Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 821 Proving the Dao
After his true birth, Genki began to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth in the underworld, and there was a clear aura in it that made him feel very familiar and at ease.

As the Netherworld Emperor, who considers the Netherworld the Immortal Realm, he can naturally sense the affinity between the laws of the Netherworld and the Source Ghosts. He said, "You should have felt it, right? This is also one of the gifts left behind by the Source God and the Source Demon."

"Originally, you all had a high degree of compatibility with the Netherworld because you were nurtured in the Netherworld for a long time and were strengthened by its laws. Therefore, you were even able to cultivate the Netherworld Nerve."

"After the Source God and Source Demon attained enlightenment, their Dao aura inevitably influenced the Netherworld. They even used their Source Techniques to sort out and adjust the Netherworld in various ways."

"In this way, you, who are extremely similar to them, will naturally gain a higher degree of compatibility with the underworld, which will not only help your cultivation, but may also bring other benefits in the future."

Yuan Gui said, "With such superior conditions, I am even more confident in surpassing them."

Subsequently, the Source Demon began his formal cultivation. With the scripture inheritance from the Source God and Source Demon, the Source Demon compared his own innate scripture with it, making remarkable progress.

The Source Techniques circulating in the Underworld, after being modified by the Source God and Source Demon, have become more suitable for the Source Ghost, so his cultivation of Source Techniques has also progressed by leaps and bounds.

During his cultivation, Yuanmo also obtained a foundation-building scripture left by the Primordial Holy Emperor to the Holy Spirit and a scripture belonging to the Spirit Emperor. Yuangui is essentially a special kind of Holy Spirit, so these two scriptures are naturally of great significance to him.

Besides these, there are scriptures from the supreme beings of the underworld in the mythical era. The Source Demon, born with extremely strong curse power, does indeed have a clear advantage when practicing certain scriptures.

After gathering these numerous scriptures and supernatural powers, Yuan Gui focused all his energy on cultivation, beginning to completely reshape the saintly cultivation he was born with.

This is the path that the Source God and Source Demon explored to make their foundations more solid. The Source Ghost naturally has to do the same, and even make its foundation stronger and more stable than theirs.

Because of his superior conditions, the Source Ghost's reconstruction speed was much faster than that of the Source God and the Source Demon. However, he did not pursue speed but deliberately slowed down his progress, ultimately taking a hundred years to complete his reconstruction. At this time, although his realm was still that of a Saint, unchanged, his foundation was already extraordinary.

In terms of the results at this stage, the Source Demon has a higher starting point than the Source God and Source Demon.

During these hundred years, Yuan Gui did not simply cultivate in asceticism. He also traveled in the Netherworld for a period of time, enriching his own origin by absorbing various special alien sources born in the Netherworld.

Then, Yuan Gui no longer hesitated and embarked on the ancient star road, heading towards the human universe that he had always been curious about.

Both the Source Gods and Source Demons have discovered that if they want to progress quickly, they need to absorb the Source from all over the human universe as a medium to analyze the laws of heaven and earth within, thereby greatly accelerating their enlightenment. This is a method of auxiliary cultivation that only special holy spirits like them can possess.

There aren't many passages between the Underworld and the outside world, and the Ancient Star Road is undoubtedly the route that connects the most star fields, which can save the Source Ghost a lot of time.

As for the prodigies among them, Yuan Gui has already learned from the Underworld Emperor that in this life, because he is shrouded in the shadow of the Frost Emperor, the intensity of the competition is not that great. Therefore, at least in the previous Starry Sky Ancient Road, and even before the Ultimate Ancient Road, Yuan Gui probably has no rivals.

Therefore, competing with various prodigies to improve himself was something Yuan Gui had to postpone. His primary goal on this journey was to comprehend the Dao through the source. Due to his unique appearance, Yuan Gui was initially mistaken for some kind of special beast. It wasn't until he made an unexpected move that other cultivators realized that Yuan Gui also came from the underworld and was a holy spirit-like being similar to the source gods and source demons.

Including the Source Ghost, the Underworld has already produced three such special beings with boundless potential and distinct characteristics. Could it be that the Underworld has mastered some method to mass-produce such special beings with the potential to attain enlightenment?
However, this thought only flashed through his mind, and no one believed it. After all, both the Source God and the Source Demon had attained enlightenment, and this Source Ghost's performance was even stronger than his two predecessors.

If the underworld truly possessed such methods, it would practically be capable of creating artificial emperors. With such abilities, the human world and the entire universe would become the underworld's backyard, which clearly indicates they lack such capabilities.

Moreover, even though becoming an emperor is no longer the ultimate goal of cultivation, the value of such a title is still extremely high, and such individuals are absolutely impossible to mass-produce.

Although Yuan Gui had anticipated these disturbances, he didn't care and focused all his energy on his cultivation.

As time went by, Yuan Gui's reputation grew stronger and stronger, and he gradually became one of the most promising geniuses on the ancient starry road, and also the most terrifying genius, without exception.

After all, his curse power was too strange and powerful. Those who were affected were covered in red hair, in a daze, and unable to even maintain their sense of self.

Fortunately, Yuan Gui was not particularly bloodthirsty. He only used the tragic scene to intimidate others and avoid any further disturbances. Therefore, there were not many cultivators who were actually killed or completely corrupted by the curse.

And so, Yuan Gui, carrying his infamous reputation, marched forward until he finally arrived at the final ancient road. At this time, he was only three hundred years old, yet he had already reached the Great Saint Realm and had long since reached the Forbidden Domain.

Without a doubt, among all the prodigies of this generation, Yuan Gui is the most amazing one, even more outstanding than the Yuan God and Yuan Demon who successfully proved their Dao before.

Over the next four hundred years, Yuan Gui maintained an extremely terrifying suppressive force, making rapid progress in the Great Saint Realm and eventually successfully breaking through to the Quasi-Emperor level.

At this moment, before the ultimate ancient road was even finished, Yuan Gui had already become the final victor on the ultimate ancient road, and his path to enlightenment was virtually unstoppable.

Yuan Gui wasn't particularly excited about this. His goal had always been to go further based on the foundation laid by Yuan Shen and Yuan Mo. Therefore, his only opponents were his two older brothers. There was nothing to be happy about in surpassing others.

So he continued on his own journey, traveling throughout the human world and the universe, perfecting his Dao and Dharma, and constantly improving his cultivation.

Finally, when Yuan Gui was two thousand years old, he successfully completed his accumulation and made his final leap, triggering the great tribulation of enlightenment.

Compared to the four thousand years of the Origin God and the three thousand years of the Source Demon, the time he needed to reach the stage of enlightenment was indeed shorter than that of his two elder brothers, and his achievements were even greater. This means that the Source Demon's cultivation speed was indeed significantly faster than theirs.
