Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 705 Successor
The moment Yuanshi Tianzun saw Liang Yu, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to his celestial platform. Although it was only a celestial embryo being conceived there, Yuanshi Tianzun still sensed a terrifying aura, an aura that he was completely unable to resist.

Even if he successfully lives out his ninth life and undergoes a transformation, there will probably still be a significant gap.

Yuanshi Tianzun had anticipated this outcome. Wuji Tianzun's accumulation of power clearly surpassed his own, and after 230,000 years of slumber, his achievements would undoubtedly be even more terrifying. His ninth incarnation had only been brewing for less than 100,000 years, so naturally, it could not compare.

But after actually sensing the aura, Yuanshi Tianzun still felt that the gap seemed to be larger than he had imagined.

He couldn't help but sigh, "Fellow Daoist Wuji, it seems you have truly explored the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm."

Liang Yu said, "It may be, it may not be. We can't say for sure until we actually succeed."

Upon meeting Yuanshi Tianzun, who was already preparing for his ninth incarnation, Liang Yu's confidence in achieving the pinnacle of immortality grew even stronger.

After all, the celestial embryo that Yuanshi Tianzun was currently developing, which would allow him to live for nine lifetimes, was significantly inferior to his achievements.

Although the Primordial Celestial Venerable of the current timeline is no longer an Emperor, he has reversed his life seven times in the human universe to become a Mortal Immortal, and is even about to reverse his life a eighth time to perfect himself and reach a higher level in the Mortal Immortal realm. Therefore, his achievements in the Mortal Immortal realm should not be weaker than those of the Great Emperor Wushi and the Ruthless Great Emperor of later generations.

His current Dao attainment is clearly superior to that of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, which means that the possibility of this state being the pinnacle of immortality is already very high.

As a successor of the Supreme Celestial Venerable in some aspects of the Dao Fruit, the Yin Human Emperor couldn't help but feel overjoyed upon seeing him again. In a daze, he recalled his childhood and the scenes of being guided by the Supreme Celestial Venerable.

After he exchanged a few pleasantries with the Primordial Celestial Venerable, the Taiyin Human Emperor said, "Great Celestial Venerable, Taiyin greets you."

Liang Yu looked at the Taiyin Emperor and realized that he had, like himself in the past, cultivated a Chaos Body through acquired means. Clearly, with a definite direction and someone to reduce the cost of trial and error for his path, the Taiyin Emperor had also begun to become a seed of immortality in the mortal world.

In the original timeline, it was certain that the Taiyin Emperor had reached the point of Yin Yin giving birth to Yang. After that, he stopped exploring further because the path to immortality had been opened, and eventually died on the path to immortality due to an unexpected event.

However, judging from the related deeds he left behind and his behavior after his divine power brought back his past life's enlightenment, he was indeed not an ordinary enlightened being.

Therefore, Liang Yu felt somewhat regretful that the Taiyin Emperor had reached this point.

He said, "I am truly gratified that you have come this far. Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, it seems we have a worthy successor."

The Primordial Celestial said, "Indeed, after us, the only ones in the mortal universe who have the potential to become Immortals are your disciple, the Undying Emperor, and this Human Emperor. I wonder when the third Immortal seed will appear in the mortal universe. When that happens, even if we leave, we won't have to worry about future Daoists being unable to enter the Immortal Realm."

Afterwards, the three of them did not linger and entered the Wuji Immortal Mountain.

For Yuanshi Tianzun, this immortal mountain was a place he had visited many times before, so it was nothing of interest to him. But for Taiyin Renhuang, it was a different story. The scale of this immortal mountain was indeed far beyond his imagination, and even Mount Tai could not compare to it.

Of course, this is the result of Liang Yu's numerous modifications to this immortal mountain through various means. If it had been allowed to develop normally into an immortal mountain, it probably wouldn't be as good as the fully restored Mount Tai. The ancient tea tree and the humanoid immortal elixir inside the immortal mountain are also extremely different. The Taiyin Emperor, who has possessed the laurel immortal elixir for many years, can naturally see that these two immortal herbs are significantly different from normal immortal herbs, clearly having undergone some unknown evolution.

The Chaos Green Lotus was still a seed at this time, submerged at the bottom of the Boundless Immortal Pool, so even the Taiyin Human Emperor could not sense its aura.

In addition, what attracted the attention of the Taiyin Human Emperor were those immortal artifacts and the Blood Phoenix Emperor.

The Taiyin Emperor couldn't help but ask, "Great Heavenly Venerable, with the Blood Phoenix Emperor here, could it be that Fellow Daoist Undying has already begun his cultivation for the next life?"

Liang Yu said, "Yes, I just came back from the Primordial Ancient Mine."

The Taiyin Emperor felt a slight pang of regret. After all, the Undying Emperor was the only fellow Daoist who was not much different from him so far. The end of his life meant that he would not see him for a long time and would have to rely on himself to explore the future.

However, the Taiyin Emperor's attention was soon drawn to the special laws and the primordial energy of heaven and earth behind the Wuji Immortal Mountain.

Liang Yu once created the Yin-Yang Immortal Pool and the Chaos Immortal Pool in Wuji Immortal Mountain, and finally transformed them into the Wuji Immortal Pool as it is today. This process caused the laws of Wuji Immortal Mountain to undergo a series of changes.

Clearly, for the Taiyin Human Emperor who relied on the principles of Yin and Yang to create chaos, the laws within the Wuji Immortal Mountain were of great inspiration to him.

Although Liang Yu was very familiar with the Dao and Dharma of the Yin Emperor, he was not so familiar with the Dharma that evolved in the Wuji Immortal Mountain through similar but different processes.

It is precisely for this reason that the Taiyin Human Emperor can use the understanding of the laws of this place to compare and perfect his own Tao and Law from another perspective.

Thus, the Taiyin Emperor directly entered into enlightenment and began to comprehend the core laws of the Wuji Immortal Mountain, that is, the mysteries of the Wuji Immortal Scripture.

Liang Yu said, "It seems that my thinking was correct. He is indeed my true successor, and he can walk a path similar to mine but different from mine. It remains to be seen what kind of law he will sublimate with the perfect chaotic law in the future."

Judging from the current performance of the Taiyin Human Emperor, he should be able to continue to learn from Liang Yu's methods and comprehend the secrets of sublimating from chaos into his own supreme immortal techniques and supreme immortal body. This may also be one of his most important transformations in the future.

Although the final results were different, the process did indeed overlap considerably with Liang Yu's path.

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "It is truly a great fortune to have such a successor."

The Taiyin Emperor was already deeply engrossed in enlightenment. Perhaps he could gain new insights from his understanding of the laws of Wuji Immortal Mountain and thus obtain the method of transformation. Therefore, Liang Yu and Yuanshi Tianzun did not disturb him, but instead bypassed the Taiyin Emperor and went directly to the Zijing Palace at the top of Wuji Immortal Mountain.

Of course, Liang Yu also mobilized the laws of Wuji Immortal Mountain to gather them into one, allowing the Taiyin Human Emperor to better comprehend these Dao and laws, thereby achieving greater results.
