Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 466 Time Does Not Bring Any Feet

Lingbao Tianzun's transformation this time was actually achieved by using the field method to directly reshape and recombine his physical body, primordial spirit, and even the five great secret realms, thus completing his rebirth.

Although Lingbao Tianzun did not explore the path of physical evolution, nor did he study the elixir of immortality in human form, he clearly mastered the mysteries of the human body and even the five great secret realms.

Only by having a thorough understanding of oneself and exploring it to the extreme can one completely reshape oneself with power entirely different from the past. Clearly, Lingbao Tianzun has reached this stage.

In other words, if Lingbao Tianzun had turned to studying the evolution of physical constitution, he might not have failed.

Furthermore, Lingbao Tianzun's state also indicates that he is very close to condensing the field method into a new Dao fruit, thus forming a true dual Dao fruit from two systems.

Perhaps after the transformation is completed, or perhaps after he has lived his eighth life and continues his arduous cultivation, Lingbao Tianzun will be able to obtain a field Dao Fruit that is separate from the Dao Fruit of the Secret Realm system.

Although Liang Yufeng's field technique is not much different from Lingbao Tianzun's, it is clear that Liang Yufeng's field technique is still at the level of an auxiliary means and has not broken out of the category of enhanced source techniques. Lingbao Tianzun, on the other hand, has taken the lead in touching on how to construct a cultivation system for field techniques.

Although the field relies on external forces, similar to source techniques and array patterns, in the end it still needs to transform itself from the outside in using the field method.

Lingbao Tianzun has already achieved this, while Liang Yu has not. Therefore, from this perspective, Lingbao Tianzun is slightly ahead of him.

Theoretically, Lingbao Tianzun's transformation will take countless years, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. In any case, it will definitely not be successful in a short period of time. Therefore, Liang Yu's field technique should surpass his later.

Even if Lingbao Tianzun is unconscious during his transformation, his domain techniques will continue to improve as he reshapes himself to achieve rebirth. After all, the human domain is a crucial node in the systematization of the domain.

Through this process of blessing, Lingbao Tianzun's field technique will naturally continue to improve, and Liang Yu may not be able to surpass him.

However, this is just right, since the future simulation field will require the two of them to work together, and if the gap is too large, it will be difficult to continue.

Liang Yu's research on refining artifacts using the field method greatly benefited Lingbao Tianzun, who also made minor adjustments based on these findings during this transformation.

When Lingbao Tianzun underwent this transformation, he directly reconstructed himself using the field technique, which allowed Liang Yu to see the possibility of undergoing another transformation and launching an attack on the pinnacle of immortality.

The Immortal of the Mortal World has already reached a state of extreme perfection, making further progress difficult. To continue undergoing a transformation that is truly effective, it is indeed necessary to find another way.

With these insights in mind, Liang Yu prepared to continue his research.

Liang Yu looked at Lingbao Tianzun. After Lingbao Tianzun had basically completed the basic framework of reshaping his form, he became completely silent, with only the power of the field slowly operating, constantly perfecting the details, allowing him to be reborn.

This process can only be advanced over a long period of time, and even Liang Yu cannot interfere with it. Therefore, he took a step back and allowed the power of the field left by Lingbao Tianzun in advance to seal and protect this reshaped form.

The Immortal Execution Sword is hidden within the grand array of the void, presiding over the operation of the entire array.

The Zhuxian Sword was originally composed of four killing swords and an array diagram, encompassing the achievements of Lingbao Tianzun in both swordsmanship and array formation.

Later, Lingbao Tianzun made great progress in his cultivation and reforged it, enabling it to switch between a supreme immortal sword and an ever-changing sword formation.

Later, Lingbao Tianzun used the Dao of the Field to reforge the Immortal Sword, allowing it to evolve the mysteries of the Dao of the Field when it transformed into a Dao diagram. Therefore, the current Zhuxian Sword can naturally manipulate the power of the field as easily as using its own limbs.

With this power protecting him, Liang Yu didn't need to worry about Lingbao Tianzun being disturbed.

Seeing that Lingbao Tianzun had undergone a transformation, Liang Yu took his previous insights and left, returning to Wuji Immortal Mountain.

After witnessing Lingbao Tianzun transform himself using the field technique, Liang Yu's field technique advanced further, evolving into entirely new mysteries. Thus, he began to modify the field within his ten towers.

Of course, this also includes some of the results of Lingbao Tianzun's research with him on how to refine artifacts using the field method.

Liang Yu then began to cultivate himself, striving to develop the field technique to a point where he could undergo a transformation even after becoming a mortal immortal.

Time flies, and two thousand years have passed since Lingbao Tianzun's transformation.

While in seclusion in Wuji Immortal Mountain, Liang Yu suddenly felt an unprecedented change occurring within him, seemingly naturally.

He stopped his cultivation and instead began to study his own state. Compared to his former self, he now exuded an aura of perfection and immortality.

He has lived through this eighth incarnation for about 50,000 years, and the theoretical lifespan of this incarnation is likely to be 150,000 to 160,000 years. Therefore, with one-third of his lifespan gone, he has truly reached the peak of this incarnation.

Since he embarked on the path of cultivation, he has spent approximately 540,000 years.

Liang Yu roughly confirmed that he had most likely achieved the state of being unaffected by the passage of time, just like Ye Fan in his eighth life.

While still at his peak, Liang Yu had no way of verifying whether he had truly reached this stage, but that inexplicable feeling still confirmed his achievement.

Although Liang Yu is currently in the prime of his eighth incarnation, while Ye Fan reached this stage in his later years of his eighth incarnation, the time they spent cultivating was actually about the same.

Ye Fan's eighth incarnation should have died in 550,000 years, but he remained unchanged in his later years, seemingly untouched by the passage of time. In other words, he must have reached this state 550,000 years ago.

Therefore, although Liang Yu is not yet 550,000 years old, the time he took should be about the same as Ye Fan's.

Ye Fan was a Heavenly Emperor in his first life, and possibly one of the strongest Heavenly Emperors, so he had a higher starting point and only needed to reverse his life six times to reach that level.
Liang Yu's first life was only at the Quasi-Heavenly Emperor level, so his starting point was lower, and he only reached this level after experiencing seven rebirths.

However, it was precisely for this reason that Liang Yu's lifespan was relatively longer in his previous lives, which meant that he was still at the peak of this life when he reached this stage, which was an unexpected bonus.

In other words, Liang Yu could be considered to have stepped into the threshold of becoming a mortal immortal at this point.

Since the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, another Immortal of the Mortal Realm has been born in the human universe, which is of immense significance.
