Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 444 The Third Generation of the Xuanwu Emperor
Although Wuji Immortal Mountain still has considerable room for evolution, that can likely only be achieved after he has made some progress in his Dao of Domain, which is not strong enough at present.

Therefore, Liang Yu still only used his own Wuji Dao Power to further promote the evolution of Wuji Immortal Mountain and completely perfect the Wuji Immortal Scripture contained therein.

After further strengthening Wuji Immortal Mountain, Liang Yu turned his attention to the few immortal herbs within it.

Elixirs of immortality such as hibiscus and laurel have not changed much; their essence has only become more profound, but they have not reached the point of qualitative change.

While the Chaos Green Lotus and the Humanoid Immortal Elixir, which have already embarked on the path of transformation, have benefited more, they are still quite far from achieving true human form. However, the Humanoid Immortal Elixir is still ahead.

After benefiting from this process, the Chaos Green Lotus, which should have grown into a Chaos Green Lotus and begun to take shape, deliberately maintained its seed state and began a new gestation process under the influence of the Limitless Dao Power.

This delayed the time when the Chaos Green Lotus took human form by countless millennia. However, after sensing the immense vitality within it, Liang Yu couldn't help but feel filled with anticipation for the future Green Emperor.

After all, if things continue like this, the Chaos Green Lotus will probably become even more powerful and have a deeper foundation than in the original timeline.

If we were to discuss which immortal herb benefited the most in this process, it would obviously be the Enlightened Ancient Tea Tree, which had achieved a symbiotic relationship with Wuji Immortal Mountain and was inseparable from it.

During the evolution of Wuji Immortal Mountain, the connection between the Wudao Ancient Tea Tree and Wuji Immortal Mountain became closer, and a greater degree of evolution occurred during this process.

It can be said that the transformation progress of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree is almost catching up with the current fastest-progressing humanoid immortality elixir.

However, the Enlightened Ancient Tea Tree is already deeply bound to the Wuji Immortal Mountain. To take human form, it needs to break free from this restriction. Therefore, even though the progress is similar, the Humanoid Immortal Medicine will be faster.

After they take human form in the future, these immortality pills will all be promising candidates for the reincarnation of immortal kings. Even if they can't compare with the Great Emperor Wushi and the Azure Emperor, it would be remarkable enough if they could surpass their achievements in their previous lives.

Finally, there was the broken piece of flint, with only its original essence remaining.

Despite Liang Yu's efforts over the years, which have made it grow stronger, it has ultimately failed to regain consciousness, let alone transform into a seed and grow again.

Perhaps only when Liang Yu's cultivation advances further and he becomes a true immortal in the mortal world will this flint tree truly be revived.

Then there are four more immortal artifacts: the Immortal Bell, the Desolate Tower, the Boundless Dao Stele, and the Bronze Immortal Palace.

Although these four immortal artifacts were not Liang Yu's natal magic weapons, they had still been improved to varying degrees through his nurturing and continuous refinement over the years.

Liang Yu's goal is to elevate them to the level of supreme immortal artifacts comparable to the immortals of the mortal world, and then transform them into human form, thereby creating four seeds with infinite potential.

But the closer Liang Yu got to this point, the more difficult this goal became. For these immortal artifacts that were not his natal magic weapons, perhaps only when he became a mortal immortal or even the pinnacle of immortality could he elevate them to the level of supreme immortal artifacts.

Of course, with the assistance of the principles of field theory, achieving this step would be much easier. But that's a matter for the future.

Therefore, Liang Yu used his own Limitless Dao Power to refine these four immortal artifacts again, allowing them to undergo a significant evolution.

After completing all this, Liang Yu once again went into seclusion to continue his in-depth research on the field of energy. Of course, Liang Yu naturally communicated and cooperated with Lingbao Tianzun to achieve greater efficiency.

As for the sixth secret realm, Liang Yu still planned to study it in detail when he truly became a mortal immortal tens of thousands of years later. Time flies, and another four thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. The lifespan of the Xuanwu Emperor in this life has also come to an end.

In his first life, he lived to be 17,000 years old. After consuming the elixir of immortality, his lifespan remained unchanged. Therefore, his two lifetimes combined totaled 34,000 years.

Existing for 34,000 years is definitely a long time in this era. After all, the previous emperors didn't stay in the mortal world for long because they were going to ascend to immortality.

Although Emperor Xuanwu was nearing the end of his lifespan, his Jade Flower Divine Blood, Jade Flower Immortal Scripture, and Jade Flower Divine Island had a deep connection, allowing him to directly draw upon their primal power to maintain his condition. Therefore, Emperor Xuanwu was not completely exhausted and was in relatively good condition.

However, in the human universe, his Great Dao imprint was no longer stable, and even the Heavenly Heart imprint began to be somewhat turbulent.

However, Emperor Xuanwu remained calm and composed. Through years of arduous cultivation, he had finally mastered the Jade Flower Immortal Scripture, thus accumulating the power to live a second life.

In other words, he can live a third life without the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, evolving his Jade Flower Divine Blood into the Jade Flower Divine Body.

Therefore, although the current Xuanwu Emperor's body is withered and his blood and qi are exhausted, this is not the end, but a new beginning.

Just as Emperor Xuanwu finished his seclusion and was about to begin his transformation using this method, Heavenly Venerable Lingbao transmitted a message to him: "Since you have already mastered the Jade Flower Immortal Scripture, come to Biyou Palace to undergo your transformation."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanwu ceased his preparations for transformation and instead rose to walk towards Biyou Palace. Naturally, the Xuanwu Elixir of Immortality followed closely behind him, arriving at Biyou Palace together.

Biyou Palace is the core of Yuhua Divine Island, the place where its origin, laws, and Dao traces converge. For Emperor Xuanwu, a cultivator possessing the blood of the Yuhua Divine Emperor, who has mastered the Yuhua Immortal Scripture and is about to transform into the Yuhua Divine Body, coming here for his transformation would indeed be twice as effective and yield the best results.

Emperor Xuanwu cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Master."

Lingbao Tianzun said, "No need for formalities. Just begin your transformation, and I will assist you with the field technique."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanwu said no more. Because he had some talent in array formations, the Celestial Venerable Lingbao had also passed on the art of domain formations to him.

Over the years, although he had studied this method, his achievements were ultimately limited. While he could directly reverse the process himself without any problems, it would be much slower.

With the help of Lingbao Tianzun, this time can be greatly shortened.

Of course, Lingbao Tianzun only set up a field array to mobilize the origin of Yuhua Divine Island, which only created a better condition for Xuanwu Emperor, and did not interfere with his actual transformation process.

Emperor Xuanwu closed his eyes and began to circulate the Jade Flower Immortal Scripture, continuously evolving his Jade Flower Divine Blood to make it stronger and stronger, ultimately transforming himself from his very origin into a complete Jade Flower Divine Body.

During this process, Emperor Xuanwu was also continuously absorbing the essence of Jade Flower Divine Island to accelerate the process, thus making his transformation more complete and faster.

Soon, the old body of the Xuanwu Emperor was rejuvenated, and his enormous blood energy soared into the sky, condensing above the Jade Flower Divine Island and lingering there, causing all the spirits within to submit.

Emperor Xuanwu successfully lived out his third life.
