Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 706 Discussion
It might be a good thing that the Taiyin Emperor didn't participate in the debate between Liang Yu and the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

Although the Taiyin Emperor is one of the two people in the human universe who are closest to becoming a mortal immortal, apart from Liang Yu, Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Daode Tianzun, he is still about a third of the way to go. Therefore, it is still a bit of a stretch for him to keep up with Liang Yu and Yuanshi Tianzun in their discussions on the Dao.

It's better to take spiritual practice one step at a time and make steady progress.

Gaining significant insights and exploring future directions based on his current stage is far more useful than knowing the secrets of areas he cannot yet access.

The Purple Crystal Palace atop Mount Wuji was originally a forbidden zone for life. However, thanks to Liang Yu's continuous modifications and enhancements over the years, it has become one with Mount Wuji, faintly possessing an immortal divinity that perfectly complements the immortal aura of these two mortal immortals.

After taking his seat, Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Back then, you used the principles of Yin and Yang to unify all laws. Was it because you saw the appearance of this Yin Emperor and that Yang Emperor that you deliberately developed the Yin-Yang duality method first?"

Liang Yu shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi is joking. It's just a coincidence."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable said, "Sometimes, I really wonder if you don't belong to this world, but are a great supernatural being from outside the human universe who has undergone rebirth."

“Fellow Daoist Wuji, my accumulation has reached its final stage. In my current advanced age, I can no longer make progress and explore the boundaries of the Mortal Immortal realm. If I want to explore my limits, I need to return to my peak.”

Liang Yu had already explored another realm within the domain of the Immortals of the Mortal World, so he could naturally see the current state of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

Although he has aged considerably and become a mortal immortal, he reached this level in his later years, so even though he is immortal, he is not at his peak.

However, it is impossible to reach the ultimate state of a mortal immortal in this state. Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun could only live out his ninth life first, so that he could reach his best state before trying to break through the limit.

Of course, after Yuanshi Tianzun lived out his ninth incarnation, he should have been able to reach the peak of the Mortal Immortal realm.

In this attempt to reach the pinnacle of immortality, Liang Yu gained a deeper understanding of the realm of the Mortal Immortal.

Becoming a Red Dust Immortal is already an extremely rare feat, with a limitless future. However, among these exceptionally talented cultivators, only a tiny fraction can continue to progress after becoming a Red Dust Immortal. Most Red Dust Immortals, after achieving their goal, can only attempt to become Immortal Kings and are unable to advance any further.

Even among the geniuses who are also Red Dust Immortals, those who can reach the peak of the Red Dust Immortal realm are extremely rare.

The pinnacle of immortality is essentially a product of breaking through the limits based on the peak of the mortal immortal realm. Only the most powerful mortal immortals can possibly reach this realm.

Based on Liang Yu's experience, Yuanshi Tianzun might be able to break through the barrier of the peak of the Mortal Immortal realm, but to reach the pinnacle of immortality, at least judging from his current performance, it's probably not enough. Of course, this is based on the premise that Liang Yu himself is about to reach the pinnacle of immortality.

Liang Yu said, "What Fellow Daoist Yuanshi said is true. After living out your ninth life, you will have more room to grow, and perhaps you can directly reach the peak of the Red Dust Immortal realm."

"The ultimate peak of immortality that I am exploring is essentially an attempt to break through the limit of the peak of immortality in the mortal world."

Yuanshi Tianzun pondered, "Breaking through the limit? I haven't felt the existence of this limit yet. I can continue to improve at a very slow pace. Perhaps I will feel it when I live out my ninth life."

Liang Yu himself felt he had reached the peak of the Mortal Immortal realm when he was around 700,000 years old, and could no longer progress. Yuanshi Tianzun started much later than him, so it would probably take him a long time to reach that level. However, his transformation into his ninth incarnation should greatly accelerate this accumulation process.

Yuanshi Tianzun is already preparing to live out his ninth life. Although based on his past experience, he should be able to complete this transformation naturally, some preliminary preparations are still necessary.

Therefore, Liang Yu told Yuanshi Tianzun about the method of his transformation and the key points he perceived during the transformation process, so that he could further improve his method of living out his ninth life.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable was quite amazed by Liang Yu's transformation. This Limitless Celestial Venerable had accumulated such knowledge over 700,000 years of cultivation, and finally, through this profound understanding, he unleashed his full potential and broke through to the pinnacle of immortality.

Although Yuanshi Tianzun's path to immortality in the mortal world was progressing rapidly and his accumulation was quite substantial, it was still not enough compared to Liang Yu's.

If such accumulation is required to break through to the pinnacle of immortality, then the Primordial Celestial Venerable has no confidence in it.

However, these experiences were of great reference value for Yuanshi Tianzun to live out his ninth life, which could help him achieve even greater results. Therefore, he still benefited greatly this time, and the immortal embryo that had been nurtured in his body for many years began to undergo some subtle changes.

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Fellow Daoist Wuji, farewell. After I have lived out my ninth life, I will come again to discuss the future with you."

Liang Yu said, "We really should start thinking about the future. By then, Fellow Daoist Morality and Fellow Daoist Lingbao should also become immortals in the mortal world, and we can discuss important matters together."

Immediately afterwards, Yuanshi Tianzun left Wuji Immortal Mountain and returned to Kunlun Sacred Realm, where he began to seclude himself to comprehend Liang Yu's method for reaching the pinnacle of immortality, making final preparations for living out his ninth incarnation.

Liang Yu turned his gaze to the depths of the universe, beginning to observe the current state of the Mortal Celestial Venerable and the Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable. Compared to the Primordial Celestial Venerable, who was about to reach the peak of the Mortal Immortal realm, and Liang Yu, who was about to become the pinnacle of immortality, the two of them were clearly lagging behind.

Over the years, their bodies have begun to produce longevity substances, nurturing true immortality.

In truth, they could already become immortals in the mortal realm, but clearly, both of these Celestial Venerables are striving to make their ninth incarnation as perfect as possible, possessing the most perfect immortal physique in the mortal realm. They should both achieve this in a few tens of thousands of years at most.

Liang Yu felt gratified that most of his fellow Daoists from back then had achieved something by now.

However, when Liang Yu thought back to those days, he couldn't help but think of the Underworld Lord, the only fellow Daoist among the five of them from the mythical era who was still far from becoming a Red Dust Immortal.

The Underworld Lord has not yet lived out a new life, which is indeed too slow. Even though, under the influence of Liang Yu and others, his Underworld Lord has accumulated more profound knowledge in this life, he still has not yet started the next life.

However, when Liang Yu looked at him from across the endless starry sky, he discovered that the transformation of the Underworld Lord seemed to have entered a completely new stage, an upgrade on the original basis.

From this perspective, although his path to immortality in the mortal world will still take several million years, it should be faster than in the original timeline, and his achievements should be even greater.

However, even with such a slight speed, it was impossible for him to catch up with Liang Yu and the others. He probably wouldn't even catch up with the batch of the Undying Emperor and the Taiyin Human Emperor, so Liang Yu stopped paying attention to him.
