Chapter 1739: Chapter 933: Great Venerables Speak in Unison, Congratulating the Taoist

At the moment Zhao Sheng proved the Dao and became a Great Venerable, the sky over the Ancestral Land of the Divine Continent suddenly darkened.

The sky, originally azure and clear, seemed to have turned into night, as stars emerged one after another, emitting a faint starlight.

Among the vast array of stars, there was a Big Star exceptionally dazzling, resembling a Great Sun with radiance stretching across the sky, momentarily overshadowing the starlight.

At the same instant, innumerable streams of Flowing Light suddenly descended from the depths of the star-filled Tianqiong.

The Flowing Light took on an olive shape, trailing long flaming tails, quickly rushing downward to the vast Divine Continent.

At that moment, countless cultivators of the Zhao Family in the Divine Continent looked up at the Tianqiong, all struck with awe and left speechless.

This daytime star phenomenon appeared not only over the Divine Continent but was visible across most of the Four Holy Continents as well, marking a rare celestial event in ages.

Billions of cultivators were astonished, all feeling an overwhelming longing!

In the blink of an eye, countless Tao Spirit Mechanisms fell into the vast land of the Divine Continent, transforming swiftly into pure spirit rain that quickly integrated into the earth.

Suddenly, the spirit medicine and plants scattered throughout the Divine Continent began to grow madly, as if they had lived through centuries or millennia in an instant. Countless spirit medicine and treasure plants developed spiritual qualities, and innumerable birds and beasts swiftly gained wisdom, transforming into mystic entities.

Daytime stars appear, and sweet rain descends from the heavens!

Such magnificent and grand celestial phenomena—isn’t this the legendary sign of a Great Venerable proving the Dao!

Some elders in the Returning to Void Realm who had once perused Ancient Scrolls were now moved to tears, dancing with joy.

In the southeast of the Divine Continent, the newly ascended Unification Realm Ancestor Zhao Luo Mo stared at the star-filled sky in shock and loss of voice: "Who... who is it?"

Before his voice fell, a tall and burly figure appeared beside him out of nowhere.

Chongyue Cave Master gazed at the dazzling Big Star with sincere admiration: "Our Fourth Ancestor must be a Divine one! Judging by these celestial signs, the Fourth Ancestor has likely succeeded in proving the Dao as a Great Venerable!"

Zhao Luo Mo felt a violent shock, incredibly stunned, "It truly is... the Fourth Ancestor?! Why so... so suddenly!"

As he spoke, a seven-colored rainbow bridge suddenly rose among the stars across the sky.

The rainbow bridge stretched from west to east, spanning most of the Heavenly Curtain, making it extremely noticeable!

At this moment, a clear and melodious immortal sound emanated from the depths, resounding throughout Cloud Sky, and spreading across the entire Four Holy Continents.

In the next moment, Zhao Family cultivators from all over the Divine Continent "saw" two rows of fairies clad in Feathered Robes, impossibly beautiful, appear at the end of the rainbow bridge.

These fairies played various musical instruments while gracefully moving toward the dazzling Big Star.

Leading the fairies was a purple-robed Taoist, his face obscured by a Heaven Crown.

The purple-robed Taoist held a Yellow Scroll in both hands, seemingly moving slowly yet swiftly across the rainbow bridge, ultimately stopping outside the Big Star.

"As the master of Taiyi Spirit Palace, Taoyue Immortal Venerable sends a junior to respectfully inquire of Senior Shenglongzi:

Having heard of the successful proof of the Dao, stepping beyond worldly matters, I am beyond joyful at this news.

Recalling the rise from humble origins, an unparalleled rapid ascent, now wielding the Five Elements’ pivotal essence, seized from the forces of heaven and earth.

May you one day ascend with the clouds, sharing eternity with heaven and earth, brilliance with the sun and moon.

This is a blessing to all beings, an honor to this realm; I have especially prepared the Mystic Jade and Cloud Brocade Heavenly Book to manifest your Dao.

We respectfully wish that the Supreme Sect shows mercy, and hope the junior ascends to the Immortal Palace soon!"

At that moment on the Lower Realm Divine Continent, countless cultivators strained to listen, hoping to catch a word of the celestial sound.

Yet, no matter how they listened, they could not hear what the purple-robed Taoist was saying.

Only those in Near Heaven at the Tribulation Crossing Realm Venerable could hear this person’s voice clearly.

At this moment, a Taoist with immortal-like demeanor slowly walked out from within the Five Elements Cave Heaven, the Avatar, Dongzhenzi.

Seeing the main figure appear, the purple-robed Taoist immediately raised the Immortal Decree high, bowed reverently, and said, "Please accept the Cloud Brocade Heavenly Book, Senior!"

Zhao Sheng floated before him, extended his hand, and received the Heavenly Book Scroll.

The purple-robed Taoist felt a lightness in his hands and couldn’t help but feel a slight joy.

He quickly took out a Jade Box from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Sheng: "Mystic Jade is here, please keep it safe, Senior."

Hmm!

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly and accepted the Jade Box, tucking it into his sleeve.

At this moment, the purple-robed Taoist dared to lift his head, smiling broadly, and said, "I, Dan Yangzi, congratulate Senior on proving the Dao as a Great Venerable today. Before I came, the Immortal Venerable specifically instructed me to build rapport with Senior."

Zhao Sheng’s eyes flickered with a hint of curiosity and he couldn’t help but ask, "Oh, what is your relation with the Taoyue Immortal Venerable?"

