Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 70 Kunlun Immortal Body
Liang Yu chuckled and said, "It sounds like you're so scared of me that you only dare to think of me in a positive light, not in a negative light."

Zhulong sighed, "Perhaps I was truly frightened by you when we fought back then. After all, my Kunlun clan has existed for millions of years, and this is the first time I've been forced to such a state."

"Therefore, to deal with you, I must take even the smallest possibility seriously."

The Ghost Lord said with some disdain, "I think Zhulong is just overthinking things."

It's clear that a large majority of these supreme beings agree with the Ghost Lord's view.

In fact, while they were secretly plotting, most of the Supreme Beings had already been deceived by Liang Yu's performance. However, Zhulong overruled the objections and rejected this idea.

Since the Kunlun Immortal Array and the Immortal Bell were both controlled by Zhulong, these supreme beings could only obey and make more preparations to deal with Liang Yu under his arrangement.

Zhulong continued, "The second possibility regarding your lifespan is that you didn't use the elixir of immortality at all, but instead lived a second life through reversal. In that case, your combat power couldn't have remained unchanged; you must have used some method to conceal your strength. As for the injuries you sustained on your path to immortality, you recovered using the elixir of immortality or the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill."

"The third scenario is that you not only live a second life in reverse, but you are also unharmed, or you were injured and did not use the elixir of immortality or the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill. In that case, you may have two lives."

"Our entire plan this time is based on the assumption that you have reversed your fate and possess two lives: the Elixir of Immortality and the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill."

Liang Yu was also somewhat amazed. He had meticulously planned everything, yet the cautious Zhulong, hampered by his psychological trauma, had managed to evade him—it was truly unbelievable. However, he still had a backup plan.

Liang Yu sighed, "You really think highly of me."

Zhulong seemed somewhat excited that he had seen through Liang Yu's plan. He laughed and said, "Aren't you curious why we waited until now to make our move?"

Liang Yu said nonchalantly, "It can't be because you don't want to harm any living beings in the universe, can it?"

The Supreme Being of the Yellow Springs couldn't help but laugh: "Wuji, you're really funny. We already knew about your plan. Did you think we were completely unaware of the array you secretly set up in the universe? You set up a great array near Kunlun back then, and you set up arrays in the universe again when you traveled through the stars. Trying to increase your chances of winning by setting up arrays in advance is wishful thinking."

Liang Yu also laughed and said, "Who told you all this? It was the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, right? Didn't he also tell you that you must make a move as soon as possible, otherwise once I successfully reverse my life, no one will be able to stop me?"

"How could you... Did you make the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable say these things?" The Ghost Venerable and the Yellow Spring Supreme's expressions changed drastically.

Previously, when the Celestial Venerable of Longevity communicated with them, he openly and subtly mentioned that his lifespan was running out, but he could not slaughter living beings to replenish his life essence and prolong his life because the Celestial Venerable of Limitless was still alive.

After a brief probe, they learned from the Celestial Venerable of Immortality that Liang Yu had set up an array in advance. So they secretly sent people to investigate and indeed discovered an unusual place near the ancient star Kunlun, and further discovered the array patterns set up wherever Liang Yu had set up, such as on the ancient star of the primordial era.

Afterwards, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, using the excuse that he had some acquaintance with the Celestial Venerable of Limitless and could not directly take action, told them about Liang Yu's ideas on transformation and rebirth, and reminded them to take action as soon as possible, otherwise there would be no chance of victory.

But now, Liang Yu knows all of this. Could it be that the Celestial Venerable of Longevity was actually his inside man?
Seeing the changing expressions on the faces of some of the Supreme Beings, Zhulong said loudly, "Now you all know, right? We must be extra careful when dealing with Wuji."

Liang Yu said, "You really know me. You people have been secretly plotting for so long, you should have known that ten of you wouldn't be enough."

The Crimson Phoenix Supreme said, "Wuji, do you think this little thing can shake our resolve? We, the Xuanqiong Divine Mountain, are determined to have your seven pagodas."

