Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 338 Heading West

The avatar of the Celestial Venerable of Morality pondered and said, "Indeed, this method is only a method of the human universe. To make it applicable to all the heavens and myriad worlds and become an independent system is probably extremely difficult and beyond our current capabilities."

Liang Yu said, "Now I can only wait for Fellow Daoist Lingbao to wake up before discussing the Dao with him again, to see if we can explore new directions through the combination of array patterns and source techniques."

The avatar of the Celestial Venerable of Morality nodded and said, "I saw long ago that these array patterns and source techniques can complement each other. At least for now, this should be the most feasible direction."

Liang Yu said, "Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Morality could have used this divine embryo as a core to quickly restore your main body, but you didn't. I'm afraid you have something bigger in mind?"

In fact, if the Celestial Venerable of Morality wanted to reunite the fragments of the Great Dao that had dissipated in the Great Luo Immortal Mountain, he only needed to use this divine embryo and this one fragment of the Great Dao within it as the core. He could then quickly reunite all the fragments of the Great Dao and live out this life.

But he didn't do that; instead, he deliberately made this clone independent. He must have some new idea that requires this clone to exist.

The Celestial Venerable said, “What do you mean by ‘ambition’? That’s too much of an exaggeration. The methods I have cultivated are already perfect enough. I just need to cultivate some new methods to gain some insights and perhaps then I can come up with entirely new ideas.”

Liang Yu immediately understood, and he continued, "In that case, does Fellow Daoist know the method of fruit fusion?"

The Celestial Venerable of Morality said, "I have heard of it, but I have never tried it. What, Fellow Daoist Wuji, have also studied it?"

Liang Yu laughed and said, "It wasn't me, it was Fellow Daoist Yuanshi. During the time you were away, he separated two Dao Fruits and fused them with his two immortal artifacts to create clones, allowing these two Dao Fruits to continue to improve so that he can soar to the heavens in the future through the fusion of Dao Fruits."

Immediately, Liang Yu demonstrated this method of Yuanshi Tianzun to Daode Tianzun. Although Daode Tianzun had no cultivation at this time, his primordial spirit was extremely powerful, so he was still able to master the process.

The light of the Celestial Venerable of Morality's primordial spirit flickered continuously. After a long while, he sighed, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi is indeed incredibly talented. Truly, every generation produces its own geniuses. However, with this method, my avatar may be able to play a greater role. I really have to thank him."

Liang Yu said, "What you say is true, Fellow Daoist."

The two then began to discuss their respective understandings of the elixir of immortality and the laws of the universe.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality has conducted extremely in-depth research on the Bodhi Ancient Tree based on this fragment of the Great Dao. In terms of depth, it is probably unmatched by anyone in the universe for the time being. Liang Yu, on the other hand, has conducted in-depth research on the Humanoid Immortal Medicine, the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, the Fusang Divine Tree, the Laurel Divine Tree, and the Chaos Green Lotus. In terms of breadth, it is almost unparalleled.

Their exchange on this point was a powerful alliance, and both gained a great deal. After all, the secrets contained within these elixirs of immortality were not ordinary immortal laws, but rather originated from immortal kings. Even after being downgraded, they were still extraordinary.

As for the laws of the human universe, although the main body of the Celestial Venerable of Morality has not yet reunited, his understanding after merging with the laws of heaven and earth is still very profound. Although this avatar is relatively independent, its primordial spirit is synchronized with the main body, and therefore it has mastered all the achievements obtained by the main body.

As for Liang Yu, under the influence of the Chaos Holy Spirit, the intimacy between him and the universe reached an unimaginable level. Not to mention that he also mastered source techniques that were close to the level of a universe master. He could easily see through the essence of the laws of heaven and earth in this human universe and conduct in-depth research on them.

Therefore, they have each achieved great results in this area, and have also gained a lot from exchanging ideas with each other.

Before parting, the Celestial Venerable of Morality asked, "Fellow Daoist Wuji, what kind of Dao and Dharma should I cultivate for this body to have the greatest effect on my true nature?"

Although this avatar of the Moral Celestial Venerable was merely a spur-of-the-moment decision, it was initially a divine embryo he prepared to revive his main body. Therefore, although it wasn't the Moral Celestial Venerable's original form, it still possessed an unimaginably long lifespan. Having such a long lifespan, he wanted to maximize this advantage. That's why he asked Liang Yu for his opinion, seeking confirmation of the correctness of his ideas.

Liang Yu pondered and said, "The more different the path you cultivate is from your original body, the better. Fellow Daoist Lingbao's strength is largely due to his mastery of swordsmanship and array patterns, two seemingly unrelated fields, and his perfect combination of them."

“If you, fellow Daoist, wish to achieve greater success, then considering this direction is definitely the right thing to do.”

The Celestial Venerable of Morality smiled and said, "Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Wuji."

After saying this, Liang Yu's avatar disintegrated and disappeared, returning to the Great Luo Immortal Mountain.

Within the Boundless Immortal Mountain, Liang Yu opened his eyes. He had benefited greatly from this experience, and now it was time to proceed with the next stage of his cultivation.

Of course, his first step was to transform Wuji Immortal Mountain so that it could also generate special spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and develop into a special independent world.

As for the other insights gained from the discussions, he would need to digest them slowly. In his previous life, he lived for 80,000 years, and he would grow considerably in this life as well. Such a long period of time was enough for him to continuously improve.

Meanwhile, in the Great Luo Immortal Mountain, the Celestial Venerable of Morality, who had parted ways with Liang Yu, did not immediately begin to explore new directions. Instead, he chose to activate his improved version of the "Former" Secret to deduce a suitable direction.

Of course, the Celestial Venerable of Morality has his own methods of deduction, but now his avatar only has the power of his primordial spirit available, which is why things are the way they are.

Ultimately, he could only arrive at a vague direction: westward. It wasn't that he couldn't deduce further, but rather that he was destined to rebuild his cultivation in this life, and it was best to keep this primordial spirit untouched. This search process would also allow him to experience the myriad aspects of life and cultivate his mind amidst the mortal world.

Traveling the world with a tranquil mind that follows the natural way is the way that suits him best.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality arrived at the foot of Mount Daluo and said to the four magical treasures, "This time I need a magical artifact for protection. Which of you would like to accompany me?"

The Taiji diagram remained silent. Although the one before him was also the Celestial Venerable of Morality, he was, after all, just an avatar. As the Celestial Venerable of Morality's natal magic weapon, he naturally had to guard the original body.

The other three magical treasures, however, did not have this concern and immediately began vying to enter the world with the Celestial Venerable of Morality.

Finally, the Moral Celestial said, "In that case, I will choose for myself."

As he spoke, the Celestial Venerable of Morality casually took off the Vajra Bracelet and put it on his arm. He said, "For my mortal body, you are the most suitable. You are the one."

With that, he stepped out of Mount Daluo and headed west, entering an ancient star.
