I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

More than ten thousand years of cultivation had allowed Luo Mo to reach the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, comprehend the true meaning of the Ancestor, and glimpse the next realm, capable of cultivating to the Ancestral Immortal realm on his own.

Comprehending the true meaning of the Ancestor also allowed his avatars to find a more suitable path for advancement, enabling them to leap from the Immortal Emperor realm and embark on their own path of breaking through the Emperor to become an Ancestor.

Sacrificing to the Dao, sacrificing one's own Great Dao, according to the original story, the so-called Dao Sacrifice did not break through the Immortal Emperor realm.

And above the Dao Sacrifice, one must sacrifice everything, forsaking life and forgetting death.

After finally returning, he began a leisurely secluded cultivation. Besides giving pointers at home, he also frequently visited various parts of the World Tree as a mysterious old senior, encouraging those cultivators who had ideas to explore new paths.

This kind of life continued for seventy thousand years. Finally, he received news from the other side of the world.

The avatar he released over there sent back intelligence: the Strange race was making moves!

They began to move out frantically, seemingly receiving some death order, frantically searching for something in the heavens, but even the Strange race's Immortal Kings and Quasi-Immortal Emperors did not know what they were looking for.

The avatar had secretly controlled several Strange Immortal Kings, and even Strange Quasi-Immortal Emperors, exploring their primordial spirit memories, but failed to obtain definite information. They were only told to search, but not what to search for.

The avatar believed that they might be looking for them.

After all, they still had a Strange Plateau, which was an existence even more powerful than the Strange Ancestral Land. It might have sensed something.

But what exactly it was, was unclear.

After receiving the news, Luo Mo sat cross-legged in the Ultimate Ancient Land and began to operate his Dao techniques, searching for cause and effect.

His primordial spirit, holding the True Spirit Seal, emitted a clear light. The powerful forces that came searching from the void were all distorted by the clear light, and those forces did not even notice.

Among those forces, some were related to cause and effect. Someone was deducing Luo Mo's existence, but Luo Mo had the True Spirit Seal, and he would not allow it. No one could deduce anything.

Especially with his current realm, comprehending the true meaning of the Ancestor, everything related to him was shielded by the True Spirit Seal.

Each of those forces deducing his existence was very powerful, much stronger than the Corpse Immortal Emperor, and there were as many as twenty of them.

Were the Strange race's progenitors and other Immortal Emperors joining forces to deduce him?

So many people?

It seemed they were quite concerned. The Strange Plateau had sounded the highest level of alarm for them.

'Make your move, become the Chief Priest.'

Luo Mo sent an order to the avatar through the True Spirit Seal, telling him to immediately start muddling the waters.

In the bleeding Sacrifice Sea, a figure in black clothes sat on an ancient ship. This was a treasure of the Strange side, which could travel through the Sacrifice Sea, holding coordinates, so as not to get lost.

Otherwise, with just a combination of Quasi-Immortal Emperors and several Immortal Kings, it would be easy to get lost in this Sacrifice Sea.

Having received the order, the avatar, who had been lurking all along, suddenly erupted from the body of this figure. The powerful dark matter in his body burst into light, turning into brilliant Golden Immortal Laws. The Golden Immortal Laws were like dragons and pythons, wrapping the flesh and swallowing the primordial spirit.

Then, in a few short moments, the Golden Immortal Laws changed again, reshaping the appearance of this guy, but the core had been completely changed.

The avatar needed an identity to operate, and this body could barely be used as a station.

And now, the avatar had a method to transform his power into dark matter, hiding and lurking, lacking a physical form, and always hiding inside dark creatures, making it very convenient to gather information.

At a critical moment, he could also directly replace them, turning the Golden Immortal Laws into the power of darkness, turning the host's body into his own, directly becoming a member of the Strange race, but this was the first time he had replaced someone. He had never done this before, in order not to leave any traces.

This was a Dark Immortal Emperor, whom the avatar had controlled for a long time. At first, he became a mass of powerful dark matter, fused in a fairy medicine fruit, and was swallowed by the Dark Immortal Emperor as an opportunity, and then the avatar spent hundreds of years lurking, silently controlling this Dark Immortal Emperor, and now he erupted, directly replacing him!

If it were a battle, he could naturally easily defeat and kill this Dark Immortal Emperor, but inevitably there would be traces left behind. Now, replacing him was truly a good way to penetrate the enemy's interior.

After replacing this Dark Immortal Emperor, the avatar immediately began to break through the realm.

He was not idle. During this time, he had already inquired about the situation, including this body. Of course, this body was not particularly strong among the Immortal Emperors, so he needed to improve his strength, so that he would be qualified to become the Chief Priest.

