Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 848 Practice
After hearing Xuanxiao Quasi-Emperor's words, Li Er composed himself and said, "The Netherworld? That's true. They value the method of raising corpses and the Reincarnation Seal highly and have a deep understanding of them. The Reincarnation Seal in my body is different from the normal Reincarnation Seal. If I can get their guidance, I will indeed have a greater chance of exploring the truth."

"Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist Xuanxiao."

Emperor Xuanxiao sighed, "We are unwilling to believe that the Celestial Venerable of Morality will truly pass away, which is why we hope that you, sir, can uncover the truth."

"However, in any case, you have a great relationship with the Moral Celestial, so we can be considered family. Now that we've finished with the heavy topics, it's time to relax."

Therefore, Emperor Xuanxiao brought Li Er, who had determined his next target, to the core area of ​​the Mighty Bull Demon Clan and treated him with the highest honors, thus holding a grand event.

Thanks to Li Er's current cultivation level of the sixth level of Quasi-Emperor and his performance in making the geniuses of his generation admit defeat, the cultivators of the Mighty Bull Demon Clan naturally dared not disrespect him, so the atmosphere of this grand event was quite harmonious.

Afterwards, all the quasi-emperors of the Mighty Bull Demon Clan came to discuss the Dao and the Dao with Li Er, and held an exchange meeting.

Although it was called an exchange meeting, Li Er quickly won over all the quasi-emperors of the Mighty Bull Demon Clan and turned the meeting into his own sermon.

This situation was actually deliberately created by Xuanxiao Quasi-Emperor.

As early as the ancient star of the primordial era, he saw that Li Er was not only very good at explaining the extremely profound and complex Dao in a simple and easy-to-understand way, allowing more people to naturally comprehend it, but also that the special Dao aura he possessed was like the legendary ancient tea tree or Bodhi tree of enlightenment, which could calm people's minds and greatly increase their chances of enlightenment.

Therefore, for Li Er, who has now reached the sixth level of Quasi-Emperor, giving a sermon in the Mighty Bull Demon Clan would naturally be very beneficial.

After this grand event, all the cultivators of the Mighty Bull Demon Clan held Li Er in high esteem.

Later, the Mighty Bull Demon Clan even passed on their clan's complete version of the Daoist scriptures and the secret technique of One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones to Li Er.

Under these circumstances, Li Er's cultivation began to advance by leaps and bounds once again. His exploration of his own origins was also part of his cultivation goals, and after achieving certain results, his Dao heart naturally became more complete.

Clearly, such a state of mind can make his cultivation process smoother.

After a brief stay, Li Er bid farewell to the enthusiastic Mighty Bull Demon Clan cultivators and embarked on his journey once more. This time, his chosen destination was the Underworld.

Although he had fallen far behind, Qingniu did not stay in the tribe to become a high-ranking member and gain power and resources. Instead, he resolutely chose to continue following Li Er.

Soon enough, the man and the ox returned to the starry sky.

Although he might learn more about his origins from the underworld, and the underworld was extremely far from the ancestral star of the Mighty Bull Demon Clan, Li Er still felt no sense of urgency and maintained a very steady pace of progress, constantly engaging in various forms of enlightenment and cultivation along the way.

And so time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another two hundred years had passed. Li Er continued to make rapid progress, and at the age of nine hundred, he reached the peak of the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm, becoming a Daoist on the verge of enlightenment, and had already begun accumulating for his ultimate leap.

Clearly, this speed was the result of his natural evolution, but it was astonishingly rapid, enough to drive countless cultivators to despair even without any means to increase it. Under Li Er's tutelage, the Green Ox's cultivation also soared, reaching the sixth level of Quasi-Emperor, making him one of the most formidable experts in the human universe.

At this moment, Li Er finally arrived in the underworld.

At first, the Underworld Emperor mistakenly believed that Li Er was an incarnation of the Moral Celestial Venerable, an attempt to explore some new direction. However, after noticing the Samsara Seal within him, the Underworld Emperor realized something was amiss.

Thanks to the accumulation of countless years in the Netherworld, the Netherworld Emperor had an extremely clear understanding of the various characteristics of the Reincarnation Seal. Therefore, he could naturally see that this Reincarnation Seal was different from all the spiritual ancient corpses and corpse emperors that had been cultivated in the Netherworld.

This Reincarnation Seal contains no fragments of primordial spirit, and even the laws of the Great Dao are almost nonexistent, yet it is a life form truly formed from an ancient corpse.

After careful observation, the Underworld Emperor finally understood the truth, realizing that Li Er was likely an unexpected product of the transformation of the Moral Celestial Venerable in one of his lifetimes.

The Underworld Emperor hesitated for a moment before deciding against revealing the truth, but ultimately abandoned the idea. He decided to leave such matters to the Supreme Lord of Morality to tell, or let Laozi discover the truth himself; he would then refrain from interfering further.

Therefore, when Li Er visited the Underworld, the Underworld Emperor did not personally appear to meet him, but only instructed the various branches of the Underworld to respect Li Er to the greatest extent possible and to meet his conditions as much as possible.

Therefore, Li Er was able to meet the masters of the various lineages of the underworld, and thus travel freely in the netherworld, thereby comprehending all the mysteries about the Reincarnation Seal and the spiritual communication of ancient corpses, and realizing that the Reincarnation Seal within his body was so extraordinary.

However, these signs indicate that the ideas of those quasi-emperors of the Mighty Bull Demon Clan were correct; he was indeed not a spirit formed from the ancient corpse of the Moral Celestial Venerable, or at least not entirely so.

Judging from the special characteristics of the Reincarnation Seal, its predecessor was at most an empty shell, and most likely it did not have a primordial spirit at all, or even a Dao Fruit.

Perhaps he is actually a byproduct of the transformation of the Celestial Venerable of Morality in one of his previous lives, or perhaps the Celestial Venerable of Morality condensed and transformed his essence into a celestial embryo when he became an immortal, and the mortal embryo he left behind became sentient and thus he came into being. This could explain all his abnormalities.

However, Li Er truly had no way to find any further evidence to uncover the truth. Perhaps, when he returns to the ancient primordial planet in the future, he might find some clues in the cave that gave him birth.

But now, Li Er has decided to pause his exploration of the past and focus on his final sprint, continuing his search after successfully attaining enlightenment.

After all, once this veil was lifted, Li Er's exploration of his own origins reached a new stage, his state of mind became more complete, and his cultivation naturally became smoother.

Of course, in return, Li Er also preached and expounded the Dao in the underworld, trying his best to help the cultivators of the underworld to comprehend the Dao more easily, thus making a significant contribution to them.

Although Li Er's path and laws differ greatly from those of the Underworld, the special aura he possesses is enough to bring immense benefits to Underworld cultivators.

After that, Li Er left the underworld and began to focus on his own cultivation, thus embarking on the path to enlightenment.
