Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 369 Lord of the Universe

In Liang Yu and Yuanshi Tianzun's plan, the Immortal Golden Body Ancestor and the Azure Heaven Overlord Body Ancestor were the best candidates to use the Dao-Merging Flower.

Firstly, they are considered half successors of Liang Yu and Yuanshi Tianzun; secondly, they possess special physiques and great strength, and if they can break through the limitations to attain enlightenment, their potential will be limitless.

Although it is still inferior to the top-tier types, such as the Primordial Immortal Embryo or the Chaos Body, its perfect harmony with its respective physique means that its ultimate achievement may not necessarily be inferior to theirs.

Now that there is a strange world, as long as they enter it, they will always have the opportunity to shine.

The reason for paying attention to both of them is that directly enabling someone to achieve enlightenment through the Harmony Flower would actually result in a lot of waste.

The Harmony Flower is a rare and wondrous object in the universe. Not only is it unique, but its effects are also incredibly powerful. Even an ordinary person can directly attain enlightenment simply by fully embracing the Harmony Flower.

The Undying Golden Body Ancestor and the Azure Heaven Overlord Body Ancestor, after accumulating over three lifetimes, are almost comparable to ordinary Dao Provers. Although they have physical problems and are now suppressed by the Dao Imprint of the Annihilation Heavenly Venerable, it would still be a waste for either of them to use the entire Dao Integration Flower.

Through their research, Liang Yu and Yuanshi Tianzun precisely calculated the divine power contained within the Harmony Flower, realizing that this Harmony Flower could enable both of these progenitors to break through limitations and attain enlightenment.

However, apart from Liang Yu and Yuanshi Tianzun, who have in-depth research on the Hedao Flower, no one else, even if they knew this, could use the Hedao Flower on two people and still make it effective.

As for why the Harmony Flower is being used now, it's because the Strange World has also begun to engage in fierce infighting in recent years. Although the intensity is much lower than that of the human universe, its overall strength has still increased.

To gain a foothold in this strange world, we still need a few more Dao Proving Persons who are relatively stronger.

Although the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana was not weak, there were still a few beings in the strange world who were no weaker than him, or even stronger. Therefore, Liang Yu sent these two ancestors along, so that they could look out for each other.

Liang Yu said, "In that case, I will make the trip."

Liang Yu has lived for 20,000 to 30,000 years in his sixth life. Although he has been much more active than others during this time, his cultivation has still made some progress.

The most prominent of these is naturally the Origin Technique. Ever since Liang Yu first attained enlightenment, he obtained the complete Origin Scripture from the Underworld Lord, thus mastering the Origin Technique.

Nearly 300,000 years have passed, and Liang Yu has finally mastered the Origin Technique to its peak. In other words, he has now reached the level of a Universe Lord.

Having reached this level, Liang Yu could manipulate and control everything in the universe at will, even the laws of the Great Dao and the Heavenly Heart Mark. At this point, the human universe was practically his backyard.

As a result, Wuji Immortal Mountain was transformed by Liang Yu and underwent another evolution, truly securing its position as the number one wonder in the universe.

This also means that he has already prepared the method for his next life's transformation.

After all, Lingbao Tianzun can transform himself by using array patterns and absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to undergo a metamorphosis. Liang Yu's Origin Technique, at the level of a universe master, can easily mobilize the origin of the universe to complete the metamorphosis.

Of course, Liang Yu could have used this method long ago, but it was most effective after reaching the level of a Cosmic Master, so he deliberately preserved this method of reversing life. Only now is his nearly 300,000 years of accumulation about to begin to exert its maximum effect.

For him now, the only thing he absolutely had to do was combine Source Techniques with Array Patterns to form a new method. As for his personal cultivation, he had already reached a point where he could hardly make any progress.

Perhaps only after he has truly aged and is no longer burdened by time can he take the next step and begin exploring advanced content such as the Sixth Secret Realm. Therefore, Liang Yu is indeed more leisurely in this life compared to others. So, the Primordial Celestial Venerable simply entrusted this matter to Liang Yu.

Seeing that Liang Yu agreed, Yuan Shi Fan took his leave.

Of course, Liang Yu didn't need to use his main body. He simply mobilized the origin of the universe to condense a clone, and then used the split-body technique to separate a part of his primordial spirit to take over, forming another version of himself.

Originally, this clone of Liang Yu could only bear a trace of his divine thought, thus its strength was limited; now, this clone has become stronger and more solid, and can even bear a wisp of Liang Yu's primordial spirit.

With just this clone, he could easily suppress the vast majority of those who had attained enlightenment in this universe.

Liang Yu's clone held the Dao-Merging Flower in his hand and soared into the sky. At the same time, he used Origin Technique to remotely activate the self-sealed Immortal Origins of the two Ancestors, awakening them.

Although the Undying Golden Body lineage and the Azure Heaven Overlord Body lineage are still at odds and regard each other as one of their greatest rivals, constantly competing, they have not become mortal enemies because the two progenitors stood on the same side.

After being awakened, the Undying Golden Body Ancestor learned the current time through his divine sense. He had been sealed away for over 90,000 years, and the one he trusted to prove his Dao was the re-cultivated Heavenly Venerable of Annihilation. This made him sigh at the passage of time.

Over the years, the Undying Golden Body lineage has grown and developed into a large clan, becoming a significant lineage within the human race.

However, the pure-blooded Undying Golden Body of ancestral origin and the innate First Generation Undying Golden Body are extremely rare, so those who can achieve a fully developed Undying Golden Body are even rarer. But even with a fragmented Undying Golden Body bloodline, their overall strength is not bad.

Seeing his descendants prospering, the Immortal Golden Ancestor rose and stepped out of the ancestral star, heading into the depths of the starry sky.

His heart was filled with excitement. After many years, he finally had hope of attaining enlightenment and even ascending to another realm to pursue immortality.

Soon, he arrived at the designated location, where the progenitor of the Azure Heaven Overlord Body had already arrived.

Upon their long-awaited reunion, the Primordial Overlord said, "It seems you've really aged; even this short distance took you so long."

The Immortal Golden Body Ancestor said, "It's been many years since we last met, and the first thing you say is this. You really are old in years but young in spirit."

Just as the two were about to start arguing, Liang Yu appeared silently in front of them.

From the moment they saw Liang Yu, their long-buried memories began to resurface. The familiar but unrecognizable face finally matched the one they knew as the Great Celestial Venerable.

The Immortal Golden Body Ancestor said with some shock, "You, you are the Limitless Heavenly Venerable?"

Even the progenitor of the Overlord Body was surprised, but he did not speak.

Liang Yu did not continue to maintain his supernatural powers, and their memories naturally began to function normally, thus recognizing Liang Yu's identity.

After all, they were cultivators born at the end of the mythological era, when the legend of Liang Yu was still prevalent, and they had a relatively good understanding of the Wuji Heavenly Venerable.
