Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 713 Weapon Refining
The moment the Celestial Venerable of Morality became a Mortal Immortal, these four celestial artifacts would evolve and become more powerful due to their connection with him. Therefore, even though the Celestial Venerable of Morality lived out his ninth incarnation and truly became a Mortal Immortal without revealing any aura, and succeeded so naturally, these four celestial artifacts could still sense the changes in their master, the Celestial Venerable of Morality.

After all, his transformation this time truly crossed the gap between immortals and mortals, and the resulting evolution of these four immortal artifacts was a very significant qualitative change.

Of course, although these four items were all immortal artifacts personally crafted by the Celestial Venerable of Morality, there are still considerable differences between them.

The Taiji Diagram is the natal magic weapon of the Celestial Venerable of Morality. It has been growing alongside him since before he attained enlightenment, and therefore it has received the greatest benefits and shows signs of becoming an unparalleled celestial artifact.

If the Celestial Venerable of Morality takes good care of it and allows his own mortal power to help it complete this evolution, then the Taiji Diagram can truly reach the level of an unparalleled immortal artifact.

After all, the position of a supreme immortal artifact among immortal artifacts is roughly equivalent to the position of a mortal immortal among true immortals. Therefore, a moral celestial being who has become a mortal immortal can naturally refine a supreme immortal artifact.

The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was meticulously crafted by the Celestial Venerable of Morality as an experiment to try and obtain a second treasure for proving his Dao. Although it was not completely successful, it still established a closer connection with him. Therefore, the progress made by this pagoda was secondary. Although it was significantly inferior to the supreme immortal artifacts, it was still enough to surpass most immortal artifacts.

If he can further refine it in the future, it is not impossible for this pagoda to also be promoted to a supreme immortal artifact.

Although the Eight Trigrams Furnace was the second divine weapon he forged, it was mainly a divine furnace specially forged by the Celestial Venerable of Morality in order to further study the methods of alchemy and weapon forging. It was inherently more of an auxiliary tool, so his connection with the Celestial Venerable of Morality was not as deep, and therefore his evolution was less significant.

As for the final Vajra Bracelet, the Celestial Venerable once attempted to synthesize various materials into one to create celestial materials comparable to celestial gold. The final result was Kun steel, and the Vajra Bracelet was refined from this synthesized celestial material.

Therefore, the connection between this celestial artifact and the Celestial Venerable of Morality is not very strong, and thus its evolution is not significant.

However, in any case, these four celestial artifacts all experienced significant growth as the Celestial Venerable of Morality broke through.

However, every gain has its loss. If the Celestial Venerable of Morality didn't possess the other three immortal artifacts, or if he had concentrated all the energy he gained from becoming a celestial being in the mortal realm onto the Taiji Diagram, he might have been able to directly transform it into a supreme immortal artifact. Even if he didn't reach that level, he would have been just one step away. But because he dispersed this power, the Taiji Diagram is somewhat lacking in the qualities of a supreme immortal artifact, although all four immortal artifacts have improved.

However, the Celestial Venerable of Morality was not so concerned about this. After becoming a mortal immortal, he no longer had to worry about his lifespan even in the Dharma-ending Age, so it didn't matter if he was slower. It was just a matter of spending more time to let them evolve one by one.

The Supreme Lord of Morality said, "Thank you for your hard work, four of you."

The Tai Chi symbol said, "Our greatest wish is for you to succeed, sir."

The other three immortal artifacts also expressed their approval upon hearing this.

The Supreme Being said, "I will now help you evolve to the next level."

Therefore, he used the power of his own moral immortal body to refine all four immortal artifacts, giving them greater benefits. He also left behind four divine abilities to ignite immortal fire to temper their bodies, allowing them to begin evolving once again.

Then, the Celestial Venerable of Morality turned his attention to Mount Daluo.

Now that he has become a mortal immortal, he can naturally use his supreme methods to further evolve this immortal mountain. Although he will not be able to take this wondrous place with him in the future, he has been in seclusion here for many years, so it would be best to make it evolve further and become more vast and stable.

Perhaps in the future, when they can completely repair the human universe and even make it larger, this Great Luo Immortal Mountain might truly evolve into a new world.

However, considering that some destined individuals might use the Great Luo Immortal Mountain to cultivate into Earth Immortals, the Celestial Venerable of Morality did not allow the Great Luo Immortal Mountain's evolution to become too exaggerated.

After all, the larger the wondrous land that transforms into a blessed land for earth immortals, the more difficult it becomes for one to become an earth immortal. Just like the Wuji Immortal Mountain at this moment, it has evolved to the point where it is unimaginable what kind of cultivator could use this place as a blessed land for earth immortals and successfully become an earth immortal.

It was for this reason that the Great Luo Immortal Mountain of the Moral Celestial Venerable and the Kunlun Sacred Realm of the Primordial Celestial Venerable were consciously restricted after they grew to a certain level, only increasing their foundation, without allowing them to expand and sublimate too much.

After using his methods to make Mount Daluo continue to evolve slowly, the Celestial Venerable of Morality began to sense the old body he had left behind.

He once used the Bodhi Tree to create a divine embryo as his avatar, cultivating the Chaotic Ancient System to strengthen his original body. Later, after this divine embryo reached the end of its lifespan, he left it on the ancient primordial star.

Now, hundreds of thousands of years later, this divine embryo has finally begun to form the reincarnation seal and begin to become a true life. Perhaps in another hundreds of thousands of years, it will be born as a new life.

Afterwards, the Celestial Venerable of Morality began to observe the cultivation of his other fellow Daoists.

At this time, the Primordial Celestial Venerable of Kunlun Immortal Mountain was already attempting to live out his ninth life in order to make himself more perfect, thereby obtaining a more powerful Dao fruit and going further in the mortal immortal realm.

Clearly, at this time, although Yuanshi Tianzun was still some distance from the peak of the Red Dust Immortals, he was already far ahead of Daode Tianzun, who had just become a Red Dust Immortal.

Then, he turned his gaze to Lingbao Tianzun, who was undergoing a transformation on Yuhua Divine Island, and found that his aura had begun to surge continuously. He was about to successfully live out his ninth life and become a mortal immortal, just like Lingbao Tianzun. Daode Tianzun was delighted with his fellow Daoist's achievement.

Finally, he turned his gaze to Mount Wuji, and looked at the Great Celestial Venerable who was ahead of all of them.

After becoming a Mortal Immortal, he naturally set his sights on exploring the boundaries of Mortal Immortals. Judging from his aura, the Limitless Heavenly Venerable, who should have already succeeded, could naturally answer his next questions and help him understand the path ahead.

So the Celestial Venerable of Morality left Mount Daluo and headed towards Mount Wuji.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality paid little attention to his two juniors, the Immortal Emperor and the Lunar Emperor. Although they were very talented, they were, after all, quite far behind. By the time they succeeded, countless millennia would have passed.

The journey of a hundred miles is only half complete at ninety, let alone for them who have only lived six or seven lifetimes. The latter half of the path to immortality in the mortal world will only be more difficult and time-consuming. Not everyone can be like the Boundless Great Celestial Venerable, with almost no gap between each lifetime and basically at his peak at all times.