Although it was not a major realm, the momentum was quite large.

The avatar released three million Golden Immortal Laws, which turned into dark matter, and erupted into a monstrous black mist in the blood-colored Sacrifice Sea, eroding one world after another, and in the darkness, reshaping the true body, faintly glowing with golden light, and the dark golden light shone on the heavens.

The ancient ship sailed on the Sacrifice Sea, and the dark light penetrated one world after another, imprinting segments of dark scriptures into the Great Dao of each world, extremely strong.

Such a scene shocked the other dark creatures on the same ancient ship.

Darkness enveloped the world, and the Great Dao was eroded, imprinting immortal dark scriptures. The fate of the entire world was changed from then on. As long as the creatures in these affected worlds cultivated, they would inevitably be contaminated with dark matter.

Of course, this dark matter was not real dark matter, but ordinary cultivators could not find the abnormality. Even the Dark Immortal Emperor had been deceived by the avatar for more than one year.

Seeing the avatar's demonic power overwhelming the world, transforming one world after another into dark nests, which could hatch dark creatures in the future, the dark creatures under his command were amazed by the divine power of the Immortal Emperor.

"You all come here."

The avatar spoke, and three Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors and more than a dozen Dark Immortal Kings immediately appeared on the ancient ship. They were all dark creatures who were ordered to inquire about news and report abnormalities.

"I have newly comprehended a method that can nourish darkness and improve strength. Today, I will teach it to you."

Whether it was Quasi-Immortal Emperors or Immortal Kings, they were overjoyed!

Being able to obtain the Immortal Emperor's teachings was not luck that everyone had.

The ancient ship drifted on the Sacrifice Sea, crossing one world after another, transforming them into dark nests, which could hatch dark creatures in the future.

And the creatures on the ancient ship began to practice some of the methods that the avatar taught them, condensing the power of darkness.

The avatar was not stingy, not only teaching the Emperor's Law, but even spending his vitality to sort out their Dao foundations and help them cultivate Dao techniques.

One by one, runes shimmering with dark golden light condensed. The dark creatures marveled at the power of the Immortal Emperor runes. After successful condensation, both their physical bodies and primordial spirits became much stronger. The power of their Dao techniques also greatly increased, enhanced by the dark golden runes.

The orders from the higher-ups of the strange and ominous haven't been withdrawn, nor have any more specific instructions been given. They simply instruct them to search and report anything unusual.

The Avatar said, "The great battle with the realm above the Highest Heavens has allowed our strength to recover considerably. As I expected, a new round of grand sacrifices should begin soon."

"What the Immortal Emperor says is true. I also believe so."

"Indeed, we've been recuperating for too long since the battle with the realm above the Highest Heavens. It's time to hold a new round of grand sacrifices."

"Presumably, many have grown strong among the heavens during this period."

The Avatar continued, "Rather than direct slaughter, we should subtly influence them. With my Emperor-level techniques and the Immortal Emperor runes I've helped you condense, we can break through any world barrier not guarded by an Immortal Emperor and assimilate the Great Dao of that realm. I believe we should prepare for the grand sacrifices in advance."

"We obey the Immortal Emperor's decree!"

Thus, while the higher-ups of the strange and ominous were ordering them to search for someone unknown, this dark creature team began to pollute the worlds within the Sea of Sacrifice one by one.

When other dark creatures heard this, they also felt it made sense.

After all, sacrifices, whether grand or small, are inevitable!

So preparing in advance wouldn't be a problem.

Moreover, the orders these past few days have been too strange, simply telling them to find someone without giving any conditions, not even a single clue. Who knows who they're supposed to find!

Therefore, they might as well prepare for the grand sacrifices.

For the dark creatures, without the higher-ups taking action, the middle and lower levels could naturally wreak havoc in small worlds without powerful experts.

However, if they encountered worlds with Immortal King giants or even Quasi-Immortal Emperors, they would have a hard time gaining an advantage.

But the team under the Avatar had a miraculous Emperor-level technique, coupled with the dark Immortal Emperor runes, that could directly break through world barriers not guarded by Immortal Emperors, pollute the Great Dao of a realm, and transform it into a preparatory dark creature incubation chamber. As long as the creatures of that world cultivated, they would inevitably be eroded by darkness.

Their KPI suddenly skyrocketed!

If a colleague is too capable, doesn't that make us seem too incompetent?

However, the dark Immortal Emperors are noble and generally wouldn't act as vanguards to attack various worlds. If they went themselves, facing those stubbornly resisting creatures, it wouldn't be easy to take them down.

