Although the Daode Heavenly Venerable did not align with the Heavenly Heart Imprint, his aura of the Great Dao still permeates the entire universe.
A lifespan of over 30,000 years is definitely considered long among the recorded Supreme and Ancient Emperor.
He can no longer live a new Lifetime by taking the Immortal Divine Medicine.
Because he was a spirit communicating with the corpse of the Daode Heavenly Venerable, a newly born soul that had reaffirmed its status as Emperor, this Immortal Divine Medicine was no longer effective against him.
Even if the soul is newly born, the body is the only true origin, and there is an unspeakable mysterious connection between the two. Even if he took several kinds of Immortal Divine Medicine, he still could not live a new Lifetime.
In this era, the lifespans of the Overlord Heavenly Venerable and the Hundun Heavenly Venerable in this Lifetime far exceeded those of the Daode Heavenly Venerable.
Lifetime lifespan is exceptionally long.
Some people have seen the Overlord Heavenly Venerable traveling around in the starry sky, and said that his blood and energy are still vigorous.
As for the mysterious Hundun Heavenly Venerable, he is nowhere to be seen in this world.
Some believe that the Overlord Heavenly Venerable may no longer be the Overlord Heavenly Venerable of yesteryear, or perhaps he is a spirit communicating with a corpse and re-attaining enlightenment.
Because of his immense power, the new souls he created were also exceptionally strong, which is why they remained vibrant and full of life.
Some even say that the Overlord Heavenly Venerable once obtained Longevity Immortal Medicine. The Immortal Divine Medicine of this world could not allow him to live a new Lifetime. Perhaps he had consumed the fruit of the Longevity Immortal Medicine, which is why he has lived so long.
Although everyone knew that they could live a new Lifetime through their own abilities, no one really believed it. They couldn't believe that the Overlord Heavenly Venerable could continue to live all these years without cutting himself.
Of course, these are people with low cultivation levels, such as those Great Saint and Quasi-Emperor.
In the eyes of those Dark Supreme, they certainly knew that the Overlord Heavenly Venerable's Immortal Platform was flawless.
Many people speculate that the Overlord Heavenly Venerable will live for at least another ten thousand years.
Many people were very surprised after hearing this deduction.
This Overlord Heavenly Venerable is incredibly resilient.
Although his suppression of the Great Dao has gradually dissipated, if his strength is sufficient, he can already attempt to prove the Dao.
However, as long as he lives, the impact will still exist. It is already difficult to attain enlightenment, and it is even more difficult now.
Some complain that the Overlord Heavenly Venerable alone cut off the cultivation paths of countless future geniuses.
Xiao Ping'an had certainly heard of this claim, and he scoffed at it.
Without the necessary strength, what good would it do to forcibly prove oneself as an emperor? It would be utterly useless.
Sensing the impending passing of the Daode Heavenly Venerable, Xiao Ping'an frowned and slowly began to deduce the truth.
He quickly took a step and flew into the depths of space.
He came to Flying Immortal Star to visit the Daode Heavenly Venerable was about to pass away.
I originally thought that the Daode Heavenly Venerable would go to Earth to communicate with the spirits of the dead, but I didn't expect that he would choose the Flying Daode Heavenly Venerable Flying Immortal Star instead.
The Overlord Heavenly Venerable descended upon Flying Immortal Star, his terrifying aura permeating the air. Countless powerful figures on the planet trembled, wondering what the Overlord Heavenly Venerable intended to do there.
The news that Overlord Heavenly Venerable had arrived at Flying Immortal Star to visit Daode Heavenly Venerable spread quickly.
No one was particularly surprised when they heard this.
When the Daode Heavenly Venerable was newly proving his Dao, the Overlord Heavenly Venerable Daode Heavenly Venerable protected him and repelled the covetousness of those Dark Supreme.
From then on, the news spread throughout the world that the Daode Heavenly Venerable and the Overlord Heavenly Venerable were friends.
Now that the Daode Heavenly Venerable is dying, it's not surprising that the Overlord Heavenly Venerable has come to see him off on his final journey.
The place chosen by the Daode Heavenly Venerable was eerily quiet, filled with a dense aura of death.
At first glance, it even has an aura somewhat similar to that of the Underworld.
Clearly, the Daode Heavenly Venerable was thinking of the idea of reaching the extreme of death and generating yang from yin.
" Overlord Heavenly Venerable, you've arrived!"
At this time, the Daode Heavenly Venerable had gray hair, was skin and bones, and looked withered and lifeless, as if he would turn into a piece of rotten wood at any moment.
This surprised Xiao Ping'an. The physical body of the Daode Heavenly Venerable was a precious body that had been reincarnated many times. How could this be?
