Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 469 Fusion of Dao Fruits
Just in case, Yuanshi Tianzun decided to temporarily relocate his old friends and two disciples, whom he had sealed in the Kunlun Sacred Realm, to other places.

Without much hesitation, Yuanshi Tianzun chose his home planet, the ancient primordial star, as the location. He specifically selected a treasure cave and left them all there.

Of course, this is only a temporary measure. Once Yuanshi Tianzun successfully merges the several Great Dao Fruits and thus lives out his eighth life, he will bring these people back to the Kunlun Sacred Realm.

However, just in case, Yuanshi Tianzun also left a contingency plan here to ensure their safety even without him.

The immortal elixir, the Tongtian Jianmu tree, was used by Yuanshi Tianzun as the core of the array, supporting the protective array patterns and allowing them to be perfectly concealed.

Therefore, in the current Kunlun Sacred Realm, there is only Yuanshi Tianzun himself and his other three Dao Fruits.

Of course, Yuanshi Tianzun did not think it was no big deal if Kunlun Sacred Realm was destroyed. He used the ever-evolving Kunlun Sacred Realm as a medium, a key point in the array, to strengthen the array power that sealed him.

Clearly, Liang Yu's field technique would be even more effective if it had a special location as a platform, which is also for safety reasons.

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "I don't know how many tens of thousands of years it will take for my transformation to succeed, or it may even fail. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Wuji to put in more effort."

Liang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, you are too kind. I am now free from the effects of age and have become a mortal immortal. I have plenty of time in the future. Rest assured during your transformation, I will be there for you in case of any unforeseen circumstances."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Then I thank Fellow Daoist Wuji. When I complete my transformation, I will invite Fellow Daoist Wuji to enjoy tea, wine, and discuss the Dao as a way of repaying you."

Liang Yu said, "Then I will definitely look forward to it."

The two smiled at each other, and then Yuanshi Tianzun began to focus his attention completely on himself.

A fluctuation of energy rippled within the body of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, and then countless laws, Dao traces, origins, and so on converged, once again condensing into a Dao Fruit of the Nine Secrets in One, which was then separated by the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Yuanshi Tianzun had already separated the Dao Fruit three times, so this fourth time was naturally a breeze.

This Dao Fruit is the result of the seventh incarnation of Yuanshi Tianzun, and it comes from the Nine Secrets, a method that Yuanshi Tianzun has studied carefully for a long time. Therefore, although Yuanshi Tianzun has not formally cultivated the unity of the Nine Secrets for a long time, it is enough for this Dao Fruit to give rise to extraordinary mysteries.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable summoned the four Great Dao Fruits. Apart from the Nine Secrets Combined Dao Fruit that had just been separated, the other three Dao Fruits relied on other things to exist and grow continuously. Therefore, the Primordial Celestial Venerable still needed to separate them from the things that supported them.

The first Dao Fruit of Yuanshi Tianzun existed based on his natal magic weapon, the Yuanshi Banner, and it existed for the longest time. Now that he wants to reclaim this Dao Fruit, it means that his natal magic weapon is about to be destroyed.

Although he felt some regret and reluctance, Yuanshi Tianzun still held the Yuanshi Banner in his hand, separated his first Dao Fruit from the Yuanshi Banner, and transformed it into a human-shaped Dao Fruit.

During this process, the essence of this celestial artifact, which used the branches of the Jianmu tree as its pole and the silk threads woven from nine-colored immortal gold as its banner, was completely lost, its celestial light and divine charm were basically dissipated, and even the branches of the Jianmu tree were completely withered.

It can be said that the Primordial Banner is completely useless and can no longer play any role. Even if it is reforged, it will no longer be effective.

Then, Yuanshi Tianzun summoned the Cauldron of All Things, which contained his second Dao Fruit.

When Yuanshi Tianzun separated the Dao Fruit from the immortal artifact for the second time, he was much more skilled and directly extracted a new humanoid Dao Fruit from the Myriad Origin Cauldron.

However, contrary to the expectations of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, although the Origin Cauldron of All Things had also lost all its essence, it did not completely turn into a mortal object like the Primordial Banner, rendering it useless. Instead, it retained a considerable amount of divinity. In other words, the green copper had probably only returned to a state slightly worse than before it was refined by the Primordial Celestial Venerable. This green copper was of extraordinary material, and even after experiencing such an event, it still retained its properties.

Although its divine aura had diminished somewhat compared to before, the Primordial Celestial Venerable was certain that this almost empty cauldron could still be forged into a weapon once again, and even still retained extraordinary properties that surpassed ordinary immortal metals.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable buried the Primordial Banner, which was no longer functional, but deeply buried the Myriad Origin Cauldron in the core of the Kunlun Sacred Realm to nurture it. Perhaps in the future, this object can once again transform into a celestial artifact.

However, that was after Yuanshi Tianzun had completed his transformation.

As for his third Dao Fruit, the Chaos Dao Fruit, it grew continuously by combining with the Kunlun Sacred Realm.

However, separating this Dao Fruit from the Kunlun Sacred Realm will not cause any harm to the Kunlun Sacred Realm.

The reason for this is that when Yuanshi Tianzun separated this Dao Fruit, he was already very strong and did not need to sacrifice the Kunlun Sacred Realm to nourish his own Dao Fruit. Therefore, the connection between the two is relatively not so close.

Secondly, the Kunlun Sacred Realm has reached a new level under his transformation. Even if a large amount of its origin is extracted, it will only result in a certain degree of degeneration. Moreover, even after the degeneration, it will probably be much stronger than the Kunlun Sacred Realm before he used it as his Daoist temple.

Therefore, the Primordial Celestial Venerable easily separated this third Dao Fruit as well.

As for the last Dao Fruit, it is the Dao Fruit of the Nine Secrets Combined, which he just separated. It has no support and therefore does not need to be separated.

Yuanshi Tianzun took a deep breath and first absorbed the Chaos Dao Fruit into his body, transforming it into a Chaos Cauldron.

He then incorporated the Nine Secrets into the process, using Liang Yu's past experience of transformation to facilitate the initial integration of these two great Dao fruits.

After the situation stabilized, Yuanshi Tianzun also incorporated the other two Great Dao Fruits into his own body.

Instantly, the four powerful forces began to collide, emanating terrifying auras capable of destroying the world.

Under the methods of Yuanshi Tianzun, this Chaos Dao Fruit, which encompasses and evolves everything, became the core. Therefore, it can maximize the inclusion and integration of other forces, making it the most suitable foundation for the core.

Even so, Yuanshi Tianzun still broke out in a cold sweat. After all, he had almost been blown to pieces several times just now.

However, with his continuous fine-tuning, the fusion of the Dao Fruit gradually stabilized. Although progress was slow, true success would likely require a very long time.

Of course, this was also a result of Yuanshi Tianzun seeking stability and slowing down the integration process.

Then, Yuanshi Tianzun closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, losing his life force.

Meanwhile, the countless laws derived from the four Dao Fruits continued to collide and evolve, and slowly began to merge.

During this process, a faint vitality was born and emanated from these Dao fruits.
