Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 316 Wang Bo
At this moment, in the Kunlun Sacred Realm, the Primordial Celestial Venerable was indeed extremely busy, so much so that although he sensed that Liang Yu was entering his later years in this life, he still did not go to observe him.

He now has two main tasks: first, to push his Creation Heavenly Art to its current limit, reaching a point where further progress is almost impossible. Although he has already cultivated the Creation Divine Body and reached an extremely deep level in this path, there is still considerable room for improvement.

Secondly, he wants to research methods to live a reversed life in the next one. His current intense research and unraveling of the mysteries contained within the humanoid divine tree is precisely for this purpose.

After all, having already developed a special physique, his most urgent task is to understand the essence of his physique, just like Liang Yu did in his third life.

Once this is achieved, it won't just be a simple matter of reversing one's life to the next; one could even gain benefits from reversing one's life in more than one lifetime.

Moreover, when Yuanshi Tianzun invited the Humanoid Divine Tree to Kunlun Sacred Realm, he promised to help the Humanoid Divine Tree study the secrets of transformation, so he naturally couldn't go back on his word. This would take up some of his energy.

Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun, who needed to achieve results in all three areas, really didn't have much free time.

Moreover, there is another issue: Yuanshi Tianzun also needs to resolve the path he will take in his next life.

After all, when this life ends, he will separate the Creation Dao Fruit and combine it with the Origin Cauldron of All Things to form a new avatar, allowing it to continue along the path that his original self has already basically established, requiring only arduous cultivation to perfect and refine. Just like the Primordial Banner and the Creation Dao Fruit.

At that time, after his original body lives out his next life, he will still need to cultivate new Dao and Dharma. Moreover, it must be related to his previous two Dao Fruits. Otherwise, how will he completely combine several unrelated Dao Fruits in the future to achieve transformation? In order not to destroy himself, these Dao Fruits must have something in common.

Of course, Yuanshi Tianzun already had a direction on this matter, which was chaos.

From the various manifestations of the Wuji Heavenly Venerable in his transformation into a chaotic body and his initial understanding of the laws of chaos, it can be seen that the laws of chaos, which are the highest priority laws that can encompass everything, are extremely mysterious, and even the laws of time are restrained by them.

If he wants to combine these completely different Dao fruits in the future, he may need to start with chaos. After all, the path of the Limitless Heavenly Venerable is the return of all laws to the origin of chaos.

If he were to fuse several Dao Fruits with Chaos, thereby achieving the ultimate sublimation and condensation of his own Dao Fruit, that would also be feasible.

Moreover, the Chaotic Body itself is a key node in the evolution of physique. Since he has already embarked on this path, evolving the Chaotic Body is also one of his future directions.

Therefore, in his next life, cultivating the Law of Chaos will allow him to directly unify the fusion of his Dao Fruit and the evolution of his physique, and evolve a Chaotic Body while advancing in both directions. This will undoubtedly be a crucial juncture on his path to immortality.

Of course, Yuanshi Tianzun himself didn't bother with this; he already had many other things to do. He delegated this task to his avatar, Yuanshi Fan.

The Primordial Banner has been drifting in the universe for tens of thousands of years, and during this time, it has never forgotten to cultivate diligently. Of course, it is not drifting aimlessly and cultivating incidentally, but searching for someone, a key figure who will determine its future path.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Primordial Banner obtained a wisp of chaotic energy from Liang Yu. This wisp of chaotic energy came from the then-not-fully-formed Big Dipper. In other words, it came from Wang Bo, the only known naturally born chaotic being in the human universe. After the Boundless Heavenly Venerable suppressed and killed Wang Bo and refined his corpse into the Big Dipper on the continent, everyone believed that this naturally born chaotic being, a rare sight even in millions of years, had died completely.

But Liang Yu knew he wasn't completely dead, so he took advantage of the fact that the Big Dipper hadn't fully formed to intercept a trace of his aura in an attempt to find Wang Bo.

Liang Yu had two objectives: first, to study the Chaotic Body and thereby accelerate his progress towards achieving the ultimate mastery of all laws and the unification of all laws; and second, to have Wang Bo resurrected to test the true nature of the Chaotic Body.

In the countless years that followed, although Liang Yu didn't specifically search for it, he had traversed most of the universe. Perhaps they were simply not meant to be, but Liang Yu never found any trace of this chaotic entity that was not quite dead.

Later, Liang Yu found the Chaos Green Lotus. Although it wasn't as intuitive as directly studying the Chaos Body, the chaotic laws it contained were enough for Liang Yu to complete the derivation of Chaos. Therefore, the search for Wang Bo was put on hold.

In fact, if Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to study chaos, he could have simply found the Chaos Immortal Scripture left by Liang Yu in the universe, borrowed his findings for free, and then used the Chaos Green Lotus to study it carefully.

As long as one stands on Liang Yu's shoulders, with the talent of Yuanshi Tianzun, it probably wouldn't be that difficult for him to research his own Chaos Immortal Scripture.

However, Yuanshi Tianzun still had his pride. While this approach would make it easier to achieve results, it was ultimately just copying others' ideas. He wanted to start from the Chaos Body himself, directly study its mysteries, and follow a different path from Liang Yu to cultivate the Laws of Chaos.

Perhaps because Wang Bo had finally recovered a little over the years, the Primordial Banner actually found him. However, now he only had a drop of his original true blood containing fragments of his primordial spirit, sealed within the Immortal Source. Even near this Immortal Source, numerous divine treasures were being continuously refined by countless array patterns, turning into nourishment that was channeled into this drop of true blood.

Clearly, Wang Bo was directly killed by Wuliang Tianzun at the cost of his own serious injury that day. Only a wisp of his primordial spirit escaped and fell into the resurrection array that Wuliang Tianzun had prepared in advance, where he began a difficult blood-dripping rebirth.

Yuanshi Banner could see that it would probably take millions of years for this drop of blood to truly recover into a complete chaotic entity. However, he could accelerate this process by continuously studying the laws of chaos.

The deeper his research into the laws of chaos, the more he can help this chaotic body be reborn. The more this chaotic body is reborn, the more he can comprehend the mysteries of the laws of chaos and the chaotic body itself.

This can be described as an excellent positive cycle. Moreover, even if Yuanshi Tianzun doesn't directly intervene, the immortal pool of Kunlun Sacred Realm alone can greatly accelerate Wang Bo's recovery process.

Although Wang Bo was only a drop of true blood containing fragments of his primordial spirit at this moment, he still sensed the aura of the Primordial Banner.

He struggled to gather his divine sense and said, "Are you the Primordial Celestial Venerable? The Boundless Celestial Venerable severed my physical form, and now you want to destroy my primordial spirit? Nine Celestial Venerables, are you so afraid of my attainment of Dao?"
