Shrouding the Heavens: Simultaneous Transmigration, Heavenly Emperor's Stern Father

Ye Chen was completely unaware of the discussions outside.

His consciousness was immersed in the mist of the Dao Palace's secret realm, following his instincts and intuition.

The Dao Palace Secret Realm is divided into five heavens, corresponding to the five divine treasures of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

The cultivation of the Five Organs has a specific order, but there are no fixed rules; it all depends on individual choice.

First cultivate the spirit within the heart, which can lead to enlightenment and improved understanding; first cultivate the spirit within the lungs, which can allow one to breathe in the energy of heaven and earth and possess abundant magical power... Each path has its advantages.

Ye Chen had already made his decision.

He chose the Lung Divine Treasury... This is the divine path that connects to spiritual energy. Cultivating this treasury first will make his magical power more profound and greatly increase the speed at which he can absorb and exhale the essence of heaven and earth.

For him, who was about to go out to gain experience and needed to absorb a large amount of source energy, having abundant magical power was his greatest advantage.

As the fog dissipates, the vital essence of the lungs is revealed.

It was a lotus bud about to bloom, but unlike the fiery passion of the heart's spiritual treasure, the lotus in the lungs' spiritual treasure presented a pure white.

The petals are crystal clear, as if they were formed from the purest essence.

At the center of the lotus sits a vague, nascent deity, awaiting enlightenment.

Ye Chen poured all the pure divine power from the Sea of ​​Bitterness into the lotus flower.

The lotus blossoms with nine petals, unfolding in succession, and the nascent form of the deity solidifies at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, his extremely vigorous vitality and essence exploded, and his physical body, magical power, and primordial spirit underwent a transformation at the same moment.

He officially entered the first level of the Dao Palace.

But the changes did not end there.

At the very moment Ye Chen broke through, in the boundless dark starry sky deep within his consciousness... in all the heavens and earth, a star suddenly lit up.

The eighth star.

The figure of Ye Chen from the novel "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality" is visible among the stars.

A beam of light shot out from the stars, piercing through the void barrier of the heavens!

It appeared directly within Ye Chen's body and merged with the newly formed nascent deity within the Lung God Treasury.

Ye Chen's consciousness suddenly gained another perspective.

He "saw" himself.

Not through two eyes, but through another pair of eyes... The deity seated cross-legged in the lotus of the Lung God is looking up.

Ye Chen's consciousness in the world of "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" exists simultaneously in his physical body and in a deity.

"This is……"

With a slight thought from Ye Chen, the deity began to circulate the scriptures on its own, actively absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.

Even more shocking is that the deities are not only cultivating, but also deducing secret techniques...

He fused the Taoist scriptures and profound methods that Ye Chen had learned with fragments of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, and within a few breaths, he evolved a rudimentary yet complete breathing technique.

This is no ordinary technique!

The aura of the Lung God was slowly increasing through self-cultivation, and it was actually cultivating the Qi Refining, Foundation Building, and Core Formation system from the novel "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality"!

Ye Chen was stunned.

He recalled the records in the Dao Palace chapter of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art...

Those who cultivate this skill must devour the five divine beings one by one in the secret realm of the Dao Palace, using the essence of the gods to strengthen themselves.

This is the core cultivation method of the Ruthless lineage, and also an important reason why this technique is called "Demonic Technique".

But now, his lung deity has undergone some kind of unprecedented mutation...

He was not an object to be devoured, but became an independent "divine self" capable of active cultivation.

"It's like there's another me cultivating, but I'm still cultivating the mortal methods."

Ye Chen muttered to himself, an overwhelming tremor surging within him.

Each deity is an independent cultivation unit.

Five deities mean five "divine selves" cultivating simultaneously, with five different cultivation systems attached to them, making their efficiency more than five times that of other cultivators.

Moreover, as the Divine Realm advances, the power of the deities will continue to grow. At that time, when the five deities attack simultaneously, their combat power will far surpass that of cultivators at the same realm.

"I have never heard of anyone whose Dao Palace deity is so miraculous; it is not even recorded in the Devouring Heaven Demon Art."

Ye Chen initially thought that the Devouring Heaven Demon Art was a complete fusion after devouring the source, but after practicing it, he realized that it was actually a "combination".

