Ok so I understand what rest in peace does.. But how does it interact in these scenarios.
1. Player A has rest in peace on the battle field. Player B has Progenitus on the battlefield. Player C Plays Barter in Blood. So when Player B Goes to sacrifice Progenitus and put him in his graveyard. The card let's him shuffle in its owners libray but Player A enchantment says to exile it.. So which triggers first in this case?
1. Neither ability is a trigger, so there's nothing triggering here.
An ability written as "If (A), (B) instead" is a static ability with a replacement effect.
Both Rest in Peace and Progenitus have this kind of ability, and both try to apply when Progenitus is sacrificed.
When two or more replacements want to change the same event, the affected player (here, Progenitus's controller) chooses which one applies first. So you get to choose where Progenitus goes, exile or shuffled into the library.
If you choose to exile Progenitus, your library is not shuffled.
2. Now, Ulamog's ability is triggered, as it begins with "When".
The ability triggers only when Ulamog is actually put into the graveyard. Rest in Peace replaces going to the graveyard with being exiled, so Ulamog doesn't enter the graveyard and his ability never triggers.

2.also if Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre is sacrificed or heads to the graveyard.. Which triggers first? rest in peace or elamog.. Thanks for your help
Ulamog has a trigger. So it would go to the gy except Rest In Peace exiles it, so the trigger try’s to resolve but it has already been exiled.
