Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 315 Transformation into Holy Spirit

When the Immortal Emperor came looking for Liang Yu, he had already begun his seclusion, meticulously preparing for his next incarnation. Now, more than ten thousand years have passed, and Liang Yu's fifth incarnation has reached its end.

In total, Liang Yu lived for a full 80,000 years in this lifetime, which is an unimaginably long span of time.

In Liang Yu's past lives, the first life lasted 22,000 years, the second 30,000 years, the third 48,000 years, and the fourth 60,000 years, totaling 160,000 years. If we add the fifth life, that's 240,000 years. This fifth life alone accounts for one-third of the total, which only shows that the Chaos Body is indeed extraordinary.

Ideally, Liang Yu's lifespan of 240,000 years should have been enough to outlive several Dao-proving beings. However, since his successors are Yuanshi Tianzun and the Immortal Emperor, Liang Yu hasn't outlived a single Dao-proving being. This is undoubtedly a regrettable situation.

But in any case, Liang Yu is about to begin his sixth life. This is his fifth time living in reverse, and if all goes well, it means that he is indeed not too far from becoming a mortal immortal.

However, this time no one came to witness Liang Yu's transformation.

Before Liang Yu lived out his fifth life, the Celestial Venerable of Morality and the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure had already disappeared and begun to transform. Now that his current life is about to end, they still have not returned.

However, Liang Yu could still faintly sense their presence by drawing upon the origin of the universe through his ever-improving source techniques. Perhaps in a few tens of thousands of years, they would return. Of course, the reason they were taking so much time was mainly because this lifetime was the most difficult and far-reaching one they had ever experienced; the transformation in this lifetime was, to some extent, the key to their final outcome.

As for Yuanshi Tianzun, his fourth incarnation has only lived for 30,000 years and is still in a very young state. Theoretically, he should have time, but he is clearly currently in seclusion, cultivating diligently, and cannot spare any time.

As for the Immortal Emperor, he didn't have much time left in this life, and his first time resurrecting himself was of paramount importance, so he couldn't be careless. Therefore, Liang Yu didn't disturb him.

However, it doesn't really matter that Yuanshi Tianzun and the Immortal Emperor didn't come, because Liang Yu's transformation method in this life originated from the Holy Spirit. Yuanshi Tianzun has already achieved considerable mastery in this area and has even used it before; while the Immortal Emperor's research into this area is not deep, and it will be difficult for him to gain any results from it in the short term.

However, this method, which has been continuously studied throughout the mythological era, is finally going to work on Liang Yu.

As a representative figure of the mythological era, how could he not use the methods of the Holy Spirit? After all, he destroyed the ancestral land of the Holy Spirit, and now the most suitable place in the universe to nurture the Holy Spirit is Wuji Immortal Mountain.

Furthermore, Liang Yu was well-versed in the achievements of figures like the Moral Celestial Venerable, the Underworld Venerable, the Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable, and the Primordial Celestial Venerable, who had conducted in-depth research on the Holy Spirit during the mythological era. His theoretical knowledge was essentially at its peak. Not to mention, after the Underworld Venerable's death, Liang Yu's Source Techniques had become unparalleled in the human universe, and he was not far from reaching the realm of a Universe Lord.

In terms of practical experience, Liang Yu had personally strengthened the Holy Spirit Primordial and created the Immortal Fire Holy Spirit. He had also personally rescued the Moral Celestial Venerable and the Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable who had problems using this method.

Therefore, Liang Yu had everything ready for the method of transforming into a Holy Spirit.

The origin of Wuji Immortal Mountain fluctuated, and this wondrous place, which was completely connected with Liang Yu's energy, began to show signs of decay, as if it was about to perish. Even the immortal divinity within it began to dim, as if it were about to dissipate.

Of course, this doesn't mean Wuji Immortal Mountain is truly doomed; it's just that Liang Yu's aura intersected with itss, and his decline naturally affected the mountain's condition. So, which is currently the number one extraordinary place in the universe? Theoretically, it seems to be the Immortal Mausoleum and the Underworld. After all, both of these places have two Earth Immortals residing there, tirelessly cultivating and evolving them.

However, in reality, Wuji Immortal Mountain is no weaker than these two extraordinary places that have become blessed lands of Earth Immortals, or even Earth Immortal Grotto-heavens. This is because Liang Yu's special achievements from the mysteries of Origin Techniques and Earth Immortal Methods allow him to modify and strengthen Wuji Immortal Mountain without becoming an Earth Immortal.

Liang Yu's transformation into a Holy Spirit this time also requires the help of the Boundless Immortal Mountain. After all, this immortal mountain had already absorbed the Xuanqiong Divine Mountain, the ancestral land of Holy Spirits, when it was already very suitable for nurturing Holy Spirits. Using this place as a base, the transformation into a Holy Spirit would indeed be extremely efficient. This can be seen from the rapid formation of the Immortal Fire Holy Spirit.

No longer suppressing his decaying and withered aura, Liang Yu began his preparations.

First and foremost, he needed to seal off and hide Mount Wuji to prevent outsiders from disturbing him. Countless Origin Heaven Divine Runes and Array Runes intertwined, directly drawing upon the primal power of the universe, causing Mount Wuji to almost disappear into the depths of the universe, as if it were in another world.

Perhaps some can see the Boundless Immortal Mountain, but no one can sense its aura, let alone touch it. At this moment, the Immortal Mountain is like a mirage, an illusion.

In addition, this composite array pattern is also connected to Liang Yu's Qiankun Creation Tower, Nine Great Immortal Golden Pagodas and other important artifacts, serving as the array's core and manipulator for defense, counterattack, and escape.

This grand formation is also connected to the origin of Wuji Mountain, completely sealing off Wuji Immortal Mountain. Now, this immortal mountain, which has already faintly become a grotto-heaven world, has a boundary wall, and under the effect of the grand formation, it is almost completely cut off from the greater universe.

Although no one in the universe should disturb Liang Yu, this is just in case. After all, both the Moral Celestial Venerable and the Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable nearly ruined themselves using this method. Although their reasons were different, it's always better to be cautious.

Having seen that everything was ready, Liang Yu rose and entered the core treasure of Wuji Immortal Mountain—the Chaos Immortal Pool. Although the Immortal Pool appears to be just a pool of water on the surface, once inside, one would find that it is almost as vast as an ocean.

Liang Yu's body gradually dissipated, turning directly into a wisp of chaotic energy that plunged into the Chaotic Immortal Pool.

Subsequently, under the influence of the Source Technique, countless divine stones emanating chaotic energy began to grow from within the Boundless Immortal Mountain, completely sealing the Chaotic Immortal Pool within a stone shell, which vaguely revealed a human shape. The primordial power of the Boundless Immortal Mountain also began to flow into this stone embryo.

There are two kinds of Holy Spirits: one is a stone man, and the other is the manifestation of innate essence. Liang Yu's work this time is to combine the characteristics of these two Holy Spirits into one.

Wuji Immortal Mountain is the precious land that nurtured him, the Holy Spirit, while the stone embryo transformed from the Chaos Immortal Pool is the outer shell of the stone man that nurtured him. However, inside, what Liang Yu wants to transform into is a primordial chaotic energy.

When he is born in the future, he will be an unparalleled holy spirit, formed entirely from the chaotic energy of heaven and earth.
