Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 185 The Changsheng Heavenly Venerable's Strange Changes
Nearly 20,000 years have passed since the Primordial Celestial Venerable began his second life. The universe is teeming with life, a scene of all things flourishing.

The mythological era was undoubtedly the golden age of Taoism. The nine Heavenly Venerables were all associated with Taoism, and their Nine Secrets became the supreme maxims of Taoism. This was an era dominated by religious sects.

After the fall of the Heavenly Court, the ancient era was basically divided by race, ushering in a new version.

This is partly due to the Immortal Emperor's deliberate guidance, since he himself came from the Phoenix Clan of the Immortal Realm and had been accustomed to the teachings of bloodline races since childhood.

On the other hand, it was also an inevitable trend. Many races that emerged in the mythological era had already grown large during those years, and a considerable number of them had become major powers in the universe. However, because the Heavenly Court ruled the universe, they could only submit and suppress their ambitions.

But things changed after the Heavenly Court fell. As the saying goes, "when a whale falls, all things are born." The moment this vast power collapsed, these powerful races immediately began to greedily devour and plunder the Heavenly Court's legacy, and rapidly expanded. It can be said that in the ten thousand years between the fall of the Heavenly Court and the Immortal Emperor's attainment of enlightenment, the universe was in chaos, with countless ambitious individuals rising up, wanting to dominate their respective regions.

The emergence of a world where myriad races coexisted in the primordial era was an inevitable trend. The Undying Emperor was simply following this trend. Moreover, he originally intended to erase the traces of the Heavenly Court of the Mythical Era, and creating a new world was indeed the best way to achieve this.

Although the Immortal Emperor personally created the chaotic world, he was only one of the participants, not the mastermind; but he was the only protagonist who ended this chaotic world, and he also facilitated the coexistence of all races in the ancient era.

Therefore, the Immortal Emperor could even say: If there were no me in the world, I wonder how many people would call themselves kings and how many would call themselves emperors.

Although the Heavenly Court of the Emperor has not been established, and even the Primordial Heavenly Lord is spreading his teachings everywhere, ushering in the golden age of Taoism, the tide of changing times has still inevitably arrived.

This can be seen from the time Liang Yu was alive. Both the gods and the dragons had long been preparing for their attack.

Perhaps when these few disappear from the mortal world, it will be the time when Taoism reaches its peak and begins to decline, and all races rise.

However, these things weren't that important to Liang Yu and his companions; they were more concerned with each other's methods of achieving immortality.

On this day, Liang Yu's expression suddenly changed. He put down his research on the Phoenix Treasure Technique, stepped out of the Boundless Immortal Mountain, and arrived at the side of the Underworld in the shortest possible time.

The Lord of the Underworld was already waiting nearby. His condition was clearly not good anymore; his aura became unstable as soon as he left the Underworld. It could be said that if he hadn't spent a considerable amount of his life in the Underworld, maintaining his condition with the help of the Underworld Scripture, he would have already passed away and begun his next life.

Before them, a sea of ​​lightning, even more vast than the starry sky, coalesced, with wisps of lightning surging, seemingly intent on extinguishing all life. The rumbling thunder resounded, almost shattering even the underworld. The Great Dao of the Universe was more active than ever before, as if the heavens themselves had begun to rage, unleashing a divine punishment.

The Underworld Lord had already used Source Technique to move the Underworld Land in advance, avoiding the Sea of ​​Lightning, but the Immortal Tomb had already been almost completely submerged.

Of course, the Immortal Mausoleum remained unharmed. The Underworld Lord and Liang Yu's Daoist master had used the Heaven-Deceiving Array Pattern to conceal the heavenly secrets the moment they sensed trouble. If they hadn't reacted in time, not only would the Immortal Mausoleum have been destroyed, but the Underworld itself would have suffered.

Immediately afterward, Yuanshi Tianzun arrived. After all, he was the one who had attained enlightenment in this world, and he was naturally the first to sense the tremors of the Heavenly Heart Mark and the wrath of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Liang Yu was able to arrive a step ahead of him mainly because his Dao Body was right there, so he knew what had happened immediately.

Both the Celestial Venerable of Morality and the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure were at a critical stage, so they did not come. After all, although this tribulation was powerful, it was not a problem for them.

The Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning had a solemn expression. Even though the Heaven-Deceiving Array Patterns concealed the sea of ​​lightning before him, it had not disappeared. It seemed that his anger had not subsided and he was still lingering here, wanting to annihilate the heretics.

He couldn't help but ask, "What happened? Is the immortal cultivator in the Immortal Tomb? How could he have caused such a calamity?"

I was involved in the entire process of Liang Yu's explanation, so I naturally knew the situation and began to explain the details one by one.

Tens of thousands of years ago, he and the Underworld Lord deciphered the unique, self-contained laws within the Immortal Tomb and compiled the Ancient Scripture of Burying Immortals. After mastering this scripture, one can condense the unique laws and Dao traces of the Immortal Tomb within their body, thereby resonating with the Immortal Tomb and using its immortality to slow down their aging. They can even use these laws and Dao traces to transform themselves into a completely different new physique.

For some unknown reason, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity had an extremely high compatibility with the Ancient Scripture of Burial Immortals. In a very short time, he cultivated to an extremely high level, condensing a large number of Immortal Tomb Laws and Dao Traces within his body, thus becoming almost one with the Immortal Tomb.

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity, who was already obsessed with immortality and becoming a deity, didn't actually have a strong desire for reincarnation, nor did he want to rely entirely on others for guidance. After seeing what seemed to be a direction for exploration, he began to conduct further research.

Therefore, he used the method of transforming into a holy spirit, using a portion of the precious soil from the core of the Immortal Tomb as raw material to transform himself into a stone embryo, and with the help of the Dao Fruit of the Zhe character secret, he controlled his own life pulse. With the combination of the two, he truly became one with the Immortal Tomb.

This is an extremely dangerous state, similar to the merging of the primordial spirit and the Dao, both of which lead to a loss of consciousness. However, he did successfully inhabit the Immortal Tomb and share in its immortal divinity.

Over the years, the Eternal Celestial Venerable attempted to delve into the true core of the Immortal Tomb to grasp its core laws, while simultaneously continuously operating the Word Secret to maintain the indestructibility of his own life essence and using various primordial mystical arts to ensure the immortality of his true spirit. After all, the Immortal Tomb, out of self-preservation, was also instinctively and continuously assimilating him.

In this long tug-of-war, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality finally turned the tables and gained the upper hand.

His vital energy and life force flowed freely within the Immortal Mausoleum along the Dao traces, and his true spirit merged with the laws of the Immortal Mausoleum, becoming as attuned as an extension of his own arm. The stone embryo he transformed into truly became a part of the Immortal Mausoleum, and even its core.

It could be said that he practically possessed the Immortal Tomb, becoming the Immortal Tomb itself. Although the price was that he completely lost his humanity, he also gained the possibility of immortality.

At the very moment of his success, the might of Heaven swept over him, as if he had touched some forbidden realm.
