Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 373 Ascension
Although Liang Yu had anticipated their intentions, he still said, "The three of you, have you thought this through? If you enter that strange world and have the substance of immortality, it will be very difficult to have another chance to transform."

“Every transformation and rebirth in the mortal world is of great significance. Even if one cannot become an immortal, it is still an exploration that is of great benefit to oneself. Perhaps its effect is not so obvious before becoming an immortal, but it will be very beneficial for the future.”

"Even disregarding all that, as long as you undergo a transformative rebirth, you can greatly shorten the process of becoming an immortal in any world. You still have some time left, are you really going to give up now?"

The Celestial Venerable of Nirvana smiled bitterly and said, "Only we know our own situation. My accumulation has been almost exhausted during my reincarnation and re-cultivation, and it is no longer sustainable. In the past ten thousand years, I have indeed found it difficult to accumulate anything new."

"Instead of that, I might as well go to the strange world while I'm still at my peak. Perhaps with the help of the longevity substance, I can find another way and forge a completely new path."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yu couldn't help but nod secretly. The choice made by the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana showed great self-awareness, as his situation was indeed as described.

Then he turned his gaze to the Undying Saint Emperor and the Azure Heaven Overlord: "What about you two? With your physical advantages, you should have a lifespan of over 20,000 years, but you've only just passed the halfway mark. Don't you really need to keep working harder?"

"I have methods for transformation here, and perhaps there are other paths that suit you?"

The Undying Holy Emperor sighed, "We have studied our own physiques together for many years and have also done a lot of research on the methods of immortality, but in the end, we still cannot transform them into a method to live a lifetime in reverse. The remaining nearly 10,000 years may not be enough."

The Overlord of the Azure Sky also said, "Yes, perhaps only by entering the strange world can we continue to break through our physical constitution with the help of longevity substances, and thus achieve transformation."

Seeing their stance, Liang Yu said, "Since you have made up your minds, I will grant your wish."

Then, he told them what he had seen during his two explorations of the strange world across the world barrier, including the laws of the strange world that were slightly different from those of the human world, and the longevity substances contained therein. Of course, he also told them about the native cultivators of the strange world.

Seeing that they had a general understanding of the strange world, Liang Yu said, "My fellow Daoists Yuanshi, Daode, Lingbao, and I once made an alliance with the cultivators of that world, agreeing to break through to the Immortal Realm together."

"With the strength of the three of you, you should soon reach the forefront of cultivators in this strange world. I hope you will be careful."

The three said in unison, "Thank you for your guidance, Great Celestial Venerable."

Immediately afterwards, the three left Wuji Immortal Mountain, while Liang Yu continued his arduous cultivation.

In the universe, three supreme auras soared into the sky, causing countless galaxies to tremble and myriad worlds to shake.

The Celestial Venerable of Nirvana stood in the void, surrounded by celestial light and divine brilliance. Within his celestial platform, the image of a Celestial Venerable appeared. In the radiant light of his primordial spirit, countless cultivators watching this scene saw a glimpse of their own future.

He was like a celestial being descending to earth, about to gracefully depart and ascend to immortality.

The Undying Holy Emperor was surrounded by dazzling golden light, his golden blood energy as vast as a boundless ocean, engulfing the starry sea and shaking the universe. Behind him, the Six Paths of Reincarnation faintly rotated, transforming into a precious wheel that hung behind his head, as if a celestial god had descended to earth, a celestial king had been reborn.

The aura of the Azure Heaven Overlord was even more striking. His purple blood and supreme aura caused the laws of heaven and earth in the vast starry universe to tremble and be suppressed to almost nothing, as if a unique god, an unparalleled god, was walking in the world.

The aura emanating from these three individuals drew the attention of all cultivators in the universe, even awakening the self-proclaimed Heavenly Emperor's Son. The cultivators of the universe quickly guessed what they were about to do. If there was anything in the mortal universe that warranted the gathering of the Annihilation Heavenly Venerable, the Undying Holy Emperor, and the Azure Heaven Overlord, it was undoubtedly the legendary Immortal Sect.

After understanding this, they felt a sense of relief, but also some doubts. To attempt to break through to the Immortal Gate at the peak of one's life after only ten thousand years—could it be that the Immortal Gate is still extremely difficult to enter?
The Celestial Venerable of Annihilation struck first, his divine light radiating from his immortal platform. A vertical eye appeared between his brows, and a beam of light shot out, tearing a large hole in the void and revealing the Immortal Gate. The Undying Holy Emperor and the Overlord of the Azure Heaven followed closely behind, each throwing a punch to widen the gap.

Then, the three of them worked together to open the immortal gate and enter the path to immortality.

Upon seeing the three of them, Xianzhong lazily asked, "What brings you three here?"

The Celestial Venerable of Nirvana said, "If you didn't come here for ascension, what else could it be for?"

The celestial bell suddenly jolted awake, its spirits lifted, and it said, "You've really come to ascend to immortality?"

The Undying Holy Emperor said, "How could this be false?"

Xian Zhong said happily, "Congratulations on becoming the first group of people to enter another world through the Ascension Array. For so many years, I thought I was just eating for free. Finally, I have a real job to do."

The three exchanged glances, but they knew that the Celestial Venerables had taken the Path of Immortals in the Mortal World, so it was normal that they hadn't left from here. As for the Undying Emperor, he was, after all, a peerless genius personally recognized by them, so it wasn't surprising that he could also take the Path of Immortals in the Mortal World.

Unexpectedly, they became the first group of human cultivators to enter this strange world.

Immediately, the three entered the great formation. In truth, it wouldn't have been that difficult for them to bombard the world barrier with their strength, but it wouldn't have been easy for each of them to enter unscathed.

With the help of this ascension formation, entering it is indeed not difficult.

So they used this to activate the great formation, breaking through the world's barrier and entering a strange world.

At the same time, the supreme beings in the strange world finally sensed this fluctuation once again.

They had been cooperating with that Wuji Tianzun for over 100,000 years, but no Dao-proving cultivators from the mortal realm had come. These cultivators thought something had happened to the mortal universe and that they had lost contact with it.

Now that someone has finally come, they can finally rest assured. After all, the conditions for entering the Immortal Realm are too demanding, and it would be difficult for the local cultivators of their world alone to meet them, whether it's the three Mortal Immortals or the Immortal Realm coordinates.

Therefore, they must cooperate with the human universe represented by the Supreme Celestial Venerable.

A supreme being asked, "These three appear quite extraordinary; they are likely among the top in our realm. How should we deal with them?"

The Lord of the Strange World laughed and said, "Of course, I personally greeted them and treated them like my own people."
