Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 718 Deduction
After deciding to continue their cultivation in the human universe, Liang Yu and the others began to explore their future direction.

Liang Yu said, "As you all should already know, the existing five secret realms are already very complete. The human body can no longer form a sixth secret realm, so this secret realm needs to be extended from within itself to the outside."

Yuanshi Tianzun pondered and said, "Yes, this sixth secret realm should be a special place that has been sublimated to the extreme after the five great secret realms have been perfected."

Immediately, the four of them began to explain their ideas about the sixth secret realm. Of course, even Liang Yu, who had reached the pinnacle of immortality, had not yet successfully opened up the sixth secret realm, let alone the others. Therefore, they were mostly exchanging their conjectures and deductions.

Of course, Liang Yu was the one who went the furthest among them. He had already determined his direction for the sixth secret realm, which was the Qiankun Creation Tower.

The Qiankun Creation Tower is Liang Yu's natal divine weapon, which has grown alongside him since before he attained enlightenment. It has progressed in sync with him from beginning to end, encompassing all of Liang Yu's Dao achievements.

In a sense, a cultivator's natal magic weapon can be considered a continuation of their life and Dao fruit. Under Liang Yu's various methods of refinement, the relationship between the Qiankun Creation Tower and Liang Yu became even closer, almost like one with him, far surpassing that of ordinary cultivators.

Now, the Qiankun Creation Tower has become an unparalleled supreme immortal artifact. Its evolution process is almost the same as Liang Yu's, which is the ultimate leap after he has fully integrated all his previous accumulations.

Furthermore, Liang Yu consciously incorporated the secrets of the Boundless Dao Stele's birth into the process, ultimately making the pagoda almost a living entity.

Therefore, the Qiankun Creation Tower is now like an alter ego of Liang Yu, almost a part of his body.

Under these circumstances, it is entirely feasible for Liang Yu to completely integrate the Qiankun Creation Tower with himself and use it to bear the ultimate Dao fruit after the completion of his five secret realms.

Liang Yu's idea made the other three Celestial Venerables fall into deep thought. After much deduction, they found that it was indeed a possible direction.

However, to achieve this, one needs not only a natal magic weapon that grows in sync with the main body from beginning to end and is closely connected to it, but also to continuously refine and modify it using special methods in order to make it truly become a part of the main body.

Yuanshi Tianzun no longer has any natal magic treasures, and the four immortal artifacts of Daode Tianzun have shared his Dao. Only Lingbao Tianzun may be able to explore this direction like Liang Yu.

However, it is clear that all three of them have their own ideas. Liang Yu's direction is only a reference for them. Their personal research is more inclined to the ultimate sublimation of their own Dao fruit rather than relying on external things.

To be honest, Liang Yu was the one who took an unorthodox approach, using his own Dao-proving treasure to cheat others; the three of them were actually more similar to the Desolate Heaven Emperor in their direction.

Of course, the reason why Liang Yu was able to develop this method first was largely due to his previous accumulation of knowledge, which naturally led him to this point, and it was an unexpected bonus.

However, at this time, Liang Yu used the Qiankun Creation Tower as the sixth secret realm more to deduce the method of creating the sixth secret realm and to push the art of weapon refining to a whole new level. He was laying the groundwork for his research on the second type of sixth secret realm and the creation of his own cultivation system, rather than really wanting to become an Immortal King.

For Liang Yu, who had already reached the pinnacle of immortality, becoming a Celestial King naturally required accumulating the deepest possible foundation. He not only needed to create the Sixth Secret Realm but also to develop his own system and even work with the Celestial Venerable Lingbao to further refine the Domain Technique. Only then could he become a Celestial King and, with this immense accumulation, leap to an extremely high realm among Celestial Kings, thus saving himself cultivation time in the Celestial King realm and reaching a higher realm much faster.

Of course, this is from the perspective of the more distant future. If we're talking about the present, Liang Yu's goal is more to grant his Qiankun Creation Tower unprecedented power, making it stronger and even enabling it to play a greater role in the future.

After discussing the sixth secret realm for a while, they turned the topic back to the current situation.

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Now that you, Fellow Daoist Wuji, have reached the pinnacle of immortality, you can enter the Immortal Realm even alone. So, what should we do with the cultivators in the strange world? Should we send them into the Immortal Realm now?"

Liang Yu said, "Personally, I still prefer to let them wait for hundreds of thousands of years, until someone of ours becomes a Celestial King. Although even if they don't have to worry about their lifespan, it will be difficult for them to make any breakthroughs, let alone become a Mortal Immortal. But accumulating more time in this Dharma-ending environment can also allow them to gain a deeper foundation."

"If I were to say now that I could help them enter the Immortal Realm, I'm afraid very few people would be willing to continue cultivating in this strange world where lifespans are finite and progress is extremely difficult."

The Celestial Venerable of Morality nodded and said, "Yes, they can still rely on the longevity substance to continue living at this time, and it's good for them to be tempered a little more. Moreover, the most important thing is that we don't know much about the situation in the Immortal Realm yet. If they rashly enter it, who knows what might happen."

Lingbao Tianzun said, "Yes, let's wait until someone of ours becomes a Celestial King before sending them to the Celestial Realm to cultivate."

Liang Yu said, "If any of us become Immortal Kings, we can even build another Immortal Gate between the Strange World and the Immortal Realm, allowing them to ascend a second time. We'll talk about that then."

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "What you all say is very true, so let's do it that way."

After their discussion, the Celestial Venerable of Morality and the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning took their leave and returned to their respective dojos, where they began to focus intently on their progress in the realm of immortals in the mortal world, and on the sixth secret realm to come.

Lingbao Tianzun did not leave, but said to Liang Yu, "Fellow Daoist Wuji, we still need to exchange more ideas on this domain technique and refine it further."

Liang Yu said, "That's exactly what I was thinking."

Immediately afterwards, they began to exchange their research on the field method, complement each other, and work together to deduce methods to further improve it.

Lingbao Tianzun's dual Dao Fruits indeed have a clear advantage at this stage. If he can combine the accumulation of creating the field system and opening the sixth secret realm to become a Celestial King, he will inevitably become a strong one among the Celestial Kings.

Liang Yu has already reached the pinnacle of immortality, so even if the field technique is not entirely suitable for him, he can still make continuous breakthroughs. In addition, with the presence of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao, they can naturally continue to improve it.