Dan Yangzi replied: "The Immortal Venerable is my Daoist Ancestor, and I can be considered his indirect disciple."

"I see, my apologies, my apologies!" Zhao Sheng responded casually after listening.

Seeing his casual demeanor, Dan Yangzi didn’t mind at all, continuing with a smile: "Senior may not know, but anyone who proves the Dao as a Great Venerable in this realm must choose a title of veneration, to be respected by all beings. What title does Senior wish to choose? I’ll record it and report back to the Spirit Palace."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng’s heart was slightly moved, and he immediately fell into contemplation.

Dan Yangzi stood smilingly by the side, patiently waiting.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Sheng inexplicably felt a flash of spirit light in his heart, instantly coming up with an idea.

"I, the Venerable, prove the Dao with the Five Elements... I have heard that Hunyuan governs the Five Elements Yin Yang, and is the primordial root of the Tao. Today, I shall take Hunyuan as my title to manifest my intent."

"Such a title from a senior is truly wonderful! This young Daoist is deeply impressed." Dan Yangzi clapped his hands and laughed, continuously echoing praises.

After speaking, he solemnly bowed and said, "This young Daoist will return to the palace and report the mission, hoping to spread the Venerable’s title throughout the Spirit Realm heavens soon."

Zhao Sheng nodded, casually returning the salute.

At this moment, Dan Yangzi stood up again, turned towards the rainbow bridge, and the fairies playing music and dancing behind him followed.

Soon, the colorful rainbow bridge spanning the sky slowly withdrew and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng was about to turn around when suddenly two figures abruptly appeared in front of him.

Who could it be? Who else but Zhao Xuanjing and Tianyunzi!

Zhao Sheng steadied his figure, immediately bowing and greeting the two ancestors, "Dongzhenzi, greetings to the Ancestor, Second Ancestor."

Zhao Xuanjing stepped forward, helped him upright, and laughed heartily, "Haha, I always knew you had it in you, but I didn’t expect you to easily pass the Nine-layered Thunder Tribulation. Back then, I barely survived, nothing like the ease you had today."

The Second Ancestor Zhao Hongyun stood nearby, smiling silently, but his eyes were full of admiration and joy.

He was acutely aware that from today onwards, the "Ten Lands" Zhao Family had indisputably become the "First Immortal Valve," and for countless years, no one would be able to shake the clan’s position.

However... the wise say that fortune and misfortune are interdependent!

The Zhao Family deserves the name "First Immortal Valve," but it also means they must bear the unknown "calamities" that come with this name.

While Tianyunzi secretly calculated the omens of fortune and misfortune, the surrounding stars suddenly shone brightly.

Following this, a gentle voice like jade suddenly emanated from within a star: "Wu Daozi the Wanderer, congratulations Taoist!"

The voice echoed throughout the void and wilderness, overwhelming the sky full of starlight.

As the Painting Saint spoke, other stars emitted voices one after another, either aged, solemn, or arrogant:

"Xue Yunqing of Taiyi Spirit Palace, congratulates Taoist!"

"Xuantian Immortal Sect... Spiritual Daoist, congratulates Taoist!"

"Taishi Demon Sect... Elder Wanjie, congratulates Taoist!"

"Great Brightness Temple... Monk Kong Sang, congratulates Taoist!"

"Hehe, I, the Venerable of Self-free Heaven... congratulate Taoist on proving the Dao, wishing Taoist great freedom and supreme bliss soon!"

"Supreme Sect... Qi Ruxian, congratulates Taoist!"

"..."

Zhao Sheng gazed at the stars, earnestly listening to the congratulations sent by fellow Tribulation Crossing Realm Daoists for the first time, recognizing the names of many great Venerables in this realm.

When all the stars returned to silence, he confirmed that there had been thirty-five Venerables who spoke before.

This also meant that excluding the three of them, there were thirty-five fellow Daoists in the Tribulation Crossing Realm in the Taiyi Spirit Realm, among whom nine were from the Evil Demons.

This somewhat surprised him!

...

Zhao Xuanjing and Tianyunzi did not stay long, only reminding him of some taboos and precautions regarding the Tribulation Crossing Realm before leaving one after another.

Zhao Sheng held the Jade Scroll and watched the two disappear, then turned and walked into the Five Elements Cave Heaven.

While Dongzhenzi dealt with the external disturbances, the Zhao Family was fully immersed in understanding the countless spirit lights after the breakthrough.

In the endless world of Law "Silk Strings," those originally chaotic silk strings suddenly became orderly, their colors filled with rhythm, evoking countless emotions at first sight.

As time passed, each complex layer of silk strings gradually evolved into "clear and dynamic" Tao True Texts.

Simultaneously, Zhao Sheng’s flesh was rapidly transforming towards the Postnatal Five Elements Dao Body.

While he was enthralled by the endless evolution of the Law, time seemed to lose all significance.

It was unknown how long had passed, but Zhao Sheng felt an immense fatigue in his Spirit and had to fall from the world of Law Silk Strings, his consciousness instantly returning to his body.

The moment he opened his eyes, the heavens and earth quaked with a series of clear sounds, as if chiming bells, or bamboo flutes, clear and pleasant.

Glancing around, the entire cave heaven instantly fell into his view.

In that moment, he realized his insight into the Dao had taken an extraordinarily long time.

From his Tribulation Crossing breakthrough until now, a full two thousand five hundred years had passed.

Nine generations had come and gone, and he had never experienced such a prolonged meditation practice.

But quickly, he cast aside disturbing thoughts and instantly focused on his own changes.
