Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 389 Discussion
Yuanshi Tianzun naturally understood what Liang Yu was worried about. He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Wuji, are you afraid that this technique will cause trouble? Don't worry, apart from Fellow Daoist Wuji, Fellow Daoist Daode, and Fellow Daoist Lingbao, I can't trust anyone else. This technique will at most only circulate among a few of us."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable said that he only trusted Liang Yu, the Moral Celestial Venerable, and the Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable. This was naturally because they were all among the Nine Celestial Venerables and were representative figures of the mythological era. Therefore, they had cultivated together in the human world for many years and had a deep understanding of each other's character, making them trustworthy in terms of their character.

Furthermore, these three possessed exceptional talent, forcing even the Primordial Celestial Venerable to acknowledge their strength. Therefore, these three were the true Daoist companions whom the Primordial Celestial Venerable recognized as worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun was not worried at all about the negative consequences of passing on this potentially disastrous secret technique to them.

But he wouldn't have that kind of trust in anyone else, not even his own disciples. After all, while they were good, they were not good enough for Yuanshi Tianzun to treat as equals.

Although the Immortal Emperor was exceptionally talented and a disciple of Liang Yu, theoretically placing him in the same camp, the Primordial Celestial Lord did not give him such recognition. As for his descendants, they were even less likely to accept him.

Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun actually intended from the very beginning to restrict this technique to the four of them and not to spread it to outsiders.

Hearing this, Liang Yu felt relieved and said, "It's good that Fellow Daoist Yuanshi has a plan. However, I am flattered by your trust in us."

Yuanshi Tianzun laughed and said, "If you feel bad about it, then you can just research some new tricks and pass them on to me, right?"

Just as Liang Yu was about to speak, he sensed the aura of the Moral Celestial Venerable in the Xuandu Cave, so he changed his words and said, "Fellow Daoist Moral has succeeded. I think we should wait for him before continuing."

The things Liang Yu and Yuanshi Tianzun discussed before were all areas where their paths overlapped, so it didn't matter that Daode Tianzun wasn't there; Yuanshi Tianzun had also discussed the World Cauldron Law with Daode Tianzun long ago, so there was no need to wait for him.

However, in other areas, it was easier for the three of them to achieve results through mutual communication.

Yuanshi Tianzun had been multitasking, focusing on the transformation of Daode Tianzun to accumulate experience for himself. Therefore, he had naturally noticed the changes in Daode Tianzun long ago, so he did not speak again, but simply nodded slightly.

As the Celestial Venerable of Morality truly came to life in this lifetime, Mount Daluo trembled and began to evolve.

Although the Celestial Venerable of Morality is not an Earth Immortal, does not possess the Origin Technique, and is not as skilled in array patterns as the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure, his grasp of the laws of heaven and earth reached an extreme level after using the Method of Merging with the Dao. Therefore, his influence on the Great Luo Immortal Mountain far exceeded that of the past.

However, soon, the array patterns in the Great Luo Immortal Mountain flickered, and the Taiji Diagram, the Vajra Bracelet, and the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda appeared one after another, merging into the array as the array eye, while the Eight Trigrams Furnace soared into the sky, becoming the core of the array.

A faint phantom of a Bagua furnace appeared, enveloping the entire Daluo Immortal Mountain. Like a refining process, it began to cleanse the mountain of impurities, making it more refined and mysterious.

This method was clearly derived from the World Cauldron Method of the Primordial Celestial Venerable and improved upon.

Yuanshi Tianzun, the creator, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as he witnessed the scene before him: "As expected of a Daoist friend with the title of Daoist Venerable, you have transformed my World Cauldron Technique into a secret art suitable for yourself in such a short time. It is truly amazing."

Liang Yu nodded in agreement.

During the continuous evolution of Mount Da Luo, the Celestial Venerable of Morality appeared from the Xuandu Cave and revealed his form.

He remained the same as always, an old Taoist priest with a youthful face and white hair, his body radiant and vibrant. Though his vital energy wasn't outwardly apparent, Liang Yu and Yuanshi Tianzun could clearly see the earth-shattering life force hidden beneath his seemingly calm exterior. Although the Moral Celestial Venerable still primarily relied on the Five Great Secret Realms system, with the Chaotic Ancient Law merely nourishing his rebirth, he now exuded a slightly unusual aura. His physical body, primordial spirit, and even the laws of nature had all undergone complete transformation.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality had now completed his transformation, lived out his seventh life, taken another step on the path to immortality, and was very close to truly becoming a mortal immortal.

He is now the first among Liang Yu and others to live out his seventh incarnation, thus the Celestial Venerable of Morality has finally taken the lead. However, Liang Yu and the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure are already in their twilight years and will soon live out their seventh incarnation as well, so their lead will only last for a few thousand years.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality smiled and said, "I've kept you two fellow Daoists waiting. What were you discussing? May I join in?"

Liang Yu said, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist. You are the host, so why are you asking us?"

Yuanshi Tianzun also said, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist."

The Celestial Venerable of Morality arrived opposite Liang Yu and the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning, and sat down on the ground. With a wave of his hand, he placed a jade platform between the three of them, on which was a jade pot and three jade cups.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality brewed tea with Bodhi seeds, Bodhi leaves, and divine spring water, and drew upon the Six Ding Divine Fire from the Eight Trigrams Furnace to boil it. The three then each enjoyed their tea.

After savoring the Bodhi tea, the three began a discussion.

Liang Yu displayed the supreme immortal artifact he had deduced. The extraordinary aura of the ten pagodas, which were clearly distinct yet subtly integrated into one, shocked the two men.

Moreover, he then incorporated the World Cauldron technique he obtained from the Primordial Celestial Venerable and improved upon it, taking it to an even higher level.

As an expert in weapon crafting, the Celestial Venerable of Morality naturally had his own understanding of how to evolve celestial artifacts. Furthermore, the Primordial Celestial Venerable's Primordial Banner was forged from nine kinds of celestial metals, thus he also possessed considerable knowledge of the mysteries of the nine great celestial metals.

The three then discussed the art of weapon crafting, further exploring its techniques and gaining valuable insights from each.

Next came their respective methods of transformation and their own Dao achievements. This part mainly involved checking and filling in any gaps in each other's knowledge to make them more complete. Their individual paths had already been determined, so there weren't any major changes; it was merely a routine matter during their Dao discussion.

After that, Liang Yu presented his improved Nine Secrets one by one, and returned to the discussion about the Nine Secrets with the Celestial Venerable of Morality and the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure.

Over the years, the Celestial Venerable of Morality has also been deeply involved in this field, and has given his own upgraded version of the Nine Secrets.

In recent years, Yuanshi Tianzun has been busy cultivating different Dao fruits and source techniques, so his Nine Secrets have not been fully upgraded. He is still missing the Secret of Numbers and the Secret of Movement.

Even so, they benefited greatly from verifying each other's work, making their respective Nine Secrets even more profound.

After all, these are not only the hallmarks of their nine Heavenly Venerables, but also nine directions that can be continuously upgraded and evolved, serving as a supplement and aid to their own Dao and Dharma.
