Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 808 Cause and Effect
Time flies, and eighteen thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, the fame of Emperor Sui grew stronger and stronger, and the power of faith he collected became increasingly vast, even gradually beginning to transform into a divine embryo, showing signs of becoming a true life.

Previously, the Yin Emperor and the Sun Emperor had refined all their faith power into the Emperor Seal and Mount Tai, so their faith power had not been accumulated and condensed in this way.

The reason why Emperor Sui did this was firstly to study the method of transformation, secondly because the Human Emperor Seal was currently stuck at the bottleneck of becoming a celestial artifact and could no longer accommodate more faith power for strengthening, and finally because Mount Tai had now become the Earthly Immortal Realm of the Sun Saint Emperor, and if the faith power of others were to be incorporated into it, it would inevitably affect its purity.

However, it was not the right time yet, so Emperor Sui restricted the growth of this divine embryo and did not allow it to continue evolving into life.

Looking at his decaying body after finishing his cultivation, Emperor Sui knew that his first life had come to an end.

A lifespan of 23,000 years is still incredibly long, even though it's not as long as that of an immortal emperor or a god emperor.

Even though he wasn't a fully realized immortality elixir, thanks to the Dao Fruit he achieved through his extraordinary talent, Suihuang still displayed remarkable talent.

In his later years, Suihuang no longer hesitated and swallowed the fruit of the Vermilion Bird's Elixir of Immortality, successfully living out his second life.

The second Emperor Sui left Mount Tai once again and began another tour of the human world and the universe.

At this moment, in the Wuji Immortal Mountain, the Undying Emperor opened his eyes, temporarily halted his cultivation, and headed towards the depths of the human universe.

Now that the Immortal Emperor has lived for seven lifetimes, his strength is even more unfathomable. Therefore, he arrived in the depths of the universe in an instant and met the Emperor Sui in the distance.

Sensing the Flint Law remaining in its life essence, the Undying Emperor deliberately released a trace of his aura, allowing the Flint Emperor to detect it.

Upon sensing this aura, the Emperor Sui, who was traveling through the human universe, immediately tensed up. However, he did not show it and bid farewell to the humans here as usual, as if nothing had happened.

He then left the starry sky at top speed and arrived in a vast uninhabited area, where he called out loudly, "I wonder which fellow Daoist has come here? Would you be so kind as to come out and meet me?"

Although the aura was very weak, it made the Emperor of Fire feel extremely dangerous, so he was a little uneasy for a moment.

The Immortal Emperor appeared quietly and said, "Emperor Sui, you are quite good, the divine embryo formed from the essence of Suimu."

Upon seeing the handsome man before him, whose body was shimmering with five-colored divine light, Emperor Sui felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

After a moment's thought, he immediately remembered the source of this feeling, and said, "So it's the Emperor. May I ask what brings you here?"

Although almost no one knows the appearance of the Immortal Emperor now, Suihuang was clearly one of the very few cultivators who saw his form in some ancient artifacts.

From the Sun Emperor, the Fire Emperor already knew which Earth Immortals, Mortal Immortals, and those who had not yet succeeded in becoming Mortal Immortals were hidden in the human universe. Therefore, although the appearance of the Undying Emperor surprised him, it was not beyond his expectations.

The Immortal Emperor said, "You should know that your origins are related to the Boundless Immortal Mountain, right?"

Suihuang said, "Of course I know. Does the Emperor perhaps know the details?"

The Undying Emperor said, "Of course I know everything about you. There was once a celestial fire in this mortal universe, immortal and eternal, wandering throughout the mortal universe." "And its essence was the essence of the flint and the primordial fire of a celestial phoenix supporting each other, thus ensuring that it did not completely disappear."

"Later, the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji obtained this immortal fire and used his great supernatural powers to separate the two parts that made up your form, allowing them to recover separately. The part that belonged to the essence of the flint wood was transformed into human form under the Supreme Celestial Venerable's methods, and that is your origin."

Upon hearing all this, Emperor Sui was momentarily dazed. It seemed as if some incomplete images were indeed appearing before his eyes, but they were completely chaotic and he could not discern any details from them.

Suihuang murmured to himself, "So that's how it is. I really am a transformation of Suimu."

After learning about his origins, Emperor Sui resolved a knot in his heart, and his Dao heart became more perfect in an instant.

Then, Emperor Sui bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for clearing up my doubts."

The Immortal Emperor said, "No need for formalities. I have come here because there is a great karmic connection between you and me that needs to be resolved."

Suihuang sensed no malice from the Immortal Emperor, so he believed this was not a case of bad karma. Therefore, he remained relatively calm: "I wonder what karma exists between the Emperor and me?"

The Undying Emperor said, “I have no karmic connection with you, but the people around me are connected to you. The Boundless Supreme Heavenly Venerable is my master, and you were personally enlightened by him, making you practically his disciple. My master is currently busy with his own cultivation and cannot spare the time for the moment, so as his eldest disciple, I naturally have to come and help you cultivate, answer your questions, and point out your path.”

Upon hearing this, Suihuang said, "I see. Then I thank the Great Heavenly Venerable and the Heavenly Emperor."

The Undying Emperor continued, "Besides that, there is another connection between us. The Immortal Fire has two parts. The other part, the Immortal Phoenix Dao Fire, was also enlightened by my master, who transformed it into a Holy Spirit. She was the Fire Emperor who attained enlightenment in the early days of this era."

"The Fire Queen is my wife. If it weren't for the spirit of your predecessor, the Flintwood, continuing her existence, the Fire Queen would never have been born."

“From this perspective, I also need to repay your kindness on her behalf.”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Sui said, "I know nothing about this matter. The Emperor has no need to repay this favor, nor is there any favor to repay."

The Undying Emperor said, “Fellow Daoist Suihuang, you should know that it is extremely important for us cultivators to keep our Dao hearts clear and pure. Although the Fire Emperor has been in the strange world for many years, she still remembers the kindness of the past and has entrusted it to me.”

“If you, Fellow Daoist Suihuang, do not accept our gratitude, then I fear our hearts will be troubled and our path to immortality will be blocked.”

The Immortal Emperor's words were clearly very serious. The hatred for those who obstructed his path was greater than the heavens. He used this rhetoric to put pressure on the Emperor Sui, so the Emperor Sui naturally could not continue to insist.

So he could only say, "Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to shamelessly accept the gifts from my fellow Daoists, the Heavenly Emperor and the Fire Emperor."

The Undying Emperor smiled and said, "If Fellow Daoist Suihuang says so, then both I and the Fire Emperor, who is far away in the strange world, can rest assured."