Previously, the Daode Heavenly Venerable had repeatedly sought out the Overlord Heavenly Venerable to discuss profound mysteries, comprehend the secrets of immortality, and explore the Path of Reincarnation, which further solidified his resolve to unify the path of the Nine-Lifetime Reincarnation Seal.
At this moment, the Daode Heavenly Venerable was "about to die," but he had not prepared any treasures for himself. He was still wearing ordinary clothes and had no rare treasures on his body. Apart from the Black-Yellow Pagoda, the weapon of enlightenment, which had turned into an inconspicuous Little Stone and was hanging on his body, he had no other treasures.
Xiao Ping'an said with a smile, " Daode Heavenly Venerable, are you about to die?"
The Daode Heavenly Venerable said, " This Lifetime has come to an end; your life is nearing its end."
"I never imagined that you, Overlord Heavenly Venerable, would still have such vigorous energy. It seems you could easily live for another twenty thousand years..."
"Since you intend to live life after Lifetime through your own strength, Red Dust Immortal Ascension in the mortal Lifetime, I, this humble Daoist, will say no more."
"I'm just giving you a piece of advice: if you really can't live a new Lifetime, then walk the path of reincarnation," the Daode Heavenly Venerable solemnly said to Xiao Ping'an.
Xiao Ping'an nodded.
"I am not a pedantic person. If my path of nine lifetimes of transformation truly proves impassable, I will also try the path of reincarnation that you and the Netherworld Venerable share."
Feeling the eerie atmosphere here, Xiao Ping'an said to the Daode Heavenly Venerable, "Fellow Daoist, your transformation here seems less appealing than going to the Netherworld Underworld."
"I originally thought you would go to the Primordial Ancient Star, but I never expected you to choose this place."
"To be honest, this place is really not as good as the Yellow Springs of the Underworld."
"I don't know if you've ever heard of the Netherworld Underworld, or the Yellow Springs within Netherworld. It's truly a place where death is the ultimate, a place where yin gives birth to yang."
After listening to Xiao Ping'an's words, the Daode Heavenly Venerable fell into deep thought.
Since the Overlord Heavenly Venerable personally invited him, he immediately decided to give it a try.
The Daode Heavenly Venerable then sealed this place away, and then flew to the Underworld with Xiao Ping'an.
The Daode Heavenly Venerable gazed upon the incomparably mysterious Netherworld and the even more mysterious Yellow Springs, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"The path of reincarnation is extremely profound. Even after much discussion between myself and the Netherworld Venerable, we still cannot claim to have fully grasped the secrets of reincarnation."
"Upon seeing this place of the Yellow Springs, I sensed a great gain just from a slight touch of my senses."
"What puzzles me is that when the Netherworld Venerable was in charge of the Underworld, he discussed the secrets of reincarnation with me many times, so why did he never tell me that there was such a mysterious place called Yellow Springs in the Underworld?"
"Could the secret behind the Netherworld Venerable's two incarnations be this Yellow Springs?"
The Yellow Springs in this Underworld are actually a place for nurturing corpses, which can accelerate the reincarnation of the physical body and give birth to intelligence at the fastest speed.
In the original text, the Netherworld Venerable once placed a dug-up corpse in the Yellow Springs. After countless millennia of transformation, a new primordial spirit was born, proving the Dao and becoming the famous Corpse Emperor of later generations.
This secret wasn't revealed until Ye Fan's era; before that, no one knew it at all.
Why didn't the Netherworld Venerable reveal the wondrous secrets of the Yellow Springs to the Daode Heavenly Venerable? Perhaps he had his own reasons.
Since the Daode Heavenly Venerable Daode Heavenly Venerable never joined the Underworld, he probably felt there was no need to tell him.
Xiao Ping'an shook his head, telling him that he didn't know what the Netherworld Venerable was thinking.
He also told him that he had personally buried the Netherworld Venerable on Primordial Ancient Star, in the Mount Kunlun.
Although this is a secret, and it might endanger the Netherworld Venerable to others, Xiao Ping'an trusts the Daode Heavenly Venerable's character.
Therefore, he told them directly and frankly.
Then Xiao Ping'an said to the Daode Heavenly Venerable, "I once lived a new Lifetime in this Yellow Springs, which took a full eight hundred thousand years."
"According to my calculations, if you bury your physical body here, your corpse should become spiritually connected in a shorter time, giving birth to new intelligence, and you will surely be able to re-attain enlightenment in the future."
"Besides here, you can also go to the Primordial Ancient Star to undergo transformation."
"At that time, we will merge the Nine-Lifetime Reincarnation Seal into one as quickly as possible, achieve perfect cultivation, and Red Dust Flying Immortal."
The Daode Heavenly Venerable nodded.
He was very satisfied with the atmosphere here, and with a little deduction, he knew that what Xiao Ping'an said was true.
