Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 359 The Resurrection of the Moral Celestial Venerable
Time continued to flow, and thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye.

For these supreme celestial beings who have embarked on the path to immortality in the mortal world, the changes in the world are endless, but they themselves seem to have already achieved immortality, and thousands or tens of thousands of years cannot leave a trace on their bodies. In the eyes of the world, living for hundreds of thousands of years is not much different from becoming an immortal.

However, apart from the Underworld Emperor and the Longevity Celestial Venerable who have embarked on the path of Earthly Immortals, even Liang Yu, who is currently at the forefront, can still keenly perceive the influence of the power of time on them and sense their lifespan gradually slipping away.

Because of their immense power, they are even more acutely aware of how they change with time. This sense of urgency prevents them from becoming complacent, even with a lifespan of tens of thousands of years.

Although they already have the strange world as a fallback option, given their foundation and performance, if they enter the strange world, it might be much easier for them to become immortals.

However, the few remaining individuals are all proud and arrogant geniuses who are unwilling to be inferior to others. It is impossible for them to settle for second best after knowing about the Path to Immortality in the Mortal World.

Therefore, they all devoted themselves wholeheartedly to cultivation and transformation. They even deliberately increased the difficulty for themselves to achieve greater results. The avatar of the Moral Celestial Venerable was, in a sense, born from this process.

As the most senior among the existing Celestial Venerables, he naturally didn't want to fall behind, so he directly used two transformation methods in his sixth incarnation. However, this unintentionally paved the way for his seventh incarnation, so it wasn't a loss.

Now, this avatar of the Celestial Venerable of Morality is already five thousand years old. In these five thousand years, his cultivation has continued to improve, seemingly without limit. In fact, he is currently in a period of rapid growth.

He has reached a very deep level in his research on the ancient chaos method, and a complete Daoist scripture belonging to the ancient chaos system has also emerged.

Of course, the Celestial Venerable of Morality also studied Buddhist traditions and created his own ancient Buddhist scripture. However, this scripture is not as good as his Taoist scripture.

After all, he only used the study of these Buddhist traditions as a reference and did not actually take them as his own path.

However, the Celestial Venerable of Morality did not awaken Zhang Bairen. He would decide when to bring Zhang Bairen into the world after his mission as an incarnation was completed.

At this moment, the Celestial Venerable of Morality ended his thousands of years of arduous cultivation. Although it was an avatar, his primordial spirit was still completely one with his original body, so he naturally sensed that his original body was about to complete its transformation and truly live out its sixth incarnation.

However, just as the aura of the Celestial Venerable of Morality began to condense, Mount Daluo began to change first.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality transformed himself into a Dao Imprint containing true spirit, a realization he derived from the ancient tea tree and the ancient Bodhi tree. However, his dispersal of this imprint into the Dao of Heaven and Earth was inspired to some extent by the methods of the Earthly Immortals.

Therefore, although the Celestial Venerable of Morality did not master the Origin Techniques, nor did he transform into an Earth Immortal, in his years of Dao Integration, he still gained a deep understanding of the Great Dao Laws of the human universe, thus promoting the evolution of the Great Luo Immortal Mountain.

Originally, although Mount Daluo was a wondrous place, it had not yet begun to evolve into an independent world. Therefore, it lagged behind Mount Wuji, Kunlun Sacred Realm, Jade Flower Divine Island, and the two blessed lands of the Immortal Mausoleum and the Underworld.

But now, thanks to the promotion and influence of the Celestial Venerable of Morality, the Great Luo Immortal Mountain has finally achieved this step and has begun to form a thin barrier around the world.

However, under the deliberate manipulation of the Celestial Venerable of Morality, this Great Luo Immortal Mountain did not continue to expand and evolve into a real world. Instead, it gradually began to connect with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, seemingly destined to become the closest place to the Dao in the universe.

Under this change, the entire Great Luo Immortal Mountain began to be shrouded in immortal energy, as if even the mud, sand, and rocks had turned into immortal crystals and divine essence, almost as if they had transformed from matter into crystallized energy.

Its core, the Xuandu Cave, is extraordinary. Although it is just a chaotic cave with a small space, it seems to be completely interwoven with the laws of heaven and earth, as if one could see through all the changes in the laws of the human universe simply by standing here.

In other words, Mount Daluo is now considered a world within a world, with the mountain itself being a world in itself, and the Xuandu Cave is faintly another, even more advanced world. In fact, this wondrous place is somewhat different from others; other wondrous places, even Mount Tai or the old Kunlun Immortal Mountain, all have their core areas still within this world.

Only the core Xuandu Cave of the Great Luo Immortal Mountain was an incompletely formed chaotic cave from the beginning. It was another cave world that existed attached to the immortal mountain, but its internal space was still very small.

Now, thanks to the guidance of the Celestial Venerable of Morality, the extraordinary nature of this wondrous place has finally come to fruition.

During this process, both of the immortality elixirs held by the Celestial Venerable of Morality also gained immense benefits, although the Bodhi Tree obviously gained even more.

After all, the evolution of Mount Da Luo was accomplished by the Daoist Master Morality after merging with the Dao and invoking the Great Dao of the Universe, and the Bodhi Ancient Tree was clearly more in line with such a change.

However, during the process of the Heavenly Venerable of Morality using its form to nurture the divine embryo and the baptism of the Great Dao caused by this transformation, the Bodhi Ancient Tree also began to undergo subtle evolution and acquire higher wisdom.

Perhaps in the future it will gradually take on the path of human form, but its progress is currently far slower than that of the human-shaped immortal medicine, the chaotic green lotus, the ginseng fruit tree, and the enlightenment ancient tea tree.

But everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is already very difficult to have this opportunity.

After all, even creatures like Fusang and Yuegui had followed Liang Yu for quite some time and had benefited from the evolutions of Wuji Immortal Mountain more than once, yet they still hadn't reached this point. The other elixirs of immortality were even less likely to achieve this.

After everything in the Great Luo Immortal Mountain finally stabilized, the aura of the True Heavenly Venerable of Morality began to gather continuously, and the Xuandu Cave began to be filled with a mysterious and profound aura.

Over the years, the Dao Imprints that the Celestial Venerable of Morality had transformed into in his true form have been constantly reuniting, and finally he has successfully gathered all these Dao fragments in the Xuandu Cave.

Over the years, the true spirits within these fragments began to awaken and resonate with each other, thus faintly forming a blurry shadow in the void of Xuandu Cave, existing between existence and non-existence. Now, he has finally completed his reunion and begun to reshape his form.

Within the Xuandu Cave, a stream of celestial light flowed, continuously drawing upon the essence of the Great Luo Immortal Mountain, and even extracting the essence of the universe, which was then injected into this illusory figure.

Soon, the shadow in Xuandu Cave gradually began to show color, and then began to expand, becoming three-dimensional, and finally becoming a real human shape.

He opened his eyes, took a step forward and stepped out of the void, truly arriving in the human world.

The aura of the sixth incarnation of the Moral Celestial Venerable did not become much larger; it was merely mysterious and profound, impossible to fathom.

He seemed to be one with heaven and earth, born with all things. Although he was a person, he seemed to be integrated with the rules of the Great Dao, as if he were the embodiment of the Great Dao.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality stood facing his avatar, their auras merging as if they were about to become one. After all, the core of this avatar was a fragment of the Great Dao that he had separated, and now that the other fragments had been reunited, this one was naturally being drawn together by the energy.

However, the Celestial Venerable of Morality proactively interrupted this process. After all, it was too early for integration to maximize the benefits, and it would be a waste of his achievements.
