Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 332 Discussion
Liang Yu was actually very much looking forward to the creation of the method for forging the World Cauldron. Just because the Primordial Celestial Venerable didn't need it now didn't mean he wouldn't need it in the future. Wouldn't those worlds that had been irredeemably corrupted by the strange race be perfect for forging the cauldron?
After all, it's foreseeable that they won't be able to save the polluted world for a long time to come. So using them for refining cauldrons is, in a way, making use of waste.

Based on the current progress, they will definitely be able to become immortals before the end of this era. In fact, if all goes well, by the middle of this era, even the Primordial Celestial Venerable, who started the latest, will become an immortal.

Therefore, it will only be a few hundred thousand years before they enter the Immortal Realm. Now it's time to start thinking about the future.

Therefore, although Liang Yu knew that Yuanshi Tianzun's cultivation of the source would likely lead to this direction, he was still happy to see it happen.

In fact, it would be very convenient for Yuanshi Tianzun to further cultivate the Origin Arts. After all, he not only possessed superhuman talent, but also had the wondrous Kunlun Sacred Realm at his disposal, and even the Immortal Treasure Map containing the imprints of the human universe. He already possessed many of the conditions required for advancement in the Origin Arts.

Liang Yu smiled and said, "This technique was originally obtained from Fellow Daoist Mingzun. Moreover, without his help in deducing this technique, I would not have been able to cultivate it to this level. Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, you are his disciple, so it is only natural that I should pass this technique back to you."

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Fellow Daoist Wuji, please."

Although Liang Yu was in an avatar at this moment, he was still being manipulated remotely by his true self, so it could be considered that the two of them were having a direct conversation.

He followed the Primordial Celestial Venerable to the mountaintop, where there stood a Mysterious Jade Platform, as black as crystal, which was once one of the forbidden zones of life, the Dark Ice Plains.

Over the course of time, this place has been continuously refined by the Primordial Celestial Venerable into a secret artifact, generally used as a Taoist altar for calming the mind and focusing the spirit. Of course, this object can also be used as a secret artifact, directly transforming into a large seal to suppress enemies.

Liang Yu and Yuanshi Tianzun sat facing each other and began their long-awaited discussion on the Dao.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable asked, "I wonder how Fellow Daoist Wuji has progressed in his Origin Technique? I hope you will be so kind as to enlighten me."

Liang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, you are too kind. Now that you have also attained the Dao through Origin Techniques, I will recount the research results that Fellow Daoist Mingzun and I conducted in the past."

Having said that, he began to explain the techniques for advancing in Origin Arts. Although the Underworld Lord hadn't taught the part about the Lord of Heaven and Earth to the Primordial Heavenly Lord, he himself had studied the Kunlun Sacred Realm and therefore had some understanding of it. So he quickly grasped what Liang Yu was saying.

As for the Lord of the Universe, although Liang Yu hasn't truly achieved it yet, he has essentially traversed the path and only needs time to accumulate experience to complete it. Therefore, he can naturally explain this part directly. Although Yuanshi Tianzun didn't directly grasp it, he still gained considerable insights from it.

Upon hearing that Liang Yu had greatly increased his connection with the universe by leveraging the combined power of the Chaos Body and the Holy Spirit, thereby gaining a better grasp of the universe's origin and significantly reducing the difficulty of becoming the master of the universe, the Primordial Celestial Venerable couldn't help but sigh with admiration.

This is truly wonderful, as it combines personal transformation with the cultivation of Origin Arts.

Of course, the most wonderful thing is that the second incarnation of Yuanshi Tianzun was the method of transforming into a holy spirit. Therefore, although he has undergone several transformations, he still retains some characteristics of a holy spirit.

Next, he needs to transform into a chaotic body. In other words, the Primordial Celestial Venerable is about to meet the conditions for becoming a Universe Lord. Of course, meeting the conditions is one thing, actually achieving it is another. Given the Primordial Celestial Venerable's current mastery of source arts and his future cultivation plans, it's likely he'll need many lifetimes to reach this point.

Of course, the Primordial Celestial Venerable never intended to completely master the Source Techniques. Therefore, whether or not he became the Lord of the Universe was not important. What mattered was what he himself could gain from the advancement of the Source Techniques.

The exchange about the source techniques didn't take much time; Yuanshi Tianzun quickly absorbed everything Liang Yu said, and only needed some time to digest it.

However, the two hadn't seen each other for tens of thousands of years, so this was a good opportunity to continue their discussion and verify each other's achievements during this period. Of course, this also included the Chaos Laws, which Yuanshi Tianzun hadn't cultivated for very long at this time.

While not as profound and complete as Liang Yu's, Yuanshi Tianzun's research on the laws of chaos was still unique. After all, he had comprehended the laws of chaos from the very origin of Wang Bo, a true original chaotic being. Although he was only in the initial stages of his understanding, there were still some exquisite aspects that would leave Liang Yu in awe.

Liang Yu had initially believed he had perfected the Law of Chaos, but after transforming into a Chaos Saint Spirit, perhaps due to the change in his physique, his Law of Chaos underwent new transformations. Even so, however, his Law of Chaos did not fully encompass the portion comprehended by the Primordial Celestial Venerable. This made him realize that he had previously underestimated the Law of Chaos.

Yuanshi Tianzun naturally benefited more. After all, his Chaos Laws were only in their initial stages, and were indeed far inferior to Liang Yu's.

Following the laws of chaos, there will naturally be further discussion on various methods of transformation and rebirth.

Yuanshi Tianzun said to Liang Yu, "Over the years, I have been studying the Humanoid Divine Tree and have also come to understand the essence of special physiques, and the reason why mortal bodies are the foundation. Fellow Daoist Wuji, did you already grasp this mystery in your second life, which is why you were able to evolve new physiques multiple times?"

Liang Yu was slightly taken aback, but this was normal. Given Yuanshi Tianzun's talent, it was not surprising that he grasped this principle in his fourth incarnation.

He said, “Fellow Daoist Yuanshi is right. The first half of my journey to immortality in the mortal world was basically centered around this realization. Therefore, the third life is indeed one of the most crucial moments on my journey to immortality in the mortal world.”

It was precisely because Liang Yu grasped the essence of physique that his third incarnation showed an extremely exaggerated increase in life compared to his second. Keep in mind that his third incarnation lasted forty-eight thousand years, an increase of eighteen thousand years from his second incarnation's thirty thousand years.

Yuanshi Tianzun continued, "Since that's the case, then Fellow Daoist Wuji, do you think that if I cultivate the Chaos Law to its extreme, just like transforming myself into other special physiques, I can directly transform into a Chaos Body?"

Liang Yu nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, the method you mentioned is something I also thought of when I was evolving the Chaos Body, but I didn't have the opportunity to verify it. Now that you, Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, have also understood this point, the two points corroborate each other, which is enough to prove the feasibility of this method."

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Since you, Fellow Daoist Wuji, have also come to understand this point, then I am relieved."