"This is indeed an extraordinary place of Fortune, with a mysterious power of reincarnation flowing through it. Its effect on my physical body's reincarnation will be absolutely astonishing."
Upon sensing the aura of reincarnation emanating from this place, the Daode Heavenly Venerable was immediately captivated. He had been traveling through the starry sky for many years, searching for his own auspicious burial site, and finally chose Flying Immortal Star.
But compared to the Yellow Springs before him, the place he had chosen seemed inadequate.
The original text has already proven that the path of unifying the Nine-Lifetime Reincarnation Seal is indeed a feasible one.
However, the time it took was far too long. Xiao Ping'an had been wanting to conduct experiments, thinking about what methods could speed up the formation of the Reincarnation Seal.
If the experiment is successful, it would prove that, besides the Netherworld Venerable, the Daode Heavenly Venerable can also traverse the path of reincarnation and rebirth, which means that this path is likely universal.
Therefore, the number of people who choose this Red Dust Immortal Path will inevitably increase.
Although this kind of Mortal World Immortal may not be that strong, they definitely have a chance to become Immortal King in the future, and even a chance to reach a higher realm.
Whether they enter the Immortal Domain or the Heavens, they will definitely be a vital force.
The Daode Heavenly Venerable said, "This place is excellent. Thank you for the generosity of the Overlord Heavenly Venerable."
"Fellow Daoist may not know, although I have already formed three Reincarnation Seal in my body, and the fourth Reincarnation Seal is about to condense, according to my deductions, my next Lifetime is likely to be extremely dangerous, and I may even perish during the transformation."
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
"Whether I succeed or not will determine whether I can continue on this path and whether I can merge the Nine-Lifetime Reincarnation Seal as quickly as possible."
"If possible, fellow Daoist, please help me conceal this," said the Daode Heavenly Venerable.
Xiao Ping'an nodded: I see. No wonder the Daode Heavenly Venerable in the original text lingered at the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven realm for a long time when Ye Fan reached that era, without stepping into the realm of Alternative Dao Attainment or re-proving the Dao.
It turns out that he almost perished once, which may have damaged the foundation of his Dao. After countless millennia of struggle, he may have been reborn as a new soul.
"I see. Fellow Daoist, please rest assured. As long as I am alive and not undergoing transformation, helping you with small matters is no problem."
Xiao Ping'an said.
Xiao Ping'an is not anyone's babysitter. He is never stingy with his help to those who can help him grow and improve.
As for his enemies, they're in for a rough time; his revenge knows no bounds.
The Daode Heavenly Venerable slowly pushed open the lid of his coffin. In an instant, the Mother Qi of All Things surged forth, and the dazzling purple divine light was almost blinding.
Only then did Xiao Ping'an realize that the seemingly ordinary Daode Heavenly Venerable had actually crafted an extremely magnificent coffin for himself using Divine Mark Purple Gold, which even contained a portion of the Mother Qi of All Things.
The coffin also contained numerous rare and precious materials, including three different kinds of Immortal Divine Medicine fruits.
I thought the Daode Heavenly Venerable was a very simple person who let things take their natural course, but I never expected that he would prepare so many treasures for himself.
Seeing Xiao Ping'an's shocked gaze, the Daode Heavenly Venerable felt somewhat embarrassed.
He cupped his hands in greeting and said, "These were all collected by chance during my travels through the starry sky. Compared to you, Overlord Heavenly Venerable, they are far fewer rare and precious treasures."
"I have many of these things, but they are really worthless," the Daode Heavenly Venerable chuckled.
Xiao Ping'an nodded. He did indeed have far more treasures than the Daode Heavenly Venerable. However, the Daode Heavenly Venerable had always lived a simple life, and he was quite surprised to see such a luxurious coffin containing so many rare and precious materials.
After exchanging words with Xiao Ping'an for a while, the Daode Heavenly Venerable said nothing more and immediately lay down in the coffin.
The coffin was already imprinted with countless densely packed divine patterns of the Great Dao, including the Daoist Dao Scripture of the Daode Heavenly Venerable, as well as several other scriptures he had obtained.
Clearly, it was left by the Daode Heavenly Venerable for the person who will be able to communicate with spirits in the Lifetime life.
It seems he has made many preparations to get through this new ordeal.
Xiao Ping'an personally closed the coffin lid for the Daode Heavenly Venerable.
Crackling sounds.
The coffin, crafted from Divine Mark Purple Gold, fit perfectly without a single flaw, appearing as if it were a single rectangular piece of Divine Mark Purple Gold, exuding a mysterious aura of the Great Dao.
The coffin radiated a dazzling purple light, surrounded by the vast expanse of heaven and earth, and countless Mother Qi of All Things.
