Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 735 Guidance
In the endless starry sky, a purple dragon draped in divine light leaped through the sea of ​​thunder, stirring up the winds and clouds, shattering the vast starry sea, like a celestial being descending to earth, a true dragon descending to the mortal realm.

After a long time, he annihilated the sea of ​​lightning one by one, and the aura of the Great Dao of this purple-gold divine dragon finally merged completely with the Heavenly Heart Mark, making him the emperor of this era.

Emperor Wanlong retrieved the Wanlong Bell, which had also been floating and sinking with him in the sea of ​​thunder, back into his body, calmed his aura, and brought himself to an even more peak state.

With the addition of the dragon transformation technique he possessed at birth and the dragon blood condensation technique he later obtained from the demon race, the true dragon bloodline that Wanlonghuang originally didn't have much of was constantly being enhanced, as if he was about to truly transform into a celestial dragon.

Although Wanlonghuang himself was certain that he would need to go through an extremely long period of accumulation before he could truly sublimate and transform into a real dragon, even without achieving complete success, his bloodline power had undergone an extremely terrifying evolution.

The reason why Wanlonghuang could not succeed was that the bloodline of the true dragon was indeed too powerful, even among the legendary immortals, it was at the top level, and the level to become a true dragon was unimaginable.
Secondly, there are no more true dragons in the human universe, and he doesn't know how to evolve after that. He can only explore it slowly on his own, which is obviously something that requires both talent and time.

Feeling his own immense blood and energy and profound origin, Wanlong Emperor couldn't help but wonder where the secret technique he had obtained came from and who had helped him build his foundation.

Even after becoming the emperor of the time, he still couldn't deduce anything; he could only see nothingness.

Could it really be some kind of trick by my ancestor?
Reflecting on the secret technique he had acquired and the results of his foundation building, Wanlonghuang realized that even if he were to go back in time to build his foundation now, he probably couldn't achieve such perfection. Moreover, the profoundness of that dragon transformation technique was probably beyond the reach of Liang Yu, a supreme being who had achieved enlightenment through unconventional means.

Although that ancestor made great contributions and was very powerful, the Dragon Emperor did not believe that he could surpass him, or at least was definitely not as good as he was now.

Who could have done it? Among those beings who surpass ordinary Dao Proverbs, there seems to be only one related to their Myriad Dragon Clan: the one who once left behind a prophecy that an even more powerful prodigy would emerge from their clan.

Emperor Wanlong shook his head and muttered to himself, "It can't be the legendary Wuji Heavenly Venerable, can it?"

He stopped worrying and got up to return to his hometown, Wanlong Ancient Star, but found a figure silently appearing in front of him.

Although the figure was somewhat dim and clearly not a real living being, it still possessed a terrifying aura that made Wanlong Huang completely unable to muster any will to fight back.

Emperor Wanlong stared blankly at the figure that seemed to have only been seen in a very few ancient images and sculptures, but he quickly came to his senses and cupped his hands, saying, "Greetings, Great Heavenly Venerable."

This figure was naturally Liang Yu, but it was merely a thought of his. As a peak immortal, Liang Yu's combat power was already comparable to that of an Immortal King, but he didn't yet fully possess the characteristics of an Immortal King. Therefore, his appearance wasn't because the Myriad Dragon Emperor called his name, but rather a thought that naturally arose after the Myriad Dragon Emperor's birth stirred his mind, which Liang Yu then separated to form this avatar. Of course, he could still naturally generate a response upon hearing his true name.

Liang Yu didn't particularly praise Wanlonghuang's performance, but he didn't think he was outstanding either. He was just a normal Dao Prover who performed slightly better than the average emperor because he had better conditions.

However, his tone was indeed slightly better. With the True Dragon Elixir of Immortality and the True Dragon Bloodline, he already had a viable path. Liang Yu's thought had only come here out of old friendship, so it was simply pointing him in the right direction.

Liang Yu said, "I never expected that what I casually said back then would actually come true. There really is a prodigy among his descendants who is even stronger than him. He once said that if such a person really appeared, he would be willing to serve as his attendant. Now that you have appeared, he can be said to have gotten his wish."

Emperor Wanlong knew that the Great Celestial Venerable Wuji must be referring to their clan's ancestor. He asked, "Did the Great Celestial Venerable specially help me establish my foundation because of our past relationship with our clan's ancestor?"

Liang Yu nodded and said, "Yes, seeing you has stirred up a long-lost sense of nostalgia in me."

Emperor Wanlong said, "Thank you for the grace of the Great Heavenly Venerable in imparting the Dao."

Liang Yu said, "There's no need for that. I just did it on a whim. Now you should already know what path you want to take in the future, right?"

The Dragon Emperor said, "Transform into a true dragon."

Liang Yu said, "Then do you know where you should start?"

The Dragon Emperor asked, "Is it the True Dragon Immortality Elixir?"

Since Liang Yu once mentioned to Long Xiaotian, the ancestor of the Wanlong Clan, that if they wanted to evolve their bloodline, the best approach would be to use the True Dragon Immortal Elixir as the primary method, the Wanlong Clan did indeed dedicate themselves to researching the mysteries of the True Dragon Immortal Elixir in its early days, leaving behind a large number of scriptures and secret techniques.

However, after the True Dragon Elixir of Immortality was sealed deep within the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest, this research naturally came to an end. Of course, even without this incident, this research direction would have stagnated long ago.

After all, even achieving enlightenment through unconventional means would be difficult if one wanted to study the mysteries of the elixir of immortality, let alone for others.

Not only could Wanlonghuang see these trends from this change, but he had also studied the elixir of immortality in detail when he was in the Quasi-Emperor realm. Therefore, he naturally knew that this was the most likely direction for success in the human world.

Liang Yu said, "You guessed right, that's indeed the case. This True Dragon Immortal Elixir is the transformation of a real dragon from an unknown era, and it was a dragon with a very high realm in the Immortal Dao realm. Although its laws are incomplete and it is difficult to fully restore it, if you can achieve something, it may really make you a true dragon."

The Dragon Emperor immediately said, "Please enlighten me, Great Heavenly Venerable."

Liang Yu said, "Cultivate diligently. The True Dragon of that time was recognized as one of the strongest races in our realm and the Immortal Realm. I hope you can truly succeed."

As he spoke, he pointed a finger at the Emperor Wanlong's platform, and then vanished completely without a trace.

This single finger strike made Wanlong Emperor feel that unimaginable gap once again. Even a single finger strike from a divine thought left him completely powerless to resist. What kind of realm was this? A Mortal Immortal? Or something even higher?
However, before Wanlonghuang could ponder this further, he was drawn to a secret technique that Liang Yu had passed down to him. This was clearly a further advancement on the Dragon Transformation Technique he had previously cultivated. Not only could it promote the evolution of his bloodline, bringing him closer to a true dragon, but most importantly, this technique could also help him access the laws within the True Dragon Elixir of Immortality, making it easier for him to gain enlightenment.

With this secret technique, even if he leaves the human universe, he can continue to evolve, thereby constantly perfecting his own Dao and Dharma.
