Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 412 The Seventh Incarnation of Yuanshi Tianzun

After Yuanshi Tianzun separated the Chaos Dao Fruit, his condition suddenly worsened.

After all, he could previously rely on his powerful strength and realm to support himself, but now even the origin of the Chaos Body has been stripped away to form an independent Dao Fruit. The Primordial Heavenly Venerable, who has once again become a blank slate, can no longer support himself.

Yuanshi Tianzun felt as if he was about to collapse and die, so he prepared to begin his transformation.

However, at this moment, news came from his Primordial Banner clone and the Myriad Origin Cauldron clone that Lingbao Tianzun and Liang Yu had arrived.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable immediately parted the great formation, allowing the two to enter. However, this time, the Kunlun Sacred Realm lacked any ornate decorations, containing only the simple and unadorned Jade Void Palace.

After all, although Yuanshi Tianzun liked to put on a show, there was no need for him to do so with Lingbao Tianzun and Liang Yu.

After Liang Yu and Lingbao Tianzun entered the Kunlun Sacred Realm, they immediately noticed its extraordinary nature. However, they focused on different aspects.

Lingbao Tianzun used the newly created prototype of the Dao of Field to observe the original texture of this place, so as to take his Dao of Field to a higher level.

Liang Yu, on the other hand, was focused on the Chaos Dao Fruit that Yuanshi Tianzun had separated from him. It was not surprising that Yuanshi Tianzun could cultivate the Chaos Laws to such a high level as himself, nor was it surprising that he could separate the origin of the Chaos Body along with the Dao Fruit.

However, transforming the Chaos Dao Fruit into something akin to a divine medicine, and perfectly combining it with the Kunlun Sacred Realm, allowing it to slowly grow and evolve with the power of this wondrous place, also subtly aligns with the methods of Earth Immortals. This approach is indeed extraordinary.

Upon seeing the two, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately said, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Lingbao, on transcending life and death, breaking the cycle of reincarnation, and living out your seventh life."

Although Yuanshi Tianzun did not closely observe Lingbao Tianzun's transformation, his aura was still difficult to conceal from him. Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun had a considerable understanding of Lingbao Tianzun's transformation method.

Of course, like Liang Yu, he also felt a surge of curiosity. He wondered if his master, the Underworld Lord, could master this method and accelerate his own transformation, achieving even greater results.

Lingbao Tianzun said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi is also about to live out his seventh life. Congratulations!"

Liang Yu continued, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, you should complete your own transformation before you come to greet us."

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Then I will excuse myself. Please make yourselves at home."

With that, Yuanshi Tianzun began the final preparations. He waved his hand, and nine orbs of light appeared, each radiating a mysterious immortal glow.

In the eyes of Liang Yu and Lingbao Tianzun, these things naturally had no secrets, so they immediately understood their essence.

These nine orbs of light are actually the ultimate manifestation of the Nine Mysteries.

In his years of cultivation, Yuanshi Tianzun successfully simulated Liang Yu's "unity of all laws," thereby using his own chaotic laws to give birth to nine true immortal arts, each an upgraded version of the Nine Secrets.

However, this single stage consumed a great deal of Yuanshi Tianzun's time. He did not have enough lifespan to cultivate the Nine Secrets to an extremely high level and complete his transformation by separating the origin of the Chaos Body.

Therefore, the Primordial Celestial Venerable chose a different path, dismantling these nine secrets and condensing them into nine pseudo-Dao Fruits in different forms, each evolving into the supreme mystery of one secret.

These pseudo-Dao Fruits were created by the Primordial Celestial Venerable through a combination of various methods, including Origin Techniques, Array Patterns, Laws and Divine Powers, and Refining Techniques. This allowed him to derive the mysteries of the upgraded Nine Secrets, forming a sophisticated and complex entity that lies between Dao Fruits and Secret Artifacts.

Subsequently, the Primordial Celestial Venerable used the World Cauldron technique to refine it, thus achieving a perfect fusion and forming a special form similar to a Dao Fruit.

These pseudo-Dao Fruits can be used as array patterns or secret artifacts, or they can be directly integrated into the body to increase one's Dao cultivation and obtain its mysteries. This also means that the Primordial Celestial Venerable could even use this method to transform a certain supernatural power into a Divine Power Fruit, thereby achieving an alternative form of empowerment.

The only problem is that the supernatural power he cultivated was perfectly suited to him. If it were someone else, there would be various problems, and it wouldn't be able to reach its full potential. Only he himself could perfectly absorb it and integrate it into himself, making it almost as powerful as the methods he cultivated within his body.

This was not something Yuanshi Tianzun did intentionally, but rather a clever trick he had to come up with out of necessity due to the circumstances. However, its form still amazed Liang Yu and Lingbao Tianzun.

A person with extraordinary talent like Yuanshi Tianzun can always create things that are unimaginable to ordinary people without even realizing it.

However, upon seeing these things, both Liang Yu and Lingbao Tianzun immediately thought of Yuanshi Tianzun's method of transformation.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable intends to use his superior realm to integrate the Nine Secrets Pseudo-Dao Fruits into himself within an extremely short period of time, and then manipulate them to achieve the most perfect unity of the Nine Secrets. He will then use the power of immortality that bursts forth from them to transform his origin and physical body, thereby achieving a metamorphosis.

Strictly speaking, this can also be considered a physical evolution, but what kind of physical constitution would be evolved from the combination of the nine secrets? It would probably be an ultimate evolved version of a mortal body, or you could just call it an immortal body.

Yuanshi Tianzun's move was truly a display of skill and daring, surprising both Liang Yu and Lingbao Tianzun.

However, this also means that although Yuanshi Tianzun's research on the unity of the nine secrets was once lagging behind, it has now surpassed everyone, including Liang Yu.

Even Liang Yu had not yet mastered the Nine Secrets to the point where he could transform himself, but Yuanshi Tianzun had done it first.

Of course, this is also because Liang Yu's energy was mostly focused on the Dao of the Field, while Yuanshi Tianzun concentrated almost all of his energy on the Unity of the Nine Secrets.

However, in the original timeline, the Emperor was the first to collect all nine secrets and thoroughly understand their unity. Now, although Liang Yu is the first to collect all nine secrets, he is still the first to truly understand their unity.

This can be considered a kind of world line convergence.

These nine pseudo-Dao fruits merged into the body of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable one by one, and then began to transform into countless law runes, starting to transform his body and gradually probing into his origin.

Under the precise manipulation of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, these nine forces did not collide, yet his body still began to radiate extraordinary divine charm.

After this process was basically completed, Yuanshi Tianzun remained calm and composed, instantly releasing the restrictions and allowing the power of the Nine Secrets to be completely unified.

Instantly, a terrifying wave spread out, as if it would shatter the void and ascend to immortality. The body of the Primordial Celestial Venerable immediately began to be covered with dense cracks, as if it would be pulverized into dust at any moment.

If this place hadn't been covered with layers of array patterns by the Primordial Celestial Venerable, his Kunlun Sacred Realm would probably have been shattered by this overflowing power.

In this situation, Yuanshi Tianzun remained calm and began to control and guide the great power generated by the union of the Nine Secrets, leading it to the depths of the origin and directly undergoing a transformation.

After this round of impact, the power of the Nine Secrets combined has stabilized and is now under the control of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, thus forming a special law that begins to transform the Primordial Celestial Venerable's origin.

Under his precise control and superb skill, the breath of life began to revive from the broken body, and even faintly, an aura of immortality seemed to emerge, as if he had become an immortal on the spot.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable lived for seven lifetimes.
