Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 349 Divine Thoughts

Unlike the Black Ox, who was all the rage outside, the Celestial Venerable of Morality appeared much more unassuming. Long before the three Great Sages clashed with the Black Ox, he had already entered the depths of Seven Treasures Ridge. Using the special aura he sensed, he easily discerned his direction from the countless worlds contained within the endless array patterns.

Although this place was also covered with countless array patterns at that time, and the Celestial Venerable of Morality did not yet have any cultivation, his profound realm enabled him to perfectly pass through each array pattern without being harmed, even through the damage caused by the passage of time.

Soon, he arrived at the core area of ​​this place, which was a secret treasure made from the relic of an ancient supreme being, containing a small world.

Immediately, the Celestial Venerable of Morality activated the array patterns here, allowing the treasure ship to reappear. While such a massive change was taking place in the outside world, the Celestial Venerable of Morality entered this secret artifact, which was also on the verge of destruction.

Upon entering this small world, the Celestial Venerable of Morality saw a familiar figure.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Fellow Daoist Wuji, what brings you here?"

When he was born in this place, Liang Yu also sensed a special aura. Therefore, he directly sent a divine thought to break through the void and came to this place. He then used the Origin Technique to briefly condense a temporary clone from the origin of the universe.

After all, this is an ancient Buddhist relic, and for Liang Yu, who has now unified all laws, it is a kind of supplement. In the current human universe, there is basically no law that can surpass his evolution, but these might be different. After all, their laws come from before the mythological era.

Liang Yu said, "Like you, Fellow Daoist, I've come to see off the fellow Daoist inside and also to learn about the ancient Buddhist sect."

"I never imagined there was such a place in the human universe. I guess I'm just taking advantage of your good fortune, fellow Daoist."

The Celestial Venerable said, “In that case, we shall go together. I am also somewhat curious about what happened in Buddhism in the past.”

With Liang Yu's source technique enhancement, they instantly shrank the distance and arrived at the core of this place.

This small world contained countless golden corpses, clearly belonging to high-ranking Buddhist cultivators. However, the moment the seal was broken by the Celestial Venerable of Morality, they were swept away by the river of time and completely decayed.

The slightest breeze stirred up by Liang Yu and the Celestial Venerable of Morality as they passed by was enough to turn these once nearly immortal corpses into dust and dissipate them into the world.

Soon, they arrived at the core of this world. Although there were more than one supreme array rune here, they were all incomplete and near destruction. Of course, even if these array runes were completely intact, they would not be able to stop their progress.

The divine embryo that the Celestial Venerable of Morality conceived from the Bodhi tree had some inexplicable connection with this place. After entering and exploring, the Celestial Venerable of Morality learned that this was because the ancient Bodhi tree had long been rooted in this place and had been closely related to its prosperity.

Moreover, the trunk of the ancient Bodhi tree, which remained before its Nirvana, has now been completely worn away by the power of time and turned to ashes.

At the heart of this small world was a blue lamp, its faint flame nearly extinguished. It was an ultimate divine weapon, but it had been worn down to the point of near complete destruction.

Within this divine lamp resides a consciousness, a divine thought, yet not merely the obsession of an ancient enlightened being; it also gathers the resentment of countless departed souls. Under these two forces, this divine thought becomes incredibly terrifying.

It is because of his existence that this ancient star has always possessed a special power to bewitch the mind. Of course, this is also because, under the power of time, even the divine lamp that sealed him was about to extinguish, causing his aura to leak out.

Although this realm has always been in a closed state, and due to some special environmental factors, it has been blocked from erosion for most of the time, but this divine thought is about to completely perish. The Celestial Venerable of Morality and Liang Yu exchanged a glance, and then moved the green lamp away, releasing the divine thought.

Suddenly, a terrifying and chaotic aura emanated, and a black figure, resembling a vengeful ghost, slowly crawled out from the ground. A series of ghostly wails and howls echoed in the hearts of Liang Yu and the Celestial Venerable of Morality, but they could not shake their resolve.

This divine consciousness was on the verge of complete collapse, yet it still struggled to attack them. However, under Liang Yu's Source Technique, countless Source Heavenly Divine Runes intertwined into chains, firmly binding it and rendering it unable to move.

Liang Yu sighed, "We can't communicate with him in this state. Let's bring back his true self."

The Supreme Lord of Morality said: "Since divine thoughts have arisen, it means that he still has unresolved attachments. Let us listen to what he has to say."

After saying that, the two of them began to chant scriptures.

"The accumulated yang becomes the spirit, and there is form within the spirit. The form is born from the sun, and the sun is born from the moon. The accumulated yin forms the form, and there is spirit within the form..."

This ancient scripture naturally comes from the Salvation Scripture of Lingbao Tianzun. Although this scripture was created in response to the calamity of corpses and was mainly used to suppress various monsters generated by the transformation of corpses, including even ancient corpse spirits, its scope actually extends beyond that.

Even beings like deities, born from obsession and faith, and resembling wandering ghosts, can be restrained by this scripture of salvation.

During their conversation, the scripture was revealed by Lingbao Tianzun, which is why these celestial beings from the mythological era all possessed the complete scripture.

"A clear mind illuminates all things. A powerful spirit conquers all senses in a single breath. With a single-minded focus, one observes all things..."

Under the recitation of the two celestial deities, even though they did not use any supernatural powers, every word in this ancient scripture naturally generated boundless celestial light, which was imprinted in the void.

Under this power, the deity immediately let out a series of miserable screams, black energy emanated from his body and continued to dissipate, and even the countless chaotic and complicated resentments on his body began to be peeled away and converted.

Liang Yu and the Celestial Venerable of Morality were also somewhat moved, wondering just how many lives' resentment this deity carried to be able to persist for a while under their chanting.

However, he was just a ghost after all. Liang Yu and the Celestial Venerable of Morality did not need to use any power. Their profound realm and understanding of the Scripture of Salvation were enough to subdue him.

Soon, the countless resentments attached to him were stripped away one by one, turning into pieces of light rain and dissipating.

Finally, the divine thought began to become increasingly blurry and transparent, and slowly it stopped making any sound.

Then, a vast and invincible aura permeated the past, present, and future, erupting in an instant.

Fortunately, the Celestial Venerable of Morality had the foresight to have the Black Ox use the Vajra Bracelet to block the aura of this small world, thus preventing it from leaking out.
