Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 827 Protecting the Way
Even after deducing to this point, Emperor Sui did not give up. Dividing into nine clusters of Dao Fire was the limit he could achieve, but to transform all Daos into fire in this state, to merge all laws into the Chaos Dao Fire, and thus to reunite his true body, would require an unbelievably long time.

Therefore, he needs to find a way to improve efficiency and complete this step faster.

Therefore, Suihuang deduced a method to allow the nine clusters of Dao fire to continuously evolve into myriad laws, and gradually split into more fire seeds, evolving into more Dao and laws.

However, the problem is that after transforming himself into this state, the Fire Emperor only has basic instincts. If he continues to split into more sparks, the final outcome will be uncontrollable. He will most likely completely disintegrate and never be able to reunite.

No matter how he deduced it, nine clusters of Dao Fire seemed to be his limit. As long as it continued to split, he would find it difficult to maintain his own subjectivity.

Therefore, Emperor Sui had no choice but to change his target and approach the problem from other directions. And in the end, Emperor Sui solved the problem.

The solution is actually quite simple: the Fire Scripture, the third mother scripture of the human race created by Emperor Sui.

After deciding to embark on the path of the Human Emperor, Suihuang decided to create a new Mother Scripture for the human race. In the end, he successfully created the Fire Scripture by relying on his unique talent for the laws of fire.

The Fire Scripture is mainly divided into two parts. In addition to explaining the fundamental law of fire so that more people can cultivate a strong and stable foundation, this scripture also contains the secret technique of absorbing the strange fires of heaven and earth to evolve one's own physique.

The immortal fire that was the predecessor of the Fire Emperor gave birth to the Purple Extreme Divine Fire of the Purple Extreme Saint Venerable. The different layers of fire in the Big Dipper Fire Domain, and many other special fires, can all be refined by the Fire Scripture, thereby significantly improving the physical condition of cultivators. However, the higher the level of the fire, the greater the difficulty and danger.

After becoming the human emperor, Suihuang spread the Fire Scripture he created throughout the human race. Today, this scripture may even have a wider reach than the Sun Mother Scripture and the Moon Mother Scripture.

The reason for using the Fire Scripture as a breakthrough point is that the Dao Fire transformed by Emperor Sui is, strictly speaking, the best fire for cultivating the Fire Scripture.

In this way, the Fire Emperor could transform himself into a state with the characteristics of a different kind of fire seed, allowing cultivators among the human race who practiced the Fire Scripture to refine the fire seed he had transformed into and integrate it into his body.

For these humans, this fire is the most powerful strange fire in the human universe, an excellent material for cultivating the Fire Scripture, and can help them become stronger.

For the Fire Emperor, having those who cultivate the Fire Scripture merge with him not only helps him maintain his existence and immortality, but also buys him time to develop all laws. Furthermore, the cultivation of these human cultivators themselves can also accelerate his process of developing all laws.

Of course, the most crucial point is that he cultivates the Fire Scripture and is also a human. These two characteristics are enough to ensure that all the fire seeds he transforms into have a unified nature and will not evolve in different directions, thus making it difficult for them to reunite in the future.

In this way, even if the Fire Emperor splits himself into more Dao Fires, he can still maintain his identity.

During this process, he will transform the most core part of his laws into a flint fire, leaving it in the Wuji Immortal Mountain as the main body. When his merits are complete, the other fires will be recalled one by one, thus achieving the unity of all fires, transforming into the Chaos Fire, and reuniting his true body.

Although the Dao Flame he transformed into could not truly be immortal, it could still exist for a very long time. Even if those cultivators integrated it into their own origin with the Fire Scripture, it could still maintain a certain degree of independence, and after its passing, it could regain its independent state.

As long as the person who merges with his Dao Fire does not attain enlightenment and leaves the human universe, or is annihilated due to unforeseen circumstances, then with the passage of time, the Fire Emperor will be able to complete his cultivation more quickly and thus reshape his true form.

This can be seen as yet another mutually beneficial collaboration between Emperor Sui and the human cultivators, following the transformation through the power of faith. The commotion within Mount Wuji was actually a subtle disturbance caused by Emperor Sui's initial attempt at this method, verifying the feasibility of his idea. However, Emperor Sui quickly halted this process.

Although his idea was very clear, there were still many risks involved in the process. Theoretically, as long as the initial nine Dao Flames were not damaged, he would not have failed, but the annihilation of any of the derived Dao Flames might prevent his Dao Fruit from being perfect.

Furthermore, if some of the Dao Flames become trapped somewhere and cannot return, it may cause problems with his transformation. However, the Fire Emperor in this state does not have sufficient means to prevent such situations from occurring.

Therefore, he needs a protective method to ensure that all the Dao Fires that he continuously generates and differentiates can exist normally, and eventually all of them will merge into one, re-condense his true body, and live out the next life.

The simplest way to protect this path is to find a trustworthy fellow practitioner to keep an eye on it.

After much deliberation, Emperor Sui decided to go and pay homage to the Supreme Heavenly Venerable Wuji and ask him for help.

After all, everyone else is busy with their own cultivation and probably can't spare so much time to pay attention to him; but this Great Celestial Venerable is different. He is too strong, so there is no need to pay special attention to him. Leaving behind a divine power is enough to protect him.

Moreover, the birth of Suihuang was the work of this Great Celestial Venerable; in other words, he was Suihuang's rebirth parent. This old man still needs to be relied upon; there's no other way.

So, Emperor Sui came to the summit of Wuji Immortal Mountain and met with the Wuji Heavenly Venerable again after a long time.

After listening quietly to Suihuang's demonstration and explanation of his transformation method, Liang Yu said, "This method has too many variables. Do you want me to protect you?"

Suihuang said, "Looking across the human universe, I'm afraid only the Great Heavenly Venerable can save me from harm with a single thought. I humbly request the Great Heavenly Venerable's assistance."

Liang Yu said, "Your method is very interesting. I agree. Rest assured, you will transform and I will ensure that the Dao Flame you transform into will be safe and sound."

Emperor Sui was overjoyed: "Thank you, Great Heavenly Venerable, for granting my request."

With Liang Yu backing him up, Emperor Sui felt success was within reach. He immediately began to use the method he had created to continuously decompose and evolve his body, eventually transforming it into a blazing Dao fire.

At the core, a fire shaped like flint took root in the Wuji Immortal Mountain, while the other fires condensed into nine clusters of flames, which dispersed to all corners of the universe.

In the years to come, these nine sparks will be obtained by human cultivators who practice different fire scriptures, and thus continuously differentiate into more sparks, completing the process of transforming all paths into fire.

With a thought, Liang Yu created a field to protect and nurture the core of the Fire Emperor's Firewood Dao Fire. He then immediately unleashed a divine power to lock onto all the Dao Fires that the Fire Emperor was currently generating and would generate in the future. This would not only protect them from being extinguished by various accidents, but would also automatically reclaim them when the Fire Emperor achieved its goal, allowing them to return to the Firewood Dao Fire.

Thus began a completely new stage of cultivation for Emperor Sui.
