Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 438: The Eternal Dream
Time flies, years pass, and three thousand years have gone by in the blink of an eye.

The few who are still striving on the path to immortality in the mortal world have all reached the crucial late stage. Apart from Liang Yu and Lingbao Tianzun, who still often explore the mysteries of the Dao of the Field together, the others have been cultivating diligently on their own and have not seen each other for a long time.

However, they originally only gathered together to discuss the Dao and summarize what they had learned in the past when a certain life ended or began, so it was normal.

Among Liang Yu, Daode Tianzun, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Lingbao Tianzun, Daode Tianzun is the most senior and the first to live to the seventh life, but Liang Yu and Yuanshi Tianzun are the closest to the immortals of the mortal world.

Since neither of them used the elixir of immortality or the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, they were actually only a hair's breadth away from becoming immortals in the mortal world.

Of course, the speed of progress is not absolutely related to future achievements. Even among immortals in the mortal world, where the theoretical lower limit is much lower, there is an anomaly like the Great Emperor Wushi, who is no weaker than someone who reversed life to become an immortal.

Therefore, as long as an individual has high enough talent and deep enough experience, speed at one time can only be considered one influencing factor, not the whole picture.

However, Liang Yu and Yuanshi Tianzun were indeed ahead. They had not only basically figured out the secrets of the Mortal Immortals, but had even begun to accumulate experience in order to reach the pinnacle of immortality.

However, during this process, they would still occasionally keep an eye on the movements of the others. After all, they were fellow cultivators bound by the same principles, and would be fighting side by side in the future. If anyone encountered a problem, the others would rush to their aid immediately.

Just then, a loud explosion suddenly came from Mount Daluo, and the mark of the Celestial Venerable of Morality suddenly trembled, almost shattering.

If Mount Daluo hadn't already formed its own realm, and if the Celestial Venerable of Morality hadn't used four immortal artifacts as the array cores to set up various grand arrays, this aura would have almost overturned all the myriad paths in the human universe, affecting the entire human universe.

This commotion startled Liang Yu, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Lingbao Tianzun, who were in seclusion.

Liang Yu frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Morality almost died. Could it be that there was a problem with his transformation?"

After a thorough examination, Liang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Dao Imprint of the Moral Celestial Venerable was trembling due to instability, it was not yet on the verge of dissipating.

In other words, the Moral God may have encountered some problems, but his life is not in danger.

Immediately, filled with questions, he entered a chaotic cave and arrived before the Great Luo Immortal Mountain.

At the same time, Lingbao Tianzun and Yuanshi Tianzun also ended their seclusion and headed towards Daluo Immortal Mountain. However, due to Liang Yu's connection with the human universe, he arrived here faster than the other two.

The Taiji Diagram anxiously opened the barrier between worlds to welcome Liang Yu, and said to Liang Yu, "Great Heavenly Venerable, my master is currently unconscious and unresponsive to the outside world. Has something happened to him?"

Liang Yu said, "Don't worry, although Fellow Daoist Morality's Great Dao is unstable, there is no sign that he is about to transform into the Dao. I have a general idea, and I will be able to confirm it completely after I see your master."

Upon hearing this, Taiji Diagram immediately felt relieved. The meaning of Wuji Tianzun was clearly that Daode Tianzun was not in mortal danger, and Taiji Diagram still had great confidence in Liang Yu.

So he led Liang Yu into Mount Daluo and arrived at the Eight Views Palace in Xuandu Cave.

At this time, the Celestial Venerable of Morality had fully recovered his youth and no longer showed any signs of old age. His vigorous blood and strong, healthy body fully demonstrated that the Celestial Venerable of Morality had lived through his eighth life, becoming the first among them to live through his eighth life.

However, just as the Taiji diagram said, the Celestial Venerable of Morality had indeed fallen into a state of silence, completely unaware of the outside world. Upon seeing the Celestial Venerable of Morality's state, Liang Yu immediately confirmed it. He turned to the Taiji diagram and said, "Don't worry, your master has successfully lived through his eighth incarnation, but his condition is special."

Just as Taiji Diagram was about to inquire about the specific details, Lingbao Tianzun and Yuanshi Tianzun arrived.

So Liang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Lingbao and Fellow Daoist Yuanshi have also arrived. Since we have distinguished guests, please go and invite them in."

Suppressing his curiosity, Taiji Diagram went to greet Lingbao Tianzun and Yuanshi Tianzun first.

Although Lingbao Tianzun and Yuanshi Tianzun have not yet seen the true form of Daode Tianzun, they have already made guesses based on his aura alone.

Seeing that the two Celestial Venerables also felt that the Celestial Venerable of Morality was alright, Taiji Diagram finally felt relieved.

Upon seeing the state of the Moral Celestial Venerable, Lingbao Celestial Venerable and Yuanshi Celestial Venerable couldn't help but show an expression of "as expected," as if they had already guessed the Moral Celestial Venerable's state and were now just confirming it.

Of the three people present, only the Taiji diagram was unaware of the details. So he turned and asked, "Three Heavenly Venerables, what exactly is wrong with my master?"

Liang Yu smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Morality is currently practicing a special cultivation method called the Great Dream of Eternity. This is a supreme cultivation method, but no one has ever penetrated it as deeply as Fellow Daoist Morality in the past."

“Practicing this method will allow one to dream for eternity in deep sleep, experiencing countless lifetimes within the dream, refining one’s heart and Tao in the long river of time, and ultimately transcending the mortal world.”

Lingbao Tianzun continued, "Practicing this method is extremely risky. It will cause you to live in a dream for the rest of your life, and no external force can wake you up."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable sighed, "If Fellow Daoist Morality can transform the illusory into the real and return to reality, then his cultivation will greatly advance, and perhaps becoming an immortal is just around the corner."

The Great Dream of Eternity was something that several of them had actually studied, but they had not embarked on such a path.

Ye Fan in later lives lived through the Great Dream of Eternity for seven lifetimes, finally returning to a mortal body in his eighth life. Perhaps it was because he delved into the mortal world, comprehended immortality, and perceived the extraordinary within the ordinary that he was able to truly transform into a mortal body and reach a higher level.

The Ruthless Great Emperor separated his Dao Fruit and struggled in the mortal world. Although it was not a true Great Dream of Eternity, it was still connected to it and had similar mysteries.

Perhaps she also comprehended the Great Dream of Eternity and absorbed its mysteries, thus forging this path. Given her talent, achieving this is not entirely unbelievable.

In fact, Ye Fan said that he was walking the Great Dream of Eternity, but later he also made his own changes, returning from the illusory to the real, from the ancient to the modern, and completely sublimating its profound meaning, so as to experience real life and walk through eternity.

Although the Celestial Venerable of Morality is still in the basic stage of the Great Dream of Eternity, he should develop his own unique mysteries in the future, thereby achieving sublimation, and will not remain in the dream forever.

After learning the details, the Taiji Diagram and the other three immortal artifacts that were not present due to maintaining the grand formation were relieved.
