Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 509 Light and Darkness
When Emperor Abandoned ascended to heaven, he did not attempt to take the peaches of immortality with him.

This elixir of immortality was not obtained by him personally; it was left to him by a mysterious person who was very likely the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji. Naturally, the Abandoned Emperor would not consider it his own.

After sensing the departure of the Abandoned Emperor, Liang Yu had a thought, and the divine thought attached to the Immortal Peach was revived. It not only broke through the void and sent the ancient peach tree to the Boundless Immortal Mountain, but also erased all traces of its existence and returned it to nothingness.

Of course, the ancient star was completely revived, and Liang Yu did not erase all of this.

For Liang Yu, who is already past his prime and can be considered a mortal immortal, his biggest goal for the time being is to use the power system of the field, which is completely different from the secret realm method he mainly cultivates, to break through to the pinnacle of immortality.

Of course, there is also the research of the five secret realms, and the development of the sixth secret realm from them.

He already had a direction for this, but his primary goal was still to study how to achieve the pinnacle of immortality, so he only scratched the surface.

The pinnacle of immortality is extremely difficult. If he fails, he will have no choice but to first attempt to break through to the Immortal King realm by opening up the sixth secret realm. Therefore, he has not overlooked this alternative plan.

However, the laws of this realm are profound and complex, and Lingbao Tianzun is caught in a transformation and cannot awaken, so Liang Yu's progress has become increasingly slow.

Therefore, in his spare time, Liang Yu could only pay a little attention to the cultivation of the younger generation of enlightened beings in order to alleviate his own monotonous cultivation life.

After all, even the Primordial Celestial Venerable was undergoing a transformation, and the Great Dream of the Moral Celestial Venerable seemed endless. Even his eighty-one avatars began to awaken intermittently, wandering the human universe, and then slumber, existing in a state of half-life, half-death. His true form, however, had never awakened.

Therefore, Liang Yu couldn't find anyone to discuss the Dao with. Even though these three were far behind him, they were still very close to becoming immortals in the mortal world, so they could still inspire each other.

But even if the Immortal Emperor were to complete his Nirvana now, he would still be far inferior to Liang Yu.

Liang Yu stood up and stepped into the starry sky.

Having reached a bottleneck in my arduous cultivation, it's time to step back into the human world and adjust my mood and mindset.

So Liang Yu disappeared into the crowd, just like an ordinary person, without attracting anyone's attention.

Upon returning to the mortal world for the first time after becoming a celestial being, Liang Yu discovered that the principles of nature were contained within the three elements of heaven, earth, and humanity.

He attempted to analyze the entire world from the perspective of the field theory, and gradually touched upon more detailed and microscopic levels.

The saying goes, "A flower contains a world, a leaf contains a Bodhi tree." Everything in this world contains primordial patterns. Previously, when he traveled through the human universe, he mainly focused on special terrains, but he didn't pay attention to these most ordinary and primitive things.

If he could analyze and derive everything in the world using the field method, then perhaps he could gradually fill in the introductory part of the field method, making it a truly complete special system that allows a large number of cultivators to start from scratch, instead of the current system where only a very few people with extremely high talent and realm can master it.

Moreover, Lingbao Tianzun's transformation this time involved reconstructing his physical body, primordial spirit, and even the five great secret realms using the Dao of the Field.

From this perspective of the human body's energy field, Liang Yu could also try to analyze the myriad beings in the human universe using the field method, thereby pushing this principle to its extreme.

At that time, perhaps he can also use this to analyze his immortal, limitless Dao body and explore ways to achieve further transformation.

After setting his next goal, Liang Yu briefly forgot everything, including the cultivation of the secret realm technique, and focused all his energy on researching the field. He blended into the crowd and disappeared without a trace.

Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, ten thousand years have passed, and the Great Dao Imprint of the Abandoned Emperor has also dissipated.

During this period, the Alliance of All Races eventually became a mere shell of its former self, and the universe once again descended into chaos.

Although the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth did not become more active at this time, it was still slightly better than before, so some cultivators with remarkable talent were born in this era. However, those with true potential for enlightenment were still rare.

After all, the universe in its low period doesn't have much spare capacity to nurture too many geniuses.

As for those self-proclaimed prodigies, even fewer of them have emerged.

The difficulty for the Bright Emperor and the Abandoned Emperor to attain enlightenment is obviously much higher than that of those great eras with better conditions for the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and they have no desire to challenge such a difficulty.

Even though the difficulty has been reduced, it's still uncertain whether they can achieve enlightenment. If they manage to become the best of their generation, only to be stuck at a bottleneck and fail to achieve enlightenment, then it would be a huge loss.

However, a new young ancient emperor has been born in the human universe.

He lost his family and loved ones in the chaos of war among the myriad races, and could only helplessly watch as everything and everyone he knew disappeared in the brutal slaughter, powerless to change anything.

As a young man who had only recently embarked on the path of cultivation, his experiences, though tragic, were nothing out of the ordinary in this chaotic world.

As a survivor, he began his spiritual practice fueled by hatred.

He first obtained a portion of the Light Emperor's inheritance, from which he comprehended the Law of Light. Then, through cultivating other supernatural powers, he mastered the Law of Darkness.

He simultaneously wielded both light and darkness, two extremely opposing forces, giving rise to a variety of entirely new changes.

In order to gain better experience and acquire the power to take revenge as soon as possible, he embarked on the ancient starry road and began his training.

During his trials on the ancient starry road, he unexpectedly obtained a fragment of the Yin-Yang Dao Scripture created by the Wuji Heavenly Venerable of the mythical era. With the help of the profound mysteries of Yin and Yang, he further sublimated his own light and dark powers, giving rise to the Yin-Yang duality, and taking it a step further.

This progress allowed him to touch upon the forbidden realm when he reached the Great Sage Realm.

After all, the Two Elements Dao Scripture was created in the later period of the third incarnation of the Wuji Heavenly Venerable, and it is suspected that he lived out his fourth incarnation through it. Its profoundness is unimaginable.

The Dao fruit that unifies all laws with the principles of Yin and Yang naturally includes the changes of the two forces of light and darkness, thus allowing him, who already had a profound understanding of this Dao, to advance even further.

Fortunately, he only obtained a fragmentary version, which allowed him to use it as a supplement to his own Daoist practices. Had he obtained the complete version, he would likely have been unable to escape the scope of the Yin-Yang Daoist Scripture and find it difficult to forge his own path to enlightenment.

This young man made continuous progress and ultimately won the competition for the ultimate ancient road. He was the Light and Dark Supreme of the original timeline.
