Chapter 124

At this moment, Duan De was truly on the verge of tears—if he were truly the Underworld Emperor, the Ancient Heavenly Venerable, or Brother Huang Tian, would he still obsess over others' ancestral graves every day?

Perfect Great World.

"???"

In some ancient land, Cao Yusheng was stunned.

What? He was fine just now—how did he die?

And then in the future, he becomes Duan De, a shameless Daoist Priest who specializes in digging up ancestral graves?

This is simply too unbelievable!

The scene continued to shift:

【Mythic Age—Early Period】

【I awoke in this era; it was a glorious age, with myriad races standing tall, countless mighty ones vying for supremacy, and countless brilliant new stars illuminating the entire Great World】

【But those so-called prodigies and demons, in my eyes, were nothing special—compared to my old brother Huang, they were worlds apart】

If even my brother was like this, how much more so was I? Thus, I crushed all rivals, attained the Dao in this age, and ushered in the Age of Heavenly Venerables.

【Afterward, I was revered and worshipped by myriad races, but after leaving behind the Tribulation Crossing Divine Art, I departed gracefully—for I needed no such empty fame】

《Tribulation Crossing Divine Art》

This is a Immortal Art; those who cultivate it need only reach Great Completion to attain Dao, but it only reaches perfection upon becoming an Immortal.

Moreover, to cultivate this Immortal Art, one must possess a special physique; without the matching physique, cultivators face near-certain death!

Afterward came the eras of the various Heavenly Venerables—the glorious legends I began must be continued by later generations, and they, like me, called themselves Heavenly Venerables, such as the Longevity Heavenly Venerable, the Carefree Heavenly Venerable, and others.

Additionally, each Heavenly Venerable independently created a secret art; with nine Heavenly Venerables, these became known as the Nine Secrets, each incredibly contrary to nature.

（Some below are made up）

The Nine Secrets of the Heavenly Venerables are: Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Shu, Zu, Qian, Xing!

【Lin Zi Mi: This secret art was created by me—it can strengthen the body to rival Divine Bodies and Sacred Bodies, truly an essential art for Tribulation Crossing】

Bing Zi Mi: Created by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable—it allows control over weapons; at a certain realm, one can manipulate any external object, even control opponents as weapons, including Imperial Weapons!

Dou Zi Mi: Created by the Boundless Heavenly Venerable—renowned as the supreme offensive art, it can mimic any attack and evolve divine techniques; the boy of Jiang Taixu learned this one.

Zhe Zi Mi: Created by the Longevity Heavenly Venerable—no matter how severe the injury, once activated, it restores the body instantly to perfect condition, a miraculous healing technique!

Jie Zi Mi: Created by my disciple, the Emperor Venerable—it boosts combat power tenfold, even for Emperors!

Shu Zi Mi: Created by the Moral Heavenly Venerable—it enables the cultivator to transform into three identical selves with equal combat power, each possessing independent consciousness.

Zu Zi Mi: Created by the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerable—it allows mastery of secret arrays and techniques to the ultimate extreme!

Qian Zi Mi: Created by the Extinction Heavenly Venerable—it cultivates spiritual sense; upon Great Completion, one can foresee the future!

Xing Zi Mi: Created by the Carefree Heavenly Venerable—it grants the fastest speed in the world, even influencing space and time—unparalleled swiftness!

【This, is the Nine Secrets!】

And the legends of the Ancient Heavenly Venerables finally came to an end with the appearance of the last Ancient Heavenly Venerable.

The final Heavenly Venerable of the Mythic Age.

He no longer bore the title Heavenly Venerable, but called himself Emperor Venerable; in this age, I bore the title Underworld Venerable, attaining the Dao through the Corpse Dao and Source Art—come to think of it, I am the ancestral master of the Source Art; Ye Hei must call me Ancestral Master.

I once walked alongside the Emperor Venerable, taught him much, and was both teacher and friend, though we never formally took the master-disciple bond.

Emperor Venerable, Emperor Venerable—my disciple sought to become the Supreme among Emperors and wished to establish the Heavenly Court; as his Master, I naturally did not stand idle—I aided him greatly.

【But my path ultimately differed from his; after helping him establish the Heavenly Court, I departed】

【I established the Underworld in the Nether Realms, echoing my disciple's Ancient Heavenly Court, jointly governing the rise and fall of ages, and together we arranged the Ninety-Nine Dragon Vein Ancestral Mountains】

【Afterward, I retreated once more】

【Later, when I emerged again, I heard my disciple had attempted to elevate his entire sect to the Immortal Realm—but was ambushed by the Undying Heavenly Emperor, his body destroyed and Dao extinguished】

【Regarding this—whether the sect's ascension or his death—I do not believe it; I know my good disciple well—he lacks such a narrow heart, and could never die so easily】

【But I had grown old, and was ready to bury myself—so I did not seek the truth】

At this moment, the live comments exploded:

Wait, this tone feels off—this Duan De actually has real power? He truly crushed all rivals and became the first Heavenly Venerable of the Mythic Age!

