Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 703 Ending
Seeing that the Immortal Emperor had gotten back on track and was beginning to develop in the correct direction that had been previously researched, Liang Yu stopped paying attention to him.

With these improvements, the time required for the Immortal Emperor's transformation will be shortened considerably, but even so, it will probably be hundreds of thousands of years before he lives out his seventh life.

After all, it would take him two or three hundred thousand years to achieve extraordinary results using the form of a celestial artifact, not to mention that he would need to undergo a Nirvana after shattering the artifact to achieve perfection and live out his seventh life.

Although he progressed slowly, Liang Yu was very optimistic about the future of the Immortal Emperor.

In this timeline, the Immortal Emperor's Path to Immortality is significantly more difficult than in the original timeline, so he will be even more powerful when he finally succeeds.

Liang Yu turned his gaze to the Blood Phoenix statue that the Blood Phoenix Emperor had transformed into, and couldn't help but sigh. It was quite a coincidence that the Blood Phoenix Emperor had still embarked on the path of merging the Primordial Spirit with the Dao after the history of the human universe had undergone considerable changes.

The method used by the Blood Phoenix Emperor was a preliminary version of the method deduced by the Undying Emperor. Although it was relatively perfect, it still had many problems. Compared with the method he later perfected, it had many loopholes, not to mention the method that Liang Yu has further improved.

If the Blood Phoenix Emperor continues on this path, while his chances of success are not low, the risks are enormous. Furthermore, with the Undying Emperor currently preoccupied with his own evolution and unable to attend to his own affairs, the Blood Phoenix Emperor's future is uncertain.

Although Liang Yu didn't have any particular fondness for the Blood Phoenix Emperor, he was, after all, led down this path by his disciple, the Undying Emperor, so he naturally couldn't just abandon him.

So Liang Yu said, "Blood Phoenix Emperor, as you can see, he has already begun his transformation and no longer has time to help you continue to improve. I'll give you two choices. If you want to give up this path now, I can guarantee that you can regain your Blood Phoenix form right now and make significant progress compared to before."

"If you wish to continue on this path, then come with me to Wuji Immortal Mountain. In the future, after he completes his transformation, I will allow you to come and continue your cultivation with him."

Since the Immortal Emperor reached his later years in this life, he has tried his best to maintain a clear mind, wanting to witness the process of the Immortal Emperor transforming into a vessel in order to identify and make up for his shortcomings.

While Liang Yu was instructing the Undying Emperor on how to modify his transformation method, the Blood Phoenix Emperor was actually in a conscious state the whole time.

To hear this legendary figure, who had long since become a mortal immortal, discussing the methods of transformation with the supreme emperor, the Undying Emperor, especially methods relevant to himself, was undoubtedly a great opportunity.

But the Blood Phoenix Emperor soon discovered with some sorrow that he couldn't keep up with many of the things the Boundless Heavenly Venerable was saying. Although he still gained a considerable amount, this feeling still pained him deeply.

When Liang Yu offered to take him to Wuji Immortal Mountain, Blood Phoenix Emperor immediately understood that Wuji Heavenly Venerable was showing him some favor out of respect for his disciple.

"Great Celestial Venerable, please allow me to go to Wuji Immortal Mountain to cultivate."

The Blood Phoenix Emperor immediately made his choice without the slightest hesitation.

Firstly, he has been on this path, which is derived from the method of corpse dissolution and immortality, for tens of thousands of years. If he gives up now, he will not be willing to give up the sunk costs he has invested.

Secondly, the opportunity to cultivate under the guidance of this Supreme Celestial Venerable is an unimaginable stroke of luck. Even someone like the Undying Emperor could benefit greatly from the Supreme Celestial Venerable's guidance, so if the Supreme Celestial Venerable were to offer him even a little guidance, he too could achieve extraordinary results, laying a more solid foundation for the future. Thirdly, he had already resolved to follow the Undying Emperor and strive for the revival of the Phoenix Clan, hoping that this merit would allow his Blood Phoenix Clan to become a branch of the Phoenix Clan in the future.

The Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji is the master of the Undying Emperor. Having cultivated under his guidance allows him to be closer to the Undying Emperor, ensuring that he will not leave the core of the Phoenix Clan in the future.

Liang Yu nodded and said, "Alright, since you have such ambition, then I will lend you a hand."

Liang Yu could roughly guess what the Blood Phoenix Emperor was thinking. If he could truly achieve something in the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal Technique with his help, then perhaps in the future, he could really become the Undying Emperor's right-hand man.

So, it's not a big deal to give him a push.

Liang Yu used a powerful technique called "Universe in a Sleeve" to store the Blood Phoenix Emperor and the Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd to which he had entrusted his Dao Fruit into his sleeve, and then looked at Tai Chu.

Through the accumulation of these long years, Tai Chu has truly reached perfection and can be born at any time to become an invincible Holy Spirit. Although his cultivation level has remained at the Saint Realm since the beginning due to Liang Yu's modifications, his potential already qualifies him to compete for the title of the strongest Holy Spirit in history.

Because it had already been conceived, the Primordial Beginning had actually been awakened for tens of thousands of years. However, since its master was in seclusion, it was unable to transfer itself to the Wuji Immortal Mountain. Once it was born, it would destroy its innate Dao essence and would no longer be able to be strengthened by the Wuji Immortal Mountain. Therefore, they could only continue to use the Primordial Beginning Immortal Scripture to enhance their own foundation. However, by this time, its effect had become negligible.

Upon finally seeing Liang Yu, he excitedly asked, "Master, are you here to take me to Wuji Immortal Mountain?"

Liang Yu said, "I have been in seclusion for many years and have neglected to take care of you, causing you to waste one or two thousand years. It is because I did not consider things carefully."

Tai Chu said, "Master, please don't say that. I was able to evolve to this point without any worries, all thanks to your abilities. I have been nurtured for more than a million years, so this one or two thousand years is nothing. Master, you don't need to worry about it."

Liang Yu said, "It's good that you don't blame me."

As he spoke, Liang Yu pointed out a field array that evolved in the void, forming a shape like a placenta. It slowly sucked Tai Chu out of the core mine of the Tai Chu Ancient Mine, allowing it to exist independently of the Tai Chu Ancient Mine for the first time without damaging its innate Daoist essence.

Tai Chu's senior brother, the Undying Emperor, had visited Wuji Immortal Mountain more than once. From him, Tai Chu knew that it was an immortal mountain far superior to the Tai Chu Ancient Mine in every way. Therefore, Tai Chu was very curious about Wuji Immortal Mountain.

As the first person in the strictest sense to formally become a disciple of the Supreme Heavenly Venerable, I have yet to visit his sacred temple, which is indeed a bit of a regret.

Now, not only can he enter this immortal mountain that he has been curious about for many years, but he can also be further nurtured within it. Naturally, Tai Chu's heart is filled with joy.

Liang Yu glanced at the now somewhat empty Primordial Ancient Mine, put the Primordial Essence into his sleeve, turned and left towards the Boundless Immortal Mountain.
