Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 406 Nirvana
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, 15,000 years have passed. The situation of the three beings being buried together in one pit in the ancient star was finally broken.

Originally, in Lingbao Tianzun's plan with the Zhuxian Sword, it would probably take 20,000 to 30,000 years for the reunited true spirit to grow to the point where it met his requirements.

However, thanks to Liang Yu's adjustments and assistance, this process was completely completed in just 15,000 years.

The body of Lingbao Tianzun within the ancient coffin of the gods has fully recovered its vitality, and even its true spirit has taken complete form. Apart from a slight discrepancy, the process of this ancient corpse becoming spiritually connected with the spirit took only 55,000 years.

If no changes are made and the corpse is nurtured solely in the ancient primordial star, the universe's premier corpse-nurturing ground, even the spirit-summoning of an imperial corpse could be completed within tens of thousands of years.

Lingbao Tianzun used a series of methods to assist him, finally shortening the time to fifty or sixty thousand years, thus completing the reverse life.

Thus, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, unable to wait any longer, took the ancient coffin of the gods and left the ancient star of the primordial world, returning to Jade Flower Divine Island for its final gestation.

After all, burying three bodies in one pit was rather undignified. Moreover, the completion of this process meant that his master was about to revive, which was even more joyous news.

Although separated by countless stars, Liang Yu was certain that Lingbao Tianzun's transformation was indeed nearing its end, and it might only take a few thousand years to reach complete perfection.

He refocused his attention and returned to his research on combining source techniques with array patterns.

This period of fifteen thousand years is indeed quite peculiar for cultivators in the human universe, because the mysterious emperor who attained enlightenment still has not moved about in the human world.

However, due to the scorching heat that everyone felt when he first attained enlightenment, and the special fire law now protected by all the myriad paths of the human universe, the title of Fire Emperor still spread.

After all, you can hide your physical form, but you cannot hide your Dao aura unless you sever it yourself or become powerful enough to freely peel away the Heavenly Heart Mark without affecting yourself.

However, at this moment, the Great Dao imprint in the universe changed, and the Great Dao aura of that mysterious Fire Emperor began to tremble continuously, even showing faint signs of collapse.

Could it be that this Fire Emperor is about to pass away or ascend to immortality without even showing his face?
Filled with doubt, the cultivators of the human universe began to await the outcome.

In the Primordial Ancient Mine, the Fire Emperor was indeed nearing the end of her life. After all, she had already lived for thousands of years before sealing herself away, and now, adding another fifteen thousand years, she was indeed close to the end of her lifespan.

Fortunately, she still followed the Immortal Emperor in various studies, thus cultivating the Phoenix Treasure Technique to an extremely profound level and gaining a deep understanding of the Phoenix bloodline.

Most importantly, she used this to fully activate the last trace of true phoenix power remaining in her origin.

In other words, she has the possibility of being reborn from the ashes and transforming back into a true phoenix.

After all, her predecessor was the Dao Flame left behind by the Immortal Phoenix, containing the true power of the phoenix. Although these powers have been completely transformed by various circumstances, a trace of the original power has still remained.

But now, with her superb Phoenix Technique and the Immortal Emperor as her research subject, she has finally returned to her original form and revived the Phoenix Power of the past.

The Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality also played a significant role in this process.

Of course, the Fire Emperor is already capable of rebirth, but the Undying Emperor is still far from it. After all, he is a true phoenix, almost perfect, and to allow him to continue evolving in this state is indeed as difficult as ascending to heaven.

The Immortal Emperor asked, "Are you absolutely certain that you will achieve Nirvana this time?"

The Fire Emperor said, "How can such a thing be guaranteed to succeed? We can only say the probability of success is not small." The Undying Emperor pondered, "If I use my own essence and blood as nourishment, could I increase the success rate, strengthen the phoenix power within your origin, and thus transform you into a true phoenix?"

The Fire Emperor said, "No, this will greatly deplete your source power and shorten your lifespan. If it prevents you from finding the method to start your next Nirvana, then it will be a great loss."

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Emperor said, "As long as the lifespan I lose can be exchanged for the completion of the Nirvana Method in the next life, then it doesn't seem like a loss. Before, I was your research material, now it's your turn to be my research material."

Seeing that he seemed confident, the Fire Emperor asked, "Are you really sure?"

The Undying Emperor laughed and said, "Don't forget that your former self was a true Celestial Phoenix. The process of reshaping the Phoenix's true form from scratch from this primordial power is enough to greatly deepen my research on my own bloodline and physique."

Seeing the Immortal Emperor's attitude, the Fire Emperor was finally relieved and agreed to the condition.

Of course, the Immortal Emperor was not lying. If the Fire Emperor could truly reshape his phoenix form through rebirth, he would indeed benefit greatly.

Moreover, with the help of this research process, the difficulty of his further research on the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, since the Immortal Emperor and the Fire Emperor are now vastly different in strength, the amount of blood essence and lifespan he needs to expend is at most a few thousand years, which is just a fraction of what he needs to give up.

After finalizing the Nirvana plan, the Undying Emperor began setting up the array. Although his array skills were significantly inferior to those of Liang Yu and the others, they were more than enough to block the Fire Emperor's aura.

Soon, layers of array patterns were erected based on the Primordial Ancient Mine, and even directly attracted the primordial power of this place.

Because the Immortal Emperor once designated the Primordial Ancient Mine as a sacred site, bringing it a large amount of faith power and leading the process of using faith power to promote the evolution of this place, the Immortal Emperor's influence on the Primordial Ancient Mine is very strong.

As long as Tai Chu doesn't stop him, the Undying Emperor can practically be considered the master of the Tai Chu Ancient Mine.

After the grand formation was completed, the Undying Emperor took out the phoenix eggshell made of phoenix blood and crimson gold. Immediately, a large mass of five-colored divine blood surged out from the Undying Emperor's body and flowed into the eggshell.

The Fire Emperor's strength is far inferior to that of the Undying Emperor. Even if he completes his rebirth and transforms back into a phoenix, he still cannot compare to the first incarnation of the Undying Emperor, let alone the fifth.

Therefore, all the laws and Dao traces within these five-colored divine blood were refined and erased by the Undying Emperor, turning them into a pure and rare medicine to ensure that they would not pose any obstacle to the Fire Emperor.

However, in this way, the blood does not exude any bloody smell, but rather a refreshing fragrance that is so pleasant that it makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Furthermore, the Undying Emperor even mixed some of the divine soul pool water into it, perfectly fusing it with these essences and blood to form a kind of immortal liquid.

After all, the Fire Emperor's rebirth this time focused primarily on his physical body and bloodline, with less emphasis placed on his primordial spirit. The Undying Emperor did this in the hope that the Fire Emperor could develop in a balanced way.

Throughout this process, the immortal emperor released a blood essence that consumed about five or six thousand years of his lifespan.

The Fire Emperor stepped into the midst of it and began his rebirth.