Holy shit, is this guy not bluffing? Is the Emperor Venerable really his disciple? Is Huang Tian Di really his brother? I feel this is unreal!

"Whoa, Tribulation Crossing Divine Art—this is an Immortal Art! Reach Great Completion and attain Dao; achieve perfection and become an Immortal—this Duan De is truly terrifying!"

"Too bad this Immortal Art requires a special physique—otherwise, everyone would be fighting to the death for it!"

Hmph, each Heavenly Venerable created one secret art—curious how powerful these Nine Secrets really are?

"Holy hell, this fatso created this art? His body rivals Sacred Bodies?"

Damn, Bing Zi Mi can control Imperial Weapons? Jiang the Divine King, famed as the greatest attacker in five thousand years—his Battle Saint Art is actually Dou Zi Mi?

"Damn, is Zhe Zi Mi real? Instantly restore any injury, no matter how severe?"

The previous secrets aren't the craziest—the most insane is the Emperor Venerable's creation: Jie Zi Mi boosts combat power tenfold—absolutely terrifying!

Terrifying, utterly terrifying—no wonder the Nine Heavenly Venerables of the Mythic Age were so renowned, no wonder their combat power surpassed ordinary Emperors—it's because of the Nine Secrets!

Holy crap, he's also the Underworld Venerable—the Underworld that the Wu Shi Emperor attacked? He created it himself!

666, the Emperor Venerable really is this fatso's disciple, and he helped create the Ancient Heavenly Court too!

"Impressive—I can only say this fatso is genuinely powerful, unlike that damn dog who brags nonstop—he's actually amazing, those titles aren't empty!"

Huh, could it be the Emperor Venerable didn't die? I also thought his death was suspicious—but would the Undying Old Bird allow such a rival to live?

"..."

Undoubtedly...

With Duan De's two lifetimes exposed...

Countless viewers were stunned—even the mighty, the supreme ones, were shaken, for they had all assumed he was bluffing—who could have imagined...

This dead fatso, who shares fame with Black Emperor, actually possesses such power; he is truly the Master of the Emperor!

Furthermore...

The Nine Secrets also shocked many powerful ones!

After all, that effect was too exaggerated; even existences at the level of the Universe Class, the Nether King, the Snow Emperor, the God of Destruction, and the Star God were somewhat envious!

A leaf shrouds the Shrouding the Heavens World.

"This, how is this possible?"

"That unscrupulous Daoist Priest is actually an Ancient Celestial Venerable, and moreover, the Master of that Emperor?"

"Crazy, this world must be crazy; how could he be an Ancient Celestial Venerable from the Mythical Era? He is clearly just an unscrupulous Daoist Priest who specializes in digging up people's ancestral graves!"

At this moment, countless factions were stunned.

They never expected that the unscrupulous Daoist Priest they had once shouted to kill and hated intensely was actually an Ancient Celestial Venerable from the Mythical Era?!

"Nether King, you are indeed still alive!"

In the Underworld, a Supreme exclaimed in shock; they had long suspected that the Nether King was very likely still in the world.

It was just that they suffered from a lack of evidence; now, with the exposure of Duan De the Second Generation, they undoubtedly confirmed that the Nether King is also him; he truly is the Nether King, the Nether King is truly still alive!

(Qian Nuo's) Damn!"

In some ancient land, Ye Hei and others were also dazed.

They originally thought this was Duan De bribing the video author, but they didn't expect him to truly be an Ancient Celestial Venerable; that legendary Emperor, he truly is his disciple!

"Am I dreaming?"

Not only Ye Hei and them, but even Duan De himself was stunned; he only felt as if he were dreaming.

Everything was too unreal!

The scene continued to change:

【This time, this poor Daoist slept for a long while; when I woke, I had moved from the end of the Mythical Era to the end of the Ancient Era, and in this life, this poor Daoist is the Nether King】

【In this era, no one knew that this poor Daoist attained the Dao; many Supremes also did not know. This poor Daoist held the Ancient Emperor Order and once participated in the Divine War at the end of the Ancient Era】

【Finally, with the end of the Divine War, this poor Daoist ended another life and fell into sleep once again】

【When this poor Daoist woke again, I had already reached the mid-period of the Desolate Ancient Era; in the fourth life, this poor Daoist attained the Dao in the late period of the Desolate Ancient Era, with the title Source Emperor!】

【In this life, I was very low-key, but even so, I still dealt with a ruthless person】

【Their talent was stunning throughout the ages; even this poor Daoist had to marvel, but this poor Daoist did not exchange much with them and fell into sleep once again!】

【After the Desolate Ancient Epoch, this poor Daoist woke again】

【But having lived to this life, this poor Daoist has already forgotten much; when I woke, I was already inside a Great Tomb】

【Thus, to excavate everything from the past, this poor Daoist vowed to become the greatest archaeologist; ancient Emperor graves and Ancient Emperor mausoleums, this poor Daoist often went there】

【And all of this was only to verify history! Xian】
