Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 832 Return to Kunlun Sacred Realm

After successfully attaining enlightenment, the Emperor experienced a significant improvement, reaching a new peak where he was virtually unmatched in the mortal universe. It can be said that at this point, the Emperor was exceptionally outstanding among all those who had attained enlightenment throughout history.

For others, reaching the Emperor level is already something to be very proud of, but as a disciple of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, the Emperor knows very well everything about the Immortals of the Mortal World, and also knows that the road ahead is still very long. Therefore, this stage is just a new starting point.

Moreover, after successfully attaining enlightenment, the Emperor knew that in his first life he was ultimately unable to catch up with the most powerful Undying Emperor and God Emperor in the first life, and he was probably not even as good as the Emperor Sui, only reaching the level of the Primordial Saint Emperor.

Although the Emperor felt no resentment or regret, he couldn't help but find it somewhat unbelievable. During his 1,600 years of cultivation, the Emperor believed that his physique, enhanced by the various methods of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, was absolutely top-notch, no weaker than the Chaos Body; and he had done his cultivation as perfectly as possible, finding absolutely nothing that could be improved in his own eyes.

Even under such circumstances, he still couldn't reach a higher level, which clearly shows that his talent was not enough.

After stabilizing his aura, the Emperor did not linger in the human universe for long, but went directly to the ancient primordial star.

After all, the emperor was born to seek the Dao and forge his own invincible path; later, he learned about the development of the Immortal Realm and beyond, so even his ambition to establish an immortal dynasty in the human universe and thus go down in history had vanished without a trace.

Therefore, in the mortal universe, the emperor had nothing worth paying attention to or lingering over. So, after stabilizing his own state, he decided to return directly to the Kunlun Sacred Realm to meet his master, the Primordial Celestial Venerable, and begin exploring his path to immortality as much as possible.

Even if he couldn't become a mortal immortal, he, the emperor, would strive to reach the pinnacle of the true immortal realm. And the path of transformation he would take in the future was his most important direction at present.

The emperor also missed the Kunlun Sacred Realm, which he had been away from for a long time. Because he had been sleeping in the Kunlun Sacred Realm for a long time, he naturally carried the aura of the Kunlun Sacred Realm in his body. Therefore, he quickly crossed the endless starry sky and found the immortal mountain.

However, at first glance, it appeared to be just an ordinary mountain peak. Although its terrain was peculiar, it was not particularly magical. If the emperor had not been able to clearly perceive the existence of this sacred mountain through the Kunlun Sacred Realm aura inherent in his own being, he probably would not have been able to discern any difference.

This mountain peak is actually an illusion set up by Yuanshi Tianzun. Although the mountain peak does exist, it is merely an outer shell. To access the true Kunlun Sacred Realm within, unless Yuanshi Tianzun himself is willing, even cultivators of the Emperor level would be completely unable to detect anything amiss.

Seemingly sensing the emperor's aura, the mountain trembled slightly, and in an instant, the world changed, revealing its true form, shrouded in immortal energy. The energy subtly intertwined to form an immortal cauldron, seemingly capable of melting down the heavens and encompassing all realms.

Inside the Immortal Cauldron is a colossal immortal mountain that reaches the heavens and the earth, and even contains a vast and boundless world. At its core, one can vaguely see a towering Jianmu tree, which continuously expands and evolves this world.

This was perhaps the first time the emperor had directly observed this sacred mountain from the outside world, and its magnificent and splendid layout immediately made him feel dazed.

However, he quickly regained his composure and entered the Kunlun Sacred Realm.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable had long sensed the Emperor's attainment of enlightenment, so he ended his seclusion and allowed the Emperor to enter after the Emperor arrived.

The fact that the Emperor has achieved what he has now, which is no less than that of the Primordial Holy Emperor, is already enough to make the Primordial Heavenly Venerable feel gratified.

Upon returning to the Kunlun Sacred Realm after a long absence, the Emperor immediately felt a sense of comfort from the overwhelming immortal aura, feeling as if he had returned to his hometown.

He knew this was because, during his later gestation within this sacred mountain, the Primordial Celestial Venerable had subtly transformed and strengthened him using the laws of this place. Following the towering Jianmu tree, the Emperor arrived at the core of the Kunlun Sacred Realm and met the Primordial Celestial Venerable once more.

He immediately bowed deeply and said, "Master, your disciple has returned."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable said, “No need for formalities. Now you have successfully attained enlightenment and have transcended the framework of my scriptures, forging your own path. Very good.”

Upon receiving praise from Yuanshi Tianzun, the Emperor was deeply moved: "Master, you flatter me. Without you, I am afraid I would never have been able to achieve such accomplishments."

After truly attaining enlightenment, the Emperor naturally understood very well that without the guidance and training of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, even if he had succeeded in attaining enlightenment, he wouldn't have been significantly different from other enlightened beings. Therefore, he was truly grateful and revered this master.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Now that you have attained the Dao and become an emperor, what are your plans for the next step?"

The emperor said, "Although the hope of becoming a mortal immortal is not great, I am willing to try my best and live a few more times in the mortal universe."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable nodded and said, "That's good. I have collected and organized all the transformation methods that can be used on the path to immortality in the mortal world. You can study them with peace of mind."

"However, these laws cover a very wide range of topics, so you must not go down the wrong path."

The Emperor said, "Although there are many methods of transformation, I will definitely start with myself and will not force anyone."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and said, "Since you know this, then I am relieved. You should cultivate diligently, and you can ask me any questions you may have."

"By the way, I have temporarily borrowed a humanoid immortality elixir from Fellow Daoist Wuji. It may be useful to you. You must treat it carefully and not be negligent."

The emperor cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master."

Subsequently, the emperor traveled deep into the Kunlun Sacred Realm and found the humanoid elixir of immortality.

As for the transformation methods used later, the Emperor's main focus was naturally on the Immortal Essence of Immortality. This path was indeed the most replicable and the least distinctive. Most cultivators could gain some insights from it, but ultimately, very few could succeed.

Secondly, there is the Kunlun Immortal Scripture, which is derived from the current laws of the Kunlun Sacred Realm. Although the Emperor and this wondrous land itself are not very compatible, under the various methods of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, his origin also carries the laws of this immortal mountain, so the compatibility has increased significantly. Therefore, he has the hope of using this to achieve a transformation.

As for the last one, it naturally involves starting with the elixir of immortality in human form, comprehending its internal laws to rejuvenate one's physique, and making it stronger and more perfect.
