Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 719 The Daoist of Limitless Power
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, ten thousand years have passed.

During this period, Liang Yu and Lingbao Tianzun continuously deduced the field method, making it more perfect and gradually evolving into an independent system.

Even if it's just a prototype, creating a cultivation system is extremely difficult. Therefore, Liang Yu and Lingbao Tianzun quickly hit a bottleneck and found it difficult to find a breakthrough for a while.

However, during this period of research, Lingbao Tianzun's cultivation has made significant progress. Possessing two Dao Fruits, the refinement of his domain techniques naturally makes his domain Dao Fruits more perfect and powerful.

After trying everything, they found that they could not make any significant breakthroughs in a short period of time. So, Lingbao Tianzun returned to his Daoist temple and began to explore the laws of the Sixth Secret Realm.

Of course, this is mainly because the field method is not Liang Yu's method. Even if he becomes a peak immortal comparable to an immortal king, it is difficult for him to quickly deduce and perfect it.

However, Liang Yu and Lingbao Tianzun reached an agreement that when they achieved something, they would exchange ideas to help the system take shape more quickly.

For Lingbao Tianzun, the field technique is an important goal on par with the sixth secret realm, as it determines his possibility of becoming a Celestial King, so he naturally has to take it seriously.

The reason Liang Yu was willing to continue improving on this system, which wasn't particularly suitable for him, was that if they succeeded, he could also gain a partial identity as a creator of the law, thus deepening his own foundation.

After Lingbao Tianzun left, Liang Yu temporarily put aside the field technique and took out his old body left over from his previous transformation.

Although this old body is far inferior to his current one, it is still a genuine immortal body in the mortal world. Even though it has lost all its spirituality, this body has retained its vitality because of its connection with the human universe, as if it were still alive.

Liang Yu deliberately preserved this old body so that he could use it to create an avatar. After he left the human universe, this avatar could take his place and oversee the human world.

Liang Yu took out the Qiankun Creation Tower and extracted the power of faith that had been sealed within it for nearly a million years. Back in the mythological era, the power of faith he had collected had already coalesced into a divine embryo. If he were to enlighten it, he could directly create a divine self whose combat power was comparable to, or even surpassed, that of an ordinary Daoist.

But at that time, Liang Yu did not need such a divine body. After all, after he enlightened this divine embryo, he became a real living being, which would age and die, just like the Undying Daoist enlightened by the Undying Emperor in the original timeline.

Therefore, Liang Yu had been intentionally suppressing the development of consciousness in this divine embryo, interrupting its process of evolving into a true life form.

Of course, although Liang Yu interrupted his evolution, the power of faith continued to gather into this divine embryo, making its foundation deeper and more terrifying.

Over countless years, this divine embryo has become incredibly powerful.

After all, Liang Yu was the first person in the mythical era, known as the Great Celestial Venerable, and the power of faith he gathered was already enormous. Later, after he established the Immortal Gate together with Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Daode Tianzun, the power of faith that gathered towards him became even more terrifying, and it was always continuous and never stopped.

Even later, the two human emperors born on Ziwei Star greatly promoted the generation of faith power to a certain extent.

Under the combined influence of these factors, the power of faith that Liang Yu had sealed away had become unimaginably vast. However, through Liang Yu's methods, all of this power of faith was condensed into this divine embryo, making it increasingly refined. Now, Liang Yu has reached the pinnacle of immortality and possesses a near-immortal mortal body, so it is naturally time for this divine embryo to be born.

Liang Yu took the divine embryo and the shed old body, and used his great supernatural powers to merge them together. He then used the divine embryo to imbue the old body with spirituality, allowing it to come back to life and become his clone.

The power of faith of the Undying Emperor was enough to directly enlighten an Undying Daoist. Liang Yu, who was far superior to him, would have unimaginable strength even if he had only enlightened the Divine Embryo. Not to mention, now he also had such a mortal immortal body to bear all of this.

Through his forbidden methods, his old body and the divine embryo of faith were completely merged into one, transforming into a brand new life, a life imbued with immortality.

Liang Yu sealed this celestial embryo deep within the Wuji Immortal Mountain to nurture it, allowing it to slowly evolve and grow.

This avatar possesses the immortal aura of a mortal immortal and is connected to the primordial power of the human universe. Once fully formed, it will be immortal. Perhaps, this avatar could become an existence similar to that between a mortal immortal and a terrestrial immortal, thus serving as a guardian deity protecting the human universe.

As for his name, Liang Yu thought of the Immortal Daoist and realized that he was one of the Nine Heavenly Venerables of the Daoist sect, so he named his clone the Limitless Daoist.

Then, Liang Yu turned his gaze to another existence within the Boundless Immortal Mountain, a tree-shaped flame, which came from the almost vanished essence of the Flintwood, the very foundation of the previous Immortal Fire.

The body of this Flintwood, which served as an elixir of immortality, has been completely lost, leaving only its original essence. Liang Yu had promised the Fire Emperor to restore it, but due to his limited strength, he could not do so. Therefore, he could only keep it sealed away and nurture it slowly.

But now the situation is completely different. Liang Yu has reached the pinnacle of immortality. He was helpless before, but now he can make him slowly recover.

As Liang Yu pointed out, the essence of the Flintwood began to grow stronger. Its long-dormant and almost completely extinguished spirituality began to slowly condense, as if it were about to transform into a living being again.

With this one finger, Liang Yu realized that the spirit of the Flintwood was indeed on the verge of complete extinction, with no trace of consciousness left. His restoration of it this time was almost like giving it a new life.

Although Liang Yu could not make it an elixir of immortality again, there was no problem in turning it into a real life.

Perhaps his foundation is weaker than someone who directly transforms from the elixir of immortality, but he is definitely among the top in the human universe, a top-tier seed.

After thinking for a moment, Liang Yu did not transform it into a holy spirit. Instead, following the pattern of the innate Dao embryo left by the Boundless Heavenly Venerable, he used his own blood as the core to reshape the essence of the flint into a life, a humanoid being.

He had already thoroughly mastered the secrets of the human physique through the elixir of immortality and his own path of physical evolution, so shaping it into human form was naturally no problem for him.

Subsequently, Liang Yu sealed it back into the Wuji Immortal Mountain to nurture it until it was fully perfected, and then released it.