Xiao Ping'an placed it in the Yellow Springs and watched it slowly sink to the bottom.
Buzzing.
The entire coffin seemed to have been swallowed up by the Yellow Springs, or perhaps it had become one with Yellow Springs.
Under his own eyes, he watched as the Divine Mark Purple Gold coffin with its markings lost its luster and aura, becoming like an ordinary Shitou in the Yellow Springs.
If Xiao Ping'an hadn't personally verified that this was a coffin made of Divine Mark Purple Gold, anyone else would have just mistaken it for an ordinary Shitou.
He watched as the rectangular, Divine Mark Purple Gold coffin gradually transformed into an irregular Shitou and sank to the bottom of the Yellow Springs. Xiao Ping'an felt relieved.
The Daode Heavenly Venerable certainly made many preparations, even the coffin was made so ancient and weathered.
Xiao Ping'an personally helped bury the Daode Heavenly Venerable.
All living beings in the world quickly sensed that mysterious fluctuation of the Great Dao.
Countless drops of blood rained down from the sky, accompanied by mournful cries from all directions and the wails of ghosts and gods.
Especially the Yellow Springs, which seemed to be destroying the world, swept across the sky.
Although it was known that the Yellow Springs was a manifestation of an anomaly and not the real Yellow Springs, the aura emanating from it was still awe-inspiring.
People learned that the Daode Heavenly Venerable had died, and from the strange phenomena that appeared, as well as the fact that the Overlord Heavenly Venerable had personally taken him to the Underworld, people also knew that the Daode Heavenly Venerable had died in the Underworld.
" The Daode Heavenly Venerable lived for over 30,000 years in this Lifetime; his death was worthwhile."
Some people sighed, after all, the Lifetime of some ordinary Supreme and Ancient Emperor was only a little over ten thousand years.
The fact that the Daode Heavenly Venerable could live to this age is indeed incredibly powerful.
The Daode Heavenly Venerable has lived for so many years, guiding the cultivation of many beings. He has never established any domineering Heavenly Court. His life has been so quiet and peaceful, as if he lived solely for the purpose of cultivation and enlightenment.
When young people sought his advice, he would generously share his knowledge and offer guidance with utmost care, living up to the magnanimity of the ancient Heavenly Venerable.
Of course, it's difficult to judge those Dark Supreme; they remained silent because they knew more secrets.
Throughout the history of spiritual practice, many outstanding individuals have indeed emerged.
But many more had no choice but to cut their own throats and infiltrate the restricted area.
Although it took him more than eight thousand years to attain Daode Heavenly Venerable, his strength at that time was incredibly powerful.
His foundation was incredibly solid, and upon attaining enlightenment, he became Heavenly Venerable, possessing Heavenly Venerable -level strength, which made those Supreme extremely envious.
Watching him Lifetime again and Lifetime, many Dark Supreme longed to emulate him, but feared they wouldn't survive and would die in vain.
Although the extraordinary signs of the Daode Heavenly Venerable's transformation into the Dao have now manifested, these Dark Supreme do not believe that the Daode Heavenly Venerable has died so easily.
There was a mysterious connection between heaven and earth, and the Great Dao he left in the Heavenly Heart Imprint began to gradually dissipate.
Everyone's gaze turned towards the location of the Underworld; they were all very curious about the Netherworld Underworld.
The fact that the Overlord Heavenly Venerable personally came to receive the Daode Heavenly Venerable suggests that the Daode Heavenly Venerable is not entirely dead and may be planning to live a new Lifetime in the Underworld.
Or perhaps they intend to use spirit communication on the corpse there.
People looked with awe at the place where the Underworld was located, at that ghostly world that was unlike the human world.
The Daode Heavenly Venerable died, but the Great Saint and aristocratic families solemnly recorded it, telling future generations, " The Daode Heavenly Venerable was the reincarnation of the ancient Heavenly Venerable; he did not die so easily."
"Although he is now dead, many people speculate that he is still alive and will surely reappear in the future."
With the Daode Heavenly Venerable dead, Xiao Ping'an's mood became indifferent.
Regardless of what others speculated, Xiao Ping'an no longer cared about their comments.
As for how the other transmigrators treated the Daode Heavenly Venerable, Xiao Ping'an didn't care. He simply followed his heart and did as he pleased.
Whether others help the Daode Heavenly Venerable is their business; whether Xiao Ping'an wants to help is his own business.
He once again traveled through the mortal world, experiencing its everyday life.
The Human World is indeed very prosperous, but with his strength, he could fight anyone in heaven and earth and still not find anyone who could be his opponent.
He searched for his relatives and friends, but to no avail. They were either sealed away in the Divine Source or already dead. No wonder people say that the stronger one is, the lonelier one becomes.