The origins were only temporarily gathered together, not truly integrated. The distinct colors of the origins that fell when the Holy Son of Yaoguang was injured are clear evidence of this.

The demonic art follows the path of "controlling all with one," forcibly dominating external sources with its own origin as the main force, and piecing together an acquired chaotic body.

"They've really put in a lot of effort to improve..."

The Devouring Heaven Demon Art is like assembling porcelain; it naturally has flaws. The chaotic body cultivated in this way is full of cracks, not harmonious or perfect, making it difficult for later cultivators to attain enlightenment.

Countless sources of origin remain undigested, constantly clashing with one's own origins, making one extremely prone to madness—this is the source of demonic power and demonic nature.

The ruthless man's decision to abandon his demonic body and refine it into the Devouring Demon Jar in his later years was a wise one.

"Does he really think that practicing demonic arts will make him the next ruthless person?"

A ruthless person cannot be replicated. She was able to achieve enlightenment with the Devouring Demon Technique entirely because of her exceptional talent. She is the only one like her in all the ages.

Even so, after becoming emperor, he still suffered greatly from the conflict of his origins.

With the same talent, cultivating the Daoist scriptures might lead to reaching the Quasi-Emperor level, but cultivating the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and devouring everything could very likely result in dying from the conflict of origins at the Great Power level or even earlier.

"If the Devouring Heaven Demon Art is so formidable, how can the Undying Heaven Art surpass it?"

The relationship between Heavenly Skills and Demonic Skills is not insignificant. Among the Ruthless lineage, those who are truly valued cultivate the "Undying Heavenly Skill," while those who cultivate Demonic Skills can be inheritors or "food."

Heavenly skills are specifically designed to counter demonic skills, and they feed on demonic skills.

The Dragon Pattern Peak Master's easy transfer of demonic arts to Ye Chen was certainly not out of kindness...

Where can you find a good person among those who cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art?

"However, that's not necessarily true. If a demonic cultivator is strong enough, it's not impossible for them to devour the Undying Heavenly Technique user..."

Ye Chen was well aware of the hidden dangers of demonic arts, yet he still chose to use them.

Because issues such as fundamental conflict, incompatibility, and being restrained by divine power do not apply to him at all...

He simultaneously traversed countless heavens, merging with all other realms and devouring their origins, without any hidden dangers.

If one can truly find a way to integrate all origins and forge a perfect chaotic body, this is something even the ruthless man couldn't achieve back then.

"The unfinished work of a ruthless man will surely be completed by someone who comes after him..."

Cultivating the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and achieving a flawless chaotic body is the Great Emperor realm. This is the most perfect version of himself that Ruthless Man dreamed of all his life, but in the end, he failed to achieve it.

Ye Chen, however, might be able to achieve it.

"From this perspective, the Devouring Heaven Demon Art is not a demonic art to me, but a celestial art that leads directly to the Great Emperor level!"

"They all borrow from each other. Even a ruthless person with such talent referenced the 'Transcending Tribulation Heavenly Art' when perfecting the Devouring Heaven Demon Art..."

Ye Chen speculated that when Ruthless Man perfected the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, he referenced more than just the Tribulation Crossing Heaven Art; there must have been other sources involved.

One tomb raiders steal treasure, the other tomb raiders steal corpses...

In truth, that unscrupulous Taoist priest was the true patriarch of the Devouring Heaven lineage.

Only upon closer inspection could the full picture be seen. As Ye Chen pondered, he realized that beneath all the seemingly ordinary events of the past lay profound causes and effects. Every sip and every bite was preordained.

The reason I couldn't understand it before was because I was standing too close and too far away.

Only by getting close and wading through it yourself can you appreciate the subtle changes.

"Finally, we've entered the Dao Palace Secret Realm..."

Ye Chen stood up and suddenly recited:

"The sea of ​​suffering is boundless and the years are long, but today the rosy clouds rise and illuminate the sky."

The divine bridge is broken, leading to the immortal path; the Daoist palace is opened, revealing the jade tower.

The five elements converge to swallow the sun and moon, and the three flowers gather at the top to unfold the seasons.

From this day forward, I will be free from the suffering of reincarnation, laughing and roaming freely across the universe.
