Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 271 I've come to see you off

After the ginseng fruit tree took human form, the remaining ginseng fruit tree body, though merely an empty shell, was still an excellent material for refining artifacts. Moreover, given its symbiotic relationship with the Immortal Tomb, as long as the Celestial Venerable of Longevity diligently refined it, this divine tree could definitely become a priceless treasure.

At that time, the ginseng fruit tree could serve as another core of the Immortal Tomb, and even become an incarnation of the Celestial Venerable of Longevity. The Celestial Venerable of Longevity could then divide his consciousness in two: his main body would be responsible for the evolution and growth of the Immortal Tomb, while the ginseng fruit tree incarnation would be dedicated to condensing immortal energy and longevity substances. This would greatly accelerate the Celestial Venerable of Longevity's efficiency.

After all, the elixir of immortality can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, transforming it into a fruit containing longevity substances, allowing one to be reborn and live a second life. The future Celestial Venerable of Immortality could naturally achieve the same through this tree.

Furthermore, because the ginseng fruit tree retains some divine essence within its trunk, even without its immortal divinity and undying true spirit, it has the potential to slowly recover and become a divine medicine once more. Moreover, if the Immortal Tomb continues to evolve, it might even become a celestial medicine.

Of course, that's not entirely accurate. Strictly speaking, it only gives the divine tree the ability to produce divine and immortal medicines, not that the divine tree itself has reverted to becoming a divine or immortal medicine.

Because the fruit borne by this divine tree, which was completely integrated with the Immortal Mausoleum, was a combination of the mausoleum's own laws, Dao traces, immortal energy, longevity substances, and so on, the ginseng fruit tree itself could only play a role in amplification and transformation at that time. It required the Longevity Celestial Venerable to manually control it to bear fruit. Moreover, this divine tree could not regenerate its own sentience and become a new life.

In addition, as a divine material that is in no way inferior to celestial gold, this tree can also serve as a core weapon integrating offense and defense within the celestial mausoleum. Moreover, due to its symbiotic relationship with the celestial mausoleum, this divine weapon can even remain in a state of constant activation, guarding the celestial mausoleum's defense system at all times.

Therefore, this divine tree is of great significance to the Immortal Tomb.

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity's help to the Ginseng Fruit Tree was purely accidental, without any particular intention. Or rather, he was simply curious, wanting to know what special qualities these near-immortal elixirs would possess after taking human form.

After all, of the eighteen immortal herbs currently in existence, only the Humanoid Divine Tree, the Chaos Green Lotus, and this Ginseng Fruit Tree have the potential to take human form. The other two are in Liang Yu's possession, and the Celestial Venerable of Longevity doesn't know the reason for their existence, but this one is undeniably related to him. Therefore, he also wants to witness this.

Moreover, at this time, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality already knew that the Elixir of Immortality was transformed from a dead immortal. If it were to transform into a new life, could it be considered a reincarnation of an immortal?

In any case, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity's own condition had stabilized, and the road ahead was completely smooth with almost no risks, but it would require a great deal of time to accumulate strength. This period of time would probably be unimaginably long, so the Celestial Venerable of Longevity naturally didn't mind slightly reducing his efficiency to help the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

If he were to gain something unexpected, he might be able to progress even faster.

After seeing this relationship, Liang Yu couldn't help but admire it. The Eternal Life Celestial Venerable and the Ginseng Fruit Tree could be considered to have sown good seeds and reaped good fruit, supporting each other.

However, this is also a good thing. Now that the ginseng fruit tree knows how to repay kindness, its temperament after transformation should also be acceptable.

After verifying his conjecture, Liang Yu bid farewell to the Celestial Venerable of Immortality and left the Immortal Mausoleum.

Now, under the influence of the Primordial Celestial Venerable in his later years, this Heavenly Heart Imprint began to tremble continuously, causing even the Great Dao of the Universe to fluctuate. All cultivators in the universe sensed this intense aura of death. They knew that the Primordial Celestial Venerable's current life had also come to an end.

At this time, it had only been ten thousand years since Wuji Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Daode Tianzun established the Immortal Sect. According to Yuanshi Tianzun, the Immortal Sect would need tens of thousands of years to truly stabilize.

Now, the authenticity of this immortal sect naturally depends on the Primordial Celestial Venerable to confirm. After all, those who haven't attained the Dao have virtually no chance of becoming immortals. Therefore, whether the Primordial Celestial Venerable can live another life not only represents whether he himself can become an immortal, but also reveals whether future generations can become immortals.

During this period, it can be said that all cultivators in the universe are closely watching the Great Dao imprint that weighs on everyone's hearts.

Liang Yu strolled through the starry sky as if taking a leisurely walk, yet each step he took traversed countless star fields. Before long, Liang Yu arrived at the Kunlun Sacred Realm, the place where the Primordial Celestial Venerable resided, a place that everyone in the universe was now paying attention to.

At this moment, the Kunlun Sacred Realm was filled with a thick sense of twilight. Under the influence of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, this immortal mountain began to dim its divine light, as if it were about to perish.

At this moment, the Kunlun Sacred Realm was filled with countless array patterns and Origin Heaven Divine Patterns. These array patterns and Origin Heaven Divine Patterns intertwined, and surprisingly, they faintly formed a three-legged, two-eared Heaven and Earth Cauldron on the outside of the Kunlun Sacred Realm. The Myriad Things Origin Cauldron, which was still one step away from becoming a Celestial Artifact, served as the core of the great array, exuding a faint Celestial Aura.

It must be said that the green copper used to forge the Myriad Origin Cauldron is indeed extraordinary. The Primordial Banner is the natal magic weapon that the Primordial Celestial Venerable began refining in his first incarnation, and its materials combine branches of the Jianmu tree with nine kinds of immortal metals, making its specifications extremely high. But now, the Primordial Banner is actually one step behind the Myriad Origin Cauldron. In other words, if this continues, the Myriad Origin Cauldron may very well become an immortal artifact before the Primordial Banner.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable himself naturally had no bias; in fact, one might even say he favored the Primordial Banner slightly. But even so, the Myriad Origin Cauldron still came out on top. This is enough to prove that its materials were indeed genuine, unadulterated, celestial materials.

Liang Yu sighed. No wonder the Emperor in the original timeline chose to refine this item into a celestial artifact instead of its original Dao weapon. The difference was indeed too great.

Liang Yu scanned the area and discovered that although the array patterns of Yuanshi Tianzun were not as profound as those of Lingbao Tianzun, they were still extremely sophisticated. These array patterns, intertwined with the Origin Heaven Divine Patterns, had even penetrated deep into the origin of the universe, forming a cauldron of heaven and earth that could contain all things.

Perhaps the grand formation in the original timeline where the Emperor forged the World Cauldron was an upgraded version of the current formation. This could be considered a kind of timeline convergence.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable had naturally sensed Liang Yu's aura. He had been waiting for Liang Yu's arrival, otherwise he would have already begun his transformation. Therefore, at his signal, the Myriad Origin Cauldron opened its array patterns, allowing Liang Yu to enter. Although these array patterns could not stop Liang Yu at all, the two were fellow Daoists after all, and Liang Yu naturally would not trespass.

Seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun's aura had weakened to the extreme, Liang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, I've come to see you off."
