Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 845 Mount
Emperor Xuanxiao was not shocked by the powerful and exquisite supernatural abilities displayed by the Great Sage Li Er, nor was he shocked that the seed of enlightenment that his clan had been carefully nurtured was defeated without a single move.

In fact, from the moment he arrived at this place and saw Li Er, he was completely shocked and thus fell into a daze.

However, at that time, Emperor Lingqing was overjoyed and thinking that Li Er would get revenge, so he did not notice anything unusual.

Seeing Xuanxiao Quasi-Emperor in such a state, Lingqing Quasi-Emperor couldn't help but become even more worried, but before he could speak to mediate, the other party raised a question first.

"Who is this person?"

Lingqing Quasi-Emperor did not sense any hostility from these words, so he felt relieved and said, "His name is Li Er, and his origins are unknown. All that is known is that he was born with an unusual appearance, and even in his youth, he looked so old. Judging from his previous performance, I'm afraid many Dao-proving individuals at the same time were quite different from him."

He then went on to recount various details about Li Er, hoping to use Li Er's extraordinary performance to make the Xuanxiao Quasi-Emperor realize his terrifying nature and thus abandon his revenge.

After learning all this, the Xuanxiao Quasi-Emperor couldn't help but say, "In that case, he is simply a being descended from heaven."

Lingqing Quasi-Emperor said somewhat cautiously, "Yes, although the Great Sage of the Green Ox is a genius, Li Er is a true celestial being."

Xuanxiao Quasi-Emperor said, "Fellow Daoist Lingqing, do you know that the most core secret of my clan is that we possess a portrait of the Moral Celestial Venerable drawn by our ancestors?"

Emperor Lingqing said, "I have heard about this matter before."

The portrait of the Moral Celestial Venerable of the Mighty Bull Demon Clan is an absolute secret, and outsiders can never see it, which is why Quasi-Emperor Lingqing has always been quite regretful.

After all, the Celestial Venerable of Morality was the master of their ancestor and one of the three Dao Ancestors of the ancient star of the primordial world. Knowing where his true form was but being unable to see him was extremely distressing.

The sudden mention of this matter by the Xuanxiao Quasi-Emperor caused the Lingqing Quasi-Emperor to instantly shift his focus from the matter of the Great Sage Qingniu and begin to pay attention to the extremely abnormal behavior of the Xuanxiao Quasi-Emperor from the very beginning.

Thus, Lingqing Quasi-Emperor couldn't help but have an extremely terrifying idea.

Emperor Xuanxiao sighed, "It's so similar, so similar that I'm starting to doubt that it's him."

Lingqing Quasi-Emperor took a slight breath and tentatively asked, "Fellow Daoist Xuanxiao, are you saying that Li Er resembles, resembles, resembles the Moral Celestial Venerable?"

Emperor Xuanxiao finally regained his composure and said, "It's not just similar, it's almost exactly the same."

As a quasi-emperor of the Mighty Bull Demon Clan, he naturally had access to the portrait and knew the true appearance of the Moral Celestial Venerable. And clearly, Li Er's appearance was identical to that of the Moral Celestial Venerable, even their temperaments were remarkably similar.

In fact, the Moral Celestial Venerable that the ancestor of the Mighty Bull Demon Clan saw was walking in the body of Li Er's predecessor, the Bodhi Divine Embryo, which is why there was such a high degree of similarity.

If it were the true form of the Celestial Venerable of Morality, then although he would still resemble Li Er, his aura would be slightly different. After all, the Daoist charm emanating from the Bodhi Tree was indeed too obvious, while the Daoist charm of the Celestial Venerable of Morality himself did not match it.

Upon hearing Xuanxiao Quasi-Emperor's words, Lingqing Quasi-Emperor was momentarily stunned, staring intently at Li Er, unable to utter a single word.

After a long silence, he finally said in a hoarse voice, "Fellow Daoist Xuanxiao, could it be that he is..."

Xuanxiao Quasi-Emperor interrupted Lingqing Quasi-Emperor, saying, "How can we presume to speculate about the Heavenly Venerable's affairs? These mysteries will be solved after he attains enlightenment, but perhaps it's beyond our understanding." Lingqing Quasi-Emperor swallowed his own speculation and remained silent. He asked, "What about the Great Sage Green Ox?"

Emperor Xuanxiao said with a hint of joy, "It may be his good fortune to be able to follow this Li Er. Let him go."

So the two prospective emperors said no more and simply watched everything quietly.

After the sermon was completed, many of these cultivators fell into a state of enlightenment, while Li Er himself stood up and bowed to the quasi-emperors who were hidden in the void.

Although Li Er was only at the initial stage of the Great Sage realm, his extraordinary spiritual perception still allowed him to sense the location of these quasi-emperors.

Then, Li Er said to Li Guo, "I am leaving now. You should guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and cultivate diligently according to your own ideas. We will meet again in the future."

As he spoke, Li Er also taught Li Guo the scriptures he had created based on various ancient texts he had obtained from the ancient star.

Li Guo cupped his hands and said, "Disciple will remember Master's teachings."

After saying this, Li Er tore through the void, sent Li Guo away, and ensured his safety before heading towards the entrance of the ancient star road of the prehistoric star, namely Hangu Pass.

The Great Sage Green Ox, who was in the midst of enlightenment, immediately ended this extremely rare state and chased after him, saying, "Master, don't go, wait for me."

Li Er did not turn around, maintaining his high-speed flight, and said, "Fellow Daoist, our cultivation levels are equal, and we are of the same age. It is not appropriate for me to be your master. Please return."

While giving chase, the Great Sage Green Ox said, "No, I keep my word. I said I would be your disciple and follower, and I can't go back on my word. Otherwise, how can I be a bull in the future?"

Long before it was impressed by Li Er's amazing supernatural powers and Taoist skills, the green ox had a strong intuition that this person would definitely be able to help it reach the pinnacle of life.

Driven by this feeling, the Great Sage Green Ox chose to completely disregard his status and face, and to confront the enemy with an extremely humble attitude, which can definitely be described as having great courage.

The Mighty Bull Demon Clan has always been adept at investing and has an extremely close relationship with the Moral Celestial Venerable. Li Er also has a close relationship with the Moral Celestial Venerable. Therefore, the Green Bull Great Sage's intuition tells him that this is his chance to reach a whole new level, and he must not give it up.

After all, the ancestors of the Mighty Bull Demon Clan were the mounts of the Celestial Venerable of Morality long ago, but their bloodline nearly became extinct. It wasn't until their progenitor possessed a more powerful and stable bloodline and once again became the mount of the Celestial Venerable of Morality that their clan came into being. This relationship is absolutely very close and inseparable.

Therefore, although Li Er was a completely new being, he still couldn't help but feel close to this blue ox. However, due to his status, he still had some reservations.

Just as he was about to speed up his efforts to ask the Great Sage Green Ox for help, a voice came: "Promise him, I will vouch for you, and there will be no trouble afterward."

Li Er was taken aback. He realized that these were the words of the quasi-emperor of the Mighty Bull Demon Clan, but why would this quasi-emperor allow such a thing?

But after thinking it over, Li Er stopped and said, "I agree."

So the Great Sage Green Ox revealed his true form and carried Li Er away into the distance.