The Ghost Lord and the Yellow Springs Supreme also adjusted their emotions and laughed together, "Then we two will take his primordial essence blood." Taotie opened its mouth and sucked in several broken stars, chewing them to dust. It spat out the residue and said, "Then the Great Dao imprint of Wuji and its flesh and bones will belong to Kunlun. I am hungry, your flesh and blood must be delicious."

Liang Yu remained unfazed: "Take a look at what you've prepared. Don't disappoint me."

Zhulong opened his palm, and with his great supernatural power of grasping the sun and moon and shrinking mountains, he held the Kunlun Immortal Mountain in his palm.

Clearly, this immortal mountain is extremely heavy; even a supreme being like Zhulong would need to be careful when holding it.

Driven by the Candle Dragon, Kunlun Immortal Mountain lit up with beams of immortal light. Countless beams of light intertwined and enveloped the entire Kunlun Immortal Mountain, obscuring its full appearance.

Zhulong laughed, "Now, I'll show you the results of our years of hard work: the Kunlun Immortal Body!"

Unlike before, Kunlun Immortal Mountain did not condense a celestial shadow. Instead, the entire mountain began to change, transforming into a nearly fully formed celestial body.

Amidst the pervasive celestial aura, an otherworldly, immortal aura emerged, and the desolate mythical battlefield began to come alive.

This immortal body uses Kunlun Immortal Mountain as its skin and bones, and Kunlun Immortal Qi and some of the divine laws and patterns contained therein as its blood and meridians. Under the interweaving of countless immortal lights and Dao traces, the five great secret realms are naturally generated.

This celestial body remained ethereal and pure, as if a true immortal had descended to earth. All races would be captivated by its transcendent form. This was a truly perfect celestial body; all aesthetic standards in the mortal world would be completely altered upon seeing it.

Even after becoming more refined, the immortal bodies condensed by the Kunlun Immortal Array still lacked a physical form. After all, the physical appearance of the immortal bodies was merely a manifestation of these supreme beings' imaginations of immortals, and none of them had ever seen a real immortal.

So this is actually just a perfect, immortal, and transcendent immortal in their imagination, illusory and beautiful, like a beautiful dream that they are unwilling to shatter.

These ten supreme beings had already merged into the immortal light the moment Kunlun Immortal Mountain emitted its light, fearing that Liang Yu would interrupt their spellcasting.

This time, through collaborative research, they refined the Kunlun Immortal Array to an even more sophisticated level. The original Kunlun Immortal Shadow could only operate near the Kunlun Immortal Mountain; once it moved away, it would become like water without roots, unable to sustain itself. Furthermore, Liang Yu had placed array patterns within these areas, rendering them unusable as battlefields.

Moreover, if we consider Liang Yu's rebirth in reverse, the original Kunlun Immortal Shadow's combat power would no longer be sufficient.

Therefore, they pooled their wisdom and communicated closely through the Heavenly Secrets Manual to jointly modify the Kunlun Immortal Array, making its connection with the Kunlun Immortal Mountain even closer. Of course, this process wouldn't have been possible without the use of some of the Origin Techniques obtained by the two supreme beings of the Underworld.

Finally, they upgraded the Kunlun Immortal Shadow into the Kunlun Immortal Body. Since they couldn't leave, they simply integrated the entire Kunlun Immortal Mountain into it.

The effect was also very significant. The integration of the Kunlun Immortal Mountain body made this immortal body even stronger in combat, and there were no distance restrictions.

However, this made the formation even more complex. The previous Kunlun Immortal Shadow formation had already been difficult for the five supreme beings, including Zhulong, to control. Now, with the workload more than doubled, it was even more difficult for them to manage.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhulong decided to involve the other five Supreme Beings. As long as the ten Supreme Beings merged into the Kunlun Immortal Body, as the "gods" of this immortal body, they would be able to perfectly control it.
