Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 418 Healed and Secluded
When Liang Yu met Ning Fei, he immediately saw through the methods and paths he was currently cultivating. Given Ning Fei's current level of understanding, these things held no mystery.

Therefore, in just a short moment, he naturally derived the secrets of Ning Fei's Forgetfulness Heavenly Art, and made it more perfect and powerful than Ning Fei's own version.

Although Liang Yu may not be able to truly encompass and derive all laws now, at least the vast majority of laws in the human universe are within his Dao and laws. Although this Forgetful Heavenly Skill is different from others, it is also within this category.

Next, Liang Yu further sublimated the Forgetfulness Heavenly Art using the Dao Fruit of the Unity of All Laws, directly upgrading it to a peerless immortal scripture approaching immortality. Furthermore, if Liang Yu were to spend more time and effort, he could further sublimate it.

Under the Dao Fruit of the Unity of All Laws, he can easily evolve all kinds of human laws into immortal arts, and this Heavenly Art of Forgetfulness is no exception.

It can be said that if Ning Fei were to learn this immortal scripture directly, he would only need to follow the established path for a long time to come.

However, Liang Yu did not want to pass on this scripture to Ning Fei. After all, those who learn from me live, while those who imitate me die. If Ning Fei wanted to achieve greater things, he needed to elevate his own Dao and Dharma. Liang Yu would only subtly guide him to understand this point and embark on the right path.

Therefore, there is a second layer of variation within this formation. As long as Ning Fei can thoroughly perfect his fundamental skills in all aspects, he will gradually comprehend the direction for further evolving the Forgetful Heavenly Art from this layer of formation.

Finally, Liang Yu left some insights based on his research into the Great Dream of Eternity.

Of course, Liang Yu didn't expect Ning Fei to reverse his life through this; he only hoped that Ning Fei could gain some insight from it. After all, his Forgetfulness Heavenly Skill was highly related to his state of mind, and if he could master the method of refining his mind in the mortal world, it would greatly help him advance further.

Under the tempering of the formation, Ning Fei entered into arduous training and began to move forward towards the future.

Unlike the previous ones, he was a married man who needed to take people with him to the strange world when he ascended.

Although the Phoenix Maiden's bloodline power advanced further under the influence of the Fire Emperor and the Undying Emperor's secret techniques, and her cultivation had barely reached the level of an alternative path to enlightenment, she still had no hope of attaining the Dao. The same applied to the Seven Divine Generals.

All eight of them achieved their unique path to enlightenment only because the Immortal Emperor deliberately put in a lot of effort to cultivate them.

People like Chuan Ying and Ning Fei were forced to achieve Dao through unconventional means because of the suppression from the Dao imprints of others. If the suppression were removed, they could directly attain Dao. This can be seen from the fact that they not only achieved completely unconventional Dao attainment but were also able to further improve their abilities.

For these eight individuals, achieving enlightenment through an unorthodox method, rather than a complete one, is already their limit. At least within the human universe, even without anyone suppressing their desire to attain enlightenment, the possibility is still quite low.

Therefore, if the Phoenix Maiden wants to enter the strange world with him, she either needs to bring her own people or ask the Immortal Emperor for help.

Therefore, Ning Fei naturally needs to work even harder in his cultivation so that he can advance further and possess sufficient strength.

As Ning Fei immersed himself in arduous cultivation, time flew by. Soon, Ning Fei had already attained enlightenment a thousand years ago.

During this time, although he was in the Wuji Immortal Mountain, his strength continued to increase, his aura became stronger, and he became more closely integrated with the universe.

During this time, the Heavenly Prince finally awoke from his seclusion. Throughout this period, he had been suffering from severe Daoist injuries.

If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't last a hundred years in this state before passing away and having to use elixirs of immortality or nine-turn immortal pills to heal themselves.

However, thanks to his extraordinary bloodline power, this mere fatal Dao injury had no effect on the Heavenly Emperor's son. Throughout this thousand years, the Heavenly Emperor's son remained vibrant, even continuing his cultivation, constantly evolving the Phoenix Treasure Technique to deepen his mastery of the Nirvana Power. A thousand years later, the Heavenly Emperor's son finally mastered a method to completely heal his Dao injury and even further stimulate his bloodline power.

Therefore, the Heavenly Emperor Prince used the Immortal God Seal as the core, mobilized the Purple Mountain Formation to further seal the energy and strengthen the defense, and then began his Nirvana.

Previously, the Emperor had only used the power of Nirvana for healing. This was the first time he had fully attempted Nirvana to regenerate himself.

Of course, this Nirvana is different from the Nirvana of the Immortal Emperor and the Fire Emperor. It cannot be considered an achievement like living a life in reverse. It can only be considered a small transformation.

Even so, it was enough for the Emperor's son to improve his strength and bloodline physique again, gaining a deeper foundation.

Then, the aura of the Heavenly Emperor's son began to subside, and countless divine energies intertwined, transforming together with his old body into a fleshy ball that shimmered with five-colored divine light.

During this process, the Dao injuries he had previously suffered were gradually extracted from his origin and transformed into part of his flesh, allowing him to make progress.

It is foreseeable that after this rebirth, the Crown Prince will make considerable progress.

Although the Immortal Emperor himself was constantly cultivating, he would still occasionally check on his son's situation.

When he saw that the Emperor Prince had spent a thousand years comprehending the profound power of Nirvana and using it to gain new life and heal his Dao wounds, the Immortal Emperor did not know whether he should be happy or angry.

After all, given the Immortal Emperor's talent, he really couldn't understand why such a small matter could take so long.

Shouldn't the method of Nirvana be mastered naturally during the process of cultivation? Shouldn't the power of bloodline be fully developed before achieving enlightenment through alternative means? Why would it require a thousand years of dedicated research?

However, seeing that the Emperor's son had finally made some progress, the Immortal Emperor managed to shake off his negative emotions and revealed a hint of relief.

Over the years, the Undying Emperor has come to deeply understand that bloodline and physique are not everything. Perhaps it is different in other cultivation systems and worlds, but in the human universe, although a powerful bloodline and physique can greatly improve the lower limit, if one's personal talent and Dao heart are insufficient, one still cannot succeed in attaining the Dao.

In the harsh, degenerate world of the human universe, to become a powerful and influential enlightened being, you not only need to have exceptional strengths, but you also need to have no weaknesses.

Although the Emperor Prince's rebirth this time still failed to remove the Emperor's mark that restricted him, and even his state of mind was only improved and far from perfect, he has at least begun to make up for his shortcomings.

If we continue to make progress in this way, although it will be slower and lack the kind of vigorous and diligent spirit that the Immortal Emperor would prefer to see, there is still hope for success.

Thus, the Immortal Emperor continued his cultivation.

The Emperor's son's rebirth took a total of five hundred years. Looking at his body, now perfectly intact and even more powerful, he couldn't help but feel filled with confidence for the future.

So he continued to self-proclaim himself emperor, hoping for the arrival of the next era.
