor, making his Dao and Dharma more perfect.

For over four hundred years afterward, the Source Demon achieved final victory on the ultimate ancient path, reaching the quasi-emperor level. After all, this era was not as glorious as the past, and the Source Demon, as a true young ancient emperor, naturally had a clear advantage.

After that, the Source Demon embarked on a journey through the ancient starry sky, using the sources of various places to comprehend the Dao, just like the Source God, so as to further enhance his Dao and Dharma.

During this process, the Source Demon also unexpectedly encountered the Holy Spirits protected by the Primordial Holy Emperor, and under their guidance, went to the Chaos Divine Land left for the Holy Spirits.

Although he looked like a demon, he successfully passed the Heart-Testing Array left by the Primordial Holy Emperor, which shows that there was nothing wrong with his character.

There, the Source Demon learned the scriptures left by the Primordial Holy Emperor and also comprehended parts of his Dao and Dharma from the great formation he set up.

Because of this, the Source Demon also triggered the divine thoughts left behind by the Primordial Holy Emperor, who personally guided his cultivation.

To prevent these holy spirits from causing trouble, the Primordial Holy Emperor had specifically left a contingency plan, namely his divine thought avatar. The Source Demon possessed extraordinary talent and was a very special type among the holy spirits, so the Primordial Holy Emperor's divine thought avatar naturally could not suppress its curiosity.

Not to mention, the Primordial Holy Emperor is currently researching methods to transform himself based on the mysteries of various holy spirits, and the Source Demon is also one of the important materials that can inspire his true form.

After further perfecting his own Dao and Dharma, the Source Demon embarked on his journey once again.

As time flew by, the Source Demon continued to improve, his cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds, finally reaching his peak at the age of three thousand. Whether it was scriptures, supernatural powers, or source techniques, he had sublimated them to an extreme. And at this point, the Source Demon had naturally successfully completed the accumulation for his ultimate leap.

Furthermore, the Source Demon compared its own path with that of the Source God, thereby accumulating more experience for the Source Ghost, who was more similar to itself and possessed a certain cursed power due to the underworld.

After accomplishing all this, the Source Demon triggered the Great Tribulation of Attaining Enlightenment.
