Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 402 The Fifth Generation of the Immortal Emperor

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

Ten thousand years have passed since War Emperor Chuan Ying entered the Kunlun Sacred Realm. Like the others before him, Chuan Ying also planned to enter the strange world while he was still at his peak. Therefore, his trial has now completely ended.

During these ten thousand years, he was not constantly fighting without sleep. Instead, he would pause every thousand years to go to the Kunlun Sacred Realm to receive guidance from the Primordial Celestial Venerable, discuss the results of his cultivation, and gain a buffer period of one hundred years.

Through this repeated process, Chuanying honed himself in endless battles, using combat to sustain his own strength, and ultimately elevated his Dao and Dharma to a new level, gaining a deeper foundation.

Even in the eyes of the Primordial Celestial Lord, Chuan Ying has essentially reached the limit of progress. Aside from the enhancement gained from reversing his life, he has already reached the pinnacle of his current state.

Chuanying's compatibility with the version of the Kunlun Immortal Scripture in the Kunlun Sacred Realm is limited, even less so than with the Three Lives Emperor and the Netherworld Scripture. Therefore, he cannot reverse his life through this method.

As for the Immortal Essence of Immortality, Chuan Ying's path was too domineering and fierce, so he naturally couldn't accumulate much, let alone use it to transform.

Other methods of transformation for Chuan Ying were completely unfounded, requiring him to start from scratch, which was clearly insufficient given his talent and time.

Therefore, now is the time for Chuan Ying to leave the human universe and seek a breakthrough in a strange world.

Chuanying said, "Master, your disciple must be leaving now."

The Primordial Celestial Lord withdrew from the endless battlefield, then took out a celestial map engraved with all living beings and the heavens and worlds, and said: "The path you have taken is fierce and domineering, with more ambition than defense. This treasure is called the Creation Map, a secret treasure with the power to be impervious to all laws. I give it to you."

Chuan Ying respectfully accepted the diagram, and after a little refinement, the diagram transformed into a battle suit covering his body.

He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the treasure, Master."

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Chuanying, whose appearance had been completely transformed, as if a god had descended to earth, and sighed, "We, master and disciple, are separated this time, and I do not know when we will meet again. I hope that after you go to the strange world, you will cultivate diligently and make great progress. But cultivation has no end, and you must also have a balance between hard work and rest, and avoid being impatient for quick success."

Chuanying bowed deeply and said, "I will follow your teachings, Master. I will remember them and never forget them."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and said, "I have great confidence in your character. Go."

Chuan Ying bowed deeply once more, then turned and left the Kunlun Sacred Realm. Of course, he did not ascend directly, but instead returned to his homeland to deliver his final sermon, leaving his legacy in the universe.

Finally, he stroked the black, hard bow on his body with reluctance and said, "Old friend, I am about to leave this world. I entrust my people to your protection. I hope we can fight side by side again in the future."

With that, he left the black, hard bow among his people and then headed towards the Immortal Gate.

The black, hard bow emitted a series of hums, autonomously reviving itself, and repeatedly drew its bow, creating a powerful war song in the universe. It was bidding farewell to its master.

Chuanying looked back and took one last look at his hometown before smashing the sky with a stone club and entering the immortal gate. From then on, he went to another world and disappeared from the mortal realm.

Liang Yu, who was in seclusion on Wuji Immortal Mountain, naturally sensed this aura as well. This life of Chuan Ying was indeed much more fulfilling; not only was he free of inner demons, but he had also successfully attained enlightenment and even had the opportunity to become an immortal.

Of course, Liang Yu's awakening was not only due to Chuan Ying, but also because his disciple, the Immortal Emperor, was about to complete his Nirvana and live out his fifth life.

However, it's worth noting that the Immortal Emperor's rebirth this time took a full 60,000 years, longer than his fourth incarnation. And judging from this trend, the period of weakness during the Immortal Emperor's subsequent rebirths will likely be even longer.

This was only because the Immortal Emperor had his help and guidance, and shortened his weakened state after his own rebirth. In the original timeline, this weakened state would probably have been even longer.

For Liang Yu, who has now become a true master of the universe, he no longer needs to rely on source techniques to create clones. He only needs to draw upon the power of the universe's origin to directly form a void passage and traverse endless distances in the universe.

Therefore, with just a thought, a chaotic cave appeared in the void, leading directly to the Primordial Ancient Mine.

Liang Yu got up and stepped inside, arriving directly near the Primordial Ancient Mine. Looking around, he noticed that the Primordial Ancient Mine had undergone significant evolution.

Although the Undying Dynasty's status as the overlord of all races is now merely nominal, the accumulated faith power over the years has made the Primordial Ancient Mine even more mysterious and vast.

Moreover, this place perfectly matches the name of the Primordial Ancient Mine, with each underground spot nurturing various sources and other rare minerals.

Within the core of the Primordial Ancient Mine, Primordial is still in a deep slumber, beginning its final stage of gestation.

Perhaps in a few hundred thousand years, the Primordial One will be born and transform into a celestial embryo no weaker than the Chaos Body.

Of course, Liang Yu's main focus this time was the Immortal Emperor, so he only glanced at the other things and then ignored them.

At this moment, in the Primordial Ancient Mine, the fleshy ball transformed from the Undying Emperor was emanating a strong aura of corpses and death. Even emperors could not withstand it; once they came into contact with it, their bodies would rot or even be melted into part of the corpse aura.

After all, this was the transformation of the old body of the fourth incarnation of the Undying Emperor. Even without the divine essence such as the laws of the primordial spirit, its nature far surpassed that of ordinary Dao-proving beings. Not to mention, it was a true Celestial Phoenix, with exceptional vitality and physical strength, becoming even more terrifying after decay.

Of course, all of this corpse energy was sealed off by the great array set up by Liang Yu, without any leakage or impact on the Undying Emperor himself. Instead, it was extracted separately and sealed in another array pattern.

With Liang Yu's cultivation level, he could naturally see directly inside the fleshy ball. Within the pool of divine soul water, a small immortal phoenix was being nurtured, having already solidified into a tangible form and possessed life.

Inside the Immortal Phoenix, a vast and pure primordial spirit power continued to grow stronger and awakened from its slumber. An earth-shattering aura gradually emerged, as if an ancient god had been resurrected.

Finally, the fleshy ball slowly shriveled up and gradually turned into ashes. The immortal phoenix grew taller in the wind, and even under Liang Yu's great array, it still revealed its huge and perfect true form. With a flap of its wings, it could shake the heavens; its phoenix cry resounded, directly causing the star sea to tremble.

Soon, the immortal phoenix flashed with five-colored divine light and transformed into a young man who was no more than twenty years old.

Seeing that the Immortal Emperor had already lived for five lifetimes, Liang Yu removed the great formation. After all, he had only done so to prevent his aura from leaking out and causing adverse effects on the outside world.
