Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 806 The Third Human Emperor

After successfully attaining enlightenment, Emperor Sui had a better understanding of his own situation. Although the elixir of immortality, the Flintwood, had long since disappeared, some faint traces still remained.

Therefore, the Emperor of Fire could naturally discover from the Firewood Law inherent in his origin that he might not be the child of some great supernatural being he had previously guessed, but was very likely the human form of this immortal herb.

Recalling the legend of a divine infant descending from the heavens when he was born on the ancient star of the primordial world, many cultivators on the ancient star of the primordial world had previously associated him with this. Although Emperor Sui himself also felt that the protagonist of this legend might be himself, he never had any evidence to confirm this.

Now it seems that he may be certain.

After all, when that divine infant was born, his body was surrounded by raging Dao fire, which faintly condensed into the shape of a divine tree, just like his Flintwood Law.

However, the elixir of immortality had never materialized in the past of the human universe, so Emperor Sui did not believe that he had become like this for no reason; there must be some special cause. Moreover, in some fragmentary records, Suimu seemed to have been destroyed long ago, making his appearance even more peculiar.

Even after he became the supreme emperor, when he traced his past, he found that his past was still a void, and he could not deduce any information from it.

Clearly, his past must have been tainted by a more advanced power for this to have occurred.

Since he was already there, he decided to make the best of it. Since he couldn't explore the past, the Fire Emperor decided not to try again. He first focused on refining his own power, using the residual energy generated during his path to enlightenment to further perfect his Dao and Dharma, especially the Fire Scripture.

After fully adapting to his own power, Emperor Sui left this place and headed to the ancient primordial star.

Having already gained recognition from many major human powers, Suihuang now has the potential to become the third human emperor. Naturally, he plans to go to Mount Tai to formally become the human emperor.

Of course, there is another reason besides this: this is his hometown, and if he wants to explore the past, it is obviously easier to do so on the ancient star.

Not to mention, he once obtained the Sun Sutra on Mount Tai, and the legendary King of Thailand clearly thought highly of him, so perhaps he could seek his help.

Upon returning to the ancient star, Suihuang immediately went to Mount Tai. He needed to obtain the Human Emperor's Seal of Approval, initiate the Fengshan Ceremony, and officially become the Human Emperor.

His move naturally excited the human race, as the birth of a new human emperor meant that humanity's peak would continue. Thus, it seems that, thanks to the efforts of these three, in this era that is clearly not very suitable for humanity, they have still become the protagonists.

As for the other ancient races, they felt a sense of despair. It seemed that the human race was indeed blessed by nature, and they could only give up challenging its position completely.

After returning to the ancient star, Suihuang went straight to Mount Tai, but he did not sense the aura of the mysterious Emperor Tai. Only the Emperor's Seal hung high on the mountain peak.

Emperor Sui maintained his reverence for the two previous emperors and for Mount Tai as a sacred place, so he chose to climb the mountain on foot. He soon arrived at the summit of Mount Tai and faced the Emperor's Seal.

Given Suihuang's current state, he could naturally see that this supreme artifact of the human race had become a semi-immortal artifact, and that the main thing within it was the profound meaning contained in the Human Dao Divine Fist.

As for the Humanity Divine Fist, the supreme divine power of the human race created by the first human emperor, the Taiyin Human Emperor, and further evolved by the Sun Holy Emperor, Suihuang naturally had a very high level of mastery over it, and even developed his own variations from it. He immediately activated his evolved Humanity Divine Fist, and it began to resonate with the Human Emperor Seal.

Unlike the previous two human emperors, in the human torrent condensed by Emperor Sui, each of the human pioneers had an inextinguishable flame burning within their bodies. This flame was the unbroken and inextinguishable heart flame that the human race had inherited to this day, the flame of inheritance, the flame of civilization.

Under this change, the Emperor's Seal immediately began to tremble, interacting with the aura of Emperor Sui and gradually merging into one.

Suihuang hung the Human Emperor Seal above his head, resonating with it, and truly became the Human Emperor.

At this moment, Emperor Sui sensed that within this great seal, besides the profound laws of the Humanity Divine Fist as its main body, there were also the laws of the Sun and the Moon of the Sun Holy Emperor and the Moon Human Emperor.

The Human Emperor Seal was just one step away from becoming a Celestial Artifact, and it was clear that the third Human Emperor, who was skilled in using fire, was the one who refined the Human Emperor Seal, thus making it a true Celestial Artifact.

Suihuang knew that this was the expectation that Taiyin Renhuang and Taiyang Shenghuang had for their descendants, and now he had fulfilled their expectations and become the third Renhuang, finally achieving this goal.

The intertwined and evolving laws of Yin and Yang can also provide him with great inspiration.

Suihuang did not sense the presence of the Taihuang, but his intuition told him that someone in Mount Tai was watching him silently.

However, since the other party was unwilling to show himself, Emperor Sui did not search for him any further. Instead, he directly notified all parties of the human race to begin preparing for the Fengshan Ceremony. He himself used the special laws within the Human Emperor Seal and the characteristic of the myriad paths merging after merging with the Heavenly Heart Seal to make himself more perfect.

In the blink of an eye, Emperor Sui secluded himself atop Mount Tai for five hundred years, using his own primordial Dao fire to refine the Emperor Seal once more, gradually taking the final step towards becoming a celestial artifact. In the process, he also perfected his own Dao and Dharma.

At this moment, the two-thousand-year-old Emperor Sui came to the outside world and began the formal Fengshan ceremony.

After the two Fengshan ceremonies performed by the Yin Emperor and the Sun Emperor, the rituals and procedures of this Fengshan ceremony, though significantly different, have become more refined and more complex.

In response, Emperor Sui did not attempt to change this, but simply removed some wasteful processes that would cause inconvenience to human cultivators.

Without grandeur, there is no way to demonstrate authority. The human race has become the undisputed number one race in the human universe. Therefore, he naturally needs to hold a series of magnificent ceremonies to make other races realize this, and take the opportunity to strengthen his authority, so as to better govern the human race internally.

After the Fengshan ceremony, Emperor Sui spread the new variations of the Humanistic Divine Fist he had developed, and also spread the third human mother scripture he created—the Fire Scripture—to all regions.

The Sun Mother Scripture and the Moon Mother Scripture are already basic enough for most humans to cultivate and gain greater benefits, but the threshold for these two laws is still quite high, and it is too difficult to reach a higher level.

As a more fundamental power, the Law of Fire naturally allows more humans to gain insights from it, which is a crucial boost to the further development of humanity. This also further solidifies his position as the third Human Emperor.
