Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 375 Divine Soul Rebirth
Time flies, and ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. The Great Dao left behind by the Immortal Emperor of Kunlun is about to completely dissipate, and the universe will once again begin to flourish.

Looking at the Origin Heaven Divine Pattern and Array Pattern constantly evolving and colliding in his palm, yet always remaining clearly distinct, Liang Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness.

Nearly 60,000 years have passed since Lingbao Tianzun lived out his sixth incarnation. He had communicated with Lingbao Tianzun several times, researching how to combine array patterns with source techniques to form a new method, but he had never succeeded.

However, the two of them also benefited greatly from this process. Liang Yu's array pattern skills were already quite strong, and they became even stronger through exchanges and deductions with Lingbao Tianzun.

Although Lingbao Tianzun had not studied the Origin Techniques, he had fully mastered them by incorporating and integrating them during his deductions.

Even so, the source techniques and array patterns still failed to merge and create a new method. However, the two of them had completely mastered how to perfectly combine these two methods and make them complement each other.

But that's normal. What they're doing now is almost like creating the prototype of a new cultivation system, so it's to be expected that it's difficult.

Fortunately, both Liang Yu and Lingbao Tianzun have already lived out the direction of their next life, so the process of deducing the new law can continue in the next life. Therefore, Liang Yu is not in such a hurry.

Therefore, with most of Lingbao Tianzun's current life already over, he temporarily suspended their regular collaborative deductions to allow time for the two of them to prepare for their next transformation.

Liang Yu opened his eyes and began to observe the current situation in various parts of the universe. He then discovered that the Undying Emperor, who was in seclusion in the Primordial Ancient Mine, had entered his later years and was about to begin his next life.

After all, the Immortal Emperor's rebirth and fourth incarnation through the power of faith was already 50,000 years ago.

Although the Immortal Emperor's achievements in this life were remarkable, showing a significant improvement over his previous nirvanas, the fact that he was able to extend his lifespan by 20,000 years was indeed a terrifying thing.

This is understandable, since the Immortal Emperor is the first enlightened being to achieve Nirvana through the power of faith.

Liang Yu's avatar reappeared in the Primordial Ancient Mine. The Primordial Mine had once again fallen into slumber, but its life force was growing stronger, as if it were a true celestial embryo.

Therefore, only the Immortal Emperor remains here, and even the Divine Phoenix Immortal Elixir has taken root here with him.

Looking at the immortal emperor, who was already in his twilight years and about to die, Liang Yu said, "It seems that your life is also coming to an end."

The Immortal Emperor seemed to have anticipated Liang Yu's arrival, and thus calmly said, "Master, I happen to need your help."

Liang Yu sat opposite him and said, "Do you want me to set up an array to seal you, so as to prevent you from having a negative impact on the outside world?"

The Immortal Emperor said, "Master's insight is indeed profound."

The Immortal Emperor's method of Nirvana this time actually focuses on the primordial spirit.

In the universe of Shrouding the Heavens, there are three strange substances related to longevity: the Lake of Reincarnation, the Flying Immortal Waterfall, and the Divine Soul Pool.

The Lake of Reincarnation was left behind by the Underworld Lord during his transformation, and it has now become one of the core treasures of the Underworld, which can only be seen by those who are not direct descendants.

The Flying Immortal Waterfall is a special substance left behind by countless supreme beings who have attempted to ascend to immortality throughout history. It possesses the ability to open the barriers between worlds and connect the two realms, and it is currently in the hands of the Undying Emperor.

The last type of Soul Pool is a special substance left behind by the Immortal Emperor during his transformation. Originally, before the Immortal Emperor underwent this nirvana, the Soul Pool naturally did not exist. The method the Immortal Emperor has developed is actually the result of that transformation in the original timeline that created the Soul Pool.

Specifically, the Immortal Emperor allowed his primordial spirit to be reborn as a divine embryo, using the old body and perhaps other things as nourishment to nurture the growth of this divine embryo, ultimately achieving Nirvana.

When his primordial spirit is born, a special substance is produced and gathers into a pool of water, which is called the Divine Soul Pool.

Once his old body has been drained of its essence, it will completely decompose and turn into corpse energy. If left unattended, it will cause enormous pollution to the nearby starry universe.

Clearly, the Undying Emperor had anticipated this, which is why he hoped Liang Yu would intervene to block and seal away any potential corpse energy, preventing it from dissipating.

The Immortal Emperor's discovery of this method was actually closely related to the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation. When the Immortal Emperor, who had not yet attained enlightenment, first encountered the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation, he discovered that he was slightly inferior in terms of primordial spirit. Meanwhile, one of his opponents, Ning Fei, was also well-versed in the secrets of the previous character. Therefore, from that moment on, the Immortal Emperor paid great attention to his primordial spirit.

This is precisely why the immortal emperor's primordial spirit power in this timeline is terrifyingly strong.

Later, he gained inspiration from the knowledge Liang Yu shared with him and his own insights into the Dao of the Primordial Spirit. He also referred to the incomplete scriptures left behind by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor that Liang Yu had obtained, and thus he figured out this method.

Liang Yu said, "Such a small matter is perfectly acceptable."

After Liang Yu agreed, the Undying Emperor disregarded the fact that this was merely an avatar rather than his true form, and immediately closed his eyes to concentrate on cultivating his primordial spirit power. He had absolute faith in his master, Liang Yu.

Liang Yu shook his head and waved his hand. Instantly, countless Origin Heaven Divine Runes and Array Runes intertwined and appeared. With the blessing of his Origin Technique at the Universe Master level, although this great array did not consume his power, it still became incredibly mysterious, as if it had directly formed a small world, isolating it from all external influences.

Of course, this grand formation was formed by using the Primordial Ancient Mine as its core, leveraging the very origin of the universe. Moreover, this process also allowed the dormant Primordial Era to grow more rapidly.

A burst of divine light flashed from the Immortal Emperor's Altar, and then a small divine phoenix flew out from it, gradually transforming from a primordial spirit into a divine embryo. If one were to sense it closely, one could even feel a faint aura of immortality within it.

Then, the old body abandoned by the Immortal Emperor began to rapidly lose its vitality, and even melted under the methods he had left behind, eventually losing its human form completely and becoming a lump of flesh and blood like mud.

This mass of flesh transformed into a ball, enveloping the divine embryo that the Immortal Emperor had created beforehand, rising and falling with the pulse of the embryo. With each rise and fall, the ball gradually shrank, as if the life essence within it was being squeezed out and absorbed.

During this process, the divine embryo also began to faintly show signs of life, though it was difficult to detect.

Under the influence of the grand array set up by Liang Yu, the Primordial Ancient Mine and the Origin of the Great Universe continuously provided energy to this fleshy ball. Therefore, whenever the fleshy ball was shriveled up by the divine embryo, countless energies would pour in from the outside to replenish it, causing the fleshy ball to expand again.

Under Liang Yu's discerning eye, he naturally noticed the small amount of special liquid slowly forming inside the fleshy ball.

As the divine embryo continues to grow, these liquids will gradually accumulate, eventually completely immersing the embryo like amniotic fluid, marking the beginning of an even longer gestation period. These special liquids are naturally the water of the Divine Soul Pool.

The corpse energy that slowly began to grow within this fleshy ball was also collected and sealed by the great formation, preventing it from escaping into the outside world.

With Liang Yu's help, the Immortal Emperor's rebirth was much faster than normal this time. As a result, the time it takes for the Immortal Emperor to become a Mortal Immortal might be shortened considerably, no longer requiring millions of years as in the original timeline.
