Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 352 Repairing the Ancient Methods of Chaos
As the past vanished completely, Liang Yu bid farewell to the Celestial Venerable of Morality. This incarnation then dissipated, returning to the world, while the divine thought broke through the void and returned to the Boundless Immortal Mountain.

Within the Boundless Immortal Mountain, Liang Yu opened his eyes, divine light flashing within his body as he continuously derived the contents of the Chaotic Ancient Law.

Amidst the surging of qi and blood, the physical body is constantly tempered, making one's strength grow stronger and stronger; while opening up the ten grotto-heavens of the human body, and following the experience of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, they are combined into a single grotto-heaven...

In Liang Yu's eyes now, it is not difficult to evolve these realms to their ultimate level. He simply uses this process to continuously explore the ultimate secrets of this system and profit from it.

In this life, besides cultivating the Origin Technique to the level of the Cosmic Master, studying the Chaotic Ancient Method has also become one of his main goals.

Although the system from the Chaotic Ancient Era was not as advanced as the five major secret realms popular today, it had its unique advantages. While it wasn't as useful to Liang Yu as it was to the Celestial Venerable of Morality, it could still help him fill in the gaps in his cultivation and greatly increase his abilities.

Of course, for Liang Yu, this method was not enough to reverse his life, but it was of great use for his future.

After all, the Secret Realm system only includes the first half, which contains the five major Secret Realms. To continue progressing and become a Celestial King, one must pave the way and open up the sixth Secret Realm.

The Desolate Emperor deliberately left only this part of the system, hoping that future generations could forge their own paths and gain access to a wider world. Only such people could help him and change the course of events.

Therefore, Liang Yu naturally wanted to open up the sixth secret realm according to this route, rather than following other systems step by step.

Furthermore, Liang Yu will eventually create his own cultivation system, and being exposed to multiple systems will help him in this endeavor.

Although it may be a bit early to consider this now, we should make some plans and accumulate some resources early to shorten the time required.

Although theoretically, a large-scale invasion or even a grand sacrifice by the strange race would take at least several million years, who knows if it might happen earlier in this altered timeline? So he had to act quickly.

Buddhist scriptures and supernatural powers are less important. After all, Liang Yu has reached the point of unifying all methods; he only needs to study these methods briefly to derive corresponding variations, which might even be stronger than the originals. After all, the person who created these scriptures and supernatural powers is likely not as capable as Liang Yu now.

However, the six supernatural powers of Buddhism were still very enlightening for Liang Yu. He was heartbroken by the divine eye and the divine ear, but the power of knowing past lives would grant him near-omniscience, the power of eliminating defilements would make his Daoist mind clearer, and the power of divine speed could corroborate the riddle of the character "行" (xing), allowing him to take his self-created method of speed to a higher level.

But that's all it can do. Although they can serve as nourishment for Liang Yu's continuous progress, they are ultimately just a drop in the ocean.

Liang Yu was engrossed in his fervent cultivation, while the Celestial Venerable of Morality still had some final tasks to complete.

After the past completely dissipated, the world within this precious pearl began to crumble. The Moral Celestial Venerable walked directly out of the place through the almost completely collapsed array patterns.

Then the precious pearl completely dissipated, turning into a shower of light and vanishing entirely. And those countless wronged souls, filled with resentment, were reborn through the power of the Heavenly Venerable and his past divine abilities.

When Black Ox saw that the Celestial Venerable of Morality had reappeared, he said, "Master, have you finished your business?"

The Supreme Lord of Morality was about to answer, but then paused slightly and said, "Perhaps it's not over yet."

For some reason, he also faintly sensed a special aura, as if there was some connection between them. Black Ox, on the other hand, couldn't be happier. He wanted to continue following this master, so he happily handed the now-calmed Vajra Bracelet to the Celestial Venerable of Morality and asked, "So, where do we go next?"

The Supreme Lord of Morality laughed and said, "Continue westward and leave this ancient star."

The black ox reverted to its original form, transforming into a robust black ox, allowing the Celestial Venerable of Morality to once again ride on its back. A wisp of pure energy rose from beneath its feet, soaring directly into the sky and heading towards the void.

Just as the Celestial Venerable of Morality was about to put the Vajra Bracelet back on his arm, he discovered that although the other magical treasures inside the bracelet had been returned, there was still a purple-gold red gourd hidden in the space inside the circle.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality took out the gourd, examined it in his hand, and said, "This thing is quite interesting."

Black Ox couldn't help but ask, "Master, what's the origin of this gourd? When I was accidentally hit by it, I didn't even have the slightest ability to resist. Is this some kind of treasure for proving one's Dao?"

The Celestial Venerable of Morality said, "It is said that there are a total of thirty immortal herbs in the mortal world, and nearly half of them have died completely and disappeared from the mortal world. Among these herbs, there is a celestial vine that is entirely seven-colored and bears gourds of various colors. Each gourd is an extraordinary celestial ingredient that can be refined into an unparalleled celestial treasure."

Black Bull suddenly realized, "Could the legendary Immortal-Slaying Gourd from the mythological era also originate from here?"

The Supreme Lord of Morality said, "Perhaps I have never seen it either, and it is difficult to draw a conclusion."

When the fourth incarnation of the Celestial Venerable of Morality ended, the Immortal-Slaying Gourd had not yet appeared, so he naturally did not know its details. During his fifth incarnation's travels throughout the universe, he did learn of its existence, but still did not know its specifics.

He only knew of the gourd-shaped immortal vine, but had never seen it. Therefore, he could not determine the relationship between the Immortal-Slaying Gourd and the immortal vine.

The reason this purple-gold gourd was recognized was because it had not undergone much refinement. Even though it had been picked some time ago, it still looked full of vitality, as if it had not died yet, or as if it had just been picked. Therefore, the Celestial Venerable of Morality made this judgment.

Of course, if he were to specifically calculate it, he could know the details even if it involved an ancient celestial being, but the Celestial Venerable of Morality had no interest in it.

Time continued to flow, and the avatar of the Moral Celestial Venerable finally began his cultivation—of course, he was cultivating the Chaotic Ancient Method, not the Five Great Secret Realms. The Moral Celestial Venerable, leveraging his profound understanding, meticulously deduced the ultimate form of the Chaotic Ancient Method, naturally achieving exceptional efficiency.

Moreover, this clone of his is a practitioner of both Buddhism and Taoism. On one hand, he cultivates Buddhist scriptures and supernatural powers, and on the other hand, he constantly creates his own Taoist scriptures and supernatural powers that are suitable for the Chaotic Ancient Method.

Although he emphasized following the natural course of his cultivation and did not deliberately suppress his realm to pursue the ultimate, he still naturally and continuously broke through realms, reaching the ultimate of each realm's ultimate limit. After all, this kind of cultivation system relies on such exploration to continuously reach its limit.

As for the resources needed along the way, that was naturally no problem for the Moral Celestial. After all, there was almost no resource in the human universe that the Moral Celestial could not find, or at least could find a substitute for.

Of course, given the inherent potential of the divine embryo born from the Bodhi tree, the Celestial Venerable of Morality probably wouldn't need any resources to reach any ultimate realm.
