Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 701 Meeting
Although Liang Yu wanted to continue studying his current state and that of the Qiankun Creation Tower, after surveying the universe, he discovered that his disciple, the Immortal Emperor, was already in his sixth incarnation and in his later years.

As his master, having not seen him for hundreds of thousands of years, he should naturally go and meet the Immortal Emperor.

After all, Yuanshi Tianzun had been a mortal immortal for many years and was preparing for his final ninth incarnation to reach a higher realm in the mortal immortal realm. Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun were already at the crucial juncture of becoming mortal immortals and would soon succeed.

If he is truly close to reaching the pinnacle of immortality, then perhaps their time in the mortal universe will not be too long.

Of course, after truly reaching the pinnacle of immortality, Liang Yu had not yet decided whether to attempt to break through to become an Immortal King in the mortal realm or to become an Immortal King after leaving the mortal universe.

However, in any case, he only has a few hundred thousand years left in the human universe. Therefore, he still needs to go and give the Immortal Emperor some more guidance on his cultivation.

However, the most important reason is that the method of transformation chosen by the Undying Emperor at this time is to transform himself into a half-human, half-artifact being, and to nurture the supreme Dao Fruit, break free from the artifact, and live a seventh life through Nirvana. Liang Yu's transformation this time is a method that is more than one level above the method of the Undying Emperor.

Therefore, although the Immortal Emperor's magic is centered on the power of Nirvana, it is no secret to Liang Yu.

The Immortal Emperor's current research into magic is complete enough to successfully realize his vision, so the probability of him living out his seventh life is quite high. Such an achievement is already more than enough.

However, in Liang Yu's eyes, the Immortal Emperor method still has many problems and can be further improved to reduce risks, increase results, and most importantly, help him improve efficiency.

Otherwise, if the Immortal Emperor's method were to continue, it would take at least hundreds of thousands of years to reach the point of breaking through the artifact and being reborn, and it would probably take hundreds of thousands of years to use this power to be reborn into a seventh life.

While his achievements are significant, the time he's consuming is indeed taking too long.

For all these reasons, Liang Yu postponed his research on himself and his discussion with Yuanshi Tianzun, and went directly to the Primordial Ancient Mine.

Of course, apart from the Immortal Emperor, his other disciple, Taichu, has now reached complete perfection and no longer needs to be nurtured in the Taichu Ancient Mine.

The current Tai Chu, even upon being born and beginning cultivation, can demonstrate the most outstanding talent in the human universe. However, for Liang Yu, although the current Tai Chu is already almost comparable to a Chaos Body, there is still room for slight improvement.

If Tai Chu is brought back to Wuji Immortal Mountain for nurturing, he can undergo further sublimation and reach a level truly comparable to the Chaos Body, like the two sons of the Undying Emperor.

Therefore, bringing Taichu to Wuji Immortal Mountain was also one of Liang Yu's objectives.

Therefore, Liang Yu arrived at the Primordial Ancient Mine in an instant and came directly in front of the Undying Emperor.

Upon hearing Liang Yu's words, the Immortal Emperor couldn't help but ask, "Is there truly an ultimate level to the Mortal Immortal realm?"

Liang Yu said, "Although I am certain that I will soon enter another realm of the Mortal Immortal and truly reach the point where there is no further progress, I am also unsure whether this is my own limit or the limit of the Mortal Immortal."

If he reached Liang Yu's own limit, it's uncertain whether he reached the pinnacle of immortality; perhaps he's still within the peak of the Mortal Immortal realm. However, if he reached the limit of the Mortal Immortal realm, then he would have indeed reached the pinnacle of immortality. But currently, there are no Immortal Kings or Immortal King artifacts in the mortal universe, so Liang Yu cannot be entirely certain whether he succeeded.

Of course, this is also because his immortal embryo has not yet truly been born. Once he has fully succeeded, if he can enter the immortal realm alone without damaging it, without the need for three mortal immortals to join forces, then he will most likely have succeeded.

After all, even powerful immortals like Ye Fan, Ruthless Emperor, and Wushi Emperor from later generations still needed the three of them to work together. It's impossible for a peak immortal to have such an ability on their own.

The Undying Emperor said, "So, Master, your next step is to explore the legendary Immortal King's Domain?"

Liang Yu said, "The secret realm system of the human universe is incomplete. Reaching the level of a Red Dust Immortal is already the peak of the existing system. To become an Immortal King, one probably needs to create one's own sixth secret realm based on these five major secret realms."

Upon hearing this, the Undying Emperor frowned. Having cultivated in the mortal realm for many years, he had thoroughly studied the Secret Realm Technique. This system, at least in its existing parts, was absolutely flawless and significantly stronger than the Chaotic Ancient Technique he had previously studied. To become a Celestial King by developing new Secret Realms on this foundation was indeed quite difficult.

However, these things are still far from his reach. He is currently significantly further from becoming a celestial being in the mortal realm, and it is clearly too early for him to consider how to become the legendary Celestial King.

So the Immortal Emperor simply kept this direction in mind, preparing to try to study it later.

Seeing that the Immortal Emperor had calmed down, Liang Yu continued, "Is your transformation this time in order to refer to the secrets of the Corpse Dissolution Immortal Technique?"

The Undying Emperor said, "Yes, Master. Is there any problem with my method?"

Upon hearing Liang Yu mention his method of transformation, the Immortal Emperor immediately asked a question.

Although he had studied this method very thoroughly and had the Blood Phoenix Emperor as a pioneer to help him accumulate experience, this method was still too dangerous. No one had ever succeeded in it since ancient times, so the Undying Emperor was also apprehensive.

But he was very certain that his master, the Supreme Heavenly Venerable, could see whether there was anything he had not done well enough.

After all, the method of dissolving the corpse to become an immortal was originally derived by the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji himself based on the methods of merging the primordial spirit with the Dao weapon, the methods of evolving the immortal realm, and the mysteries of the Boundless Dao Stele. As for the method of Phoenix Nirvana, the Undying Emperor had already passed it on to his master long ago.

Liang Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Your method is quite ingenious, and if it continues like this, it should be successful. But to achieve complete success, it will probably take a very long time."

The Immortal Emperor felt relieved upon hearing this. Since it could be successful, it at least ensured that his path to immortality in the mortal world was not yet over, but the excessive time taken was indeed a major problem.

Four hundred thousand years after his last Nirvana, a Taiyin Human Emperor appeared in the human universe who was about to catch up with him. If it were slower, he might actually be overtaken.

So the Immortal Emperor said, "Please enlighten me, Master, so that I may perfect this method."