So what should they do?

The Avatar directly raised his own banner: Soul Heaven Emperor!

Then, he accepted everyone, teaching the dark Emperor-level techniques and helping them condense the dark Immortal Emperor runes, allowing them to pollute one world after another like locusts!

As long as it was a world not suppressed by an Immortal Emperor, they could quietly pollute it. Even if the Immortal Kings or even Quasi-Immortal Emperors within knew, they couldn't do anything, unable to even dispel the Immortal Emperor runes, and could only watch helplessly, either leaving with their relatives and friends or staying there and gradually being transformed by darkness.

Therefore, when the ten progenitors of the strange and ominous clan and the ten auxiliary dark Immortal Emperors ended another tens of thousands of years of fruitless deductions, they looked out over the heavens and discovered a strange thing.

That was, the situation was excellent!

It had only been a little over a hundred thousand years, but look at the entire Sea of Sacrifice and the even more distant heavens. Everywhere was filled with black mist, rising like wolf smoke. Each world was filled with a dark aura that pleased them.

"This…"

The ten dark Immortal Emperors were puzzled. What happened? What happened outside during our tens of thousands of years of deductions?

They joined forces. The ten progenitors and ten Immortal Emperors jointly deduced for over ten thousand years, but initially, they gained nothing.

Even the progenitors suspected whether the black hand that destroyed everything, which they sensed upon awakening from their dreams, was just a phantom.

But just as they were about to give up, an obscure aura appeared, fleetingly disappearing in the river of time and among the causes and effects of the heavens, never to be found again!

Although it was only an extremely subtle sensation, it confirmed to them that there was indeed a very powerful creature, and it was skilled at hiding, capable of evading the joint deductions of so many of them.

It was a great enemy!

Therefore, the black hand that destroyed everything, which they dreamed of, truly existed and should be the creature they sensed!

So they constantly pursued it, but the opponent was too slippery. Often, they could only find a trace of aura after thousands of years of deduction, and then it would disappear again. Thus, they deduced for over eighty thousand years before finally gaining something!

Of course, it's embarrassing to say, but it wasn't that they grasped the other party's details, but that the other party left behind a harsh word and then completely disappeared without a trace, never to be found again.

"Recreate the slaughter and exterminate you all!"

These eight words made the strange and ominous clan feel a long-lost anger.

Something hiding its head and showing its tail, not daring to show itself, dared to say such words?

But they jointly deduced for another fifty thousand years and didn't find a single trace. Only then did they confirm that the other party was simply teasing them before.

"The current situation…"

A progenitor opened his mouth. By the time he finished a sentence, he already understood the whole story.

"So they're preparing for the grand sacrifices."

Seeing the causes and effects at a glance made them feel that they weren't useless after all, that their abilities were still quite strong.

"Not doing their jobs properly!"

"The person we can't find, they naturally can't find either. Forget it, let's just hold the grand sacrifices."

"Didn't that creature say it would 'recreate the slaughter' and exterminate us? Hmph, let it come!" A progenitor said, resenting the previous words.

"That's right, directly hold the grand sacrifices and see if it dares to come, you shrinking turtle!"

Tens of thousands of years of hide-and-seek had also accumulated a lot of anger in them.

"Soul Heaven Emperor? Changed to an overbearing name, huh? Seems to be building momentum to become the chief sacrificer of the heavens." A progenitor browsed through the past hundred thousand years and saw some interesting things.

"And also said he wants to become a new progenitor, hehe."

A progenitor sneered, not knowing what he was thinking.

The ten dark Immortal Emperors were silent. Regarding this colleague with a strong momentum, they didn't dare to comment in front of the progenitors.

"Quite the appetite."

"Someone with ambition."

"Since he wants to be in the limelight so much, let him handle the chief sacrificer matter." A progenitor said.

"Yeah, I think it's possible. Let's see if that creature will come to disrupt the grand sacrifices."

Another progenitor also agreed, feeling that they could hide in the dark and see if that person would come.

"If it dares to come, it will be killed!"

This was considered a default. Since the progenitors all agreed, the dark Immortal Emperors naturally wouldn't have any objections. After all, this colleague who changed his name to Soul Heaven Emperor really had some skills, capable of polluting so many worlds in such a short time.

…

The Avatar received the progenitor's telepathic message, ordering him to preside over the grand sacrifices in a condescending tone.

The Avatar sneered.

If it weren't for the Highland consciousness, I would have smashed you all to pieces.

After all, I'm just an Avatar with only three million Grand Golden Immortal laws. I'm an undercover agent and not good at fighting.
