Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 800 The Seventh Emperor
After the Source Demon successfully lived out its second life, the human universe fell into silence once again, and two thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Primordial Ancient Mine, the Yuan Emperor, who was in seclusion, inexplicably felt a terrifying aura begin to emanate from it, causing the entire Primordial Ancient Mine to tremble and become unable to withstand such a force.

This aura did not originate from outside the Primordial Ancient Mine, but from within.

Emperor Yuan immediately understood that this was a sign that the Immortal Emperor was about to successfully undergo Nirvana, so he immediately ended his seclusion and came to the place where the Immortal Emperor was undergoing Nirvana.

Seeing the phoenix egg, which looked as if it were cast from celestial gold, begin to tremble slightly, Emperor Yuan confirmed this.

Under this aura, the Blood Phoenix Emperor naturally withdrew from that state of resonance and awoke once more. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately took the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality and temporarily distanced himself from the Undying Emperor.

Although the Nirvana process of the Undying Emperor should theoretically be safe, the difference in strength is so obvious that even the slightest anomaly could cause the Blood Phoenix Emperor and the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality to be reduced to ashes. Therefore, he dared not gamble.

Emperor Yuan said, "Fellow Daoist Blood Phoenix, you have finally awakened. You have been asleep with the Emperor for many years, resonating with his Nirvana power. You must have benefited greatly from this, right?"

The Blood Phoenix Emperor said, "Thanks to the Heavenly Emperor's divine might, I have achieved some success. Being able to absorb some of his divine essence, these 100,000 years of cultivation are more than equivalent to my own 200,000 years of cultivation."

Emperor Yuan asked, "Then, Fellow Daoist Blood Phoenix, how close are you to success?"

The Blood Phoenix Emperor said, "It's difficult. This method of dissolving corpses to become immortal requires me to simultaneously focus on the progress of my own Dao Fruit and the evolution and transformation of my immortal artifact body. Reaching the end is truly a long way off."

Yuanhuang said, "In this respect, you should be better than me, fellow Daoist. The Great Heavenly Venerable's mortal Wuji Daoist once guided my future. If I want to reach the pinnacle and try the next stage of cultivation, I need to become a Quasi-Immortal King."

The Blood Phoenix Emperor said, "That's true. My path will only lead me to the level of becoming a Supreme Immortal Artifact. Although a Supreme Immortal Artifact is comparable to a Mortal Immortal Artifact, it is still just an Immortal Artifact. My own Dao Fruit does not need to reach the level of a Mortal Immortal."

"However, although it is more difficult, the results you will achieve after you succeed will be even greater."

As the two were talking, the Undying Emperor's aura stabilized and began to steadily increase, becoming more and more powerful.

During this process, the phoenix egg, which looked as if it had been cast in celestial gold, began to develop fine cracks.

Finally, the egg shattered, and the Immortal Emperor calmly stepped out. His aura vanished instantly, becoming impossible to detect.

The Immortal Emperor transformed into a vessel for 350,000 years, shattered the vessel, and then underwent Nirvana for another 100,000 years. This means that it took him a full 450,000 years to successfully live from his sixth incarnation to his seventh. This time span is indeed terrifying.

Even the Undying Emperor found the final half of the Path to Immortality extremely difficult. By this calculation, it's likely that it will take him countless millennia to successfully become an Immortal.

Although his rebirth took a long time, thanks to the mysteries of the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal Technique, the results were enormous, so the Immortal Emperor was very satisfied with the outcome.

The Undying Emperor felt he was not far from becoming a Mortal Immortal. Even if he could not undergo another Nirvana, he was absolutely confident that he could complete the final stage of the Mortal Immortal path in the strange world.

Of course, this was just a random thought. His goal was to become a mortal immortal in the human universe, and he was perhaps only two nirvanas away from that goal at most.

After successfully living out his seventh life, the Undying Emperor naturally learned through his connection with the wisp of energy of the Boundless Immortal Mountain that the Primordial Saint Emperor was currently in the Immortal Mountain, and that his master had not yet left the mortal universe, which made him feel relieved.

The Immortal Emperor smiled and said, "Fellow Daoists, it's been a long time."

Emperor Yuan and Emperor Xuehuang immediately cupped their hands and said, "Greetings, Emperor." Then, the Undying Emperor sat down opposite Emperor Yuan and Emperor Xuehuang.

The Immortal Emperor said, "It seems that my junior brother has really lived to this point, waiting for the time when I successfully achieved Nirvana."

Emperor Yuan said, "Fellow Daoist Taichu previously cultivated in the Taichu Ancient Mine, but he left this place 50,000 years ago and went to Wuji Immortal Mountain."

The Undying Emperor said, "That's only natural. Given his physique, he does indeed need to go to the Boundless Immortal Mountain to make further progress."

"Judging from your state, Fellow Daoist Yuanhuang, you must have a very clear understanding of the path ahead. This is truly commendable."

The Emperor said, "It is all thanks to the guidance of the Great Heavenly Venerable's mortal Wuji Daoist that I was able to understand the path ahead so quickly."

The Immortal Emperor was not surprised by this, after all, he knew very well the origin of the Earth Immortal Technique.

So he nodded and looked at Blood Phoenix Emperor: "Fellow Daoist Blood Phoenix, now that you've finished this round of seclusion, you should have mastered all my achievements in the Corpse Dissolution Immortal Technique, right? It seems that I can no longer give you any more guidance."

The Blood Phoenix Emperor said, "With the guidance of the Heavenly Emperor's method, I have naturally benefited greatly and can now see the path ahead."

Because there were obvious differences in the Dao and Dharma among the three of them, after a brief discussion, the Undying Emperor left the Primordial Ancient Mine and went to the Boundless Immortal Mountain after a long absence.

The Immortal Emperor had a premonition that his master was still in the human universe with great ambitions, but even so, he probably wouldn't stay for much longer.

Therefore, after this life, he may only be able to see his master, the Boundless Heavenly Venerable, in the Immortal Realm or even in a wider world.

Therefore, in this life, he should naturally go to the Wuji Immortal Mountain to cultivate, so as to make arrangements for his more distant future.

After all, knowing how to break through the mortal immortal realm and reach a higher level requires prior knowledge and preparation.

With the presence of the aura of Wuji Immortal Mountain, the Undying Emperor quickly arrived outside Wuji Immortal Mountain.

Within the Boundless Immortal Mountain, the Primordial Saint Emperor, no longer at his peak, opened his eyes. He had lived for 30,000 years, and this fourth life was nearing its end, with only a few thousand more years left before his death.

The reason he ended his seclusion at such a crucial moment was not because he had lived for a full 100,000 years and wanted to celebrate, but because he was moved by a powerful aura outside the Wuji Immortal Mountain.

This aura came from someone he knew very well: the Immortal Emperor.

Clearly, just as his master, the Supreme Heavenly Venerable Wuji, had said, he successfully lived until the time when the Immortal Emperor achieved Nirvana and began his seventh incarnation.

As he sensed this aura entering the immortal mountain, the Primordial Saint Emperor immediately rose to greet him, cupping his hands and saying, "Senior Brother."

Looking at the Primordial Saint Emperor, who was now far beyond the unborn divine embryo of the past, the Undying Emperor cupped his hands and said, "Junior Brother."
