Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 386 The Prototype of a Supreme Immortal Artifact
Liang Yu did not merge his ten pagodas into one immediately. Instead, he continued to maintain the state of the ten pagodas. He wanted to bring out the full potential of the materials and special features of each pagoda before merging them together. Only in this way could he forge a supreme immortal artifact.

The Qiankun Creation Tower perfectly matches Liang Yu's own Dao Fruit, allowing him to evolve his supreme Dao Fruit; the nine immortal golden pagodas not only maximize the use of their materials, but also contain the secret of the nine secrets combined into one, naturally possessing the power to turn decay into wonder.

The fusion of these ten pagodas will naturally give birth to an unparalleled celestial artifact.

Liang Yu not only aspires to become a mortal immortal, but also to reach the pinnacle of immortality. Naturally, his natal pagoda must also reach its zenith, achieving the ultimate in the realm of mortal immortal artifacts. Such an artifact, even as he grows stronger in the future, will be able to continuously evolve alongside him.

It's just unknown whether the pinnacle of immortality, which can rival an immortal king, can rival an immortal artifact that has reached this level.

However, Liang Yu's pagodas are not perfect as they are now, and because the strength of each pagoda has been increased to the extreme, the difficulty of merging and unifying them will also increase.

Therefore, during this refining process, Liang Yu also referenced the state of Lingbao Tianzun's Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation before its upgrade, using source techniques and array patterns as the core methods to construct a complex and wondrous array diagram, with these ten pagodas serving as key nodes, connecting them into one.

In this way, not only can the difficulty of its fusion be reduced, but the mysteries of the source technique can also be included, thus fully encompassing Liang Yu's personal Dao and Dharma.

Because Liang Yu had referenced his self-created technique of splitting the spirit early on, he cultivated the deities of the nine Immortal Golden Pagodas as avatars of the Qiankun Creation Pagoda from the very beginning. Therefore, although the nine Immortal Golden Pagodas were already immortal artifacts, their deities were completely integrated with the Qiankun Creation Pagoda.

Therefore, under Liang Yu's intertwining of source techniques and array patterns, although these ten pagodas had different auras, they began to resonate faintly, as if they had truly become one, just like in the original Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, where the four swords and the array diagram were one.

Only after reaching this point could Liang Yu find no fault with the immortal artifact and make improvements. Liang Yu's pagoda truly became the prototype of the supreme immortal artifact he had envisioned.

At this point, Liang Yu's initial work was complete. The next step, in order to fully refine these immortal artifacts, was simply to allow them to undergo a period of nurturing and adjustment.

Time flies, and it took Liang Yu three thousand years to complete the process of refining the weapon.

During this period, Liang Yu personally took charge, focusing intently on controlling the entire process and making real-time adjustments, ultimately achieving the best he could.

From the Boundless Immortal Mountain to all the immortal artifacts he possessed, everything became more perfect in the process, moving closer to the level of supreme immortal artifacts.

When they truly reach the pinnacle of immortal artifacts, where there is no further advancement, that will be the day they begin preparing for human transformation. However, reaching this stage will still require a long journey. At least until Liang Yu becomes a mortal immortal, it cannot be fully realized.

Of course, these four immortal artifacts were not Liang Yu's life-or-death natal magic treasures, so their ultimate achievements could not compare to the Qiankun Creation Tower. However, they could still be significantly stronger than they are now.

According to Liang Yu's speculation, if a Celestial King artifact were to take human form, it probably couldn't simply transform into a mortal without any Celestial Laws to rely on, starting from scratch. It would either come with its own Celestial Laws and sweep through directly, or it would be like a Holy Spirit, possessing superior cultivation from the start.

After all, Celestial Kings are capable of creating worlds in the void, manipulating endless starry skies, and forging vibrant new worlds—a level far beyond what the human realm can achieve. While their artifacts may not be as terrifying as the celestial beings themselves, they are still extraordinary. Therefore, for a Celestial Artifact to take human form, it's best to be close to becoming a Celestial King's artifact but without yet possessing the aura of a Celestial King. In this state, it not only possesses the deepest foundation but also avoids complete invincibility in the human realm, allowing it to build a solid foundation from scratch.

Liang Yu's goal is to elevate these four immortal artifacts to this level and then allow them to take human form. In this situation, even Wang Bo, who is a Chaos Body, might not be able to match their talent. In addition, the transformation of immortal artifacts, like a Chaos Body, can ignore the suppression of the Heavenly Heart Mark in the path to enlightenment. This makes them an excellent seed and whetstone.

Of course, this refers to the original Wang Bo. The current Wang Bo has become a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, and when he is reborn in the future, Yuanshi Tianzun will surely enhance his foundation and further develop the mysteries of the Chaos Body, so he will be even stronger when he is reborn.

Having accomplished all of this in stages, Liang Yu began to monitor external developments through his Source Techniques. Of course, he mainly focused on those fellow cultivators who had embarked on the path of immortality in the mortal world, as well as those two Earth Immortals.

The Underworld and the Immortal Mausoleum are still under development, and there's nothing particularly noteworthy at the moment. Although the Underworld Emperor and the Celestial Venerable of Longevity have achieved immortality, they've also hit a bottleneck due to the limitations of the human universe. They can only continuously accumulate and improve their cultivation, refining the details of their own Earthly Immortal worlds, without being able to directly achieve significant progress themselves.

Perhaps after Liang Yu becomes a Celestial King and gives back to the human universe, these two Earthly Immortals will experience a major upgrade.

Besides these, the Corpse King, Source God, Source Ghost, and Source Demon in the Underworld have all reached the point where they can be born. However, it is clearly not the right time for them to be born, so these seeds of the Underworld are still in the process of gestation.

Liang Yu turned his gaze to the Primordial Ancient Mine. The Primordial Mine remained the same, growing steadily in its slumber, and the Nirvana of the Undying Emperor was not yet complete. Although this process was now firmly on track, it would likely take tens of thousands of years to truly be finished.

The time it took for Nirvana left Liang Yu speechless. With his help and influence, the Immortal Emperor, who was determined to undergo Nirvana on his own using different methods, had already transformed much faster, but the period of weakness during Nirvana was still increasing.

If living to the fifth life requires tens of thousands of years of Nirvana, then the time required for subsequent lives will probably be even longer.

While it won't take two or three million years like in the original timeline, it will likely take much longer than Liang Yu himself. This can be considered the price of using bloodline power to reduce the difficulty of the transformation.

Then Liang Yu turned his gaze to Jade Flower Divine Island. At this time, Lingbao Heavenly Venerable was still in the process of enlightenment, forgetting himself and the world, making the final improvements for the method of transformation in the next life.

Meanwhile, Li Huang is using the Heavenly Evolution Array set up by Lingbao Tianzun to continuously advance his progress in proving the Dao through strength and the Jade Flower Immortal Scripture. Perhaps he has a chance to live a second life in the mortal world before ascending to immortality.

Although Liang Yu was blocked by Lingbao Tianzun's methods and could not see inside, he could still tell from the aura.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual here, Liang Yu then turned his gaze to Kunlun Sacred Realm and Daluo Immortal Mountain.
