Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 822 Second Generation
Within the endless sea of ​​thunder, the aura of the Origin Ghost's Great Dao grew stronger and stronger, and began to continuously combine with the Heavenly Heart Mark. The myriad Daos of Heaven and Earth moved accordingly, protecting his Dao and Law, and finally condensed his own Imperial Dao Fruit.

After Emperor Sui, another emperor appeared.

Because the Source God, Source Demon, and Source Ghost are of the same lineage and follow similar paths, the former paves the way for the latter, making the latter stronger than the former.

Up to the initial stage of attaining enlightenment, the Source Demon has achieved the highest level, followed by the Source Monster, and finally the Source God. However, the Source God was the first to explore the path for them, making it the most difficult, so their final achievements are still unknown.

Like the Source Demon, Source Ghost and Source God did not adopt a new name for themselves, but continued to use the name Source Ghost.

After attaining enlightenment, Yuan Gui briefly adjusted his breathing to fully stabilize his state before returning to the Underworld.

Upon sensing the aura of the Source Ghost, the Underworld Emperor came to greet him. However, looking at the Source Ghost's hairy appearance and the eerie and ominous aura it exuded, he couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, the Source Ghost was able to control itself and did not go on a killing spree. Otherwise, anyone who saw it would think it was some kind of invincible demon.

After Yuan Gui approached, the Underworld Emperor said, "Congratulations to Junior Brother Yuan Gui on successfully attaining enlightenment."

Yuan Gui also cupped his hands and said, "Senior brother, I have not failed you."

Even after attaining enlightenment, the Underworld Emperor, who had been an Earth Immortal for over a million years, remained unfathomable in his eyes, but he was clearly still quite far from becoming an Immortal. Although the ultimate goal of an Earth Immortal is a Quasi-Immortal King comparable to a Mortal Immortal, this also shows that there is still a great deal of room for improvement after becoming an enlightened being.

After all, whether in the human universe or in a strange world, the so-called immortals are all immortals in the mortal world.

After entering the Netherworld, the Netherworld Emperor said, "Can you feel it? The laws of the Netherworld, after being modified by the Source God and Source Demon, and further evolved by me, have become much more compatible with you."

"Perhaps you have the potential to activate the laws of the underworld through the Netherworld Scripture, thereby making progress."

Yuan Gui naturally longed for this core inheritance of the underworld: "Please teach me, senior brother."

After the Underworld Emperor imparted the Underworld Scripture to him, Yuan Gui couldn't help but feel that his affinity with the Underworld had indeed increased significantly. In that case, perhaps he really had a chance to make significant progress through this.

Then, the Underworld Emperor added, "I obtained the Field Technique from Xuanwu Emperor, a disciple of Lingbao Heavenly Venerable. It is an upgraded version of the Source Technique, but it is more difficult and more complex. Source Gods and Source Demons all use it to improve their Source Techniques."

Yuan Gui said, "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother."

Then, Yuan Gui began his own cultivation. In the blink of an eye, fourteen thousand years had passed.

Although both the Source God and the Source Demon have profound foundations, their lifespans are only around 15,000 years. However, the Source Ghost is different. He stands on the foundation of these two and surpasses them, so his lifespan in his first life reached 16,000 years.

This lifespan is undoubtedly longer than that of ordinary Dao Prodigies. It can only be said that the continuous expansion and accumulation of the Source God and Source Demon are indeed of great significance. It played a full role during the Source Ghost era, allowing him to make extraordinary progress.

During this period, Yuan Gui, like Yuan Shen and Yuan Mo, left his legacy in the Netherworld, allowing the Yuan Shen Temple to simultaneously contain the legacies of all three of them.

Of course, the source techniques passed down by these three are difficult to spread widely. After all, even geniuses with the potential to attain enlightenment may not necessarily have talent in source techniques. But the difference is that the source ghost's curse technique still has a lot of room for dissemination. There are many geniuses in the underworld who can learn a part of it. Although they cannot be as powerful as him, it is enough to be a powerful supernatural ability.

This inheritance gave the Underworld Emperor a headache. If all the cultivators in the Underworld were to be covered in long hair and use the power of curses, the Underworld's whitewashed image over the years would inevitably decline again.

Fortunately, although the art of curses is easier to learn than the art of source magic, source ghosts have innate talent bonuses, which others do not have, so it is not so easy for them to learn this art.

Furthermore, the Source Ghost also cultivated the Netherworld Scripture, and with the help of its mysteries, using Source Techniques and Domain Arts, he and the Netherworld Emperor once again transformed the Netherworld. With the Source Ghost present, the remaining evil forces within the Netherworld were finally completely purged. Both the Netherworld Emperor and the Source Ghost made significant progress in their cultivation during this process.

In this situation, other life forms in the underworld also have a better environment for cultivation.

Aside from their various forms of cultivation in the underworld, Source Demons, like Source Gods and Source Demons, roam the human universe, devouring the essence of the Source to aid their own enlightenment, leaving behind legends of Source Demons in the human universe.

However, after years of accumulation and development, both the Source God and the Source Demon have gathered a very stable power of faith, which is due to the legends they left behind.

Now, Yuan Gui has also left behind his own legend. The three of them are now bound together, and in the future, there will likely still be a gathering of faith power.

To prevent this power of faith from dissipating, the Source Demon specially crafted three statues in the Source Temple, each bearing this power of faith.

Thus, Genki's life in this world can be considered complete.

However, unlike the Source God and Source Demon, the Source Ghost did not use the Netherworld ...

Having obtained the insights of the Source God and Source Demon regarding the path to the future, Source Ghost had long ago determined his future direction and placed his hopes on transformation. Since both methods could potentially work for him, Source Ghost did not consume them prematurely.

And so, Genki swallowed the fruit of the Tree of Life and lived a second life.

After the Source Ghost initiated its rebirth, the Underworld Emperor said, "Junior Brother, are you trying to explore the method of transformation?"

Source Ghost said, "Yes, Source God has thoroughly studied the essence of our kind of Holy Spirits; Source Demon has explored on this basis, collecting the characteristics of several other Holy Spirits, hoping to use them to transform and make his special Holy Spirit body more perfect."

"With their experience and accumulated knowledge, I was able to save a lot of time and explore the possibility of evolving my Holy Spirit body."

"But this method is extremely difficult and may not be successful so easily. So I will have to wait a while for these two methods of prolonging life. Perhaps I will need to use them later."

“My two elder brothers, the Source God and the Source Demon, laid such a foundation for me, so I must strive to do what they could not. In this way, after going to the strange world, I can use this method to help them make progress.”
